    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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.

    • 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.

Car, I've just glimpsed at your thread.....I know what I'll be reading today! Is it significant that Nat West has not yet put a DN on the account? I've just had a threatening letter and I'm sure a DN can't be far behind! Thanks again! Cx

 

Overdrafts ARE covered by CCA, just the rules are a little different.

 

Yes and one of the things that is differently, usually, is the lack of a requirement for a Default Notice - most overdrafts are terminated using a Termination Notice, which is the agreed process entered in to when the overdraft was taken out.

 

More explained in that link in my sig and throughout my thread, link above.

Hi Car see you gave detention to the " unenforcable cases on hold" thread after the post up or shut up advice have posted info on Professorgbr's thread "mbna application form" After looking round i realise with some shock sending a tampered with CCA under afidavit is the norm and not something new . I was niave enough to believe that justice was for all and even large organisations were subject to it and the law of this land .:( seems not . Any Professorgbr has a case in the manchester test case circus on the 30th the wording used seems to indicate it is as much to do with handling larger number of cases of the same type ie no signed cca's in one go and if a afidavit [as we all know how honest they are ] will suffice in place of an agreement is this the case ?

i found i had an overdraft that had never been aggreed nor asked for in fact i made it plain and simple with the back at the time i do not require an overdraft...when in reallity the banks terminated my account on the wednesday and payed out cheques on the friday same week....ive been paying cccs for over four years,and i stopped paying them two months ago ? reason for stopping payment i asked them to provide all paperwork and statements of how much i had paid...nothing was forthcoming so hence i stopped paying them

where do i stand here

Most likely they will say that the overdraft agreement was entered in to tacidly, (spelling?) which is one of their ways of saying you agreed by behaviour rather than asking/signing something. :rolleyes:

 

They most likely will also say that the cheques were pre-processed (delayed in processing) so were considered while the account was running. Double :rolleyes::rolleyes:

 

The key is, did they give you the T&C's or provide them when you signed up or send them shortly afterwards - if they didn't, they didn't comply with the OFT s.74 Determination and the agreement will be unenforceable as a result.

 

Is there a thread, Partick?

Overdrafts ARE covered by CCA, just the rules are a little different.
Overdrafts are covered/explained in the following OFT document (...from A.128 I think?) 'The legal and regulatory framework behind personal current accounts'...

Speaking of overdrafts, what if a charge card debt was added to an overdraft (by chargecard, this is credit that needs to be paid in full monthly) thus putting it over its authorised credit zone limit, but it then transpires that the chargecard (which I've been told by Nwest is CCA regulated agreement) was unenforceable as it did not comply with the Act. Would there then be an argument that the chargecard debt shouldn't have been added to the O/d at all?

 

I'm not convinced, (because I haven't actually seen the agreement, and not sure if one ever even existed, although they should of course have provided one for me to sign before giving us the card) that the card is completely regulated, which is what Nwest are saying, but it will be at least partially regulated because it had a cash withdrawal facility.

 

I think they just gave us the card, because they don't seem to have any paperwork relating to it. Also, without statements for the card, I don't see how they can prove that the amounts they added to the o/d were accurate either.

 

I'm asking all of this as Nwest have taken us to court for this debt and currently defending it.

 

I do have a thread, but just wanted to ask this query specifically relating to the chargecard agreement to see if anyone could shed any light.

 

Many thanks for any help/advice,

Hi MAGDA,

 

The following links goes some way to explain the difference between a Charge Card, a Credit Card + a Debit Card...

 

Charge Card

 

Credit Card

 

Debit Card

 

...Given that the info in the above links are 100% correct, it would imply that the 'Charge Card' in question forms part of a Credit Token Agreement...

 

Acceptance of Credit Tokens

 

 

Btw...I recently attended County Court where Natwest successfully obtained a Final Charging Order to secure amalgamated Personal Loan, Credit Card + O/D debts.

Unfortunately, I wasn't involved so as to be able to remind the defendant of questioning the possibile unenforceability of any component parts of Natwest's Claim until after the debts had previously been admitted to.

