    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 am looking for some advice on what to do with a court letter i have received.

 

It is from an old credit card from Aqua which i had taken out back in 2013.

 

The Claimant is now Arrow Global Limited who i assume has now purchased the debt.

I have until 11.08.17 to reply.

Issue Date: 06.07.17

Amount approx: £2288.42

Claimant: Arrow Global Limited

Solicitor: Shoosmith LLP

Original Creditor: Aqua Credit Card (NewDay Ltd)

 

Particulars of Claim:

 

The claimants are a finance company which inter alia operates the business of debt purchasing.

 

By virtue of a debt purchase agreement ('the agreement') between the claimants and Newday Ltd ("the original owner") dated 18/10/2016, the claimant acquired title to and was assigned the right to payment in respect of all debts and other monetary claims of any nature due or owing by the respondent to the original owner which were in existence as at the date of the Agreement, and in particular in relation to the contract hereinafter condescended upon.

 

The said assignation was intimated to the respondent by the way of a written notice on or around 18/10/2016.

 

The agreement between the respondent and the original owner upon which this action is based was regulated under the Consuer Credit Act 1974.

 

Further information in relation to that agreement is contained in section D4, where we set out the sums due and the basis which the fell due.

 

The Said contract between the original owner and the respondent is a regulated credit green in terms of section 189 of the consumer credit act 1974.

 

it is dated 20/02/2013 and relates to a credit card issued by the original owner for Aqua credit card with the account number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

 

on numerous occasions between 20/02/2013 and 30/01/2015 the respondent utilised the credit facility created under said agreement by purchasing goods and services on credit using the facility.

 

It was a term of the agreement that the original owner would use statements in relation to the account on a monthly basis upon which would be stated the current balance the minimum payment which required to be made in terms of the said agreement and the date by which said payment required to be made.

 

By the nature of the said agreement payment to be made each month fluctuated from month to month depending on use.

 

The last payment made by the respondent thereunder was made on 27/05/2014 in the sum of £110.00.

 

It was a term of said agreement that failure to meet and payment on a due date would render the account in default and would entitle the claimant to serve notice of default on the respondent requiring the respondent to remedy the breach within 14 day failing which the agreement would be terminated.

 

on or around 30/01/2015 the respondent failed to make payment of a sum which had failed due and the said account thereby entered into default.

 

A default notice was issued to the respondent on 30/01/2015.

The respondent failed to remedy the default following upon service of the said notice and the account was accordingly terminated in accordance with that notice.

 

The account remains in default.

The sum due in terms of the said agreement amounts to £2288.42. The right to receive payment of the sums due in terms of the said account vests in the claimant.

 

The form asks what documents they may bring to court to support the claim and they have listed..

A copy of the credit agreement,

statements of account and

notice of assignation will be produced in any defended process to follow hereon.

 

Is the debt Statute Barred? No

List any letters you have sent: None Yet

 

Sorry for the long post but i am unsure on how to proceed with this.

 

Should i just admit it and offer some sort of monthly payment?

What would be a reasonable offer?

 

I am not sure if they have all the original documents and no evidence was attached to the letter but as above they said the will be produced in court if i defend the case.

 

I am not 100% sure but i think i might have signed an online credit agreement at the time so i assume they will still have a copy of this.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

i had some money troubles back then and was moving house at the time so never kept up the payments and they just kept adding interest and charges etc.

 

I am in a better position to start paying something now but I am not sure about the correct amount I owe or if they even have any paperwork as they haven't sent any evidence with the form.

they don't have to send anything with the court form.

 

just remember this is a speculative claim by a DCA/debt buyer.

.they've seen +£2k profit for a very small court fee outlay

hoping for a default uncontested judgement.

 

your job is to string 'em out as long as you can with as much expense to them

 

they paid about 10p/£ but can sue for the full amount

all they get is one line of your details in a spreadsheet nothing more

  • 3 weeks later...

My date to reply to this claim is fast approaching

 

I still haven't received any reply from the Shoosmiths or Arrow in regards to the CCA request I sent both of them.

 

What would be my next step now

 

should I now send a reply defending the case as they haven't responded to my CCA request?

