    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer and that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim and don't add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the members of suggested above – it should be the final version. court, that I would respectfully requestup but I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

My husband paid a backdoor CCJ sent to a previous address which we could not defend as it was too late before we found out about it from Lowell 😡

I had filled out income & expenditure for that debt and they knew/know I have very little disposable income & they also had my married name and new address.

First of all Lowell had joined Aqua and this debt together in March 2019 until July 2019.

 

They have also sent them out individually offering numerous discounts

On 15/8/19 received "Letter of Claim"

On 27/8/19 SAR...…...VANQUIS BANK... I received documents

On 27/8/19 CCA …….LOWELL

On 6/9/19 I received a letter from Lowell account on hold whilst client responds A

On 7/9/19 I received a letter from Lowell "suspended activity" B

On 12/9/19 I sent PAP ticking D and I using forms from here

On 29/10/19 letter dated 24/10/19 bundle C and credit card statements

I have deleted names thank you dx 

So I was issued with Court Claim on 15th January and I have been online MCOL and entered to defend all.

You can see from above what I have sent and received back.

With the documents I have shown you do you think I have any defence?

It looks to me as though they have provided everything asked for.

Also...Can I reclaim any charges?

Have you not already served a CPR 31.14 ?   You dont request the agreement by way of a CPR 31.14 you use a CCA (section 78) request which you have already done and they have not complied.Therefore they remain in default of your request and unable to enforce the agreement.

 

Screen shots of the application/sign up are not compliant with a Section 78 request.

A little confused but easily done!! 

I haven't sent them a CPR 31.14 as yet.

Literally ive just SAR Vanquis, CCA Lowell & filled out PAP.  

 

Received documentation from both but not credit agreement and T&C's as you've confirmed from Lowell.

 

Do i still need to send the CPR31.14?

Hi Guys.

Below is my attempt at a defence.

3 & 4 not sure I should say noted or just leave out completely.

6 ive removed b,c and d

As I can see it they have only failed to send me a credit agreement and t & c's 

Hope I haven't removed too much!!!!!

 

Date of issue – 15 Jan 2020

Particulars of Claim

1)The defendant entered into a consumer credit act 1974 regulated agreement with Vanquis

2) the defendant failed to maintain payments and arrears began to accrue

3) the agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 24/06/2015 and notice given to the defendent

4) despite repeated requests for payment, the sum of £1,211.07 remains due and outstanding

and the claimant claims

a) the said sum of £1,211.07

b) interest pursuant to s69 county courts act 1984 at the rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment

to the date of issue, accruing at a daily rate of £0.265, but limited to one year, being £96.89

c) costs 

 

#DEFENCE#

 

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 allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with Vanquis but do not recognise this specific account 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 noted. I have been served with a Default Notice pursuant to the consumer credit Act 1974.   

 

4. Paragraph 3 is noted. I am aware of the legal assignment or Notice of Assignment pursuant to the Law and Property Act 1925 Section 136(1)

 

5. On receipt of the claim form, the Defendant 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 complied and has disclosed various documents however they were unable to comply with disclosing a valid full copy of the executed agreement on which their claim relies upon.

 

6. 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


7. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed

 

8. 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

 

9. 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.

no date on that DN and the covering letter in the 1st upload does cover it for sec 87 CCa regs IMHO.

think we've seen this before with lowells and vanquis DN's.

they lost or discontinued the claim a dew days before the hearing date.

Hi dx.

So you think I should continue with my defence.

Any tweaks?

Regards,

K

P.s dx having looked at the statements is there any chance of a reclaim of interest or charges or is that going a bit too far ???

yes it needs tweaking 

i'm sure andyorch will pop in before its due Friday 4pm.

 

if you go read all the threads I pointed too you'll see theres a very good chance you'll bat this away so don't give in.

 

as for the penalty charges and the interest these caused, yes you could get those back, but that would be a separate issue to be dealt with to vanquis themselves not related to and for after your court claim. However if push comes to shove, we have seen them removed from a claimed balance if the worst happens and you have to go for a tomlin order to avoid a CCJ.

Andy,

Yes that makes sense.

Are we agreed they haven't sent me the proper agreement and t&cs only.

Apart from that they've been compliant to all requests.

Do I need to mention t&cs anywhere at this stage?

 

I have edited leaving out  do not recognise this specific account or recollect any outstanding debt "

to :

2. Paragraph 1 is noted. I have in the past had financial dealings with Vanquis and requested clarification by way of a CPR 31.14 and section 78 request.

 

Also edited :

6. 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 show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement

 

Here is the edited version :

 

Date of issue – 15 Jan 2020

Particulars of Claim

1)The defendant entered into a consumer credit act 1974 regulated agreement with Vanquis

2) the defendant failed to maintain payments and arrears began to accrue

3) the agreement was later assigned to the claimant on 24/06/2015 and notice given to the defendent

3. On receipt of the claim form, the Defendant 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 partially complied and disclosed various documents however they were unable to comply with disclosing a valid full copy of the executed agreement on which their claim relies upon.

 

4. The claimant disclosed various screenshots taken from  the originators software of the application and also confirms on their covering letter the relative legislation The Electronic Communications Act 2000 with regards to wet signatures and the requirement of a tick box to validate the application.The screenshots  are devoid of any tick box or any authenticity of IP address conformation check.Therefore the claimant remains in default of my section 78 request and pursuant to section 78  6 a of the CCA1974  the claimant is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

5. 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 show how the Defendant has entered into an agreement


6. As per Civil Procedure 16.5 it is expected that the claimants prove the allegation that the money is owed
