    • Paint is a free programme on any Windows PC. But don't worry, the choice here is not either perfection or nothing. As you say, use your scanner, save the file ... and then use the "choose files" option when you post to CAG to add the file. We can do all the redacting and converting to the correct file type at this end.  The important thing is just to get the info to us. Why not do an experiment this afternoon and see if the above works?  
    • I see they're trying to round up asylum seekers and lock them up for about three months so they can be put on planes to Rwanda. I'm a bit surprised that this is legal.  
    • thought for the day "Prime ministers need a big strategy that tells you where you’re going, you need a bunch of tactics that get you there, and you need the ability to take everybody else with you."   Now I know you are all thinking 'why is the  UKs destination Rwanda ???
    • Asset Link filed for a default CCJ against me, in relation to an old Barclaycard debt which I apparently signed an agreement for back in 2000.   I did not own a Barclaycard in 2000 so I know this is not true.  The CCJ notice was sent to an old address so I did not receive it.  Years later when I found out about the CCJ when I applied for credit, I put an application in to have the CCJ set aside.   As part of the set aside case, I was asked by the judge to provide a draft defence, should the CCJ be set aside.   The defence I provided was that I did not admit to the debt as I had not been provided with any evidence of an original loan agreement.   I won the case and the CCJ was set aside.   Link then filed to court again to make me pay the debt.   We both filed directions questionnaires and the judge allocated the claim to the small claims track.   As part of the directions, additional directions given were as follows ' Additional Directions in a claim for an Assigned Debt - Because the claim is in respect of an assigned debt the Court makes the following directions for the management of claim.  The claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless, before that time, the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents'  It then listed various documents such as an original agreement, deed of assignment, notice of default, statement of account setting out how the alleged debt accrued under that agreement etc.     The Claimant failed to provide these documents within the deadline provided and instead I received a copy of a bundle of documents provided by them in preparation for the court date, this was received weeks after the deadline.    I have called the Court to ask if it has been automatically struck out and they advised that it is not automatic and that I should still send my witness statement by the deadline provided, which is Wednesday.  This does not give me much time to prepare my witness statement.   I have never done anything like this before and I am unclear what my witness statement should include.  My thoughts were that I should keep it simple and stick to the facts, like the fact thy have not provided evidence of the original agreement, or the deed of assignment of the debt.   They have provided a copy of a default notice from Baclaycard dated 2015, this states a figure of £550 but the debt they say I owe is £10k.   I am not sure what makes a valid default notice?   I have previously requested proof of the debt from Barclaycard directly and have evidence of emails between us where they have been unable to provide me with the agreement or any documents at all relating to the debt.   Should I include these as an appendix?  Are there any other documents I should include in my bundle?    I have also tried to mediate with the claimants, to save the court costs and time, on a without prejudice basis, but the claimants solicitors refused to mediate.   Should i state this in my witness statement too to show the judge that I have been reasonable and they haven't? Many thanks   Louise

    • 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.

Capital One has applied £1106 in charges to my account for late payment and over limit fees. I applied to them for a refund and they offered £408 in settlement (the difference between the charges and the £12 recommended by the OFT). I wrote to say I would accept the £408 in partial settlement but their response was £408 in full and final settlement, or nothing basically.

 

I submitted a MCOL on 13 March 07 and this is deemed as served on 18 March 07. However, Capital One acknowledged the claim on 16 March 07 which means they (as the Defendant) is allowed a total of 28 days from the date from when they were served with the claim to reply.

 

I need to know if the 28 days starts from the day of the acknowledgement of the claim (i.e. 16th March 2007) or from the day it was deemed as served (18th March 2007) because by acknowledging it two days before it was effectively served confirms their receipt of the claim.

 

I am also starting to wonder if perhaps they are trying to "Hang it out" given that the OFT is supposed to making a new announcement at the end of March/beginning of April and as such, if they use the £12 as part of their defence, will I still be able to claim for the difference plus interest, plus court costs, or will I have to amend my claim. I am getting confused now.

 

Also, if Capital One defend their claim, will they be forced to disclose their actual costs? And if they do defend, what is my next step? Help, help, help!

Ok the timescale is once the claim is issued its 5 days for the claim to be deemed served on the defendant. Then 14 days to acknowledge, if they dont acknowledge then you can file for judgement. If the do acknoeledge then its a further 14 days to enter a defence, again should they fafil to then you can file for judgement. So in total its 33 days from when the claim is issued.

 

Read this regarding the OFT ruling.

