    • Paper trail off the original creditor often confirms the default and issue of a notice...not having or being able to disclose the actual copy or being able to produce a copy less so.
    • Including Default Notice Andy? Ok, I think this is the best I can do.. it all makes sense with references to their WS. They have included exhibits that dates don't match the WS about them, small but still.. if you're going to reference letters giving dates, then the exhibits should be correct, no? I know I redacted them too much, but one of the dates differs to the WS by a few months. 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. 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 written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s 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. 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. 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. 4. Point 3 is noted. 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. 5. 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. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. 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 *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 24/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. 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. 11. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter 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. 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 it’s truth.

    • 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.

Hi all. I suppose that you have heard the news about the the test case today. I don't know where that leaves those of us with a court date. The money guy on BBC news seems to think that the banks will apply to the courts for a stay until the big case is settled. Has anyonbe received information to this effect? I don't know whether to be pleased that there will finally be a test case or disappointed because I am so close to a court date - 6th August.

If SC&M apply to the court for a stay, and are successful, is there anything I can say to the court regarding the fact they missed the 14 day deadline for submitting any documents to us & the court and therefore declared their unintention to defend before any mention of a test case. Otherwise it's like they've been given a most unfair second bite at the cherry.

Hi Brucey, Your argument sounds good to me. I have read on another thread that somebody who has a court date for 17th September contacted the court and was told that the case would still be heard as the test case had not yet stopped other cases from being heard. Since our cases are failrly imminent I expect they may well go ahead.

I sent the non-compliance letter to the bank and I am ready to send the letter re: non-compliance to court tomorrow.

I have had no correspondence from SCandM throughout all of this.

Do you think that they will turn up in court on 6th? I feel that the solicitors may be more interested in preparing for the 'big one'.

Highly unlikely that they will turn up - but best to assume that they might. LTSB have appointed Simons & Simons (I think) to represent them in the test case so SC&M will not be dealing with it.

Hi all. Just received a letter from SCandMsaying that their client will be settling my claim within 5 working days by depositing the sum of £4921.18 (inclusive of interest and fees) into my account. The original claim before court charges of £150 was£4633.86.

They don't want this to be treated in any way as an admission of liability - merely an attempt to resolve the matter amicably between the parties concerned.

They want me to write to the court to confirm that the claim has been settleed once the funds have been received and provide them with a copy of the letter for their client's records.:)

Thank you all a million for your support. I could not have done it without you!:D:):D

3 questions: 1/Should I still ask the court for costs as preparation has been costly in terms of time and stress?

2/Should I write asking Lloyds for refund of charges prior to 6years ago?

I do not wish to appear greedy but I would like to clear my overdraft with them completely, close the account and have nothing more to do with them!:(

3/Can I make a contribution to this site by cheque as I no longer have any debit card?

Congratulations!!:D :D

 

This link should help with the costs, the link does work:

You would need to start a new claim to get the pre-six years charges.

 

You can donate by cheque, see if you can PM GaryH or one of the other Mods and they will be able to tell you.

Fantastic news pupil, many congratulations :p ... won't see you Monday then!

 

Still nothing here despite having identical circumstances (except a much lower claim!) ... and then there was Jeffrey62 who got the same letter as me but several days later and he got paid out a few days ago ... beginning to think they've forgotten me :Cry:

Hi Brucey, I was waiting to hear from you but I had assumed that you would have had the same good news. The letter I got was dated 23rd July but I only received it yesterday so the postal situation might be a factor. It might be worth checking your account because the money had already been placed in mine before I received the missive.

I am pretty sure that they will settle before Monday. if they dont you have even more ammunition because you can point to a case scheduled in the same block as yours being settled. Fingers crossed that it doesn't get that far. :)

Brucey,

 

It might be worth giving SC&M a call... I just called them (about 10 mins ago) and said that I wanted to discuss my claim in light of the recent OFT proceedings as I have a hearing date on the 16th of August. They settled in full over the phone!! full charges, plus 8% plus court costs, plus a bit extra which I assume is for more recent charges.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/51041-hard-slog-lloyds-tsb-3.html

 

SC&M said I should get something in the post over the next day or two...

