    • Honestly you are all amazing on this site, thank you so much for your help and time. ill keep an eye out and only return when i receive a claim letter for sure also, i updated my address with amex and tsb before i even missed payments. the initial address was my family home but i dont reside there. to avoid a bombardment of letters there i have now updated my address, will they send all threats etc to the new address? Or old address?   do you reccomend i send both tsb and amex my update in address via a letter?
    • 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 all, so I'm home and

 

the letter received from P&C should be attached.

 

I've done my best to go through it all and ensure that all personal information has been removed from the letter,

and please accept my apologies for the "scribbles";

 

the editing was done on my iphone with an app, so it didnt work out the greatest, however hopefully it will do.

 

All in all, the response, to me at least, seems really sarcastic and just plain wrong.

 

They make reference to the fact that my partner should have contacted the Police if she thought the signature had been fradulently signed,

 

however when we received the SARS was the first time she had even seen that VS.

 

There are lots in it that I think is ridiculous,

 

however I don't want to risk boring you,

 

so I'll let you make your own minds up.

 

I look forward to seeing your responses.

 

Thanks again everyone for all the help and advice,

 

I hope you know what help it gives us.

my notes

 

info regarding how good BPS collections [the repo agent]

are/were is immatterial

as is the fact they [did] held a CCL

as is the fact that in april 2014 the FCA issued an IPC

 

they are stating they instigated the VS?

then why did they not instigate VT?

 

in relation to the VS, nothing to do with more than 1/3rd paid

equally VT could have been done

 

you didn't contact them about the illegal repo

as until recently you didn't know your rights.

 

as for your sig

you weren't at the repo

so it cannot be yours

 

as to the fact that you should have gone to the police

how could you - you didn't know it was signed

nor your rights to even question the repo at that time.

so tiny which way forward?

 

Two choices really,

 

issue against them, but you would def need a solicitor in this type of case,

as it would be upto you as claimant to prove your claim,

and has of course the associated cost implications.

 

Or forward complaint to the fos, only postage costs involved.

 

The downside being if an ombudsman eventually ruled in their favour it would make a court claim much harder.

 

Of course it does have the added advantage that godebt would be in breach of the FCA guidelines

if they tried to contiue any action whilst the dispute is with the fos (which will in all likelyhood take several months).

 

That would be my way forward, but either way I would suggest one further letter to PCF to get all your points in order

prior to sending to the fos (they did not even mention Final Response in their reply).

 

Happy to do another letter if you wish to go with this

Hi mate, thanks again for the reply.

 

I'd take your advice to be honest and if you feel the best way to go about this would be to contact PCF again to clarify points and anything additional,

then we'll go with that.

 

Depending on their reply we'll see what happens after this point.

 

If you are able to do us a letter that would be great?

 

Thanks again everyone.

We've tried this, she knows she went in holiday around this time but we can't see when exactly . She's tried to check things like Facebook and old pictures but we can't get a specific date on it. I'm not sure if she can place which place of work she was at, but either way, I doubt they'd have information in relation her being in work so long ago. It's a nightmare.

ok tiny here you go, (just blagging it a little regards the ws)--

 

--I refer to your reply to my Formal Complaint reference the above numbered agreement, the contents of which have been noted.

 

I regret to note that the majority of your reply fails to address the detail of my complaint.

 

The conduct of the account prior to May 22nd2009, and the qualifications or otherwise of your repossession agents bear no relevance to my complaint.

 

I do however note that your letter confirms,

1) that in order to have signed the form of Voluntary Surrender on 22/5/2009,

I would have had to have been present at the time of the repossession.

 

I have in my possession Witness Statements confirming that I was not present on that day.

 

2)I note from your reply that

"it would not have been cost effective to secure a Return of Goods Order via the due legal process",

so the vehicle was repossessed without my consent, as I was not present on that day, in order to circumvent s90cca1974.

