    • why waste money on scammers? all you need in law is to prove something was sent. use a 2nd class stamp and get free proof of posting from any po counter. dx  
    • Tracked is NOT necessary. 1st or 2nd class will suffice. Just make sure you obtain free proof of posting and KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE...
    • I've given it a try, I expect alot of work required so will give my eyes and brain a rest as I'm getting word blind.. and I'll come back later following your initial bashings Thanks 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. 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 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. 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. 4. The Claimant claims a Notice of Assignment was served on the 22/02/2022. This is denied. 5. The Claimant claims a Default Notice was served on the defendant. This is denied. 6. 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. 7. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. 8. Point 3 is noted and denied. 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. 9. Point 5 is noted and disputed. 10. 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. 11. Point 11 is noted and disputed. 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. 12. 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 *** (dates are wrong) 13. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 14. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. Conclusion 15. 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. 16. 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 17. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter into settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter into 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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 was made redundant before christmas and have built up a bill of £348.00

they have passed it onto DLC and they are not demanding i pay £1348.00 to end my contract with orange or they would accept £348.00 payment and would wave the remaining £1000

 

Now my problem is i am out of work, only on JSA which covers all my rent, food, gas and electric and then i have nothing left after, i cant get housing benefit due to it being my partners mothers house and its mortgaged so im in abit of bother about the above.

 

I have not yet contacted DLC but my offer of repayment is £5.00 a month until i return to work then i will up it to at least £20 a month to get these idiots off my case.

 

I have read numerous threads about DLC not budging to accept a payment of £5.00 a month but others day by law they need to accept installaments even if it was £1.00 a month

 

need some advice please

 

thanks

A court would not order you to pay more than

you can reasonably afford without causing hardship

and if that is £1 pcm so be it.

It means that if i pay the £348 they will wave the £1000 and continue my contract with Orange but i am with vodafone at the moment who i am happy with.

 

here is the email they sent back to me after i told them my situation and how orange treaten me as a customer and how they did not want to help me.

 

Before the bills built up they said i could temporary freeze my contract for 6 months but did not tell me it had to be at £0 so when i paid £100 of a £120 bill few days before the next was produced they told me it would have to be at £0 to put the contract on hold before i could ask my partner for £20 to put the balance at £0 they generated another stupid bill

 

here is the email

 

Thank you for your email.

Our client has informed us that the balance of £1364.92 is broken down by airtime charges of £281.22 which you were billed for and £1055.58 contract charges as you are liable for the full term of the contract.

An admin fee of £28.12 has also been applied to the account.

We note our clients terms and conditions Section 3.1 states – “We cannot guarantee a continuous fault free service.”

The terms and conditions also state that the quality and availability of their services can be affected by factors outside their control such as local physical obstructions, atmospheric conditions, the features or functionality of the device or the number of people trying to use the network at the same time as well as other factors. The service may also not be at its best inside buildings or below ground.

We note you would like to make payments of £5.00 per month and in order to justify this we require details of your income and expenditure.

Please complete and return the attached form within 7 days.

These amounts seem horrendous.

 

Have you seen invoices from Orange for all these amounts and do they look correct?

 

I would contact Orange to tell them that you will only deal with them and then only for amounts that have been invoiced and agreed.

 

These contract termination charges are dodgy anyway - if they took you to court they could only claim their losses, which does not include expected profit or usage.

 

They would have to show that they have done their best to minimise these.

 

I suspect that you don't have an invoice from Orange for their contract charges and won't get one for those very reasons. I know that my son didn't get an invoice and when pushed, Orange dropped their demands.

 

I would tell DLC o get stuffed and that you will only deal with Orange.

Downside of not paying your mobile bill is they will trash your credit file and set the wolves... um... debt colevtors after you. As 2G said, it rarely goes to court, as they're on dodgy ground. If you can stand ignoring the DCA it is a valid tactic IMO.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

they are saying payment of £308 would cover what i owe them then i would be re connected to there service but yet i sent the phones back to them and said i wanted out due to the lack of service they provided to me.

 

i offered £5 a month to them and they are being awkard

 

here is there last email

 

Thank you for your emails.

We appreciate your comments however we do require justification of your payment offer and are able to request this from you.

Our client informs us that a letter was sent to you advising that if the file was passed to a debt collection agency an admin fee may be applied.

To reconnect and continue with your contract the airtime and admin fees must be cleared which total 309.34 however we understand you do not wish to do so meaning the full balance is payable.

Unless otherwise instructed by our client the balance of £1364.92 remains correct and due.

They aren't offering a discount. They are saying that if the outstanding amount is paid, Orange will reconnect so that the rest of the contract can run (which will cost in the region of a grand) otherwise they will collect the outstanding amount plus their dodgy contract charge.

 

The amount they are claiming for the contract charges (as well as the outstanding amount / monthly bill) seems incredible.

well i told them i dont want to be reconnected the service is poor since it was integrated with t mobile my calls and texts never used to work, i used to get texts off friends days later the internet was poor so that was another reason why i stopped paying it and went to Vodafone who i have been with for over 6 months with no problems whats so ever.

 

I will pay the debt but in my own pace with my own offer i don't like debt and this is the only debt i have i just simply had enough of the crap with Orange

 

they accepted my offer of £5 a month but they said they will review it after 6 months and i told them straight i said if i want to pay £5 a month for longer than 6 months then i will otherwise you will get £1 a month

 

anyhow i set up a standing order last night

 

hopefully will keep them off my case
