    • 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.

then that with the PPI can be reclaimed.

 

 

you owe nowt

 

 

think you are missing the point.

 

 

the judge will be none too pleased that what they have taken you to court for is solely penalty charges.

 

 

as soon as you get the statements

we'll knock up the spreadsheets.

 

 

you don't have to have already paid them to get them back ..they are bogus

 

 

and any T&C's stating they are lawful can be challenged.

The SAR arrived this morning,

 

 

I've never asked for one of these before,

 

 

I imagined it would be a comprehensive list of what they have sent to me and notes on my account,

 

 

however they have sent EVERYTHING it's a massive bundle,

 

 

I am completely overwhelmed and need advice on what to do,

 

 

if I have to go through this it will take hours and hours!

take your time

sort it into say

statements

comms log

letters

etc.

 

 

I got a sneaking suspicion you are going to find this debt has been passed between companies several times

and they'll be loads of stuff there that you are supposed to have been sent

like notice of assignments or transfer of ownership letter

between their various companies that you have never seen and should have been sent.

Just typed a detailed reply and somehow lost it very frustrating!!

 

My last post was probably a kneejerk reaction based on the amount of paper work they sent (about a ream of A4!!)

 

 

I am pretty good at trawling through information and finding errors and misleading stuff

so I will just do what I do with work stuff, a little at a time and what you suggested put things in separate piles,

 

 

I did say before that these people sent me letters at the rate of 2 per day for a considerable time,

all the letters said the same stuff, also I was getting up to 5 phone messages a day,

 

 

in the end I told them that I would only respond to them via email (because phone calls are not good evidence if I am not recording them,

email have the time date etc.,) also it stops them from saying a letter was not received.

 

 

Also when I complained about the PPI they sent me a copy of the original phone call I made

and I know without any doubt that it had been edited, because not all the conversation was on it!

That's why I do not trust them at all,

 

 

in the end I had to threaten them under the harrassment law, that's when they stopped.

I have got a number of emails (from over the years) regarding my complaints and I don't know if they would help at all.

 

At the moment I'm dealing with some personal and professional issues (nothing like this though thankfully)

and I'm nearly done with them, after this I will start to look at what they have sent

(I'm probably going to need most of the time I have left before the hearing to do it lol)

but once again thank you for at least calming me down and I appreciate your advice and support always.

 

Denyse :-)

Hi Everyone,

 

Had a couple of hours spare this morning, so decided to look at the SAR and put documents in separate bundles as advised,

they have sent copies of 247 letters to me, which I cannot confirm receipt of as I have not kept the original copies to me,

but I sincerely doubt that they sent as many as this,

together with 50 default notices and other bits and pieces,

 

 

they also sent a copy of the original application which clearly states that I am self employed (mis sold PPI)

interestingly it does actually state the cover is only for 5 years yet the loan is over 8 years??

 

 

The most interesting documents they have sent however is the internal notes for the account,

most of it is double dutch to me because it is heavily abbreviated and I don't know what they stand for,

but entries do contain the word 'threat' not 'advised' as I would think this is more professional.

 

 

There is one document that is made out to my partner not me as the 'payer' and also letters which confirm my complaints over the years,

an offer to reduce costs as a goodwill gesture - which I refused because it was not enough,

and also notification that the PPI providers had gone into liquidation,

 

 

they refer to debt counselling agencies they are sending to me,

which as we all know is a glorified name for debt collectors,

also there is another letter from a company that I know nothing about, yet it refers to this loan.

 

All in all this is a massive job to sort through and as I said I've only just started,

I wonder if they think that by sending me a bundle of about 500 pages

I will just give up due to the enormous task of sorting through it and how confusing the whole bundle is.

 

Also they wrote to me today acknowledging the adjournment,

also sent another letter addressed to the tennant/occupier of my home

this letter did not have any kind of postage mark on it,

it was not included with my letter and I assume only reached here because the address was correct,

 

 

this letter advised the persons other than myself of the intention to possess the property

and advised them to contact CAB or local housing department!!

 

I'll post a section of the internal notes so you can see what I mean,

I should just say that I had to change my telephone numbers because of the harrassment

,yet there is a note on 22/10/14 that I had changed my number because I had moved to a new house,

I never said that to them and they know full well that I haven't because they have continued to send me letters to the house

they are trying to re possess!!! WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?????

Thinking now that this is just getting more stupid by the minute, basically do you think I should write to them stating I was not part of the Enigma code breaking team, and ask them to fully explain their 'secret language code' also I can see they have not responded to my request to fully explain their costs regarding administration charges, does anyone think a judge would look at this :?: just because of sheer volume??

They should have sent you a list of their codes and what they mean. If they didn't, then yes ask them to supply a list for you.

