    • Hey people, I've been browsing this amazing forum for the past year and recieved a letter today which has made me require some help. Received a claim form from Cabot in the Civil National Business Centre in regards to an Aqua Credit Card taken out in 2018. I failed to make payments due to financial hardship and have not taken out any credit or uses any forms of credit since. Received a lot of letters from Cabot and their solicitors Mortimer Clarke which I've ignored    By an agreement between New Day Ltd RE Aqua& the Defendant on or around 26/03/2018 ('ths Agreement) New Day Ltd RE Aqua agreed to issue Defendant with a credit card. The Defendant failed to make the minimum payments due. The Agreement was terminated following the service of a default notice. The Agreement was assigned to the named Claimant. Cabot Credit Management Group Limited, acting as servicing agent of the named Claimant through its Appointed Representative (Cabot Financial (Europe) Limited), has arranged for these proceedings to be issued in the name of the Claimant. The named Claimant may be entitled to claim interest under the Agreement but does not seek such interest and instead claims interest under Section 69(1) of the County Courts Act 1984 at 8% p.a.from03/03/2023 until date of issue only, or alternatively such interest as the Court thinks fit THE NAMED CLAIMANT THEREFORE CLAIMS 1. 3800.82 2. INTEREST OF 379.84 3. Costs How would I go about this and what could happen? I don't remember much details about the card either.
    • cause like you said in post one, 99% of people think these are FINES (it now reads charge). and wet themselves and cough up. they are not, they are speculative invoices because the driver supposedly broke some imaginary contract by driving onto privately owned land which said owner may or may not have signed some 99% fake contract with a private parking co years ago, thats already expired or has not been renewed or annually paid to employ them dx  
    • My car DVLA details are 100% correct and up to date, guaranteed.  I lived at my address longer than I have owned the car and made sure the details were correct when we transferred ownership of the car, so it's not that.  It must be their second-hand eBay cameras.  I've emailed the CEO with evidence and laid it on.  I will keep this post updated with the outcome.  Thanks again FTMDave .  I appreciate the guidance. I hate these predatory parking cowboys.  How are they even legal?
    • there isn't one use that default dx  
    • upto you, if you have no assets like a home in the UK, there is absolutely nothing they can do even if they do get a judgement. i see you state last payment was 2021, so i will guess your notification to lloyds of a change of address was sent within the last 6yrs so they should have record of it on their system. why not give them a ring and ask what address they have for you? you could do AOS and defend the claim stating you are and have been resident in xyz since date, here is proof.  you could also send that to PRA demanding they discontinue the claim immediately. see what you can find out. you've till atleast the 19th (aos date) . dx

    • 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.

It was set to zero in 2015, and that’s when it ‘switched’ account numbers. It says on the loan report ‘state of account is repaid - written off’

As far as I can make out, the original loan account ceased to exist in 2015.

Again, happy to stand corrected as there is so much stuff in the SAR and it’s incredibly confusing!

Maybe it only reached the written off stage when it was sold to Lowell, it's just that the only dates on there are the 2015 ones......

I think the 17 December just relates to my SAR request and when it was processed by them. 

The account was sold to Lowell in December  2019 under the account number I don't recognise apparently.

I'm sure I saw something about the account being written off on one of the Westcott screenshots, but I need to go back and find it again.

Apparently Copies of Default, Enforcement, Termination and Assignment notices are not saved by Customer name so Halifax are unable to provide copies under a DSAR.

 

I have contacted the DSAR team today because the only glossary of terms missing relates to recoveries, therefore I'm having difficulty completely understanding some of the terminology.

 

With regards to the potential write off of the loan in 2015 there is an entry on the repayment sheet listed under WRO , Bad Debt account transfer and the balance is set to 0

 

On an accompanying sheet there is an entry, among others that says ' Set recoveries write off'

 

There are no other  mentions of the account being written off before the sale to Lowell in 2019.

These entries are on the same day  in Feb 2016.

 

Without the glossary I can't be sure what the 'WRO' stands for so I'm hoping that they will send me the list I've asked for...... although the phone call asking for it was like pulling teeth...

