Overdales solicitors  How many defendant's  joint or self ?  Self Date of issue – top right hand corner of the claim form – this in order to establish the time line you need to adhere to.  13 may 2024 What is the claim for – the reason they have issued the claim? the claim is for the sum of £6163.61due by the defendant under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 for hsbc uk bank plc. Account 4546384809766042. The defendant faild to maintain contractual payments required by the agreement and a default notice was served under s 87(1)  of the consumer credit act 1974 which as not been compiled with. The dbt was legally assigned to the Claimant on 23/08/23, notice on which as been given to the defendant.  The claim includes statutory interest under S.69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8% per annum from the date of assignment to the date of issue of these proceedings in the sum of £117.53 the Claimant claims the sum of £6281.14. Have you received prior notice of a claim being issued pursuant to paragraph 3 of the PAPDC (Pre Action Protocol) ?   Not to my knowledge. Have you changed your address since the time at which the debt referred to in the claim was allegedly incurred?  No Do you recall how you entered into the agreement...On line /In branch/By post ?  Online but it was for a smaller amount they kept on increasing this with me asking Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim.  It was assigned to a debt collection agency  Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment? yes  Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?  Yes I also made offers to pay original creditor a smaller amount but was not replied to Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Sums in Arrears”  or " Notice of Arrears "– at least once a year ?  No Why did you cease payments? I was made redundant and got a less paid job I also spent some time on furlough during covid and spent some 3 months on ssp off work. What was the date of your last payment?  May 2021 Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor and make any attempt to enter into a debt management plan? Yes at the time I communicated with all my creditor's that I was running out of funds to pay the original agreements once my redundancy money ran out that was when my accounts defaulted. I then wrote to all my creditor's with pro rata offers of payments but debt collectors took over the accounts.
    • Just an update for all. I received about a letter every other week, increasing in threat levels. Then I hadn't had one for a about two weeks, then Saturday received a carbon copy of the very first letter they sent me in February. Made me laugh, rinse and repeat. 
    • So, your response was not received by the SCP as you did not send it with a valid stamp. Therefore, from my two option in post #14, the first option is the only one available to you, but you do not have the option of asking to be sentenced at the fixed penalty level as the reason the SCP did not receive your response was down to you. Here's a reminder of what to do: Respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box state that you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. This is a tried and tested method to deal with your problem and is almost always successful. Before the pandemic it was necessary to attend court to do this "deal" because it needs the agreement of the police prosecutor.. During the pandemic courts made every effort to have as few  people as possible attend and they began doing this deal under the "Single Justice" procedure without the defendant's attendance. Some courts have carried this procedure on whilst others have reverted to a personal attendance being necessary. If you are required to attend, your case will be taken out of the SJ procedure and you will be given a date for a hearing in the normal Magistrates' Court. If that is the way they do it in the area involved you will have to attend, see the prosecutor and offer your "deal" in person.

    • 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.

as i had previously mentioned, duely posted letter off to blair oliver and scott about the money they used to off set the debt, got a reply back on the 18th, stating that they are with in their rights under the terms and conditions and no refund will be pos. hoping i'll go away more like.

i'm just going to draft another letter up just now asking for them to send me the relevant terms and condition to which they are refering to, and to duely note that under the UTCC 1999 that it is an unfair term and therefore i'm disputing said account under it. more advice would be helpful though

That's a non-answer. I have read the thread again and my understanding is that you know they claim it was allowed under the terms and conditions and you are saying that term/condition is unfair under UTCC. All their letter does is tell you what you already know ie that it was part of the t&C's. You have taken this a step further and they have not responded on the point you raised at all. Is my understanding correct?

Have you never seen a copy of the T&Cs. Why do they keep referring to them if they don't even send you a copy? Fools! I would be inclined to point out that you didn't say it wasn't in the T&Cs although you note that they haven't yet afforded you the courtesy of a copy (although one is required for S77-79 request - if you have made such a request). You can only assume from their reply that they have never actually considered UTCC and as a result you intend to take further action in the court to recover the money. You can allow say a further 14 days or such like.

 

What we really need now is a Particulars of Claim expert to come along and help with drafting the claim before you send your next letter so that you are sure of your ground and you don't just make an idle threat.

 

Is anyone out there that can help here........

no never seen a T&C doc from them, saying they can do this. it's is my understanding though that it's a current account and doesn't come under the CCA 1974, but a simply request for the full T&C's might be in order, fool them into thinking i'm laying down lol

furthermore i might add, Under the UTCC default Charges are an unfair term in contract which means said contract can be void unless it can operate without the unfair term in it, which i do believe the banks would never agree to that so again have to fight in court under the UTCC.

I think I am following you between threads adarling2006. Have we about covered everything for you? I think I may have made a basic error on the other thread as I assumed you have made a s77 request. If I have then sorry, hope I haven't confused you too much!

Dear Sir or Madam:

Thank you for responding to my letter concerning your right to off set any monies from one account to pay for a debt in another but to be perfectly blunt and honest, you haven’t even considered what I was asking for under the UTCC regulations 1999, you state under your terms and conditions that you have the right to do this, but having a right does not mean it’s lawful.

You have failed to provide me with the terms and conditions, you have failed to quote any legal statues that say you can do this, nor any case law which if I’m to assume there isn’t any as if there was you’d have pointed this out to me.

Therefore I submit my request that you refund the money that you unlawfully stole from me, and failure to comply will result in a report to the OFT, Trading standards and even to the police as to possible fraud and deception.

I trust this clarifies the position for you and I look forward to your response in 7 days time.

Failure to do so will result in said action taken against you without further notice and court proceedings to reclaim all monies back

Sincerely,

I have tried to look up offsetting but haven't had much success. This is as you said in your first post, new ground and it may need to be tested in court. At least if the amount is small you will have the protection of the small claims procedure. As long as you are happy with the course of action, your letter is good. Not sure about the mention of fraud as they are claiming they hold a contractual right to do this. Your argument is just that the term is unfair not fraudulent.

I've waited long enough for an answer to my complaint after writing a second letter to them, i gave 14 days notice to reply and nothing, i've put in a complaint to the complaint dept but that'll take decades and the bank are still thinking it won't come to much.

what i need now is a particular of claims expert to help me out now, i'm going to court with the UTCC 1999 asap.

it is my opinion that any of the banks T&C's won't stand up in court and any unfair terms that are int hem have to be found unfair by a judge. this will be a long battle i'm sure as it's only just begining and in the small claims court a judgement there isn't going to change how the banks operate. but i hope it will let others do the same.

this where i should have put in my pennies worth i have argued on here for months that the reality of consent concerning the right to give your data to other excluding the taxman the police and the judge so making the act above come into force as no one could agree to givin personal data unsubstantiated to dca s experium etc so thankfully someone is looking at the right sort of dat in order to get a contract changed

same here i would like to know i have gone through the cases and with this one it seems like the right track i am trying to remove about 18 defaults most of them through blenheim finance and morgan stanley who incedently defaulted me during a ppi insurance payout so i am trying to find the right terms where i can mount a defense by using the reality of consent in conjunction with the mis representation act they are linked to this uutc1999 and i think its now a matter of putting it all together now...even though i cannot begin any prosecutions just yet my illness stops me as stress can cause my heart to fail so when i have my bye passes on my heart and stomach i will come out fightin,that means trouble cause im so bullheaded when i have a point to make..but my bigest bugbear at the mo is REALITY OF CONSENT and the t and c of sharing data i want to see an end to this unfair contract
