    • Thank you for that "read me", It's a lot to digest, lots of legal procedure. There was one thing that I was going to mention to you,  but in one of the conversations in that thread it was mentioned that there may be spies on the Forum,  this is something that I've read quite some time ago in a previous thread. What I had in mind was to wait for the thirty days after their reply to my CCA request and then send the unenforceable letter. I was hoping that an absence of signature could be the Silver Bullet but it seems that there are lot of layers to peel on this Onion.  
    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

This is why its important to post any draft for verification.....its a simple error and I can understand your logic...but could you convince a court that you genuinely didn't know the virgin card was a badged MBNA? I suppose if you was unaware then your statement is truthful but was you unaware?

 

To change a defence involves an application and fee and consent of the claimant/court...

Apologies, I thought I'd pestered you enough by that point. Lesson learnt.

 

Actually, you are correct to a point. I had no idea it was an MBNA card for a number of years after I received it. I thought it was a Virgin Money and had no idea who MBNA actually were at that point - I thought maybe Virgin had changed their name. That's going back a while though and wouldn't be correct in the context of the POC - i.e. I was fully aware of the MBNA connection when I read the POC, but not when the card was issued.

 

Do you think it's best left alone, like I submitted it, and just hope for the best? Or worth changing it on the basis that it was a genuine error/mis-understanding?

Would changing it add any material value to your defence ? Dont forget you submitted your defence under oath a truthful account and response to the claimants claim.

 

If it were changed how would you change it ? what impact would it carry on your defence ? would it be more viable to admit the claim and withdraw the defence?

 

Hoping for the best is not really a good foundation to defend a claim and may prove costly.

 

 

Difficult decision...as you have found there is a skill in drafting defences.I suppose you could ring CCBC and ask if the defence could be resubmitted as there is a genuine error contained in it?

I will try ringing them as it's got to be worth a try.

 

In your opinion, does the fact that I denied the agreement outweigh the fact that a fully compliant agreement doesn't seem to exist. Or, is the whole point that I agree to the agreement buy plea non-compliance and no CCA?

 

Forgive my ignorance on this.

If they produce an agreement and subject the age of this agreement they may provide a reconstituted version along with statements and proof of use then you are up the creek....

 

If you had stated " it is neither admitted or denied " then that places the claimant in a position of burden to then produce a valid signed copy of either an application/agreement

 

If you had stated " It is admitted that I did enter into an agreement with Virgin CC on or around xxxxxxx etc etc....

 

then 3 comes into play. " It is denied 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 with the*

Claimant; and

 

If they cant provide you have not stated an untruth because you admitted but they cant provide therefore they are then burdened.

Andy - I've spoken to CCBC and they've said I can resubmit via email.

 

I think one quite large penny has suddenly dropped with all this, and exactly I am trying to argue against.

 

Now, so do I basically go back and change the 'denied' bits to 'accepted' within points 1 and 2? Then, leave points 3 to 9 intact?

 

Your thoughts would be much appreciated.

Thanks Andy!

 

Re the point above - I cannot confidently say that I did not receive a Notice of Assignment, though I do not specifically remember receiving one. I definitely didn't receive one via signed delivery, that I am certain of as no credit company has ever sent me anything via this method.

 

Still ok to to proceed on that basis?

Hello! Sorry I've been a bit slow in updating this. I've received an acknowledgement of receipt of my defence from the Court. It states that it has been passed onto claimant, claimant has 28 days to respond, etc.

 

What now? It is just a case of waiting for any response or lack of and then act according to the circumstances that arise?

Shamrock. They have 28 days (from memory) to comply. If noting then the case become "stayed". It is now a waiting game to see how they will respond. Judging from your earlier post they do not have all the documents you requested and am trying to get it so my guess is the time will expire and the case stayed... Remember it is up to them to prove in court that this money is owed to them and all legal routes was followed. I don’t want to give you false hope so be prepared that at some point in the future (if the case becomes stayed) they can re-apply to the courts to open the case. At that point you will have to make a decision on the best next action. If the case becomes stayed, sit tight and do nothing until you get any correspondence from the court saying that they want to re-open the case.

 

I just want to point out I am NO expert here.. I’m going through a very similar situation as you and like you, probably under a lot of stress.. My advice to you here is this. One step at a time. research and ask advice... Andy and the other admins on here are very knowledgeable and helpful.. I really do not know what I would have done without CAG and the admins (especially Andy)

 

Good luck and remember you are not alone! Lots of us going through the same thing.. Chin up and stay positive

They will reconstitute the agreement, with a tick in the box if you did it on line, and unfortunately the courts do accept this.

If you have any assets, house etc. they may well put a charge on it.

 

Thanks. And, if I don't have any assets, such as equity in a property (perhaps they can still apply for a charge should equity ever become available)? Also, what about other creditors & arrears with creditors - will this have a bearing on any court decision (with regards to making repayments), assuming they rule that the debt is owed.

Thanks Flyboy. It is indeed a great relief to receive such support on here. I suppose you could say I'm a little stressed about it, but more leaning towards 'whatever will be, will be' and just make them work for whatever they eventually get out of it, if anything. I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best out of the situation. I have no sympathy for these people, considering their tactics to get people to load up on debt. I've paid them and others a small fortune in interest over the years, plus it's also cost me a considerable sum in other associated costs such as overdraft interest and fees, income tax arrears, etc., due to meeting the various repayments when I couldn't really afford them. I kind of wish I'd spent more and p*ssed it all up against the wall!! :-D Maybe that's not the ideal attitude to have, but hey-ho. Thanks again and good luck!

have you contacted anybody regarding financial advise and how to keep creditors off your back?

Go and see CAB, they give very good advice and can sort out your income/expenditure schedule and write to each creditor on your behalf to get some sort of agreement with them for your current situation.

They are very good.

Hoping Andy will look in on this. An update and some advice needed.

 

I received Directions Questionnaire N181 from Northampton CCBC earlier in December - it needs to be completed and returned to them this week. Also received is Directions Questionnaire from the claimant. Their directions are standard draft order.

 

I've read your advice on this thread - post #48 - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?391771-County-Court-Claim-Form-Loan-From-HSBC-MKDP-LLP-Claimant***Claim-Struck-Out***/page3

 

With regards to the form, would you suggest I adopt the same approach?

 

In terms of filing proposed directions, how would you recommend I approach this? My defence centred on the absence of a CCA and my request for the appropriate documentation has yet to materialise. Do I need to request anything additional at this stage?

 

Further to that - do you recommend I contact the claimant's representatives at any point to discuss any matters, or just let them do the talking?

 

As always, I'd be grateful for your help. I probably let this drag on a bit too long, but decided to get Christmas out of the way before knuckling down to it.

 

Thanks!

Yes follow the same path...you know your defence...you know what you requested. You should copy the DQ to the claimant.
