    • 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.

If you have been traced to your current address and are the debtor named on the writ it will not invalidate things.

 

Ok great, I keep reading do many conflicting things. However, it's actually not my name on it either, it's my maiden name

Thank you for clearing that up, much appreciated.

 

Even though they aren't mine? - surely that would be clear that these sort of tools wouldn't belong to me.

 

Does this sort of thing happen a lot, or would it not be worth their time, knowing I'm on benefits and won't have anything of worth and even tools (that's aren't mine) wouldn't be of that amount of value

 

Yes it does happen and the rightful owner is then subjected to going through due process to show the goods belong to them. To be honest ..if you are seeking a way to prevent further enforcement then you should be looking to agree a payment plan either through the HCEO or the Court.

Perhaps I think I'm thinking too much into it, I've already explained on the phone I don't have the means to pay, I will happily talk to them through a window, show them benefit letters, what else can be done, as ploddertom mentioned earler, they can't get bloody from a stone. I literally have nothing of worth, they can't come into the house to take control of anything either

Yes I said I would agree a payment plan, however I do not think the creditor would agree to it.... So then what?

It will be a 'take it or leave it' decision for the creditor, however they would be within their rights to seek a frequent review of your circumstances over however long it takes until the debt is satisfied.

Thank you for your advice, it's very much appreciated.

 

If those chose not to accept it, would the HCEO then give it back to the creditor to do with it what he felt fit, and presumably charging him because he couldn't collect. Then it would be up to the creditor to instruct some other company to do the same if he wanted. Barring in mind that we are into the 5th year of original judgement.

 

You never know, he may accept the payment proposal

The Agent does not always have to pass your offer to the Creditor as a lowly offer can be turned down out of hand. As for a different address then it makes no difference as a HCEO may attend any address within England or Wales if he believes there may be goods belonging to the debtor that could be seized & sold to help satisfy the debt, however should he make a mistake in doing this then it could be very costly for him & his company. You mention it is all in your maiden name - was this the name you used at the time, unfortunately if you are the person concerned this would be deemed to be a minor error.

Thank you ploddertom. Ok so if he refused it without speaking to creditor, then what would likely to happen?

 

Yes I have since married, and changed my surname since the judgment.

 

The fact of the matter remains, I really do not have the means to pay expect the offer I would give. With no assets either. So my main question I suppise is what what happen if they don't accept my free and they have nothing to take control of. Will they just keep coming back? But surely that will cost fees for them to do so, and if I'm not paying them, who is?

You have asked the same questions over several forums and have been given the same advice on these. To cap your options as follows

 

 

1. Do nothing they may eventually go away and return the claim

2. Let them in to see you have nothing, they may return the claim

3. Admit the claim and pay

4. Complete the N245 and see if you can pay less over a longer time

5. Pay the claim over a period of time has implications of defaulting, more fees, plus you could lose your goods anyway.

 

 

These are the simple resolutions for you. On a point you stated you felt you did not owe the money, that was the time to issue a N244 but not now. Sorry for being blunt but asking the same questions a different way will see advice dry up for you that's all.

I haven't asked any questions on any other forum art from this one? I don't understand why you have said I have?

 

So for the amount of questions, and sorry I don't understand, I'm just trying to find help with the best solution..... I thought that was what a forum was all about, not limited.

Can a High Court Enforcement Officer force entry into a Defendant’s property?

 

Entering a Defendant’s home is permissible provided that the occupant allows our High Court Enforcement Officers in. If nobody is there when they visit, we cannot enter. However, if the premises are commercial premises with no living accommodation attached, we can force entry if necessary.

 

 

 

 

If a Writ is unsuccessful, it is normally for one of the following reasons:

 

 

  • The Defendant doesn’t reside or trade from the address given;
  • The Defendant’s goods would raise insufficient value at auction to cover the costs of removal and sale.

 

 

The above quotes are from here

I have just phoned the Burlington Group however, asking if they could send me a copy of the Writ, as I had already spoken to The court whom said I can get it from the HCEO. However, the Burlington Group have refused me this. First saying they didn't hold them there, then after me pressing her a little bit more regarding it, she then slipped up saying they do indeed hav them - miracle! - to which I said ok, that was my original questions and please can you email me a copy. SHe went off to ask her manager, and rther quick reply was no, they don't have to. I asked if the HCEO will have a copy when he arrives, and apparently he will.

 

 

Can they refuse me, why would they do this. They are still planning on visiting me, and charging me £575 to do so, even though I have said I will send them all the benefit documents via email now - she blatantly refused me. I just reiterated they will not be let in, and I will not be handing docuemnts out of a window.

Yes, the enforcement company is not a court itself so has no authority to copy and send out official court documents. The issuing combined court/high court WILL issue you a copy. Just any old county court or a different court to who issued the high court writ will refuse to give a copy as they wont have access to it so CANT give a copy.

In my opinion the HCEO company should provide a copy of the writ when asked to do so. It's their lawful authority to legally enforce so why refuse?

 

Whilst I don't have it to hand, I'm sure it covers this in the National Standards for Enforcement Agents.

It would show the HCEO was being correct and ethical, at least.

I agree, and we get asked for copies all the time, but I think its the court themselves, not the EA or his company, that stipulate we are not allowed to copy a court document.

In what way?

 

It shows they have authority to enforce,

 

Now Grumpy, if a bailiff calls and a neighbour tries to intervene can the neighbour be done for obstruction? Especially if he goes after the neighbour's car?

That's what the enforcement agent certificate does. That's the authority to enforce.

The warrant tells the EA what type of enforcement needs to be taken.

 

Yes, the neighbour can(seen first hand) The law doesn't say only the defendant can be guilt of obstruction.

Anyone found to be obstructing can fall foul of section 68.

You know the EA cannot take control of goods belonging to a person other than the debtor. The EA can easily find out via their office whom the owner of the vehicle is.

It has been shown recently on TV for all to see that the EA/HCEO can and do carry the WRIT/WARRANT albeit in an electronic form. On this show the HCEO had a printed version as well as a digital version without the Court seal, the defendants Solicitor was there and demanded to see the WRIT in its true form with the seal on it. The HCEO then obtained a true copy....

I'm afraid to say that if I was the neighbour, and a bailiff (EA) tried to levy on my goods for someone else's debt, I'd bounce them all the way to the kerb. Consequences or not.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.