This was done at an earlier part defended hearing, where penalty bank charges formed a successful counter claim, thus negating the total amount allegedly owed.

 

Further arguments brought to the fore about the legalities of the composite agreements were dismissed outright by the DJ, despite Natwest still NOT complying with a previous direction for standard disclosure by the time that the Final hearing was held.

The DJ took the view that as bank statements that were produced showed that attributable monies had been regularly debited from the defendants current account, then they would have initally received the benefits of the good offered by Natwest + therefore Natwest were quite entitled to secure previously unsecured debts which had been defaulted upon.

 

In hindsight, an application to strike could have been made a condition of the failure to comply with the CPR Part 31, however the defended case was in the Fast Track + therefore subject to claims for substantial costs.

The fact that final costs of only approx £200 were awarded in what had become an unwinnable position spoke realms of the defendants individual fortitude when U consider that they had started fighting Natwest several years before CAG had even been dreamt of and had had to pick up the pieces themselves when a solicitor they had initially engaged went bankrupt before the 1st ever hearing.

It ended up an extremely good result all things considered.

 

The following recent High Court Case should serve as a reminder to peeps who may be relying too heavily on a properly executed Credit Agreement ever coming to light before SoLA becomes applicable, even after the Original Creditors have indicated that they do NOT possess one...

 

McGuffick v The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc [2009] EWHC 2386 (Comm) (06 October 2009)

Hi Milktrayman, yes, many thanks for the above links, will have a look at them. I had heard of the McGuffick case as someone recently lost in court when the judge brought that particular judgement up (saving the claimant's barrister from having to do his job) even though it was totally irrelevant in that particular case.

 

Nwest have issued a claim for around £18,000 (overdraft) and a huge chunk of that is made up of a charge card debt. The breakdown for the amounts charged each month didn't actually show on my bank statements, just the total amount debited, so I think Nwest should have to prove these amounts by providing the statements relevant to the charge card, as well as those for the current account (which I now have) and also any agreement that may exist, otherwise there is no proof that they are correct or justified. I do have other arguments for my defence, but just looking at ways to cast doubt on the charge card part of the debt, if I can do that.

 

£200 costs in the case you quote was a really good result wasn't it, I've been told by Nwest to expect in the region of £10,000, so not so good. How it can cost them that much, I really don't know.

 

Thanks for your help, Magda

One other question, if anyone can help, also being taken to court at the moment by Cabot. The accounts were in dispute and suddenly received court papers. I have got a thread, but just wondered if anyone knows the answer to this: Cabot has purchased two accounts, one ex MBNA credit card, the other was a loan with Hitachi Nova (DFS) so completely separate companies and totally unrelated. However, Cabot has lumped the two together as one claim, no breakdown of individual amounts on their POC (although I know what they claim the amounts are) just a total figure being claimed. Can they do this? where two agreements are entirely separate, lump them together as one claim. In effect, when I do the defence I will be defending two entirely separate claims with entirely different issues, even though they are lumped together as one. If it gets as far as court, then it is going to make it a lot more complicated at any hearing.

 

Many thanks, Magda

Hi Magda

 

My thinking is that you can get the claim set aside on grounds that it is falsely premised. Judges hate this cavalier approach to using their resources. If you get the judge on side he/she will be hopping mad at this sort of presumptious behaviour.

Thanks EIE, that's something worth looking at. I know that sometimes a credit card and overdraft are lumped together on a claim if it's for the same company (say for example Lloyds TSB bank) but these are completely unrelated and they don't even specify the individual amounts of each alleged debt.

I disagree. Magda allegedly owes the money to one company, the company that purchased the debt. The fact that the total debt was purchased from two separate companies, I doubt is relevant. If they were taking action on behalf of those separate companies, then you might be right, but (presumably) Cabot are taking action on their own behalf.

The general defence of falsely premised is a good one because it allows you to attack from all angles when the judge asks why you think it is falsely premised. You start by demolishing their particulars of claim, move forward to questions of en forceable agreement and then finish with the UTCCRs. By the time you've done that you'll have the opposition solicitor begging for mercy. And remember that since it is falsely premised, they have vexatiously brought claim and should bear their own costs.

