    • 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.

They can advise their client to do what the hell they like. If they try to go to court with these 'costs' they will be laughed out.

 

If you haven't done so, report this to trading standards

 

As I am a belligerent bu**er, I would be tempted to follow the complaints route and then sue them for misleading me and harassment.

Hi and welcome.

 

2 choices.

 

1 wind them up with letter tennis

 

2 Ignore them as there is nothing they can do to you. Highly doubtful they would ever try this in court

 

I have just submitted a complaint to HCEOA as they are a member, the Notice of Enforcement letters are all over the place, I've asked them to clarify what exactly are they able to enforce as no judgement has ever been passed. I'd welcome the opportunity to go to court and explain this situation, I'd certainly make sure that I take these fake enforcement notices with me!

The important thing about the Supreme Court [2015] case is that they just reinforced common law (Thornton v Shoe Lane Parking (1967) Court of Appeal),

 

in that the liberal judge Denning essentially said if the clause terms are clear, ie £85 for going over the 2 hours and this notice is available in several places (assuming it's a large car park), then the clause is valid.

 

However Denning in Thornton also said the clause must not be too onerous, so in my view it's a balance of interests:

 

Thornton. The other case the Supreme Court [2015] ruled in along with Parking Eye was Cavendish, which related to a business relationship of 'restrictive covenants' (ie land agreements obligations).

 

Restrictive covenants' penalty clauses are enforceable and are not unconscionable for businesses, and this is pretty much the view of the courts with contracts, ie the contract is carried out to the letter of the law, as the contractors intended it to at the point of contract.

 

So, is the clause fair, ie not unduly onerous and is the notice available in several places for all to see. As Denning in Thornton said, the larger the land the more that it required.

 

I hope this helps.

the threshold for harassment is very high, I have sued a parking co once and as it was a counterclaim the judge told me that it would be heard separately but the liklihood of success would be low so the matter was deferred for 11 months 30 days to see what the parking co were going to do. As they went quiet about 2 days after their claim was struck out I havent chanced my arm.

Use all other avenues that dont cost you money

I've sent complaints to BPA, HCEOA and MoJ today outlining how they've misrepresented their authority at this stage and amending the Notice of Enforcement letters to make it appear that they have authority to enforce without a CCJ, not to mention their fees which they're not entitled to add. I like to think I'm quite savvy when it comes to these matters, but I pity the vulnerable people who will also have had these letters and paid up right away through fear of DCBL smashing their doors down to take their property. I will post updates if and when there are any. Terrible, underhand, immoral con artists.

Behind the scenes I have been taking the matter of these letters up with various bodies and I will be writing more about this in a couple of days.

 

Have you had any responses to date? I had a response from HCEOA who asked for copies of correspondence from DCBL which I've sent, they are now investigating. Fingers crossed, they'll be put in their place and stop abusing their authority or better still, if enough people complain, they'll have their authority suspended!!

The HCEOA are fully aware of these letters and indeed this thread. The Ministry of Justice have also been provided with copies of all letters (which includes further correspondence as well that I have received via email). I am just awaiting a response from DVLA which I will be chasing up in the morning.

Whilst HCEOA will not doubt take an interest in this it is the interim FCA license that this behaviour will most affect.

 

I too hope that the FCA do get involved however, I'm not sure they will due to this being nothing to do with consumer credit. They may act, based on their treatment of errant parkers and the possibility of using the same behaviour with consumer credit customers.

 

Has anyone actually reported this to the FCA? I haven't but I am willing to.

Yes I was wondering abut this also. I complained about a bailiff to the OFT before the change, after i was advised that most bailiff firms have some part of the business which is concerned with consumer credit or ancillary services.

They said that they would consider complaints even if the matter being addressed was not a credit issue as the terms of the licence refer to the conduct of their members, of course it went nowhere, complaints to regulatory authorities seldom do, just the usual response that they could not intervene in individual complaints and would retain the complaint in case there was future problems in the area.

Perhaps things have changed since the change over.

It's not clear if they are using Direct Collections Ltd's debt collection licence or another....

 

http://www.directcollections.co.uk/

 

I note at the bottom of their website page it says the following:

Direct Collections Ltd is registered with ICO No. Z1001339. Company Reg. 4307699.

All calls to and from Direct Collections Ltd are recorded. Working In Conjunction With Direct Collection Bailiffs Ltd and DFMS Ltd

The fact that the logo is a fist full of cash probably says all you need to know :!:

As DCBL are not chasing the 'debt' under the consumer credit laws, the FCA will have no involvement however, if they are also pretending to collect the charge using their licence, the FCA would be interested.

 

Parking charges are not consumer related debt.

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

Now we have the letter visible. Ignore it. They cannot claim £340 nor the £265 extra they are claiming. Any claim will be in the small claims and the costs are fixed. Sheila Tams knows this, NGP knows this an we all know this.

 

While it wouldn't be convenient for you or other NGP victims, I would like to see them try it on in court. They would have an audience if only to see this claim struck out.

 

In my opinion, NGP will not go anywhere near a court and will either start the process all over again or let it die the death it deserves.

Where is thier Consumer Credit Licence?

 

I was under the impression that this has to be on all communications that involve collection of money or debt. I cannot see thier CCL anywhere

 

This is not a consumer related debt therefore the FCA permission number wouldn't need to be shown. This is a spurious charge which in no way relates to debt or FCA registered permissions
