    • Received a final demand today Final demand.pdf
    • Here is my final draft: I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 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.   1.        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.   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.   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.   3.        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.   4.        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.   5.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020.   6.        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 Solicotors is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’   7.        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’.   8.        The claimant relies upon and exhibits 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 HH 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.   9.        Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not try to mislead the court.   10.   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. 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. Signed                 ………………………………………………….. Name                  XXXX Date                     30 April 2024

    • Hi folks, I've just found previous documentation. I thought it had gone missing. I'd forgotten that I did appeal it through POPLA but I can't find the thread on here that, I assume, I posted for help. Appeal letter is dated 27/10/2020 with a rejection. I genuinely had forgotten about this so apologies for misleading you. A lot has happened in the years since the ticket was issued. We closed down a couple of businesses and moved to the opposite end of the country to retire. The documents I have are scanned copies. I no longer have the originals. The NTK is also in there. If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know and I'll post them, although it probably won't be until tomorrow now, but I'll be looking in on this page tonight. Thank you for the responses so far
    • Hello! After emailing them I received this reply:   I have drafted the following, please would you be able to comment as to if you think it is correct/sufficient? "Thank you for your email.   Thanks you for confirming that the vehicle does not have these features as stated in the advertisement.    I am sure you are aware that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides the short term right to reject within 30 days. Statutory rights cannot be taken away from a consumer, and any attempt to do so is illegal.   Please can you advise how best to return the vehicle?" Thanks in advance!

    • 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.

Need a little help.

 

Yesterday received a county court form regarding a £300 T mobile debt.

 

Today received a county court form regarding a £2000 Halifax debt.

 

forgot all about the Tmobile one as I defaulted with a few months of the contract ending due to losing my job.

 

the Halifax one is for an overdraft. Both debts are at least 3 years old. Not heard anything from them for at least a year.

 

I don't deny the debt, just not in a position to pay them.

 

What do I do now? I'd be happy to settle them over time, but cant afford no more than £40 a month.

Hello.

 

I never received any letters before action.

 

I had letters saying doorstep collectors would call.

 

I will aknowledge the claim. The overdraft spiraled out of control. Most of the cost is charges.

 

The tmobile account only had a few month left. Forgot all about it until this weekend.

Hello Brigadier,

 

The particulars of claim on the Halifax say:

 

The claim is xxxx being monies owing to the claimant in respect of a credit agreement between halifax current account and the defendant under account number xxxxx.

The agreement was terminated as the defendant failed to maintain the agree terms. In accordance with the pre action protocols the claimant has attempted to contact the defendant and agree a payment plan.

The defendant has failed to respond or maintain a suitable arrangement. Halifax current account has sold and assigned all rights, title and interest, under this agreement to wescot SPV limted.

Then a statement about interest on the debt.

 

The one for Tmobile says

 

Part of the balance between Tmobile and the defendant for the supply of telecommunications services by Tmobile to the defendant number xxxxxxx the benefit of which was assigned to the claimant on xxxxx/2011.

The agreement was terminated by Tmobile upon the defendants failure to make payments under the contract.

The details about interest, the contact details.

One thing I have just noticed is the wording in the POC ''credit agreement between Halifax Current Account'' but I see it's in reagard

to an overdaraft.

 

Anyway as you say you want to pay the debts over time so here is a suggestion:

HMRC offer a Small Claims Mediation Service through which a debtor can negotiate

an agreement to pay the claim over a mutually agreed period of time.

 

This can be done face to face in you local County Court or (they way I use and recommend)

is by ''Telephone Appointment'' which is to use and understand.

 

An appointment is made with the creditor the mediator and the debtor, you will be phone by

the mediator who will tell you the procedure, the mediator phones the creditor who tells

the mediator what their claim is and he/she phones you back and explains the claim and

you can then suggest how much you can afford to pay and over how long.

 

IF the parties agree a ''consent order'' is made and put forward if the parties agree

to the terms the a ''Tomlin Order'' is made signed by both parties and sealed by the court.

 

This order ids binding on both parties all you need to do is set up a standing order for

the payments.

 

The benefit of this is NO COUNTY COURT JUDGEMENT IS MADE.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

Thanks for the advice I will see what the Halifax CCA request brings up.

 

I can remember using my Halifax debit card all day long once, every payment being authorized, then getting a letter 3 days latter saying I was getting 4 x£35 charges for my debit card as something took my over my overdraft limit. Main reason I switched accounts.

Had a letter from capquest regarding CCA request.

 

It saying that this come under the mobile telecommunications act rather than the consumer credit act.

 

It states that a copy of the contract would have been supplied to me in store.

 

This debt relate to an exclusive online deal, I have never set foot in a store.

 

Is there anything I can do to get evidence of this debt and charges?

Hi

 

I received a County Court form from Westcot regarding Halifax 1 or 2 years ago. It was just for bank charges that had made me overdrawn.

 

I sent in a defence and received a letter saying they were not going to continue with the claim but i still owed the money.

 

I believed at the time that it was another scare tactic.

 

I,m not saying this will happen for you but just letting you know.

Well I had a letter saying the debt to Halifax was being returned to them as the could not provide any evidence of the debt.

 

However I had had a letter saying the a judgment has been given against me.

 

So going to the CAB for advice now as the judgment is for almost £3000.

Hold on a sec.. who has written to you advising that the account has been returned to Halifax and who has written advising that a default Judgment has been awarded ?

 

Did you not submit a defence on time ?
