    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.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. 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. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. 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. (insert date you did receive the documents) 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’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited 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 HHJ 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. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   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. 14. 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.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again 
    • Gosh mate I've woke up this morning with half the worry I had last night when going to sleep!.  I can't believe how much this forum has helped me over the years and I don't  have the words to explain the gratitude I feel towards you guys -  Now that I've slept on it I feel ready to reject this company and my plan is to make them an offer to accept payments to date as full and final settlement - I will I think write them a letter once my review is completed or maybe just send it now whilst they are reviewing explaining my kids are unwell for which reason I'm struggling to survive and if I can politely request for them to accept payment to date as a full and final - I'll mention I don't have any cash or anyone to borrow from to offer a full or even part amount of the remaining balance of the iva and therfore am unable to make a offer of payment.   If they agree to at least even put my offer to the creditors then I feel it's better I hang in there and that way I won't have to deal with any possibilities of more defaults and ccjs    Right now the only adverse effects on my credit report are the iva that is now 3 years old and 2 Ccj one coming of this July and one thus October.    But I am worried new action will begin and new defaults and Ccj may start to appear because I've paying into an agreement im under the impression the 6 year rules starts again so yes I have lost of mixed feelings about this but I'm not going to lie you guys have put some life back into my breath this week as for the last 3 years I've felt caged like an animal and this morning I feel freer I can't explain how much but certainly my soul feel lighter today thanks to yin because I'm now viewing this review totally different to I do yesterday thanks to you guys

    • 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.

Its either letter tennis or communication ping-pong (usually done via email)... a couple of the many phrases coined to use against the debt collecting 'industry'.

 

The banks are becoming more aggressive at trying to collect 'distressed delinquent debt' and hopefully they will come a cropper as clearly some of their older systems were not robust and their archiving practices worse.

It is important that whatever letter you send, does not go against the timeline.

 

I don't understand what you mean by this Uncle B...

 

 

If DLC have written to a correct address within the 6 years and they have file notes stating payments plus contact from that address, who would the payments plus contact be from, apart from your OH ? Was he living alone at the address they had written to ?

 

The address was the correct address for the marital home, wife and three children (only one his), at the time......

 

I agree completely with your point made in red in the previous post, and it is our point entirely.

If she was on the receiving end of debt collectors and wanted to stay in her present home without hassle she may have made the payments.

 

The person they were communicating with could have been his wife, her brother, the milkman or her lover....or even her sister, who caused my OH to default on the mortgage in the first place by not paying the rent on the flat.

(To understand the type of family she comes from, close your eyes and think Jeremy Kyle!!!)

 

So does the letter which you drafted, the nice forceful one, 'go against the timeline' or can i send it because I really like it...( I think I'm far too nice for this sort of work :angel:)

Link to post

Yes the letter is ok to send.

 

My query about the timeline is this.

 

IF there was a system note on say 01/05/97, saying contact made with Mr X at 10 The High street and payment made. You cannot then say that no payment or contact was made. Yes there may be no proof in terms of a copy letter or payment details, but the FOS could still view the system note as reasonable evidence of contact. From what you state, the system or file notes are not very clear, so the FOS should not see these as evidence. If that is the case, then no problem.

We could do with some help from you.

Thank, as ever, Uncle B

 

We are not disputing the debt, or that the H and DLC seem to have had contact with someone and payments were made...

What we are asking for is proof that those contacts / payments were from my OH.

After all this is England isn't it? innocent until proven guilty???

...now just to get the b**** printer to work for a living!

just added this sentence to the first paragraph of the letter..to avoid having to copy reams of paper that they, and we, already have.

 

As you can see the only additional piece of information they have sent, was a screen shot of basic details of Mr *** address at that time, which I enclose here. Their other enclosures were the list of alleged payments and system notes which both you, the Halifax and we are already in receipt of. No proof of any communication to this address and of having made contact with Mr Heyting has been provided..

Innocent until proven guilty or random justice. Personally I think it is the latter.

 

Although debt is a civil matter and therefore it is on the balance of probability, I think justice would depend on judge lottery or in the current position, 'ombudsman lottery'.

 

Going off topic, I have read that judges are having to cancel criminal court cases, as the court service has run out of many. Apparently up and down the country, court cases are now being postponed to a time when the Ministry of Justice provides more budget. If there are people currently on bail or people in prison on remand, this will be the next scandal to hit this government. It will only take someone with a postponed court claim to commit a serious crime and the media will be calling for Ken Clarke to resign. Some of the judges have commented that the government are being very short sighted, as the costs of delaying, will just cost the country more money.

Hi Perplexedofdorset

 

I have now had time to read this sorry story from post 1 to 735. If I can give you a little re-assurance it is this. I have had two relatives and a couple of friends in the same position from the naughty nighties property scandals and can add that each one has won. Yes it's a long haul and as pointed out it is a DJ lottery if ( and I very very much doubt it that it goes to court. ) Again look on the positives, 1. They have no evidence to back up there claim of a payment ( simples ) yes a DJ could agree with a Barrister and say yep it was paid because my learned friend and I could not possibly tell a porky pie, we were in the Cambridge tidily winks association together. Yes the Judge could find against you, ( but he or she would have to watch out and it is what they all hate an overturn on appeal,) before you all shout and say, but 99% of clients do not appeal, that is correct, but what if and it's a big if that Mr perplex is that 1%.!!!!!!!!!! It would be very dodgy ground just to say we believe the banks because the banks or DCA said you paid. !!!!

