    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business CEntre Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio i Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue –  15 Feb 2024 Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?  The claim is for the sum of £922 due by the Defendant under and agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a Capital One account with an account reference of [number with 16 digits] The Defendant failed 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 has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 16-06-23, notice of which has 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 the issue of these proceedings in the sum of £49.15 The Claimant claims the sum of £972 What is the total value of the claim? £1112 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I dont know the details of the PAPDC to know if it was pursuant to paragraph 3, but I did receive a Letter of Claim with a questionaire/form to fill. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? no Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes 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. Assigned/purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I was aware, I'm not certain I received a 'Notice of Assignment' from Capital One but may have been informed the account had been sold without such a title on the letter? Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not since the debt purchase, and not from Capital One. Why did you cease payments? I can't remember - it was the tail end of the pandemic and I may not have had enough income to keep up payments - I am self-employed and work in the event industry - at that time. I also had a bank account that didn't allow direct debits and may have just forgotten payments and became annoyed at fines for late payments. What was the date of your last payment? Appears to be 20/4/2022 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No Here is my Defence: Defence - 1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had an agreement with Capital One but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unaware of having been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) 5. The Defendant has sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request. 6. A further request has been made via CPR 31.14 to the Claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The Claimant has not complied and to date nothing has been received. 7. It is therefore not accepted with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant and the Claimant is put to strict proof to: a) show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement and; b) show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed for and; c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 88 CCA1974 d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim 8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed 9. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of section 136 of the Law of Property Act and section 82A of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 10. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief. .................. Please note that I had to write a defence quite quickly as I hit the deadline. At the time of writing the defence, I hadn't been able to find correspondence from Capital One, but had since found default letter etc. I submitted CCA request and CPR 31.14. However, I didn't get any proof of postage or use registered post for the CPR (an oversight) but did with the CCA request. I received a pack which included a letter from Overdales, going over the defence I'd filed, as well as letters of Lowells and reprints of letters from Capital One. But I have no idea if this pack is in response to the CCA request or the CPR ! I would have expected two separate responses ... although I do know they are both the same company. Looking over the pack today, and looking through old emails .. I find some discrepancies in the Capital One default letters (notice of default and Claim of default). They are both dated *before* an email I have stating that a default can be avoided. The one single page of agreement sent (so not the full agreement) has a 16 digit number at the top in small print, next to 'Capital One' which corresponds to a number called 'PURN' printed at the top of each of the 10 pages of ins and outs of the account (they're not official statements, but a list of monthly goings) yet no mention anywhere on either of the account number. I cant really scan them at the moment - I can later tomorrow, but that will be after the mediation call I'm sure. I guess I may be on my own for this mediation ... I am not certain the CCA request has been satisfied .. or if the CPR has been . And then I appear to have evidence that the Default notices provided are fabricated ? Yet, I do have (elsewhere ... not at home) Default letters from Capital One I can check ..

    • 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.

Probably because charaties are an administrative chargers wet dream

 

Registered Charaties cannot make a profit by law so they set up Trading companies that run alongside the registered charity

 

Help for heroes as an example

 

Their satellite company is help for heroes trading limited, ask them where the money goes while they drive around in their 60 k Range Rovers??

 

Ask yourself how much the Royal British Legion has suffered in donations since this lot came onto the scene??

Do you have any proof of this statement on Range Rovers.

The trading company brings in money by selling " branded" items

what is wrong with that?

 

It's Charities by the way.

First or all, I would plead to anyone not to be horrible to each other wirh personal remarks. The point I was attempting to get to is how some charities seem to be set up in such a way where a few people are paid Executive salaries while the needs of those in real need are not always met. In my opinion that is not how charities are meant to be..

Those figures have shocked me.

But what net was paid out after all deductions.On companies house files.By H4H

Let me think.

Kind of if 10 million net was paid out by H4H to good causes.

Well although wages seem extreme money paid out i suppose to directors etc would seem fair.To some.

 

It is like the advertising companies that charge charities a million up front to make a film.

But that film raises 10 million.

We may grimace but the money raised makes sense.To some.

 

So Mum Dad and Daughter are on roughly half a million.

Helicopter 250,000 a year roughly.A wild guess.

But how much net was paid out in that year.To the heroes.

I wonder.

