    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Northampton  Name of the Claimant ? Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account 4546384809766042. The defendant faild to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. The dbt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments? I was made redundant and got a less paid job I also spent some time on furlough during covid and spent some 3 months on ssp off work. What was the date of your last payment?  May 2021 Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

The courts say that they have added the information to the file and I also received the letter from IDR saying that they agreed to an extension to the time for me to file my defence.

I have received a letter from Link with a copy of what appears to be the signed agreement for this account.

 

They also sent a reconstituted copy of the credit agreement; however, it was pretty much illegible. In addition they sent a copy of the credit agreement as varied in accordance of section 82 (1) of the Act.

 

They say that this will now be handled by their solicitors, Kearns, who will move forward with the claim.

 

Do you have any advice on how I should proceed?

I will scan and upload the documents. The page for the CCA is a single page but since it is mostly personal information I will have to blank out most of it. Should I still include the CCA page?

 

Unfortunately they didn't forget that they already had a stayed claim, they are going to proceed with the stayed claim (assuming that they can get a judge to lift the stay). Apologies if I was unclear about this.

I have scanned in all the documents they sent me. If you need any or all of them in the higher resolution, please ask.

 

The CCA signature form was hard to read and illegible in places and the terms and conditions were illegible.

 

It appears that they received these files back in April but they only sent them to me at the end of last week and I received them yesterday.

 

 

When I was trying to negotiate with them earlier this year to my surprise they told me that they were not going to fulfil the CCA request while we were talking

and it seems that they really did hold off on fulfilling it.

 

I still have a CPR 31.14 request outstanding with them.

 

Please let me know if I have not obscured all the pertinent information.

 

Thanks.

Do nothing the CCA is illegible and therefore unenforceable without the courts permission.

Thanks Andy. What worries me is that they may have a perfectly legible version of the CCA that they are waiting to spring on me at the last minute, since these are apparently reconstituted.

 

Also the documents I posted were of much better quality than the files that are linked now but they were resized by the admins to keep the attachment size under 1MB. For instance the second set of terms and conditions (p 7-9) were legible.

 

Should I re-upload them 2 documents at a time so that you can get a better idea of the true quality?

The illegible ones provided are the originals. You could.. thank them for providing them, say you remember them being illegible at the time of signing and put them to strict proof to prove otherwise .

 

I had a case where the judge said the CCA was legible, so I cheekily asked him to read it, he read a few big title words but then before it got embarrassing conceded they were illegible. ordered the claimant to provide the originals, they couldn't case folded.

 

Have a search its easy to find and understand.

I received the letter below from Kearns Solicitors several days ago (Link_Solicitors_Letter.pdf).

 

In it they state, "As the bar to enforcement created by S78 has been lifted, and the defence having been removed by virtue of the compliant S78 reply issued, we are instructed to progress this claim to trial."

 

It seems like they believe that the documents they sent were compliant even though they are not legible and plan to progress the claim. Also they seem to have ignored the additional information that was sent in for the defence.

 

I am thinking that perhaps I should write to them to challenge the assertion that they have complied with S78.

 

Apologies to everyone. I missed the replies after Andy said that these were the originals. Please see below.

 

sorry about that yes please do.

 

Re-attached as Link_CCA_Return P1 - P4. The first three P1 - P3 represent the best balance of an accurate reproduction of the legibility of the documents and file size that I could manage so it would be much appreciated if they weren't resized.

 

They are not reconstituted versions...they are the originals.

 

The illegible ones provided are the originals. You could.. thank them for providing them, say you remember them being illegible at the time of signing and put them to strict proof to prove otherwise .

 

Thanks guys but reading the letter from Barclaycard (page 2 of Link_CCA_Return_P4_r.pdf) it says, "I enclose a reconstituted copy of your credit agreement together with a copy of the terms of your credit agreement as varied in accordance with section 82(1) of the Act."

 

I think that perhaps the first sheet P1 is an original and that terms and conditions (P2 & P3) are reconstituted. Is it possible that this is what Barclaycard did?

 

I can't be sure because I can't read them but when I look at the terms and conditions I think that they may not even apply to the card on P1.

 

Also, looking at the document in P1, would the lack of a signature from Barclaycard constitute an improperly executed agreement?

the illegible ones are the originals.

..the readable ones are the modern ones at close of play..

 

 

They have still not supplied your full set of terms and conditions to your original agreement.

 

They have supplied the signature page and the short FRC finacial related conditions

...there should be several more pages setting out all the terms and conditions.

 

Really Scrutinise para numbers .

.check anything you can read ie interest rates against each other and your own statements

. these documents nearly always have mistakes in them.

..don't be lazy on this, it could be your salvation.

 

 

 

I will have another look later.

Thanks Andy. Does this mean though, that if they can convince a Judge that they have satisfied their S78 obligations with this reply that stay will be lifted and the claim will move on to the allocation stage and probably end up on the Fast Track? Should that happen, will I have a chance to get readable copies of the CCA before the trial?

Thanks jack, I will go through it again.

