    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        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. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   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. 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.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 i need some help... first il outline this company, how they work, and what the present situation is.

 

i had some PDL's and fter christmas i was walking along the high street and i saw this new shop. i called in and asked how it worked. the stated they needed bank statement, prof of address, payslip, 5 references.

 

i explained i didnt have payslip as i was on day off, and would call back, they said its okay lets see your bank statement, and we will go from there. in filling the forms out they asked for 5 references, though they wanted to ring all 5.i explained i was happy for 2 calls but thats it. they then backed down and said ok, we will just ring the other 3 numbers to make sure the line rings.

 

i thought there is no way they will give loan as i had other pdl's on my statement. they came back to the desk an said they can give 50% of my wage. i took £500. i was working lots of ot , so could afford it.

 

Now with this shop their APR is around 59%, however they charge a brokerage fee, which brings the fee's in line with onlne PDL's.

 

i called in on Feb to pay the loan, but needed to reloan. they looked t my bank statement and i had earned more in feb they increased my limit, again without askign for a payslip. gullible me, i took more, now it was around £700. i paid that back, and paid 1 or 2 of th epter pdls, but reloaned a higher amount in march. around £800. i get paid in the middle of the month an towards the end, work had scrapped the ot, and i was somewhat uo creek street, so i called in 2 weeks, and avised them i couldnt repay in full in march. the woman seemed nice enough saying i should pay as much as i can. i said maybe £50, she said that will cover interest.

 

comes april i call in, pay £50. another member of staff came up, and bullied me into giving a figure to pay in may which was unrealistic, but i said aye so i could leave the shop. after this i decided i needed help and called PayPlan who have set up a DMP and have been paying them.

 

In April i got a letter saying i owed £1020.

 

ONce i defaulted in april i was harrassed for 3months by text messages, very few calls, but up to 5 textes a day. i tarted keeping some of them..

 

one of the messages was this:

 

No Payment has been recieved towards your balance, we will now be looking to contact your employers or references if you dont contact us today

 

another was:

 

a telephone message was left saying collection officers would call at my door if not paid.

 

anyway after a lot of arguinf the texts stopped. and they recently rejected the offer from payplan, though e continue to pay.

 

now i have recived letter stating i can have a fantastic 75% discount off, so i should pay £890 before end of august!!

 

now if that is 75% off, they have my balance on a loan of £800 at near £3600. consider the apr is 59%. the interest accrued from april on the £1020 is maybe £200-£250 so they have wacked on near £2000 of charges..........:-x

 

the letter they sent also stated this:

 

this is a 'clear the slate offer', the added benfits of paying are:

 

no more late charges/accrued interest

no home visit debt recovery company cost to you

no baliff costs to you

no adverse effect on credit rating

no legal fees

no more worry.

 

help!!!

should i go into the shop and ask for all information they have on me? you know my customer file????

 

thanks

an sorry for the long post.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

I'm sorry you haven't had any replies yet, it's probably because the site is quiet at weekends and of course there's a lot of sport on TV today.

 

I hope the guys will be along later with advice for you.

 

My best, HB

Sounds like you've run into a sc@m outfit. They know that they could never claim that amount in court and the charges are ficticious and there purely to give them more money. Thats why they gave you 75% off.

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..

Speedcredit are a diff company. If they are the same as minicredit, then you need to get in touch with the OFT.

 

Currently they are investigating Speedcredit, toothfairy, NDR, Marshall Hoares Bailiffs and one or two other companies, as they are the same company, the same people run them, but they all have separate licenses.

 

 

As for the name microcredit, i dont think its an actual name. More of a trading name they are using. Speedcredit is owned by MEM finance.

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..

Hi pigsmightfly80,

 

I would not go into the shop as they might talk you into things. I would instead write them a letter or email asking for a complete and full breakdown of your current debt with them. Once you have this post it here and we might then be able to advise on the next best steps...
