    • Yeah I figured, unlikely I'll need credit anyway mortgage all paid off etc so I'll take that on the chin and learn from the experience. Probably would've beaten that too had I remembered the protocol, first time ever going through the process though sob it wasn't familiar to me  Oh well  
    • This is my slightly amended WS taking on board your previous comments, any suggestions for amendments would be most appreciated.  Thank you for you time.   1.        I am the Defendant in this matter. 2.        The facts in this statement come from my personal knowledge. 3.        I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 4.        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. 5.        The Judgement debt was not familiar to me so I began investigations to ascertain what the debt related to and how such a figure had been equated in any event. 6.        I made immediate contact with the Court, the Claimant Solicitors and the Claimants thereafter, asking them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.  7.        I sent a Data Subject access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided – See appendix 1 which details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclaycard as well as copies of correspondence between us. 8.        I do not admit to entering an agreement with Barclaycard in 2000. 9.       The claimant has failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis and therefore this claim should be automatically struck out.  10.    The claimants have failed to disclose a true executed copy of the original agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim. They are not entitled to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974 12.   The reconstituted standard Barclaycard agreement that the claimant has included in the court bundle does not satisfy any CCA request and so the claimant is and remains in default of my CCA request and therefore unable to enforce the alleged agreement. 13.  The claimants have failed to provide proof the assignment, such as a deed of assignment. 14.  The claimant has failed to provide a statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement 15.   Despite numerous requests to the claimant, I have still not seen any evidence, such as an original agreement or deed of assignment, that substantiates the claimant’s assertion that I owe the debt to the claimant, nor evidence of how the debt was accrued. 16.   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. 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.
    • A set aside application costs £275 which is more than the judgement so not worth it. Not that they would grant a set aside anyway.  Set asides are granted, for example, to people who moved and didn't get the court papers, so have a genuine reason for not defending.  Forgetting doesn't count. Your only choices are to pay up within 30 days, or defy the court and not pay.  If the latter, we've never seen a PPC enforce judgement for a single ticket, ever, you would get away without paying - but you would have a CCJ and a knackered credit file for six years.

    • 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.

After spending weeks reading this wonderful forum and the FAQ's I've started the journey :)

 

SAR was sent to Halifax on 26th January by Recorded Delivery along with £10 cheque. Royal Mail website is still showing the letter as undelivered but my bank have confirmed that the cheque was cashed on 2nd February.

 

I've had no contact whatsoever from Halifax - should I be worried that they've not even acknowledged my SAR? Would it be worth me sending them an e-mail/letter to chase? Do Halifax tend to wait until the 40 days are up before sending statements?

 

Thanks for your help :)

well my staements were with me within 2 weeks apparently there is a long wait now so expect the 40 days, there would be no harm in just contacting them to make sure your request is being dealt with ..

good luck

I phoned 08457 20 30 40 and spoke to a pleasant lady. After being kept on hold for about 20 minutes she eventually confirmed that they had received my SAR and cashed my cheque (yes, I know that!). Apparently statements were issued to me over a week ago but as I've clearly not receied them she had requested a further set be issued and that I should expect them within 7-10 days.

 

I reminded her that the 40 day deadline would be up on 7th March and she laughed and said that she'd make sure I had statements by then.

 

Sounds like they're dragging the statements out as long as possible but hopefully in the next week I should be in a position to get my highlighter pen out LOL!

Hi

 

I also sent SAR on the 1st Feb, they cashed my cheque on the 13th Feb but so far no response.....phoned them on 21st Feb and was told that the request hadn't even been put on my account but I would get my statement within 7 days.....have sent an email today to the Senior Customer Services lady just to inform her of what's going on as they had taken my money again but not even bothered to action my request.

 

Clock is ticking!!!!

Make cheque payable to Halifax PLC.

 

Powell2619, if you sent the SAR on 1st Feb it could be deemed recieved on 2nd, meaning they have until 14th March to get your statements to you. I know it seems cheeky that they cash the cheque in no time at all, but them's the rules.

Thanks, I'll get in touch with them today.

 

MR2Phil - did you receive any sort of acknowledgement from them?

 

:D

 

I had the usual response from Mr Patton saying they'd be with me in 10 days...they weren't. They arrived on 42nd day which was frustrating, but now we're playing to my tune...next Tuesday is LBA time.

 

I was thinking of giving them a tinkle as I've received the standard response to my Prelim, so I know they've received it. You never know...!

Hi MR2Phil

 

It is sooooo frustrating waiting every day for the postie to arrvie, it just annoyed me that they didn;t even have my request for the statements on file even though they had banked the cheque. I think I just read too many threads where other claimants received their statements within 7 - 10 days or had some sort of acknowledgement where I've heard nothing.

 

xxxxxxx

I've had no acknowledgement of SAR whatsoever. The nice lady on the phone today said that depending on who deals with it depends on whether you get an acknowledgement or not - they don't always send them out now....

Its pap anyway, all they say is they've been sent out under separate cover and they'll be with you in 10 working days...it made no bit of difference to mine, still arrived on the 42nd day. Luckily for them I was on holiday at the time, otherwise I'd have been pulling my hair out!

 

Hope they turn up soon.

Hi KellyDJ

 

I emailed customer services today just as a 'chaser' I know they've have 40 to comply it's just un-nerved me slightly that even though they banked my £10 cheque 15 days ago the request for statements was not on my account.....delaying tactics maybe???

 

Also I've read a couple of threads where claimants are saying that time is running out and there is a deadline to get any claims in.....looked on BBC website and other financial news sites but cannot find info on this, does anybody know if this is true???

 

Thanks

I've not heard that, Powell. The only thing is that an announcement is expected from the OFT where they are "expected" to say the same as they said with credit cards: that £12 is a reasonable amount. This could effectively mean that they'll only refund the difference between whatever they charged you and that £12...which will lower claims quite significantly. This is expected some time in March and could be the "deadline" thing you refer to?

 

My cheque was cashed LONG before I got my statements, try and be patient. The fact you've had your cheque cashed means they have your request. They WILL send you your statements. Try giving them a nudge around the 30 day mark.

 

In the meantime, read as MUCH as you can on this site, its fantastic reading! :D

  • 2 weeks later...

Still no statements so I'm going to give them a call this afternoon.

 

SAR sent 26/01/07

Cheque Cashed 02/02/07

 

so, if I start counting 40 days from 2 days after posting letter that gives 9th March so they're definately overdue.
