    • Your point 4 deals with that and puts them to strict proof .....but realistically they are not in a position to state that within their particulars they were not the creditor at the time of default but naturally assume the OC would have...so always worth challenging and if you get a DJ who knows his onions on the day may ask for further evidence from the OC internal accounts system. 
    • I see, shame, I think if a claim is 'someone was served' then proof of that should be mandatory. Appreciate your input into the WS whenever you get chance, thanks in advance
    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so. Creditors are not compelled to keep copies of the actual default notice so you will in most cases get a reconstituted version but must contain accurate figures/dates/format.     .    
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 24/12/2022. 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 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. 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.

seems to me what might happen , is everything goes quiet until after the two by election likely defeats
then either the "men in grey suits" give Johnson a tap on the shoulder (which he would likely ignore anyway)
or we have a Thatcher moment when the cabinet troop in one by one and tell him his time is up (though he'd probably sack the lot and carry on anyway 😀)

the main 'unfit to hold office' person who empowered the others now unfit in office

- not that we had much choice or chance at the time of actually getting anyone 'fit for office'

 

- and even now the alternative options are really mainly for people fit for office rather than outstanding inspiring leaders - but I'll take that hoping it will reverse the downwards trend we've been seeing

So the government are already threatening to call an early election. It was also Smug who came up with proroguing Parliament.

 

From the Times: 'He said that because the fixed-term parliaments act had been revoked, Johnson could turn any vote in the Commons into a confidence vote. If he lost, it would trigger the dissolution of parliament and an election. A source who was at the meeting said: “Jacob was making the point that this was something nobody, even the rebels, wants.” '

 

Never mind that on the latest figures Johnson would lose his seat.

Government will start to throw money around it has not got.  See todays story about people on benefits being enabled to take out mortgages. No doubt with Government subsidy and guarantor financial backing.

 

This is just the start. Get ready for cuts in some taxes and announcements of money to be spent on supporting communities (red wall seats won in 2019).

Absolutely UB, Rishi  has already started, expect another handout next year Joe Biden style (though its not done him much good so far)
But I still think if he throws enough  money at people the Tories will be the largest party at the next GE , regardless of By election results

I'm not sure a handout next year is going to cut it, people are having problems already.

 

Meanwhile two other rail unions are threatening to join the RMT this summer in timing that could affect the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. As they're already 5,000 people short to run the games and are talking about the army for that, I don't see them being available to help with the railways.

 

Summer of Discontent, anyone?

There is nothing wrong with NI protocol, but there is a problem with the DUP.

 

Even if UK Government managed to agree revised processes with the EU, so there were no significant delays for 99% of goods at the border in Belfast, the DUP would not be happy. The problem for the DUP is that NI is being treated differently than England, Scotland and Wales.

 

I understand the difficulties the Government is having as legally they cannot break protocol terms, but don't understand why they think clever tactical maneuvers are going to change the position of the DUP.

 

Government could end up breaking the law and not really changing much.

You're right UB. The DUP seem to have the same mindset as the ERG in that nothing is ever good enough and every time there is a concession, they move the goalposts and want more.

 

There must be a trust issue after Johnson stitched up the DUP with the border in the Irish Sea and then lied about it. In fact, I don't ever remember him admitting he knew what he was doing to NI border checks.

I don't know if the food policy announcement is being made on Monday now, as it looks as if the NI bill is ready with the Truss/Frost/ERG amendments in it. The papers today are saying that's out on Monday.

 

Anyway, the food strategy hasn't gone down well with some.

I see Tossus-Potus has replaced the prior lead bonus of brexit - delaying any implementation to prevent collapse of UK business

- with a new one - reintroducing more powerful vacuum cleaners ..

 

err .. No one can afford to run vacuums that use double the electricity except your servants using your 3,500 pound MPs 'energy expense allowance' Tossus 

 

and as pointed out by Tom Peck:

"Who is going to manufacture these vacuum cleaners? And are they going to bother producing a more powerful version solely for the UK market?

The answer to that is no. If the UK were a big enough vacuum-cleaner market on its own, one suspects that leading Brexiteer and vacuum magnate James Dyson might not have relocated his company to Singapore."

In simple terms (as I understand it) 

The liar + sweller the rubber stamper (plus the numpty brigade) are relying on the “doctrine of necessity” which apparently can ONLY be invoked when a country’s interests are in

1. “grave and imminent peril”

2. for reasons to which it has not contributed

 

Seems to me that

* Johnson et arses al are the ones who negotiated and forced through the protocol in full awareness of the implications however much they may have simply hoped or even (unreasonably) expected that they wouldn't have to deliver (strike one)

* Johnsons populists and the DUPs political wants (and the political aims of the DUP as a now minority party) is what is causing grave and imminent peril to the UK rather than the protocol (strike two)

* NI largely has the best of both worlds (cake and eat it) and is actually prospering beyond the overall UK under the protocol  (strike three)

* Breaching the agreement with the EU is likely to cause considerably more issues for NI than there are with it in place (strike four)

It sounds tenuous to me but we may never find out unless there's an international court case over this.

 

Just saw this in the Guardian live feed.

 

Boris Johnson has floated the prospect of the UK pulling out of the European convention on human rights if that turns out to be necessary to allow the Rwanda deportation policy to continue, the Mail’s Jason Groves reports.

Here we go again. Rather than get a decent policy, let's wreck the institution/convention that's standing in our way. Baby out with the bathwater in my view and the British public will be the losers.
