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.

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,

I tried to cancel a recurring payment with Santander yesterday. I was told it would take up to 24hours. I telephoned at 11.08am yesterday and at 3.42am this morning the payment left my account. I have telephoned santander and soke to 3 people, 2 of them managers who have refused to refund the payment. I have been told that i can't dispute this until after 1st September:?::mad2: I quoted .55 & .61 of Payment regulations 2009 only to be told that if that is the case then Santander is not in line with these regulations??? I have just had a quick google and found Santander are quoting you can not cancel a recurring payment?

 

USEFUL INFORMATION

 

 

Recurring Transactions

A recurring transaction is a regular payment (other than a direct debit or standing order) collected from your credit card account by a supplier of goods or services (such as a magazine subscription), in line with your instructions. Recurring transactions are not covered by the Direct Debit Guarantee. If you wish to cancel a recurring transaction that is paid with your Santander Cards Mastercard, you must do this directly with the supplier. We recommend you keep proof of cancellation. It may not be possible to cancel payments if you do not give enough notice of your decision to cancel.

 

Recurring transactions do not operate like a Direct Debit so Santander Cards are unable to cancel them or stop them being applied to your account.

I do not have enough posts to include the link

The Payment Services Regulations 2009, regulation 55 (4) states:

 

“The payer may withdraw its consent to the execution of a series of payment transactions at any time with the effect that any future payment transactions are not regarded as authorised.”

 

This fsa guide has now been updated: http://www.fsa.gov.uk/pubs/consumer_info/know_your_rights_guide.pdf

 

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.

Hi, Thanks for the help :)

 

I am no further forward with Santander :x I have spent nearly 4hours on the phone in the last 2 days and tbh feel completely drained by the whole thing. I printed off the FSA leaflet "know your rights" and also the payment services regulations but the branch manager refused to even look at them, instead insisting they were following Santander policies and procedures.

I found Santanders policy on recurring card payments and also just noticed it has been quoted earlier on in the thread. This is what it says..

 

7.7.2 If you are stopping a recurring debit card transaction (that is,

a continuous payment transaction on your debit card initiated

by a payee and authorising us to make payments) you must

also tell the payee. You should provide us with a copy of any

notice of withdrawal of consent given to the payee. We will

stop the payment provided that we receive notice from you

no later than close of business on the working day prior to the

date the payment was due to be made

 

Therefore if a payment was asked for at 3.42am on the 29/8/12 then the working day prior to that would be 28/8/12. I asked for the payment to be stopped by by phone records during the call started at 10.18am. This means i should be entitled to a refund?? Is this how other people understand this? Please tell me if what i am saying is wrong as i would appreciate some advice :)

 

What really annoys me is the lack of knowledge all of Santanders staff have. I have dealt with such ignorant staff who have not even been willing to take into consideration what i have said. I have been passed round in a circle 3 times by so called managers who have insulted me at every point. Santander even denied me making the call on Tuesday morning, this was the fraud department who denied there was a phone record. I had to phone the department i spoke to just to get confirmation of the record. Some fraud team huh?

 

I am getting pretty desperate for this money back now and have had to cancel another payment due to it which will no doubt incur me charges. I have a meeting with the bank manager tomorrow at 12.30 but she has already said she can[t do anything for me. I only got the meeting time as sh wanted me out of the door because it was 5.10pm lol .

Santander are akin to certain American banks where they seem to think they are above UK law and are not bound by the terms of their FSA registration. I personally have had a run-in with them via the ICO and it cost them financially albeit not as much as it should have.

 

You must complain to the FSA for Santanders blatant disregard of the FSA itself.

You really must stay off the phone and get this on paper - you need proof that they have said they will not cancel.

 

Is that that statement in post 174 on their website ?

  • 4 weeks later...

I have had a recent run in with Santander in relation to my partners account

 

The letter below will indicate the ins and outsAfter receiving the below letter her account was quickly credited with 4 over £400.00 in charges and all amounts relating to relating to the continuous payment authority amounts removed from her account since April of this year.I have not posted the transcript of the conversation her if any on want sight of it leave a message.

 

She has not yet received a written explanation of the reason for the refund nor confirmation that issues regarding training of staff has been improved, when this is recived we will give further consideration to a formal complaint to the FSA.

 

The Manager

Santander

9 Nelson Street

Bradford

BD1 SAN&

 

 

Dear Sir/ Madam

 

In I believe March of this year to reduce charges been levied on my account I attended my local branch of Santander in ********* ******, and provided instructions for all direct debits and standing orders to be cancelled.

