    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. 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 written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 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. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be 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 it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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 wonder if someone can help. I stupidly had a loan with Lending stream and had tried on several occasions to set up a repayment plan with them. I sent them several letters stating that I was revoking any right for them to take payment by means of CPA. Anyway they raided my bank account and my lovely bank (HBOS) authorised payments of over £500.00 so it took me well over my overdraft. I wrote to my bank about it, no reply. I wrote again, no reply. I sent a final letter on Saturday asking them to start chargeback process as I did not want these payment going through my account, I have never authorised this amount. I state on the letter I do not wish to be contacted by telephone as I can not answe my mobile at work. I receive a voicemail from my mobile asking me to contact them. I can't, they open 9-5 I work 9-5, they close for lunch 12.30/1.30 I'm on lunch 12.45-1.30.

 

What chances do I have of getting my money back, they at charging me £100.00 per month in bank charges for these payments even though I had no money in my account to

Pay them. Why did my bank pay them when there was no available money? In the past they have sent me a letter stating that they couldn't pay something then gave me. Bank charge this time they let the payments go through then charged me for being over drawn!

 

I hope someone can help.

 

Thanks

 

Ps sorry for any typos I'm on my iPhone, the pc has died :-(

Ok. First questions before we go any further. Did you tell your bank to cancel the CPA, and was the payment performed by a visa card?

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, I did send my bank a letter stating that I wanted them to cancel all CPA on my bank accounts. It was a visa debit card. Thing is my bank never replied to me about the CPA letter so I don't know if they received it.

Ok. the letter was sent, so after that, you are entitled to the money back, plus all charges refunded.

 

Visa are also obliged to start chargeback proceedings.

 

With the CPA letter, the banks rarely ever reply, because its a lesser known tactic for getting them to play ball. Thats why its best to take it in person and get a receipt. Can i ask how you sent the letter, do you have a copy, and what date it was sent?

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..

I just sent the letter by 1st class post, I do have a copy of it as I sent it twice after not receiving a reply the first time.

Can I ask why they would authorise the payment if there were no available funds in my account. Surely it is my decision to make a payment they alway say that we need to actively manage our own accounts but they can authorise payments when I have clearly Not placed funds in my account to cover them.

So a little update.

 

My banks complaints dept called me tonight and they have refunded all of the charges that i have and was due to get. This still left me with an amount over my od so she removed this amount and brought me back to my od amount. I asked her while I was on the telephone about the Chargeback Visa Debit and she advised she is not 100% sure but she thinks that as it was a CPA and I didnt cancel it in branch with them then there is nothing they can do about it. She cancelled my bank account and moved it to a standard account so card is cancelled and account numbers do not exists anymore???

 

She gave me the number for Debit card dispute and i called them, they can not find me as she cancelled my account! the guy on the call advised that they def would not be able to take anymore payments from my account. he said there was nothing he could do as he can't access my account.

 

How do I go about getting the money back that they did take from me? LS are useless cos they have got the money they refuse to answer any of my emails and I refuse to call them.

 

I want to get the money back that they took from my account as I am being charged daily for my od so I want to pay this off with the money I get back.

 

can somebody help?

 

Thanks

If you cancelled the CPA, they must refund the entire amount, plus remove any charges that were incurred as a result of the CPA being granted. You do NOT have to cancel it in a branch. You can simply send it to their head office. However, its recommended you go to a branch so you can get a receipt.

I know they are going to say that they didn't receive my letter as I posted it. Can I still claim the money back via charge back as I have a copy of the letters I posted to LS trying to arrange a payment plan and advising I revoked all authority to use CPA as a means of collecting money from me?

Yes, you can chargeback. Dont let them tell you they have to investigate first. Money back THEN investigation.

Time to issue a full complaint and address it to the CEO. Keep everything exact, detail everything in chronological order, and outline what you want performed in restitution. Make sure at the end to add that a time limit for them to sort it out, and if the complaint is not rectified, you will be issuing a formal complaint with the OFT and FSA, and also be considering legal action.

Just be aware, that if you choose to add the threat of legal action, you must be prepared to follow it up through court. Banks get issued legal threats all the time, so theyre very prepared.
