    • I'm still pondering/ trying to find docs re the above issue. Moving on - same saga; different issue I'm trying to understand what I can do: The lender/ mortgagee-in-possession has a claim v me for alleged debt. But the debt has only been incurred due to them failing to sell property in >5y. I'm fighting them on this.   I've been trying to get an order for sale for 2y.  I got it legally added into my counterclaim - but that will only be dealt with at trial.  This is really frustrating. The otherside's lawyers made an application to adjourn trial for a few more months - allegedly wanting to try sort some kind of settlement with me and to use the stay to sell.  At the hearing I asked Judge to expedite the order for sale. I pointed out they need a court-imposed deadline or this adjournment is just another time wasting tactic (with interest still accruing) as they have no buyer.  But the judge said he could legally only deal with the order at trial. The otherside don't want to be forced to sell the property.. Disclosure has presented so many emails which prove they want to keep it. I raised some points with the judge including misconduct of the receiver. The judge suggested I may have a separate claim against the receiver?   On this point - earlier paid-for lawyers said my counterclaim should be directed at the lender for interference with the receiver and the lender should be held responsible for the receiver's actions/ inactions.   I don't clearly understand that, but their legal advice was something to do with the role a receiver has acting as an agent for a borrower which makes it hard for a borrower to make a claim against a receiver ???.  However the judge's comment has got me thinking.  He made it clear the current claim is lender v me - it's not receiver v me.  Yet it is the receiver who is appointed to sell the property. (The receiver is mentioned/ involved in my counterclaim only from the lender collusion/ interference perspective).  So would I be able to make a separate application for an order for sale against the receiver?  Disclosure shows receiver has constantly rejected offers. He gave a contract to one buyer 4y ago. But colluded with the lender's lawyer to withdraw the contract after 2w to instead give it to the ceo of the lender (his own ltd co) (using same lawyer).  Emails show it was their joint strategy for lender/ ceo to keep the property.  The receiver didn't put the ceo under any pressure to exchange quickly.  After 1 month they all colluded again to follow a very destructive path - to gut the property.  My account was apparently switched into a "different fund" to "enable them to do works" (probably something to do with the ceo as he switched his ltd co accountant to in-house).   Interestingly the receiver told lender not to incur significant works costs and to hold interest.  The costs were huge (added to my account) and interest was not held.   The receiver rejected a good offer put forward by me 1.5y ago.  And he rejected a high offer 1y ago - to the dismay of the agent.  Would reasons like this be good enough to make a separate application to the court against the receiver for an order for sale ??  Or due to the main proceedings and/or the weird relationship a borrower has with a receiver I cannot ?

    • You could send an SAR to DCbl on the pretext that you are going for a breach of your GDPR . They should then send the purported letter of discontinuance which may show why it ended up in Gloucester and see if you can get your  costs back on the day. It obviously won't be much but  at least perhaps a small recompense for your wasted day. Not exactly wasted since you had a great win  albeit much sweeter if you had beat them in Court. But a win is a win so well done. We will miss you as it has been almost two years since you first started out on this mission. { I would n't be surprised if the wrong Court was down to DCBL}. I see you said "till the next time" but I am guessing you will be avoiding private patrolled car parks for a while.🙂
    • It is extremely disappointing that you haven't told us anything about the result of the hearing. You came here at the very last minute and the regulars - all unpaid volunteers - sweated blood trying to get an acceptable Witness Statement prepared in an extremely short time. The least you could have done is tell us how the hearing went, information invaluable for future users. Evidently not.

    • 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.

Please could someone provide some advice about the following please? :)

 

MBNA responded to our CCA request by confirming that the original agreement had been destroyed, but attempting to pass off conjectured t & cs on us claiming these were what we had signed up to (they weren't and we have proof they have acted illegally here) and that they had therefore complied with the Consumer Credit Act. A complaint was sent to TS but no response yet. We sent a letter stating that no further payments would be made until MBNA complied with the CCA. A s.10 DPA notice was included to stop them processing our data.

 

MBNA have, of course, ignored our letter and continued to chase a couple of times a week for payments by letter and phone. The latest letter from them threatens to sell the debt on and register a default against us.:evil:

 

Please could someone advise the best way to deal with this? I was going to remind them that they'd be breaking the DPA if they registered the default and this could result in court action. How about the selling the debt part?:???:

 

Many thanks

Write to them informing them that until they furnish you with the copy agreement they are in default of your request for info under s77-79 of the CCA. If 12 days have passed since they received your request they are in default and whilst this default remains they have NO right to continue chasing you. You should remind them that also under s2.8k of the OFT debt collection guidance they should halt any action until they rectify your reasonable dispute, if they do not do so then you should look to complain furthermore to The OFT and possibly the FOS.

