    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business CEntre Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio i Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue –  15 Feb 2024 Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?  The claim is for the sum of £922 due by the Defendant under and agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a Capital One account with an account reference of [number with 16 digits] The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit ACt 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 16-06-23, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of the issue of these proceedings in the sum of £49.15 The Claimant claims the sum of £972 What is the total value of the claim? £1112 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I dont know the details of the PAPDC to know if it was pursuant to paragraph 3, but I did receive a Letter of Claim with a questionaire/form to fill. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? no Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Assigned/purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I was aware, I'm not certain I received a 'Notice of Assignment' from Capital One but may have been informed the account had been sold without such a title on the letter? Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not since the debt purchase, and not from Capital One. Why did you cease payments? I can't remember - it was the tail end of the pandemic and I may not have had enough income to keep up payments - I am self-employed and work in the event industry - at that time. I also had a bank account that didn't allow direct debits and may have just forgotten payments and became annoyed at fines for late payments. What was the date of your last payment? Appears to be 20/4/2022 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No Here is my Defence: Defence - 1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had an agreement with Capital One but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unaware of having been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) 5. The Defendant has sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request. 6. A further request has been made via CPR 31.14 to the Claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The Claimant has not complied and to date nothing has been received. 7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and; b) show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed for and; c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 CCA1974 d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim 8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed 9. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of section 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief. .................. Please note that I had to write a defence quite quickly as I hit the deadline. At the time of writing the defence, I hadn't been able to find correspondence from Capital One, but had since found default letter etc. I submitted CCA request and CPR 31.14. However, I didn't get any proof of postage or use registered post for the CPR (an oversight) but did with the CCA request. I received a pack which included a letter from Overdales, going over the defence I'd filed, as well as letters of Lowells and reprints of letters from Capital One. But I have no idea if this pack is in response to the CCA request or the CPR ! I would have expected two separate responses ... although I do know they are both the same company. Looking over the pack today, and looking through old emails .. I find some discrepancies in the Capital One default letters (notice of default and Claim of default). They are both dated *before* an email I have stating that a default can be avoided. The one single page of agreement sent (so not the full agreement) has a 16 digit number at the top in small print, next to 'Capital One' which corresponds to a number called 'PURN' printed at the top of each of the 10 pages of ins and outs of the account (they're not official statements, but a list of monthly goings) yet no mention anywhere on either of the account number. I cant really scan them at the moment - I can later tomorrow, but that will be after the mediation call I'm sure. I guess I may be on my own for this mediation ... I am not certain the CCA request has been satisfied .. or if the CPR has been . And then I appear to have evidence that the Default notices provided are fabricated ? Yet, I do have (elsewhere ... not at home) Default letters from Capital One I can check ..

    • 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 all,

 

I went back through all my old statements dating from December 2002 and telephoned customer services to request copy statements dating from May 2000 to December 2002. Charged £5 and received today.

 

I've written my preliminary approach for repayment letter today to post this afternoon recorded signed for. Will wait with baited breath!

 

On the telephone I did just ask for a list of charges with notes of any manual intervention but got fobbed off with the statements. Had poorly bairn who chose that moment to wake up from her nap, so got a bit flustered. I hope this is okay?

 

Total amount claiming for from September 2001 to July 2005 is £630.

Update!!

 

Got a standard reply letter from Andrew Walton (cust relations advisor):-

 

"We are sorry you have had to contact us about the level of service you have received from Barclays. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to do so.

 

We are looking into your concerns and will let you have an answer or update as quickly as possible, but no later than 10 May 2006. In the meantime if you wish to discuss this matter further please call us on 0845 609 0806.

 

I have enclosed a leaflet explaining how Barclays works to resolve complaints. I hope you find this useful.

 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention." !!!!!!!

 

Well Mr Walton, I won't be waiting until the 10th May to have a response off you as I will be sending you a letter before action on the 21st April.

 

Regarding the offer of contacting them to discuss the matter, should I? I assume it is just put in there to be polite? Should I ring and advise them that I won't be waiting until the 10th May and when their deadline is or just leave it?

