    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...

    • look on the bright side - it would allow Biden to do what he likes ...
    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again

    • 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

i have 2 items with brighthouse that cost 18.40 a week

(including osc which after reading this forum i understand i didnt have to take out despite them insisting on it)

 

the account should have been paid on saturday just gone

but due to unforeseen circumstances i am unable to make a payment until next tuesday

which will make it 2 weeks in arrears the following saturday. I

 

have had a shop manager on my doorstep today telling me that if i dont pay by 12pm tomorrow (thursday 17th jan)

that they will be taking my goods.

 

in my contract it states in the repossession part

if you do not keep your side of the agreement but you have paid at least one third

of the total amount payable under this agreement,

that is 438.88 we may not take back the goods against your wished unless we get a court order

 

i have paid this amount and more.

 

when i said this to the manager he told me that because it was worded "may not"

instead of "can not" then he could take the goods with out a court order.

 

am i right in thinking this is a load of tosh?

 

i have told him the date i can pay it

but hes being very arrogant about it

and id like to know my rights in this as it all seems a bit wrong.

 

Ive not received any letters or a default notice in writing only him phoning me

but i missed his call and him on my doorstep.

 

when he undoubtedly turns up to try and collect the goods

 

do i have to let him into the property?

 

thanks in advance

nope you don't!!

 

an even IF you've NOT paid 1/3rd you STILL don't have to let them in!!

 

they are NOT BAILIFFS

 

and have

 

NO SUCH BAILIFF POWERS.

 

I suggest you get a reclaim running for the OSC.

 

its also worthy of note

 

that their are NO RULES WHATSOEVER

concerning HP agreements that you need anti theft or Damage insurance

so DLC is questionable too!!

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Good Morning bluegirl83

 

At BrightHouse we don’t employ bailiffs. We always try to contact customers in writing and by telephone to discuss any resolutions. However, if we are unable to make contact with a customer, one of our employees may arrange a home visit to discuss the customer’s circumstances and agree on a course of action to help get things back on track.

 

If your BrightHouse account is in arrears, we’ll listen to your individual circumstances and then agree on the best course of action that helps you get back on track.

To contact our customer relations team either phone us on 0800 526 069 or email [email protected].

 

As ever, please keep the thread updated with any progress

No one needs to ever discuss things on there doorstep

Rather than fudge over the issue

Bright house staff need training,

there lies are wrong

intimidation on the doorstep is also wrong

When you get back from school, come back on here and we will help you as best we can...

Most of Brighthouses members are now claiming back these "Optional" add ons.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi

 

Ann Marie I have tried discussing it with the manager but he is adamant he will be removing the goods and is unwilling to wait til Tuesday for a payment. According to him they only allow you to be 5 days late before recovering goods. To be honest I'd prefer not to deal with him at all as his rudeness and arrogance is astounding.

 

To the poster who offered help with claiming back osc etc(sorry I can't see your name as I'm on my phone) I have checked my contract and on one item I'm paying £3.55 a week osc and £1.95 dlc on the other item it is £1.50 osc as that's on a statement but I can't find the contract for that item to see how much dlc is.

 

As I understand now osc is optional but what about dlc? I was told I had to have both as I don't have home insurance. I have been paying both since June 2012 if I didn't need any of these can I claim back up to that date?

How long have you been with Brighthouse?

Their managers have no right to just turn up on your doorstep and you can withdraw their right of attendance and get them removed with police force If they refuse.

 

Also as well it might be worth Sending a SAR to Brighthouse head office

Ann Marie. This seems to be basic business practice for brighthouse. How about retraining management or replacing them.

 

You can say or justify it how you like. You know as well as we do that this is normal behaviour for your store staff, and dare I say it, your senior management turn a blind eye to it because it makes money.

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..

You have been speaking with the manager and he is spinning you lie after lie they can turn up but you can tell them to leave

They will not be taking goods back there is no right of entry for them

They have no right to be on your property

Sadly it seams this is normal behaviour from bright house

 

How anyone could have any faith in a "manager" to move things forwards when they have been treated this way

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

Bit of an update. Manager just phoned. I explained that I'm willing to pay but can't until Tuesday. He's put a note on my account stating that I will go in Tuesday and to leave me until then. There was a huge difference in his attitude from yesterday.

 

Now just need to sort out osc etc

What does he mean "leave you until then"? He'd better leave you alone full stop. Get that doorstep collectors letter off to BH asap.

Yeah... It's not right that the manager is being like this to you... But this is what happens with these stores.

 

You can claim both DLC and OSC back... Not just the OSC you know
