    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • AMEX and TSB the 2 Creditors who you need to worry about the least, ever!  Just stop paying them and forget about it, ignore all their threat o gram letters.  Only if, and with these 2 it's a massive if, you end up with a claim form you need to respond, and there will be plenty of help here.
    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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.

That's complete rubbish. If it shows on your bank statements, regardless of whether it shows as JSA (IB) (It will probably show as DWP) and your income is below the threshold then they should be able to assess your claim. Local Authority benefits are not dependant on whether or not someone receives an income based benefit.

 

The regulations: http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/uksi_20060215_en.pdf

 

My advice is to get your MP onto it. You will need to do this in any case if you plan going to the ombudsmun.

well this is the problem i was never sent an award notice from te Job Centre. I asked about it and kept being told i'd get it in the post which i never did. I gave up asking in the end. I told the council i have my JSA signing on book and bank statements which clearly show JSA payments have gone in. They told me they wouldnt accept this and needed the ETD form from the job centre to proove i am in payment....

 

As ErikaPNP has said, your LA is talking complete nonsense, they do not require the award notice if you have bank statements showing the payment of JSA (IB). The payment of JSA will show on your statements as your NI number followed by DWP followed by JSA, e.g AB123456C DWP JSA.

 

Also the LA are able to check on CIS what benefit you receive as well as contacting your BDC (Benefit Delivery Centre) to verify the information. You will have already given your consent to this.

 

Part 8 para 72 CTB Regulations states

 

72.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2) and to paragraph 4 of Schedule A1(a) (treatment of claims for council tax

benefit by refugees), a person who makes a claim, or a person to whom council tax benefit has been awarded,

shall furnish such certificates, documents, information and evidence in connection with the claim or the

award, or any question arising out of the claim or the award, as may reasonably be required by the relevant

authority in order to determine that person’s entitlement to, or continuing entitlement to council tax benefit

(a) See the Housing Benefit and Council Tax Benefit (Consequential Provisions) Regulations 2006 (S.I. 2006/217), regulation 7 and Schedule

4, paragraph 3 for regulation 7A and Schedule A1 (claims by refugees).

61

and shall do so within 4 weeks of being required to do so or such longer period as the relevant authority may

consider reasonable.

Too many staff in the benefit section of LA's are not comrehensively trained enough to know the rules and regulations and wghat constitutes evidence of benefit.

The advice I give in relation to benefits should be viewed as general advice and not specific to your individual claim circumstances. I cannot give specific advice on your claim as I cannot access the claim.

Hi, I don't know anything about CAB representing you but I represented myself in ET 3 weeks ago. The case was adjourned for 3 weeks and we go back tomorrow..When I got to the ET everyone else had a solicitor, but this is a free service and if you feel that you are right, then go for it and represent yourself, after all, you've got nothing to lose.When preparing for the ET you will be asked to submit a witness statement (basically stating your case), just make sure you get all incidents and facts date carrect, and then double check as well.Good luck

been in th CAB all day she rang the council to find out exactly what they need. Then the job centre to find out why they havnt done it. The job centre are supposedly sending me proof of benefits. So when i got in i found a lovely council tax bill for the last two months. whic i shouldnt be getting. So i had to go te council for the 5th time this week. Lucky for me i actually got a woman who gave a **** and knew what she was doing. She said the job centre have FINALLY sent the EDT (whatever that is) today. hmm wonder if the mp getting on to them and the CAB has anyhting to do with there speedy sending of the form. She told me to ignore the bill as they only got the edt today. she also showed me the system which showed how much im geting payed in aug and she worked it out soo im now on the full benefit and got the back pay.

yes kind of . you have to swear on oath and after you read your statement the other side's solicitor cross examines you. Any way I lost ! but if I had won I coudn't have got the money anyway cos he's just dissolved the company. One thing though, he had a solicitor so had to pay him anyway,I didn't so nothing lost.

Thanks,I guess it depends what your claim is worth whether you get a solicitor or not, and how strong your case is, nothing lost in enquiring though. I have spoken to 2 solicitors and had free advice on the phone, it's all helpful.

You can volunteer, in fact it's encouraged. There are a few rules. Basically, the work must be for a charity (you can't be doing a job that the employer would otherwise pay someone to do), you can't work for family members, and you must be available to start paid employment if you get an offer.

 

And of course, you must tell the Jobcentre what you're doing.

  • 5 weeks later...

Basically i worked for a well know supermarket. I worked there for around 6 months. The place made me suicidle and in the end i walked out. when i worked there i never got my 1st wages. I was told several times a cheque is in the post. After two weeks i told them i hae bills topay so i want it out of the safe. They gave me it and told me to cash the cheque and then give them the money to put back in the safe. So then the area manager rings me up and accused me of theft!!!!!!!!!! So when the cheque cleared i payed it back. Then on the next pay day they had taken it again out of that months wages. So i ever got paid for the first month. After months of asking for it back and then my hours being cut i gave up. They would also have me in doing 12 hour shifts 3 days a week. I was never allowed a dinner break yet they always used to take the dinner break out of my wages. Most nights were there until 10pm but they only paid us until 8 so they were getting 3 hours a day work out of everybody for free. This was over two years ago so im aware theres nowt i can do now. Just trying to give you a general picture of the kind of people they are.

 

I have several facial piercings and was told at my intervie it was fine. I specificlly asked about this and told them if it was a problem i can take them out (im lucky they dont close over :D). Again she said this wasnt a problem. Around two months after startin the area manager marches over to me and shouts "get them out now" i told her no and that was the end of it. Around 3 months later i was in the office about to go on shift and she says to me "i dont know if you can work for us anymore with those things in your face" by this point id had enough and asked her if i should just leave she said "you can work your weekend shifts and ill speak to head office and let you know on monday" basically she had no time to get cover and wanted me to do her a favour before sacking me!!

 

so anyway (sorry for waffleing) I got another job and was put on emergancy tax. I asked the previous for my p60/p45 i was basically told to go away i also never got my last pay slip. I wrote to them several times andwas ignored. I went back to the store and there was a new manager. He took a note of my number and told me the area manager would phone me back. she never did. I went back in and was fobbed off again. In the meantime im still on emergancy tax.

 

I went the tax office about it and they were as useful as a chocolate fire guard! so i out in a complaint and was fobbed off. Afet going back three times to tax office i got somone who seemed intrested for a change. She said the previous job had told them i didnt pay any tax. Which i did it was on my payslips. unfortunatly i dont have any left because ive moved several times since. She also told me when i worked for kwik save they also hadnt told them about my tax etc. She said she would write to them both asking for all the info. Now as far as im aware neither have replied. The tax office wrote to them both over 1/12 years ago!!! so basically what can i do about it? im owed over 600 just for one job in emergancy tax!!! every job ive had since ive been on emergancy tax!!!:-x
