    • Received a final demand today Final demand.pdf
    • Here is my final draft: I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in the claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act.   1.        The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date.   2.        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 wrote off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimants 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.   3.        The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’.  The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents.   4.        Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018.   5.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020.   6.        Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicotors is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’   7.        I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’.   8.        The claimant relies upon and exhibits a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement.   It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HH Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’.   The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause.   9.        Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not try to mislead the court.   10.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth. Signed                 ………………………………………………….. Name                  XXXX Date                     30 April 2024

    • Hi folks, I've just found previous documentation. I thought it had gone missing. I'd forgotten that I did appeal it through POPLA but I can't find the thread on here that, I assume, I posted for help. Appeal letter is dated 27/10/2020 with a rejection. I genuinely had forgotten about this so apologies for misleading you. A lot has happened in the years since the ticket was issued. We closed down a couple of businesses and moved to the opposite end of the country to retire. The documents I have are scanned copies. I no longer have the originals. The NTK is also in there. If there's anything you'd like to see, please let me know and I'll post them, although it probably won't be until tomorrow now, but I'll be looking in on this page tonight. Thank you for the responses so far
    • Hello! After emailing them I received this reply:   I have drafted the following, please would you be able to comment as to if you think it is correct/sufficient? "Thank you for your email.   Thanks you for confirming that the vehicle does not have these features as stated in the advertisement.    I am sure you are aware that the Consumer Rights Act 2015 provides the short term right to reject within 30 days. Statutory rights cannot be taken away from a consumer, and any attempt to do so is illegal.   Please can you advise how best to return the vehicle?" Thanks in advance!

    • 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.

My wife has had a Lloyds Platinum card for a good long while and paid PPI of around £25 - £34 per month. She is certain that she did not sign up for this. In the first instance I think I'm going to write and ask for a copy of the original signed contract. Does anyone know if the PPI was likely to have been a term of the contract? And does that matter? Crikey, these banks are raking it in...no wonder we're so flipping skint!

Hi Paul,

PPI cannot be made a condition of obtaining a Loan / Credit.. Simple as that. Firstly you should obtain a copy of the original Agreement from Lloyds to see what is stated.

 

If you already have the agreement, check what it states and give me a shout.

Well, the statements came at last, but not a copy of the original agreement, which I specifically asked for. Funny thing is the payment protection suddenly stops in May 2003. Anyway, it comes to #308. Wife is phoning to request original agreement. They also owe #400 in penalty charges and I'll start a thread for that too.

All the best,

Paul

OK folks, I have in my hands a copy of the original agreement. My wife very clearly ticked the box which says 'If you do not wish to protect your payments, tick no'. So there's no doubt about it. Should I include this with the charges claim or is PPI a separate issue? Also, has anyone done CCI for payment protection? The interest rate at the time for Asset Platinum cards was 13.9%. Thanks in advance for advice on this one.

Hi,

Well I think you have all the Evidence that you need in your possesion, If the NO box has been clearly ticked then there can be no disputing the fact.

 

You could write to them seperate from your bank charges claim and enclose a copy of the agreement as evidence. I cannot see what argument they could come up with to refuse you a full refund of the PPI plus interest at the Contractual rate.

 

Also add in your letter that you will give them 14 Days to comply with your request for full refund, and also include that you are submitting a complaint to the FOS regarding this matter.

 

Good Luck

 

Ian

Thanks for that Ian. It does seem like a very clear case so I will do as you suggest. Should I simply use an interest calculator to work out the amounts? The CAG spreadsheets don't work for me. Maybe because I have a Mac.

Regards,

Paul

Didn't have time to send it yesterday but this is what they will be receiving after the bank holiday. Comments welcome.

 

 

Request for repayment of Payment Protection Charges

 

Account Number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I am writing to ask for repayment of Payment Protection Charges which you have taken from my account between 11th August 2002 and 15th May 2003. These charges were for Payment Protection Insurance which I did not ask for. I enclose a copy of the original credit agreement where you will clearly see that I ticked the box stating that I did not wish to proceed with payment protection. I also include a schedule of charges and you will note that I have added 13.9% interest, which was the APR for Asset Platinum cards at the time I opened my account.

 

I am frankly shocked that you did not make any attempt to refund these charges when, on 15th May 2003, you stopped taking payments and must, therefore, have become aware of the error. Taking money from a person’s account without permission is a very serious matter, as I am sure you are aware and I hope that you will give this matter your most urgent and swift attention.

