    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • 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.

Hello CAG

 

Please give me some help and advice.

My interest only mortgage will end next month .

I have asked for a five year extension.

I have been discussing this with my mortgage provider and it does not look good.

 

I am pretty nervous and anxious.

I am not quite sure how to go about negotiating with them.

As its interest only they want the entire loan back.

Due to illnesses over the last 10 years my plans to save to repay the mortgage at the end of term went out of the window.

then went into arrears and it was touch and go for a year.

I was able to make regular payments and caught up on my arrears.

I was then able to make over payments which totted up to a small but a pretty good amount.

But its like – that’s all academic now

 

The lender now wants the full mortgage back, which is impossible for me.

I have a small amount of lump sum but not a serious amount.

 

This is where I need help and advice.

1. I can provide proof of income but the income in itself is not great.

However its enough to enable me to meet the payments regularly and my outgoings are low.

2. The lender wants SA103 for the last three years from HMRC.

I am arranging this.

I am unsure how these documents will look and how the lender would use them to assess my capability to make repayments.

3. My intention is to take on a repayment mortgage for say another 5 years and then sell my property. I do not wish to sell it now

4. I can increase my repayments by taking on a tenant.

(I can go really crazy by taking on more tenants but i do not know how the lender will react to this)

5. Will I be assessed as a new client or will they take my past good record into account.?

6. During my illness I took on a loan and picked up a CCJ and as a result, a second charge on my property which is still on my record. I am assuming that this will have an adverse effect on my application for an extension.

 

i shall be most grateful for any advice on how to deal with this other then sell up and move on

 

thank you very much

Burmafriday

Hi Andy

thanks so much

yes i was already there and have been sifting thru reams of HMRC forms and guidelines

the last few days......

its pretty simple for me as i do not have complicated or big income. my condition does not enable me to

do long hours and work like a nutter like i did before. i can just do enough to pay bills.

 

i was finding it really difficult to complete the forms and how to make correct deductions

but now the coin seemed to hv dropped and i appear to hv sorted that issue.

the key thing is the lender will want to see "affordability." thats the issue

i do not know if my tax returns will show affordability

i do not have an accountant or know anyone who can help in that regard.

 

clearly i can afford the re-payments as i have been paying them throughout the period.

 

this is what i now propose to do :

 

1. a financial statement for each year for the last 3 years to accompany the tax returns

2. a forecast for the next year showing a higher repayment per month

to include interest + Principal.

3. I can try and carry out a forecast for the next to more years.

 

One good thing - I had a chat with my daughter and she said she will contribute .

Now, that will really help. But the thing is i do not know if i should mention it because

i do not want the lender to force them to sign any paperwork.

 

and of course, if i can get a tenant that would really improve my ability to repay more.

again, i do not know if i should mention this.,

 

Does CAG have any guides regarding mortgages and "affordability"?

Does CAG, have any sample formats of proposals for lenders concerning repayments?

 

All the best/BF

It would be unwise to bring your Daughter into this or mention her to your Mortgage provider.

 

In the upload I have provided it explains that mortgages should be extended to suit its customers needs..up to a max of 7 years.

Being an existing customer and having maintained payments for 24 years and 11 months should be taken into consideration.

Dear Andy

 

thanks for your message.

sorry for my late response - i picked up some new chunk of work which kept me seriously busy.

i appreciate your advice regarding keeping my daughter out. i shall do that.

 

yes i have gone through the doc in the upload and i checked it a few times.

The doc does not cover my situation much because mine is interest only.

(BTW - I took it out for 10 years) it mentioned that the lenders grant a six year

period as a buffer for repayment if they carry out a possession.

 

Theres no mention of the lender extending the mortgage for up to seven years.

Has this sort of facility have been granted to your knowledge?

 

i went on the Money Advice site and carried out a mortgage affordability check using

their calculator ... suffice it to say - i failed miserably.

having been on that site, i do not think my ideas in my earlier post #6 will work.

 

In the meantime I am chasing HMRC still for a UTR as it has not arrived yet.

 

my only "credits/plus points" so far are

a. i only defaulted and feel behind when i was extremely ill.

b. i then not only caught up my arrears but made significant over payment on the interest

c. since i caught up my arrears, i have never defaulted again

and i have been overpaying for the last 3 years.

( when i used the figures of the last year in the mortgage affordability calculator, it should i could not afford it !!!)

 

so i am seriously stuck as to how i can negotiate with the lender to give me an extension and change the

type of mortgage to a repayment.

 

i can clearly pay more than the interest only amount as i have done so for the last 3 years.

 

is there any advice or guidance you or any one on CAG can give me on how i can approach my lender?

 

look forward to hearing from you

all the best/BF

hi Ericsbrother

thank you for this information. thats really useful.

Based on your advice i checked this out and its very do-able and possible.

In the meantime, my dilemma is how to present this to my lender so that they will be agreeable to

1. extend the mortgage

2. change to repayment

3. allow lodger

 

any help and assistance you can give me in this will be gratefully received.

i think i know what to do but just seem to be missing some direction. I guess I just need a bit of re-assurance.

Hi

My problem is there is good equity in the property as it is worth far more than my the amount outstanding in my mortgage.

So i am concerned that the lender may force me to sell.

 

I am just concerned that the lender can take the view that I took on interest only mortgage so i am not a victims and i have to live with the consequences of my decisions.

 

i know that its my responsibility to keep a repayment vehicle in place. I did have something in place but

due to my serious illness which lasted about four years, that went as i had to repay the arrears and of course,

i have not been able to catch up and make good my repayment scheme.

 

thats why i am finding it really difficult to present my case to the lender and so i was asking if anyone can advise the best approach.

 

thank you

BF

a lot of what they will accept is dependant upon your age as that will impact upon your income at the tail end of the mortgage.

You dont have to stick with this company though, you can get a mortgage from anyone who offers one suitable to your circumstances. You then pay off the interest only one and start the new one on the new terms that will be agreed so you wont ned to be begging this lot for mercy.

Hi Ericsbrother

thank you for your message.

i do see and understand your explanation. Its a good idea.

My reasons for trying to stick with this lender are

a. i am 61,

b. got a CCJ (which i am in a process of having it removed)

 

i figure i have a better chance with existing lender as i overcame my arrears and was able to make over payments

but then i guess they too will look at my current circumstance as well .... so i might as well check out other lenders.

 

thank you again.

all the best/BF

Hi Georgina Karen

 

i took it out in 2007. yes it was fast track and done through broker.

I was doing really well in those days and i was able to prove my income.

 

yes i was thinking of checking my arrangement too including the charges they imposed on

me when i was in arrears.

 

Well at least you have time. As i am actually going through this issue, my advice to you would be

to put every penny you can away so you have some lump sum saved up at the end of the term to

offer the lender. Seriously, put every penny away and save like made for the next 4 years.

and if you can, think of moving to a repayment now or as soon as possible and even get rates from different

lenders. (I cannot do this as i cannot prove my income now.)

 

i shall be most interested to know how you got on especially with your MP - so pls let me know

Good Luck. God Bless,

All the best

BF.

thank you very much
