    • 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.

    • AMEX and TSB the 2 Creditors who you need to worry about the least, ever!  Just stop paying them and forget about it, ignore all their threat o gram letters.  Only if, and with these 2 it's a massive if, you end up with a claim form you need to respond, and there will be plenty of help here.
    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.  
    • Always send with proof of posting from your Post Office, so there is a trail. Conversations , are designed to intimidate into paying, Emails are designed as another way of bombarding. Only EVER communicate in writing, by post.

    • 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.

hi everyone i have really reached rock bottom on this, im so worried about it all i dont know where to turn and this is yet another sleepless night 3rd this week

 

basicaly it all started with some motoring offences back in 2003

no insurance, attended court and took my penaltys in the form of points and fines

i was on benefits at the time so payments were being regularly made direct from my money

anyway long story short i sperated from my parnter and moved out to a flat on my own got a part time job and the money didnt stretch to paying rent and bills i did have help from housing benefit but i wasonly earning £92 per week and every single penny was accounted for

so needless to say the court fines didnt get paid they send a few letters which i filed under sort later, but like most i never got around to sorting it, i just didnt have a single penny left to offer them, so i ignored and ignored until recently i received a letter from MARSTON saying they are going to force entry in the way of a lock smith and take my possessions

my court fines were approx £1000 and not marston has added there bits its now £1396

 

i dont know what to do. if i can borrow the the original £1000 court fine money and pay it off and can i avoid paying the extra £396 and the courts leave me alone

 

if not

can i offer to pay £100 per week taking 14 weeks to clear the debt, even though they state they want full payment only, and there website says they do not allow payment arrangmets

 

i cannot stress how ill and depressed i am over this, and the lack of sleep isnt helping at all but i dont want to bore you all with it as im sure you have read it all before countless times

i know its my fault for ignoring it all i put my hands up and accept i did wrong but at the time it seemed the easiest way out

 

please please help me

i cant afford to move house finnacialy to avoid them and i also know it will only get worse

i havent contacted either the courts or the baliffs yet

 

what do/can i do please help!!

Welcome to the site,I see that you are still here so still not sleeping.

If you could just answer some questions,I am sure others will be here to advise you a little later on.

 

1.When did you last make a payment.?

 

2.Have you moved address since or else had any notices from the Court prior to Marstons ?

 

3.How was the Marstons letter delivered to you and what date ?

 

4.Can you confirm that this is the only letter from Marstons ?

 

5,What is your financial position now-are you on any benefits ?

 

6.Are you currently getting any treatment for illnesses ?

 

7.is the letter giving the name of the bailiff ?

 

 

If you could answer these questions please.

You have no doubt been reading some threads and guidance here-keep doors and windows locked and dont answer the door to them.

Remove anything of value from sheds or outhouses and garden.

 

As I say there will be someone here to add more later-at this hour most of our members are sleeping-and you should try to do the same.

Try not to worry-you will get some good help here,not just consoling words-but importantly help with getting things sorted.

hi and thank you in advance.

 

last payment would have been made approx 15 months ago

 

i havent moved since, and have had notices in past previous to this

 

marstons letter was deliverd via post 2nd class and was posted on the 14/10/2011

 

i believe there was a letter previous to this one, but i cannot find it anywere so im not 100% sure

 

im currenty still working part time(iwork with disabled children), and i receive housing benefit help

i regularly receive treatments with regards to crohens disease, i used to be on anti depressants but stopped taking them as side effects were bad and didnt agree with me

 

no name of baliff on letter

the letter basicaly says, you have failed to pay the outstanding amount shown above registerd against you

then goes on to say they have court authority to remove goods from my premises and impose fees and charges

and i now need to settle the balancein full IMMEDIATELY with marston or they will attend my address to remove goods

and that i should be aware that the amount is in relation to a warrant issued by her majestys court service or her majistys revenues and customs

then goes on to tell me the differnt ways i can pay.

 

and yes im still awake!! but so damn tired.. but just cant get this out of my head long enough to fall asleep

ok i bit the bullet and called them, i thought i have nothing to loose and atleast if i call and they wasnt very helpfull then i atleast knew roughly how long i had toget all my stuff out of my house before they came, but surprisingly they were very understandable

i offerd to pay a lump sum today and 8 individual payments every week

which they accepted

i asked her to put it in writing but she said until i make the first lump sum today they cant do anything on there system

is it advisable to pay this lump sum today based on the phonecall or will they default on there side once they receive the payment?

 

i will be happy when its sorted so i can get back to living

actully there going to want that payment today for sure, if i ask them to email me the payment arrangment, would that be enough evidence if they debunk on there side of the agreement?

Hi Jade I’m not up on motoring offences but sit tight and the cavalry will be along soon to help you sort this out Above all try not to worry this really is a great site with lots of very good people

 

thanks shinysheen, i contacted the courts and it turns out it was for several offeences that had all been squashed together, im gutted i have to fork out money but in all fairness i owe it so it has to be paid, and if im being honest im just really glad its finaly being dealt with

 

i just need to know that if i make the payment today will they leave me alone and stick to the agreement. its in there best interest if they want to recover the monies owed really. so i dont see why they would debunk on it. my only concern is that i have read so many bad stories regarding these people that i dont think any actions they take would surprise me now.

do you know if i can requst an email confirmation regarding the payment scheme ? once i get some kind of form of evidence regarding this i will make the first payment to them

I would just hang on a little-for a response from our senior members.

Is there an actual breakdown of what they are demanding ?

If the original fine was £1000 where is the £395 coming from ?

Can you confirm that this letter was sent by post / posted by hand through your door ?

 

Your illnesses class you as vulnerable,and you are also on low income.

Therefore in that regard it may be possible to get an agreement made which gives an extended period for repayment.

This would reduce the payments to an amount that you will be able to afford.
