    • 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.

l/o not renewed, zero and clear done and finished

 

Get it in writing from Harrow council, that the l/o was cleared on receipt of your payment and nothing was or will be passed onto anyone else.

 

Harrow council should have told Newlyn what the score was.

We could do with some help from you.

UB it is not a matter for the council it is a prescription of the legislation, even if they had kept it the sum would still be due.

 

The sum under the collection order was the amount due, that is the sum plus the fees, not the sum due under the order,

 

Sorry just read my post and it is a little hard to understand, I will try again.

 

The sum due under the liability order, is due to the authority. The amount due after the liability is passed to the bailiff becomes the "amount outstanding"

This is the sum under the liability order plus fees( section 50(3)TCE).

 

This is then a single amount, it remains so until the account is passed back to the council and the order for enforcement has ended..

( section 50(3)TCE).

 

(3)The amount outstanding is the sum of these—

(a)the amount of the debt which remains unpaid (or an amount that the creditor agrees to accept in full satisfaction of the debt);

 

"the amount of the debt that remains unpaid"...when the enforcement action took place the debt was zero. Even bailiff documentation breaks down, separates and differentiates the two terms debt and fees, so you know they are not one and the same.

Being a little selictive here the section really reads

 

50(1)Proceeds from the exercise of an enforcement power must be used to pay the amount outstanding.

(2)Proceeds are any of these—

(a)proceeds of sale or disposal of controlled goods;

(b)money taken in exercise of the power, if paragraph 37(1) does not apply to it.

(3)The amount outstanding is the sum of these

(a)the amount of the debt which remains unpaid (or an amount that the creditor agrees to accept in full satisfaction of the debt);

(b)any amounts recoverable out of proceeds in accordance with regulations under paragraph 62 (costs).

 

62(1)Regulations may make provision for the recovery by any person from the debtor of amounts in respect of costs of enforcement-related services.

It is most unusual for ordinary members of the public to be aware of specific legislation regarding bailiff enforcement and rarer still, to be aware of 'Schedule 12' of the Tribunal Courts and Enforcement Act 2007.

 

It would seem that you have sourced information from the internet and in doing so, had the misfortune to come across misleading information that only provides a small 'section' of legisaltion. For example; Item 50(3) does NOT state what you have written above. I notice that Dodgeball has provided an accurate account of what this section actually states.

 

I get the impression that whatever information you are given, you will dispute it. Accordingly, it is best to wait for the response from Newlyn Plc.

Dodgeball quoted the the section ( section 50(3)TCE). , because I dont know it I have to reference what Dodgeball quotes just to keep up with the knowledge being given.

So i quoted it and then it got more indepth as just that section was deemd selective but that is what I was told was the appropriate applicable section

 

I then question what is being said to gain understanding, "do you mean that "..........what has been quoted in said section means x y z.

I am not disputing the information but merely going over the interpretation of the sections relating to matters in real terms.

 

I thought the purpose was not to solely rely on Newlyns Plc to give their verdict on how they perceive legislation but to come here to get an overview on what is acceptable interpretation; as of course Newlyns are going to say they have made no error.

 

I have been told to wait for Newlyn to self regulate themselves.

 

The conversation has moved through various sections of legislation at present using and incorporating 62(1) which was not apparent when this begun, but I feel waiting for Newlyns to self regulate point of view is really putting the ball in their court, when it would be preferable to know what is, as things stand correct, by outside third parties perspectives not only Newlyn Bailiff perspective.

The bailiff: A 12th Century solution re-branded as Enforcement Agents for the 21st Century to seize and sell debtors goods as before Oh so Dickensian!

Link to post
Share on other sites

Your best bet is the 12 month issue, however it seems to back up my belief that the seizure was just a short time e after your payment, as if they were waiting for payment of the Balance.

