    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: 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. 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 written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s 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. 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. 4. Point 3 is noted. 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. 5. 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. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. 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 *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. 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. 11. 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 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter 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. 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 it’s truth.

    • 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 am assuming that as:

that the Court has to take into account s8 when making judgement, but only if the defendant raises it.

 

In terms of proportionality, would it be proportional that missing a couple of £300/month payments (as an example) result in losing your home?

 

Possibly more importantly, if the balance of the account was in dispute due to arrears charges, this dispute would need to be resolved before possession could be given... Would any BS be willing to try and justify their arrears charges in a Court?

 

At least that's as best I can interpret it... I need more time to try and understand...

 

This seems to be the opinion expressed here:

Although a private landlord is not a public authority, the court is a public authority. In Zehentner –v- Austria [2009] 20082/02 ECHR 1119 the European Court held, in a case involving two private individuals, that where there was no assessment of the proportionality of the decision to sell the property in question, the individual’s Article 8 rights had been violated. A similar statement was made in Belchikova*. This is in contrast to an earlier decision*. Unfortunately, in Pinnock, the Supreme Court did not decide whether Convention rights could be enforced against private landlords. Until there is a decision, such landlords may find that defendants rely on Article 8 in mandatory possession claims arguing that they should be able to argue that it is not proportionate to grant a possession order, and domestic law is not compatible with Article 8. This will result in additional costs and delay as only the High Court (not the County Courts) can determine incompatibility issues. If a proportionality test is ultimately introduced it will make it harder for private landlords to obtain possession as they might for the first time have to argue that it is proportionate to make a possession order.

That's all Ok for BF to write but what does he actually know? That's Redstone. And I have no idea where he gets the thought that damages won't be offered from the Fos!

 

To tell people not to make a complaint..hmpphh..It's a free option and not all people can afford to waste the courts time without mediation as he may have done. The court option is always open every step of the way unless you accept a final decision. For further issues you still have other steps....you can take them to court if the Fos haven't looked at or addressed them.

 

To say it's 'completely clear' .......If it were that clear everyone would be getting a refund and not being dragged through the courts.

 

 

I think that the evidence that the FOS will only award 8% interest has been demonstrated many many times over the years. Despite the fact that the FOS site says that they calculate their awards in a way which is intended to ensure that the customer has not lost out all, this is very definitely not the case. FOS awards never seem to consider or take account of any ancillary damage your problems which might have been caused by the misconduct of the financial institution. I'm certainly not aware that the FO S have ever made an award calculated on the basis of restitutionary damages– or even contractual interest for that matter.

 

FOS decisions routinely take 12 months at least – and of course we hear lots of stories of cases still being considered as long as two years later. Once again, the overall impression is that the lender is happy to let the case go to the FOS and then at some point much later, to try and settle the matter with a payment including 8% interest. If people really want to avoid court action, then the FOS is the only way to go. There is no doubt that it is completely cheap and risk-free. On the other hand it prolongs the hassle and the distress and the not-knowing. As has been said many times elsewhere on this forum, the FOS is the preferred route of financial institutions and therefore it follows that the County Court route should be the preferred route of ordinary litigants.

 

Although we have never had a judgement yet which has ended up with an award restitution damages, this is not because such award has been refused – but rather because the litigant has eventually agreed to settle out of court and has accepted the statutory 8%. In all cases where this has happened, it has been well within 12 months and often less than six months – and during the bank charges revolution in 2006, these kinds of settlements were being achieved very often within three months. This kind of timescale is impossible with the FOS.

 

These FSA decisions – not only in respect of Redstone but also in respect of Deutschebank our brand-new decisions. They are extremely high level and extremely serious. I cannot imagine any financial institution putting up much resistance now to any claim for mortgage arrears charges. Despite this, I can certainly imagine that there will be an attempt – as we found with bank charges – to use tactics to where people out or to persuade people to accept reduced settlements. One of these tactics would be to require people to begin a complaint to the FOS. The FOS have themselves reported that they felt that their own process was being used simply as a hurdle to remedy, and they criticised the banks for that.

 

If anybody wants to go to the FOS then they should do and we look forward to hearing progress reports about how their complaints have gone. I'm afraid that I don't really expect that people will be very pleased – and as I have said, they will certainly not be offered restitution damages. Furthermore the FOS will not make any orders or recommendations as to the cleaning up of credit files and the FOS will certainly not get involved in compensating anyone for the improper loss of their homes or for distress caused by the imposition of unlawful charges all the registering of improper defaults or other negative entries on their credit files.

 

The only way to have any effect on financial institutions is to take them to court. If, in 2006 and 2007, bank charges claimants had merely bought their complaints to the ombudsman, the whole matter would never ever have peaked in the test case and the public consideration of the whole issue of the fair treatment of customers.

My high street bank does, as do the FOS.

 

Without repeating myself too much:

 

1. the FOS say that even though GMAC, Redstone etc have been fined, MY bank wasn't so the Final Notices mean nothing to them.

2. the FOS say that they cannot investigate mortgage arrears charges so will not ask the bank for a breakdown, but consider the charges fair. And since the bank won't give ME a breakdown, who else is left to ask them (other than a court).

3. the FOS say that, in the absence of arrears charges being judged unfair by a court, they remain fair.

