    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        The alleged Letter of Claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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 emailed Barclaycard asking for statements on a closed account here is their response.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for your e-mail.

In reply to your enquiry, I will be able to order a copy statement for you as per your request. However, I must inform you that we levy a charge of £3.00 per copy.

In order for us to order the copy statements for you, you will need to contact Barclaycard Customer Services on 0870 1540154, or from abroad on ++ 44 1604 230230 even though you do not possess the account number. When calling the Customer Services number, press 0 and you will be transferred to a Customer Account Manager.

I trust this information is of assistance.

 

 

Kindest regards

Here we go, here we go, here we go!!!!

 

Sent 1st letter today after receiving statements dating back to May 04. They are now refusing to send statements past that time because they are not readily available and therefor not covered by the DPA

 

Utter S*!te!!!!

 

They did, however, send me a 40 million page print out detailing just about everything that has ever happened, will happen or may have happened on my account. (It was about 30 pages really) Cunningly hidden on page 4/5 was the information i was looking for the number of late payment charges and the number of over limit charges! Simply multiplied those numbers by £20 the current charge for these terrible offences and send a slightly Scottishified version of Bookworms letter (thanks Bookworm).

 

Will keep you all posted

Got an offer from Barclay card today. The usual stuff to start, we dont agree with your legal analysis, our charges are transparent etc etc. Then they offered me £135 (my claim was for £435) They then went on to say this is the difference between their existing charge and the recommendation of the OFT. Has anyone else seen this?

Well the way I see it is even though they might try to use the OFT's recommendation, they would still have to prove that these charges are justified. And even at 12.00 they charges still seem high. Let them prove that it costs 12.00, before you accept any offers!

I thought this would happen- no doubt a new trick for all companies now. But until the OFT or some one else says a charge is fair- go for it! There not going to claim money back on claims they have already paid out on for the full amount are they?

Barclaycard have on receipt of my LBA refunded £208 to my wifes card and offered £100 on mine, both as goodwill gestures neither accepting any liability or admission of guilt. Obviously I am not going to leave it there....

I have had an offer of about half from bc. Obviously i have written and told them I accept it as interim payment btut will continue court action untill i get full settlement. They have transferred the half (£135 to my account) can I spend this or would this be as good as accepting their offer of half?

 

 

cheers

Threads merged - please stick to one thread

 

If you have agreed to accept it as ain interim payment only then I see no harm in spending it. If you want to err on the side of caution you could give them a week so you know they have received and accepted your letter - if they don't respond then there's nothing to stop you from spending it in my opinion.
