    • Here is my final draft: I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act.   1.        The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date.   2.        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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants 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.   3.        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.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’.  The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents.   4.        Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018.   5.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020.   6.        Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicotors is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’   7.        I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’.   8.        The claimant relies upon and exhibits a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement.   It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HH Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’.   The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause.   9.        Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not try to mislead the court.   10.   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. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. 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.

    • Hi folks, I've just found previous documentation. I thought it had gone missing. I'd forgotten that I did appeal it through POPLA but I can't find the thread on here that, I assume, I posted for help. Appeal letter is dated 27/10/2020 with a rejection. I genuinely had forgotten about this so apologies for misleading you. A lot has happened in the years since the ticket was issued. We closed down a couple of businesses and moved to the opposite end of the country to retire. The documents I have are scanned copies. I no longer have the originals. The NTK is also in there. If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know and I'll post them, although it probably won't be until tomorrow now, but I'll be looking in on this page tonight. Thank you for the responses so far
    • Hello! After emailing them I received this reply:   I have drafted the following, please would you be able to comment as to if you think it is correct/sufficient? "Thank you for your email.   Thanks you for confirming that the vehicle does not have these features as stated in the advertisement.    I am sure you are aware that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides the short term right to reject within 30 days. Statutory rights cannot be taken away from a consumer, and any attempt to do so is illegal.   Please can you advise how best to return the vehicle?" Thanks in advance!

    • 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 all last week i recieved a N1 form from Restons Solicitors for my unpaid visa bill of £4.569.21 and interest of 243.80p per day.

I was out of work for 3 months earlier in year and missed payments and admitedly just ignored letters as was generally down, i am a single parent with a mortgage to pay so other things just kind of took priority. My mortgage is up for re-newal august obviously a CCJ is going to damge my chances

 

Can a CCJ only be stopped if i pay sum in full of which i have no chance of doing?

I am working part time now so could i pay sum of monthly?

I have no idea what to put in response to the claim?

 

The claim is dated 01 July i understand i only have a week left to respond, this is getting me down to say the least any help whatso ever would be gratefully appreciated.

 

Thanks for reading

Hi Matt

 

Do you agree with the figures they state? Would you have a valid defence if defended?

 

The time process is as follows 33 days in total (5 deemed served leaves 14 to AoS and state your plea.

If defending you then get an extra 14 days to prepare and submit any defence.

 

 

Regards

 

Andy

Have you got a figure for the charges and interest? If considerable you could defend in order to force the claimant to come to some agreement.

Who is the Claimant roughly how old is the debt?

Have you ever received a Default Notice for this account?

I have no list of charges and interest but im sure there will be lots, i just buried my head in the sand when i was out of work. Send a DSAR but you may have to wait 40 days for a response to be able to quantify the amount.

Nothing to worry about and true its designed to baffle you but if you want to argue the unfair charges there is only one option Defend all anything less

will guarantee a CCJ

Thanks again

I would like to defend all then, however im quite lacking in confidence about this i dont even know what to put in the defence, writing a request for charges and interest will take the time limit over what im allowed surely?

Is there anywere on here i can have a read as i feel i must be using too much of your time and at least i can educate my self a bit more of what im doing.

The issue date of the N1 says 1st of July.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated

Process is the same and if your claim is issued from CCBC (Northampton) then its a must to complete on line.

Yes the DSAR would exceed your defence time but would balance out as the process proceeds.You could request the statements vis a vis CPR but invariably

they hardly ever comply.It is possible to request them via the CPR 18 if worded correctly.

 

Have a read of the stickies above the legal forum (shaded) and also the legal successes this will give you a taste of whats involved

and what to expect.

thanks for reply.

 

After reading a few threads im thinking i have to send off my acknowledgment of service (say i recieved the claim?), im getting confused whether i have to put in defence at this stage? Can i do this online?

Once this is done i send of a request asking for all documentation for the debt?

 

I seriously am trying to understand all this but think maybe its a bit too much for me

The process is as my post 2

 

Summons (5 +14) Acknowledge , state plea (if defending +14) = 33 During the next 14 days you prepare a defence.

But on receipt and if your intention is to defend, request information CPR/CCA/DSAR(optional) which ever applicable to your defence.

Compile you defence and submit on the 28 day by 4.00pm Simples !!!!!

 

 

Andy

 

PS AoS and Defence can be done on line all requests for info using templates via rec del Print name

Well your simples comment made me smile at least, ive filled in the AOS and filled in that i will be defending all (online), more reading for me on here i guess.

Thanks for being patient with me, sure you can put this thread in the for dummies section.

What i want to achieve out of this really is just to avoid the judgment on my file really, i do have charges and yes i was out of work for some of the time the interest just crippled me really. I will attempt to maybe get some charges and interest off the account and hopefully set up an arrangment avoiding CCJ

 

 

 

Thanks again

Glad I made you smile at least.:-)

 

Once a summons is issued the only way to avoid a CCJ is to defend anything less will result in a CCJ.There will be twists and turns along your journey

and you may still end up with a CCJ should you lose.But without defending that option would not be there.Follow the process and keep an eye on the time frame.

Post up if you are unsure of anything.

I havnt asked for an extension no, defence has to be in by 4pm next tuesday, i would like to ask for extension is this straight foward?

I know what your saying part of my defence will be based on what i get back from HFC.

 

I have wrote a truthful defence about how my relationship broke down and how i had to care for my child by myself etc etc, having to go part time for a few years then losing my job for a month this year causing default. I did contact HFC about this but they wouldnt organise a repayment plan.

Not sure how the balance got so high.

Hi Mat

 

Ok you need to get your skates on then as time is short.Ring their sols and request it over the phone and ask why as there been no response to your CPR request

Here is the relevant CPR you are requesting under:-

 

Agreement extending the period for filing a defence

 

15.5

 

(1) The defendant and the claimant may agree that the period for filing a defence specified in rule 15.4 shall be extended by up to 28 days.

 

(2) Where the defendant and the claimant agree to extend the period for filing a defence, the defendant must notify the court in writing.

 

Ask them to email their agreement to you and then attach this to your written request to the court referring to the above CPR 15.5,Verbal is no use they must confirm in writing.

 

With respect to your proposed defence a biopic content wont cut the mustard with the claimant or the court, it has to be based on legal argument

I understand completely were you are coming from but there is no sympathy in business and these companies don't really give a rats a**e about your plight

and difficulties.

 

Act on the above and do it asap as the clock is ticking.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Thanks for reply Andy,

The following is what i got from my defence i submitted.

 

I acknowledge recipt of your defence. A copy is being served on the claiment (or the claiments solicitors).

The claiment may contact you direct to attempt to resolve any dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally,the claiment will inform the court that he wishes to proceed. Thecourt will then inform you of what will happen.

 

Where he wishes to proceed, the claiment must contact the court in 28 days after recieving a copy of your defence. After that period has elapsed, the claim will be stayed. The only action the claiment can then take will to be apply to a judge for an order lifting the stay.

 

 

 

I still havnt had may request for paper work regarding this account.

I rang them and they said no, in my defence i said that i was awaiting documents

 

 

They cant refuse and if they do its considered at costs.You should have made application to Court, reported them for non compliance,

and forced them into a corner to discontinue the claim. (missed a glorious opportunity there Matt all for the sake of logging on and checking):roll:

 

Would you like to post up your defence so I can see what else you have done.(or PM it to me if you rather keep it off the forum).