 

This instruction was carried out as requested, on checking the following months balance after paying for commitments manually I found I had once again exceeded my planned overdraft, again considering that this was not possible I attended the same branch and requested a reason for this.

 

After speaking to the teller I was advised that two payments had been taken from my account these relating to an American company and a UK based company I then asked for these payments to be cancelled, it was explained that these two payments were nether Standing Orders or Direct Debits and were very difficult to cancel, needless to say I again requested that these charges from my account should stop.I was then provided with the following advice from the teller, “the only way to ensure that charges like these stop would be to report your card lost stolen or damaged they will then not be able to take any payment from them”.

 

I considered this advice coming directly from Santandare, and reported my card lost at the branch, the teller accepting this report despite taking details from my card to access my account moments earlier.After a short time I received my new debit card and pin number, considering that both payments would now stop.I have not monitored my bank account as closely as normal for the past couple of months, considering that no payments that are made direct by me should leave my account.

 

After receiving a resent statement, I became aware that a payment of £14.99 was still been removed from my account despite incurring fees amounting to over £55.00Today I contacted Santander by telephone and inquired as to why this charge was still been removed from my account.

 

At this time I was told by your staff that this payment was made under a continuous payment authority I then asked why this could not be cancelled and in a nut shell was told that this was not possible, the only way to cancel this would be for me to contact the merchant associated with the payment, I was then asked if I had contacted **** **** to which my response was by e mail.

 

The remainder of the conversation with your employee stating that the advise I had been given by the branch was incorrect and only the merchant could cancel this agreement.

 

I am able to provide a recording off the conversation that took place together with a typed transcript of the conversation together with the time and date if you are in any doubt as to the content of the conversation that took place. This should not be required as you should have your own recording of the conversation that took place as you state that conversations are recorded for clarity and training purpose.

 

After been provided with details of the type of paymentI summarise the following;A continuous payment authority is an agreement you make with a retailer, lender or other firm providing you with a service a merchant in your jargon).

 

You give the merchant permission to take money from a credit card or a debit card. Even though the debit card money comes out of your current account it is NOT a direct debit – it is a continuous payment authority.

 

The agreement can be made over the phone and it allows the merchant to take money in the future off your card.

 

You normally have no control over the amount that is taken or when – it can be any amount at any time. Prior to 2009 it has been very difficult to stop these types of payment, only when the merchant stopped taking them. Prior to 2009 If you went to your bank or card company it would say that it could do nothing and advise you to contact the merchant to stop the payment.

 

If the merchant refused the bank or card provider would continue to allow the merchant to take your money.I should not need to point out to you, on 1 November 2009 when a new law came into force.

 

It is in the Payment Services Regulations 2009. It makes it clear that your bank or card provider has to stop the payments if you ask it to do so even if the merchant refuses to cancel it or even if you have not told the merchant to stop taking payments.You will also be aware If the bank or card provider does not obey your instructions then it has to refund any subsequent payment it allows to be taken from your account.

 

And if a subsequent payment causes you to incur any fees – such as an overdraft charge or a late payment fee – or to lose any interest, then those losses have to be refunded too.I therefore consider that in line with the above statement I attended a branch of Santand are on a date in April and requested that all continuous payment authority’s relating to *** *** no longer be paid, this instruction not been obeyed.

 

Furthermore after today’s telephone conversation it is perfectly clear that this information is not available to your employees and as a result in April 2012 and again today, you had a duty to treat me fairly and provide me information which was clear, fair and not misleading.When I asked for a payment to be cancel. You failed to explain my rights correctly thus preventing me from taking the correct action at the right time.In view of this matter I consider;I gave you a clear instruction to cancel all payments to **** ***** in April 2012.

 

At this time misleading information was provided this same misleading information provided August 2012, this resulting in further payment been made to **** **** against my wishes.I draw your attention to your statement Transmission, 28 April 2012 12.00-12.30 BBC RADIO 4 SANTANDER STATEMENT: “We are aware that there have been instances when Customers have contacted us to request a cancellation of a continuous payment authority on their account and they’ve been asked to contact the company they are paying”.

 

“As a result, staff across the business have received guidance about Financial Services Authority regulations pertaining to continuous payment authoritie”.I therefore consider that I am in titled to a full refund of all payments made to **** **** since April 2012.In addition to these payments I am entitled to any charges added to my account relating to these payments.

 

In addition to this I CONSIDER THIS LETTER to provide further confirmation of April’s request that no further payments be made to **** **** from my account.I would further recommend that all customer facing staff be brought up to date with current legislation regarding payments of this type, enabling them to provide correct information to your customers.

 

I look forward to confirmation of the credit of my account with the payments detailed above. Yours Sincerely
