    • 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.

if you can afford the poss loss (court fees/fixed costs) if lose (assuming small claims), and the 'stress' of litigation, then why not? cag will help if decide to do so.

 

Thanks for the that.

I am not sure what is meant by "avoid the DPA" the dpa is the regulatory path for any complaint of this nature and the court will undoubtedly apply it, there will be no avoiding it.

 

It all comes down to provable losses, or at least showing that you suffered losses even though they cannot be given a precise monetary value.

 

Then showing that your loss was caused by the action of the data controller.

 

In my opinion from what i have read I would take the £100

Thanks DB,

 

You are right. Most opinions seems suggest so.

Everyone that has mentioned the DPA in their claim seems to have come off worse!

 

The DPA seems to have been written to protect creditors and the CRAs, rather than the victims.

 

A simple claim for general damages under common law (eg. negligent misrepresentation) is all that's required.

 

The CRA has already admitted fault.

 

It will all come down to the judge, on the day.

 

Will they still think my case is "Scottish" (based on English judgements and ratified in London)?

 

Will they still say King is "too old"?

 

Will they still assert that Kpohraror's case was "too different"?

 

It's about time, the UK's judges just grew a pair. When faced with a fight between good and evil, they should interpret the law to protect the victim.

 

By keeping it simple, there's less to interpret.

 

The CRA should already have compensated the OP. It needs to shape up and not hide behind the DPA that protects it!

The court will still apply the DPA, this is the legislative path for any claim of this kind.

 

If the OP had no other markers, perhaps had made a credit application , been declined then told the CRA to remove the marker and they had not done so promptly, then she would have an identifiable loss on which to base a claim, as it is I do not see how she can get arround the provisions of section 13 and the accompanying case law.

It depends on how much you want to sue for. If you keep i under 10k the liability should just be the application fee, there should be no costs allowance unless there are exceptional circumstances, of course they may decide to up their offer to settle if they think they are going to have to spend money on council to defend an action.

We didn't mention Section 13 in our case. Neither did any of the courts. Proof then, that it's possible to follow a different, less precarious, path

 

Without mentioning the DPA we were "successful" (for the purpose of this claim)

You cannot just "opt out" of using the relevant legislature, there is no reason why a civil tort cannot use the same cause of action as a legislative breach but it would be otiose to do so in a case where there was legislation specifically designated to provide a remedy, no court would do it, unless it was an uncontested claim of course where an examination of the legal position was not needed.

We seemed to "get away with it" though and it did seem fairly simple. (Specific damages only fell through because the truth was erased in Edinburgh)

 

DPA isn't designed to provide a remedy, rather to protect the creditors and the CRAs to allow them to continue annihilating folks creditworthiness and worse.

 

It would be interesting to see a case, other than mine, that doesn't involve the DPA, just to prove how simple a claim for general damages can be.

Sorry Durkin, but this really makes no sense, the other side are already aware of the act, do you think they will not bring it up ?

 

The DPA does provide remedy, it may not be the one you want but nevertheless.

 

Incidentally the common law route would do you no favors even if t were applicable which it most certainly is not.

do you think they will not bring it up ?

 

I'm certain they will. They already have. They'll rely on it to pour as much confusion into the simple matter of a negligent misrepresentation as possible. The DPA has been designed to protect them.

 

If the prosecution doesn't rely on it and the CRA brings it up, it fairly proves the point.

 

The DPA does provide remedy, it may not be the one you want but nevertheless.

 

There may be others too that disagree. The DPA doesn't suit the victim. So many have tried and failed, seemingly.

 

Incidentally the common law route would do you no favors even if t were applicable which it most certainly is not.

 

Why isn't it applicable? It worked for us. Nice and simple. Common sense.

 

The CRA's could use a sense of common decency rather than hide behind the intricacies of the DPA.

 

Cheers,

 

Richard.

It just int the way the law works Richard, the statute is there to help decide on these disputes the court is bound to use it, it has no choice.

In any case common law would present problems of its own in this case, you still have to prove losses even in tort, in your case i think the award was uncontested, so there was no examination of the law in this area in any case.

 

I think that the lender was glad to part with 8k in the hope it would go away, and in the end of course it did.

hi dot

 

what do you think then?

 

looking back at their letter #108. from what they say it looks like, should there be a claim, they wld be looking to distinguish the Durkin decision (on the facts), and also use the DPA, in defence. whether they would be right or not...?
