    • This time you do need to reply to them with a snotty letter to show you'd be big trouble for them if they did try court. We will help this evening.  
    • Hi, I just wanted to update the post and ask some further advice  I sent the CCA and CPR request on the 14th May, to date I have had no reply to the CCA but I received a load of paperwork from the CPR request a few days ago. I need to file the defence today and from the information I have read the following seems to be what is required.  I would be grateful if some one could confirm suitability   Claim The claim is for the sum of £255.69 due by the Defendant under an agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a PayPal account with an account reference of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)  The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 15-09-21, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £0.00. The Claimant claims the sum of £255.69   Defence  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 1. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have had financial dealings with PayPal  in the past but cannot recollect the account number referred to by the Claimant. 2. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am not aware of service of a Default Notice by the original creditor the Claimant refers to within its particulars of claim.  3. Paragraph 3 is noted. On the 14/5/2024 I requested information related to this claim by way of a Section 77 request, which was received and signed for by the claimant on 20/5/2024. As of today, the Claimant has failed to respond to this request, and therefore remains in default of the section 77 request and therefore unable to enforce any alleged agreement until its compliance. 4. Therefore it is denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) Show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and: (b) Show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice Pursuant to s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 5. Paypal (Europe) S.A.R.L is out of the juristriction of English Courts. 6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 7. By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed, or any relief.
    • Thanks @dx100ukI followed the advice given on here... then it went very quiet!  The company was creditfix I think then transferred to Knightsbridge (or the other way around) The scammer independent advisor was Roger Wallis-having checked his LinkedIn profile just this morning, it does look like he's still scamming vulnerable people... I know I was stupid for taking his advice, but i do wonder how many others he has done this to over a longer period of time (it came as a  massive shock to him when our IVA suddenly failed). Lowell have our current address (and phone numbers if the rejected calls over the past couple of days is anything to go by!) No point trying the SB because of the correspondence in 2019? Thanks
    • I have received the following letter from BW Legal today.  Also includes form if I admit the debt and wanting my income details.  Do I reply to this LETTER OF CLAIM please?  Looks like they are ready for court now??  Thank You BW Legal - Letter of Claim.pdf
    • According to Wikipedia - yeah, I know - the site is owned by Croydon Council. It's at least worth a try to contact the council and ask for a contact in The Colonnades. You could then lay it on thick about being a genuine customer and ask them to call their dogs off. It's got to be worth a try  https://www.croydon.gov.uk/contact-us/contact-us

    • 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.

As this loan is signed by you alone I fail to see how they expected the premiums to be affordable after your personal work income would come to a stop.To know this is a likelihood is unfair to you. I think this loan should be alterd by the Judge so you can repay it and keep your home. As above, POC and defence for us to view and please let us know if you need help to do this, as if any probs someone else can hopefully do it for you. Late now so will be back tomorrow and I will chat to Caro so we can all put our thoughts as to the solution to put to the Judge.

Hi everyone,

 

I have a new problem in addition to my ongoing Repossession case !My local council have informed me they are withdrawing the loan, arranged through them and finally agreed in November 2011, as they have been informed by Swift that there is a Repossession hearing ongoing and so they have withdrawn the funding agreed!

 

The loan was due to the fact they had stopped doing grants for housing renovation/repairs for which I had been on the waiting list for 2 years.I was then told I could instead access £8000 for essential repairs to my roof and Wessex Loans would put a charge on my house.This was done and signed and sealed in November and I had scaffolding go up and some essential emergency repairs were done (£1750), and the main work was scheduled in the better weather in March/April this year. The scaffolding stayed up.

 

When Swift notified both the council and Wessex(due to charge already on), the council contacted the roofer and told him to not do any further work - with no explanation!

 

He naturally contacted me and I contacted the council. I pointed out that I have a very good case against Swift etc. etc. and will not be repossessed BUT even in worst case scenario, all it would mean for the council would be that they would get their money back quicker, as I have over £100,000 equity !

 

They replied they had taken legal advice and could not risk council money. The next day I got a letter from Wessex regretting the turn of events and saying they will remove the charge ( Probably tomorrow- unless I can stop them!)

 

I have written back to the council and am also mentioning their liability for work already done, scaffolding etc.and appealing to them again to reinstate the loan, as I desperately need this work done as the roof is very bad, and this was the only way I could get it done!

 

I intend threatening to contact the local government ombudsman.

 

Can they go back on the agreement like this? Is it legal?

 

I am devastated as I now have yet another fight on my hands, alongside Swift!

 

Any info. or suggestions very welcome!

 

Many thanks !

Hi,

 

I will do it if there is no other way - not just idle threats !

 

Does anyone know if it is actually legal as the loan agreement is between me and Wessex loans, as I have not breached any of their conditions ?

 

Thanks,

 

M

Swift is a business that I had never heard of until the death of my father aged 78. I have collected a large amount of paper work and found that he used Swift to help finish a house he was building for himself - the Bank had already refused to lend him the £14k outstanding needed to finish the work.

He was 72 when the loan was taken out over a 25 year period. He was a self employed market trader with little to no income.

 

I can not understand why anyone would lend him monies with so clear a prospect of him never being able to make the repayments. The house is up for sale and Swift are piling on the interest on a daily rate. Anyone know how the family stand when dealing with them and who would be the best persons to contact?

I'd suggest an Unfair Relationship under Section 140 of the Consumer Credit Act - go seek legal advice. You'll need it against this lot.

Woody, if you would like to start your own thread, I am sure there will be lots of people who would be able to offer advice.

 

I thought lenders weren't allowed to lend monies where the term would be after a certain age !
