    • 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.

Hi,

 

I've been having a nightmare with welcome finance for ages now, with ICO and FOS, still not alot happening.

 

Anyway long story short,

 

Got into differculty in 2009 as alot of us did when the banks system crashed, was late with some payment and ended up getting my loan re-written any paid the reduce rate for a while only to be informed that they had re-written it as they agreed and they ended defaulting me.

 

Welcome have admitted that they failed to follow the correct procedure when dealing with the default, registered on my credit file the same date as the notice was issued and that the outstanding balance they are reporting is incorrect. They have told me that they'll amend the registered date and correct the outstanding balance three time now and still not be actioned over six months after the first time they said they'd do it.

 

So I'd like to issue a section 10 notice on the bases that they are reporting incorrect info to the CCA's however none of the letters I've found on here fit to my circustance's.

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction, or help me tailor one to my needs.

 

And yes I have every intention of taking the gits to court to enforce it, think I've got a fairly good case as they've admitted their errors just done sod all about it.

 

In advance thanks for all you help much appreciated

Basically a section 10 notice needs ;

 

1.To outline the reason why processing/sharing of your data should cease,giving any info about adverse affects it will have on you if it is continued.

 

2.Give a reasonable timeframe for the cessation to be actioned.

 

3.Addressed to the Data Controller.

 

 

There is further guidance under technical on the ICO website.

 

You should take into account any further processing/sharing that may need performing in the course of dealing with unresolved issues.

IE- you cant expect a s10 to be accepted and implimented while they are dealing with a SAR or CC request.

Forgot to ask-have Welcome put this in writing ?

Also have you kept copies of letters to them ?

The Credit reference is also liable too.

You need to be contacting them and informing them.

I think also you should be filing a complaint with the ICO-but they would want some evidence of you trying to get it sorted.

Copies of any letters should do the trick.

Thanks, complaint ongoing with the ICO and FOS about this and all there rubbish,

 

Am I right in thinking that you can use a section 10 to stop certain action, like reporting data to third parties?

Link to post
Share on other sites

Yes a section 10 notice prevents all processing/sharing and reporting.

If you are getting nowhere with the regulators then you could fire off a s10 notice giving them 10 days,and also a 14 day lba advising if they dont comply you will be seeking a Court order for compliance.

The way I would do it is issue a small claims action asking for compensation for breach of the DPA at the Courts discretion,with an order that they cease processing.

The LBA would need to go to their registered office.

The s10 the same-but addressed to the Data controller or compliance manager.

  • 1 month later...

Right were do I start, I’ll jot everything down to start with and then ask for help at the end.

Well in 2008 I got made redundant twice and as a result had difficulty meeting my financial commitments, I struggled for as long as possible but after a while things became difficult.

So during 2009 I ended up stopping paying Welcome Finance my payments, after a while I contacted them to offer a token payment, which they refused unless I went through a recognised debt management company.

In August they contacted me and offered to rewrite my agreement, I declined as it was unaffordable.

In September 2009 they contacted me again and reoffered to rewrite to debt in effect for 25% of the previous payment, so I agreed and made the payments for 3 months.

December 2009 after my third payment they tell me I need to sign paperwork for rewrite and ask me to make an appointment to complete the required paperwork, I agree an appointment for the Next Saturday.

At either 4:45pm or 5:45pm they leave a message on my answer phone telling me that if I do not confirm my appointment in the next 15 minutes, they will not rewrite my agreement. Well as so as I got off the tube and received the message, I tried to call my branch and the customer services number. No answer at my branch and customer services were unable to help all Friday evening and weekend.

Monday called my branch to be informed that the rewrite was not formal until paperwork signed and Welcome stopped rewriting loans late on the Friday so I was required to revert to my previous repayments.

Anyway I filed a formal complaint a few days later, and heard nothing until mid January 2010, spoke to an area manager, who agreed to rewrite the loan, I asked him to put something in writing and again heard nothing.

I tried to get answers from customer services a number of times but got nothing.

Filed a complaint with the FOS, about the agreed rewrite being withdrawn after I believed it had been started.

April/May 2010, I carried out a credit check on my files and found a default notice against me from Welcome Finance, on approximately the same date the Area Manager agreed to rewrite my debt in January 2010, I immediately contact Welcome Finance, who referred me to a debt collection agency, who I contact and agreed a reduce settlement figure, I requested that my default be removed and all agreed, ask for this in writing which they sent out.

Once I received this I contacted them explained that I had a complaint about this running with the FOS and they advised that I should wait for the FOS to respond and they agreed to hold the offer

Anyway in December 2010 I received the FOS 1st review, completely rejected my complaint. I then wrote to the debt agency and re-instated my offer and followed up a few weeks later, to be informed that Welcome Finance had put my account on hold.

A few days later a new debt collection agency contacted me apparently the debt had been transferred to them now and they had specific instructions not to accept settlement offers.

Any during December I had issued a SAR and CCA request to welcome and question the information they had reported to the CRA’s.

Anyway it transpired that Welcome finance had register the default notice with the CRA’s the same day they issued the default to me.

Anyway went back to the FOS.

Today the FOS have come back to me with a letter offering settlement.

