    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

Overlimit charge - default fee plan int free - £12 (repeated monthly)

 

 

This first spreadsheet is the latest version of the statutory interest calculator and is used for Single Premium PPIlink3.gif cases. It can also be used where rollover PPI is involved, i.e. a new loan re-financing a previous one and where PPI is included in one or more loans. It can also be used for S69 redress calculation on any sum, like on a closed/frozen interest PENALTY charges claim.

Hi,

 

Sorry for the delay. Just going through this calculation now... and i have a couple of questions

 

1. Am i right in thinking that i should edit to remove references to PPI as this is overdue charges?

2. Should the claim TO date be the current date or the date the account was passed to Lowell?

3. This form when completed (and possibly edited, point 1) should be sent to Lowell, yes?

4. There is another charge (£12) for late payment fees, can this be included also?

 

Also, I'm wanting them to back date the default to a more accurate date. What would you say is an acceptable request here please? Would it be reasonable to request this back dated to when i stopped making payments on the account?

 

Thanks!

Dave

 

What i am thinking of asking them is;

 

  1. To provide the documentation they promised December 2015
  2. To update the default to the date of the first default charge
  3. To remove the charges and interest from the amount owing
  4. To reduce the remaining balance by 20%
  5. To consider this a full and final settlement and mark my credit file accordingly

 

If this is all pie in the sky please let me know, I'd really like to have this removed from my file entirely but I cant see them doing this from what i've read, maybe the above is more achievable? This would mean my default will drop off next October rather than in about 30 months if they bite

 

Note that I expect a course of legal action to commence which i am trying to intercept and prevent

 

Cheers!

 

Proposed letter may make this clearer;

 

To whom it may concern,

 

You have failed to provide an original agreement which is a requirement for this matter to be enforceable. Despite your letter dated 8th December 2015 clearly stating that the account is on hold you have continued to pursue this matter.

 

I therefore request that you cease and desist with this course of action with immediate effect or fulfill your obligation as per the aforementioned letter.

 

I would add that no sum shall be paid until your obligation is met and you can prove my liability. On receipt of sufficient evidence to that effect then the outstanding balance would only be paid after the fees and charges have been removed from the account and the default date is backdated to the correct time of an actual default.

 

In summary, if you are able to;

 

1. Fulfill your obligation as per the aforementioned letter and prove my liability in this matter with original agreements and statements

2. Backdate the default you registered against me to October 2011 in line with the correct default date

3. Deduct the unlawful charges from the amount owing, and the interest accrued

 

On the above conditions and with confirmation in writing that the above has been completed, after sufficient time that the change to my credit file has been updated to reflect point 2 above I agree to pay the remaining sum, less the charges and interest and less a 20% payment discount which has been offered previously

 

I calculate this sum as follows;

 

Sum Claimed £1,352.32

Total Charges -£ 204.00

Total Interest -£ 68.29

Sub Total £1,080.03

20% Discount -£ 216.01

Settlement Offer £ 864.03

 

This settlement offer I make to you is to be considered full and final and my credit file should then be updated as Settled.

 

If you agree to above terms please confirm so in writing.

 

If you are unable to comply with your obligation on the aforementioned letter then I request that you remove ALL entries regarding this account from my credit file at your earliest opportunity.

 

I just found this on another post and wonder if this may actually be all i need to do??

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

Account number – XXXXXXXXXX

 

 

After recently obtaining a copy of my credit file from Equifax I was concerned to note that your company has placed a "Default" notice against an account in my name.

 

Further to this I have no recollection of ever receiving such a notice, and I therefore require you to substantiate this data at your earliest convenience.

 

1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) consumer crediticon Act 1974 (s.77 (1) for fixed sum credit). Your obligation also extends to providing a statement of account. I enclose a £1 cheque in payment of the statutory fee, Cheque number 100171.

 

2. You must supply me with a signed true and certified copy of the original default notice

 

I would request that this data is provided to me within the next 14 days, if you are unable to provide this data then I must insist that it is removed from my files as unsubstantiated.

 

Yours faithfully

X

1. rename to penalty fees

 

 

2. claim to date is left as it is [should be auto updating each day via a formula

 

 

3. no the original creditor.

 

 

4. yes ALL £12 fees whatever they are

 

 

....

 

 

cant see any point in either of the two letters

certainly ye second one.

you don't chase a failed CCA to a DCA...

 

 

.

 

 

the default is jan 2013 so when do you think it should be

without going back over the thread.

 

 

don't forget a covering letter for the charges reclaim.

For the charges i find it strange that i am claiming for something i have not paid if contacting the OC?

 

I think the default date should either be the date of the first default charge (October 2011)

or the date they stopped applying charges (October 2012)

 

But the default was registered by the DCA not the OC

 

I really would like the default removed or back dated as much as possible, even if i pay for that.

 

Ta!

charges are notional as you've not paid them.

 

 

ideally the defaulted date should be your third missed/short payment.

 

 

a dca cannot default a debt

its defaulted by the OC as part of the sale process/tax write-off process

If the only the OC can issue a default,

then should the SAR i sent them not have included a copy of the default notice?

And would that not correspond with the final charge off date in 2015?

 

Its all rather odd looking on my credit file...

 

2010 - 2011 = Original OC card with lower credit limit with original account number - Monthly updates until settled

 

2013 a new account shows up under DCA

- This shows a start date of 2010 which coincides with the above,

but the ONLY record on there is a default from Jan 2013,

no prior and no subsequent updates

- this references the DCA reference number on the file and neither of the OC account numbers

 

These both show totally separately

 

That means that the increase to the credit limit in 2011

didn't result in a new account (or updates to existing) on my credit file at all..

. it should look more like

 

2010 - 2011 lower limit (original account number)

2011 - 2012 higher limit (new account number)

Then some transfer to the DCA took place i guess at the time of the default, start of 2013

 

Seems like someone stuffed something up somewhere

and i feel that i can probably use something to get the default removed but i dont know what yet!

 

Cheers!

Moorcroft only chase debts

so there wont be a NOA for them.

though there should be ref to selling to lowells or tax write off

I've been through the SAR again and cant find anything in there regarding a default notice, so I've sent them another letter to ask for a copy or, if one cannot be provided, then a reason why they cant.

 

I also cant find any reference in the SAR from the OC to Vanquis (or anyone other than moorcroft)

Hi,

 

Sorry for such a long gap, things have been hectic at work and so i've left this on the back burner.

 

 

In any case, Vanquis provided a default notice when i re-requested it (took three attempts in the end but they provided it).

 

Just got a letter through from BPO collections.

Any experiences of dealing with these chaps?

They offer a 40% discount on the amount owing if i pay in a single lump and a 25% discount if i spread the cost.

 

I managed to get the mortgage i wanted (surprisingly with a great rate!)

 

 

so i'm now less concerned about doing much of anything with this until an actual court threat comes through - is this a good or a bad plan?

 

Cheers!

Its a good plan, ignore anything from BPO and ask yourself why they are offering any sort of discount if they could enforce it in court and get the lot plus interest and stuff you with a ccj?

 

Only time you need to respond is to a N1 claimform.

They have your current address if theyve written to you so just keep that letter and any others safe for now.

Yep - keeping everything. Mostly repetitive nonsense from Lowells.

If they do send the N1 i'm not sure what defense i would have, if any? - It's old, but not barred

 

Is BPO a trading name of Lowells or have they sold it on again? (cant find anything to confirm either way online)
