    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 24/12/2022. 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 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: _____________________
    • AMEX and TSB the 2 Creditors who you need to worry about the least, ever!  Just stop paying them and forget about it, ignore all their threat o gram letters.  Only if, and with these 2 it's a massive if, you end up with a claim form you need to respond, and there will be plenty of help here.

    • 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.

Just had a look at my tenency agreement. There's a nice bit that says if theirs any rent arrears they won't do repairs!!!

 

If the things need repairing are causing a health and safety issue or making the building unfit for habitation, then they have no choice but to repair. They cant get out of that.

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..

Well, this is my landlords idea of "fixing" the holes in the walls:

Two days later and the holes are reappearing.

 

They had someone on the roof the other day, he was there for 7 min, another patch up job.

 

Environmental health are ignoring me still.

with your electricity constantly cutting out have you fought of having a chat with your local fire station and asking then to come out to do a fire inspection even if its for your property and mention the electrical issue.

Tbh the electricity has been fine since they changed the plug, for now.

 

I've just registered with council housing, hopefully this will all go In my favour.

 

Does anyone know if I can put in a copy of the environmental health report to get me moved quicker?

 

Cheers

What Env Health report? I thought they were ignoring you.

 

They initially came out and inspected the property. A report was sent to myself and the landlord detailing the issues and giving x amount of time to rectify. This wasn't done and eh said " I have a dialogue with your landlord". Since then eh have ignored every email I've sent him.

Can I refuse access to my landlords workmen until I see there credentials?

 

I'm fairly certain they are not qualified, one in particular. He's been on the phone again and surprise surprise my shower is leaking for the 18th time.

not impressed:

 

I can advise that I revisited the property and common parts with a representative from x April 2013. All works have been completed to my satisfaction and the job has been closed. Unfortunately I am unable to assist any further in this matter. I trust this information is of assistance.

Thank you for your email. I can advise that I have now had the opportunity to look at the photos you forwarded. Whilst I appreciate you dissatisfaction with the repair I must advise that from a public health perspective this is a cosmetic matter which I am unable to move forward.

 

 

 

I would advise that you bring this to the attention of x and ask them if they can take a further look at the situation. I trust this information is of assistance.

You think a wall with holes in because of damp is cosmetic???

 

Sent from my iPhone

 

I was not aware of any on going issue with damp affecting your flat as all works to address this matter have been completed. Do you know whether the problem is external or coming from another flat? also can you confirm whether you have raised the issue with your landlord? if so what was there response.

perhaps if you had checked internal works not just communal areas you would be aware problms have not been fixed. I am unable to confirm were the damp is coming from, I am not a damp expert. You know ful well multiple emails and verbal requests have been made to the landlord to fix issues, hence why you were involved.

 

I do believe page 3 of your own report states the following:

 

  1. Damp and mould growth

  1. extensive penetrating dampness to the second floor common areas AND LOUNGE AND KITCHEN WALLS OF FLAT 5. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED. The source of water ingress requires investigation. Upon establishing the source of ingress; CARRY OUT ALL WORKS NECESSARY TO STOP THE WATER INGRESS AND MAKE GOOD ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE ACCORDINGLY. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED....

FUMING!! My bathroom light went kaboom so I reported it. I was sat in my living room with music on doing uni stuff, went to the toilet, low and behold there's foot prints in the bathroom and front door was open!!! The work men had entered without permission or even knocking on the door to come in!!! They just let themselves in!!!

 

Then later they came back as I was in my way out and knocked he says "what's wrong with this light then" I said listen you know full well etc etc I told him I had to go out to work and would he lock the door with the key he obviously had "yeah no problem". I told the landlord I had to honour and make sure they lock the front door. Come home from work, guess what?! Not only was it not locked, it was wide open!!!! They've also been into my living room, the lights were left on, there was no reason whatsoever for them to go into the living room!!!!