 

I now require you to repay these charges which, with interest, amount to £493.28. I will give you 14 days, that is until 22nd May, to respond by accepting my request unconditionally and letting me know a date by which I will receive payment. Should you fail to respond within this timescale I shall not hesitate to escalate this matter by making complaints to the Financial Ombudsman, the FSA and the OFT and I will issue a County Court claim without further notice.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

Paul's wife

To cut a long story short they refunded the money (with interest) to my wife's account. What they did not say is that they closed the account down first. The explanation for taking PPI payments is that apparently there was an 'administrative error' - yeah, right! We've now asked for a complete disclosure of information:

 

I bring your attention to my letter dated xx/xx/xxxx requesting a complete list of charges and transactions relating to my account. Unfortunately, you only sent six years worth of copy statements. As the Data Controller, you should be aware that a Subject Access Request requires you to provide complete disclosure of all data that you hold relating to the history of my account. I refer to complete disclosure in its most rigorous sense since it has now been brought to my attention recently that ALL information, no matter how long held on file, must be disclosed fully and in a format that is legible.

 

It seems that a lot of banks and credit card companies, including Lloyds TSB, wrongly interpret the Data Protection Act 1998 as only needing to disclose six years worth of copy statements. This is entirely wrong. I would also like to point out that The Limitations Act 1980 has no relation to this request at all and has no bearing on the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Since there have been security issues in the past with my account I would be grateful if you would now comply with my original request under the Data Protection Act 1998 and provide the following information:

 

* Full copies of all contracts which you believe exist between myself and your organisation, including copies of any documents you hold in support of same.

* Details of the identity of any individuals or organisations who have provided you with my personal information together with copies of any letters of instruction provided by them, or any contracts entered into between yourselves and the third party, and the relevant dates to which those contracts related.

* Copies of all documents which include any of my personal information including copies of any contracts or invoices, emails or computer records containing my personal information, or any records which pertain to this information.

* Full details and copies of any documents upon which you relied when you have provided my personal or financial information to any individual, organisation or third party.

* Full copies or transcripts of any computer logs or database records kept in relation to myself or in relation to my financial or personal information.

* Full copies of any correspondence in postal, email or any other format which you have entered into with any individual, organisation or third party which contains my personal or financial information, or which pertains to myself.

* Details of all systems you currently have in place to ensure my personal or financial information is kept securely, including details of those officers who currently have control of same, and at the time it was held or provided to a third party.

* Where any previous information or records held have been deleted or disposed of, the methods used to do so, including dates, certificates or references confirming details of destruction. Where you are unable to provide such certificates, please provide a declaration, signed by an authorised officer of your company, confirming the dates and methods of destruction of this data.

* Full hard copy print outs of any of my personal or financial information held in a digital, magnetic or any other format which is held in any archives, backups or other storage devices / locations. And Audio files, specifically recordings of conversations had between myself and your staff regarding all matters relating to my banking history.

* Your registration number with the Information Commissioners Office.

* Your Consumer Credit Licence number.

* Your VAT registration number.

 

Where reference to emails is given above, these emails should be taken from your email servers or backups / archives held in a magnetic or digital format. These emails may not be present on a user’s local system, and may require the assistance of your IT department / IT providers, who you should contact immediately for their provision.

 

Please confirm whether you hold a physical file with details of my personal and / or financial information. If so, please provide details and dates of any instance when this file has left your control, to whom it has been communicated, the method of transportation / communication e.g. Royal Mail, courier, by hand, electronically. Please provide a full copy of this file. Where my physical file has left your offices, please provide details of any precautions taken to ensure that my information has not been lost, stolen, misplaced or made available to anybody who does not have authorised access, including those who would use my information for the purposes of identity theft, or registered with any credit agencies. Please also confirm whether any of the documents held within the physical file are computer generated.

 

Under S.40 of The Administration of Justice Act 1970, if you believe you have provided my information to any organisation, agent, or individual who could, or may have used it for unlawful purposes, you should contact me immediately, and provide full details of their identification and address, together with full details of any instructions you have provided to them. If you have forwarded or communicated my personal or financial information to any person, company, or organisation, please provide a copy of the authority, signed and dated by myself upon which you have relied prior to doing so. As requested above, you should provide copies of any such communications.

 

Under the Data Protection Act 1998, as a Data Controller, you are responsible for the complete retraction of all information provided to any third party, should I request you to do so, and have a duty to myself to ensure that any personal or financial information I have provided to you is kept securely, and is only communicated to those to whom I have given my express permission / authority.

 

I would remind you that I have already paid my statutory maximum £10 fee and I am now giving you 14 days to comply with my original request. If you fail to comply in full I shall not hesitate to escalate this matter by making a formal complaint to the Information Commissioner’s Office and I shall seek a County Court Order to enforce compliance. I look forward to your prompt attention regarding this matter.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Paul's wife