4. my bank says the charges are fair and not excessive.

 

the only people who might benefit from the FSA fines are customers with those banks. Otherwise it doesn't seem to apply to anyone else. And the FSA don't look at individual complaints but refer you to the FOS.

Firstly the Fos do award compensation. How you want that to be worked out is not for me to say but it is there. We are looking at several situations and not a one size fits all. You still have the options, and although they go unpublished, they do reach the court stage to settle.

 

Some people don't have the 'choice' as I've said before. The money, the time scales and the not knowing with the courts too. Some judges don't have a bloomin' clue even when presented with a run of the mill budget sheet, so for them to look a case and to trust in the them to make the right ruling?

 

I don't think you've been through the FOS, and I wouldn't expect you to have been. 2 years, yes it can take that long but you have a chance to get all your papers in order during that time. I got caught in amongst those encouraged to claim for pennies and that slowed the system down. They had as much right to claim as I had but it put pressure on the service that's understandable. It's no good getting angry or frustrated, these things happen!

 

An SAR takes 40 days alone and you may need more than one. I went through all this a few years ago and before joining CAG. I feel let down by the attitude shown by people that probably haven't even used the service to its full extent but still slate it.

 

To make a court claim you need to work out what is you are claiming for and with the confusing and false statements sent out by Capstone it's awkward to say the least. You have to be an instant accountant and paralegal to boot.

 

On the contrary, my lender was not pleased at all that I used the FOS. And if you care to read the background on the company you'll see that they are eager to gain possession as soon as possible.

 

My point is that I had a good experience with the FOS and didn't do it for reward. I made mistakes too and I admit that and all was asked for is fairness. Remind me again of the win with the banks? Remind me how much money people have lost chasing the court route for charges? These are homes and houses remember. People that want nothing more than just to keep a roof over their head and probably don't care a hoot about compensation or even know about the interest rate . That can come later. Cleaning your credit file would be one of the last things thought about and you can do that easily yourself with no need to inform the FOS.

 

Although I respect your views I can't agree with you at this point.

I don't think I have one that tells the whole story all the way through on here as I'd already gone through it all before I found the threads on this site regarding SPML and Capstone.

 

That's a good idea though and if I can dig out all the paperwork I could probably scan up some letters showing how the case was dealt with if you think that would be of help to anyone.

No problem about anyone starting a new thread.

Hi

It's been a long time since I wrote her about SPML. 

I started the above thread which gained a lot of response.

 

In 2011, I gave up my fight due to my partner comitting suicide due to the stress and years of fighting and getting nowhere in court or through FSA.

 

The property was repossessed and 9 years ago.

Since then I have had serious illness and surgery.

My brain doesn't work as good as it used to due to neurological problems, but, I'm back and ready to fight a new challenge.

For the sake of everything I went through fighting for our home.

 

I'm looking at going for Mis-selling, against the broker, as the financial advisor is retired.

Unfair charges for late payment fees, Arrears management fees, Litigation Management fee and any other fee they have on there that they slapped on with Ascenden as they are ones who put the final knife in the back.

 

A mortgage for £96k and apparently owe £158k on total of mortgage and a shortfall of £58k.

 

Credit File is clear and never shown them on there in the last 5 years.

 

What I am wanting to know is

- Has anyone challenged and been successful of the above?

If so, could anyone direct me on where to start please.

A mortgage is 12 years to claim. This does not show on my credit file.

I'm a bit dubious on sending a SAR in case they start harassing me again.

 There is also the fact that once repossession occurred, it would be an unsecured debt, therefore am I out of the timescale and would it only be classed as a loan?

Catch 22 really!

Not quite....a shortfall after repossession is mortgage capital the money you originally borrowed. For this part of a mortgage shortfall debt, the lender has 12 years to use court action to make you pay. This is under section 20 (1) of the Limitation Act.

 

If you owe interest ....Mortgage interest is the interest you were charged to borrow the money. Your lender may also charge interest after your home is sold. For this part of a mortgage shortfall debt, the lender has six years to use court action to make you pay. This is under section 20 (5) of the Limitation Act

 

Neither become unsecured.

Thank you Andy.

Since I last posted nearly a year ago,I have instructed a solicitor to act on my behalf.

Ascenden have been dragging their heels for nearly 3 months now on issuing a SAR for my deceased husband. The solicitor has all my information. I have given old letters with my husbands name on, and his death certificate and our  marriage certificate which have proof of his signature.

I have today received an update from my solicitor.

"

Since our last email, we have been in correspondence with Acenden to challenge the response. Acenden are claiming that they are not required to release documents and information related to Mr. ?. The solicitors here are challenging this assertion and hope to be able to obtain the full unredacted documents.

 

We will be in touch when we have more information for you. Apologies for the significant delays to Acenden’s response – we are doing what we can to challenge them."

 

It seems from what the solicitor has told me, from my SAR, that they are looking at unlawful possession of the property. They have seen how they have played in to us being in arrears.

When the sale of the property went through, it wasn't just interest added, but a shortfall of the actual mortgage itself. The monthly payment being made was only paying interest off and not repayment making us over 3 years missed mortgage payments.

It has never shown on my credit record at all since possession in 2012.
