    • 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.

Thank you for the kind welcome and advice.

 

As instructed, I've completed a CCA request to Arrow Global, the claimant, and a CPR 31:14 to Shoosmiths, the solicitors.

As I'm not too good with computer documents and formatting and printing, it took me a couple of hours and help from my granddaughter to complete haha.

 

I'll post everything recorded and include the blank PO with the CCA request.

 

I managed to dig out some correspondence which shows that MBNA transferred the debt to Idem Servicing in September 2012.

 

 

I had been paying reduced, interest free payments directly to MBNA until that time,

but then no futher payments were made after November 2012.

I stopped them after learning of the transfer.

 

After that, I had contact from at least four more different debt collection agencies, each saying they now owned the debt.

 

I was wondering about how to submit my defence to the court claim as it is due by around 06/09/16 (in about a weeks time) but as I'm only posting the requests today, I probably won't hear anything back by then?

 

Thanks again.

prob twill be the holding/no paperwork one on many thread in this forum.

 

 

was there ever any period of 6yrs whereby you never used or paid for the card?

they'll be ruddy lucky to get an agreement out of MBNA for that date!

 

 

there was a large portfolio of mbna cards that were sold to idem decades ago

it appears these have now been phished on again in a list

and arrows are hoping they will get default judgements as they are so old

and people would have moved since last informing mbna/idem of a change of address.

No, I think I paid my monthly payments on time to MBNA whilst I was able to afford them, then when I lost my job I agreed reduced interest free payments with MBNA until they sold them to Idem at the end of 2012 at which time I stopped the payments all together.

 

I then seem to recall a succession of dc agencies contacting me to say they own it now - Arden, Fredericksen, Mackenzie Hall are a few I recall.

 

Due to my mental state during that time, I simply buried my head and ignored all the letters and daily telephone calls. I maybe should have manned up and contacted you guys earlier...

CCA and CPR 31:14 were sent as directed a few days ago. Obviously I've had nothing back as yet.

 

My defence is due in a couple of days but I'm currently in the middle of a 7 day 14 hour night shift week at work zzzzz.

 

Can you recommend an appropriate defence that I can use during my one spare hour when I'm not sleeping or working? Should I use the one you mentioned in your last reply?

 

Thanks again.

My first defence draft - needs to go tomorrow so any help/advice/corrections appreciated. Thank you -

 

Particulars of Claim (for reference only)

 

1.The claimant’s claim is for the sum off £1547.19 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under a regulated agreement between the defendant and MBNA Europe Bank Limited (No. xxxxxxx) and assigned to the claimant on 30/11/2015, notice of which has been provided to the defendant .

 

2. The defendant has failed to make payment in accordance with the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

3.The complainant claims the sum of £1547.19

4. C has complied, as far as is necessary, with the pre-action conduct practice direction.

 

Defence

 

1 The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and 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. I have in the past had an agreement with MBNA Europe Bank Limited, but do not recognise this specific account number or recollect any outstanding debt and have therefore requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1)

 

3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I have not been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

4. On receipt of the claim form, the Defendant sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement. To date, nothing has been received.

 

6. A further request was sent via CPR 31.14 to the claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. To date nothing has been received.

 

7. It is therefore not accepted 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 and;

b) show how the Defendant has reached the amount claimed for and;

c) show the nature of the breach and evidence by way of a Default Notice pursuant to sec 87 CCA1974

d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim.

 

8. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

9. 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

 

10. 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.

Thanks Andy and dx - defence just submitted with relevant account numbers to mcol.

 

What usually happens next and is there a rough timescale of likely events?

Do I need to respond or take further action if and when I receive replies from Arrow or Shoosmiths in the meantime or should I just keep updating here?

Keep updating here..although they have 33 days to respond and inform the court if they wish to proceed...if after that with no response the claim is stayed.

We could do with some help from you.

Quick update and question please.

