    • 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.

    • 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.

I received an email from Harrington Brooks,

 

To whom it may concern,

 

Please take this email as confirmation that A***** is not and never has been a client of Harrington Brooks (Accountants) Ltd, Harrington Brooks IVA Ltd or any company within One Advice Group Ltd.

 

Kind regards,

 

so I am sending that along with this letter tomorrow. Please could someone tell me if this will suffice or if I've said too much.

 

Thanks.

 

Dear sirs,

 

I have been receiving letters for this alleged debt since 2013, and each time I have requested the same evidence from you and your other companies – none has been given. You have continued to maintain that this debt is mine and that I have made a payment towards it. This is the last response from me with regard this debt. It is not mine, and furthermore it is statute barred.

 

I wrote to you back in February and again in March to inform you that an alleged debt that you were collecting on behalf of Arrow global/Vodafone, was not mine. Furthermore, any debt would clearly be statute barred. There is no mention of this on any of my credit reports. I asked that you provide evidence that the debt wasn't statute barred, but this still has not been provided within the 21 days .

 

Today 27th April 2015 I received a letter from yourselves -Rossendales informing me that the debt was not statute barred due to Arrow Global receiving a payment for £6.33 in Aug 2013, by bacs from Harrington Brooks and on my behalf.

 

I contacted Harrington Brooks immediately, who confirmed what I already knew – they did not make any such payment on my behalf, indeed they confirmed I was not and never have been a client of theirs. Please see attached email confirming this. I have also contacted Action Fraud and opened a case regarding your insistence that I have made a payment to this alleged debt. The case ref no: NFRC*****. I feel that you are not only harassing me, but you have also created a false payment to try and force me to pay the amount you claim is owed.

 

May I suggest you now contact Harrington Brooks to confirm that no payment toward this alleged debt has been made on my behalf, and that you then remove all details regarding myself from your and your sister company's accounts. The Regulatory Debt Collection Guidance states that “continuing to press for payment after a debtor has stated that they will not be paying a debt because it is statue barred could amount to harassment contrary to section 40 (1) of the Administration of Justice Act 1970”, which again should you try and proceed to court I will also use this as a defence.

 

You have legally notified me that you are the legal owners of this debt, therefore, I further request that when you confirm that you are no longer pursuing this debt due to it being Statute Barred, that you further confirm that the debt will not be sold on, passed to any other collector or returned to the previous owner, which will be deemed to be an action not in accordance with the FOC Guidelines on Consumer Debt.

 

Further if at a later date another company, either as a new owner or acting on your behalf contacts me regarding this debt, then this will automatically result in an immediate complaint to the regulatory authorities, without further recourse to your complaint procedure.

 

 

Sincerely,

the bottom line is

you keep harking on about the debt being statute barred

that's not addressing the really issue

being the debt was the result of fraud.

 

prob at your old address? by someone that moved in and got old letters with your details on.

Hi Lee.

 

The problem now is it's a debt owned by Arrow.

 

I've pointed out that they have already admitted that the only thing stopping this being a statute barred debt

is this mystery payment which I have proven was never made.

I've asked again that they stop contacting me as it's a statute barred debt.

 

They (arrow global) now want me to sign (I don't think so) a fraud form and state that it's not my debt.

I argued that I shouldn't/wouldn't be signing anything,

that they lied about a payment being made to try and restart the clock

and that I didn't want to receive any more calls (to home and mobile phone) or letters regarding this statute barred debt.

 

They insist that they can't comply unless I fill in and sign a form that they are going to send me.

This is a new one to me, and I can't believe that I'm having to go to so much trouble to get them to acknowledge that it's SB

 

I've already provided an action fraud ref no, correspondence from Harrington Brooks which proves the payment was never made

and a letter (2 weeks ago) asking them to now stop contacting me or I will report harassment.

Even if I had a memory block and somehow forgot about this very old debt, it's still statute barred!

 

I'd really like to put a stop to this as the phone calls are still happening as of today.

It is statute barred though, that's why I keep saying it.

Like I said, if I had had an old account that I'd forgotten about,

that's been incurring more and more charges over the last 10 years or so, it's still statute barred.

 

I didn't report fraud to Action Fraud because I suspected someone had used my details,

I reported it because Arrow Global have created a payment from me, fraudulently.

I want them to acknowledge that the payment didn't happen, that the debt is SB'd and leave me alone.

then that was a bit silly. then

report it as fraud by someone using your details from your last address.

 

 

the debt being SB'd, in E&W does not stop people chasing for the money.

until you prove its not your debt

they are within rights to chase you.

Well, in that case I'll do that too.

 

I don't expect them to write it off,

I expect them to stop harassing me by phone, that's all.

 

 

I thought that's what they had to do with a SB'd debt.

 

 

I'm happy to put letters straight in the bin,

but I can't do that with phone calls to my home and mobile.
