    • I've given it a try, I expect alot of work required so will give my eyes and brain a rest as I'm getting word blind.. and I'll come back later following your initial bashings Thanks 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. 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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants 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. 4. The Claimant claims a Notice of Assignment was served on the 22/02/2022. This is denied. 5. The Claimant claims a Default Notice was served on the defendant. This is denied. 6. 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. 7. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. 8. Point 3 is noted and denied. 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. 9. Point 5 is noted and disputed. 10. 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. 11. Point 11 is noted and disputed. 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. 12. 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 *** (dates are wrong) 13. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 14. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. Conclusion 15. 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. 16. 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 17. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter into settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter into 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • eh?...no you are simply telling them you have moved...
    • I agree with you. You and the company are separate legal entities so the company property that you damaged is third party property as far as you are concerned..  Get the company to write to you holding you formally responsible for the damage to their fence with the quotations for the repair. Send it by post (proof of posting) to Prima and ask them to confirm they will deal with the the third party directly. Best that someone other than you writes on behalf of the company! I suspect this is simply lack of knowledge by staff on customer service desks who don't understand the concept of companies and their shareholders being separate legal entities. If Prima still make difficulties use their formal complaints system until either they agree to cover the TP claim or issue a deadlock letter. You can then go the FCA.

    • 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.

they have sent you the wrong cut and paste letter and it is clear they havent spoken to their clients either. They are trying to blindside you into paying up as they get a wedge out of anything you send.

I would suggest that you wait for a lba and then tell them agin waht a bunch of wazzocks they are for being unable to read or count.

I found it a bit strange when reading it.

They repeated, almost verbatim, some of the contents of the responses from Excel.

They probably share the same documents to cut and paste from.

 

I'm going to have a good Christmas and New Year and look forward to their next feeble attempts at bullying.

All the best, and look forward to the next thrilling instalment.

Will and John, the worlds cleverest solicitors at Gladstones are also Will and John, owners of the IPC, the worlds dodgiest ATA for parking. The reason the letters look the same is they probably wrote the originals for Excel to copy from.

 

Understand, they are not honest brokers, they act for their client and their cliet as solicitors are members of the club that charges then for pushing them towards the lawyerly aspect of their life. They amke money regardless of whether the parking co loses it for following their crap advice.

A read of the legislation for county courts will provide you with conflicting info on who may represent a person at court 

 

My reading is this bloke may pitch up in person but not an employee of the company.

At this stage anyone can fill out letters as the representative.

 

Read up on MIL Collectiosnsand you will see that they have history and a track record of LOSING

I hope you all had a good Christmas and New Year!

Thanks to all for your input.

 

Here's my proposed response:

 

With reference to your letter of December 2019, reference as above, its contents are acknowledged.

The matter has been passed to yourselves after BW Legal’s failed attempts to bully me into submission; using lies, mistruths and threats of legal proceedings. Perhaps they saw the error of their ways - perhaps not!

As before, I’ll keep this simple so as to avoid confusion.

The Particulars of Debt in your letter are unsubstantiated.

We parked, I paid.


As your client insists on taking Court action, then please advise them that I will make a request to the Court for full costs due to unreasonable behaviour (CPR Part 27.14(2)(g)).

Respnd as follows

 

Dear sirs,

I would look forward to seeing you in court but as you have no right of audience in the capacity you correspond in that wont happen.

Tell your client that they know there is no cause for action and they are in breach of the GDPR for obtaining my data so it should be me sending  them threatograms rather than some lickspittle earning a less than honest crust threatening me.

If they have any sense, which would be a very rare thing for a parking company, they will now drop the matter rather than suffer a full costs recovery order for their unreasonable conduct and vex

The data was obtained pre-GDPR. The PCN was issued on the 14th May 2018, with GDPR becoming effective on the 25th May 2018. Unless it can be applied retrospectively, I feel this is a moot point.

 

Just found an interesting article : https://www.vsec.infinigate.co.uk/blog/according-to-the-gdpr-it-is-in-force-already :

 

Quote

 

The final commandment that is article 99 reads:

  1. - This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official - Journal of the European Union.
  2. - It shall apply from 25 May 2018.

One number short of an upside-down mark of the beast, the 99th article suggests that the GDPR has been in force since the twentieth day subsequent to its publication, that being the 17th of May 2016. Yet, its application is not honoured until two years after.

It's been all quiet since my last posting, but it appears the sleeping giant has decided to wake up.

 

This morning I received the County Court Claim Form from Northampton - attached.

 

As you will see from the particulars they have gone down the avenue of 'parking without payment', despite having provided them with the proof that I did pay.

 

Naturally, I'm going to defend and am starting to put it all together.

 

Do I have grounds to put in a counter claim or not, and would it be worth the cost and effort?

 

Any advice on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated.

Not a good idea to go for a counter claim-that prevents them from discontinuing their claim. 

 

They are taking you to Court for the wrong reason.

You did pay even if not within their imaginary ten minute payment period when you were able to stay there for 12 hours And you would have paid within their time period had their system been working proficiently. It is not equitable that you are penalised for the shortcomings in their system. 

 

As you paid then they had no reason to apply to the DVLA for your data-a clear breach of Data Protection regulations and should

attract a penalty of around  £500 at least.

 

They do not say whether they are pursuing you as the driver or keeper.

I have not seen their NTK to see if the POFA regs were followed though you inadvertently have revealed during your appeals that you were the driver.

 

In addition they have added an extra £60 to the charge which has been referred to as an abuse of process by many Judges including this case which you should mention in your WS.

Look at post 1 and the actual summing up of the case by the Judge on the last section of post 1.

you have grounds for going after them but do this as a separate action if you are minded to.

Win this one first and you make that journey much smoother and you may get a payout from them when you slap them with a LBA, it has happened before.

 

So for the moment, acknowledge the claim and prepare your draft defence, which at this point will be just bullet points such as

 

" the prescribed fee was paid by the driver at the time so no breach of contact has occurred.

 

The defendant has the parking receipt issued at the time and the claimant has known this from the outset.

 

The defendant invites the court to use its management powers to strike out the claim under CPR 3.4 as the claim is vex and order a full costs recovery order under CPR 27.12.2(g) should the matter go further"

 

now this may or may not get read and acted upon at this stage  but chances are by the time it gets to a local court ordering both sides to produce their full statements it will be on the top of the pile and Excel's ring  will be twitching

Hi,

Thanks for that.

I have acknowledged the claim and indicated I intend to defend.

 

I've been looking at all the communications on this and the various differing claims - "didn't pay for the first 90+ minutes", "contravention time 18:01 (when leaving car park)" etc. and was trying to decide whether to defend purely on the Particulars of Claim - "Parked without payment...", or whether to also bring into it the afore mentioned different allegations.

 

I think your suggested draft defence answers this (PoC), but any other thoughts and guidance would be appreciated.

you can only defend the claim they have made so stick to the simple couiple of sentences. WHEN it gets to exchanging documants and statements you can chuck in the kitchen sink.

Tr and write about somehting they arent claiming for and they might get your defence thrown out and thus you lose by default.
