    • 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: _____________________

    • 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.

Next monday i am expected to plan out my 35 hour a week Jobsearch for the JC.

 

How are they going to monitor this, and is it actually possible to search for work for 7 hours solidly every day of the week?

 

Also setting up a UJ account.

 

It usually takes me 2 hours a day to do a Jobseach, so it's gonna be a struggle to make it last 7 hours a day!

This goverment is rubbish, how an earth people can do 35 hours a week doing Jobsearch? not a lot of Jobs around and some jobs need driving licence (which people can't apply if their can't drive) and some also state need experience.

 

This goverment needs sorting out. :x

The reality is that the policy is ideological and punitive and not borne out of any common sense idea. It IS based on a feeling of 'I have to work all day for my money, why do they (the unemployed) get money for nothing?' Solution: Punitive measures including silly numbers of jobseeking hours, workfare, sanctions, useless courses and making life as difficult and stressful as possible for jobseekers.

They are sneaking in the CC

They have been terrible to me with the PWP nonsense

 

Tell them you have no internet and no pc - its impossible to spend 35 hours on a PC - even in my old office based job we had to take breaks and they were hot on health and safety issues and everyone had to have work station assessments etc even home workers - there were huge levels of sickness related to working long hours on office PCs - RSI was most common along with lighting issues causing headaches etc. Does that not apply?

I just like to say thanks for that tip stigofthedump, if there tell me to do 35 hours of Jobsearch I will just have to say I don't have a pc and internet.

 

Don't get me wrong, I apply for jobs everyday but 35 hours a week. its bloody mad when not a lot of Jobs about.

Totally agree and once your tied up with that system they can tell exactly what your doing or not doing - a friend I know is on it all the time and she struggles when her leccy runs out and kids to look after -there are very real Health and Safety issues - don't know if they can force you to go to these work scheme things and make you sit there for 35hrs if you don't have internet access. Has anyone explored H&S issues????????

 

Hope you get some good luck mate

I don't think anyone has explored the H&S issues.

 

If you don't have a PC, they'd probably tell you to go to the job centre or library.

 

I believe in some areas they have places with computers that they send you to, or as said, tell you to go to the library or other places where there is internet.

I am not sure saying you have no connection will get you out of it.

Libraries will not be happy with people hogging PCs for 35 hours - that would prevent access to others - I wonder if the JCs know who has internet !! Bet there are some quick trick questions to catch u out - I know they look at facebook and other social media sites

Just imagine the resources they would need if thousands of people in every JCP office claimed that they had no internet. It would cost the tax payer millions to provide enough computers for all of us to spend 35 hours a week seeking non existant jobs.

Times that by the jobless years we could spend hogging them DWP computers and its plain for us all to see that the system will break down. They wont cope.

Yes it might be a pain in the rear end for us at the beggining but if we all decide to go down the internet less route the reward of seeing IDS jumping off Westminster bridge when the system crashes and burns will be well worth it.

 

I urge EVERYONE on here to, at the nearest oppurtunity, to inform JCP, DWP or WP that you dont have or no longer have internet. Tell everyone you know to do the same, pass the word around.

Tell JCP, DWP and WP that you dont know how to use a computer, if they dont know this, so if we all get sent on computer courses this will cost the taxpayer millions. I for one will act dumb and fail computer courses just to help clog the system up.

 

If it costs the government billions more to maintain the regime then questions will be asked and the regime will face cuts meaning the end of UJM and other stupid proggrams.

Yes, quite. Sanctions should be reserved for the most egregious cases of noncompliance, not used as a matter of routine.

Yes to "should be"

But I have twice in the past few months been effectively threatened with sanctions because they change how they want my job search recorded

Second time she was a petty vindictive bully who made a failed attempt to bully and openly threaten me with sanctions

2 hours?

 

In 2 hours I could easily produce enough evidence that on the face of it would look like I have been searching 24/7!

 

I would email a copy of my CV and a covering letter to every company, business etc using the following link.

http://www.kellysearch.co.uk/

 

Job applications would amount to the thousands a week. And when you have managed to get through the whole of the categories and names from A to Z first time round, just use your email address links to resend them every few months.

 

Then give the JC a print out of the CV and covering letter and all of the businesses that you have emailed - that should keep you busy for a couple of hours a week.

 

I would love to see the advisor's face every time that you sign on when you present a list containing upwards of 5000 applications!

Hi,

The Jobseekers Allowance Regulations 2013 came into force on 29th April 2013 and it states the new 35 hours per week job search requirement. However, it allows for certain deductions from the 35 hrs: max 50% of your agreed work search requirement can be voluntary work. ie 17,5 hrs.

 

The mistery is: who does this 35 hrs per week job search requirement relate to because most claimants do not have to do. I've been claiming since August 2013 so you would think the 2013 regulations relate to me. I am on the Work Programme, finishing soon.

 

Click on the .jpg links above to see the law about this 35 hrs job search and the allowed hours of voluntary work / work preparation.

 

When did the original poster sign on / start date of claim? Anyone knows which JSA claimants have to do the 35 hours documented job search per week? I have to be available for work for 40 hrs per week but no required hours of weekly job search in my agreement.
