    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim. 1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

OC is original creditor

 

you will prob need to SAR the claimant too

 

as i suspect they are relying on a 'phantom' payment

which magically appears to try and 'null' the SB

 

SB'ed will be your probable defence

 

if this is the case

 

i suspect they'll drop the claim once you defend

 

dont let them

 

go to court and claim wasted time and costs

 

the judge will be none too happy.

others will be along when they come online soon

Ok so just to clarify am i right in i have to do the following?

 

1. Tick defend all of claim and return just the acknowledgement of service?

 

2. Send SAR to Halifax Cetelem?

 

3. Send SAR to Tessera Portfolio?

 

will any adapted SAR template from these forums suffice, (not saying they are different)

Hi,

I'm no legal expert either but I think you should be sending tessera a cpr 31.14 to get the document(s) they are relying on BUT in their POC's they have given very little information. Is what you posted in post 1(the POC's) as it came or is there more?

 

You do need to be sending Halifax a SAR to get as much info about payments and get a copy of your credit file to see what (if anything) shows

 

In post 1 you say Southend but in a later post you say Southampton? As it isn't an MCOL document, you cannot acknowledge this online. You will need to take it to the local county court. It will get transferred to your local court when it comes to the hearing.

 

If you haven't read this yet, I recommend you do so

Hey Silverfox,

 

thank you for your input and the link,

 

the POC is exactly as above very vague.....

 

it is in Southend CC, so i sent the AOS by post today hopefully for them to receive before the 14 day lapse - court papers issued on 3rd, but i will ring the court on monday to confirm they received them.

 

 

i have ready a CCA and SAR to Tessera's solictiors ELS , i will reprint and send both to halifax instead,

 

i have also printed a CPR ready to be fired off to ELS copied from this link ( cant post link dont have 20 posts, cut and paste please)

Hi Penfolds,

 

As court action has already been started, you do not have to send a SAR and pay £10 for each, nor a CCA request

 

Anything you require that's referred to in the POC, you will seek direct from the Claimant's solicitors using a CPR 31.14 request. I'd seek the credit agreement, Default Notice, Termination Notice, Notice of Assignment and all account statements, based on the fact that they refer to "the account" in their POC.

 

Anything further that you require that is not mentioned in the POC, you will seek using a CPR 18 request.

 

The Stickies at the top of the forum have much useful info about using the 2 types of CPR requests.

  • 2 weeks later...

And this was there response-

 

Thank you for your letter of 16 May 2011.

 

In response to your request please note the following.

 

1. This will have to be ordered from the original lender, Halifax Cetelem. It will take some time for our client to obtain this additional information from the vendor.

we have therefore discussed this case with our client who has confirmed that they are content for us to place this matter "on hold" for the time being whilst the document is awaited.

 

2. The deed of assignment is a private and confidential document between the vendor, purchaser and any financiers who may have been involved. It contains confidentiality clauses and consequently we are unable to provide you with a copy. This is not necessary under UK legislation.

 

3. The notice of assignment was sent to you on 22nd September 2003. This complies with the current UK legislation. We enclose a print of the precedent Notice of Assignment letter. The claimant has written its own computer case management system which has been operational since 1995. The computer system has within its database numerous precedent letters, including the Notice of Assignment. Your details and amount due and owing etc are extracted and populated into relevant precedent letters. From reference to the claimants computer system please find enclosed a printout of the in-fills used to populate this letter. It is possible to cross reference the in fills from the letter to the printout, (e.g. "StandardField03" on the letter relates to your title, in this case "Mr"). A copy of the printout containing the in fills is also enclosed. We are unable to provide with a full reconstituted copy as neither this firm nor our clients have a stock of Halifax Cetelem paper.

 

4. The Default Notice was sent to you on 26 September 2008. A reconstituted copy is enclosed.

 

5. The Termination Notice was sent to you on 10 October 2008. A reconstituted copy is enclosed.

 

We Trust that the above information will be sufficient for you to recognise the debt in question.

Furthermore you have previously acknowledged the existence of the debt, as evidenced by the payments received via our clients previous agents, as shown on the enclosed statement.

 

Our client has to date received £2,320.25 from you, with the last payment being received on 16 November 2009. We therefore invite you to put forward your firm and realistic repayment proposals for commencing repayment of the remaining debt and await your response within the next 14 days.

 

We have also taken this opportunity to discuss the case with our clients who have indicated that they may be willing to accept a sum less that the full balance due if this will enable the case to be concluded in the short term also avoiding the need for further legal proceeding. We therefore look forward to receiving your proposals for dealing with the outstanding balance.

 

-----------------------END-----------------------

 

 

 

Ok so i will scan up the enclosed documents later this is evening ..... watch this space!

 

 

so i think i now need to submit my defense? - although they do mention this has been put on hold .

 

 

 

Thanks for reading, i am keen to hear caggers input.

 

Kind Regards

4. The Default Notice was sent to you on 26 September 2008. A reconstituted copy is enclosed.

 

5. The Termination Notice was sent to you on 10 October 2008. A reconstituted copy is enclosed.

 

 

30 days hath September ergo if it was sent on the 26th sept and terminated on the 10th Oct they admit the DN to be faulty.

 

have you been prejudiced by this termination? Yes!!

 

Besides being deprived of the statutory period of notice in which to remedy matters you were prejudiced by the account being terminated, the bank refusing to deal with you or accept further payments under the original agreement, the marking of your credit files with the default prevented you from realistically being able to raise finance to settle this commitment from another source yada yada.

 

But what puzzles me is why the dn and tn's were sent in 2008 when you say it defaulted after approx 1 year and the account was purportedly assigned to a debt collector in 2003. What agreement exactly were they defaulting and terminating?

 

methinks this stinks.
