    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise
    • Right that's exactly why so many drivers got caught, it had been that way for many years then suddenly changes with no warning
    • The hearing is 25th June, I have downloaded items to different organisations previously but they do it a simple way and I just cross out private things with a felt tip and sent to an email address.  I have looked at the instructions for CAG it seems extremely complicated especially this about having to use a system MSPAINT.EXE that removes your personal information. I am hoping one of my Grandchildren understands things to give me help, I have shown one of my daughters she said she does not understand the instructions. I have a PC and I mainly use a lap top, as previously advised I only understand the straightforward things, sending an email and using my scanner to send a document that I save in a file or send it to an email. I will try and find someone to help me, thanks for your help you have given me so far appreciate it        
    • Yes, it would. Especially as they are supposed to put up extra signs to show that parking restrictions have changed, which of course they won't have done.
    • Right would that be grounds for a dismissal right there then, 90 seconds?! Lookingforinfo - you're getting crossed wires buddy, we're in the hospital thread here, the ICO complaint was my other appeal the Locton estate one   Regards

    • 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 cancelled the direct debit and the payment was returned into my account.

 

 

I've recieved copies of the original agreements from them.

 

 

Erudio have calculated payments over one year to reclaim the full sum based on what they have called 'the end date for the original agreement'.

 

 

Is there such a thing or is this related to their new terms and conditions (which I haven't signed)?

 

 

They called me on the phone (whoops yes I answered - I didn't know it was them)

and I requested further information about the end date but have not recieved anything from them about it.

 

 

I haven't responded again in writing following recipt of agreements and one of the new style deferral forms as previously they've ignored my letters.

The loans are a set number of payments. 60 if you had 3 or less loans.

 

End date is whenever those 60 are paid, which is not a fixed date. They can only make you pay what is left over one year if you have already paid 48 monthly instalments so have 12 left.

I'm confused.

 

I have had some debt in the past and on these occasions the interest payments on the debt has ceased once it has gone to a DCA.

 

Given that Erudio is a DCA

 

can someone explain why they can continue to charge interest?

 

1. These loans have been sold as ongoing loans under the original T&Cs, simply substituting in the buyer as the creditor. That means they have every right to do everything the original creditor did, including charging interest. Different to a DCA that buys up just the default/bad debt.

 

2. Besides that, it is a common misconception that a DCA that buys a debt in on MUST always stop charging interest. If the T&Cs or the original contract allow interest to continue to be applies, even after say a default, then the DCA that buys the debt can carry on doing that. It is just that many contracts either do not allow that, or DCAs do not bother to do it if they do.

Can anyone advise on the following?

 

I am eligible for repayments to Erudio for loans with SLC dating 95-97 however they sent me a schedule with payments for the whole sum over one year. When I write to them they completely ignore my letters and do not respond.

 

I will make payments when the schedule is sorted out even though I'm unhappy about it - SLC never took my benefits into account but Erudio do and that's why I'm over the deferral cut-off.

 

because they're not replying the situation is not being sorted out and they've written to me now saying that my account is in arrears.

 

If they can claim that I let the account go into arrears I will miss out on the remaining loan repayment being dismissed once I reach 50 in a couple of years time

 

. It's like they're deliberately ignoring me so that they can claim I've gone into arrears..

 

.. I've also asked them not to ring me and to put everything in writing but they ring three times a day.

 

Would it be a good idea for me to cover the repayments I've incurred so far by sending them a cheque without having recieved the correct schedule and just simply outlining the situation as I see it,

 

then making monthly repayments of what I think the payments should be?

 

Or shall I keep waiting for them to get their act together and to sort it out ?!

Would the loans be written off due to reaching the age limits in a years time then? They are trying such a [problem] with many people. Trying to make people pay it all off against the original terms so they can avoid having to write off what is left unpaid in a years time.

They stopped calling me and appointed someone to write to me.

They offered me £50 compensation for the poor response I'd received to letters I'd written querying the repayment schedule etc.

 

 

I refused the compensation as the matter hasn't been resolved.

They claim that the arrears are now owed in full and they will be issuing a default notice if I don't pay up.

I intend to write to them one more time to try and resolve the matter before approaching the FOS.

 

I've only just got my credit rating back onto a firmer footing after years of default

my question is whether or not this potentially threatens my credit score again

and whether I should worry about it

- i.e., pay what they're asking if I don't want that to happen?

This is what happened in the end to my case as highlighted above

- Erudio sent me a default notice and I paid the money.

 

 

They never accepted that the account was in dispute

- apparently only they get to decide whether an account is in dispute or not.

 

 

I made a complaint to the financial ombudsman.

I got a phone call from the person who had taken on the case

and she gave the impression of concern etc but it didn't last long.

Her final decision was to agree with Erudio.

 

 

Apparently the SLC had taken the lump sum voluntary payment that I made to offset payments

- I don't know whether I had any choice in the matter as it was some years ago

- this meant that they were considered to be ordinary payments so affecting my repayment schedule

- it meant I had 14 months to pay rather than the 60 that I thought I was entitled to.

 

 

FOS didn't respond to my question of why I had been sent a 12 month repayment schedule.

Neither did she respond to my concern that only Erudio can determine whether an account is in dispute or not.

 

 

she said it's up to Erudio how they want to run their company.

She wasn't at all concerned that they took over a year to respond to my concerns

- and that swiftly followed by the default notice.

 

 

the bottom line was - I wasted my time thinking the FOS cared a hoot.

I did get the cheque for £50 compensation

- FOS were happy to follow that through for me.

 

 

It would be good to hear from others as to how you got on with the FOS.