 

Thanks!

Apologies if this has been posted in the wrong place and has been asked before (looked high and low and couldn't find it!), but just a quick question regarding the litigation section.

 

Could anyone advise me what the difference is between cases that have been concluded and those that say settled? I am assuming that settled means the customer has been successful in claiming their charges back, but am stumped as to what concluded means.

 

Thanks!

Letter received from Barclays yesterday apologising for the delay in replying (they had said they would get back to me by 10th May) saying that they are continuing their investigations and will contact me again by 8th June.

 

Although their 14 days post LBA are up, I am just waiting for some cash to file a claim against them. Should be able to do it next week I hope.

Well I filed a claim on Tuesday for Barclays. Now I'll just have to wait and see what they decide to do, pretty sure what it will be, but you never know!

 

I've not sent back that letter yet as I need OH to scan it in for me, so will get that posted this weekend I think.

Blimey, Barclays are a bit quick! Filed my claim on the 18th, deemed to have been served on the 23rd (yesterday!) and received an acknowledgement of service in the post today!!

 

They have indicated that they intend to defend all of the claim and it is signed by Nicholas Hartigan yesterday. Now to await their defence, should be good for a laugh!! They have until the 20th June.

Received my Allocation Questionnaire on 21st June and was given until the 8th July to return it. Been on holiday and poorly so have sorted it out this evening.

 

It is pretty much word for word as most of the other recent defences, apart from section 1 which reads:-

 

"It is admitted that the Claimant has an account, number xxxxx, sort code xxxx. To the extent it is alleged that the Claimant incurred bank charges on her account for unauthorised borrowings (whether unpaid fees for returning cheques, paid referral fees or any other such fees), it is admitted that such charges were debited from the Claimants account however, the defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof."

 

 

In section G I have written the following:-

 

"As the Defendant puts me to strict proof of each charge and the date thereof, I have enclosed a list detailing this information of 1 page. If the Judge requires copy statements from Barclays, I am able to supply these also. Please note, this information was sent to me by Barclays in April 2006 (X pages [haven't counted them yet!]) when I telephoned to request a list of charges with notes of any manual intervention."

 

I will telephone Keith Jeremiah tomorrow to advise him that I will be submitting my questionnaire if we are unable to reach an agreeable conclusion using the wording from Section A as an introduction. I will mention at the start of the call that it is without prejudice. The reason I am going to do this is my partner has successfully negotiated with him recently and received settlement on his Monument claim, although the dialogue was instigated by My Jeremiah who telephoned him to ask him if he had any comments on the letter offering full settlement (his only concern was the confidentiality clause which Mr Jeremiah agreed could just be manually deleted from the form and returned signed).

 

If anyone is aware of anything else I should include in Section G, I would be grateful if you could let me know!!

 

Thanks!

Just to update, I got a form through from the Courts yesterday and they have ordered a stay on my case!!! They say it is to allow the Elliot vs Lloyds case to be heard but that was settled out of court several weeks ago now. Also they have ordered a stay to allow us to negotiate further and try to reach a settlement. I have already tried this and Barclays don't want to budge an inch!!

 

It seems though that I am not the only one who has had their case stayed pending the outcome of the Elliot case AFTER it has been settled, so its not just the judge in Bradford who is a bit slow on the uptake. Ah well, I shall ring the courts on Monday or take a wander down to find out what is going on and try and get it sorted out. I think I will give Keith Jeremiah a ring as well as we are being asked to try and settle the matter prior to court and see what he has to say. My OH successfully negotiated full settlement without any confidentiality clauses with him a few weeks ago, so I can always mention that (though doubt he will discuss it seeing as its not my case, data protection and all that).

He/she's going to inform the court that the Elliot case has been settled.

 

That should hopefully sort it.

Hopefully!! Though the other guy who this has happened with that I know about has tried speaking to the courts with no success. See the end of this thread. Its in the Lloyds forum, but the bank is RBS. I've PM'ed him to find out what he is up to now, as Bankfodder who was providing advice is away until August. I will see what the courts have to say and reassess as necessary. If people could keep an eye on this thread on Monday just in case I need some advice on what to do next would be good!

