    • I've given it a try, I expect alot of work required so will give my eyes and brain a rest as I'm getting word blind.. and I'll come back later following your initial bashings Thanks IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;   I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. 1. 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. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. 4. The Claimant claims a Notice of Assignment was served on the 22/02/2022. This is denied. 5. The Claimant claims a Default Notice was served on the defendant. This is denied. 6. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 7. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. 8. Point 3 is noted and denied. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 9. Point 5 is noted and disputed. 10. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked *** The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 11. Point 11 is noted and disputed. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. 12. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** (dates are wrong) 13. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 14. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. Conclusion 15. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 16. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 17. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter into settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter into such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment. Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • eh?...no you are simply telling them you have moved...
    • I agree with you. You and the company are separate legal entities so the company property that you damaged is third party property as far as you are concerned..  Get the company to write to you holding you formally responsible for the damage to their fence with the quotations for the repair. Send it by post (proof of posting) to Prima and ask them to confirm they will deal with the the third party directly. Best that someone other than you writes on behalf of the company! I suspect this is simply lack of knowledge by staff on customer service desks who don't understand the concept of companies and their shareholders being separate legal entities. If Prima still make difficulties use their formal complaints system until either they agree to cover the TP claim or issue a deadlock letter. You can then go the FCA.

    • 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.

EDIT: to add, they have 40 days to comply or i'll see them in court.....if it even gets there (hopefully :D)

Well....a friend of the missus has just started at a branch of barclays, at the moment she doesn't know anything as she's just started, but she's going to get a list of questions to ask about that 'she's thought maybe beneficial to her learning curve' :wink:

 

Who is this IC you speak of? sorry i'm not too good with abreviations, if i feel i've been wrong done by them, i would complain.... aslong as it dont cost MORE money than it would to take barclays to court...

You tell the friend to be very careful about asking questions. If the bank get a sniff of why she is asking, she will never get to finish her probation.

Open Account reponse :

Dear Mr Pearson

ABOUT YOUR REQUEST FOR COPY STATEMENTS

 

I am pleased to enclose a copy of the bank statements you requested.

 

You'll notice that a copy is not an exact duplicate of your original statement. This is because copies are produced in a slightly different way. What we enclose here includes all the details set out in the original statement.

 

You may find however, that the copy includes enteries from a number of the past statements. If so, a dotted line shows when a statement has been issued to you, and just above this line you'll find the date it was issued and statement number. The particular statement you requested will appear two of these dotted lines.

 

As previously explained, there is a small charge for supplying copies of statemenrs to help cover our extra admin costs. Your account has now been debited with £5.00

 

If you have any questions, please contact us using the phone number shown on your bank statements ****MISSING****

 

Yours sincerely

 

****NOBODYS NAME OR TITLES VERY POOR****

Now i'm about to go through all the FAQs and previous barclays threads.... BUT..... what i've noticed different from what i requested in DPA letter.

1. No manual intervention notes

2. MANY dates are missing in these statements (3 withdrawls in the WHOLE of november..pff yeah right!)

3. Theres only 3 charges throughout the WHOLE of the account...when i KNOW that there is atleast 4 in 2 months in DECEMBER/JANUARY

 

and finally i just remebered the statements only go to JANUARY... even though i requested them until march.....

 

VERY poor service from barclays... the letter i'm thinking of sending is the LBA? modifying it saying that they havn't given me ALL the informaition i requested, and a minor complaint about not being told they were going to debit the account with £5 (since the last letter i sent of a CHQ, which has now been cancelled)

 

Advice?? :roll:

Send an angry letter back saying that their DPA disclosure is incomplete. detail why.

 

 

Send a separate prelim oletter claiming all the charges which you can identify at this point so that the time is ticking as well. Refer to the incomplete DPA in that letter as well.

Open Account response: i was in all fairness expecting the 50% offer, but we've got JUST over offered to us.... out of £740, he's offered £400 (Matthew Seeley)..... rang him on the off chance that we could talk about margins here without going to court, and he was the most arrogant person i've known. 'no, now is there anything else i can help you with or not as i'm busy' lol

Between my partner and I we have over £2000 from 3 banks so if all goes to plan we might be off on holiday soon :p

Right Hello everybody! been on a few days break...

 

So... i'll start with my OPEN account (£310 IN CHARGES)

Rang 'Lawrence White' to ask why i hadn't recieved all my statements, nor been replied to in the given time allocated, he apologised and said that he'd have a look now whilst i was on the line, came back and said that there was £250 in charges, i argue (already having statements, but thought i'd request full lot just incase) and he said 'oh yes, didn't see the extras' well on thats basis i'm prepared to offer you £200 as a gesture of good will...

i reply asking why he wasn't giving me the full amount and he said "i dont have to, i'm just trying to keep you with barclays, you were charged for BLAH BLAH, you get the idea..."

So i asked if that was his final offer before i went ahead setting up ANOTHER claim, which barclays are going to lose and end up paying alot more out than if they just gave me what was rightfully mine in the first place..... and he said yes...... claim starting ASAP

 

Closed account (£740 charges)

Just waiting for the other account to be sorted and going to combine both in one claim for under £2k....

 

Why do they 'offer a gesture of good will' knowing that they are breaking the law, and that you know they are breaking the law...... it's beyond me

 

 

EDIT: can somebody point me in the direction for the 'be prepared to go to court' and the link to the online claims as with this new site, many forums seem to be empty (tried emptying cache, internet files ETC..)
