    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • 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.

Hi,

I have received paperwork last week from NRAM / Wallers solicitors with a court date of 25th July and a claim for possession.

 

I bought my house in 2006 and have issues with either me or my partner not working since almost the beggining.

 

It seems like every time one of us works the other is laid off, leading to a mass of mortgage arrears.

 

We got back on top in Jun 2010 and was making our regular instalment plus £100 extra (totalled £600).

 

At this point they said they would capitalise the arrears.

This made our payment £662.

 

My partner was then laid off (again) and we have ammassed arrears since then, totalling £8.5k as I have stupidly been paying off all our other debts rather than the mortgage.

 

This may sound daft but it seemed that 1 letter per month from NRAM was better than 15 or 16 from our creditors......

 

To cut a long story short I wrote to NRAM last month to ask for details of charges etc that had been applied,

 

they wrote back saying I need to do an SAR (fair enough), but in the meatime have started proceedings.

 

We are now both working and in a position to pay regular,

 

I was wondering if there was anyone who could help me write a defence.

 

Thanks in advance for all your help,

 

an urgent response would be appreciated due to the short timescales.

 

Cheers

 

Can anyone help?

Hi there, I can help you with your defence. Have you done a budget sheet to work out exactly what your finances are? Your mortgage, council tax and utility bills are your priority, everything else will have to make do with negotiated smaller payments if necessary (we can help you with that too). I have affixed the budget sheet we normally use - it calculates automatically as you fill it in. Let me know when you have completed it and I'll make a start on your statement for defence.

 

In the meantime can you answer the following:P

 

Is the mortgage in joint names?

Do you have any children living at home?

How many payments do you think you have missed ?

Hi,APologies for the delay in response, and thank you for responding. In answer to your questions:Is the mortgage in joint names? Yes - I bought the house in 2006 with my best friend, but he has very little to do with it.Do you have any children living at home? No - but I do have a 26 month old boy who lives with his mum but stays with me at weekends.How many payments do you think you have missed ? Arrears were capitaised in Aug 2010 (For around 10 payments), only made 1 payment since.Can start paying a portion this month (probably around £300) and full payments as of August as 2 of my CCJ's finish and my loan.Do you need me to send you the budget sheet once I have completed?Thanks in advance for your help.

Can anyone help? Panicking now as the hearing is next week.

 

I thought it was on 25th July?

 

Hi, you don't need to fill in the forms sent to you by the court - the affixed statement and budget sheet will be ok. You need to fill in the info where there are XXX's at the top (remove the XXX;s) the info you need will be on the court forms. Read through it carefully to make sure everything is OK. When you print it out, your printer needs to be set for A4 paper (not Letter size) so it all stays on one page.

 

On the budget sheet – write the Claim number on the top left hand corner and Appendix 1 on the top right hand corner.

 

 

Now assemble as follows:

Statement - signed

Budget Sheet - Appendix 1

 

Make sure it is stapled securely together. You will need to take a photocopy of it all for yourselves so you have a set to refer to in the hearing. You need to hand it in to the court asap. Ask the court staff if there will be any free legal advisors on duty on the day of your hearing.

OK, make sure you ask at the court if there are any free legal advisors on duty that day. If there are, approach them and they can accompany you into the hearing and support your case.

  • 2 weeks later...

hi,Just to give you an update. Attended yesterday for the hearing. There was a duty solicitor on so had a chat with her and she accompanied me into the hearing, she was really good. The hearing didnt go as well as planned - the judge ordered I pay £120 rather than £60 on top - but better than losing my house so happy days for now.The only other thing to add was he commented on the section 'entertainment'. I had put £100 per month as this is what I usually spend entertaining kids etc but he wasnt happy about that, he also highlighted the cigarettes section as an area to quit (obviously if only it was that easy). My feedback would be to change the entertainment heading to something more suitable i.e. leisure activities (probably not the best example) or something along those lines....Thanks again for your help.

  • 5 years later...

Hi all,

 

I am looking for a bit of advice. I took a mortgage with a friend back in 2010 for a total of 89k (95% mortgage + 5% unsecured loan).

 

About 2 years later due to personal problems the house was repossessed (completely my fault I struggled with gambling at the time and basically spent the money - yes I know - stupid!). This left 57k outstanding.

 

I did my best to try and resolve the situation, but at the time I only earned around 15k a year and could only afford £15 per month.

 

They accepted this and I moved address a couple of times so never really thought anything of it whilst trying to rebuild my life.

 

The standing order remained in place and has done since the repossession approximately 5 years ago, but I have never received any further letters (assuming because they no longer have my address).

 

Anyway, 5 years later I am now married, and also rebuilt the relationship with my friend. He had also moved address and heard nothing further.

 

He contacted me the other day and said a letter had been received at his mums about the debt (still approx 57k) and questioned what to do.

 

So - I am looking for some advice - what should I do? My circumstances have now changed but still wouldn't be able to pay a significant amount towards the debt (other priorities / 3 kids / claiming tax credits).

 

The other thing is they have marked the debt on my credit file as satisfied - I have worked really hard over the past few years to repair my credit file (the last default drops off in June) and dont want to ruin it again by having an IVA so this really isnt an option.

 

Am I just expected to keep paying for it forever or does there come a point where enough is enough?

 

Many thanks in advance. D