Okay, so I phoned the Court this morning and was advised to write to the judge to request that the stay be removed. I will hand deliver my letter this afternoon to try and speed up the process. I have also telephoned Mr Jeremiah to request contact to try and negotiate an agreeable settlement. It went onto answermachine so i left a message. Wonder when he will call? I was feeling dead nervous when I was dialling and so was really disappointed that he did not answer. Now I will wait it out I guess. I have attached my letter that I have drafted partly using Bankfodder's wonderful letter. I have had to amend it a bit as it does not mention the fact that the Elliot case has been settled.

 

I am writing to you in relation to the letter I received dated 18th July 2006 in which you have ordered that my case with Barclays Bank Plc be stayed pending the decision in the Elliot v Lloyds TSB case which had been transferred to the Mercantile Court. You have also ordered that my claim be stayed until 14th September 2006 to enable both parties to attempt settlement.

 

I respectfully request that these stays be removed for two reasons.

 

Firstly, the case you have referred to was settled several weeks ago pre-Court with Lloyds TSB agreeing to pay the full outstanding amount to the Elliot family, therefore I believe it is no longer relevant to my case.

 

Secondly, whilst I will continue to attempt to reach an agreeable settlement with Barclays, I have so far been unsuccessful. I have made numerous attempts to enter into meaningful dialogue with the Bank who continue to refuse to negotiate. Whilst I have received an offer of partial settlement as a gesture of goodwill, there has been no admittance of liability or any offers of the full amount outstanding.

 

Further, I understand that there are many similar cases, litigating on the same issue of contractual penalties. However the Court may be unaware that not one of these has so far gone to a hearing. Whilst the Banks are filing defences, they are regularly settling pre-hearing. In many other cases, the defendant Banks are even receiving default judgements against them which are being set aside on application by the Bank and which are subsequently being settled prior to a Court hearing. In two cases, the Court has even ordered standard disclosure against the defendant Banks but those Banks have gone on to settle rather than reveal the details of its contractual penalties. I believe that I will not reach an adequate agreement with Barclays relating to this case until a date for a hearing is announced.

 

Also, every one of the cases settled so far has presented an opportunity to settle the common issue of contractual penalties. Despite their massive resources and access to high level expertise the defendants have declined to allow the issue to be decided. By agreeing to remove the stay and ordering a Court date, my case would also present another opportunity for the question to be definitively settled as should the defendants lose, they have the resources to continue the matter through the appeals process and through the Court hierarchy.

In the alternativeif the Court decides not to accede to my request to remove the stay I respectfully request that the court issues the following injunctions:

  • That the defendant bank is prevented from applying further penalty charges to my account until the final settlement of the matter.
  • That the defendant is prevented from applying interest charges to any outstanding amounts which are comprised of penalties until the settlement of the matter.
  • That the defendant is prevented from closing my account.
  • That the defendant is prevented from making any entry on its own systems or from communicating any similar information to any third party about any matter insofar as it relates to penalty charges until the final settlement of the matter.
  • That the defendant remove any derogatory entry on its own records insofar as it relates to penalty charges. (The Court has the power to do this under the Data Protection Act 1998).
  • That the defendant arranges the removal of entries from the records of any third parties to whom it has previously communicated information insofar as it relates to penalty charges. (The Court has the power to do this under the Data protection Act 1998).
  • That these injunctions remain in place until the settlement of my claim.
  • That should my claim proceed to a hearing that a decision should be made at the hearing as to whether these injunctions should be made permanent.
  • That if the matter should not proceed to a hearing because the defendant decides to settle outside court, that these injunctions should become permanent.

Thank you for taking the time to consider the above requests and I look forward to hearing from the Court in due course.

Well, I handed the letter into the Courts this afternoon, so shall wait with baited breath. There was no mention of having to pay £35 either, so I didn't bother. It may hold things up if they request it, but I can't afford to be offering it out if not necessary!!
