    • 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.

    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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.

 

Sadly my sister passed away last week, she was not too well after her husband had a heart attack 5 months ago.

 

My sister wasn't very well and was receiving £300 DLA per month and £700 Universal Credit per month.

 

I spoke with my mum and stepdad who have said they have been to the funeral directors today and they are asking for £1800. My mum and step dad are both retired and are what you could call low income. They definitely do not have the means to pay such funds.

 

We are in the belief that the social services should be doing more to liaise with the funeral directors to tey get some money paid.

 

Can someone please help and advise what should be happening here?

 

The funeral is set for next Friday 20th October.

Thanks for the swift replies, with my parents both being retired and low income are they to pay anything? Should I talk with the funeral directors?

 

My mum said my sister was due a Universal Credit payment this week, would or could that be used?

If your Mum has access to the Sisters money, any funds could be used, if your Mum had previous consent by your Sister. However, once DWP is notified of the death, they will ask for any sum after death to be paid back to them. So a demand for some of the Universal Credit money back will be received at some point.

 

With Funeral Directors they often will allow a period of time for the account to be settled. They realise that Bank accounts are frozen for a period as soon a Bank receives a death certifucate and the deceaseds family might not have the funds available. As long as you keep them informed about any delays and they will get paid, they are normally OK.

We could do with some help from you.

Consent for what? Tio use her money in case of death or just access to her accounts? Can anything be applied for to the bank she was in? Tp get access to any money?

 

Will DWP want any money back from the date after death or will they be a bit more kind?

What i meant by consent is that before your Sisters passing, your Mum had already been given access by your Sister to her Bank account.

 

If there is nothing legal to allow your Mum access, if she somehow knew the pin number for card withdrawal of money, that might be considered illegal.

 

The Bank will freeze the account on receipt of the death certificate and there will be no access to the account, until your Sisters estate has been dealt with legally.

 

Did your Sister leave a will ? If so, who is noted as executor ?

 

Your Mum as the next of kin, should be getting advice about dealing with your Sisters affairs.

 

DWP will write asking for any overpayment back, but this might not be straightaway. If you search for info, i am sure you will find people who have been chased months afterwards for overpayments.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi

 

my condolences on your sad loss

 

Have a read of this Wills, probate and inheritance link: https://www.gov.uk/wills-probate-inheritance/if-the-person-left-a-will

 

Did they have any life, funeral insurance etc and you have a claim in? (if yes ask them to provide a letter stating this)

 

Did you check the links in post#2 & 3 on funeral payment to see if entitled.

 

Have they ask the Funeral Directors if they could set up a payment plan for the £1800 costs? (if you can get above show them)

if there are funds in the bank account

you present the bill to the bank surely?

they are allowed to pay funeral expenses?

 

 

or am I reading this wrong about the situation?

both of my parents funerals were paid for this way.

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

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Most banks should do this.

 

If the DWP has made an overpayment and the estate is insolvent after funeral expenses are paid, then they will get little back. Should the estate be insolvent, then it is best for everyone to take a step back and avoid any intermeddling lest they find themselves being held liable for any debts.

essentially people apply for their own funerals out of their estate if they have the means to do so.

If sister was on benefits then the next of kin can claim from the councul whatever the amount is, the incomes of anyone else is irrelevant for calculation purposes other than surviving spouse.

 

Knowing what the estae consists of may help you,

if the monies held in a bank account is considerable then the bank will need permission to release it,

 

how much money varies from bank to bank but a couple of thousand for the funeral wont make them concerned if the death cert and proof of your identity is shown so they know where the money is going.

 

A persons estate is money, property, stocks and shares and in certain cases works of art or substantial amouts of jewellery or collections of importance such as a dozen classic cars (family runabout not part of estate).

 

Everything else is personal effects and in the absence of a will can be disposed of as the next of kin feels appropriate.

If there is a will then the executors are responsible to arranging everything