 

Also that period can be increased if the court sees fit, or if there is justifiable reason why the enforcement did not take place earlier, which brings up BA question regarding changes of address etc.

i have spoken to the council but the person on the phone had no indepth knowledge of legislation they agree the date of notice of enforcement letter and agree it is over 12month that enforcement took place but are unable to address the issue as it was done by the bailiff and only end up saying phone the bailiff company.

 

The car is worth about £1500-1800 not on HP nothing owing.

 

Payment direct to the council 03/08/2016, enforcement of fees 10/10/16 there was no change of address. enforcing 52 days after the expiry of the notice of enforcement letter and enforcing 68 days later from payment made to the council.

 

I would have understood if the bailiff company had sought an extension so making it live via the court but they did not.

Likewise I can understand if there was a pro rata distribution and a portion of the debt amount was still outstanding but none was and is .

If i had entered into some agreement or arrangement with Newlyn but again I did not.

 

When the bailiff company are acting on notice of enforcement letter that is out of date and thus invalid, I should not have to pay of have any action taken against me or my property as per legislation.

An expired notice of enforcement letter should not be enforced.

No need it would hardly make any difference, the Bailiff would still want his fees he would just say until the account went back or they would be credited to his account.

I would have thought as you said "Also that period can be increased if the court sees fit" the party to approach the court in this instance seeing as the debt is paid in full to the council and the council have zero interest as they have nothing left to recover, the only party left to approach the court for an increase to the period would be the bailiff company as no other parties have any interest in enforcement.

DB is correct in saying the way it should happen is if you pay the council direct, and it is with an EC then the council should

pass the payment on, too the EC.

 

 

But in my opinion if you have it in writing that the LO is settled then it is between the council and the EC.

 

The council has made the mistake not you.

 

Also the council are responsible for the actions of the EC.

The debt was not paid in full,, the Bai!llf can make an applicatin under 84.5, not something widely known...

The debt was paid in full.

 

As you say if the circumstances were different and figures changed to show debt still owed to the council maybe so. But as they stand with the debt being cleared to the council due to the council not pro rata which is nothing to do with me and no arrangement in place with Newlyns and the date of notice of enforcement being expired; I cannot see where they are correct in taking action when they do not meet legislation as it stands.

There seems to be inconsistency in proffered knowledge being demonstrates here.

 

However if this did happen the op would loose a proportion off his payment to the bailiff In any case, as he paid whilst the debt was under an enforcement power.

but the council are saying they have not pro rata any sums from this payment to the bailiff company and they have accepted the payment and the account is now zero and paid in full the bailiff firm were left to collect the outstanding sums within the set guidelines of legislation .

the facts stand me paying the debt whilst the notice of enforcement is valid does nowhere in legislation increase the notice of enforcement period and the bailiff fees whilst still outstanding should for all intents and purposes be held under the time scale set out for the notice of enforcement letter being exercisable within 12months which still appllies and expired well before they began the action.

The fact is that you paid whilst the amount owed included fees, you did not therefore payy the full amount outstanding, you therefore still owe.

 

If you would have waited the extra few days the full sum would have been allotted to the council as by then tne power would have ended.

paying the council precisely the sum that the council has asked for does not extend to a fact of me making an arrangement in any way with a bailiff company, and the bailiff company cannot enforce where no arrangement is in place with them and the notice of enforcement letter has elapsed due to the 12 month period passing, this should mean that enforcing is going against what is stipulated in legislation.

 

If i look at it your way regardless of money owed they cannot enforce when the 12 month has expired and no arrangement is in place. They should have sent a new notice of enforcement which they did not, they lost the power to enforce once that benchmark passed. They should have checked everything is valid before enforcement and in this instance they were out of time.

That the trouble if you make the mistake they ramp up the fee's

 

If they make the mistake they still expect you to cough up

 

I will be honest

I do not think you will get any where on this, and have to pay to get your car back , and the amount will have gone up by another £110 at least.

cheaper for me to make a civil action against the bailiff firm to recoup the loss and present the facts as they stand. They can judge the facts and what is not acceptable. i will like to hear them over ride what they have put in legislation.
