    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • 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 there,

I'm fairly new to this. I've been reading the faqs, threads and user guides but have only started posting today.

 

I'm claiming back charges from HSBC for the last 6 years, on behalf of my partner.

 

I'm currently going through his statements and am slightly confused as to the difference in what the charges are called. Some say 'Charge' and some say 'Total Charges' - this isn't the total of the charges for the month as they don't add up (and it's clear to see that it's a seperate amount of money taken out). I was just wondering if anybody might be able to shed some light on this as this charge business is all new to me!!

 

I apologise if this question has already been addressed somewhere else, I have looked but unfortunately couldn't find anything.

 

Many thanks,

 

Lisa

In my experience, charge is like a dd or cheque which has bounced and they charge around £30 for the privilege.

 

Total charges is the amount they like to take monthly for been over your limit! In any event, claim for them all!!

 

Hope this helps!

well i typed up the LBA and my bf signed it ready to go in today's post. I left him the responsibility of posting the letter. As he wasn't near a post office but was the near the actual bank where I sent the prelim (and the lba is addressed to) he decided to just take it in there. For some unknow reason he didn't quite understand "don't get into conversation with them, just tell them you want written correspondence" and they will be calling him back later today.

 

Basically, I just want to know if this will affect the claim at all? :-(

 

If they do call tonight I will make sure my bf refuses to talk, asking for written correspondence only.

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi there,

Time for the MCOL, only I have to do it manually on the N1 form. So I've filled it all in, got it all signed and ready to go and I check my partners account only to see he's got a £45 charge due to be applied on December 14th. Can I claim this back even though they haven't technically taken it yet? if yes, how do I do it? do I add the £45 to the charge schedule and then add it to the overall total? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks :)

Hi there,

So I filled in the N1 form and took it (along with the schedule of charges) to the local court. This was last Friday (1st Dec') and I haven't heard anything yet. I was just wondering when the 14 days starts? was it from Friday? Monday? or does it start after I've had some sort of confirmation? Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks guys.....I really wouldn't be able to do this without your generous support!!

Ok,so I spoke to the Court and they told me it was served on 6th Dec and that HSBC had acknowledged this which means they now have 4 weeks to enter a defence. Is this normal?? :confused:

 

Also, I'm slightly concerned that I haven't received any information from the Court informing me of the progress of my claim.

 

Slightly anxious now!

 

Can anyone offer any advice to put my mind at rest?

Hi,

I filled in the N1 Form and took it to the Court on Friday (1/12/06). I hadn't heard anything so I called them today and was told that it was served on 6/12/06 and that HSBC have acknowledged it which means they have 4 weeks to enter a defence. Is this going according to plan?

Also, I'm quite concerned that I haven't heard anything from the Court (even just confirmation that it had been served). Am I to assume this is just delayed post (possibly due to Christmas) or is this standard procedure?

 

Last question, I promise....... Do I just sit back and wait now??

 

I don't know whether to be excited or scared!!

 

Cheers,

is going just as mine did, just wait for a response now, I heard nothing until today & the 4 week deadline for my case is in 2 days so don't worry if you don't hear from them, i think quite alot of people aren't hearing anything until right at the last minute now. & don't worry if you get a court paper saying that HSBCs' solicitors intend to defend the claim, that is normal too.

 

Good luck & if you're scared just come on here, it helps :)

Thanks for that Kopella.

 

So would the 4 week deadline start from the 6th Dec, when it was served or the 8th when HSBC Acknowledged it??

Also, will the deadline date be exactly 4 weeks (making it early Jan) or later due to Christmas (bank holidays e.t.c) ?

 

Thanks again!!

I'm not an expert & am not 100% but as far as I am aware, the 28 days is from the date the claim was acknowledged by HSBC, thats when I counted mine from. Also, the deadline doesn't change regardless of xmas, the banks solicitors may not respond promptly due to xmas & new year but the 28 day deadline cannot be extended. (as far as i'm aware, am not a legal eagle so am not 100% )

 

Hope that helps :) x

Hi there,

So the N1 form went to the Court on Friday 1 Dec. The Claim was deemed served on 6 Dec and HSBC acknowledged it on 8 Dec.

 

I (well, my partner....technically ;) ) received an offer of £1455.00 today. This is £350.50 short of what we asked (including court costs).

 

I honestly can't believe they actually made an offer!!! Wow!!

 

However, now I'm unsure as what I should do.....my instant reaction is to just take the money and run, but then I think well if they made such a large offer then why can't they just pay the rest? It's my partners £350.50, not theirs!!

 

The letter came with a slip to sign and return if we want to accept in full and final settlement. If I convince my partner to hang on for the rest, what do I need to send? and to where?

 

Thanks so much for all your help and thanks in advance to anyone who can help with the above questions.

 

I feel great now :D Woooo!!

Reply to whoever sent the offer.

 

Dear [named sender or Sirs]

 

 

Thank you for your letter dated xx/xx/xx. Prior to receipt of your letter I have filed a claim in the County Court and have therefore incurred further costs.

 

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, interest and court fees now totalling £xxxx

 

I will accept the sum offered only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder.

 

I will be willing to withdraw my claim upon receipt of unconditional full settlement of my claim.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

Yours faithfully

Well it seems as though convincing my partner to hold out and wait for the remaining £350 is going to be more difficult than I had first thought.

 

I think that what with the amount of publicity the subject is receiving at the moment (bbc news this morning and a programme on bbc 2 tonight) my partner thinks he’ll be the one the bank will make an example of.

 

Whether we settle in full or partial (if I get my way) I assume that the 28 days from when HSBC acknowledged the claim, still stands? (obviously I’ll retract the claim if we settle in full and final).

 

Either way it’s a great achievement which wouldn’t have been possible without this website or it’s ever helpful users. :)

 

Thanks again,
