    • Honestly you are all amazing on this site, thank you so much for your help and time. ill keep an eye out and only return when i receive a claim letter for sure also, i updated my address with amex and tsb before i even missed payments. the initial address was my family home but i dont reside there. to avoid a bombardment of letters there i have now updated my address, will they send all threats etc to the new address? Or old address?   do you reccomend i send both tsb and amex my update in address via a letter?
    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 24/12/2022. 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 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.

My partner took out a money shop loan, he lost his job as the company relocated, on jobseekers.

 

Agreed to pay £5.00 every two weeks out of his jsa.

 

They asked him to take proof of income etc, incomes and outgoings, to the local shop, for them to copy the info and fax to head office, 10/05/2012.

 

The man in the shop said he would fax it in the morning11/05/2012.

 

My partner checked his bank account this morning and they had taken £25.00 twice, so £50.00 in total.

 

They have had £55.00 IN TOTAL THIS MONTH.

 

That was all the money we had in the world for the next two weeks.

 

Spoke to moneyshop, and got no help from the man on the phone, asked to speak to a superviser and he point blank said no.

 

He said we owe it and they have taken it, and they have every right basically.

 

Needless to say he got very upset.

 

I rang the financial ombuds who are firing a letter off to them.

 

He couldnt get a crisis loan as time ran out and they did not have time to sort anything.

 

They basically have stolen the money from my partners account,

and left us with nothing and I have a disabled adult and partner to support.

 

Any advice what to do next,

 

I cant believe how heartless this company is.

He needs to go to the bank and get it disputed. Then if the bank or money shop refuses to refund it, go to the local police and report it as theft. Get a crime number and the bank will be forced to refund the money. Since it is money that the government gave you, it should be relatively straight forward to get it back.

Gosh thankyou for a lightning quick answer!

 

Unfortunately the banks in our area are closed over the weekend and we cant afford to get anywhere else.

 

He spoke to the bank and they just told us it was our problem with the money shop.

 

They still had his card number.

 

Since then we have reported the card lost or stolen, and he will close that account at the branch on Monday.

 

Never again, and the man at moneyshop seriously enjoyed my partners distress.

 

It was appalling, and I cant attend work tomorrow as I cant afford to get there, and I dont get paid if I'm not there :(

 

Thankyou for your advice though, we shall have to take it further on Monday, after a walk of 3 miles.

Question, how was the amount paid?

Was it by visa card?

 

If so, phone the bank and tell them to start visa chargeback proceedings.

 

Also, make sure any and all CPA's on the bank account are cancelled.

 

Get on the phone and talk to the banks telephone team, and also get in touch with money shop by letter or email.

The £5.00 was paid by debit card and then he looked at his account and it said pos,

had to ring the bank to find out what is was, and it was moneyshop.

 

We have emailed the money shop and got a reply saying it takes up to 8 weeks for it to be investigated!

Nothing else.

 

He has cancelled the card now, well reported it stolen, so they have to give a totally new one,

but he will be moving his next payment to another account.

 

Hopefully they wont be able to access that.

 

The money shop knows he is on JSA, but they care not a jolt. you have been very kind x

Make sure you cancel the CPA. Then as soon as you can, speak to your local police as they have stolen money from you. Money that the government gave you to live on.

 

You NEED that crime number so you can force the bank to issue an immediate refund. If they do not refund the money then they are complicit with the PDL for theft.

Ok is the bank branch open on Saturday mornings?

 

What they have done is wrong and must be reported,

this is difficult to get round now if the banks don't open

in your area.

 

I have alerted the site team and one of our benefits experts

I hope will be able to help.

 

I can certainly over the weekend put together a formal complaint

for you.

I look forward to a formal complaint letter.

 

I'm not very good at this sort of thing but am learning.

 

If we had enough money then we would be able to get to an open branch, but we are miles from one.

 

I have not had anything to do with mp's, but this will undoubtedly happen to others on a regular basis.

 

I can't thank you enough for your help.

 

I will signpost anyone here who needs good quality advice from people who know what they are talking about!

there are three thngs to clairify that you must exhaust with your bank

via telephone banking line now.

 

firstly is chargeback.

