    • 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.

Posted 1st Letter to Halifax on 7th June

Phone call to the wife offering 'good will gesture' of £200

not accepted

 

what should be my next step - they said to the wife that they would put the offer in writing not willing to accept but are unsure of how much in charges they have charged me over the years.

 

can someone please advise me, as I really want to get the money back for all the sleepless nights and worries that they have given us.

 

Thank you and good luck to all who fight for the right!!

You really need to know what your claim is before proceeding - if you don't have your statements for the last 6 years your starting point should always be a subject access request under the Data Protection Act.

 

Out of interest, what did you claim on your preliminary letter - did you specify an amount ?

I requested a full break down of charges applied to my account in the last 6 years, also infoming them that I wanted the money back etc. I know that they have charged me £2012, and that is the amount I am using as my guide but have not got exact figures, only got statements and letters for 3 years

I would suggest you start from the beginning and get hold of your statements for the past 6 years then you know exactly what the claim amount will be.

I have received an offer of £200 from the Halifax 10% of what I believe they have charged, how do I find out what the bank has charged me over the past 6 years (I don't have all my statements), without the halifax charging me for copies.

 

I am a completly unsure about what I have to do but can only find one solicitor who will do it all for 33% of the settlement.

 

Help please

Sorry but you REALLY need to read the FAQ's and around the forum especially the step by step guide a few days spent reading and learning will save you making costly mistakes.

 

I am lost as to how you can send them a letter asking for all your charges back if you don't even know what the charges are ? As for them offering you a payment you must always mitigate your loss so you must accept any offers made to you but reject all conditions attatched ie: in full and final settlement.You must make sure that it is made clear you will accept this as a part payment but will pursue them for the rest.

Everything should be done in writing and you are strongly urged not to telephone them , unless you record the calls , as you will have no record of the coversation .

 

everyone user who is doing this process are doing it themselves by reading and learning , but if in doubt seek the advice of a qualified insured professional

 

Can you please tell us exactly what you have done so far and what responses you have had and by what media.

I have written to them asking for a full breakdown of all charged levied to my account in the last 6 years, I also asked them to refund them, they rang my wife and agreed that there was alot of charges accured to my account and offered £200, my wife then told them to put everything in writing, got letter saying blah blah £220 return if accept, which I do not, I have letters and statements which total £2150 but I am sure there are more, I was wondering if I had a legal right to see what charges have been made to my account?

 

Sorry to be completly thick, but want to get it right and the help of this group is great for this information.

Yes you do if you go in the libary of this site there is a DPAR letter , send that including £10 .Also write back accepting the £220 as part payment ( please read post 7 for more detailed advice on acceptance ) but you will be pursuing them for the rest.Whilst you are waiting for the reply to your DPAR then spend that time reading around this site and learning .So you can't make any mistakes ;-)

 

keep us posted :grin:

thanks to all those that have helped already, just wanted to check that I am reading things right in the FAQ, I now know how much they have charged me £1426 in the last six years, I understand that I can apply interest using the spreadsheet in the libary section, do i now send the letter saying about the fees and also place a full breakdown in with it giving them X number of days to reply?

 

Just want to ensure that I look like I know what i am doing even though i probably don't!

 

Could I make a suggestion that perhaps some form of flow diagram would be beneifcial so that you could find out what your next step should be and when?? just an idea for an computer buffs out there, sadly my limit is typing.

 

Thanks once again for all the assistance and I wish everyone well with getting back what it right!!

 

Regards

Yes, prelim approach to bank letter in the templates library. Don't include the 8% interest at the moment (you need this when you get to the Moneyclaim stage).

 

Thus, prelim approach is sent, with list of charges, and relevant dates and amounts (the 'schedule')

 

15 days later, send the LBA

 

15 days later, file your claim at Moneyclaim

I just want to make 100% sure I have got everything right before I confirm the stuff on the website and pay the fees etc - Would be great if someone could just give me a little advice on this just to make sue I have got it right this time - KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK AND TOGTHER WE WILL NOT LET THE BANKS WIN!

As you left the claim so long from last year, did you restart the claim by sending the prelim letter, wait 14 days then sending the lba letter before you started to file at court?

 

Can you please give a breakdown of your progress since you restarted the claim.

As I was a lazy git and left the claim for so long I sent them a new letter asking for my money back which I got from the libary, they then said no to that letter refusing to pay a sausage.

 

In the letter I enclosed a full breakdown of the charges, and gave them a time scale to reply and pay 14 days I think.

 

Hope this all now make some sense.