 

So if I were you I'd call them... it's worth a go and might save you having to go to court.

Thanks maxine ... and congratulations to you! ... I just rang them and they said they will settle no cases now due to this OFT thing. I told them that my friend rang at 11am this morning and got a settlement over the phone, describing what you said. She said that would not have been them and stuck to her guns even when I said it was you who gave me the phone number!

 

Court said all scheduled cases will go ahead and when I told this to the lady, plus the fact we're bound to win as we have prepared properly, she said something like, "well, if you win you have to take a judgement out against us to get the money".

We got the same.....taking out a judgement for the money would be no problems I would imagine :)

 

I plan to ask for the case to be struck out if they don't supply the court bundle to me. They have until next Wednesday as our case is on 22nd August.

Hi Brucey, (pupil/fincal), just popped in to your post as I'm a bit further ahead, agree with Barty that your post looked lonely where you asked a question then answered yourself! Seems you've got the hang of things though quite well.

 

I posted my bundle guaranteed on 26th June, and have since had to send non-compliance letters. Christinajanep has now managed to enter for judgement on her case, which was same time as mine, so hopefully she will be lucky, but I am now awaiting further orders from the judge.

 

Don't worry about things, and just do the best you can with your bundles, make sure you have as much info as you can from the site, and ask questions if you have any doubts - someone will always be watching even if you have to post a few times before you get the answer you need, the people here are brilliant.

 

Best wishes and good luck,

Thanks Nicsussex.

Brucey, I am so sorry that you are being given the run around. It might just be worth trying again in case you get a different person with a different view on the other end of the phone. If not - good luck in court!

Sounds like you got a right jobs worth at SC&M... oh well, was worth a try I suppose.

 

I am sure you will get your settlement soon enough... half the time these litigation people don't know what they are on about and talk out of their a*se, so I wouldn't let her put you off.

 

A lot of courts are stating they will not grant any 'stays' from the banks regarding the cases with allocated dates. They probably know they are going to end up with a back log of claims to deal with at the end of the year.

 

Lets hope your hearing goes ahead as planned and then you can claim for costs too... then TSB will wish they had settled before.

 

best of luck...

Hi Brucey!

Just checking that you are OK. Since you haven't posted I guess you haven't heard anything new. I doubt if SC and M will turn up on Monday especially as they have not submitted their papers.

There was a really amusing post on one of the threads where the claimant and the bank's legal rep met at court. The judge was late and they got chatting and it turned out that the legal rep was suing her own bank for unfair charges.

Anyway we are with you in spirit.

Good luck on Monday.:)

Keep checking though Brucey, you just never know. Hope all goes well on Monday - which court is it you are in?

Hi Brucey,

Looks like I will be in court on Monday after all. I rang the court to let them know about the settlement because I was anxious that my letter would not get there in time and I didn't want to upset the judge.

The court manager said that it hadn't arrived and that the case was still scheduled for Monday although they had heard from Lloyds that it was settled. They suggested that I fax the letter but when I said that I had included a request for costs the case manager recommended that I turn up on Monday and talk to a judge one to one.

It occurred to me that if you are also intending to claim for costs you should go ready with your schedule of costs, letter etc. (Barty gave me a good link a bit further back on this thread.)

I think that we have a very good case. Lloyds did not submit their court bundle so they obviously did not intend to defend. The settlement letter I got was dated the 23 July which is the date by which papers had to be settled so they clearly allowed us to go ahead with preparing, copying and posting all the paperwork while waiting until the last minute to settle etc.

I am claiming for 40 hours @ £9.25, plus postage, plus the cost of two reams of paper. A total of £389.98

Good luck:)
