    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

A few months ago I received letters relating to £10,000 debt to Capital One Credit Card. Upon research I found out that it was my husband who spent this money but the card was in my name. We are not together anymore, I informed Cabot this but they stated I was the card holder so I have to pay, even though my ex husband has agreed to go to Court to state this. The debt was from 2008 and up until some weeks ago there has been no letter regarding this, certainly nothing from Capital One.

Is it too late to ask for original Credit Agreement? I have 14 days to fill in the claim form and send back.

Please advise what should be my next step!

Hi Cheeky

 

I assume you mean you have received a summons from Cabot.You have 33 days in total to deal with this (5 deemed served 14 to Acknowledge service and another 14 if you intend to defend.You can request documents via a CPR 31.14 ( if docs are referred to in the Particulars of claim) request and a copy of the agreement by way of a sec 78 request.If you could type out the particulars of the claim verbatim less any identifiable data.

Hi Andy,

 

Hmm not familiar with either of the documents you quoted below.

 

Should I send a sec 78 request first? I have not seen any Credit Card Agreement from Capital One, if I haven't signed one, are they still eligible to the money?

Appreciate your help!

Cheeky ;-)

Its in the templates section (letter N I recall) If you have never acknowledged the debt with Caboot then its important to head the request with " I do not acknowledge any debt with your company "

Unless you report your ex for fraud, I’m not sure his standing up in court and taking the blame will help that much. Where did the statements go to? Was it to a different address to your own?

 

Sending a CCA request at this stage implies you know what the account is about, and really you do not know because you did not take out the agreement.

 

Need to be very careful here.

If you have received a summons Donkey with the debt and account number in your name a request for the agreement is not an acknowledgment hence my advice to head it as above.

I presume this is MCOL.

 

Once you have got a defence together with the help of the people here, you may also join your "husband" in to the action by citing him as a defendant in an "additional claim" (Civil Procedure Rule 20.7). That is if he has agreed to be liable and indemnifies you.

 

In the worst case scenario, if you are not successful in your action, he will also be liable as a result because he admitted to it earlier on in the claim before judgment. This will result in both of you having CCJs if your action is not successful.

 

You will need to file the additional claim as per CPR 20 at the same time as you file your defence. Don't do it any later otherwise you will need the permission of the court.

 

If it was MCOL, you won't be able to do this online hence why you will need to call them up and get a fax number to fax over your defence and the additional claim. There is a charge for the additional claim, the amount escapes me right now but you are looking at something between £30-£50.

 

The additional claim has to follow a certain format as regards content, etc however if you want to defend, I would get that out of the way as a priority and then think about the additional claim with your husband as a defendant later.

I will deal with husband later, too late to be messing round with that just now. Need to get this off my back. The letter is a Claim form in the Northampton County Court. I only received this yesterday and it is dated 29th September!! Then they say I only have 14 days to reply! I still haven't found the 'Letter N' template which is the sec 78 request letter. I really need to get this off tomorrow, at least it acknowledges that I have responded. There seems to be no court date on letter though.

If you acknowledge the claim online, as another stated above, you have 33 days from the date of issue. Just ensure that you go online using your MCOL defence pack and acknowledge the claim.

 

As stated, I leave you in their hands now.

 

Good luck.

Thank You! I have been online and done the AOS to acknowledge claim. I guess now I need to get the SEC 78 Request letter out to Cabot and send the £1 PO.

 

What happens if they don't come up with a signed agreement from myself???

Hi Cheeky,

By all means send your CCA Request, but in terms of the summons, as Andy says, you URGENTLY need to send what is called a CPR 31.14 request. This is for documents mentioned in the POC. .

Unlike the CCA Request, a 31.14 request is enforceable by the court if they don't comply, giving you additional protection and a possible avenue for a strike out if they fail to disclose.

 

 

We can help you with this, but need to see the Particulars of Claim to do so as the wording of the 31.14 is dependant upon the POC. Equally importantly a request for an extension of time is usually incorporated in the 31.14 letter.

By my reckoning at present your time is up on 1st November.

 

Hope this helps,

Putting the ex aspect to one side you need all your ducks in a row to defend, which means not only whether they can produce the agreement but also establishing whether a default notice/notice of assignment etc were correctly issued, whether there's any missold PPI or unfair charges etc etc

I can send copy of POC to you?

I have been online (MCOL) to acknowledge the claim which gives me more days.

I don't ever remember filling in details for the Capital One Card, but I do remember using it in the past, not to the tune of 10k but at least husband owned up to that part. They have never sent me any letters of default on payment I just received the letters from Cabot stating that this debt is from 2008.

I have done the sec 78 request letter and got the £1 PO ready to send by Rec Delivery.

Do you know if your husband (ex) received any statements or default notices?

 

It would appear that you were named in the contract as an additional cardholder and therefore the creditor can pursue you or your husband for the sum outstanding and this is regardless of whether you spent the majority of that credit or not.

 

Your husband is clearly the bast**d and so you ought to try and encourage him to do the right thing and ask him to communicate with the creditor in order to try and resolve this matter by way of your husband's proposals to repay the debt. What are you going to defend with? If you defend when there is no defence to be raised you will incurr the claimant's legal costs in the recovery action being awarded against you that could amount to a minimum of an additional £3-£5k on top of the debt already owed!

 

You have used the card and therefore you have knowledge of the account, do you know what you are doing?

 

Kind regards

It was my card only. As we were married he used to the card on occasions. I moved to NZ for two years when I came back late last year I wasn't made aware by any statements or letters from Capital One that there was any monies outstanding. Ex is somewhere abroad ;-( No I really do not know what I am doing. I know I am clutching at straws in the hope that I have either been misold the C/Card in the first place (another new thing to come about lately) or Cap One have no signed agreement for the C/Card in the first place. I could offer some payment per month if all else fails and I would rather do that than run up more debt...ie) fees

Desperate to get this sorted though.

Hi Cheeky

 

For the moment, leave the issue of your ex to one side. Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold, not when you are in the midst of a stressfull action.

 

First of all, make sure you acknowledge service of the claim form. If this came from the Northamton Bulk Centre (as appears to be the case) you can do this electronically. The instructions and password are contained with the claim form.

 

Next you need to gather information about the credit agreement. S78 of the Consumer Credit Act used to be a way of getting a copy of the signed agreement. However, due to a court case in 2009 [Carey v HSBC] the law now allows creditors to reconstruct a credit agreement in response to a request under S78. Such a reconstuction of course will not contain the signature of the cardholder. Once a creditor starts a legal action though, he needs to produce a copy of the original signed agreement to prove his case [the Proof Purpose].

 

A copy of the credit agreement should have been attached to the claim form if the agreement is mentioned in the Particulars of Claim. Some 'clever' lawyers are now drafting Paticulars of Claim that don't actually mention the credit agreement, and then try to argue they don't have to produce a copy to bring the claim. That is why everyone needs to see the exact wording of the Particulars of Claim (less any identifying details such as the amount) that are in the form. Once the wording is availale, advice can be given as to the wording in your request for documents.

 

Doc

Arrow Global/MBNA - Discontinued and paid costs

HFO/Morgan Stanley (Barclays) - Discontinued and paid costs

HSBC - Discontinued and paid costs

Nationwide - Ran for cover of stay pending OFT case 3 yrs ago

RBS/Mint - Nothing for 4 yrs after S78 request
