    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • 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.

That's far too short, isn't set out like a WS should be and doesn't include several of the legal arguments in your favour.

 

If you scroll up to the posts 8 and 9 posts above this one, there is an example of what a WS should look like and the legal arguments are set out.

We could do with some help from you.

@ShadesVFR "I have just noticed on the original PCN, which was sent late, they do mention that I am the hirer of the vehicle. Does this negate the Notice to Keeper / Notice to Hirer argument ?"

 

The PCN you received should be an updated version of the  one that would have been sent to the registered keeper. When the RK sent your information to Park Watch they  should have sent to you a Notice to Hirer  [even if it wasn't called that ] explained that they received your details from the RK , sent copies of all the paperwork sent by the RK and given you 21 days to pay the charge.

As they did not comply with PoFA with their Notice to Hirer partly because they gave you 28 days notice but also because when they sent you the PCN, they should have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent the RK complete with the relevant dates of the alleged offence and the date they sent the PCN to the RK. You should also have received  copies of the data sent by the RK in order to ascertain that what the RK said agrees with your understanding of the agreement that you have with the RK. This is important as it allows you to ensure that the RK has given  the right information to Park Watch.

 

One can only assume that the PCN sent to the RK was sent within the correct time and the wording complied with PoFA. Had it not been then  you would have had a reason to claim the Park had no claim against you as the original PCN was not compliant. These are all reasons why you should have received all the information necessary to comply with PoFA. As you didn't receive it Park have failed to comply with the Act.

According to PoFA the only way Park can pursue you as the hirer as if they comply with the stipulations within PoFA.  They haven't.

 

It is not a question of negating the NTK/NTH . It is they have failed to comply with PoFA by not sending the other paperwork from the RK and they have given you 28 days  time to pay as opposed to 21 days. So they have no right in Law to pursue you. Once you include that in your WS they really should not continue with your case. The sections of the Act they failed on have already been explained in my post 65 and which you should include in your WS so that the Judge is well clued up should it get to Court.

Well you might as well have not bothered uploading Gladdy's bilge.  It basically says nothing except "He parked in a no waiting area".

 

The contract is rubbish with most of it redacted, and it doesn't give Park Watch the right to sue under their own name.

 

You say the sign is different too - the judge won't like that.

 

Time to produce a detailed WS that deals with all six of the legal points upthread.  Tick, tock.

Reading the fleecers pants Witness Statement (sworn to be the truth!)...

 

20. As a result of the above the Claimant obtained the details of the vehicles registered keeper from
the DVLA, under the terms of the KADOE. The Defendant was named as the Registered Keeper...
The Claimant issued a postal PCN to the Defendant as they were the Registered Keeper of the vehicle Exhibit GS5.

 

The Defendant is not, and never has been, the registered keeper of the vehicle.


21. The PCN gave the Registered Keeper three options:
i. To pay the PCN;
ii. If they were not the driver to provide the Claimant with the driver's full name and a
serviceable address, in order that liability could be transferred
; and
iii. To appeal the PCN initially via the Claimants internal appeals process and then if
dissatisfied by the outcome to appeal the PCN to the IAS.


22. No payment was made and no response was received, the Claimant therefore issued a liability notice Exhibit reference GS6.

 

If 21 and 22 are the truth (as sworn by the witness), the claimant should be pursuing the registered keeper... Not the defendant.

 

Any thoughts guys?

The contract looks awfully short and does not give Park permission to prosecute motorists who breach the terms. . The contract has redacted the signatories and it is apparently signed by managing agents. there should therefore be an authorisation from the land owner that they are allowed to sign on behalf of the landowner.  Not a clue what date the contract was signed.

No photos of your car and where it was parked. No map  of the land that the contract refers to nor any photos of the signage in the car park.

In light of the above outright lies in the witness statement, I think you should also require their witness to appear in person for clarification.

 

How do you know they aren't going to attend?

More on their witness statement...

 

6. The Claimant is and was at all material times a member of an Accredited Trade Association
(ATA) as evidenced by the logo displayed on the signage at the site and the Claimants
correspondence.

 

Forgive me if I'm blind, but I can't see them listed as a member of the BPA "as evidenced by the displayed logo"...

They have served pursuant to CPR 27.9.

 

The other exhibits are already posted up earlier in the thread. Only attached new ones.

 

The Court has been notified of the Claimants non attendance and the court has been asked to deal with the claim in the claimants absence.

Shades are you sure you didn't receive the missing documents I outlined on post 85. i note that the sheets were numbered and there were no more after that?

If not I cannot imagine that Park will be happy bunnies. Ok they have lost the case anyway but it's just the incompetence of the whole WS. I mean Walli and Ambreen are very long winded and do come up with some very fanciful reasons for motorists breaching the T&Cs but Gladstones have really blown it bigly  here as Trump might have said.

Their WS is a total pigs ear.

Gladstones have failed to identify that the defendant's vehicle was on hire despite it being mentioned on the Notice to Driver. As a result they have not included a copy of the original Notice to Keeper that would have been sent to the Registered Keeper.  The Paralegal continues to refer to the Defendant as the Registered keeper when they are not. The hire/lease company is the Registered keeper.

There are many reasons why the Notice to Driver fails to comply with PoFA. including no Period of parking mentioned-not even on the photos; the Defendant is given 28 days to pay the charge when according to PoFA a Notice to Hirer is only entitled to 21 days. No Waiting signs cannot offer a contract as the sign is prohibitive; the required documents from the hire company plus a copy of the original PCN were not sent to the Defendant.  As a result Park Watch have failed to comply with POFA under Schedule 4 S14 [2]  so it would appear that it is the solicitors who have failed to understand the requirements of PoFA.

 

Further, on the contract itself there is no reference to Park Watch being permitted to take legal proceedings against motorists who are in breach of the Terms and Conditions which the Defendant denies being in breach in any case.

The  signatures on the contract  have been redacted so there is no way that the Defendant can verify them and which company signed they represented. It appears that one are managing agents but there is no authorisation from the land owner that the agents can sign on their behalf. The contract fails therefore to be proved to be validly executed.

Telephone eh?

That means "Robin Hood" has absolutely no reason for non-attendance. 

You might still get a chance to show him up in front of the judge yet.

Huh, "the defendant has no idea about POFA" indeed!

 

You can highlight his own lack of knowledge of POFA...

Yes, i saw that and the comment about "My Company would like the Court to note that the Defendant is using a generic defence which can be found on the internet".

 

I thought Shades should include a short paragraph in their WS : "The Defendant would like the Court to note that the Claimant's solicitor is using a generic Witness Statement of which 90% describes the Claimant's business and has no relevance to the dispute in question".
