    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

Tomorrow is the deadline for Barclays to enter a defence. How do I find out if they have entered a defence, would this just show up on my money claim page on the tinternet? At the moment is states claim issued 5/9/06 and in the next column Judgement start. Do I have to wait until 12 midnight on Tuesday before I do anything?

Oh I am very excited.

Barclays enter their defence last minute, so don't get too excited, but in the long run you'll get you're money back, it takes time though.

Hold your horses nad1ne. Aren't you waiting for Barclays to acknowledge the claim, not enter a defence? The 14 days for them to acknowledge starts five days after the date of the claim issue making it the 24th of September in your case.

 

You will probably find, as paulwlton pointed out that they'll acknowledge last minute.

Oh I really think I need to calm down and have a drink. I had bought so many pairs of shoes in my head.:Cry: I guess I shall just have to wait until Sunday. dum de dum de dum.

Unless they acknowledge before then, you will probably find that once you go for a judgement, they'll respond by the end of that "judgement day" and buy themselves another 14 days. Go to this link from the MCOL to see what can happen: Her Majesty's Courts Service

 

I personally think that it's unfair that you can apply for judgement when their time is up but that, after applying for that judgement, they can jump in before the end of that day with an acknowlegment and this takes priority over your application.

 

So, in your case, if you apply on Sunday, it will be dealt with on Monday.

Sorry about the delay in replying to you. Well my computer hard drive went caput, however I managed to take a peek and just as I was advised the buggers have acknowledged my claim. Whilst I am waiting for this deadline to arrive I thought I would start the ball rolling with my abbey claim so that I have a sort of relay effect of my money coming in. I have to keep busy otherwise I clock watch.

Thank you for asking and I will keep updating as long as I can sneak on the tinternet at work.

Could someone please advise me how long Barclays have to enter a defence. My claim was issued 5/9 do they have 28 days from then or would it be 14 days from my first deadline??

 

Also will I need the copy statements for court as I was given the list of charges over the telephone and may not have all the statements in my file?

 

Thank you!

Have they acknowledged or replied to your claim? If so, they have an additional 14 days from the date the original deadline passed (judgment by default day) or in another way, they have 28 days from when it was considered to be served upon them.

 

Again expect a 12th hour plus some before they file a defence.

They have acknowledged the claim which means Sunday is the next deadline...I think. I just hope I get my dosh back by xmas. Then it will be bollinger on the table instead of lambrini. :-)

You won't. Get your Lambrini now.

 

From defence filed, the court wil send out the AQ within 14 days or so. You then have 14 days to send it back. The court then allocates a date for the hearing, which is 3 months upwards in time. B's will pay 1 week or so before hearing date.

 

YOu might be able to get some Bollie for Easter though! :razz:

Can someone shed any light on this one. I have just sent a dpa letter to make sure. It looks like I have plenty of time to get my evidence together anyhow.

 

UPDATE!

they have just entered a defence:rolleyes: so I await the usual docs.

When you prepare your court bundles, the copies of your statements form part of them as they are the documentary evidence that you need to prove your case. So, yes, you need them.

Nad1ne,

They left it again to the last minute which was the Friday before the Sunday's deadline to submit a defence. I received the allocation questionnaire yesterday in the post so I haven't really had a chance to study it, at first glance though it seems to be very confusing however I believe it to be roughly that they advised me of the charges in advance, as I went over my overdraft they believe they were entitled to charge me, the charges are legal contrary to belief and that I haven't provided them with good enough proof of what I am alleging they have taken from me. All this is wrapped up in lots of legal jargon just to try to confuse me. I think it is a standard load of bullpoop from what I have read in other peoples cases but it still makes you wobble, especially as the court needs a further £100 from you. I won't back down I have gone too far now to turn back.

 

Keep me posted on your case and good luck. :)

EEK! do I have to send these back with my allocation questionnaire as if I do there might be an issue.

I did work for Barclays and am still in contact with some of the staff so worse case senario I could ask them to provide me with screen prints of my charges, I suppose that would be ok?

NO. you add them to the court bundles. You need one for the court, one for the Judge, one for yourself and I have another bundle with all the original documents i.e. the letters between me and Barclays.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can anyone decipher this which is point 9 in Barclays defence to my claim.

"In the alternative, and without prejudice to paragraph 6 above, if (which is denied)" (paragraph 6 advises I incurred charges as I went into an overdraft without having agreed that facility) "the said charges and interest or any part thereof are unlawful or uneforceable as alleged by the Claimant or at all, the Defendant has nonetheless suffered loss and damage as a consequence of the Claimant's breach of contract in allowing the account to go into unauthorised overdraft. Accordingly, in the event that the Defendant is unable to rely on its express entitlement to enforce the necessary such loss and damage as it actually suffered, which will not necessarily sums against any liability owed hereunder to the Claimant."

 

my understanding of this is that they are counterclaiming for the ACTUAL costs incurred but would that not be admitting they charged over the odds in the first place, therefore making their charges illegal?!?

Any suggestions on how I word my section G on the allocation form as the ideas given on the faq section don't really relate to this answer.

Some quick advice would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Don't worry about Barclays' so-called defence. All they're trying to do is cover the possibilities. If their claim that the charges are right because they're in the terms and conditions is thrown out then they still want to apply them to cover their costs - without saying what those "costs" are! It's a load of dingo's kidneys which won't wash in court.

 

As for the AQ, just use the standard wording. The AQ is so that the court can know what they need to do to be ready to hear the case, in particular which track it should be allocated to, and how long it should take. It's so they can fit it into the court schedule. It has nothing to do with the merits or subject matter of the case, so it's not the place to be going into your arguments against the defence.

Has anyone done simultaneous claims with different banks?

The reason I ask this is that I was expecting a court date for my Barclays claim before my Abbey one due to there being a number of weeks between issuing these. The Abbey date has arrived however the Barclays one hasn't. Is this normal or should I chase the court?
