    • 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.

I'm after some advice

 

Back in june 2008 I purchased a car from ACF financed by TFC by way of a credit agreement linked to a Bill Of Sale.

 

A week ago I received a statement of account from TFC showing the account still had a balance of £1300 to pay

(I thought the agreement was totally paid up and the car was owned outright by me).

 

On the statement was lots of charges for late payments and 'admin' charges.

When I added them up, the charges are more than the outstanding balance by about £400!

 

TFC have now sent me a notice of default sums, and

 

my question is how do I go about reclaiming these charges?

(they vary from £10 - £250 per charge)

 

Also I'm concerned as they might try to repossess the car as it was secured by a Bill of Sale

even though the balance is made up entirely of charges.

 

I can upload a copy of the statements if it helps

£250 for a charge????

Please can you tell us more about the charges. What are they for? How many of them? What is the total?

What do they say about charges in their T&Cs?

Share on other sites

hi BF here's the breakdown (hopefully it makes sense)

 

unpaid direct debit fees £260 (£40x5, £24x1, £12x3)

default fees £180 (£10x12, £30x2)

admin fees £1060 (£250x2 one of which is the arrangement fee, £30x8, £20x1, £10x30)

reschedule fees £100 (£50x2)

Option Fee £195 (this is a credit facility fee as per their T&C's)

 

total charges = £1795

 

outstanding balance of account of most recent statement = £1406

 

 

there is also a charge on the account for 'General Insurance' of £275.

 

I have no idea what this insurance is.

 

I did purchase their Mechanical Breakdown cover which was an additional £895 charged at 44.9%APR for the 60 month loan term

(even though I was missold it as it turns out the policy only covered the car for 2 years!)

 

cheers

cheers DX :) I've used the compound interest spreadsheet you linked to, and have not included the arrangement fee or credit facility plus the unknown insurance, and the the calculation is £1370 in charges with £2751.72 compound interest. Total = £4121.72 :jaw: ....does this sound right, as I wasn't aware the charge calculation was calculated using compound interest

 

cheers

yes its a loan ofcourse it is compounded

 

 

now lump the MCB & general insurance together and treat as PPI

 

use link 1 below and make a spreadsheet for that.

 

statint spreadsheet is at the end of link 1.

 

don't forget to enter EVERY penalty or PPI individually on their respective sheets.

on the date each payment or penalty occurred

Hi DX, can you post the link please as I can't see one...cheers :)

 

I've had a look at the bill of sale,

I requested a copy of the registered bill of sale a couple of years ago,

what they sent me was a photocopy of the bill of sale and a detached A4 sheet with Supreme Court stamp on it,

a six digit stamped ref number, and my account number handwritten

 

Re, the mechanical breakdown cover,

 

I should have mentioned that I made a claim in 2009 for a damaged water pump

which was paid for under the Mechanical breakdown cover,

does this invalidate a missell claim?

just a quick addition, I'm using the consumerwiki link for the penalty charges letter template, but noticed it refers to the simple 8% interest spreadsheet. Can you confirm which spreadsheet to use (simple 8% or compound)?

an update on the thread..

 

..I've had a final response letter from TFC, and they've told me to get stuffed!.

 

...it's in their opinion that the charges applied to the account and I quote

"we believe this to be a fair and reasonable reflection of our costs involved as a result of your breach of contract"...

 

..I've contacted the financial ombudsman and started a complaint as there is so much incorrect information in their letter....

 

1) The amount of charges applied is incorrect

 

2) the date of last payment is incorrect, it even disagrees with the date shown on their enclosed statement of account!)

 

3) they claim the default has been applied correctly and will not amend it with the relevant CRA's...

 

They didn't send me a relevant default notice

and certainly no linked termination of account letter!....

 

4) They claim to have made over 1000 phone calls to me charged at £0.75..

.if they had made anything like that amount I'd have complained about harassment....

 

5) they also claim that by signing the credit agreement and bill of sale initially this and again I quote "by entering into the agreement you agreed to indemnify us against all costs incurred in enforcing the agreement"..........

 

.....I'd be interested to see what CAG members thoughts are!..

 

...As I mentioned, I've raised a complaint with the FOS,

as I'm intimidated with the prospect of having to take TFC to court if 'm totally honest

a quick update, TFC/ACF have also turned down my claim that the Mechanical Breakdown Insurance was missold, so I guess it's time to take that to the FOS

 

Re. Penalty charges, the line from TFC is that they consider the charges fair, they have not charged any interest on them.........I have negotiated a full and final of £350 with them, and to be honest am inclined to go ahead with it as the thought of starting court proceedings fills me with dread!......as always though, any advice would be much appreciated!
