    • Which Court have you received the claim from ? Civil National Business CEntre Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio i Ltd How many defendant's  joint or self ? Self   Date of issue –  15 Feb 2024 Particulars of Claim What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim?  The claim is for the sum of £922 due by the Defendant under and agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a Capital One account with an account reference of [number with 16 digits] The Defendant failed to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a Default Notice was served under s.87(1) of the Consumer Credit ACt 1974 which has not been complied with. The debt was legally assigned to the claimant on 16-06-23, notice of which has been given to the defendant. The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of the issue of these proceedings in the sum of £49.15 The Claimant claims the sum of £972 What is the total value of the claim? £1112 Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ? I dont know the details of the PAPDC to know if it was pursuant to paragraph 3, but I did receive a Letter of Claim with a questionaire/form to fill. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred? No Is the claim for - a Bank Account (Overdraft) or credit card or loan or catalogue or mobile phone account? Credit Card When did you enter into the original agreement before or after April 2007 ? no Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ? Online Is the debt showing on your credit reference files (Experian/Equifax /Etc...) ? Yes Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Assigned/purchaser Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? I was aware, I'm not certain I received a 'Notice of Assignment' from Capital One but may have been informed the account had been sold without such a title on the letter? Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Yes Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ? Not since the debt purchase, and not from Capital One. Why did you cease payments? I can't remember - it was the tail end of the pandemic and I may not have had enough income to keep up payments - I am self-employed and work in the event industry - at that time. I also had a bank account that didn't allow direct debits and may have just forgotten payments and became annoyed at fines for late payments. What was the date of your last payment? Appears to be 20/4/2022 Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? No Here is my Defence: 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 Capital One 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.. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. I am unaware of having been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. I am unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1) 5. The Defendant has sent a request by way of a section 78 pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974, for a copy of the agreement, the Claimant has yet to comply and remains in default of said request. 6. A further request has been made via CPR 31.14 to the Claimants solicitor, requesting disclosure of documents on which the Claimant is basing their claim. The Claimant has not complied and 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 Claimant 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 88 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. .................. Please note that I had to write a defence quite quickly as I hit the deadline. At the time of writing the defence, I hadn't been able to find correspondence from Capital One, but had since found default letter etc. I submitted CCA request and CPR 31.14. However, I didn't get any proof of postage or use registered post for the CPR (an oversight) but did with the CCA request. I received a pack which included a letter from Overdales, going over the defence I'd filed, as well as letters of Lowells and reprints of letters from Capital One. But I have no idea if this pack is in response to the CCA request or the CPR ! I would have expected two separate responses ... although I do know they are both the same company. Looking over the pack today, and looking through old emails .. I find some discrepancies in the Capital One default letters (notice of default and Claim of default). They are both dated *before* an email I have stating that a default can be avoided. The one single page of agreement sent (so not the full agreement) has a 16 digit number at the top in small print, next to 'Capital One' which corresponds to a number called 'PURN' printed at the top of each of the 10 pages of ins and outs of the account (they're not official statements, but a list of monthly goings) yet no mention anywhere on either of the account number. I cant really scan them at the moment - I can later tomorrow, but that will be after the mediation call I'm sure. I guess I may be on my own for this mediation ... I am not certain the CCA request has been satisfied .. or if the CPR has been . And then I appear to have evidence that the Default notices provided are fabricated ? Yet, I do have (elsewhere ... not at home) Default letters from Capital One I can check ..

    • Yes you should take this view, but this is nothing to worry about you will be fine. you have a very well edited WX im sure although I haven't actually looked at it because I can't seem to work out which one is the new one anymore, although I do remember something previously. however if i remember it right its just a lost parcel via packlink and no insurance which frankly is pretty straightforward and should be a copy of farooq v evri. Have I understood the case right? Please tell me if not as there is rather a lot on this forum

    • 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,

very worried as

I had missed a payment early on after getting the possession order

then been paying on time and

 

missed a payment as I had changed my card details and couldn't afford the payment by time I realised it hadn't gone through.

 

Been having non stop calls for past few days

as I am a student nurse I was at work and missed the calls.

