What will follow and what should i do after? Thanks again for all the help and patience.
    • Good evening, so not a good weekend reviewing paperwork -- I have lost some proofs of postage.. also, although not provided at CCA, they have now supplied a DN in their WS, please see scan of claimants WS (without statements) Document with tick boxes as signatures doesn't look like an agreement and is split across pages. Documents have been stapled and copied multiple times looking at the top left of them. Aside from that, having read other threads, I suspect they have everything? appreciate your input please Sorry for heavy redactions, I noticed the paperwork was see-through LinkHalifaxCC1.compressed.pdf
    • Received a final demand today Final demand.pdf
    • 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.

    • 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.

I need some help in understanding which route to take - PPI or Credit Card Charges. I requested data from MBNA by following the template letters on money saving expert site on making a claim for charges. When I received the documentation I noticed that there was PPC on the credit agreement and some payments made out for Card Protection and Posted Credit Insurance fees so that has left me a little baffled on which route to take. Also, an someone help me understand what is meant by charges? does this include interest payments also? Thank you.

Hi

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

Charges reclaims are to do with things like "Late Payment Fees", "Over Limit Fees", "Teleohone Calls", "Letter Charges" and the like.

 

PPI reclaims are specifically to do with ppi, the insurance that was provided, forced, hidden and just plain mis-sold to the unsuspecting customer.

 

When you say you are unclear which route to take, if you have charges as outlined above and ppi which was mis-sold, you can go for both.

 

They are two separate claims and the process for reclaiming is different for both.

 

Regards

Hi

 

Thank you for explaining the difference. However, the PPI taken was just small amounts in 2004 and 2005 and then after that I have been hit with so many charges and in most cases double entries taken on the same date. I am at present just about to send a letter to ask for the charges back and just needed to know whether I can claim back interest as there are two headings on the entries one for posted retail interest and the other for other interest. As well as finance charges I have overlimit fee on account alance and over limit fee on balance charges. I am very grateful for your help with this. Many thanks

Hi

 

Before submittingany claim I'd strongly recommend you do some reading in the MBNA forum and also the success strories in the Barclaycard forum....yu shoudl ideally follow a process with the claim.

 

Yes you can cliam interest but only the interest that will be attached to the charges, not the interest that features on your statements.

 

You should prepare a claim schedule and I've attached a spreadsheet that will calculate your claim for you. Amend your details in the blue section and change the APR to the rate that was being charged on your card. Then move to the white list section under the coloured bits and list each of the charges you have incurred which are desribed as late payment, over limit fee and the like. Give the date of the charge, the description and the amount. The rest of the calcs are done for you. Please note that the spreadsheet is protected in certain areas to prevent changes to the formuale. If you get a protection message it means that you are trying to change data in a protecetd cell.

 

When you have finished you will have a schedule of claim and it will show the total charges and the interest you are claiming on those charges.

 

You then send a prelimianry letter to the lender with a copy of the spreadsheet demanding a refund and you give them 14 days to pay up. There is a letter template in the library, the link to which is at the top of every CAG page in green.

 

If they don't you can send them a letter before action and if they still don't pay then you issue in court.

 

If it gets to that stage, only threaten court of you intend to go through with it.

 

Also have a look here to get information on the amount of interest you can seek.

Wow so much information to look at. I have a full breakdown and will need to look at each entry level. If you can recommend someone or even yourself I can get some assistance to do this with then I would be grateful. Thank you.

Hi

 

As you may know, this is an open forum and you'll get input from a number of members.

 

First physical thing to do is get the spreadsheet completed as details above. That of course involved going through all of your statements, finding the type of charges I have mentioned and entering them into the spreadsheet as described above. If you come accross a charge that you don't understand, just ask.

 

Don't forget, there is a huge amount of information on this site...my advice would be not to rush the claim....make sure you are comfortable and confident with your claim because it unlikely that they will pay up without a fight.

Hi Yes I undertstand and I am new to the forum. I just feel confused as to how to go about things but will try and go through the statement line by line. It is very difficult to understand what a certain amount of interest applies to and also the finance charges as I have not had the use of my card since last year but there are always double entry finance charges after I have paid an instalment. Thanks for giving me a direction though.

Hi

 

Yes it can be a bit daunting to start with but you'll get there I know.

 

When you are going through your statements, forget and ignore anything that has the word "interest" in it.....you're not needing those for your claim.

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