 

But I digress from my main point, Silly Girl is correct, they will come to a deal believe me, it may cost say £1k - £3k or say three years at £20 and then a final £500 maybe and its goodnight Irene, two of my relatives had the same, they only paid £5.00 for 15 months then was offered a £400 FF and believe me it was for more than £26k.... Two others just fronted it out,,, it was I think 10 - 11 years with no contact and basically they said see you in court. To date nothing and now it is SB....

 

I know it is a great worry for you, but as Dougal and the Brig and Silly Girl and Uncle all reiterate, they are on a very, very sticky wicket...... No one today only DCA owners and Fat cat Bankers and the Tory party have £26k to just hand over......The reason I am so up beat on this is that if they thought they had a blooming good chance of enforcing this your OH would have been flung in front of the DJ quicker than text message from Hunt to Murdoch... Also they are at such pains to stress that they would like to come to some agreement......

 

I like a little flutter now and again and my odds that this will pan out ok for you are 5/6 on you coming out winner. Evens at a very very very reduced settlement. And as for them standing up in our show case of the world Civil Courts ( stifle sarcasm ) 100/1 against. Now keep fighting and keep taking this sound advice, it is a long haul but I am so confident you will come through on this.

 

Also, take pride in what your doing, you have learnt a lot, you are fighting back, a lone Joe Public ( ok help from this great site ) against the might of a incompetent multi- government owned bank.... You should hold your head high, don't take it personally, I expect that 99% of the people in the Halifax who press the button would have a sneaky admiration for what you are doing, ( I worked in a financial institution for three years before I saw the light and went back to helping people in the NHS ) made lots of money and spent it, but now I see what they are really like, greed greed greed. Stick in there, my money is on You and CAG to win this.

Thanks Happhyhippy1959 (I am a year older than you), my experience is from personal experience, and so far all I get is a flurry of letters and a few odd phone calls and then it is silent for months.

 

Briefly I was repossessed by a second charge company, not the main one (and they have marked my credit file they repossed on the date of sale - 8 months after the actual repossession - strike one to me), they also have been in administration and have had to repay people, no proper breakdown of amount has been given - strike two to me), and they haven't taken into consideration I am now unemployed and have no assets - strike three to me). There are others but if they now went to court the evidence against them is heavy, and again the whole account could be up for a special accountant to investigate - god knows what that would turn up! They are claiming £4,500 most of which they can't substantiate.

 

Last communication was an oik phoning up and trying to get me to make a payment, I almost felt sorry for the poor uninformed bloke who told me 'we will take you to court '.... I said 'bring it on'. He started blustering and a supervisor then came on the call and asked if I acknowledged the debt, I said NOPE, and asked if I was going to repay it, I said "NOPE" and then asked if I could record the call... the supervisor then ended the call.

 

They will put pressure on you to repay but they have very little grounds for you to do so, particularly after all this time. Remember many of these mortgage shortfalls have been sold and resold and are now getting into very murky waters.

 

Sit back and ignore them, there is very little they can do, if they could have done it then it would have already happened.

Wise words from Happy and Silly. Add Uncle to the list and you have CAG's version of Mr Men or Dwarfs. Take your pick. icon7.png

 

I know a number of people that had repossessions in the 1990's. None of them have had to pay the full shortfall. Some did not pay anything and one paid £2k for a debt of around £30k.

 

Another point is whether any judge would think it is a good idea for mortgage companies to be pursuing debts from the mid 1990's. People have to be able to move on and cannot be expected to deal with a debt from 17 years ago, arising out of a bad experience. The Halifax in this case, had Insurance to cover most of the shortfall, so it may be seen that pursuing it this late in the day, is not in the interest of either the consumer or financial services sector. Any judge may there look sympathetically on arguments related to the time delay and weakness in proof regarding contact/payments received over 10 years ago.

Wow guys...thank you!

 

Having to reiterate our argument against their claim to these people time and time again gets very time consuming, tedious and depressing and your last few comments have added something fresh to this, nearly year old, battle!

 

I will make sure my OH sits down and reads this when he gets home from his 12 hour day.

I will insist that he does. He needs to see the support from you all.

 

He has left me pretty much to it since this nightmare found us in July last year...(from a parking fine remember) and sometimes I have been beside myself with it all, but he hasn't known, because keeping him free of worries like this helps keep our life together peaceful.

Sometimes I have felt so burdened and alone...and then I log on to CAG and find friendly, helpful and informed advice!

 

To everyone on here, I am so touched by your comments and continued support.Thank you

 

Happyhippy, I'm amazed you had the stamina to read right through from the beginning Thank you for persevering and your comments!:-)

 

Silly girl, you've obviously followed this sorry tale from the sidelines, Thank you for your continuing optimism.

