    • 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.

Just had clarification from Halifax this morning, their policy has now changed and are rejecting all claims.

 

This is obviously going to cause further strain on the court system which is already struggling to cope.

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later, the others will follow suit if they havent already done so, lm sure they think that if they reject ALL claims then some people will just give up and they'll be saving money, but if we all stick together then your right the courts will be clogged up for a very long time.....

Hi all

 

New to this thread, was wondering if you could tell me if I write to Halifax at Pitreavie in Dunfermline for my SAR, to get historical credit card statements and is it possible for them to close my halifax current account if I'm claiming credit card charges??

 

Please help, would love to hear from you!!

Hi, I posted a question on this on my own thread - I received a complete rejection of my claim letter on Saturday - which was the full 8 weeks of investigation time. When I read the letter carefully, however, I realised they said they had done a full investigation, but they did not say this was a 'full and final offer'. So I rang the number on the letter - a number that actualy rings and gets answered in customer relations - 01977 627450. The person I spoke to was a bit edgy, but she admitted this letter was not their full and final response. She also said the writer of the letter would 'phone me as they could 'probably make a goodwill offer'.

 

Now I'm not particularly interested in their so-called goodwill offer, however, I thought this was interesting - after all, if I wanted to go the FOS route (which I don't) the letter they have sent me is not 'full and final' so I would not be entitled to FOS help.

 

I am interested in getting my Court claim done ASAP - but money and the lack of it is still my problem, becasue although I have posted off my N1, I have had to apply for remission of the £250 fee and a decision on remission, in my experience, can take over a week ( and the last time I was turned down anyway!!!)..

If anybody else has any other info on this new tactic I'd be grateful to hear.

Well I've heard it from 2 different people at Halifax now that this is their policy. Damn annoying that they have been one of the most reasonable and have now decided to be as bloody minded as the others.

Hi, rang BOS again today - they say that as I rang in about their letter offering me nothing I am now in a queue to be reviewed again - I pressed very hard for a time scale but received no indication - I think this may be another stalling tactic, rather than a change of policy - he said they have to reply within 8 weeks - but although their letter says they have investigated my claim, my impression is that i got this letter as they had to reply in 8 weeks, but due to the volume of claims, had not investigated my claim and were still aiming to do so - this is just another fob off letter and not a change in tactics, I presume.

Let me know what you think?

Hi I didn't have to do an SAR as I had all my statements (sad, I know)! I sent them the LBA on time, but I've not been able to issue at court due to the court fee of £250 being more than I can afford. I will have to apply for remission of the fees (as I'm not exempt, and, as I have found this is not as easy as it sounds). I have issued six other Court claims via MCOL for other actions in the past two weeks, so i'm not scared of Court - just the cost!!

my aim is just to ignore this letter hbos still have 3 weeks to enter a defence via the court. i am not calling them because i feel that then its my word against them and if i have it in writing i can take it to court. plus i get really angry when speaking to people and will probably say something nasty!! going to court is scary i really don't want fingers crossed for settlement

Hi, I think that's fine,- good luck with the court case - hope they don't defend!! Wish I was already on the Court track with you on this one - on my other claims I am at about the same stage - I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

ah I see, helpme43, sorry it just seemed as if you had waited the 8 weeks and were thinking maybe waiting another 8 weeks lol.

I understand about the cost, I found it hard to pay for mine too. Just happened to fall near pay day :)

However, the longer it drags on the more I could do with my £120 back!!

sorry podgydad, seem to have hijacked your thread!

danniabond and mackem67 - good luck to both of you - my claim with BOS is for £7,084 - which with contractual and stat interest rises to over 10k! I really will be issuing N1 today or tomorrow - but its this pesky remission that't the problem - if I pay the £250 when I get paid next week, I'll end up not being able to pay bills, incurring more charges etc, but will the Court Manager listen? It's so difficulat - the other six cliams have had to be paid for by credit card - and it really irks to pay interest on these amounts,as I can't afford to pay them off, unless I get some money back of course......!

Hi All,

 

Keep the faith, I just checked my account online and they have put my full claim in there today, just over £1,600. Am I happy!!:D :D

 

My MCOL went in around the 16th April, they acknowledged, no further correspondence only to find the money in my account today!

 

I hope my other claims with Natwest and LTSB go as well!!

 

Good luck:D :D :D
