    • 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.

Hi,

 

I will try to keep this brief, have received county court claim from Lowells for credit card, I have already acknowledged service with intention to defend, sent CPR18 and CCA request but not submitted defence yet still have 2 weeks for that, what I need advice on is regarding the letter I have had back from Lowells as this could affect the defence I put in.

 

They have not as yet produced any documentation that has been asked for and have said I am not entitled to deed of assignment as this is confidential, but below is what they say regarding the account and I paraphrase.

 

The account was opened in 2007. The address they give for where it was opened I did not actually live there until 2009!!, would this have any relevance for defence I can prove that point?

 

The last payment on account was in 2012, however I know that the credit card company took the money out of my account and as I did not recognise the activity on my account because the d/d mandate was so old, my bank recalled the payment and put back in to my account, my question is and this is important, does this constitute a payment as if not it would be SB

 

They also said a default was registered on my credit file in 2012, obviously I have my credit files from all agencies (yes I am that anal lol) but there is no default at all from that date, the only one on there is one put on by Lowells not the cc company in 2014.

 

Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated

Hi, thanks for reply

 

Name of claimant: Lowell Portfolio 1 ltd

Date of issue: 19th Jan 2017

 

Particulars of claim:

 

1.The defendant entered into a Consumer Credit act 1974 regulated agreement with Capital one under account ref xxxxxxxxxxxx ('the agreement))

The defendant failed to maintain the required payments and a default notice was served and not complied with.

2.The agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 23/11/2012 and notice given to the defendant

Despite repeated requests for payment the sum of £1650 remains due and outstanding.

3.And the claimant claims:

The said sum of £1650, interest pursuant to s69 county courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue accruing at a daily rate of £xxxbut limited to one year being £xxxx

 

Total value of claim; £1960 inc costs

 

Claim issued by Debt purchaser not original creditor

No notice of assignment received

No default that I am aware from original creditor

No statutory notices headed notice of default that I am aware

 

Payments ceased circa 2008

as I left my husband,

he was the guilty party and he sent message with daughter to say he had paid debts,

moved several times after split so any letters either never reached me or could have been sent back as gone away.

 

 

I believe my last payment would have been 2008,

however as my original question posted they have a recalled d/d in 2012,

I do remember getting a snotty letter from Cap one because they had not been paid but I no longer have it

 

No communication entered into with either Cap one or Lowells at any time,

it was a horrible time in my life and I did bury head in sand quite a lot.

 

Have done everything else as suggested

 

Many thanks

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007?

 

You cant send a CPR18 request its not applicable to small claims..only Fast Track.

 

Have you sent a CPR 31.14 and CCA section78 request ?

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you I will, have it all marked up on calendar, just want to give them time to reply before I put defence in as I do not think they will have the paperwork but I want to be seen to be reasonable and give them chance to find it.

 

Do Lowells see your defence once you have put it in to court?

might be an idea to go ring cap1 and ask last payment date

 

 

if you can prove it was outside of 6yrs then you can file our statute barred defence

and that should kill the claim dead.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

This might sound a daft question

but would I just ring Caps 1 general customer service line,

would they be able to find it from there?

 

 

I do have the old card number in question as Lowells kindly supplied that.

 

My only reluctance to do this is because I have a new Cap 1 card which I have had for 16 months,

this new account is in apple pie order and I can afford to pay this balance off if they got funny as I pay it off every month,

 

 

but I would be a bit miffed if I lost this because of Lowells,

but yes it would be a small price to pay to not have a CCJ or have to go to court.

 

 

Thank you

Well the plot thickens I have rung Cap one today, they were very helpful, ended up being passed over to Nottingham and a manager there.

 

They found account

it had a 1k limit,

it was taken out in 2007.

 

This is the interesting bit,

the lady confirmed a d/d payment had been made in 2012 but for £4768.00., which even with charges would have paid the account off with money over!!

 

I am now waiting for a phone call back as they are having to investigate and no I certainly did not make that payment and she said it was a cleared payment.

 

Either way it is good news because if that payment is nothing to do with me and they re-allocate the payment the debt is statute barred.

 

Also and this for anyone reading the posts,

Lowells have not been in touch and requested anything,

which is good for my defence if I need to go that way as I know they have not got anything.

 

So a bit happier today and will keep chasing Cap one for resolution on this mysterious payment.

As the agreement was assigned to the claimant on 23/11/2012 ....." the lady confirmed a d/d payment had been made in 2012 but for £4768.00."

 

I would assume that this in connection with the sale of the debt.

A lot to pay for a c/c debt

 

 

I suppose Lowells could have bought several for that amount,

but that does not make it a payment on that account from me does it?.

 

 

I have still had nothing from Lowells regarding the CCA,

or any paperwork for that matter time is up tomorrow for them.

 

 

Then will sort defence get it written up and let you look at it, many thanks

Good Morning

 

I am even more confused now lol.

 

I have spoken to Cap one and they have confirmed that the account was taken out at an address in 2007 which I did not go and live in until 2009, and there is a payment of £4786 in 2012 which I know I did not make,

 

because of the discrepancies in the records they have now passed it on to the fraud investigation dept to look into and they will have an answer in 14 days.

 

They have also said they will tell Lowells that it is being investigated.

I can't understand this as I am sure I had a cap one card in 2007

but not at the address they are telling me they have registered

and because they want to investigate they will give me no more info on the account.

 

My question is this my defence needs to be in by the end of the week what sort of defence should I put in, obviously I don't feel I can go statute barred, was thinking of going down the usual lines of having requested info and had nothing back etc woud this be right way to go?

 

Thank you

I think that this will require a customised defence charlie as its not the norm and because of the OCs investigation...under the circumstances I think Cap One should be instructing Lowell to discontinue the claim and take the debt back.