On the interest rates I can't see any interest rates for balance transfers or special conditions for calculating interest rates for balance transfers

and what the interest rates would be should those conditions not be met.

Would this have to be in the Terms & Conditions since the balance transfer section was on the the application form?

 

There are some 15 sections and section 3 is the section on Financial and Related Conditions.

Should there be more?

15 - 17 paragraphs seems to be the norm on current agreements that I have looked at.

the FRC contains the main important (prescribed terms) points and are always part of the signature agreement or the agreement irredeemably fails. So check if your original statements % match the illegible FRC.

 

Because they have not supplied you with the full set of accompanying terms and conditions from when you signed the agreement they are still in breach of the s78 CCA. So yes there should be more!

 

Its illegible .... Its the most important document in the case and no one can bloody read it. Each and every word should be legible. The judge will know this but you provide the statute law any way. Google it it is simple.

 

Bank fodder is correct..Estoppel is a really good defence and one that Judges fully understand.

 

The full set of T&c's are from 2011 or whenever ignore for now.

 

The Default Notice deny you had one make them provide one?

Thanks again, jack. I will have to search for everything from Barclaycard to see if I have anything related to this. If there were a discrepancy, e.g. balance transfers not on Ts & Cs, what would be the way forward then?

 

Also would a credit card company have had to notify a customer in advance of any change in interest rates prior to the the changes agreed during the 2008 government & CC company summit and the 2009 law change?

 

Because they have not supplied you with the full set of accompanying terms and conditions from when you signed the agreement they are still in breach of the s78 CCA. So yes there should be more!

 

Would a Judge usually be aware of this or would they take it on trust that these are the full Ts & Cs?

I assume you mean that I would provide the statute law at trial - I'm trying not to let this get to that stage if possible.

 

In the Ts & Cs, I am trying to find if there is a part that talks about when payments are to be made but I haven't been able to identify it yet.

 

Bank fodder is correct..Estoppel is a really good defence and one that Judges fully understand.

 

Estoppel would only be used at trial, right? I had read elsewhere about people sending Estoppel notices to DCAs.

The Default Notice deny you had one make them provide one?

 

I asked them for the Default Notice in the CPR 31.14 request that I sent in March and asked them to show evidence of service of a Default Notice in the additions to my defence.

 

Would the clauses in any default notice apply only to the terms at the time the Default Notice was issued or would it apply to the initial terms? I am guessing that it would apply to the terms in force at the time the Default Notice was issued.

You need to do a sar to barclays this will provide you with a lot of evidence.

 

 

 

Would a Judge usually be aware of this or would they take it on trust that these are the full Ts & Cs?

 

No you wold explain to the judge there must be more than just the fRC or they would have had no right to charge you default payments fro example... Check the modern reconstituted ones to see what should have been included or read the consumer credit Act where it is written what must be included.

 

 

 

I assume you mean that I would provide the statute law at trial - I'm trying not to let this get to that stage if possible.

 

In the Ts & Cs, I am trying to find if there is a part that talks about when payments are to be made but I haven't been able to identify it yet.

 

It amy well say something like ...we decide when te payments start... make them prove it does mention the repayment schedule...

 

 

 

Estoppel would only be used at trial, right? I had read elsewhere about people sending Estoppel notices to DCAs.

 

AT trial yes but if you wish to avoid trial you could write to them explaining this..your call.

Plus that lovely statute you found to back up your estoppel makes it a strong argument.

 

 

I asked them for the Default Notice in the CPR 31.14 request that I sent in March and asked them to show evidence of service of a Default Notice in the additions to my defence.

 

Would the clauses in any default notice apply only to the terms at the time the Default Notice was issued or would it apply to the initial terms? I am guessing that it would apply to the terms in force at the time the Default Notice was issued.

 

Well if they can't provide one as evidence the Judge will find it peculiar... argued properly it can save the day. the statutes are mainly there to protect us the consumer.

I spoke to MCOL today and Kearns have applied to have the stay lifted.

 

What is more worrying though is that they say that they can't find anything on their system that says that the additional information for the defence was actually added to the defence file like they previously confirmed it was.

 

I have written to them for confirmation of the situation.

 

If the points weren't added then isn't it most likely that Kearns will go for a lifting of the stay and summary judgement?

 

If the points weren't added what can be done to rectify the situation other then asking them to add them?

 

EDIT: I should add that they lady I spoke to said that they had asked for the stay to be lifted and for a directions questionnaire to be issued (although I don't know if she knew this for sure or if she was assuming).

So you need a copy of the application and any witness statement in support to see what order they have requested...to proceed or to request summary judgment.

I called them again and it appears to be a request to proceed rather than a request for a summary judgement.

 

The file has already been sent to a judge so I'm told that they can't see exactly what it says or the reasons they have given for the delay. I should be able to get a copy when it comes back and the judge has made his order.

They should of served you a copy of the application anyway...you need to know what grounds are they requesting the stay be lifted and the reasons why they have delayed and let it stay.