 

 

50 default notices

 

They sent you 50 - FIFTY default notices ?

 

Did you receive any of these, if so, did you remedy the breach each time ?

not a chance

they sent so many of these letters and notifications,

they state to me that they have not received some of my letters

so I will adopt the same attitude when it comes to court,

after all if they are asking to be believed I shall do the same.

 

 

The abbreviations I refer to are not like you see on bank statements,

they are a sort of personal code system between employees which they have put on their internal notes,

and I have decided probably not to ask them to explain this code,

rather wait for the hearing and see if the Judge is more equipped than myself to decipher it,

probably not and neither will anyone representing this company. Just a thought!

The judge will expect you to present your evidence - not expect him/her to decipher it for you. Don't start out on that foot - it's the wrong one and won't endear you to a judge. You'll be wasting their time.

 

You are entitled to a copy of the codes they use, and one should have been included in the SAR. Get them to send it to you.

Sorry the last post was meant to be facitious!

I wouldn't dream of asking a judge to decipher it for me!

Can see I need to watch my humour in future!!

 

Just to be clear

- the abbreviations used seem to be personal ones used between employees!

That was the point I was making plus I have information from other 'victims' of this company

who have also been subjected to this secret language,

they have already been to court and the judge was completely dissatisfied with this behaviour,

I wrote the post knowing this sorry :)

 

Sorry, but I can't sort this out any more I'm exhausted,

firstly the internal notes are so confusing nobody would be able to understand them!

There are 49 pages of them,

I thought at first some were duplicated as they had the same dates on them but different operators!

 

 

The charges just don't add up even by their claims and one note records me telephoning telling them about my second brain tumour operation

and asking for a payment break, they have noted this and it just says proceed with eviction!!

 

 

There is an entry offering to cut the cost of letters by 50% but I did not accept this and I wrote to them telling them this because of other costs and charges.

Another states that I had moved house because of change of telephone number, I have not moved house,

I changed my numbers because of their harrassment but I did tell them my email address so they could contact me,

but still they continued to call and I presume charge me for this. I've had enough of this!!!!!! but maybe that is their plan?????

 

Also it is the language they use in the notes, for example they do not say 'advised customer' they say 'threatened her'???????????

 

Can I just send a counter claim through small claims court and see what their response is?

dx - it does seem like a massive job though,

 

 

they mention daily interest charges,

 

 

they say they have sent 297 letters which I cannot confirm,

 

 

do I claim for the so called one off PPI charge

and then all the charges they are claiming

or do I have to identify each claim separately?

the PPI and the penalty charges are separate issues.

Decided today to work from the annual statements (much easier - I thought!)

again they don't make sense,

 

 

there are a number of 'litigation' charges and although the cost of these are stated in their t&c's (£250 I think)

there are three charges on the same day marked 'litigation' which amount to almost £800!

 

 

this was around the time I was in hospital in 2010,

surely they can only charge once?

 

 

Also the charges do not agree with the internal notes,

I know for a fact that they sent 'debt counsellors' to my home on at least 5 occasions throughout the loan (until I told them to stop)

yet there are no charges showing for this on the annual statements.

 

 

The new hearing set for 24/04/15 is for 20 minutes only,

 

 

I cannot see how this is possible due to the anomalies I have found,

 

 

should I let the court know this in advance?

Also the PPI amounts to £1497.00

and they have recorded the interest rate at 16.4%,

 

 

should I reclaim this amount with the interest or just for the lump sum?

 

 

The PPI payments were added onto the loan (they have sent a copy of the original contract where it clearly states I am self employed).

you can only reclaim the charges listed in the statements

 

 

if you were taken to court

and those charges are within the time of a court case

then you cant reclaim them.

 

 

for the PPI look at link 1 below

 

 

the spreadsheet is at the end

Maybe I'm not explaining myself properly, the charges are listed on the statements, I just wondered why there are three charges all on 16/03/2010 amounting to almost £800 when it states that court action is £250! I will try and upload a copy of the statement so you can see what I mean, also no links on the last post dx?

Does anyone know what an enquiry fee is please? There are 11 on the annual statements all varying amounts most over £60 some £34 and one over £70, I can't find anything in the contract which states anything about these payments and I never agreed to them! the last one was in April last year (and I was making regular payments to them then).

Thanks dx,

 

 

don't know what the hell they are,

 

 

also they sent 3 copies of solicitors letters to me yet have charged me hundreds for these (apart from court costs charged)

 

 

I am going to upload a couple of documents for you to see,

 

 

interestingly the annual statement on 16/3/2010 has nearly £800 worth of 'litigation' costs but on the internal notes nothing anywhere around that date to say they have done it?