 

many banks mis-interpret the chargeback rules

 

it is for them to refund within 24hrs, THEN do their investigations.

 

NOT the otherway around.

 

keep going up the chain until you get a resolution.

 

http://whatconsumer.co.uk/visa-debit-chargeback/

 

................................

 

We have been telling people to put a letter into their bank instructing them not to make any payments under any circumstances to these companie

http://whatconsumer.co.uk/visa-debit-chargeback/s - it works!

 

banks MUST follow written intructions from their customers !

This fsa guide has now been updated:

 

http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/consumer_...ghts_guide.pdf

 

Here's the text:

 

Cancelling a regular

card payment:

 

When you give your credit or debit card

details to a company and authorise

them to take regular payments from

your account, such as for a gym

membership or magazine subscription,

it is known as a ‘recurring transaction’

or ‘continuous payment authority’.

These are often confused with direct

debits, but do not offer the same

guarantee if the amount or date of the

payment changes.

In most cases, regular payments can

be cancelled by telling the company

taking the payments. However, you

have the right to cancel them directly

with your bank or card issuer by telling

it that you have stopped permission for

the payments. Your bank or card issuer

must then stop them – it has no right to

insist that you agree this first with the

company taking the payments.

Be aware, though, that you will still be

responsible for paying any money that

you owe.

 

.............................. lastly

 

You should submit any first right of appropriation ideally 7 days in advance of each deposit expected; in this case that was not possible to do because you were unaware the credit was in its way so you should certainly plead to their better nature to return the credits on the grounds of hardship.

 

 

JSA took four months to process? Horrendous time to wait. Why was this? If the delay was not as a result of waiting for documentation/additional information from you and is entirely their doing, you may be able to claim a payment from them as a result of their maladministration. If you have suffered financially as a result of their maladministration, they may well pay not only a consolitaty payment but your bank charges in addition. Mention that they have paid into your account when you specifically asked them not to, and provide your bank statements as evidence of the hardship caused, and of the charges.

 

 

This however does little to alleviate the immediate issue; you can either set up a new account which doesn't allow charges such as a basic bank account or a post office card account (not clear whether the second account is yours or a third party), or ask that your JSA is paid by sending you a postal girocheque which you can then cash at the post office.

 

 

If you have no funds whatsoever to meet your immediate needs, apply for a crisis loan as an alignment to benefit.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi and thankyou.

So you are saying we are within our rights to ask the bank to refund the money, by telephone, when they said earlier that they cannot help us? Which is what we are going to try again in a moment? It's awful being this desperate. Speaking to you takes away some of the anxiety ......

You are 100% within your rights. Especially since the money is state benefits.

Dont give in to what they say. Let them know that if they refuse to refund or start chargeback proceedings for the state benefits, then you will be considering legal action as the bank is now complicit in theft. Also tell the rep that you require their full name and employee ID as you will be calling them to court as a witness. This is usually enough to scare them into doing what you want, or to escalate it to a manager.

Well that never worked, said we will have to take it up with the Company, again! Twice in one day told the wrong thing. My partner asked that they may speak to me and that he was giving permission for them to talk to me and she refused????Another dead end

They have no right to insist you take it up with the company. If you used a visa card, they MUST refer you to the visa team. Since it is also state benefits, they are required to refund the money asap. If your partner tells the bank that you are now an authroised thrid party that is dealing with your financial affairs, then the bank cannot refuse to ignore that.

 

Question. What bank are you with, and what type of debit card does your partner hold?

 

Next time you call them, DEMAND to be put through to a senior manager immediately. Do not let a minimum wage front desk rep tell you what is happening.

Well rang again, passed from piller to pillar! Bank given us another number but it's not open till Monday, so no hope of getting any money back for the weekend. Three times have spoken to the bank today seriously none of them know about giving our money back, and then investigating! Training issues?

Thanks guys for your help. My partner also explained that he has communication difficulties and would they talk to me, nope!

Actually you are in the right. Theyre digging themselves a very deep hole. You need to contact the vank and speak to the visa team. Then start chargeback proceedings with them. Make sure you tell them that the money was state benefits and you want them returned immediately..
