    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

Most claims involve submitting a witness statement if directed by the court...a WS is not a defence...its a supplemental submission in your own words to support your defence.

Yes you will serve your disclosure list and witness statement simultaneously with the court and claimant by the date stated (this is anything you wish to rely on or have referred to in your defence/witness statement) CPR /CCA requests and any responses.

 

Your witness statement as stated is a particularised version in your own words of the claim summary (Your Defence)....search witness statements in the search box to get an idea of form content and layout.

 

Have a go at drafting it and post here...we can then verify check and tweak if necessary.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Claimant

Lowell Portfolio Ltd

 

AND

Defendant

Mr .............

_________________________________

 

WITNESS STATEMENT OF MR

_________________________________

 

 

 

I ..............., being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;

 

I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim.

 

1. On or around the 12th December 2014, I received a claims form from the County Court Business Centre, Northampton, for the amount of £818.82.

 

2. There were no details about when the alleged default occurred, the degree of default or details as to how the sums claimed have accrued.

 

3. The particulars of claim fail to state when the agreement was entered into.

 

4. The particulars of claim state that this claim is for “an agreement between the original creditor and the defendant to provide financial and/or services and/or goods”. I have no idea what this is.

 

5. On 2nd January I contacted Bryan Carter Solicitor explaining that the Limitation Act 1980 Section 5 exempts the above due to the six years rule.

 

6. On 6th January 2015 Bryan Carter Solicitors replied that the account was not statute barred. [EXHIBIT C]

 

5. On 15th December 2014 I made a formal written request to the Claimant solicitors requesting that the Claimant provides copies of all documents mentioned in the statement of case [EXHIBIT A].

 

6. On the 12th January 2015 I made a formal written request to the Claimant for them to provide me with a copy of my Consumer Credit Agreement as entitled to do so under sections 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 [EXHIBIT B].

 

8. I have not received any of the documents mentioned in the claimants claim form.

 

9. The Claimant has mentioned the credit Agreement, the default Notice and the assignment in its Statement of Case and yet it has provided none of these documents despite my entitlement to inspect these documents.

 

10. The Claimants pleaded case is that the Defendant entered into an agreement with Halifax under account reference number .........

I am uncertain as to which account this refers to. It is accepted that I have had banking products with Halifax in the past

however the account number given does not relate to any information I have, therefore it is essential that I have sight of the agreement

relied upon by the Claimant to be able to accurately identify to what the claim refers.

 

Statement of Truth

 

I, ........., the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true.

Amendments in red yorkie...Im just a little concerned that you plead no knowledge of said debt yet you state that you informed Mr Carter that its Statute Barred...therefore you do know what it is.

 

So points 5 & 6 needs attention and needs to be re drafted.....Ill come back to that later

 

Also if this is a current account there is no such thing as a default notice...it is a recall demand notice .....Notice served under Sections 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974

The last time I used this Halifax Account was February 2007, I know this for certain because I was on benefits and I wrote to my local office for a change of bank...

 

 

from post 32

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Do I send the papers to the court where the hearing is taking place please Andy.......

 

You serve a copy on the claimant and the court which is now dealing with your claim...along with your standard disclosure.

 

If the debt is statute barred...then the above would require a total re draft...dont submit anything until I get chance to re draft it.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]56837[/ATTACH]Hello again Andy,

 

 

I am uploading an email reply from Carter,

 

 

can you peruse it and maybe give a little more advice please,

 

 

I am a little worried that I may miss the deadline or even forget about contacting you again as I have a terrible memory....

Dont worry about that...they may have only defaulted on that date...but the account has been dormant since 2008...if they wish to misreport information to the ICO and CRAs.

 

From the ICO website ... " we still expect the CRAs to take reasonable measures to ensure the information that is reported by lenders via their credit files is accurate ".

 

http://www.scoronline.co.uk/files/scor/high_level_prinicples_document_final.pdf

 

You proceed to argue the Statute of Limitations...they will have to explain why the OC cause of action and default recording is inaccurate.(by almost 3 years)
