    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 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 21/12/2022. 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 Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. 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: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

  • 4 weeks later...

Got a little further now....

 

- Completed moneyclaim part

- Barclays (surprise surprise responded within 4 days of filing moneyclaim online): From Karl Voller:

 

I refer to our letter of 20th April:

 

....with an offer of 'May I say how sorry I am to learn blah blah blah......I must inform you that we disagree with your view......despite my comments blah blah blah I am willing to offer £775 towards the total amount.....

 

- no chance.....I'm continuing the pursuit of my full £2,500 odd including 8%, I get the impression everyone is getting this type of response.

 

What should I do at this stage, considering in the letter it says 'if I do not hear from you to within 8 weeks from the date of this letter, I shall assume that your complaint is resolved and close my file'

 

Do I:

 

A - respond to the letter and say, full refund is will be the only amount I will accept

B - ignore it and leave it to the moneyclaim process and win by default after 14 days?

C - accept this amount but add I will expect the remainder within 14 days (although this will be after the moneyclaim deadline)

 

Any advice most welcome

 

thanks

I would definitely reply, or your actions of ignoring the letter could be miscontrued as being unreasonable. Always accept an offer, but state you are claiming the full amount and will continue with the claim.

 

If they pay the part payment you may have to amend the claim. If you don't receive further advice on this, come back here with the results of your reply letter.

 

Good luck.

thanks a lot for the advice...just wanted to be ABSOLUTELY sure of the next step!

 

here's my letter which I'll send tommorrow in case anyone wants to add any words of wisdom before it gets sent:

 

Dear Karl, (**Karl Volller customer relations manager)

 

Thank you for your letter dated 19 May 2006.

 

You will be aware that I have now filed a claim against Barclays – claim number: xxxxx. The figure of £2704.41 remains outstanding – this is calculated as the original amount of £2245, plus 8% interest and the court fee of £120. The total amount excludes any potential further costs associated with legal action.

 

I acknowledge your offer of the sum of £775 towards the total amount and I am happy to accept this as part payment of the total sum of £2704.41. I must remind you that I am pursuing my claim for the full amount of £2704.41 and therefore, I am unable to sign your form agreeing to the sum of £775 as final settlement.

 

I look forward to your reply

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

me

 

I'll keep you up-to-date with progress

OK -so received a reply from Barclays:

 

____________________________

...sorry you are unhappy with our response to your complaint and note that whilst you are accepting the amount offered, you will be seeking the remaining balance in the County Court.

 

I am therefore unwilling to adhere to your request to reimburse you with the full amount claimed, and it is with regret that you will now be proceeding to the county court.

 

blah blah Sincerely

 

Joanna Carney

- So are they saying they will refund part of it and recognise I'm taking them to court for the remainder?

 

- On my notice of issue (from moneyclaim), it says the defendant has until the 3rd June to reply......if they enter some kind of defence, will moneyclaim send me a letter or do I have to keep checking the claim online?

 

- anyone got any advice on what I do now??!!!!

 

thank you

On moneyclaim, it says Barclays have until 3rd June to reply, but now it's the 5th June, I've tried clicking on the 'Judgement by default' option but it tells me:

 

'The Defendant is allowed 14 days from the date they were served with the claim to defend or admit your claim before you can request a Judgment by Default.'

 

Am I doing something wrong?

 

Any help much appreciated and as a gesture of goodwill (and I stick by my word) I'll donate 10% of the total money I get refunded by Barclays...so please HELP!!!

What is the date of service according to your Moneyclaim paperwork?

Opinions given herein are made informally by myself as a lay-person in good faith based on personal experience. For legal advice you must always consult a registered and insured lawyer.

Is this the date the claim was 'deemed to be served'? - This was 20th May 2006 (my claim was issued on 15th May).

 

So is it 14 working days from the 20th May or just 14 days?

 

Thanks for your help

 

 

UPDATE!!!! - Just logged back onto moneyclaim and I've entered judgement by default....I'm assuming this is correct.

 

I thought I would be polite and allow them 14 days to pay up, so even though I was tempted, I didn't select the 'pay up immediately' option.

 

Is this it?....can they block this or contest it, or do I (and the bank action group of course) get our money or am I getting my hopes up?

I'm surprised DQ hasn't told you off yet. I gave them far too much time (as you did) and got a well deserved telling off from DQ.

 

The only thing they can do now is to have the judgement set aside (normally Abbey's tactic), normally claiming they didn't have the paperwork. If this is the case then you may be in for a long wait. Leave it for the 14 days and update us as to the result. I file my claim tomorrow and am watching with interest (pardon the pun).

It would be nice if you could stick around a while. There are always new people joining that could use the help of someone who has done it before. Even if you only visit occasionally. Also make sure you fill in the survey so we know how much we have got back between us.
