    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. 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. 9. 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.

    • 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.

And what will they do if you dont reply within 14 days Sarah ? :-)

 

It says

You have alleged that the claim is statue barred. Section 5 of the limitation act etc etc.

 

We are instructed that on this case that the cause of action accrued when the agreement was terminated on 10/09/2010 therefore proceedings were issued within the 6 year period.

 

Ifyou disagree please set out the precise legal basis giving the date which you believe the debt is statue barred.

Well you have already submitted a defence which states its statute barred...if they think differently...let them proceed with the claim and you can particularise when and how in your witness statement at a later stage in the process...the court set the dates not these numpties...ignore.

But I no longer have proof of when the last payment was but I think it would have been 2008. I will just ignore them then and see if the court responds in the mean time.

They have to prove when and where the payment was made, how it was paid, how much was paid, and also that YOU paid it.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Sarah I got the same reply, word for word except dates. Do not worry you are almost certainly going to win this one.

 

If you want to know when your last payment was made then order statements. I paid around £6 for two years worth with my building society. Mortimer Clarke even told me when it was made as they don't care when it was according to their new laws.

 

*It is still worth your time to know when your last payment was made as the SB defence will just fail if it HAS been less than six years.*

 

Mortimer Clarke should be reported en mass. I confirmed with DLC, and DLC agreed that the cessation of contract is not a pointer for the SB beginning to tick it is either

 

1) No payment in six years

2) No admittance in writing in six years.

 

They are offering you a massive discount, that should be enough to tell you they are trying it on.

 

COMPLAIN to DLC, request a copy of the original agreement but word it as a complaint, my bet is they will uphold your complaint and cease collection.

 

Do this in writing under a CCA agreement and send a postal order for £1. I sent mine on a Friday and got a letter back Wednesday apologising. Note that the £1 is for the request and not a payment off the alleged debt.

 

MC are under massive pressure to get a turnaround for these unenforceable debts. Do not bother with them as they will say anything, and communicate in writing with DLC and make it a complaint only.

I have (and I do not recommend everyone does this) made multiple recorded phone calls to Mortimer Clarke. Never have I spoken to so many incompetent people all singing the same line.

 

The limitation act is triggered by (the latest event)

 

1) No payment in six years

2) TERMINATION of contract

3) No acceptance of debt in six years.

 

They have all been briefed with this falsehood, every single agent I spoke to. I got a callback from a 'lawyer' at Mortimer Clarke and they also confirmed that my alleged debt was not SB.

 

Any company that knowingly takes legal action on a SB debt is acting vexatiously and can possibly face problems being legally called a vexatious litigant. Any company that risks this so blatantly is under massive pressure. Especially one that relies on courts (ESPECIALLY bulk centres!)

 

DLC dropped my case and is currently investigating complaints, mine included, that MC are acting in this way. That's because MC blame (on record) that they are only following DLCs orders). I do not believe this.

 

I encourage you all make complaints.

amazing

though ofcourse it will prob be very profitable for them

 

 

we see less the 0.1% of claims here

 

 

just think of the 1000's ofclaim that this lot has issued on old Blackhorse loans

 

 

I believe most of then are to do with car finance

and most are to do with carcraft?

 

 

as that lot went down the pan hole

some got ahold of all the data .

 

 

and pumped it into a computer.

 

 

even if 1 in 50 either don't respond or cough up.

that's a potential few grand per claim to their pocket

 

 

will easily outweigh any fine they might ever get.

Exactly.

We will see very few cases here from the exact amount issued.

 

 

Most of these claims will win via default if the alleged debtor does not defend and most won't. And that included all stat barred debts.

 

That's why it is very important that the few who do come here, and I was one of them, make an official complaint.

 

 

In my case to DLC.

They will not confirm in writing that the debt is not SB if it is.

They will not proceed once you have informed the court and DLC it is.

 

So fight :)

I definitely haven't made a payment or contact in six years. I don't think I will be able to get bank statements as it was with another bank and that account closed years ago. Sorry I'm not very good at this! So I should write a letter of complaint to hillsden ? Do you have a template letter you sent that I can adjust using my details obviously.

No point in writing a complaint . it will be ignored. If you are sure its SB, just ignore everything but a claim form, then come here and we can blow them out of the water.

Sorry guys. I disagree (quite strongly). I have had two of these baseless court orders thrown my way and I wrote to both parties who owned the alleged debts and they found in my favour of course and both have issued me with recompense. You can ignore the claim and hope they pull out or you can write to them now and sort it.

 

I'm curious. Why wouldn't you file a complaint and then go to the ombudsman which gets recorded against them? We moan that dcas work this way but then do nothing about it.

 

Sarah. Write to DLC if you are SURE it is barred and complain that it has gone this far and ask for £100 compensation for your distress, you'll be surprised how bad they will want your complaint to go away. Complaining by letter does not mean you admit any liability and if it is stat barred it can't be unbarred anyway.

 

You can leave it but it'll probably be placed on hold forever in the court system and I would rather be sorted now with a complaint upheld against the dcas.

 

Mortimer Clarke won't do anything as they use the nuremburg defence but DLC will act.

Floydian, it is my understanding that a claim has been issued on this Statute Barred debt and that Sarah has submitted the statute barred defence - in which case there is now no requirement for her to contact the claimant at all ?

 

Of course she can if she wishes in order to attempt to make a claim for some compensation.

Thats roughly it but also the claim shouldn't have gone to court in the first place which is why I add a complaint. The more people complain then a bigger picture is given to the FCA.

 

Dcas are trying it on. This should stop them (in the long run).

 

I also find it speeds them up somewhat and stops the claim bring stayed indefinitely

But it didn't achieve me nothing did it Andy? Mine is sorted.

 

If my advice is not required, delete it but it's worked for me twice with both cases discontinued before dates are arranged.

 

No wonder this happens on mass when complaints are not filed.

 

Andy while I respect your advice if it is 100% stat barred she should inform the original debt purchaser, DLC. They might not even know what MC are pulling here. They are currently investigating them via my complaint.

Floydian we deal with 1000s of claims on CAG...a lot statute barred...we have a tried and tested process in dealing with them.I accept that you have had 2 claims and dealt with them successfully..in your own way...but we have also had great success in getting statute barred claim dismissed or discontinued without the need of even contacting the claimant.

 

I dont know with particular detail what stage you got to in your claims...but we achieve the same result without the need of ever contacting the claimant or informing the relevant financial bodies.

 

If you feel content that what you did in your particular cases...then so be it..and I wish you every success in what you are trying to achieve but every claim every claimant deals with the process slightly different and their approach varies enormously.

 

Statute barred debts will continue to be chased and even tried to be enforced..and with the greatest respect no mater how many complaints are made..I fear that it will never have any effect on the world of assignments and trying to pass off statute barred debts through the courts.

 

Your advice is most welcome but its not a case of one size fits all...unfortunately.

 

Regards
