    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

1st time poster needing help quickly

 

Got court claim form out of the blue from this lot for £6300 credit card with MBNA.

 

Never had any correspondence from Arrow at all previously.

 

Card was taken out with Abbey National in 1993

 

Need to respond to court by 9th August

 

Unsure what to do

 

i sent a prescribed letter and CCA request with £1 to Arrow

 

They sent my £1 back with a letter stating they do not accept that they are the creditor

and also said the debt had been last serviced in Dec 2010 but no evidence to back this up.

 

If they are not the creditor then why are they the pursuant taking court action via Shoosmith?

 

Who is the creditor then?

 

They have stated however that they are willing to assist with my CCA request only

and they will contact the creditor and get back to me in due course.

 

This is all they said they will do and any further correspondence I have should be forwarded to Shoosmiths.

 

My credit file shows the account with MBNA as "satisfied" but there is a later entry from Arrow showing default.

 

Only got 2 days to respond to court so can any CAGer quickly help me out with advice to point me in the right direction please?

Thanks dx.

I am almost in the exact position as with this gentleman

 

except I was employed but earnings were well down and priority was given to

mortgage, council tax, utilities etc. this debt was simply not affordable

due to the rapid rise in the APR and minimum payments.

(Looking back this was all around 07/08 when financial system went haywire)

 

My gut tells me to defend as I feel that the pursuer/solicitors are not playing ball

with requests and compliance etc.

 

Is this an attempt to scare me into admitting claim and not go to court ?

 

U

Should I ask legal advice from Citizens Advice or similar?

Notice to defend handed into court.

What do I need to do now?

 

I still await CCA request fromArrow.

How long do they have to respond?

 

Also do I write to Shoosmith requesting copy of what papers they say they hold against me?

 

Do I send a CPR letter?

Still not received copy of CCA request from Arrow Global. I asked for that on 25/07

 

i have to file defence case papers to sheriff court (scottish case) by thurs 02/10/14.

 

Is there a letter template on here that I can use to state defence of non-compliance? Or do I send a letter personally to court or do I need to do this via a solicitor's letter?

 

thanks in anticipation

Hello all

Sorry but Not been on site since case dismissed.

 

They pursuer simply did not turn up physically in court nor did they ever supply any evidence at all with copies of default,assignment,original CCA when requested.

 

They have however made another claim which is in court in a couple of weeks

 

This time they have sent a photocopy page with my signature and a 2003 date.

 

This is a fairly poor copy and has no reference to said account number at all.

It is NOT certified as a true copy.

 

 

Also supplied is a copy of t&cs but again this makes no reference to said account.

Also these t&cs have a later address on it.

I have moved house twice since original date.

 

The copy of account I allegedly signed for and the t&cs do not correspond together

 

Where is the copy of original t&cs when I signed?

 

 

I believe that a creditor must supply the original t&cs as they were when the agreement was executed

and must supply a copy of original along with any change.

The APR terms on original are different (lower) than what is on the later t&cs

 

I do not believe that they have been compliant with the CCA1974 and this is my defence

 

Any help and advice again would be much appreciated

Hi DX

 

sorry not been on site for a while. case has dragged on all thru 2015. Great news though.

 

WON my case last week.

 

Asked Sheriff for Decree of Absolvitor which he granted me WITH expenses !!

No chance now of a 3rd go now.

 

Fought this all along on my own. Had legal for a few months but costs had to found to keep then acting for me but that was not possible so defended this myself.

 

At each court hearing they never produced any evidence of proof.

What they had was weak and did not wash with the Sheriff.

 

Sheriff said Shoosmith was toiling after debate in October

where they showed no evidence of owning the debt by way of a Assigment Notice.

 

Sheriff even had the clerk check the original claim(that they failed to defend) for this letter.

Nothing in there either.

 

They then contacted me wanting to have the claim sisted while they wanted more time to try and get documentation.

This I refused and it went back to next hearing.

(I was even asked after court by their solicitor for S.78 letter which they said they never had!!!!)

 

At next hearing they asked Sheriff for more time and he asked me if I was happy to do so.

I declined and told Sheriff that they had ample time to produce evidence

and that he had already dismissed this claim first time round.

 

Sheriff was now aware that I was very inconvenienced by this process and told pursuers that.

I moved to get earliest Diet of proof hearing which was set earlier this month.

 

At that hearing they wanted to call a 'witness' to which I asked why.

Sheriff refused this as he said they were out of time to do this

and also what relevance would a witness coming up from England be)

and we went to the hearing on evidence.

 

The day before the evidence hearing I was asked by Shoosmith what i was intending to do

to settle the claim so as they did not want to go to court if they could.

I told them I was appearing. This was last week and

 

when I arrived at court I was told they were abandoning the case!!.

Sheriff asked me if that was ok with me

I asked him would it bring this claim to an end.

 

He said if he dismissed it then there was nothing then to stop them bringing the claim back a third time.

I declined this and asked him for Absolvitor.

 

He said he couldnt agree to that as he would have to hear all evidence first

and would have to arrange another hearing.

 

I asked why and said they had NO evidence to give and asked again.

After a moment of deliberation he agreed and granted in my favour.

 

 

At the end He said he was not happy with Shoosmith and was going to ordain them to appear the following week

but he did not as by then he seemed utterly 'hacked off' with them

that they kept this action going all year on no real evidence whatsoever.

 

I fought this all the way as they did not provide any compliant documentation or evidence of the debt.

 

NO letter of assingment.

NO confirmation that they bought my debt as part of an assingment deal.

NO copy of the original agreement with all the terms and conditions.

(copies supplied were incomplete, no account numbers, etc)

 

To all readers :

Fight them all the way !!!

Do not give in !!!

Make them Prove their claim !!!

NO COMPLIANCE ...NO WIN !!

 

They wimped out at the end.

 

I DID NOT
