    • 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,

 

I too am having problems with Community Network TV.

 

I paid my deposit, having been very forcibly 'sold' to in my own home, last September 2013. By February 2014, they still had not managed to get the wording of my ad right in order to start showing it (all I wanted was 2 telephone numbers and a web address!).

 

When they eventually got the copy right, the equipment where my ad was to appear was broken, as it had been for a lot of the previous 4 months. It took them another 3 months to get it mended, so my ad eventually appeared some 8 months after my deposit had been taken.

 

I have been trying to get my deposit back from my credit card company, on the grounds that they are not providing a reasonable service, but have had no joy. I've also sent a solicitor's letter, informing them that I want to rescind the contract, but doubt that will get me anywhere either.

 

Three solicitors told me simply to cancel the DD and wait for them to take me to court, as they didn't want to take my case and the CAB and Trading Standards in Bedfordshire don't want to know, as I'm a small sole trader, not a consumer.

 

I've also contacted Watchdog, but got no reply. I spoke to another local business who got tied up about 5 years ago and has eventually got an agreement that he can cease his contract in December 2015, but this means he is no longer entitled to any changes of copy!

 

Please, if you hear of anyone even THINKING of advertising with this lot, try and disuade them!!

Hi JacqueyO and welcome to CAG

 

I've moved your post into your own thread (originally posted here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?398622-Community-Network-Advertising-Problems&p=4302625&viewfull=1#post4302625 )

 

Can you say where your ad was supposed to be displayed.

 

Has it been displayed properly since then ?

Hi slick132,

 

Thanks for your help - I'm not sure how the threads run and thought you just added to what is already here!

 

The ad IS now running, after 8 1/2 months, in a GP surgery in Leighton Buzzard. I saw it twice yesterday, in the 10 minute time frame they offered me, so they are now giving me what I paid for, but I still maintain the service is not reasonable, as surely advertising needs to be 'of the moment', not months later.

 

If you ordered a new kitchen and were told to expect to wait 6 weeks for delivery, you would NOT expect to have to wait over 2 1/2 years, which is how the timings would work out relatively in my case, based on what they tell you about waiting 7 days for a copy change to be effected!

 

The sales tactics employed but this company are heavy handed, to say the least. I would normally never dream of signing anything without looking at the small print, but you are not really given any time to think, let alone read the very small print on the back of the A4 sized contract.

 

The first thing I read on the Ts & Cs was that the contract was not cancellable,so I didn't do anything immediately, even though I was unhappy about the decision I had made, although I was later told that they offer everyone the right to cancel, in writing, within 7 days. Nothing about that on the contract though..... :mad2:

Hi Jacquey,

 

Please use paragraph spaces so your post is not one huge block of text. It makes it much harder to read. :wink:

 

How long are you tied into this advert agreement ?

 

You really should have acted more decisively, and sooner. As they now have the ad running, you would find it more difficult to take action against them, compared to taking such action when the ad was still NOT running several months after it should have been.

 

I suggest you put them on notice NOW that you are extremely unhappy about their failure to place your ad in the agreed location in a timely manner.

 

Tell them if they fail to ensure the ad is displayed as agreed, you will consider them to be in clear breach of your agreement, which will be terminated forthwith.

 

I'd check the ad and equipment are running properly as often as you can.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry about the format of the text. I thought that others had written in long blocks, so followed suit.

 

I did start to complain after about 8 weeks, first in October 2013 via email then in November by letter. I was told they weren't breaking their contract, as there is no time scale mentioned - true! I wrote again in February 2014, following more email communication, putting them on 2 weeks notice to get the wording right - magically, it was done in a couple of days. That's when the computer equipment broke down, although it had not been working a lot of the time since November and I have details of all the times the surgery emailed to get something done about it.

 

I also got my credit card company involved in February, trying to get my deposit back, as I considered them to not to be offering me a reasonable service. This has just been rejected, again on the grounds that no time is given on the contract and they are still happy to provide the full contract, which is 2 years from the first showing of the advert. I'm challenging this, as this is based only on the grounds that the equipment wasn't working (which I was not even aware of at the time of writing to the credit card company), not my original complaint.

 

The solicitor was involved in May, just a couple of days before the equipment was eventually mended and the ad started running. The letter gave them 14 days to reply,the solicitor is still on holiday, so I don't know how they've replied.

 

Every time I have challenged them, they simply say they have not broken the terms of the contract, which, unfortunately, I beleive to be true.

 

I'm not totally sure how this site works. I wanted to add to the posts already here about this company, as I thought it was about sharing experiences. Are these posts also showing on the thread where all the other complainants about Community Network TV have posted before me?

 

I wonder whether we should consider all writing to the directors of the company, whose details I now have, along with financial information about the company and it's parent, or making a concerted effort to interest one of of the TV programmes, such as 'Rogue Traders', as 'Watchdog' doesn't seem interested. There are surely so many of us now who have a grievance about the appalling service and tactics used by this company......

 

Thanks for your help. :-)

Hi Jacquey,

 

I opened a new thread for you so your case can be looked at in detail without being spread through another thread.

 

Maybe wait for your solicitor to return from hols and let us know what they say.

 

Then follow this with a letter to CNTV telling them you are not happy with their service so far and that any further failures of their equipment will be treated as a breach on their part.