 

Thanks

reply to court?

 

 

As a respondent i specifically make reference to the Simple Procedure Rules 2016 in

so far as my understanding is that:

 

1.4(2)

The Sheriff must ensure that parties who are not represented, or parties who do not

have legal representation, are not unfairly disadvantaged...

 

... i represent myself and are totally at a loss upon how to respond to such a claim &

welcome any assistance the sheriff can give me.

 

1.6(9)

When appearing against a party who is not represented, or who is not legally

represented, representatives must not take advantage of the party.

 

1.6(10)

When appearing against a party who is not represented, or who is not legally

represented, representatives must help the court to allow that person to argue a

case fairly.

I expect the claimants' representative to employ the above.

 

The Claimant is a well known Debt Buyer or debt collection agency that purchases

large debt portfolio 'En-Masse' for a discounted Pence to Pound reduced value.

 

These debt portfolios, be them direct from the Original Creditors or exchanged under

sales between like Debt Buying Organisations, were placed for sale because the

Original Creditor neither wished to litigate against their customer themselves due to

bad publicity or are typically related to issues of enforceability under the consumer

credit Act or are as a result of inflated sums due to penalties and or interest levied

upon them that are unfair & unlawful under FCA regulations.

 

It is admitted with regards to the respondent once having had banking facilities with

the original creditor Aqua Credit Card. It is denied that I am indebted for any alleged

balance claimed.

 

The Respondent puts the Claimant to strict proof to provide copies of all

documentation they must produce under Scottish law that confirms they are able,

legally, to enforce and bring this claim to court

 

The claimant is also put to strict proof to:-

.

(a) Provide a copy agreement/facility arrangement along with the Terms and

conditions at inception, that this claim is based on.

 

(b) Provide a copy of the Notice served under 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974

Demand/Recall Notice and Notice of Assignment.

 

© Provide a breakdown of the excessive charging/fees levied to the account with

justification.

 

(d) Show how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed.

 

(e) Show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue

a claim.

 

(f) Show how they have complied with sections III & IV of Practice Direction - Pre-

action Conduct.

 

The court will be aware that penalty charges and the recoverability thereof have

been judicially declared to be susceptible to assessments of fairness under the

Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts

 

Regulations 1999 The Office of Fair Trading v Abbey National PLC and others

(2009).

 

 

I will contend at trial that such charges are unfair in their entirety.

yes I put this

 

The claimant has averred on their claim form that they hold the signed agreement under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 dated 20/02/2013

 

A CCA Request section 78 was sent recorded delivery on 11-07-2017.

To date the claimant has failed to comply & is in default of said request.

 

2. The respondent is unaware of any default notice served under the consumer credit act by either the original creditor or the claimant in the last 4 years.

as until then you have nothing to mediate over.

I was thinking of sending this as a reply to the Sols?

 

"I write in regards to the above case reference number and the order of the Sheriff letter dated 08/08/17. The Sheriff has noted that i should contact the claimant to resolve any matters in dispute before the case management discussion takes place. I am contacting yourself as you are the claimants representative for this case.

 

On the 11/07/17 i sent a CCA request to Arrow Global Limited requesting under s.78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. To provide me with a true copy of the credit agreement, together with any other documentation the Act requires to provide. A copy of this letter was also sent to yourselves for reference.

 

To date Arrow/Shoosmiths has failed to supply any/all of the required documentation to enforce their claim and are in breech of my CCA request.

Until you provide ALL the above I respectfully ask you discontinue the case.

 

It should also be noted that i an not interested in any ADR or Mediation until all of the required paperwork has been provided as until then I have nothing to mediate over.

 

I look forward to hearing from you."

 

 

 

I also have another question? The date set for my case management discussion is the 15h September, can i request the court to change this date as it is difficult with work commitments?

write to the sheriff clerk and explain

copy them that letter too.

 

in light of the enclosed letter

and the fact that due to pressing work commitments...

 

either

I respectfully ask the case management discussion be moved to another date

or

it be allowed to commence, with ref to my enclosed letter only offered as my points of discussion.
