    • 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. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________

    • No, nothing from Barclays. Turns out i have 2 accounts on here, and i posted originally on the other one. Sorry about that.

    • 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.

3) How many different names have Cabot got?

 

Just my inquisitive nature;)

 

 

1) Mr M = Ken Maynard he is one of the Directors

2) Mr C = Glen Crawford is also one of the Directors - but he is the smart one with the motormouth calls us nice people "Rogues" (pot, kettle & black spring to mind) - he is also the Cabot solicitor = the man trying his best to wriggle this stuff = our clever friend.

3) Suppose that depends on who you ask in there and what day of week it is, Kings Hill Nos 1, 2, 3, 4, then Cabot UK, Europe, then of course if you want a Loan you can try Morley I'm sure they'd know a way :lol::lol:

 

There is loads of information amongst the various threads about this group of companies as to who they are and what they do.

Well, they have right royally p1ssed me off no end.

 

As you know, the CFC had a website at cabotfinancial.eu. This domain name was available for one of several reasons. I would tend to pick it out of the following; lazy, incompetent, tight, or stupid. Maybe even more than one of those reasons.

 

Anyway, we effectively now do not own this domain name, because Cabot tgink that THEY own the intellectual property rights to the name cabotfinancial, and my registration of the name would in itself damage their "goodwill". As if Cabot and Goodwill were synonymous. Yeah, right!

 

However, I have a feeling that this may be disputed somewhat by the owner of cabotfinancial.net, who also happen to be a company active in the financial services industry.

 

But what it boils down to is, they can afford to slap an injunction on me to stop using the name, and drag me through the high court to get control of the name. I can't even begin to defend myself against that. So I basically don't have sufficient funds to defend myself, and yet again it's a case of justice belongs to those with money, in my opinion.

 

Quick question.... Hands up all those who think Cabot took this step because they genuinely believe that folks would be confused, and think that I was the real Cabot Financial, and would have lured customers away from them?

 

And who thinks the real reason was because Cabot wanted to stop me publishing their activities on t'internet?

 

I rest my case.

Ah, my cover is blown. I've been stealing the kids milk money from the creatures of the deep. And they all have internet access. So there you go.

We may disagree on one subject, but I have to say I did like your website.

I agree that it is down to who can afford to follow the legal process, grossly unfair. Did you try to get the press involved? Did they send you proof of “ownership” or is that just to follow with your CCA?

Without having “cabotfinancial” as a registered trademark they would have to rely on the common law of “passing off”. They would have to satisfy 3 conditions

1) the mark is theirs (bit difficult with the.net website not being theirs)

2) they have built up a reputation in the mark (well is does not say type of reputation so that one may be easy for them to avoid counter-arguments)

3) they have been harmed in some way by your use of the mark (how can they possibly show that you have influenced other consumers when there are so many websites around explaining consumers rights?)

Of course there is added complications for them

1) yours is a .eu not .uk address

2) their letters will contain only their website address, if they choose to phone people before writing then whose fault is if consumers can find so many different websites?

3) The Competition Act is for the consumers benefit so your website is clearly far more in consumers interests.

4) Web searches for “Cabotfinancial” or even “Cabot financial” will display any page containing those words irrespective of the domain name itself.

5) A trademark registered in UK does not apply to Europe automatically.

In a way you won - just think how many domain names they (and their cronies) will have suddenly been buying, how many urgent meetings, those new lawyer costs, race to trademark etc.

Finally if their reputation was so good they would have been able to discredit every point on your site, the fact that they ran to close it down implies that they did not want too many facts readily available.

Aktiv, I'm delighted to see you back in the Cabot fray and have learned a thing or two en-route.

 

Cabot NEVER want too many facts readily available because they have had their little empire, which they built up out of the people they dwell upons ignorance, blown wide apart, investigated and exposed. They think they have won on this .eu bit, but do you think Seahorse would have just given it back without a reason, so simply and so easily? ( Oh he buckled under the pressure of those incy wincy big guns solicitors didn't he ? - HA HA Think again my friends down there in the Towers - We had one or two strings attached to a deal which they ignored and it will be something they live to regret because one of those strings offered them an alternative to improve their image with our help. All deals are now off so exposure is something they better get used to cos they ain't seen nothing yet. There was always a plan 'B' .

 

I'd suggest Ken and his mates had better employ a few more staff to cope with what's coming next :D

 

As a matter of interest Mr Maynard, had you accepted the offer you could have saved many of the companies in your boys club at the CSA from exposure too, no doubt the Cabot Fan Club will be coming into the conversations a little more at your meetings and they of course will be looking for your leadership - or your P45......Such a shame, it could have been so different :-D

Aktiv, I hear what you are saying, and I agree that their claim was without substance. And much as I would have loved to fight it out, the reality is, I am in absolutely no position to take any risks with the high court against a company with almost unlimited funds.

 

So I'll let them have their little tantrum. They had their chance to stop me in my tracks completely, but blew it. And yes, the press is an option, once the matter is finalised.

I see harbor12 lurking at the bottom of the thread.

 

Coincidentally, there's only me and him viewing at the moment.

 

And also coincidentally, there is a guest reading my blog. Who has been referred to the site from this thread. And the IP address of that guest points to mailgate.cabotfinancial.com (IP address 194.73.117.114)

 

Therefore, I can only conclude....

 

...that Colonel Mustard did it, in the library, with the lead pipe.

 

Or something. :D

Aye, well they are a bit premature. I'm busy trying to collate everything into a timeline, so visitors can follow the story as it unfolds. Or rather, as it unfolded from January onwards.

 

You know what I mean. I think I will be at it a while. But I'm on page 5 of my thread already, so I'll get there eventually. ;)
