    • why waste money on scammers? all you need in law is to prove something was sent. use a 2nd class stamp and get free proof of posting from any po counter. dx  
    • Tracked is NOT necessary. 1st or 2nd class will suffice. Just make sure you obtain free proof of posting and KEEP IT SOMEWHERE SAFE...
    • 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: _____________________

    • 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.

Question................

mbna debt sold to Exporto,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

am I correct in thinking I have no agreement with this company so why should I pay them anything,

I have signed nothing with Exporto have agreed to nothing,

or is it not that easy??????????????

 

adding to above...............

 

.Have been reading a long thread about Experto and Varde Investments Ireland............

 

...Varde have purchased the debt from MBNA and Experto are writing to me on behalf of Varde..............

 

my view is I need a letter from Varde stating they have purchased the debt and that they give Experto the authority to act on their behalf,

I think this is not to much to ask...............

 

..It then raises the point I do not have any agreement with Varde,

I have signed nothing,

can I refuse to pay them or is the debt enforceable by Varde or Experto????????????????...FS

 

Any one got on ideas of how I stand with Experto,there are conflicting threads..............FS

...FS

Hi Firstship,

 

What was the situation prior to it going to Experto, did you have a DN from MBNA?

 

Did you receive a NOA?

 

There are others on here (me included) where MBNA sold on to Experto before the expiry of the DN.

 

I would also recommend SAR to establish the dates and go from there.

Hi...Dotty50.....some time since been in touch...........The NOA just a line in a letter from MBNA,nothing from Varde and I am not happy having Experto act on their behalf even though I am aware they are a part of Varde,until I get written confirmation from Varde that they have bought the debt and Experto has the authority to represent them...............MBNA sold to Varde before DN expiry.....How did you deal with this???????, will use SAR if Experto and Varde do not comply.....................thanks...........FS

You say just a line from MBNA, you sure it wasn!t in a Experto Credite envelope as happens, if MBNA sent to NOA it should be Recorded Delivery direct from them I understand? is your DN valid MBNA usualy are not so some extent??

Here is my thread firsthip, not updated of late because of more pressing matters to deal with at home.

 

Although I wrote to Experto advising of Unlawful rescission, it seems it would have been better not to have acknowledged them as any NOA should be sent by recorded delivery.

 

I believe that Varde do not have a uk licence which is why Experto act on their behalf.

Hi.thanks for the response.................DN dated 09/08/2010...............letter from MBNA dated 24/08/2010 confirming a DN is in place and states the account has now been legally assigned to Experto Credite.............on the 01/09/2010,Expertos letter states "we are writing to advise you that Varde Investments (Ireland) Ltd has bought the interest of MBNA in the above reference account,including the outstanding balance.Consequently,Varde is now the legal owner of your account.Under the terms of the Asssignment Experto Credite has been appointed by Varde to recover any and all outstanding sums" Am I correct in assuming the DN is faulty because of the 14 day ruling,am I further correct in having written to Experto that no notice of transfer by Varde and no confirmation from Varde that they authorise Experto to act on their behalf is the correct route to take............thankyou.....FS

Bet 1st one came in Experto envelope, seeing hand writen date?

 

your name is on the DN

 

Letter DN DATED 9/8/2010 you say 6 days for delivery = say 14th = 14 days is to 29/08/2010 clear days (14) 30th August 2010, maybe sar them as they probably sold earlier seems to be the norm,. Disputed DN I would say, if that other letter genuinly came from MBNA was it Recorded delivery to you, see what others have to say more experianced?

 

i would ask somebody but an account in dispute letter to Experto I would suggest, also MBNA

I'm in the same boat. Be carefully with Experto as they are not very nice.

 

However, if the default notice is invalid like mine, then you are only liable for the arrears at the time of the invalid default notice. (Less costs for unlawful temrination) In my case, they have also refused to send me information under my subject access request. They have denied receiving a notice, with payment even they they have spoken about it and signed of it.

Anybody any ideas,MBNA sold debt to Varde Ireland and Experto say they act for Varde.............I feel Varde should supply DOA,is this correct???????Varde should also supply a letter stating they have assigned Experto to act on their behalf??????is this correct????When a debt is sold am I correct in assuming a new contract should be required between the new owner of the debt and myself??????????????I am trying to apply some logic to this problem,my contract was with MBNA,Varde purchased the debt so the contract is now void with MBNA but there is not a new signed contract with Varde???????????????HELP ON THIS PLEASE...............................FS

done the account in dispute letter to Experto,they are quick with their demanding letters,slow at replies when you dispute anything

I will try reply within 7 days or, thats the problem CCCS will not allow me to take Experto/Varde of my creditors list on the basis of CCA dispute.I am still on "no interest" so do not want to rock the boat to much........................thanks FS

 

Sorry missed out...................Still feel Varde Ireland need to supply DOA plus letter confirming that Experto can act for them,and I am still in doubt about"new debt owner but no new agreement does the agreement with MBNA still become enforceable even with a new debt owner?????????????

At the moment I am paying Experto and accepting their word that they are acting for Varde

,not happy about this and yet CCCS are happy to pay them, on my behalf???????FS

no experto imply verdi ownership, no MBNA notification, you ask verdi for information, you will no doubt receive letter saying they will contact MBNA for DOA , but wait wait wait for it here we go: a so called letter in an Experto Credita Envelope saying DOA, so they are sending out their own see [previous posting on subject, see post 8?) then check date of so called letter? KEEP ENVELOPE.

Experto have produced a copy of a signed APPLICATION FORM and state this complies with s78 in my view an Application Form is not an Agreement...ANY VIEWS....still fighting with Experto that Varde have not confirmed purchase of debt and I am not prepared to accept Expertos word that they act for Varde...ANY MORE VIEWS...........FS

Hi..Dotty...... long time............the Application Form has my signature and all other details comply with an application,their letter is a short sharp we consider this complies with the s78 request and the correct T&Cs where included..............my stand is an application form is not an agreement,however a number of site managers seem to feel the signed application form with T&Cs and proof of payments made in the past are sufficient to comply..................FS

So they are putting a little more into their response, mine just said, please find enclosed a copy of the agreement, please contact us to resolve payment!

 

No mention of s78.

 

You will probably get letters from CMC (Credit Management Consultants) next.

 

I have recently had 6 in about the same amount of weeks!