  • They agree that Welcome should not have continued adding interest to my account after informing me and FOS that interest was frozen, and Welcome have agreed to wipe interest and pay £50 D&I.
  • They agree that Welcome should not have registered the default the same day as the notice was issued, but that it should remain as is, as the correct procedure would not have made a difference as I did not settle.
  • Do not believe that there is any evidence that Welcome agreed to rewrite my debt, even though I provided evidence of payments.
  • Do not believe that Welcome did anything wrong when then transferred my account from a company who had agreed a reduced settlement to another company.

Now sorry I have provided the FOS with evidence of offer to debt collect agency, and stated that I never received the default notice as I had recently moved as stated on my credit reports. So I have evidenced that if I had the chance I would have resolved the issue before the default was registered.

My question is Welcome Finance and the FOS have agreed that the correct procedures were not followed when applying the default to my credit files, doesn’t this make the default invalid and what can I do to get it removed from my credit file. Any examples of similar case’s that I can evidence to the FOS and Welcome to get the default removed.

Please any help would really be appreciated as this has been dragging on and I’ve just had enough.

Thanks to all in advance

Please correct me if I am wrong, as I see it the FOS is saying although the correct procedures

were no used to record the default the have ruled that the default would have been placed

anyway so it makes no difference?

You can appeal the FOS decision,apart from that I can see no other way,.

You would need to submit all the information again, and highlight the particular

parts of the response you want to challenge.

No I understand that and have declined the offer made.

 

My argument is that it is more than plausible that Welcome Finance did not issue the default notice considering they have acknowledged that they failed to follow the correct proceedures and even if they did issue the default notice I had recently moved address. I have demonstrated by contacting Welcome Finance and their shy management company and making an offer to settle as soon as I became aware of the default, that had I received to default notice with I would have made attempts to resolve the issue within the permitted time and the default notice would never have been added to my credit files.

 

What I am after is some evidence with regards to the processing of default notices and registration with CRA's which would deem the invalid and mean they must be removed, to add weight to my argument.

 

Anything that would help would be greatly appreciated, thank you

The validity of the DN hangs on the dates and the time allowed for the debtor

to remedy the default, if they don't comply the DN is invalid, or if the default is recorded before

the debtor has received the DN, so you have the argument for removal in your thread above.

A formal complaint back to FOS statement that the default should remain, which I believe is unfair

to say the least.

Perhaps you would be able ton appeal the FOS decision that the default should stay that seems

to fly in the face of fairness if nothing else.

I am not familiar with rhe process to appeal the decision.

So i'll bump the post for others to advise.

Hi

Can`t answer specific points but hope this helps. FOS have given their final assesment on my default (bank charges). The "service" rarely overturns defaults and my experience is that they will go to any length to uphold one. If you can prove the correct procedure wasn`t followed you would have a good case in court if you can get representation. From 1st adjudication to final took 18 months so I would certainly refer your complaint back as soon as possible.

 

One piece of good news, there is a case which has just been heard (verdict pending as I write) which covers a large chunk of your issues. Search the forum for Brandon v Amex.

 

Very best of luck to you

URGENT HELP REQUIRED

 

I appreciate that I am leaving this estreamley late, as today is the 5th and FOS have given me until the 7th to accept their final decision on my complaint. However my father has recently passed away and as a result I have not given this matter any attention at all while dealing with his affairs.

 

My initial view is that the FOS final decision is flawed and that the default / debit as is, is unenforceable, but I would appreciate some further guidance on this.

 

I wish to get an explanation of the legal implications of this decision by the FOS, some guidance on whether to accept the decision or whether to continue to challenge the legality of the default notice issued (specially considering the ombudsmans comments regarding the legality of the default notice) and the likely hood of having the adverse credit history removed from my credit file.

 

Welcome Finance has acknowledged to the FOS that they failed to follow the proper procedure set out in the Consumer Credit Act when defaulting the account. They issued default notice and registered the default with the credit agencies all on the same day. Furthermore, internal notes supplied to the FOS would indicate that the account was also terminated on the same day as the default notice being issued, however I would like this clarifying.

*

The FOS have warned me that if I don’t accept the final decision Welcome would be able to add the interest they have not been adding immediately which would considerable increase my outstanding debt, to a little less than £5,000 which does concern me, however I can’t see how this is possible as Welcome have told me that the account has been frozen since December 2009.

*

I wish to bring this whole affair to an end as quickly as possible, but my key aims are:-

• Not to pay more than the £2706.00 that the FOS says is fair, and ideally less.

• Completely remove the adverse credit history against me.

*

I would be willing to pay the full amount outstanding, however this is not completely possible at this immediate time. However would be possible in the next few months as my father left a small amount of money to each of his children.

*

In the past I have made a number of offers to pay 50% and 66% as full and final settlement, however while my complaint has been ongoing Welcome Finance have completely ignored all offers even though they have been put through the various debit collection agencies they have been using at that point of time.

*

Can anyone help me, my view is that default is unenforceable at this stage as Welcome failed to follow the correct procedures when terminating the account, defaulting me and registering the default with the credit reference agencies.

*

I would like some assistance in putting a letter together to the FOS to decline their decision, a letter to welcome explaining why the default is invalid, quoting court cases and requesting that they remove the invalid default from my credit reports, and a letter to issue to the DCA’s explaining why they are unable to chase me for the debit without a court order.

*

I will attached the letter from the FOS, the notes the FOS supplied me showing account termination and a copy of the default notice, I have hundreds of other pages of documentation which I will happily attach if required.

 

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
