    • 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 ..

    • 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 guys,

Mid February I was issued with a CCJ after moving house and not receiving the court documents.

 

I have spoken to Citizen's advice who have discussed with me the possibility of a set aside and have sent me the court forms to fill in.

I know that I need to act promptly and get this sent off but was waiting to speak to the claimant.

 

I spoke with the claimant's Solicitors and we came to an arrangement for me to pay all money owed and for them to consent to set aside.

They were very nice about this after speaking to them and hearing the issues I'd been dealing with and why the debt wasn't originally paid.

 

I have just received a document through the post from them but it is in fact a TOMLIN ORDER, although it does state it it that they wish for the CCJ to be set aside due to sending the forms to the wrong address.

 

I am to sign to agree to the full payment and send back to the claimant.

I have been looking up what a TO is, but all information seems to state that it is something used BEFORE a CCJ is issued so I'm just a little confused.

 

If I send the signed TO back will the claimant and court then deal with it and I wait to hear from them?

I think that's what it says on the document.

 

Do I still need to send my own N forms to set aside to the courts as advised by citizens advice or does that not need to be done now the claimant is sending the TO themselves to the court?

 

Also, I saw the below comment on another thread on this forum in which someone was able to get a set aside but only after initially being rejected.

Is the following true and more likely to be set aside?

 

"In hindsight and a better chance of having the consent order approved would have been to engage a solicitor to send it for you.

The court can deal with consent orders as an administration process without involving a judge but that's only if both parties have legal rep."

 

Very confused. Any help appreciated. Thank you

if they have admitted they sent the original claimform etc to the WRONG address then get it set aside by using an N244 application!!

don't agree to the TO as they are getting away with murder here!!

they are conning you to enter into a CCJ if you fail the TO for any reason BECAUSE of THEIR mistake!!

 

They should be agreeing to set aside the CCJ FOC to you, which in effect resets things to the original claim date/details.

 

they are most probably being 'very nice about this' because they know they've screwed up!!

stop talking on the phone for sure...

 

get on to and ring northants bulk

ask for a copy of the CCJ and the CLAIMFORM by email PDF

 

when you have this info post the particulars of claim back here.

 

don't get sc@mmed!!

Thank you so much for your reply.

 

I completely agree with everything you say,

however I do apologise and must add that I hadn't updated them with my new address, which I moved into early December 2017,

(CCJ issued in February) so technically it's my fault and not theirs, right?

 

I only found out when I checked my credit file and saw the CCJ had been issued.

It is unfortunate the court papers and house move coincided with each other, but still I should have updated them beforehand I guess.

 

This may change your opinion and I'm sorry for not making that clearer.

This, and the fact that I am able to, is why I have offered full payment and they have agreed to set aside.

 

More details below:

 

 

It states on the TO:

UPON - service of the claim form being served at a previous address for the Defendant therefore leaving the Defendant unable to respond

 

AND upon parties having agreed terms of a settlement

 

BY CONSENT

 

1. Judgement be and is hereby set aside and the registration entry cancelled

 

2. Upon judgement being set aside in accordance with paragraph 1 above, all further proceedings in this action be stayed upon the terms of settlement agreed between the parties as set out in the schedule herein except for the purpose of carrying the said terms into effect and that there be liberty to apply for the said purpose

 

3. In the event that the Defendant defaults in compliance with the terms set out in the schedule the Claimant may apply for further orders and directions

 

4. There be no order for costs

 

What are your thoughts?

 

Thank you

I'm not sure that I agree with DX100uk here.

 

If you agree that you owe the money then a CCJ is inevitable if you don't pay.

 

This Tomlin order allows you to pay them their money and for the judgment to be cancelled and for any trace of it to be erased from the register and from your credit file, if it is already on there. It is all done at their expense. They will lose their claim fee and also they pay for the setaside and for the Tomlin order.

 

It seems to me that it gives you everything you want at no cost.

 

Of course if you don't pay then they are at liberty to go back to the court - but then you would be at liberty to defend the claim if you wanted.

 

If you agree the debt then sign. If you don't then I expect that it is you who will have to apply for the setaside at your own expense etc.

Thank you. That sounds promising. Yes, I admit to the debt, it was an overdraft charge that I defaulted on during a time of struggling with some mental health issues. It was sold to another company last year and it's a shame that now I am able to deal with it and repay that I have just been issued with a CCJ, but I have to take responsibility for that. If I hadn't have moved house in December I would have recieved the court forms and could have sorted it all out then. I would like to pay them the full amount and draw a line under it. It would be a weight off my mind.

 

I am signing the Tomlin Order and sending it back. Do you know if I still need to send the N244 form to the court myself or does that not have to be done now?

 

Thank you

my advice was based upon the fact it appeared cabot admitted they had sent the paperwork to the wrong address,

as it transpires that is not their fault but it was the OP's

 

so as above go with the TO

No. You don't need to send anything else. Make sure you keep a copy of any documents that you have signed. You need to make sure that you have got evidence of everything. Once you have taken a copy, send it off immediately. Make sure you stick by the terms of the agreement.

 

On a slightly separate note though. You say that this was an overdraft which you become unable to pay.

 

Please could you tell us more about this overdraft. How much was it? What date was it - meaning for how long to run and from what date to what date? Have you got the bank statements which relate to it? Are you able to see what late payment et cetera charges were levied by the bank?

 

Make sure you send off the signed order immediately – but please respond to the questions I have posted above. It might reveal some interesting points which could help you later.

well if there is evidence of charges etc, as dialog seems to be running with cabot

I don't think? it would hurt to mention this to them, even better if you have a rough figure?

they might even knock these off the total, I think we've seen this before too?