 

I called tonight to be told it had gone to litigation that morning and although took new payment details he said he would speak to manager in morning but it would prob go down lines of eviction.

 

Total arrears 7000 and of those the 2000 are under the possession order.

I don't know what to do or try.

 

I want to keep my house and can maintain payments even though its hard

I am not ready to give up.

 

I also have suspended possession order on my first mortgage but its much less and am managing that.

 

The plan is to remortgage in a few years when I can finally get out of arrears and the possession orders and improve our credit rating.

 

 

Please help

 

Please help they are calling me tomorrow

That's strange! I thought I had posted to reply to this but it seems to be on another thread, unless I'm going ga-ga! Anyway as I said somewhere else, I have large arrears and found Christian Debt Line very helpful. "They'll give it to you straight" as to whether or not you have a defence.

Hi

been given a reposession date after mounting arrears and not keeping to the suspended possession order given about 5 years ago.

 

I haven't worked since 2011 but am starting work next month so offered Halifax £90 extra a month.

Was told by Halifax a month ago that we could make a payment arrangement but first they needed to get another possession order but not to worry it was cos old one had lapsed.

 

I then swiftly got a possession date through.

I have liased through Ascent and they won't accept it they want the £9000 arrears.

 

I have had medical problems and a break down a few years ago and still on medication.

Halifax have all medical notes .

I didn't just have a bit of depression it was very very bad and on a lot of medication.

 

Any advice as am putting an n244 in.

If you can prove you have a job and are able to make payments going forward then I'm sure the judge will give you a chance. When you say you need to get the eviction cancelled do you mean you have received an eviction notice? or is it a possession hearing you have been notified of ?

About 6 years ago I had an eviction hearing as I put in n244 and it went in my favour.

 

I have had a couple of times they gave me an eviction date and it got cancelled as I paid something and offered a payment plan... it's hard to remember.

 

I have had a terrible night and not slept I am so close to taking diazepam for the panic again but I really don't want to.

 

I don't understand why they wouldn't make a decision yesterday after I begged them not to leave me over the weekend as I would be panicking ( I have been hospitalised in past)

 

I feel maybe they are trying to teach me a lesson by leaving things hanging till Monday , it's cruel

 

it's the eviction .. they told me in June that they were gonna apply for a possession order as the previous had lapsed but not to worry and it meant we could set up a payment arrangement.

Yes the date is 2nd October

I put proposal to Halifax they wanted lots of proof of me and are going to decide Monday as they don't know if it's in my best Interest having the mortgage which I found patronising.

 

I send bank statements and they picked through them and said I had spent a lot at JD sports one day etc...

but my spending had reduced since June ??

 

They have made me feel like a complete failure and a liar

OK, lets wait and see what they say on Monday, then we will know whether you need to enter an N244 to get the eviction stopped. I am away from tomorrow until Wed evening and won't have internet access. I will look in again on Wed to see what needs to be done and can help if you need me to.

If you can show the court you are able to make payments going forward and can prove the new job offer then you have every chance. Judges don't like taking people's homes away when they can see there is a possibility of them reducing the arrears.

it proves what I said

they'll threaten and allsorts over the phone

and do things they are NOT ALLOWED TOO.

if they put it in writing they'd be told off by the regulators

 

if you must talk on the phone

you tell them it is being recorded

bet they'll say you cant do that.

 

 

sorry but you are letting them treat you like a fool.

I have an open complaint ...

they have said they can't stop eviction unless I pay £2000 .

I said I cannot afford that.

I can pay £1000

if I pay any more I am jeopardising next months payment and I want to pay on time from Now on.

 

The woman kept hastening me asking what I wasn't happy with and what she had done and why I was complaining and she needed to know .

I am going to speak to someone in complaints and put it in writing to them

 

I was on phone 2 hours to her .. I kept saying I need to go now as I am worn out emotionally with it all but she kept talking and asking me questions. I need copy of this call.

 

Apparently in June I had agreed a payment arrangement ... I don't remember this ?

I was told to wait for an extension of possession order
