    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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 all,

 

Have received court claim from Cabot via their Solicitor's.

It is for a Halifax credit card dating back to 2004 approx.

I've acknowledged service and now need to see sight of what docs they possess for my defence.

 

 

 

Their POC is vague and doesn't mention that it is a credit card debt

Fails to mention any account no or any credit agreement-just that the debt was purchased from Halifax and states the amount of debt but fails to indicate if it was a loan,overdraft or credit card.

But states that the debts are regulated by the CCA 1974(the Act).

 

It goes on to say Default Notices were served in accordance with section 87(1) but the defendent has failed to pay the sum due.

 

Am I right in that I cannot request a copy of the agreement via CPR 31.14?

Is there another CPR request I should send instead?

Should I just send a CCA request to see if Cabot have a copy?

 

Or do I just ask for the Default Notice,letter of Assignment and deed of Assignment?

Can you post up the POC details and approx value of the claim.

 

Then hopefully tomorrow you will get some replies to guide you.

 

I have seen other Cabot posts for similar claims and they have started a new way of trying to get CCJ's, using a vague POC wording. So it may be worth searching CAG to see what has been said.

 

Do you know when you last made any payment towards this debt ?

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for your replys.Will have a read of that link 42man.Thanks.

 

Here are the POC's-

 

"Claimant purchased a debt from the following(current balance is also shown)

 

Halifax £6,xxx

 

These debts are regulated by the Consumer credit Act 1974(the Act)

Default notice(s) were issued in accordance with section 87(1) of the Act but defendant has

Failed to pay the sum(s) due.

 

The claimant therefore claims the sum of 6,xxx plus costs.

 

Claimant also claims statutory interest pursuant to s.69 of the County Court Act 1984

from date of issue to date of judgement,or sooner payment."

 

Would appreciate your advice and expertise on what to do next.Have acknowledged service indicating I will fully defend.

 

I want to get a CPR letter off ASAP.

Am I correct in thinking that I can't request the agreement only the Default Notice and letter of Assignment?

 

The account has not been paid for almost 3 years.

 

Thank you.

Is there not even an account number recorded in the P.o.C or have you left it out intentionally?

Thanks for the replies.Really appreciate all your help.

 

No,there was no account number mentioned on the claim form. Not sure how this affects my defence.

 

Should I still cca Cabot for sight of an agreement?

" Should I still cca Cabot for sight of an agreement? "

 

Yes and CPR 31.14 for anything else referred to the particulars.

  • 4 months later...

Hi all,

Urgent advice needed!!!!!!

 

Well........Cabot's Solicitors have finally responded to my CPR 31.14 request four months on.!!!!!!!

They kindly put my case on hold whilst they collected the documents I requested and offered me 14 days to file my defence upon receipt.

 

They posted out-

 

A letter from Cabot stating they have bought the account.

An illegible application form with no prescribed terms

Some statements,not ALL!

Some terms and conditions which they describe as Original and Current terms and conditions

Notice of Arrears

Redacted Deed of Assignment

Redadcted Action history

 

They FAILED to enclose a copy of the default notice and state in last paragraph of cover letter "we can confirm that a default notice (that we believe to have been compliant with the relevant legislation) was issued on xx /xx/20xx.While a copy of this letter was not retained by the bank contemporaneous information stored electronically relating to default notice was maintained. Not withstanding this, the balance is still due and owing by way of arrears".

 

Luckily, I have the ORIGINALl default notice with an issue date that totally conflicts with the date their solicitors mention in the above quoted paragraph of their letter and it is also a flawed DN as it does not give me enough time to remedy.

I have only a few days now to file a defence in response to my CPR request.

 

Should I be submitting an embarrassed defence as they have failed to supply default notice, mentioned in their POC or should I be going for my defence based on the invalid default notice and the illegible CCA? I only have a handful of days!!

Ok Andy,will get relevant docs uploaded shortly.

 

 

Having a read around of defences and there are a load of embarrassed defences on the forum so i'm struggling with formatting a fully particularised defence.

 

It will be built around an invalid dn,not allowing enough time.Their solicitors also quoted a conflicting date of issue to my original DN.So they clearly have no idea when the DN was issued.

Should I make them aware of this in the defence??

 

Can Cabot resolve the invalid DN issue or not?

I had read somewhere that an invalid DN can only be reissued by OC???!! Is this the case or not?

 

An assigned debt wherby I never received a notice of Assignment and certainly not delivered by Registerd post.Although their solicitors have provided a welcome letter from Cabot saying they own the account.

 

Do I mention the vague POC and how?

 

Also, can I mention the illegible cca with no prescribed terms supplied from CCA request eventhough it is only described as a debt in their POC?

 

Any help with this would be massively appreciated as only have a couple of days to submit or any links to similar threads would be great.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi Andy,

 

No defence has been submitted.

 

After my acknowledgement of service and request for docs under Part 31 CPR and s 77/78 Consumer Credit Act 1974,their Solicitors wrote to me saying Cabot would be requesting docs from the Original lender and continued with-

"As we are unable to confirm when we shall receive these documents at this time we have been instructed to allow an extension of time for you to file your defence until 14 days after we have served the relevant replies to your requests upon you."

 

So no defence as yet has been filed.

 

Regards

Their letter is dated the 2nd of May and despite not receiving their disclosure docs until the 7th May() after Bank Hol weekend,they are expecting my defense by the 16th May or they will go for judgement.

They haven't allowed me any time for the service of docs.

 

Hence why I'm panicking a bit now with submitting my defence!
