    • I'm not sure on the best option here, I'm happy to go with Tomlin, however I can afford to pay this one in full if needed and wonder whether I should be trying to get a reduced amount, perhaps in the court hallway before going in? that would require submitting a WS of some sort. What I 'like' (strong word) about TO in this instance, is that it allows me to keep my savings to hand for further accounts needing attention in the near future and I would hope gives me some control over the pcm amount.. I've read a number of TO threads now (fell to sleep at the keyboard last night ) but have a few questions please: - Do I specify the payment arrangement in a TO or the claimant? I'm thinking 20% lump upfront plus 96 months of circa 60 squid. - Who decides repayment amounts if CCJ is granted? if the judge, then do I submit I&E at any point? Given the amount of total debt across all my claims, I need to ensure anything I commit to is future proofed. I wouldn't want all my disposable income sent to this one debt, only to have another one in a month or two.

    • 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.

    • 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.

Great to read posts from people who have managed to get money back from Nasty Vest.

 

I received a similar letter yesterday to that received by Gebedsman offering to repay me £4587 as a gesture of goodwill but they still stick to the 'we believe that our charges are fair and justified' story.

 

Just a point to Desparate Dan did you have to request the cheque?

 

I only ask as I would prefer to have the cash that way rather than it going direct into my account.

PPMan159 I was happily waiting for my court date when a letter and cheque from Corbetts turned up out of the blue, using the usual we are right, but as a commercial decision its better to settle the claim then take it to court line lol.

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply

 

The offer I got yesterday was from Mr Higley at Nasty Vest Customer Services in Borehamwood and not from Cobbets, as I would have expected to be the case.

 

I have just posted a letter back to Nasty Vest basically requesting that they repay to me all charges,interest and courts fees totalling £5776.72 and that I will only accept the sum of £4587 previously offered as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the balance.

 

Only once I have received full settlement will I be prepared to withdraw my claim which Cobbetts are now planning on defending.

 

I have also asked that they make an offer of compensation to me in order that I will agree to the confidentilallity clause that they wish to impose.

 

It has taken since November last year to get to this point so another coupe of weeks will not make that much difference.

THANKS TO THIS SUPERB WEB SITE, I'VE JUST HAD A CHEQUE FOR £3062!!:D If anyone is thinking of quitting the fight...DON'T!! If you need help, you'll find it on this site ~ & quickly, too!! Originally requested statements from bank end of November, sent first refund request to bank in early January, sent '14 day deadline to court action' letter in mid-February, started court action on 8th March, they acknowledged & filed defence on the 28th day :( !! I received their request for further info via the local court, which put me on the verge of giving it all up :confused: until I followed the advice on this site & sent the 'Claimants Response' letter. Was really suprised to have a hearing date through for just a fortnight later!! Should have been going to hearing this coming Wednesday but received a cheque on Saturday which was just £28 short of my total claim for charges, interest & court fees . I'm not going to argue about that!! They really dragged it all out to the bitter end, only responding to everything at the last possible moment! & leaving me very little time to notify the court with the weekend & bank holiday:mad:!! Anyway, it was all worth it in the end!! I really couldn't have done it without your site & will be giving a donation to say thank you as soon as the cheque is in my account!! Keep up your good work!! I'm sure there are plenty of others like me out there who need all the help they can get!! Thanks again. :D xxx

(I'm sorry, I can't even find my thread to ask for it to be moved!! Please could someone do the honours for me, if poss!! :o )

Hi Guys, couple of questions I'd like to ask cos I've now had enough of Natwest. Since 1st May I've had £380 charges applied to my account. That is insane! I'd like to know; where do I send the letter for requesting my last 6 years of data, do I enclose £10 cash or £10 cheque and if a cheque, who is it payable to? And then, finally, who do I send the letters saying I want to reclaim my charges too?

 

Thanks folks, I'm really encouraged by some of the success stories here.

Carl.

Weymouth

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

To begin with open your own thread in the Nat West section under Weymouth v Nat West.

 

That way it will be easier to follow as all of your posts will be in your own section and will not get confused with others.

 

The SAR should be sent to the following address:-

 

National Westminster Bank Plc

Customer Relations

Ground Floor

National Westminster House

225 Shenley Road

Borehamwood

WD6 1TE

 

Enclose a cheque for £10 payable to Nat West and then wait 40 days.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that NatWest paid back my charges. I sent my 2nd letter with the calculation of costs spreadsheet and also my bank statements (hadnt sent them first time round and got a letter back to say I had to send them). Sent the letter on the Tuesday 17th July and got a reply on Saturday 21st July saying that they didnt agree with that they had done anything wrong but would agree to pay back £4,024 which is exactly the amount I asked for! The money was put into my account on Wednesday 25th July.

Thanks to CAG for all your help. I cant believe that they paid up without a fight - fantastic!
