    • 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.

    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

Right, this might get a little long winded because I am still trying to sort it all out in my head at the minute...

 

Bit of background on myself.

 

I opened this account for starting life at university. I found, as I know most students do, keeping my finances in order (paying for food and clothes) increasingly difficult and seemed to always end up going over my agreed overdraft limit. I had some personal health problems that caused me to leave university and move home and I took a couple of years to find my feet.

 

Anyways now I’m back to full health I’m trying to clear up the mess I made.

 

I’ve applied for and received a record of all charges raised on my BOS Student Account and would like to ask you all a few questions regarding what I am entitled to claim back.

 

I’m trying to put together a spreadsheet of charges and am not too sure on what I can include and what I cannot.

 

On many months I appear to have gone over my overdraft limit and subsequently have been charged in the following month a £8.50 ACCOUNT MAINTANENCE CHARGE. Can I add these to the claim as they are under the £12 amount?

 

Later on in the life of the account, around June 2001, I’ve noticed charges of £20 named EXCESS O/D CHARGE whenever an item has been paid with insufficient funds. I am guessing that these are claimable?

 

Since 30 August 2002 the overdraft limit on the account was removed and large interest charges started to be levied on the account. In January 2003 my dad entered into correspondence with the bank, on my behalf, and agreed to pay £20 a month towards repaying the overdraft on the account until I myself was in position to take over the repayments myself. They have continued to charge interest on this overdraft and at an amount much higher than the £20 being paid.

 

Am I able to claim back the interest charges they have levied or ask that they be removed from the account? It is my view that I exceeded the overdraft limits due to the charges applied.

 

Finally can anyone point me to an example spreadsheet with sample figures and dates so I can begin to work out how to enter all my data?

 

Argh! My head hurts ;

yes you can claim maintenance charges ,if you did not have your bank charges would you have been overdrawn ,i am claiming £6663 in bank charges then once refunded i will claim back the account maintenance charges,account maintenance is a charge to monitor /look after your account when over your overdraft,so definately in my case ,illegal charges refunded = no maintenance charges

I've gone over my overdraft limit do to using my switch card for more than the available funds. But in saying that, they should have just declined the transaction then, shouldn't they?

going through some of the paperwork that my dad has kept on file for me and found this:

 

excerpt from letter dated 17/09/02

 

"We refer to your overdraft on the above current account with us and in particular to the overriding stipulation that the balance together with interest and charges is repayable on demand at any time.

 

We hereby give you notice of termination of the Agreement and the requirement that you make payment of the Total Amount Due on the account as set out below. The termination and the requirement for payment will take effect on 29/09/02.

 

...

Total Amount Due £2,073.44"

 

I'm now in possesion of complete records for this account and from October 02 till May 04 they charged me interest on this amount while repayments were ongoing. This totaled £1035.91.

 

Is this legal? And should I request for this to be written off immediately or add it to my charges claim?

 

Adding up all the charges and the amount thats been repaid since this termination of agreement it effectively cancels out the amount due, and this is even before adding the interest of the charges and possible (if a little cheeky) interest on the repayments that were made...

 

 

edit*

----

total charges accrued £690.50 , although some of these were over the 5 yr mark :S
