    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

My new partner has received a letter from Robinson Way Limited (ex LSB) for a debt of £2,324.24 under her old married name. She knows who has set the account up but has been advised by her solicitor that it's not a matter for the courts to deal with as it's not a criminal matter, Is there any legal stance that she could take to get this debt wiped off completely as the person involved in setting it up was her ex husband getting his own back on her because she left him back in 2006 due to his violent behaviour

That seems odd advice from a solicitor considering it's fraud. She should report it to http://www.actionfraud.org.uk/report_fraud She'll be given a reference number which she should quote to any DCA who tries to pursue.

I would suggest contacting the bank directly in writing and tell them she is reporting this as fraud as she has no knowledge of this account. Report it first so she can include any crime reference number etc.

 

Other people know more and can give you more detailed advice

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and all is well!

In almost identical circumstances I was given the following advice.

 

Write to the creditor stating you have no knowledge of any such debt and asking for proof. If/when documentation is supplied (it already had been in my case) write back stating categorically that it is not your signature and that you never opened the account/had the loan involved. If the creditor or anyone official asks you can tell them your suspicions as to who did open the account. I was advised that I couldn't report it to the police since I had suffered no crime or loss - any fraud was against the bank.

 

I will admit that it did take some persistence to get the bank to leave me alone but I really didn't want to risk involving the police myself if it could be avoided. So far as I know the bank never involved the police, and they never asked if I knew who's signature it was. The debt is now statute barred.

A very awkward situation, but, if, as you say this was done in spite then reporting it would be a logical action and not spite. It could be reported, saying that it is only a 'suspicion' that you know you did it, but you would prefer, unless pushed, not to name names.

*UPDATE*

 

Partner received the evidence from Robinson Way with regards to her debt (or so they claim it's her debt) I noticed the following mistakes on it instantly, the debt was a loan taken out by her ex husband back in 2004, on the loan papers it's his name only, the credit agreement has his signature and what seems to look like an attempt to forge her maiden name signature, yet Robinson Way write to her under her maiden name. She has filed a fraud allegation and got the CRN and has been to the police who took her statement. Now Robinson Way are demanding that she makes full payment with 10 working days or they will take action against her. The Police managed to get the debt held. Also when I have contacted Robinson Way on her behalf they refuse to talk to me without written consent from her, claiming it's under the DPA that stops that communicating with me.

 

Is this true or are they just holding out until they receive her signature so that they can forge it onto the documents?

Yes they are right she must give

written permission for you to act.

Make sure that there is a variation

to the signature she provides that

you can identify if there is any doubt

about any thing they come back with.

Tell them that until the fraud has been

fully investigated YOU have put the matter

on indefinite hold:madgrin:

Robbersway are barking up the wrong tree, I personally would ignore them, they can't do anything, they don't own the account, they have suffered no loss, they're petty little children with naff all to say and are saying it too loudly!

 

Give them nothing, don't ring them, if they ring you just laugh at them and hang up.

*UPDATE*

 

Robinson Way have now contacted my partner, asking for the following information:

 

A signature on official documentation

 

Proof of residence when the loan was taken out.

 

As this matter is being dealt with by Staffordshire police, she has informed Robinson Way that the signature will be provided direct to the Police and that as this is 100% fraud that she has declared this debt as an indefinite hold. Should she provide robinson way with proof of residence and a copy of her signature on official documentation or should she cease all future contact with Robinson Way and let the police deal with it?

NO! Robbersway are deluded, this is a Police matter, if they continue to attempt to frustrate the legal process and the Police investigation you should report them to the Police.

 

Robbersway are NO longer involved, tell them to take a hike and if they fail to stop harassing you you will report them to the police for attempting to pervert the course of justice. Who on earth do these fools think they are??

You are under no moral or legal obligation

to prove or disprove anything to these morons.

As BOO says it could be construed as perverting

the course of justice, so report them.

The good news is she has emailed Robinson Way and informed them that she will not be providing them with her signature. She has also informed them that she has classed this debt on indefinite hold as it's a police matter and should they continue to send her threatening letters again, she will report them to the police for harassment, perjury and attempting to prevert the course of Justice, So far robinson way have not replied back. We will keep you informed.

I agree that she has no obligation to provide them with a signature .... It is for them to prove the signature they have " is hers" , not for her to prove "it isn't hers". Be prepared for the DCA to spout off all sorts (especially by 'phone - why it is wise to record any calls, or deal in writing). However, is it helpful for you or your friend to (similarly) stretch the boundaries of legal credibility?. She might report them for harassment, but "perjury"? (have they given a false sworn statement?) and "attempting to pervert the course of justice" (again, how and where?).

Is it not better to concentrate on what they have done wrong, rather than threats you may find it hard to substantiate?.

Neither accusation would have merit

in any action, no court hearing has

been held so n perjury.

There is an investigation in progress

but as I read it there is at present no

cause for perverting the course of

justice, eg., lies in evidence to the

police.

Who really cares, they spout all sorts of legal jargon and inaccurate statements, so IMO give them a piece of their own medicine, I'd add treason on there as well....:madgrin:
