Remember, the claim will proceed anyway even if you don’t respond. If the claim goes against you, it will be very difficult to make a counter claim as you didn’t respond to the initial small claim.   You may be unaware that you are the defendant in a small claims case that a Creditor has bought against you. When the small claims form arrives follow these initial steps:   1: Read the Form Carefully   The detail about the claim that is being bought against you will be in the ‘particulars of claim’ section. If this section isn't completed, or has the words ‘particulars of claim to follow’ take no action now and wait until you are sent details of the claim against you. You may want to consult a lawyer at this stage.   2: Respond in Time   It’s vitally important that you respond to the claim for you have been sent. Remember that there is a 19 day (5 +14) time limit on this to acknowledge the claim.You must submit before the 19 days are up, so post your response with plenty of time.If your intention is to defend the claim in full you get a further 14 days to submit your response ...so 33 days in total.   3: Talk to the Claimant   Just because a small claim has been bought against you and a claim form issued, this doesn’t mean you are not allowed to contact the claimant directly. In fact the court encourages you to try and settle the claim without the need for a court appearance. So, try and resolve your dispute directly with the claimant if you can.   Not Responding to a Small Claim   If you ignore the small claims form when it arrives this can have an adverse impact on your financial status. The court will continue with the small claims lawsuit that is being bought against you even in your absence as this is a legal requirement. When the small claim is processed you will be sent a bill showing the amount you owe and any additional costs. The small claims against you is a legal process that will be recorded on the Register of Judgements, Orders and Fines. This information is used to check your credit, so could have a negative impact when you next apply for any credit. To avoid damaging your credit rating reply to your small claims docket as soon as you can.   How to Respond to Your Small Claims Form   When you received your form from the court you will also have been sent a response pack. In this pack you will see the option that are open to you. These include:   • A dispute claim form. You can use this form if you do not agree that you are liable for the small claim being bought against you and wish to submit a Defence. • Details about how to pay the amount being claimed from you. • Details about how to admit to part of the small claim against you, and how you can ask the claimant for more time to pay.   There are Two Types of Small Claims:   Fixed Amounts:   If the claim against you is for a fixed amount of money your response pack will contain three forms. Form N9 (acknowledgement of Service), form N9A (admission form) and N9B (defence and counterclaim form).   Unspecified Amounts:   If the amount being claimed is unspecified you will be sent forms N9 and N9C (admission form) and N9D (defence and counterclaim form). It is vital that you read the accompanying explanatory notes before choosing which form to send back.   Paying the Small Claim   If you want to make full payment of the amount being claimed against you this amount will be shown on the claim for you have been sent, and will also have details about where to send the money. Don’t forget, this must be done within the 14 day time limit or your case will proceed to the next stage.   In some instances you would like to pay, but need more time, you can give details about the delay you would like on form N9A, which should be in your response pack. It’s also a good idea to read leaflet EX309: The Defendant Admits by claim as this gives more details on this aspect of your case when fixed amounts of money are involved. Leaflet EX308 gives details of cases when unspecified amounts are being claimed against you.   Also please read forms EX326 and EX160A   How to Defend a Claim Against You   Disputed claims are handled by filling in the appropriate form from your response pack. You have three choices: Form N9, N9B or N9D. Read the note accompanying each form carefully to ensure you completely correctly. Pay special attention to the allegations raised on the form. If you don’t respond to each the court will assume you are admitting guilt.

    • 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.

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

You have now failed to supply me with a copy of the original signed agreement for the alleged “debt” you are trying to enforce. This request was sent on 18/08/2006 together with the statutory fee of £1.00.

 

I have given you more than enough time to supply the original signed agreement and you have now exceeded the allowed time. By not supplying the documentation I believe you have now committed a criminal act under the legislation contained within section 77 (1) and section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

You are reminded that you were obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, under section 189 of the CCA 1974.

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to Direct Legal & Collections.

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

I will therefore no longer be making payments against this "debt" as it is unenforceable. I now consider the matter closed and no further correspondence regarding payment will be entered into. If you persist on pursuing payment you will have left me no choice but to report this matter to Trading Standards

 

Additionally I require the removal of any defaults entered against my name. You have 14 days to comply and confirm in writing or I will apply to my local Sheriff Court for an order to enforce compliance, together with damages at the discretion of the court.

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

Gargoil

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am writing to complain about a company Direct Legal&Collections

, whose business address is Buckingham Road, Brackley, Northamptonshire, NN13 7DN. This company have been contacting me in order to recover a debt which I do not acknowledge to them.

 

On 18th August 2006 I wrote to Direct Legal&Collections requesting a copy of the original signed credit agreement in respect of an alleged debt this company had been contacting me about. This is my right under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 (s.77 (1) for fixed sum credit) I enclosed the statutory amount of £1 (by postal order) as payment fee, PO Serial Number 18500528.

 

Direct Legal&Collections are obliged to supply these documents, whether they are the original creditor or not under S189 of the CCA 1974.

 

I believe this company have now committed a criminal offence as they have failed to provide a copy of the original signed credit agreement and have been in default for more than one month since the initial 12 working days allowable under the above mentioned legislation expired.

 

A default has been recorded on my credit file in respect to this matter and I would like to have it removed as I believe it has been applied unlawfully. Also I believe that Direct Legal&Collections will continue to pursue me both by telephone and letter to repay this alleged debt.

 

Today I have written to them asking them to remove this default and to confirm to me that I owe them no money. I would like you to investigate this company regarding this matter and take action against them. I am of the opinion that they are unfit to hold a consumer credit license.

 

 

 

I have included a copy of the cca request sent to Direct Legal&Collections on 18/8 and also a copy of the complaint/ non compliance letter I have sent them today (5th September.)

 

Yours Faithfully

They are a seperate company from MBNA. They are a debt collection agency whom MBNA sell debt onto. Probably at a pittance of a price. They are also a pain in the arse but i am about to become a pain for them now!! :)

Well got a reply in from "Hillsden" who I think are dl&c, letter is also cc'd to TS. They have certainly backed off from the usual "Gie us the money or we'll send in the heavies!" tact. However I think the letter is computer generated. This makes me more determined to start court action against them. The letter...

 

Thank you for your letter dated 5th October 2006. This has been passed to me for attention. I regret our failure to respond more fully to your letter and apologise for the delay.

 

I would confirm and advise the following:-

 

1. I acknowledge the £1 payment in connection with your data requests. We are still awaiting a copy of your original signed agreement from MBNA, together with your state ment of account. When these are avilable they will be forwarded.

 

2.If we are unable to forward a copy of th eoriginal agreement, we will be able to supply a true copy of the document which will comply with section 78 of the CCA.

 

3.In view of the current dispute, and our inability to supply a copy of the document at this time, we shall ask the CRA's to suppress our entry pending resolution.

 

Should you require anythiong further at this point please contact me accordingly. I will update you on developments in 21 days if there are no developments beforehand.

 

Yours sincerely

DIrector & Data Controller

dl&c

 

I plan to write back saying I will be sticking to my own timetable etc, further emphasising the criminal aspect and asking what the "suppress our CRA entry" actually means as I think thisis just a fob of statement." I will quote an exact date for me putting in summons and may even quote some of the particulars of claim to him. feel as if I'm going in the right direction. Expected a more agressive responce from them.

As a side note they have 12 WORKING days (after which any debt is unenforcable) and then a further Month, (after which they are committing an offence). Then they can be reported to the Trading Standards office.

 

They've already had more than that!

If I were you I'd do this...

 

1)Make a token payment if you can afford too as the debt is still enforceable before the 12 days are up and would look like good reasonable behaviour from you in the future if you needed to go to court.

2)Once the 12 days are up you can stop paying as they are now in default. Do nothing at this time, if they write to you write back pointing out this fact.

3)If the default continues for 30 days or 1 calendar month they have then commited a criminal offence and you have various things you can do then including bringing in trading standards etc, but we can deal with that then.

 

If they do produce the CCA agreement before he total 12 working days and then 1 month you can ask them to accept a reduced monthly payment but I think it is best that you can pay as much as you can afford. Theres template letters in the "debt collection & bailiff" section.

 

I definately think it is a good idea to sendthe Data Protection Act S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to both dl&c and the original creditor and then you can use penalty charge sas the reason for account dispute. I don't think it is a good idea to use this method for debt avoidance. If anything it may give you a payment break for a shotwhile if you are short of money!

 

Also refuse to speak to them on the phone. If they persist in calling there are various letters on the forum to send them. You 'll probably find these if you do a search for "harrasment".

Sending out this letter to keep them on their toes...

 

Dear Sir,

In response to your letter dated 6th October 2006 and further to my initial letter of 5th October 2006. I would like to address the three bullet points that you made in your letter without acknowledging this debt to your company:-

1). You are reminded that under the legislation contained within section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 you are legally required to provide the requested documentation within a strict time limit You are also reminded that you were obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not, under section 189 of the CCA 1974. If you now produce this documentation I will still be proceeding with my court action as detailed in my initial letter due to your non-compliance detailed in this legislation. I will again draw your attention to the fact that By not supplying the documentation you may now have committed a criminal act.