Keep the faith. EiE.

Fair point animal magic, but then Magda is entitled to have properly detailed particulars of claim. Why would they conflate the two and is that not cause for challenging the veracity of the claim. It should be borne in mind that I have successfully challenged the entire claim in these circumstances. However it should also be borne in mind by Magda that this means nothing in her case.

Hi Animalmagic and EIE, thanks for the replies. I have asked Cabot for a copy of the actual Assignment, but totally ignored. Now going to send cpr 18 and ask for everything relating to these claims. I do have the agreements for both - MBNA Unenforceable (although not according to Cabot) and the Hitachi one has various flaws I can probably play on. I think they should at least have stated the individual amounts on their POC for each account, because it's very vague as it stands.

 

thanks again, Magda

Can't remember CPR ref, but it does say they should supply agreement with POC. In my recent case, this mattered little, nor did the fact the 'agreement' was not legible. The judge gave them an extra 6 weeks to come up with information that I have repeatedly requested over the last 4 years... :mad:

Many thanks both, that doesn't surprise me AM, I know what these judges can be like, most of the time the claimant seems to get away with murder. Thanks for the Link EIE, much appreciated. Cabot seem a bit desperate at the moment, think they are looking to recover some money on all the unenforceable debts they've purchased.:rolleyes:

I also believe that Cabot have made it difficult for themselves by lumping the two together. This will give you more options to discredit what they say and play on your strongest defense which appears to be the unenforceable one.

I'm thinking that is the case with mine. They went for summary judgement and a few days before the hearing sent me a letter offering 75% discount.

 

I suspect the DCAs maybe have got wind of changes coming and are trying to collect what they can. Am I too much of an optimist?

Yes, that's true, they will have to put forward arguments as to why both claims are valid and not just lump the whole lot toegether as they have on their POC, so as you say, thay may be to my advantage.

No, don't think you are being too much of an optimist. From what I've read on other threads, Cabot are on very sticky ground. Who was your Cabot debt originally with, AM?

Mine's not Cabot, it's 1st Crud.

 

I issued the CPR letter and they came up with an illegible application form from back in the 80's, but no default notice, accounts or anything like that. They claim in their evidence the CD Rom had 'worn out', so they can't retrieve the records, yet apparently they 'know' I made a payment into the account in Nov 2002. Strange, since I have records dating from 1999 and this account doesn't appear anywhere. Thing is I am 95% certain that that agreement was terminated in early 90s, so I don't know how they got hold of it...! Scary how the data protection act doesn't protect you...

 

They claim the account was taken over by A&L in 2002, and produce as 'evidence' a page from an internet site saying A&L took over Chase Manhattan cards in 2002, but I am 100% certain our Chase Manhattan card was taken over by another provider back in late 80s and subsequently returned. Getting the evidence of this is a bit problematic as it's so long ago...

Mine's not Cabot, it's 1st Crud.

 

I issued the CPR letter and they came up with an illegible application form from back in the 80's, but no default notice, accounts or anything like that. They claim in their evidence the CD Rom had 'worn out', so they can't retrieve the records, yet apparently they 'know' I made a payment into the account in Nov 2002. Strange, since I have records dating from 1999 and this account doesn't appear anywhere. Thing is I am 95% certain that that agreement was terminated in early 90s, so I don't know how they got hold of it...! Scary how the data protection act doesn't protect you...

 

They claim the account was taken over by A&L in 2002, and produce as 'evidence' a page from an internet site saying A&L took over Chase Manhattan cards in 2002, but I am 100% certain our Chase Manhattan card was taken over by another provider back in late 80s and subsequently returned. Getting the evidence of this is a bit problematic as it's so long ago...

 

Sounds like a typical DCA. Seems as though you have more than enough ammunition on your side to make a mockery of 1 crud's claim anyway. They just never know when to give up. Cabot wrote to us around nine months ago stating that the o/s balance was £8-9,000ish, but now it has suddenly risen to over £15,000. Wonder how that can have happened....
