    • 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.

    • 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 there

 

I currently have 6 payday loans:

 

Payday Express £100

Monkey Dosh £150

Pound Access £100

Square Money £200

Minicredit £100

CFO Lending £400

 

I've found my self taking these loans out to cover interest to defer others and I feel its going to be a never ending cycle and now want rid of them (Payday loans are the worst thing I've ever done).

 

After reading through threads on here I have now cancelled my card and switched my wages to be paid straight into my everyday savings account as I'm now looking to default these loans and hopefully set up payment plans with them when they fail at the end of the month.

 

Is there anything else I need to do to ensure the money isn't taken? Also, am I best contacting them before or after they default? And which lender are the worst to deal with?

 

Thanks

You need to write to your bank and TELL them to stop any and all payments to these creditors, including the use of any CPA's. You have 2 well known trouble makers in your list who are known for stripping accounts, adding on unlawful charges, and even posing as another company simply to get your details so they can empty your account.

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..

Thanks for the reply

 

Is there a template letter anywhere to send to my bank asking them to stop the CPA's and payments?

 

Also is it possible for them to access my everyday saver account, it has the same sort code as my current, just a different account number.

Can I suggest that you attach the following to your letter as the banks have been known to state that they cannot cancel a recurring payment and often need reminded that they can.

 

Cancelling a recurring payment

 

 

152aRecurring payments, is the term used todescribe transactions for which a client has granted written permission forher/his credit or debit card to be debited for recurring goods or services, forexample, club membership subscriptions, insurance cover or payday loans. Thecard may be debited annually, monthly or at other regular intervals.

 

152bIn most cases, recurring payments can becancelled by telling the trader taking the payments. However, a client has theright to withdraw consent by simply telling whoever issued the card (the bank,building society or credit card company) that s/he does not want a payment tobe made. S/he can tell the card issuer by phone, email or letter.

 

152cThe card issuer has no right to insist thatthe client ask the trader to stop taking the payment first. The card issuer hasto stop the payments if the client has asked them to. The client could pointout to the card issuer that they should follow the FSA guidance available inthe FSA Know your rights booklet which is available on the FSA website at www.fsa.gov.uk.

 

152dIf money is still taken from the client'saccount, it will be deemed to be an unauthorised transaction, and the card issuermust give her/him an immediate refund. The card issuer will have to cancel anyinterest and charges added to the her/his account because the payment wastaken. It is not up to the client to prove that s/he told the card issuer tostop taking payments. Instead, the card issuer would have to prove that s/hedid not tell them to stop making payments.

 

152eThe client should complain to the FinancialOmbudsman Service when all the internal complaints systems within the companyissuing the card have been exhausted.

 

1. You can learn more about your rights via the following fsaguide :

 

Ending recurring payments from credit cards

 

57Recurring payments, is the term used to describe transactions for which aclient has granted written permission for her/his credit or debit card to bedebited for recurring goods or services, for example, club membershipsubscriptions, insurance cover or payday loans]. The card may be debited annually,monthly or at other regular intervals.

 

 

2. 58 In most cases, recurring payments can be cancelled by tellingthe trader taking the payments. However, a client has the right to withdrawconsent by simply telling whoever issued the card (the bank, building societyor credit card company) that s/he does not want a payment to be made.

Following on from the above I cancelled all CPA's with the bank as I'm a about to enter into an IVA.

 

This morning Pound Access took 3 payments so I rang Barclays to inform them.

 

Barclays said that because this was the first time this company had taken any money out if my account there was no CPA in place so they could not recharge the money back for these payments, only further payments going forward.

 

Is this right?

Had the bank been informed before the payments were took?

Do you have proof the bank were informed? Sign letter or recorded delivery receipt

 

If so then you need to make a complaint and demand your money back, do it in writing so you have proof.

 

I have made 2 complaints against Natwest and Halifax (my acc (£522 refunded) and wifes (£378 refunded) claiming breach of BCOS rules and have all charges

refunded since the cancel CPA letter was handed to the bank.

 

The most important thing when dealing with payday loans is to separate your income from the account these people

have, use a new account of even a friends while you get another account open.

If money is in the account the banks just let them take it, no money in the account and they don't pay it out.

Hi thanks for the reply.

 

Yes I did inform the bank before the money was taken and the bank agreed they had the letter but because it was the first time the company had taken any payments from my account there was no CPA in place, so the could only recharge back future payments taken but not this one. They said I'd had to take the matter up with pound access.

The bank is playing with you, Once they have your instruction to cancel any/all CPA they must do so.

 

I would write to the bank (formal complaint) claiming breach of bank rules after CPA was cancelled they still paid out.

You could call at the bank with the letter too (also send one recorded delivery) and demand to see the manager, End of the day the bank have

broke BCOS rules, Your instruction to not pay these people was ignored and they should have followed you instructions.

 

You want the money taken back and if your account has incurred any charges you want them back too.

Ask for a final response as your not waiting 8 weeks for a refund of your money, then you can forward onto the fos.

 

Make sure any funds in your account are gone and any income going into the account needs to be changed (today) if possible

to an alternative account.

Did you yell them to cancel the transactions or simply the cpa? Either way you are entitled to a full chargeback as it is an unauthorised transaction.

This is the letter I sent them:

To whom it may concern

 

After getting into a little bit of financial trouble we are now in the process of setting up an IVA.

Payday Express

Monkey Dosh

Pound Access

This is in accordance with our rights under the Payment Services Regulations 2009, which state:

After speaking to several people at Barclays plus a manager they have told met hat they can't cancel these 4 payments that have been taken today.

 

They have said that they did recieve my letter requesting to canclem the CPA's and Pound Access was on the letter, but at the time of recieving it Pound Access did not have a CPA set up on my debit card so when they took the firsr ever payment this morning this would have to stand.

 

Is this correct or they just trying to FOB me off?

They are fobbing you off. Weve seen it over and over. They are unauthorised transactions and it sounds like you need to stop dealing with the lackeys and go straight to the ceo.

Update:

 

After making a comlaint with head office they temporarily reversed the transaction allowing me to take the money out of my account. However I looked at my account today and it is £127 over drawn. I rang the visa debit card services at barclays once again and they told me that even though the transaction was temp reversed it didn't stop Pound Access from claiming the funds and they are unable to charge it back to me as the CPA was not in place with this company on the date my letter was recieved. If I want they would send me dispute forms in the post but it could take up to 8 weeks to have an answer.

 

Barclays.... You ****ing tossers!!!!

 

Just can't win, I might just send a letter straight to the CEO.

Do it. You told them to cancel any cpas to the company. Not just one that is there when you called.

 

Id also contact the oft and fsa and let barclays know in a formal complaint.

"goodwill gesture". Meaning that they screwed up and do not want to admit fault.

 

You need to be issuing a full and formal complaint to the regulators and barclays though. Don't just take barclays word for it.

I would withdraw it so they cant take it again. If they try and make you go overdrawn, then you can get them under BCOBS and with the OFT/FSA and FOS. They obviously know they are wrong, we need to find out why they keep doing it.

Hi Crocdoc

 

Great info and exactly the sections I need to support my case, only issue is i don't have written evidence of my cpa /DD cancellation request before payment were taken but all done over phone which although the above quotes you can cancel cpa by any method, only thing I think that may help me is that when I asked for every thing to be cancelled, i also got new card, it was then another 3 weeks before mini credit took first payment of £25 followed £1250. I don't have over draft yet these charges showed as a minus day before salary and even when I called then I was told I could not stop it as it hadn't gone through yet. I know this is unlawful but how do I fight it?
