    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.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. 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. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. 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. 6. 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. 7. 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 Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. 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. (insert date you did receive the documents) 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’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited 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 HHJ 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. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   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. 14. 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.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again 
    • Gosh mate I've woke up this morning with half the worry I had last night when going to sleep!.  I can't believe how much this forum has helped me over the years and I don't  have the words to explain the gratitude I feel towards you guys -  Now that I've slept on it I feel ready to reject this company and my plan is to make them an offer to accept payments to date as full and final settlement - I will I think write them a letter once my review is completed or maybe just send it now whilst they are reviewing explaining my kids are unwell for which reason I'm struggling to survive and if I can politely request for them to accept payment to date as a full and final - I'll mention I don't have any cash or anyone to borrow from to offer a full or even part amount of the remaining balance of the iva and therfore am unable to make a offer of payment.   If they agree to at least even put my offer to the creditors then I feel it's better I hang in there and that way I won't have to deal with any possibilities of more defaults and ccjs    Right now the only adverse effects on my credit report are the iva that is now 3 years old and 2 Ccj one coming of this July and one thus October.    But I am worried new action will begin and new defaults and Ccj may start to appear because I've paying into an agreement im under the impression the 6 year rules starts again so yes I have lost of mixed feelings about this but I'm not going to lie you guys have put some life back into my breath this week as for the last 3 years I've felt caged like an animal and this morning I feel freer I can't explain how much but certainly my soul feel lighter today thanks to yin because I'm now viewing this review totally different to I do yesterday thanks to you guys

    • 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.

You do need to find out a few facts before answering the court.

 

Right now you need to find out about the debt, if you go to the trust register and pay for a search for the CCJ, http://www.trustonline.org.uk/ It costs £4.

 

Once you have the CCJ number and country court it was obtained at you'll need to contact that court by phone/fax and request a copy of the judgement document and original claim form.

 

When you have that you have details of the debt/how much it is/who claimed from you.

 

S.

 

Edit: You can then make the informed decision on whether you need to apply to set aside the judgement as you didnt receive the original court claim or whether to continue to court and provide the court with an accurate I&E which WILL be severly scrutinised by both the opposing council and court.

Whatever advice we give, you MUST go to court as instructed or you will be held in contempt. This will mean a short prison sentence.

Ok. First, calm down. Get the number for the court and give them a ring and explain your circumstances/medical history. They will be able to advise better.

 

You can also speak to a solicitior who has the first session free. If you get to court early enough, you will be able to speak to a duty solicitor there who deals with this every day. However, the duty solicitor is first come first served, so ideally you need to be at court well in advance of the day.

 

 

Don't run and hide from this. You NEED to contact the court and find out the best course of action. If you bury your head in the sand, it will get worse. Remember, the court reps and solicitors are there to help you out. You just need to take the first step and call them.

Call them up and ask what you need to take in. Whatever happens, you MUST go to the court. All it is, is a question and answer session. Thats it. If you don't turn up without a very VERY good excuse, thats where the problems start.

 

 

As i said, call them up and see what a court rep says.

As has been stated you HAVE to attend otherwise things will cascade and get worse quickly.

 

If you are on benefits then there is a limit to what you can repay and the court will take this into account. So long as you are truthful the court should side with you, if you have a large wad of money stashed away (dont we all wish :)) then the court isnt likely to be pleased if the claimants have found out and reveal.

When do you have to go to court? What date?

 

Experts here - what options does tarisah have with getting representation - maybe from a charity? Or at least some face to face advice and moral support. Sounds like she could do with it.

At the court there is usually a duty solicitor who does a first come first serve representation. However, the OP is not actually going in front of a judge. He/she is just going for questioning to establish facts. However, because he/she has been called for questioning, they MUST turn up, otherwise a warrant for their arrest will be issued as they will be in contempt of court.

Since the OP is on benefits, they really have nothing to worry about. The maximum a court would order would be just under £4 a month. But since its simply a summons for questioning, chances are the court would look favourably on them.

The Purpose of an Order

 

The purpose of an Order to Obtain Information is to elicit sufficient information from the Judgment Debtor about their finances and personal circumstances to enable the Judgment Creditor to make an informed decision about the best way to enforce the judgment or, indeed, make a decision about whether enforcement is likely to be worthwhile.

The questioning is carried out either by a court officer or a judge.

 

If the questioning is carried out by a court officer then the Judgment Creditor or his representative may attend.

If the questioning is carried out by a judge, the Judgment Creditor or his representative must attend and conduct the questioning.

 

There are provisions for committal to prison of the Judgment Debtor for failure to attend but it should be noted that these provisions are rarely enforced and it is more usual for a judge or court officer to adjourn the matter to a later date and sometimes this may happen more than once as committal to prison is generally treated as a penalty of last resort.

 

Once the Judgment Debtor's financial situation is known, the Judgment Creditor will be able to make an informed decision as to which method of enforcement to use. In some circumstances, however, the Judgment Debtor's financial situation may be so precarious that the Judgment Creditor may make a decision not to enforce the judgment at all or make a decision not to enforce immediately.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Just remember, if the creditor sends a rep out, that rep will do anything and everything to settle out of court. Dont accept it if you have a 100% solid case to present to the judge. If you are doubting it, then you could accept his/her offer. Just make sure that it is not negative towards you, such as the rep saying you pay costs, or share costs.

 

If they go in, they will try anything and everything to pull one over on you or the judge.

 

Most of the time however, they dont bother to send a rep out, and when they do, its normally some junior rep who looks like he just left high school.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