Hi and thanks for your reply. So, even though they acknowledged the claim before it was even deemed "Served" I still have to wait the 33 days and to be one hundred percent accurate, if it is deemed served on 18th March, then is it 33 days including the day of service (18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31 March, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19 April) and if a defence isn't entered, I can ask for judgement on 19 April? The way I read it was 28 days from the date the claim was served (in this case, deemed to be 18th March) in which case, if a defence wasn't entered I could ask for judgement 28 days after, namely 14th April? I am confused (but that isn't difficult in my case)!!!

Hello Jennifer - you're in exactly the same boat as me. Capital One acknowledged my claim today, with intent to defend. I believe that they now have 28 days - so for you, that is 14 April. Best of luck x

  • 3 weeks later...

Some 5 years ago my hubby suffered a stroke as a result of which, he was off of work for 8 months. During this time we found it difficult to make payments on our credit cards and as a result Capital One imposed late payment fees/overlimit charges onto the account resultant in which, I have submitted a claim through MCOL for the full amount of the charges they have taken. The charges far outweigh what I still owe to them and when I submitted my claim, I put the total amount owed in charges, plus interest - I didn't deduct what I still owed to them and just assumed they would hopefully not enter a defence and pay me back the difference after they had taken off what was still due to them. I've just seen on the MCOL website that Capital One has entered a defence as they dispute the amount I am claiming. Help, what happens now? I am confused by all of the procedures on the H M Courts website. What doesn't help is that I now live in France although my address for correspondence is in Kent. Does this mean I am going to have to return to the UK to defend my claim. Please, please, please advise. Oh, and I should hasten to add that I haven't been paying my Capital One account as I haven't been able to afford to make any repayments. Am I likely to have to pay more costs to the court now that a Defence has been entered? I am not worried about going to court but I do want to know what exactly I should be doing and in "layman's terms" please!

Does that mean I can relax and give my eyes a rest from reading pages and pages of mind boggling information (my goat will be pleased that at long last he's going to get fed today). Has Capital One also disputed all of your claim? And do you still owe them any money? Presumably, they will deduct anything which is owed prior to sending a cheque (ooh am I sounding more confident now?)

 

Thanks for your reply! Jennifer

Capital One for me has been and still is, a nightmare! Without going into the nitty gritty, Capital One now owe me more in charges than what I owe them and if I am able to get them to refund these, I will be able to clear this debt once and for all. The only problem is they are continuing to fight back.

 

I have followed procedure and recently submitted a MCOL. However, the amount claimed was for the total of charges over the last six years plus interest. Capital One acknowledged the claim but yesterday entered a defence saying they dispute the full amount I am claiming. I appreciate that I still owe them money (and in fact, due to my current financial situation, I haven't been paying them) but I had hoped that if I was successful in getting a judgement against them, the money they had to refund would initially have the amount I owed them deducted, prior to them sending me a cheque for the balance.

 

What now? I am worried that I may have to attend Court, not because of being afraid to stand up and say what thieving !"££££*&^ they are, but because I am now living in France. Would I, for example, be able to claim additional expenses if I was successful for my travel costs to the UK and accommodation. I would also incur expense of having to take my kids with me; putting animals in kennels etc etc.

 

Any advice would be much appreciated especially on what I am expected to do now. I know lots of forms will be being sent to the address I have listed in the UK for correspondence.

 

Thanks for reading!

Firstly have you got access to the documents that are being sent to your UK address?

I would not worry about attending court as this is most unlikely Capital One do say they are going to defend but then they pay up. Expenses or costs can't be claimed in SCT cases, certainly not from the outset in the POC anyway. Any expenses would come under the 'no costs rule', although they can be awarded against a party who has behaved unreasonably. You'd have to request this at the end upon settlement, if you thought there were grounds to.

 

 

 

(Thanks Gary)

The address I am using in the UK is my parents address and they forward on any post which arrives for me, so yes, I do have access. Hopefully, I won't have to attend court as my expenses would far outweigh what I am claiming if I had to do so. Fingers crossed they will pay up. Any idea as to what point they pay - I would like to think I don't have to complete and submit more forms to the court. And, if they do forward a cheque - if - then do I withdraw my claim or what do I do? Thank you

They will pay up before you have to attend court, to cancel the claim you need to write to the court and inform them that you wish to cancel the claim quoting your claim number.

Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. I got all excited when the postman came today. A letter from Capital One but sadly just a repeat of their previous standard, run of the mill letter, saying that they were unable to increase their offer. I think that's 3 now of the same computer generated letter from Mr Udy. Obviously the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing as my MCOL was submitted back in March.

 

Just hope I don't have masses of forms to fill in and they send a refund soon! :-x

 

Good luck to everyone who is taking on Capital One
