    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are 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. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. 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. 9. 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.

    • 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.

I did some research earlier and was informed that a set aside could be done on the basis that no attempt was made to verify my address and also that the application for this begins when you become aware not when the ccj was incurred.

Problem is, it conflicts with some of the other info and leaves me confused.

 

Due to it being 2003, don't I have a right to see documentation relating to the original debt as I don't even know what it is?

Is that not the point when I can dispute the details or at least the amount?

for all I know the debt could have had £1000's of pounds added each year.

There is certainly more than a thousand added to the sum quoted in court.

 

If I have a debt then I can take steps to resolve it,

but this is like someone knocking on the door and asking for £5000 I lent you 14 years ago.

Why cant I challenge the validity without feeling there is no hope of success.

Problem is...last known address is considered good service...so a court would take that view and ask the same did you update the details of your address ?

 

They have no need to trace your current address.

 

Do your research and see how the figures stack up...then you can decide if its viable to make application.

We could do with some help from you.

accepting its my fault for not providing an address,

what about the right to have clarification of the original debt etc.

 

 

If I send of for subject access and don't get the information would that be considered a defence?

 

 

I'm not trying to dent all knowledge here but after 14 years

I genuinely don't know what this debt is for and I have no paperwork at all.

nope too late

the CCJ trumps the need for any paperwork now

the only relevantinfo today would be statute barred at time of claimform or already paid off.

 

you need two things:

 

a reason to set aside the CCJ, - you ran away from this debt - so that's out the window

 

and a defence for the debt.

 

neither you appear to have.

 

800'000 speculative claimforms are issued every year

only 15% are defended

 

so nowt is checked no human even sees anything

its a default rubberstamped judgement.

Thanks for the info,

im still inclined to seek legal advice but for now i need to take a step back.

 

 

One final thing,

i personally never paid the debt management company it was always via my ex's account.

Would this qualify as part of the 6 year period?

If so the time has passed.

I asked earlier whether this MBNA account was in your sole name or not ?

If your ex paid it on your behalf, he did it with your permission and you have no proof otherwise.

So the debt is not statute barred ( 6 years without payment).

 

There is nothing stopping you applying for the set aside when you want.

 

 

Just remember you need to state reasons for a defence that could be discussed at a court hearing.

Don't go off half cocked, get it wrong and lose your opportunity.

Get the info you need, so you can at least get it right.

So why do they not enforce the judgement?

Its 18 months since they obtained it and i have had no contact.

Presumably they could instruct bailiffs?

 

Do they now have your correct address ?...they have 6 years to execute a judgment.

I havent given a new address and the MBNA card would have been in my name only.

An earlier post suggested i dont do anything as no attempt has been made to collect.

If that is the case and at some time in the future could i negotiate a settlement or should i do it now?

In your first post you mentioned that you got refused a rental property because of the CCJ. The CCJ will be on your records for 6 years, so will be picked up by anyone checking your credit record or court records. It can affect whether you are accepted for loans, mobile phone contracts, broadband/TV contracts, employment etc.

 

Also at any point, Cabot or their representatives can start enforcement action against you, by asking the court to send enforcement officers to your door, they can apply to the court for attachment to earnings etc. There are a number of different ways they can try to enforce. If the debt exceeds £5k they can apply to make you bankrupt.

 

You therefore need to think about whether you can live with the CCJ issues until the 6 years passes and it drops off your record. And even when it passes 6 years, the CCJ exists, but the initial 6 years allowed for enforcement has passed. Cabot could still write to you and could ask a court for more time. They might not get it.

 

Suggest you have a think about it for a few days. If you send off a subject access request to Cabot, then it might provoke them to start writing to you at your new address about debt repayment. You can send off an SAR to MBNA to get info, as they are unlikely to contact Cabot. You also contact the company you had the debt repayment plan with. So perhaps don't have any contact with Cabot at all, until you want or need to.

We could do with some help from you.

I will send to MBNA.

Do I send same to Stepchange (previously Consumer Credit Counselling Service) or do I just ask for any info they hold about me?

 

also as it was in joint names are they obliged to release this?

My current circumstances have enabled me to resolve the rental issue and I don't have any current credit or plans to get any

I'm not worried about the timescale.

 

If push came to shove I could afford to settle,

my concern is that I don't believe the amount is justified and also I'm pretty confident there is no credit agreement.

 

I'm loathe to just pay a lump sum to someone because they have obtained a judgement though a method that is through the back door when they could have contacted me in the first place and with no evidence.

 

Would it be wise to just leave it and see if they try and collect in the future and then settle,

or would it be better to do some form of challenge with a view to getting an agreed settlement?

I was thinking around 30% once I know the debt is mine.

Just realised that a debt I have been paying for some time was arranged via Restons solicitors and they were informed of my new address when I moved as they had to authorise the removal of a charging order when we divorced.

 

As Restons is also the solicitor dealing with this issue,

is it not reasonable to advise that they knew the address

or is it the DCA the ones that should have been informed?

ok so that could well be worthy regarding the reason to set aside the CCJ

but you still need a tenable defence for the debt itself...

  • 2 years later...

I have received a letter today from Cabot which claims they have confirmed my address and are now the owners of my MBNA debt and would like to arrange payment.

 

I think this is one that seems to be passed from one dca to another and then goes quiet.

 

Whatever the advice i can guarantee there have been no payments made to any dca’s or other organisations since April 2013 when i was in a joint dmp.

Sorry, i had one court case which was settled and have lived at my current address for 2 years. This appears to be the same mbna debt 

 

Presumably i can wait for them to issue court proceedings now they have my address and then can defend it? When i last asked for advice about using a solicitor i was told it was a waste of money.

well check if it is the same card

does the 16 digit card number match ?

or the cabot ref number?

 

if its the same debt then they could well be looking toward enforcing the CCJ>

you'd better work out if it is

 

solicitors are a waste of money on civil consumer debt yes..

see if you can match it better though it sounds the same debt

no you don't offer payment....yet if at all.
