    • 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.
    • 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.

    • AMEX and TSB the 2 Creditors who you need to worry about the least, ever!  Just stop paying them and forget about it, ignore all their threat o gram letters.  Only if, and with these 2 it's a massive if, you end up with a claim form you need to respond, and there will be plenty of help here.
    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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.

Hi all,

 

(please move if not the right section for this)

 

Summary: Current house was purchased in Sept 2020, but the change has not been filed with the Land Registry.

 

As above, we moved into our current house in Sept 2020, and tabled a remortage to secure a better 5-year fixed rate for 18-months after, when we saw how the economy was going. The money for this was secured (booked) 3-4 months ago and will expire early Jan 2023 if we don't progress the option.

 

The paper work has all been filed over the last couple of months to progress this, but we have come up against a snag - the Land Registry does not show we are the current owners, but the propertty IS registered - so the mortgage company have put things on hold. It appears the paperwork was never submitted to the LR by our Solicitors we used to carry out the conveyancing of the sale of the house.

 

We have approached them (the Solicitors) to correct, and they have admitted this is the case (something to do with a person leaving bla bla), but that the documents were '...originally submitted in 2020 but were incorrect, resulting in pushback from the LR that wasn't answered for 2 years...', and that they will resubmit for us. Sounds like Bull to be honest.

Today, having contacted the Land Registry directly they have confirmed that they cannot see a submission from 2020, but can see one from Sept 2022... which is just sitting in the queue. Timeline for processing is around 6 months at the moment. We will see if we can push this independently, but we have no way of knowing if this has been submitted 'correctly'.

 

Clearly, we are worried that:

a) our immediate financial outlay will substantially increase (roughly £800 a month to give you an idea) if this does not go through prudently.

b) we may lose the fixed rate we secured, and be subject to the current market conditions, leading to a long-term increase in financial outlay.

 

We physically have the deeds - I believe the originals - as property established in 1955 upon creation of a new road in Richmond Upon Thames.

 

So, what I would like advice on is:

 

1. what should our next steps be..? 
Clearly, the most hopeful course of action would be for the ex-solicitors to have submitted the change correctly and the application go through cleanly (property is already registered), leading to use being able to complete the remortgage shortly. But if not..? How do we keep the pressure on..?

 

2. do we have any financial recourse due to the Solicitor's apparently ineptitude, for either the potential increase in outlay, or the emotional stress, or the time wasted on our behalf etc ..?

 

3. can me make the Solicitors hurt long term in any way - Ombudsmen etc... so that then get the message to be better in the future...?

I am aware that Solicitors operate in a highly technical regulated environment, so this kind of administrative sloppiness should not go un-noticed. Both of us are successful career professionals in our respective fields of operation, and expect to get what we pay for  - 100%. We have never tolerated professional incompetence.

 

If there is the opportunity, at what point should we do this ^^ - obviously trying not to impact (1)

 

4. Are there any documents that we can present in lieu of the Land Register to the remortgage company that they should 'accept' as satisfactory proof of ownership.
 

Thanks in advance. Sure I've missed some vital piece of info, so just ask if anything needs clarification.
Rich

Well, interesting development - when the Solicitors submitted the case again back in Sept 2022 they entered it for an 'expedite'. This was actually accepted by the LR people so initiates a guaranteed processing time of 10 days, apparently.

 

This was, of course, far exceeded, so a snotty letter has been sent reminding them of what they are committed to and the case has now been processed, done and dusted. We just got the good news :-)