I have received a written acknowledgement of my defence from the court (I assume this is standard) but it's been 14 days now since the CCA and CPR 31:14 were signed for as received by Arrow and Shoosmiths respectively.

Is there a time limit for them to respond?

Link to post
Share on other sites

Yes for the CCA request 12+2...not the CPR but they wont comply to either...so put it out of your mind until /if you receive notification from the court that the claimant wishes to proceed.

We could do with some help from you.

Just wanting to check - I've heard nothing from anyone (Arrow, Shoosmiths or Court) since October.

Do I just try and forget about it?

In your experience, is it likely to raise its head again?

Will they be searching for more documentation?

 

I know I shouldn't worry but I do!

 

Happy New Year to everyone and thanks again.

An update -

 

Over the last year, I've had maybe three further letters from Arrow offering a discount or installment option to help 'facilitate settlement'

I did not contact them in any way.

 

On 16/11/2018 I have received a large envelope from Arrow running to around 80 pages.

 

The opening letter states -

 

We write regarding the above matter.

Please find enclosed a copy of our notice of change of solicitor, a copy of which has been sent to the court.

 

As we have not yet received your proposals for payment of the account, we have lodged an application with the Court for summary judgement.

 

You will receive a copy of the application together with a notice of hearing in due course.

Should you have any queries in the meantime we remain available on the number below....

 

There is their notice of change of legal representative stating that Shoosmiths have ceased to act for them and that Arrows in house Litigation Executive, Hannah Rainbow will now be acting in person on this claim.

 

Then there is a copy of an Application notice seeking an order for the stay on proceedings to be lifted, and for summary judgement pursuant to

CPR 24.2(a) (ii) and (b) and/or an order striking out the defendant's defence pursuant to CPR r3.4 (2) (a)

The claimant pleads that the defendant's statement of case discloses no reasonable grounds for defending the claim.

The claimant further pleads that the defendant has no real prospect of successfully defending the claim.

 

The claimant draws the defendant's attention to the CPR 24.5 (1) (a) and (b) which states that if the defendant wishes to rely on written evidence at the hearing, he must file the written evidence, and serve copies on every other party to the application at least 7 days before the summary judgement hearing.

 

Also attached are 80 or so pages which comprise of their representative's witness statement and what they have titled exhibits HR01 to HR10 which are copies of letters from themselves, Idem and Capquest to me including notice of assignment, statements of last payments made to the account (November 2012), the signed MBNA agreement from 2001 and a 'reconstituted copy of the terms and conditions' all of which I believe I have previously uploaded copies of on here.

 

Today, I checked the MCOL site which had previously stated - Your defence was received on 06/09/2016 and it has today been updated to -

Your claim was transferred to MIDDLESBROUGH on 19/11/2018

 

This was one claim out of two I have with the same company at the same time on this forum but I am yet to hear anything further about the other claim?

https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?468970-Arrow-Shoosmiths-re-old-MBNA-c-card-account-Claim-1

 

If anyone could be kind enough to advise me on what this means and what will happen next and a likely rough timescale of things, I would be very grateful. Also is there anything further I need to do at this time?

 

Many thanks as always

Hi dx,

No the docs they have provided purely relate to this claim.

I have had no further contact or letters regarding my other claim https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?468970-Arrow-Shoosmiths-re-old-MBNA-c-card-account-Claim-1 since the defence was filed over two years ago.

 

They are two different cards/accounts but both with MBNA and both assigned to Idem at around the same time.

I was advised to start a separate topic for each claim on here.

 

Maybe Arrow are testing the water with this one before proceeding with the other?

are correct relating to that account. As far as I can recall, this is the first time that I have seen terms relating to this particular account

Hi again, Not being the most tech savvy guy, it's taken me 12 hours over the last two days to scan, redact, convert the files to pdf, save as one document and then compress following your comprehensive upload instructions above.

 

The pdf however still runs to 61 pages after removing all but the latest statements and measures 18mb after compression.

I just wanted to check that this is ok to upload now or do I need to adjust anything?