I have no complaints if a charity director was on say 30k a year

But 160 k x 3

 

Talk about keeping it in the family

 

If they had spare cash it should go to the Royal British legion

 

People make donations to charities to help the less fortunate, also it makes people feel good about themselves.

I understand what you are saying.And understand how angry you are.And many i feel would agree with you.

It is like many things.

I have been involved in a charity show for Help The Heroes that raised 6 thousand.

And others as well to help people.Children many things.

Although the administration charges,wages,costs hurt the money raised is better than the alternative.

We have to live with it.

Although it hurts.

I hope i have put my point across clearly.

As you have my friend.

I like what your Avator means.Well thought out.

 

But say what you feel.That is only my view on things.

 

I know people that earn well over half a million and fritter it away on many strange things.

And find that hard to understand as well.

The more they earn,somehow they always have to increase the size of their house,their car.

Their Helicopter even.Clothes,girlfriends,boyfriends,holidays, it amazes me as i watch.

 

They single or married do more in a month than many save up to do in a lifetime.

 

I apologise i seem to perhaps have slipped off the topic.

Why are their so many charities and yet people are still in need ?

 

A good question.

Why are so many still in need.

Is it Governments unwilling to help their own people.

Do some receive aid then use for other things and not give it to people in need.

I find the question very interesting.

And at the moment finding it hard to answer.

When Cameron was first elected, he had talked about using the voluntary sector, which I thought at the time was a cynical thing to do. I hadn't realised it's all gone wrong, just found this article.

There is more money to be made in the treatment of cancer than finding a cure.

My own opinion is that these big drug pharmaceutical companies have probaly already discovered how to isolate the cancer gene, or turn it off, but there is no profit in being well. Only my own opinion though

I never give to charities and I explain why.

I grew up next door to the president of a charity which was suppose to be a voluntary position.

This man never worked one day of his life, but he enjoyed (and still does) holidays every month, powerful and expensive cars, mundane nights out etc.

Fast forward 20 years and his only son is doing exactly the same.

His first car, the day after passing the driving test was an Audi RS6.

So, if I feel the need to help someone, I help the people close to me.

Many times I buy a sandwich and a cup of tea for the local homeless.

Thick coat to a mum in need from my local parish etc.

I am against giving money because it could be spent for drink or drugs.

I prefer to listen to what they need and buy it for them.

This way I am sure that what I give goes to the intended recipient and not someone driving a £200k car.

I once had one of those plastic coppers try and give me a £80.00 fixed penalty

 

My crime was giving a homeless chap 50 pence for a cup of coffee as his need was greater than mine.

 

This plastic copper stated the offence was encouraging vagrancy for which i just walked off and he did no follow

All the stories above are the very reason I refuse to give to charity of any kind.

 

As very little of the donations actually make it to the people/countries/animals etc in need.

 

Adminstration fees?? You gotta be kidding, esp @ the sums mentioned plus a bliddin helicopter!!!!

Every time i switch on the TV or radio, there is an advert for a charity, looking to use Christmas feeling of guilt, as a way to raise money. Obviously people will feel guilty spending money on excessive amounts of food, drink and presents. So they are more likely to give to charity, as a way of compensating for any guilt they have.

 

Charities have to raise money to help those in need and Christmas is obviously a very good time to raise money. But i wish the charities would put forward a positive proposition, rather than using guilt based advertising. I want to know what the charities did with money raised and how much of each pound raised goes to those in need. If the charities had to reveal their basic administration costs, i suspect that the high percentage of such costs would put people off giving.

We could do with some help from you.

Charities seem to just be businesses these days and I get the impression that they view donors as potential cash cows.

 

I was shocked by the ICO fines handed out to the RSPCA and British Heart Foundation. They've both misused people's personal information and seem unrepentant about doing it, judging by news reports just after the announcement.

 

Why should donations go towards paying the fines? They should be paid by the people who decided to carry out wealth screening, data matching and so on.

I know a manager working for a charity who earns £80k/year.

My mum next door neighbour has been unemployed for his entire life but he's the founder and president of a charity.

He drives super expensive cars, takes extended family on holiday at least 4 times a year and for his wife's 50s he got her a gold Rolex limited edition.

He doesn't claim benefits.

I wonder how he affords all of this...
