    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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.

We have an appointment at the CAB on the 3rd Nov to see their solicitor just for general advice.

 

The S.I.L I am afraid does not have a leg to stand on.

 

Because she has failed to over 2 years to keep my partner informed of any changes in his health, and his financial status this will go against her as a claim for her abusing her position as an attorney.

 

My partner is just basically refusing to sign the papers.

 

She can still register the EPA and carry on as before; there is no need for any of this and she knows it!!

 

The fact is she wont speak to my partner and she wont phone him either.

 

The solicitor is going to warn her on her conduct to date and especially the daughter sending me a message through Facebook demanding the forms to be signed is not acceptable.

 

At the end of the day the daughter is not on the paperwork so cannot get involved.

 

My partner will tell the solicitor that the sister wanting him off the paperwork because she claims he has had no contact with his father is a very poor excuse.

 

We are still waiting for the S.I.L to reply to reasons why she wants him off the paperwork amongst others.

 

I cant wait to see the solicitor though!!

Just a thought - Some unions offer free legal services - Is your partner a union member ?

 

Could be an option if the CAB solicitor turns out to be a wet blanket.

No he isn't but we are going to phone his legal expenses inrruance to see if they can take a claim on if need be, but in hindsight why should we get a solicitor when its the S.I.L who is causing the issue?

Short answer; You don't need to get your own solicitor on board.

 

However, it doesn't hurt to have expert legal advice behind you should things take a turn for the worse. If you can get this advice without having to pay exorbitant fees, so much the better.

Thanks for the above replies.

 

We are fully aware that the S.I.L could have easily registered the EPA with the Office of Public Guardian herself and saved on solicitors fees.

 

As far as we are concerned it is the S.I.L who instructed the solicitor not the father as he is not mentally capable of doing anything and doesn't even know what day of the week it is.

 

The daughter said in her nasty facebook message to me that the S.I.L is "scrimping and saving" yet on her Facebook page they are going off to Vegas for the S.I.L's 50th birthday!!

 

So we will ask the solicitor is the S.I.L paying the fees!!

An attorney can only claim for reasonable expences i.e. postage. Solicitors fees to get rid of an attorney who hasn't acted inappropriately would not be considered reasonable. There is a charge for registering the EPA but the donor pays not the attorney.

 

As to the FIL financial affairs, SIL is obliged to keep a list of all bank accounts, savings accounts, assets and an account of her dealing with each. If she hasn't done this or refuses to hand them over, than you could report this to the OPG.

We will be going to the OPG if the S.I.L does not comply with the questions we want answering.

 

We feel that as an attorney she has abused her position in the fact that she has not kept my partner informed of any health or financial decision in over 2 years especially.

 

We are fully aware that the S.I.L had carers going in for the father but never at any time did she consult my partner on any matter.

 

He wont be signing the forms anyway.

 

We still have had no response from her to date but we understand that she might be swanning off on holiday to Vegas yet her daughter claims she has no money!!

We need to wait and hear back from the solicitor as to what the S.I.L says.

 

We will be asking for a copy of the will because we are concerned that because the S.I.L has made the father solely depended on her, that we believe she has cooerced the father into writing my partner out of the will.

 

My partner will be contesting the will should anything happen to the father in the meantime.

I have some sad news.

 

My father in law passed away peaceful on sunday.

 

To date, my S.I.L has failed to contact my partner with regards to the funeral arrangements.

 

She is just avoiding contact in general as is the rest of his family!!

 

None of them have honed my partner to see how he is coping!! Families eh who needs them!!

 

As soon as he died, she was straight on the phone to the solicitor wanting to arrange about opening up the will.

 

To date, she has failed to contact the funeral parlour about arranging his funeral either!!

 

To be honest we are appalled at her behaviour!!

Hello there.

 

I'm very sorry to hear about your FiL, my condoleances to your and your OH. It's very sad that people decide to behave this way at what is already a difficult time. I hope you manage to attend the funeral.

 

HB

 

Thank you.

 

I've just been informed that she has finally made an appointment today to see the funeral people.

 

Hopefully we will know when we can go and see him.

Sorry to hear about the loss.

 

In fairness to the S.i.L. it would be reasonable to have a look at the will to ensure any funeral arrangements were made in accordance with the deceased's wishes - But as the attorney, one would presume she was already aware of these wishes. Also, a day or two to contact an undertaker is quite understandable especially if there is any outstanding questions from the will.

I've just spoken to the funeral directors and they said a possible date would be on Friday 7th November, but I will need formal confirmation which will be tomorrow as they cant get hold of the church.

 

Dont know to go or not because with the sister in law she might cause a scene or we will be made to feel unwelcome by staring!!

He has as much right as anyone to be there, even if only to the service if he wants to avoid confrontation. The funeral is not about your SIL, and I suspect that she may try to use his absence at the funeral against him in the future. Please pass on my condolences to your OH.

Sorry about your loss.

 

You have every right to go to the funeral, don't be bullied on this regard. If anyone treats you badly at the funeral it will be them who will look bad.

 

Thank you.

 

His newphew foned yesterday regarding attending the chapel of rest and to discuss the arrangements.

 

I nearly fell off my chair!!

 

I understand that the funeral is next friday, so the will should be opened and read shortly after.

 

We have applied for the mother's will and probate to see what provision she made regarding my husband and his sister; we will use her will if there is anything in there against his fathers.

 

We also believe that the S.I.L cooerced the father in writing the son (my husband) out of the will so she is sole beneficiary.

 

This could be why she made their father solely depend on her for everything.

 

Will keep you posted.