2). You state that if you are unable to forward me a copy of the original agreement you will be able to supply a true copy of the document. Only a properly formatted and signed agreement will comply with the above mentioned legislation.

3).Can you please explain the meaning of your statement “suppress our entry”? Only a complete removal of this entry from my credit file will be acceptable to resolve this issue.

I inititially gave you 14 days from the date of my first letter. As a gesture of goodwill on my behalf I will now give you 14 days from the date of this letter to reflect and act as I have requested. Please let me reiterate only a complete removal of the default entered on my credit file and a confirmation that there is no balance owed will stop me proceeding to obtain a court order.

Yours faithfully,

gargoil

I think I may now DPA SAR them to find out how much I have paid to them as I think I may consider trying to claim this figure back. Has anyone filled out or drafted a particulars of claim for this type of action yet? I don't recall seeing any on the forum anywhere, it would be helpful to have one as a guideline for drafting my own.

Thats really good. At least there are quite a few of us at the same stage against these guys. Are you just seeking removal of default/ confirmation that account is settled or are you going to try and claim back monies paid?

I haven'tt CCA'd the original creditor, if the debt has been sold onto another company are they still liable to provide the original agreement?

I don't see what the point of them doing that would be so will worry about it if it happens. I think they are more likely to send through something like an unsigned agreement or a terms& conditions brochure or have some other piffly excuse.

 

Anyway DPA SAR drafted up to be poste dout to them tomorrow as I'm feeling a bit mor econfident about this now after doing some reading and may just try and get th emoney paid back from them! :)

I've already DPA SAR'd th eoriginal creditor. I think th ebest thing for me to do now is send them a s10/12 notice. Do you guys think this would be useful? I haven't as yet cca'd the original creditor but will probably do so soon.

Not heard anything from TS at all. Am also dealing with Lowell along the exact same timeline as DL&C. Have stolen some of the particulars of claims that Switch drafted in his AKtiv Kapital Thread for court papers. Had to change it as I'm in Scotland but have forms drafted up and ready to be printed. Am beginning to feel a bit out my depth as I don't have much free time to read as much as I would like to.

 

Particulars

1).The Defendant is pursuing the Pursuant for money for which the Claimant does not acknowledge is owed to them.

2).The Pursuant on the 18th August 2006 sent a letter to the Defendant (exhibit 1) requesting a true copy of the original agreement, a statement of account and a true copy of the deed of assignment under section 77 (1) and section 78 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended).

3).The Defendant acknowledged the Pursuants letter of 18th August 2006 on 24th August 2006 (exhibit 2) advising they would provide when they were in receipt of the requested information.

4).The Defendant failed to provide within the timeframe permitted by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended) any of the information requested. On the 5th October 2006 the Claimant wrote again to the Defendant (exhibit 3) advising the Defendant that they had exceeded the time permitted to respond as per the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended). The Claimant believes that the Defendant has committed a criminal offence under the terms of the Consumer Credit Act and forewarned the Defendant of legal action being taken against them.

5).The Defendant wrote to the Pursuant on 6th October 2006 again (exhibit 4) acknowledging the Claimants request made under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended) The Defendant advised that they were waiting on the requested information and would write back within 21 days with an update.

6).In view of the Defendants negative conduct to the Claimants requests and the extended timescales that have been allowed by the Claimant, the Claimant believes that the Defendant has no legal right to pursue the Claimant for monies which the Defendant is claiming.

7).The Defendant has registered a default dated 29th October 2005 with the Credit References Agencies for an account for which they are unable to provide evidence of ownership.

8).The Pursuant has not received a default notice or authorised the Defendant to process personal data to third parties.

9). Accordingly the Pursuant is seeking an Order that:

a) The Defendant stops processing the Pursuants personal data to third

parties

b) The Defendant removes all references between the Defendant and the

Pursuant from the Claimants credit file held at the Credit References Agencies.

c) The Defendant not be allowed to continue to pursue the alleged debt until the Defendant appears in court and explains why they are unable to produce any documentation for monies they are claiming the Pursuant owes to them.

d) The Claimant is litigant in person and claims for time spent in preparation at £5.35 per hour :-

Letters Written to Defendant £16.05 (3 hours)

Postage Costs £3.00

Draft Particulars of Claim £10.70 (2 hours)
