    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.
    • paypal, but i would like to know if anyone knows if there is a certain time limit they have to refund you? thanks
    • Dear lookinforinfo, I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but what exactly am I telling them? -what code/ law / standard have they broken that I will use as an argument in letter? I don't understand the premise of your argument.  I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me clearly and in simple terms so that I understand.  Thank you

    • 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.

You have no right to cancel this agreement under the consumer credit act 1974 , the timeshare act 1992 or the financial services ( distant marketing) regulations 2004.

 

This is a credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974. Sign it only

If you want to be legally bound by its terms

 

Is this the same as having your cake and eating it:idea:

  • 3 weeks later...

This is what he went into court with , ok i know its not professional but it seemed to work the oracle . Whilst I do not dispute borrowing money from Welcome Finance and also making payments to them, I wish to defend myself against the CCJ that was granted to them without me having any prior knowledge of proceedings against me. Welcome Finance have committed to using the legal process in pursuance of me, therefore I shall endeavour to use the same process in my defence.

I am aware that under the Consumer Credit Act 1974, an agreement dated 2008 cannot be automatically become unenforceable, however I respectfully request that you give my arguments due consideration. There are major contentious flaws in both the layout and detailing of the agreement. I have provided a blown up copy of the document and highlighted each area of contention

 

I wish to appeal against the enforceability of the Credit Agreement which should have been originally produced in court by Welcome Finance.

 

1 The box containing the following text. “This is a credit agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974. Sign it only if you want to be legally bound by its terms”

The purpose of this signature box is to provide proof that the applicant has agreed to the terms of the agreement, the signing of this box would bind the signee to a contractual agreement, and the absence of a signature in this box should therefore indicate that no agreement has been entered into.

 

“s127(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a) (signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor .

 

2 Quite clearly below the signature box are 6 un ticked boxes relating to insurance, payment protection insurance etc. Below in the signature box is the following statement

“ I understand that i am purchasing the product/s ticked above on credit provided by you and that the terms relating to the credit of the product can be found above and overleaf in this agreement. “ The terms and conditions of a credit agreement should be contained within the four corners of the document; there is nothing to reference any pages overleaf.

 

The box has been signed and witnessed at the bottom of the agreement. In effect the signature is an agreement to purchase nothing. Once again the signing of this box regarding ticked boxes above would legally bind the signee to pay credit on any ticked items. . That being the case and the situation reversed the signee is agreeing not to buy any products on credit.

3 At no stage throughout the agreement has it been dated by the signee.

4 As the agreement has not been properly signed, at no stage throughout the document has consent been given to share details with third parties. The sharing of personal data without permission is forbidden under the Data Protection Act.

5 The agreement does not contain a reference number binding it to any individual account which I may or may not of had with Welcome Finance, on that basis unless Welcome finance have a signed and properly executed agreement relating to the account on which the CCJ was granted then the attached document bears no relevance to these proceedings and should be ignored. In the absence of Welcome Finance producing further documentation relating to an account on which the CCJ was granted I respectfully request that you dismiss their claim against me on the grounds of no evidence .

I wish to highlight

38. I refer to LORD NICHOLLS OF BIRKENHEAD in the House of Lords Wilson v First County Trust Ltd - [2003] All ER (D) 187 (Jul) paragraph 29

 

" The court's powers under section 127(1) are subject to significant qualification in two types of cases. The first type is where section 61(1)(a), regarding signing of agreements, is not complied with. In such cases the court 'shall not make' an enforcement order unless a document, whether or not in the prescribed form, containing all the prescribed terms, was signed by the debtor: section 127(3). Thus, signature of a document containing all the prescribed terms is an essential prerequisite to the court's power to make an enforcement order."

 

A key point at Para [26] in Sir Andrew Morritt’s judgment is this;

 

“In effect, the creditor--by failing to ensure that he obtained a document signed by the debtor which contained all the prescribed terms--must (in the light of the provisions in ss 65(1) and 127(3) of the 1974 Act) be taken to have made a voluntary disposition, or gift, of the loan moneys to the debtor. The creditor had chosen to part with the moneys in circumstances in which it was never entitled to have them repaid;”

 

39. I would also like to refer to a written comment, which I feel is extremely relevant, from Francis Bennion the draftsman of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and a very well respected barrister who specializes in Consumer Law. On his own website he states;

 

“As the draftsman of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 I would like to thank Dr Richard Lawson for his interesting and well-argued article (30 August 2003) on Wilson v First County Trust Ltd [2003] UKHL 40, [2003] 4 All ER 97.

Dr Lawson may be interested to know that I included the provision in question (section 127(3)) entirely on my own initiative. It seemed right to me that if the creditor company couldn’t be bothered to ensure that all the prescribed particulars were accurately included in the credit agreement it deserved to find it unenforceable, and that the court should not have power to relieve it from this penalty. Nobody queried this, and it went through Parliament without debate. I’m glad the House of Lords has now vindicated my reasoning and confirmed that nobody’s human rights were infringed.” - 167 Justice of the Peace (2003) 773.

There is a signature on it Post Its my sons , but not in the proper place , under the following amendments , and i hope im quoting the right thing here The Consumer Credit (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations

2004 an agreement should contain 2 seperate boxes for signatures one for agreement the other for insurances etc , the use of 2 boxes is significant here , whats the point in having 2 boxes when a signature anywhere on the document would be suffice to enforce an agreement.

Post if they made it up would they not of put the signature in the right place? The copy we have is the original mate we have it from when the loan was taken out , Also they would of put a reference number on to it , if there are 3 flaws in it that you see then thats good enough for me . My wee lad said judge was interested in the wilson quote about monies being gifted if the agreement wasnt right. If that 2004 amenment has been ammended again can you post a link.
