    • 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.

had a repayment plan in place with Wescot for a few years in respect of my RBS credit card debt.

 

I recently started receiving various settlement offers and requests for account reviews so I decided to send off a CCA request to the DCA enclosing £1 cheque on 30th April 2015.

 

Today (16th May 2015) I have recieved a response letter from Wescot advising that their client (RBS) has requested that I write to them direct for my CCA request and have returned the cheque ?

 

Should the DCA have forwarded accordingly to their client ?

 

Are they in breach of my request as they should have responded within 12 days ?

 

Or should I be sending a CCA request myself to RBS but recall never receiving any agreement as part of my earlier SAR ?

 

Another issue is that should I be receiving some sort of annual or half-yearly statement from Wescot or RBS since the account defaulted ?

 

Thanks for looking.

Basicaly had a repayment plan in place with Wescot for a few years in respect of my RBS credit card debt. had or still have?

 

I recently started receiving various settlement offers and requests for account reviewspossibly an indication that they know the debts are questionable so I decided to send off a CCA request to the DCA enclosing £1 cheque on 30th April 2015. who owns the debt? DCA or original creditor

 

Today (16th May 2015) I have recieved a response letter from Wescot advising that their client (RBS) has requested that I write to them direct for my CCA request and have returned the cheque ?Wetcloths should deal with it I think, by passing on your request to OC. You could get into a game of letter tennis with Wetcloths, they will, from my experience keep fobbing you off, so check your credit file and see who the owner is. I'd personally stop paying the DCA until you get a true copy of your CCA.

 

Should the DCA have forwarded accordingly to their client ? Are they in breach of my request as they should have responded within 12 days ? Or should I be sending a CCA request myself to RBS but recall never receiving any agreement as part of my earlier SAR ?

Thanks for looking.

good luck :)

Have you checked your credit file recently? If so is it on there? if not do so asap, try noddle its free for life see www.noddle.co.uk

 

 

It may be that wetcloths know you are seeking advice now. You can always send one to the original creditor (OC).

 

 

Yes Westcott should have forwarded this to the OC

Thanks nunnyrose.

 

The repayment plan is still in place and a small monthly payment is made to Wescot. This was arranged through a third party debt management service in which was free through my old company many years ago.

 

This is where I am not sure who owns the debt now or if it was ever sold on by the OC. My CCA request was worded to that fact yet Wescot have not responded to it. Card was defaulted November 2004. Nothing appearing on my latest credit file so probably dropped off but on checking an old one in 2009, I see it has RBS and not the DCA.

 

As previously mentioned I had already submitted a SAR to RBS and on checking my details again I have found confirmation that an original agreement cannot be located. So no point in forwarding a CCA request to them ? Or shall I do so just for further confirmation ?

 

I have been advised of a balance but no evidence of contributed payments or any statements. Is there any template letters than I can forward stateing their breaches of Consumer Credit Act, as I thought this was a condition regarding submission of statements for a defaulted account ?

 

Any further advice would be appreciated as what to do next.

 

Thanks

Also thanks Mikeymack but do have latest credit file details and not appearing on there, older than 6 years.

 

Probably not worth it now as SAR failed to produce any RBS agreement of any sort.

Sorry, didn't see any reference to you already having submitted a SAR.

 

No point in a CCA request if you've already done a SAR.

As that hasn't produced the CCA.

 

If the agreement was pre 2007 then they would have a problem if this were ever to get to court.

 

Up to you what you do next.... if it were me I'd stop paying them anything until they can produce the CCA to prove you owe them.

 

(which you of know they can't at the moment because the original agreement can't be located. You can put the account into dispute for non compliance.

 

I think that as they have advised you of the balance, this counts as statements but I don't think it would be unreasonable to ask for (by letter, never speak to them) something showing the payments you have made.

Cheers again nunnyrose and no worries.

 

I will draft up an account in dispute letter for non-compliance - I am sure there is a template somewhere. Do I forward it to Wescot ?

 

So balance advice is persived as statement - ok but this has only been advised recently and not ever before. The debt is pre 2007 so stop paying now ?

 

Should I also mention that I am not paying the outstanding balance of debt even though I have been paying the DCA a monthly payment ?

Since they have failed to produce a valid CCA then you should stop paying them until they do. The debt could now be unenforceable in court. Time for a formal complaint in this matter.

 

 

Yes you should be receiving independent annual statements.

So send complaint to DCA ? Is there a standard template for this type of letter or shall I just draft up one myself ?

 

No statements either from OC or DCA since 2005.

If you wish to compile a letter of complaint then this is easy to do. Just stick to the facts and the rules issued by the FCA. Check out the hand book see here

These are the rules that all DCA's and creditors must follow

Don't get into the tedious game of letter tennis with powerless DCA's, it is pointless.

 

If they haven't sent you a CCA, OR you have it in writing that the OC cannot produce the original in court, then STOP paying,

no-one least of all the DCA needs to know they have failed to comply with a CCA request.

 

If you want to complain then make a complaint to the FCA who purport to police this industry.

 

You've been royally cash cowed here, and anything you've paid them since 2005, when they last sent you a statement of account, which is a legal requirement annually, will have gone into their profit pocket.

 

They've failed by returning the CCA request, the 12+2 days they had in which to comply started when they received the request, if they are now past that time then leave it at that, do nothing less for complaining to the FCA about all of the powerless DCA's who failed to send you annual statements of account.

 

Wetcloths can be ignored.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Thanks Bazooka for your comments.

 

I will send nothing further to Wescot and I will cancel my standing order immediately.

 

If the DCA didnt own the debt outright should the OC therefore at least been submitting annual statements ? My other concern is what if I have successfully won a ppi complaint on the same account, would it complicate matters ? Would it be deemed as an admission of debt ?

 

Sorry for all the questions but I just need some clarity thanks before I proceed with further actions.

complaints over provision or otherwise of the cca by wescot will lead nowhere, pointless exercise imo

 

when did you take out the card?

 

no harm in sending request to RBS imo, then you know where you stand

 

debt appears to still be with RBS, and afaik their current policy is not to sell on

Is it still worth sending a CCA to OC for clarity ?

 

Should I have been advised that due to lack of CCA that even though the debt remains outstanding that it is therefore unenforceable ?

I will ignore any future corresponding with Westcot's.
