    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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 jjand bump

 

This is quite normal and it would be best if your read through http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/ to get acquainted with what your friend should expect.

 

Barclays will not be refunding any new claims so you need to carry on and get the claim to court (don't use MCOL, file straight at local county court).

3 Active Claims:

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Sole account) - Applied to lift court ordered Stay

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) - Awaiting court date

Barclays Refund of Bank Charges (Joint account) Pre-6 yrs- LBA sent.

 

 

3 Wins :

Barclays t/a The Woolwich (Data Protection Act breach costs & compliance)

HSBC (on behalf of brother)

Settled Out of Court - £3,874.76

Alliance & Leicester (on behalf of friend)

Settled Out of Court - £723.41

I am confused about this test case i got a letter from barclays saying that they are not investigating any claims until the outset of the test case, but i have read through and it seems people are still going to court, This site is now so hudge its like finding a needle in a hay stackt o find out what it actulally means.

 

i know this information is on here but i do not understand what it means.

 

Any one that could tell me in black and white would be appreciated.

jjandbump,

 

check the main general board, ignore what the banks say & read what bankfodder has to say on this matter - my understanding of what I read is that AS the credit card companies have already agreed & in the past implemented the changes on charges as applied to credit cards i.e. only charge £12 you are free to claim back anything over that amount.

 

Would a Moderator please clarify this if I am wrong?

 

Regards

I know that this information is probably on here 100000 times, but so many threads and posts are being added i cant find out:

 

Where do we stand at this moment in time with re-claims?????

 

I read that the stays expired the last day of test case, but what happens from here, what is happening.

 

Its alll very confusing i wondered if someone could post on here the facts, but not sure who to ask.

 

thanks

just a quick thought i had....if the oft win, and banks have to pay all charges back, full stop, no questions asked. would the banks be able to front this huge cost, or would some (smaller) banks end up with serious financial problems? and if so what kind of an impact would this have?

:D

I really need some help, i am having so many problems with Barclays bank,

I had a woolwich account in 2007, then it was switched to a barclays account.

 

I have just got my credit file and barclays and it has a default running from 2007, for £356.00. I didnt have an overdraft on the account and i am stuck, there are over £400 charges on the final statement, and i know that they were refunded.

 

Also i got a major repayment of charges from woolwich which would have wiped this out.

 

I am totally stuck and all i keep getting is "we have sent our final responce" i have sent in a SAR it was signed for on the 27.04.2012 and this has been confirmed (post room have recieved it) and then they have Lost it. so have to do that again to.

 

If anyone else has been in a simular situation your assistance would be sooo appreciated, this default could cost me a mortgage application, when i have been offered a £100k discount for a quick sale. and its really going to cost me!!

 

suggestions, help, advice. PLEASE xx

I had the same situation - had an account with The Woolwich which had never gone OD

and to the best of my knowledge never incurred any charges, either.

 

The month after it switched to Barclays, I got walloped with around £600 in charges,

which they agreed to refund as it was "an administration error caused by the switching process".

 

I then went on a three month merry-go-round of them refunding the charges then taking them back the next month, effectively wiping out 3/4 of my wage.

 

In the end, I switched bank accounts and told them to refund everything and close the account as they had admitted their error by refunding them the three previous months.

 

Complete silence ensued for two years, when completely out of the blue I got a letter from a DCA saying that I owed Barclay's £900.

 

I sent them back a prove it letter, didn't receive any response whatsoever and they promptly sold the debt on.

 

Every few months, I repeat the process with a new DCA, although I haven't heard anything for a while now I think about it.

 

What surprises me in this case is that it shows on your CRA file

- mine never has, even when the account was active, which allows me the luxury of completely ignoring them.

 

You could always request a notice of correction on your credit file

- I'm not entirely sure how much attention lenders pay to them,

though and they may ask for documentary proof that the debt has either been settled or is an error.

 

I fully sympathise for what it's worth

- once the Woolwich/Barclay's changeover was completed,

I was constantly fobbed off by Barclay's telling me that they couldn't see anything to do with my old Woolwich account

and that the Barclay's account was effectively a "clean slate" as I had a new account number and sort code.

 

Not such a clean slate that I couldn't run up £600 worth of charges on an account that I had never used, apparently...:|

Be careful Hun, if its an error try and ensure its sorted prior to you needing it clear! I have never got my credit file before and was shocked! Barclays don't want to help at all? One man did say they will not help anymore or send anymore letters as they are to busy with ppi claims!