 

Brig, if you're out there, I know you haven't been as active as some in this case of late because you are actually out there, literally helping people with stuff like this, but I also know that if I need advice from you, you have always come to my aid...just call me Darling! :wink:

 

and Uncle B, as ever, you are my personal CAG star! :hail:

Thanks, glad to help. Though you should be thanking the person who invented the internet. Could you imagine the queues outside CAB offices, if there was no internet !

 

I have seen people affected by debt, which is why I take interest. I just don't like the way these companies operate. Very one sided. If you have an account with them, with money going in every month, they are very happy and offer you all sorts of products/services at extra cost. You never receive any free offers or letters offering free advice. Plus where is the interest on a standard account. As soon as you go overdrawn or have any problems, they hit you with interest/charges and if you don't resolve, they are all over you like a rash.

 

Then not to mention the banking crash, for which we have all had to pay towards, while some of the investment bankers have been able to retire early with a nice little nest egg.

 

I think this is why many people contribute towards CAG. Helping others but also a bit of a fight back as well.

Letter from the original lady at the FOS arrived today, she said the case has now been referred to the ombudsman and enclosed a copy of her findings in a copy of a letter she originally sent us in April.

 

Why?

 

This woman obviously does not read anything I write and still seems unaware that I have already had confirmation of receipt of my (second to last) letter from her supervisor who told me the case was being handed to the ombudsman.

I'm not indulging her with a reply its a waste of £1.55 and an hour or so of my time.

 

By the way, my husband was very encouraged by your comments when he read them, also upset that I hadn't confided in him that I had felt so despondent and burdened from all this this year...cest la vie!

 

He too is all for saying 'take me to court', one of his arguments being that the H no longer exist and the company now chasing is mostly owned by the taxpayer, that the H should never have lent him the money in the first place as it was obvious he couldn't afford it and countless other worthy moralistic points that would get him precisely no where in a court of law.

 

I however am extremely wary of that route for very good reason, and hope by some divine miracle they see its a lost cause and GIVE UP...

I expect it is just a tidy up of the file from her point of view. If you remember, you were invited to phone them to discuss how your complaint could have been handled better. They obviously diarised the file and then thought that she better send a letter. A bit of waste of her time.

 

Anyway see what the ombudsman has to say.

 

I know of people like your OH, who have any healthy disregard for these banks. One of them had paid off the amount borrowed, so decided it was OK just to default on the last few payments after they closed down their business. They didn't see why the bank concerned, should have the interest, when the business was no longer running. Makes you smile. icon7.png. I think the way the looked at it, was why should a bank expect to continue to earn the money, after a business is no longer running.

Hi Uncle B, Brig and everybody else who may have taken an interest in this sorry case, I hope you are all well.

 

Well its been a lovely long time since I was last on here but today we received a letter from the Ombudsman...

I quaked as I opened it but, to my great relief , it was just a letter saying that they were still dealing with our 'complaint' ... Phew!

one thing the letter did say was that their final decision would be 'legally binding on the business if we accept it'

 

Can anyone explain exactly what that will mean???/

 

 

Anyhow, long may this peace remain!!!

exactly what it says

 

what the FOS says

the firm MUST do.

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi, I agree totally legally binding means penalties if they don't comply with a decison of the Ombudsman that you agree to.

but what if the FOS don't uphold my complaint?????

 

Can you tell that I worry for a living??hahahahaha

 

I would not mind betting that Halifax are having difficulty getting proof of who made the payments and the FOS are pushing them for this. The FOS may be delaying it for a period to give Halifax as much time as is reasonable. Perhaps they have been given a deadline.

 

Hopefully the signs are good, as I would have thought that if the ombudsman did not think you had a case, you would have had a letter not upholding the complaint.

 

If the FOS don't uphold the complaint, then you will be back to having the Halifax asking for the shortfall. You could let them take it to court and defend. Or come to an arrangement, full & final or affordable repayments over a long period. Going to the FOS was always worth doing, as it has allowed over a year for the FOS to investigate and it has stopped you being hassled with possible court action. Also if you win, Halifax have to comply. If you lose then you are just back to where you were over a year ago.

We could do with some help from you.

All I can say is your husband is lucky. If it were me in this position, the Halifax would be right out of luck - as my wife would have killed me.

 

But good luck in your challenge

 

I had a house repossessed by the then Scabby National back in 1989-90 they came at me again in 1996 after £30k (a Mortgage they gave me for £34k when they sold the house a few years later went for £12k)

I offered them £60 a month they agreed stipulating it should be reviewed every 6 months sent me a standing order form for 6 months. The 6 went through and I never heard a thing after that.

Well dear friends (Is there anybody out there oh ooh...Da Di Dam...A very bad rendition of Pink Floyd)

 

All has been quite for the last part of this horrible year, thank god,

so all i can say is that I wish all of you who have been/are following this sorry tale,

who have given me so much reassurance and support,

and especially the Brig and Uncle B.

 

A Wonderful, Warm and Happy Christmas

followed by a Prosperous and Debt Free New Year
