    • 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.

No no certainly I have mentioned and posted up the letter in #43, I will post this up again, I have also informed the Forum of the defense and the facts all which pertain to the matter, I have not hidden any facts or pointers, only where i can not delete names in a document they have not been posted up

I have uploaded the letter again, I am sure this was giving problems last time, I have not hidden any facts for me to do so would be wrong, as I am just seeking the best help for a situation where I have lost my life savings for a wedding I could not give to my daughter, I am currently on medication to assist me so I apologise if it appears I am doing something which is not intended at all

Thank you.

The letter is extremely useful because first of all, it acknowledges you as a close family member and that brings you comfortably within the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act and it will be very difficult for them to challenge that.

Secondly, they admit that it is a frustrated contract and all they are doing is trying to find a solution which does not involve making you a refund.

The fact that it is without prejudice is not relevant here for two reasons:

First of all, the without prejudice element would refer to the settlement proposals that they are making. But their admission that it is a frustrated contract has nothing to do with the settlement.

Secondly, they have admitted (by their silence) in their defence that the contract is frustrated. Their admission here is simply evidence that they accept this – and it makes even more evident that their attempt to derail your claim on the basis that you don't have locus is a highly specious argument. Their admission that the contract is frustrated goes to the substantive issue of your claim and they would not be entitled to deny it in court

I suggest that you make an application notice. There will be a fee but I think it's the fastest way to deal with this.

The application notice will basically deal with the points that we have already laid out the earlier draft, but would it will also specifically refer to their defence in which they implicitly admit that the contract is frustrated and that by way of evidence you are supplying their letter dated XXX in which not only do they acknowledge that you are a close family member and therefore likely to be a beneficiary, but also they make it clear at paragraph XXX – highlighted – that they agreed that the contract is frustrated.

On this basis, the defence lacks any validity and you request that the defence be struck out and judgement given the entire sum plus costs plus the cost of this application.

Something like that.
You would supply a copy of their letter with the relevant sentence highlighted in yellow.

In fact, I apologise – because you did post up the letter although it was at post number #53 – not 43.

I'm very sorry because it passed us by and it would have helped enormously if we had noticed it.

 

 

If you agree that this is the way to go then please post up the text of your application notice before you send it off.

I think you will need to set about this fairly quickly

I propose the following

Claim No

Leicester County Court

County Court

90 Wellington Street

Leicester

LE1 6HG

 

                               Mrs XXXXXX XXXXXX V GOOSEDALE LTD T/A GOOSEDALE

Application notice 

 

Dear Sir/madam

 

In accordance with rule 23.3 and, unless the application is made under rule 19.2(4)1, be served in accordance with rule 23.4 we ask that the Judge allows the addition of the claimant Mrs XXXXXX   XXXXXX   to the Claim and under Rule 19.2(4) and ask the Court to allow this in the Interest of Justice.

Mrs xxxxx  xxxxxx

This is to allow the matter to proceed to Court and save costs and time of the Court in the event that the matter will be heard at the County Court,, we duly attach the signed confirmation of the new Claimant who authorises Her addition, this also confirms she asks me to represent her in Court and against all actions against the defendant.

In support we confirm that the First Application:

The applicant has named themselves as claimant in this action as they are entitled under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enjoy all the rights of a directly contracting party. The applicant is the mother of the bride and in fact is the person who is responsible for the entire organisation of the wedding celebration and its arrangements and who is also paying for the entire event.

The defendant has responded to the claimant's particulars of claim and has defended on the sole point that the applicant lacks locus to sue.

Although the applicant does have locus under the 1999 Act, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicant is now formally seeking to add her daughter as an additional claimant to the action.

The addition of a second claimant does not alter the cause of action in any way. The facts are exactly the same and the applicant does not propose to make any further changes to the particulars of claim at this point.

On that basis, the addition of a second claimant is merely intended to clarify the position and is purely a technical alteration - and as no new issues have been raised in the particulars, there is no necessity for the defendant to make any further response to the claim.

It is in the interests of justice that you be allowed to proceed with your claim either on the basis of your third party rights or with an amendment which is purely technical

 

 

Application to Strike out Defence abuse of Court Process Second application:

We specifically refer to their defence in which they implicitly admit that the contract is frustrated and that by way of evidence we are supplying their letter dated  xxxx in which not only do they acknowledge that I am a close family member and therefore likely to be a beneficiary, but also they make it clear at paragraph XXX – highlighted – that they agreed that the contract is frustrated.

On this basis, the defence lacks any validity and you request that the defence be struck out and judgement given the entire sum plus costs plus the cost of this application

The Defendant has defended purely on the issue of the status of the claimant. The substantive allegation in the particulars of claim that the contract is frustrated has not been addressed and is therefore admitted by the defendant.

Accordingly, it is requested that the court enters judgement for the claimant with an order that the defendant pays the judgement sum forthwith, including Costs and interest. This will prevent further waste of Court time and costs which will be incurred for a claim which has been admitted by the defendant (please refer to attached)

 

.Costs:

As this application is merely a technical clarification but the claimant maintains their position that they are entitled to sue under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999, and as the amendment proposed by this application raises no new issues, and as the defendant has not defended on any substantive issues raised in the claim, it is requested that the court orders that the costs of this application follow the judgement.

 

 

 

Kind regards

 

Mrs XXXX  XXXXXXX

if this is all good please advise I WILL  post this out tomorrow by 13.00hrs by recorded delivery and post up the final version

 

Thank you

I think you might be better off downloading a form N244 and then working from that. Although in theory there is nothing to stop you making an application by means of a letter, I think that it may not be appreciated that it is a formal application.

Start off with the proper court form and then you can attach extra evidence and also your statement

I'm just thinking over this, and I think it might be to your advantage to prepare the N244 and then to write a nice letter to the defendants, pointing out what you are proposing to do and suggesting to them that if they consented, it would save a lot of time and a lot of hassle for everybody including them and the court.

Frankly it would be very sensible of them to consent and if they did then that would probably just about bring an end to the litigation. On the other hand if they objected, then I think that we would include this in the application notice and point out to the court that you had sought to discuss this with the defendants and they were being uncooperative and this was a further reason why costs should be awarded in your favour.

I think this is the correct way to go
