    • 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.

    • 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 Everyone

I had an ATOS Medical last September and was found fit for work. I appealed last October straight away on a GL24 and last week was awarded WRAG, bu,t and this is the but,I have new evidence come to light to state that I should not at any cost work and my GP supports this.

 

If I appeal again to be placed into the Support Group how do I do this and will I lost my benefit in the meantime that I have just fought for and won? I know that I have to see a personal advisor to continue to receive my benefit but my GP says that this is not possible. Where do I stand now? Any help would be appreciated.

What will be will be and none of us can change the course of history or human nature:wink:

You were placed in WRAG on the evidence available at the time of your failed WCA assessment. If evidence of further debilitation is now available, than you can provide that to the DWP as a change in your condition. I'm not entirely sure of the fancy word for this but suspect it's along the lines of a 'supersession' ...

Thank you very much RaeUK but I am still unsure of what to do next as I see my GP tomorrow morning again and I have to ask for his help yet again because there is no way I can attend to see a WRAG personal advisor. I realise that I have been deemed fit for some kind of work BUT it still remains that I have been to the hospital and my GP says it is impossible for me to work and my new x-rays demonstrate this quite clearly. I have had a few falls this year which my GP states are all to do with the nerves in my legs also, another reason he says I cannot work.

 

It took my six months to be placed into the WRAG Group but I should have been placed in the Support Group.

 

Where do I go from here?

 

Any help from you fellow caggers would be appreciated.

Did it go to Tribunal, or did the DWP change their decision?

Nystagmite I do meet one of those criteria that I have looked at even moreso now. This is a minefield to me though. I am on High Rate Mobility and Low Rate Care of DLA.

The DWP changed their decision and I got it in writing last week.

 

You can appeal this decision (from last week), as long as you can show you met the support group criteria at the time of the ATOS assessment (your gp may be able to help with this). Be aware, that at Tribunal, there is always a small chance of your whole ESA award being removed, so just be sure you meet at least one support group criteria, and have evidence to back it up, and can show that ATOS were mistaken in their assessment.

Hi estellyn I have evidence at the time of the ATOS assessment that states that I am on high rate dla mobility and low rate care and the ATOS assessor knew this full well but chose to ignore it. I was told at my full body scan last year before ATOS that I have bad knees and also at my Bone scan.

 

Anyhow to cut a long story short I now find myself in the position whereby I am being put forward for a double knee replacement by my GP due to the recent x-ray results. I cannot walk far and also have a blue badge. My GP is certain of the fact I meet one of the conditions in the support group criteria and so is my pain management consultant who has agreed to place me on Morphine.

As nystagmite says, your DLA is ignored for assessment purposes, and to get the support group descriptor for mobilising, you have to explain and provide evidence as to why you can't mobilise using a wheelchair - whereas for DLA, they don't take ability to use wheelchair into account.

Just to say that being in the wrag doesn't mean you are fit for work, it is part of esa. You would need to attend some face to face interviews just to talk about what could help you prepare towards work at some stage in the future.

Hi Fairywing54

 

Do not try to appeal the tribunal decision, not worth it. You need a new application to DWP to state that you have deteriorated medically since the assessment either using the ESA descriptors or Section 32 which I will explain later. This will be supported by medical evidence. Can you please let me know the exact wording of your tribunal judgement and which categories you were allocated points for. It is possible to be allocated to the support group, believe me. Think I can advise if I have a bit more info.

 

If you do get called for a WAG interview at the JobCentre and explain your problems to the adviser as they can be very helpful in supporting your case (they may not know this but they can) Take a friend if you can

Hi CD

Thank you for your help. I did not go to Tribunal at all! I appealed on a GL24 and sent it in last October 2012. Lo and behold on April the 19th I was awarded back pay from last October and placed into the WRAG group. I have no letter giving me any points or anything other than the original one which said I had 6 points and was not entitled to ESA at all so I appealed straight away and got it back. I never knew it had been seen by a tribunal until the letter from the DWP stated that it had been seen by one. I can ask for the decision to be looked at again as I now have the evidence provided by my GP today. Is this any good? Any help for me is better than nothing I can tell you it is driving me nuts.

Can you contact DWP and ask for a copy of the tribunal decision? Were you notified of a tribunal hearing at all? Why did you not attend? Ask for details of this. I would not recommend appealing a tribunal decision, this can take a while and is rarely overturned - it is far better to notify a deterioration in health to DWP since the original ATOS assessment and argue the reasons for being in the support group.

 

You can be in the WRAG group for a year after first claiming on benefit if this is NI contribution based (then you need to be in the support group). It is longer if income based, depending on your circumstances, but the support group is a slightly higher rate and you should receive less hassle. Being on DLA is different as many people on DLA can work, it is proving for ESA that being in work is not possible and would be detrimental to your health and well being

Thank you coledog for your answer to me, I have put together a letter tonight asking the questions you have raised above as I never attended a Tribunal and never knew one had taken place either until I received my letter of the decision informing me a Tribunal had placed me in the WRAG. I am going to send this out tomorrow and ask for the decision to be looked at again.

 

Yes this is contribution based as I was sacked from my job for being incapable of doing it last July 2012 so that's when I went on ESA at the assessment rate. This will come to an end in July 2013 according to my letter I received last week. I understand this and the reasons which is another argument for being placed in the Support Group.

 

I will keep everyone informed of how I am getting on and if it was not for this forum I think I would have gone completely insane months ago, I am doing this on my own without any help from outside organisations as they always seem to be too busy to help me and overstretched.

RaeUK I have the exact wording in my letter for you: " Your appeal has been heard by an independent appeal tribunal. The tribunal has decided that you are entitled to Employment Support Allowance". I never knew that this had happened, where, when or anything!!

No i did not Nystagmite, all I did was put in a GL24 in October 2012 and that was that until April 2013 when I was informed I had been placed into the WRAG group. How frustrating is that?

If you didn't get a choice between paper and oral hearing, you can ask the Tribunal chair for the decision to be set aside and to have an oral hearing - the problem with this is that the whole decision would be set aside and you back to assessment rate ESA.

 

Your best and safest option in this case may be just asking for a new assessment based on worsening condition - this is refered to as asking for a supersession based on a change of circumstances (worsened condition).

Agree - this is what we need to get but need some details of the the decision they have made so as to argue the extend of the deterioration.
