    • 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.

    • 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.

I started this process before I knew this website existed and so just wrote a polite but firm letter to my bank requesting that they review what I felt to be excessive charges on my account over a 3 month period (£1200). When they ignored that I sent them a reminder 14 days later (both recorded) which they have now also ignored! Had I not been nearly so frustrated by them I may not have found this website but they ignored me at their peril and now instead of 3 months charges they'll be looking at a whole lot more.

SAR is on my desk ready to go in the post tonight and thanks to all you guys and the great information on this site, I can't wait!!

Well the total now is £3176 excluding interest although it may be higher as although I pay a monthly charge for my Royalties Account I also get hit with £28 a month for going over my arranged overdraft limit - can I include this? I'd appreciate if someone can let me know asap as I have the letter ready to go and would like to get it posted before the weekend.

Thanks :)

My prelim letter went off on 27th November claiming charges totalling £3868. Short of miracle I'm too late to get the money in time for xmas but maybe a good start to the new year!! As my husband has just been laid off yet again we could really do with it so fingers crossed. I'd like to think it won't get as far as the courts as I'll need to file 6 different small claims but am well prepared to if that's what needs done!

I can't believe I didn't even get the standard 'no' letter - I keep telling myself maybe it's all running a bit slow due to xmas etc but I'm sticking to my deadlines all the same! Hope you hear something before the weekend! Fingers are crossed for you!!

My understanding is that you can use the Summary Clause up to £1500 whereas to go through Small Claims you'd need to split it as £750 is the most you can claim. The fees involved are the same (I think £39) but I believe the only down side to summary clause is that you could be liable for the Bank's court fees IF you lose but then reading through this site, reading articles and watching that episode of the Money Programme highlighted just how unlikely this is. From what I've read on here I think more people are gaining confidence and going with Summary Clause rather than the lengthy process of doing a few Small Claims.

Sorry I don't have many details but I'm not quite at that stage just yet.

Good luck!! :)

Hi Erinamanda and sorry to hijack your thread Smithsu01, im also in Scotland and just reading through some Scottish posts to refresh myself. I'm currently going through the summary cause process with LTSB (see my signature for my thread). The fees are the same £39 and the whole process is the almost identical, its just a diferent track of small claims. One thing I would point out is when you recieve the summons back in the post from the sheriff court YOU must get a sheriff officer to serve the summons on the bank (form 1B), the court doesn't do this for you.

 

Good luck with both of your claims and have a look over my thread to see what my lie ahead should you need to go to court, hope it gives you some encouragement.

 

Merry christmas btw

Hi

 

Cheers for the info, but I'm now wishing I took RBOS's offer. I'm emigrating to Australia end of Jan and with the timescales for Summay cause claims, it's a nitemare. Spoke with Tommy McLean again to day and felt he was trying to fob me off. He previously told me on 20th December that I would be likelly to recieve a letter offering full amount the following day, now he's saying the the way in whish the bank are dealing with claims is changing from day to day. He suggested I either wait until they respond or take the legal route. To top all this off, I've been charged £152 over xmas :-(

Mmmm, fraid I don't know the answer to that one but hopefully someone will!

The deadline for my LBA is up in a few days and as yet I've heard nothing at all from RBS! No 'get lost' letter in response to my prelim letter and now no offer at all to my LBA. Wondering if I should e-mail to make sure it's being dealt with as everyone else seems to at least get the standard responses and seems strange to have had nothing at all by this stage!

The letters were sent recorded delivery and have been signed for so I know they've got them!

Any thoughts anyone??

So the deadline for the LBA came and went with still no word from RBS so I e-mailed Tommy McLean just saying that I was disappointed to have not even received a confirmation of my letter and while I appreciate they must be busy etc etc (well someone said he responds better if you're nice to him!). I got a reply straight back with the usual apology and he couldn't tell me when they'd be able to deal with it but they would as soon as they could.

 

At this point I couldn't afford to file at court and would've had to wait a couple of weeks so e-mailed back to say 'as a goodwill gesture I'd extend the deadline by 10 days but rest assured I will file at court after this time' - no harm making him think I'm being nice as oppsed to just skint!!!

 

Anyway, the next day I received acknowlegments of both my Prelim and LBA so suspect he'd stepped things up a bit - strange coincidence if not!

Just as their 10 day extended deadline was up.....I'd been to court to collect forms......arrived home........and there it was an offer for the full amount!!!!

 

The letter was just a standard, ' we feel these are not penalties but charges for services but as a sign of goodwill......'!!

 

Delighted!!!!

 

Thank you so much to everyone on this site!! Wouldn't have had the first idea where to start without you. All this because a RBS employee suggested I look into it!!
