    • 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.

    • 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.

Dear all

 

Looking for some advice on how to deal with my Gap insurance company who refuses to settle my claim.

 

My car was recently stolen. I purchased a GAP insurance from the dealer Cargiant at the same time I bought the car and the GAP insurance provider was AA Warranty, part of Motorway Direct group of company.

 

My claim has been processed by my motor insurance but the GAP insurance is now refusing to reimburse the difference between what the motor insurance has paid and the invoice price.

 

Their argument is as follows:

 

- AA Warranty will pay the difference between purchase price (car bought in September 2010 for £14000) and market value of vehicle at point of loss (car stolen in June 2011)

- Market value is defined as Glass Guide Retail value or insurer settlement price whichever is higher

- Insurer settlement is £13000 which I have accepted

- According to AA Warranty, Glass retail value at point of loss is £16000

- Therefore, as market value at loss is above invoice price, there would be no settlement

 

I have replied to them contesting their line of argument:

- Salesperson from Cargiant was clear when he sold the insurance: GAP will pay difference between insurer settlement and purchase price. Therefore, I must be reimbursed £14000-13000 = £1000 by AA Warranty

- Also seems like there are virtually no conditions under which the GAP insurance would have to settle under their terms as Cargiant is selling car at rock bottom price with market value at loss likely to remain higher than purchase price for the whole duration of the insurance contract - case in point: the car I purchased 9 month ago is valued today at £16000, which is still 16% higher than the purchase price

- Therefore, I think I have been misold a product unfit for my purpose

 

I have email them and copied Cargiant asking them to settle or I will name both company liable to the FOB

 

Have not heard back from AAWarranty for the past 10 days and unsure what should be my next course of action.

 

I think I need to wait 8 weeks prior to referring the case to the FOB but given they are not even acknowledging my complaint, if there another approach I should use?

 

Thanks for your help

I think you need to probe the information a bit more.

 

The glasses guide value of £16k is based on what ? Check to see what assumptions this valuation is based on. If £16k is correct, why have you accepted Insurers settlement of £13k. Insurance policies cover the market value of the car and they would have looked at glasses guide. So why do they think the car is worth £3k less than the market value?

 

I can see this from the GAP providers point of view. They appear to have been prejudiced by the acceptance of a below market value Insurance settlement.

 

Once you know whether £16k is a fair market value, I would suggest that you re-open the Insurance claim and see whether you can get the GAP and Car Insurers to have contact with each other to resolve with your permission. Perhaps the solution is that they both pay you £500, so you then have a total of the £14k you have paid for the car.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you for your reply

 

I find iy difficult to get a higher settlement value from my motor insurane company given the purchase price for the car was 14000 so 13000 did seem fair to me after having onwed the car for 10 months

 

And that is exactly why I believe the Gap insurance sold by Cargiant is unfit as the purchase price from such as car supermaket will always almost be below market value

 

I might follow your suggestion on probing them on the 16000 value but am also deeply upset that they wont even acknowledge my complaint

 

Any other suggestions?

 

Thanks

You have got to be pragmatic about this and look to resolve it in the easiest way. All Insurance companies have to follow the FSA complaints guidelines. Which is basically to acknowledge receipt within 2 days, come back with a further response within 20 days, issue a final response within 8 weeks and provide the policyholder with full details of the complaints process including details of the FOS process. BUT the FOS could take up to 2 years to decide on your complaint.

 

Take the advice. Probe the £16k market value, talk to your Car Insurers about this asking them to look into this. See if you can get the GAP and the Car Insurers to discuss this to resolve. Compromise would be for both of them to pay £500, so you are happy. They might be able to agree to this quite quickly, if you can persuade them.

Sorry it is my first reply but i saw your question and had to respond.

 

When you said you have accepted your insurance companies offer did you mean you have banked their payment ? This can make a big difference. I worked in the motor insdustry for 20 years and have specialised in insurance for the last 5 years and now work at a high level within an insurance company.

 

You have to understand that both the dealership and the gap insurance company and your own motor insurance comapny will not want the FSA involved . This costs them lots and lots in both time and money. Your insurance company have offered you below market value and before you do anything you have to speak to them and ask them to explain their rational behind their offer.

 

At this point providing you have not banked their payment they should increase their offer.

 

In this case it is not the dealership or the gap insurance companies fault but your own insurance company ( providing the figures you have been given are factually correct). You might want to read a the FSA treating customers fairly report. It smy first post so I can not put a link in but type it into google. What this means is that they have to treat you in an open and fair way. In fact the FSA take a very dim view of any company who dose not.

 

It is will be difficult to prove exactly what the dealership said to you as I am sure they will have covered themselves with disclaimers etc.

 

Let me know how you get on.

 

Most important do not bank the payment!

Good advice. I would hope the Insurers would still be willing to look again, even if the payment had been banked. I am sure the Insurers would not want the OP to make a complaint about the way the claim was handled, which might then end up at the FOS.

Thanks for the advice

 

I have actually not banked the £13,000 payment from the motor insurance company so am going to contact them and refer them to the letter from the Gap insurance company outlining the £16,000 valuation for the car

Your GAP Insurers are saying that the car has a current market value of £3200 and you need to speak to your Car Insurers to dispute their valuation of £2300.

 

Check the value of your car using the guides such as Parkers or Glass.co.uk and then speak to your Car Insurers. See whether they will increase their payment from £2300 or if they won't what information they need to assess a higher valuation.

Hi

 

I had a similar case. We all know that no one will want to pay more. This is actually another advantage to have GAP, you are not accepting the insurer's undervalued figure, so GAP is pushing you to get more from actual insurer.

 

Anyway the best solution is to tell your insurer about the GAP and their expected value. This is not going to harm you at all. Most of the time they will accept that value straight away.

 

Good luck

Totally agree.

 

The Gap insurance company just like your own insurance company wants to make sure that each side is paying their share.

 

In either case that is for the insurance companies to mess around with as long as you are not out of pocket.