Account transfer would appear to be logical as I've already said...complete write offs are as rare as chickens teeth.

On the upside.....given Halifax have no documents...then neither do Lowell.

I Submitted my defence last weekend,. In short, denying all allegations and requesting that the claim be struck out as claimant has no documents to support their claim and  have failed to provide any evidence whatsoever that any monies are owed to them by me and I considered it an abuse of process.

 

I have now received their directions questionnaire where they are championing 'Mediation over the telephone'

 

Should I agree to mediation once I receive the questionnaire from the court bearing in mind the dispute is about the existence of the alleged account and the lack of documents to prove it exists/ existed?

 

All I can say in mediation is that I've never heard of the account...... Do Lowell have to provide documents to the mediator? 

 

Thanks in advance for any advice offered and sorry if the answers can be found elsewhere, but I'm not sure where to look 🤓

If by then you still dont have enough info to make an informed decision..you say no.

Thank you both.

My defence was as vague as their Claim.

 

1. I am the defendant in this claim and litigant in person. All allegations made by the claimant are denied.

 

2. The defendant does not recognise the alleged agreement xxxxxxxxxxx as mentioned in the particulars of claim therefore it is denied that any such agreement exists.

 

3. The defendant has requested copies of the alleged agreement under Data Subject Access Request, Consumer Credit act 1974 s.77/8 and Civil Procedure Rules 31.4 but to date the claimant has failed to provide a copy of this document.

 

4.The defendant has also requested copies of the default and termination notice for the alleged account xxxxxxxxx as required to legally enforce the alleged debt, but again the claimant has failed to provide either.

 

5. In addition the defendant has requested copies of statements for the alleged account xxxxxxx showing the amount of monies allegedly owed to the claimant. To Date these have not been provided.

 

6. The defendants view is that this claim is vexatious and an abuse of process as the claimant has failed to provide any documentation to support their claim and respectfully requests that the said claim be struck out.

 

As an aside, I noticed that the 'statement' they did provide had a different figure on it to what they are claiming, so I will hopefully be able to flesh out quite a bit in my skeleton argument.

Hi all,

 

I filled in the allocation questionnaire, sent it to Lowell and the court agreeing to mediation.

 

Lowells response was to send me a Tomlin Order.

 

I contacted Lowell to inform them that I would not be signing their Tomlin order and advised them I had only agreed to mediation in the hopes that they would provide some documents.

 

I then received another email basically trying to bully me into admitting I had this alleged account/loan.

I decided that mediation was no longer a good idea and have cancelled it and elected to go for a hearing.

At least the Judge will see what trash they have provided me with as 'evidence'.

 

One thing Lowell has said is that they do not need a default notice as the alleged loan is now past its fixed term.... is this correct or is this another dirty tactic?

 

I always thought one was needed to legally enforce a debt.

 

Perhaps those in the know can advise me. Thanks in advance....

 

Happy days,

 they do not need a default notice as the alleged loan is now past its fixed term

 

Depends on what date the breach (default) of contract occurred...I doubt very much is was after the fixed term and more likely half way through it. Therefore the agreement never reached its fixed term....and the creditor must serve a default notice to allow you the opportunity and time to rectify any breach to allow the agreement to resume subject to b) and c) below.

 

A fixed term loan cant possibly continue its full term when there as been a breach in the agreement.

 

sec 88 Contents and effect of default notice.

(1)The default notice must be in the prescribed form and specify—

(a)the nature of the alleged breach;

(b)if the breach is capable of remedy, what action is required to remedy it and the date before which that action is to be taken;

(c)if the breach is not capable of remedy, the sum (if any) required to be paid as compensation for the breach, and the date before which it is to be paid.

Thank you Andyorch, that's extremely helpful.

The default they are saying that's not needed, according to them was served in 2008, the alleged loan was for 7 years taken out in 2005, so they are contradicting themselves left right and centre.

 

Despite the fact that I have made a huge faux pas in engaging with Lowell with regards to mediation, it has actually given me a heads up in to how they were going to attempt to ambush me.

I've informed the court and the mediation service that I won't be partaking and I shall sit here quietly waiting for the next move. 🤐