 

3) As regards your comments regarding not complaining to yourselves, or reporting the matter to the police at that time,

it should be pointed out that as a layperson,I had no understanding whatsoever at that time of my rights under CCA1974,

and in addition,

until I received your reply to my DSAR on xx/xx/xxxx, (which was sent in response to the initial letter that I received from GoDebt Ltd.)

 

I have never had previous sight of the VS document, so I would have had no matter about which to complain at that time.

 

Despite my extreme exasperation as to the tone and content of your initial response,

I am prepared to offer you one final opportunity to recognise,

and fulfill your obligations under section91cca1974, prior to my escalating the matter.

 

I therefore expect to receive your urgent, positive response,

 

Yours etc......

Brilliant, thank you for that. I'll get the typed up tonight, printed and sent RD tomorrow morning. Again, thank you so much for the help and advice.

 

On a sidenote, if this was to go to court, do you know of any good solicitors that may specialise in this area?

Hi all. Finally received a reply from private and commercial this morning,

 

please are a photo of this attached.

 

I presume my next step is to take this to the FOS?

 

What is the likelihood of this complaint being upheld?

 

Any help and advice, as usual, is greatly received.

as dx says they are not 100% confident in their position, so we are back to this-

 

 

Two choices really,

as it would be upto you as claimant to prove your claim,

Or forward complaint to the foslink3.gif, only postage costs involved.

 

 

The downside being if an ombudsman eventually ruled in their favour it would make a court claim much harder.

 

you may therefore wish before making any decision, to phone your local CAB office, and ask them to recommend a local solicitor who specialises

 

in consumer credit issues, and at least have a free half hour with him, taking with you all you have done to this point, so your case can be assessed.

 

there can be no guarantee of success with the fos, the more evidence you can provide to assist your case the better, but if you chose this route

 

we would of course assist in anyway possible. Go Debt will be unable to proceed whilst the fos considers your complaint. Will await your thoughts

Thanks for the replies everyone.

 

After having the discussion with my partner, I think we'll take the complaint to the FOS. It's quite "scary" having to put these things to court, and if we were to fail, we're not we could afford the solicitor fees that would come with it.

 

When we send this to the FOS, do we need to write a letter to fully detail out complaint and enclose very document we've received from both companies in relation to the debt?

When sending the complaint to FOS I would take the approach of a very clear detailed summary,

trying to keep things as clear as possible.

 

I would also be emphasising whether the actions of the company are "fair " or "reasonable" rather than getting into legal technicalities at this stage

- as it is unlikely that a FOS adjudicator will have as much knowledge as some of the posters on the thread.

 

They also make a point that they do not strictly rely on the law, more a case of what is reasonable.

 

I would certainly include as much documentation as possible, but me mindful that they may pass copies to the other party.

 

Then be ready for a lengthy wait before they make a decision

Excellent summary Andy,

 

Tiny, download a complaint form from the fos website,ensure that both the OC and GoDebt are informed that you have escalated the complaint to the fos

 

When you have preparded the summary of your complaint, post it up prior to lodging your complaint so we can amend if necessary

 

Follow Andys advice as above when preparing, and as he says it will take a long time

Hi all. Please see attached our complaint to the FOS.

 

Also,

we have received a letter from Go Debt on Friday informing us that

"as you are aware the limitations is due to expire" and they are giving my partner until 4pm tomorrow

otherwise they will issue court proceedings; that's less than 1 working day.

 

She has called the FOS who have advised they will be writing to Go debt to request a hold, but that it is only a request.

 

We have written to Go debt to highlight a few mistakes, and to reiterate that the debt is being disputed yesterday recorded delivery for delivery on monday.

 

Is there anything further we can do to prevent court action.

 

I believe the last time the debt was acknowledged (payment made) was on the 31st July 2008,

 

which would mean stature barred on thursday?

 

Can a CCJ be obtained in such a short period of time?

 

thanks.
