    • Yes, you should have applied for an immediate strike out as soon as the deadline expired. Without the agreement, they are stuffed Forget Barclaycard, Asset link is now the creditor, and it is down to them to provide the agreement.  That needs to go into the witness statement. They have not provided the agreement contrary to directions of the court and request the court strike out the claim as to the original court directions.
    • I did not receive a notice via post but in my claim status it shows my claim was transferred to a court I requested in my DQ, as it is closer to me.    Defense I filed:  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.       The defendant paid the lead tenant a fixed sum monthly bill without fail for the extent of the rental period of the accommodation their contract was associated with who was responsible to make payments to the claimant, ending in June 2023. 3.       After moving out, a month later, the claimant wrote to state that an outstanding sum existed. Further stating, as one of the 10 tenants at the time, I now owed them the full sum instead of my 1/10 proportion of said debt, as 10 students were at the dwelling. They also intimated that they were legally allowed to charge me the full sum if the other renters were not to pay their share under some equal and joint severity rule. 4.       Despite sending numerous requests prior to the court claim being raised for copies of said bills for said utilities covered by the agreement, the claimant failed to send any clear bills. This included a CPR 31.14 on xx/xx/xxxx sent via post. 5.       The defendants stress that they acted in good faith to settle the outstanding balance, as evidenced by the confirmation received from the claimant.  Any subsequent demands for additional payments are unwarranted and contradict the claimant's previous acknowledgment of settlement. 6.       Pursuant to OFGEM code of back billing rules the alleged charges relate to charges which have not been billed correctly by Co-operative Energy and are therefore prevented from charging. With the court’s permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to: - a) show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement. b) show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount claimed. c) 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.It is therefore denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?

    • 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.

Hello all,

I am dealing with TM legal services on behalf of my wife and am after some advice.

 

In Feb of 2017 a claim was made against my wife at Leicester county court by asset collections for an old lending stream debt. I defended this by admitting to the original loan but disputing the astronomical fees and charges. The judge ordered the balance of the claim be struck out.

 

My wife has just started a new job and has had to undergo background checks. To our horror it showed up that she has a CCJ in the name of asset collections issued by Northampton county court business centre in June of 2018 that we knew nothing about.

 

On getting the details from Northampton court it is for the same debt that had previously been struck out and Asset collections had got this default judgement by serving the papers to an address we had moved from 3 years earlier despite having served the paperwork the first time at our current address.

 

My wife is about to lose her new job over this, does anyone know where we stand?

Thank you

Hiya Joe & Welcome aboard - I have moved your thread to the FLI Forum. (Financial Legal Issues) 

Please post here going forward. I am shocked  to see what TM Legal have done... 

Do you have proof that they served the Claim Form on the correct address 1st time round.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi thanks for the quick response, the only correspondence I have is where asset collections have done the claim via email with Leicester crown court and the paperwork confirming the case and strike out from the court which was all sent to our current address.

Sadly yes, she started on Monday 18th Feb and had to leave on Friday 22nd as they told her no permanent offer of employment would be made due to the CCJ.

They have given her a little time to try and get it resolved but that time is running out.

TM legal and Asset collections are an absolute nightmare to deal with.

It got as far as TM saying they would have it set aside by consent and would send the form to her to sign by close of play last Friday but they never did. I'm not sure if that's the correct process anyway?

You will have immediate lead to begin applying for a set-aside. I'm afraid this will cost you some money – but if the circumstances are right then you will be able to claim it back. You will need to use a form N244.

Also, send asset collections an SAR immediately. This is essential because you need to find out exactly what has been going on and how much information they have got on you. It may well be that they have treated you unfairly within the meaning of BCOBS or COBS.

Begin the set-aside procedure immediately, and inform the employers that this is what you have done and also show them the strikeout from the previous action.

I concur with BankFodder... This is foul play... 

Nothing you could have done to stop it.. But I would say that they should be made to cough up significantly... 

Get the fact that your wife has been let go in writing...

Thanks Bankfodder, I will begin the set aside process straight away.

We have shown the employer the strike out judgement but that doesn't appear to be enough for them. They seem to want the CCJ removed immediately which I know is impossible.

I will do thanks, she has been to hell and back. The humiliation of having to pack her bags and leave the office with everyone watching.

I wouldn't mind but she was only changing jobs because we have relocated and her previous position she held for 21 years with impeccable service.

Start keeping a detailed log of everything that has happened – who said what to who and also all of the inconvenience and distress you have been put to. Also, keep a close account of any losses or expenses which have been incurred as a result of this.

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing in regards to Defendant Mrs. Xxxxxxxxx relating to above claim number. Please find below the details of how the outstanding balance £1,414.98.

The original amount funded was £450.00 on 13/08/2013, due to be paid back in 6 instalments totalling an amount of £990.00.

Due to the loan not being paid back in time the outstanding balance at the time the account was sold onto Asset Collections & Investigations was £1,308.83.

The account fell into arrears on 30thAugust 2013 as the first payment was not paid in full therefore the Defendant has incurred default charges since that date, incurring £322.00 in interest since the account initially defaulted to the date it was then sold to ourselves.

As court action started on the account we then claimed County Court interest at 0.29 pence a day, commencing from 21st June 2016 plus the Court Fee of £70.00, which brings the balance of £1,414.98.

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact myself.

Kind Regards,

Nathan Southern

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...