Recorded Delivery

 

Ref:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

 

On the \\\\\of May 2007 I wrote to you requesting a copy of the credit agreement and other information under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77-79).

 

On\\\\\\\ May 2007 a member of your staff signed for delivery of my written request and I have an electronic proof of delivery showing their signature and the date.

 

To date you have failed to comply with these requests in any way, whether by confirmation of receipt of the request or by supplying the requested documents.

 

These documents I requested should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect this account under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

In my letter of the \\\ May 2007 I made a formal request for a copy of the signed, executed credit agreement for the above account under section 77(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore

 

 

 

You are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before your client enters into a default situation.

 

If that request is not satisfied after a further 30 calendar days your client commits a summary criminal offence.

 

These limits have expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 77(4) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

And

 

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

 

As you have Failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, Failed to send a full statement of the account and Failed to provide any of the documentation requested.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

 

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

 

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you not respond within 21 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY

Action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

 

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

 

  • You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.
  • You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.
  • You may not pass the account to a third party.
  • You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.
  • You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

 

 

 

 

 

Kind Regards

Thanks guys! :)

 

The only problem is that I've already sent a letter to MBNA much the same as the one clutchingatstraws kindly posted - typical of MBNA that they've completely ignored it! :(

  • 1 month later...

Finally got a response from MBNA on this one - I'd appreciate your thoughts on it please :) I'm sending the letter off to TS but am also thinking of a complaint to the Financial Ombudsman and the OFT too now, so need to get my facts straight. I am thoroughly hacked off with MBNA now and will do all it takes to nail them.

 

Despite previously admitting that the previous agreement had been destroyed and passing off conjectured T & Cs instead they've said 'a copy of your excecuted credit card agreement was sent in the form of a credit card mailer in 2005. This actually serves as your copy of that credit agreement for the purposes of the Consumer Credit Act'.

 

  • Firstly the 2005 date cannot be correct. This account was started in 2002 and the first time we asked for a copy of the CCA was earlier this year - why would they send a copy to us in 2005 (do you think they might be telling little porkies?! ;) ). Anyway I'm going to ask for a copy of this mysterious 'mailer' - do you think it will have been destroyed too?!!!
  • As far as I am aware credit card mailers do not comply with the very specific requirements of the Consumer Credit Act for a true copy of the executed agreement?

MBNA then say 'if a lender did fail to comply with S.78, that lender may be prevented from taking certain steps to enforce a credit agreement (until such time as S.78 was satisfied) but the credit agreement itself, together with the borrower's obligation to repay, remains valid and intact. For the avoidance of doubt your credit agreement remains valid and your obligation to pay remains intact.'

  • Surely they are on dodgy ground here? Failing to comply with our CCA request has not stopped them sending regular threatening letters, anonymous postcards and ringing almost every evening. The CCA is very specific that a debt cannot be enforced if a CCA request has not been complied with - MBNA obviously beg to differ! Please can a legal eagle clarify this for me?


In the letter we sent requesting they stop harassing us as they were in breach of the CCA we specifically withdrew permission to continue processing data under S.10 and S.12 of the DPA. MBNA have responded to this with 'under the terms of your credit agreement you have consented to the processing of personal data. On this basis the request for details of your account to stop being passed to credit reference agencies will not be fulfilled'.

As a final little surprise they announce they've added that the debt has now been 'legally assigned' to a debt collection agency and that a default has been registered against me. Of course there was no default notice as required under S.87 of the CCA, but then that's no surprise :rolleyes: . They do say that they tried to contact us beforehand to 'let you know' but couldn't get hold of us, so that's all right then....

IMO, the response from MBNA is utter tosh. (This is a technical term to describe bovine excrement from OCs; similar material from DCAs etc is termed 'crap')

MBNA cannot claim that something they allegedly sent you in 2005 meets the statutory duty under the CCA. The whole point of S78 is that it is a duty to provide information.

The Act states that 'The creditor under a regulated agreement for running-account credit, within the prescribed period after receiving a request in writing to that effect from the debtor and payment of a fee of £1, shall give the debtor a copy of the executed agreement......'. [My bold emphasis].

I would reply pointing out the section in the Act and tell them you consider they have not met your request and that they are in default. I would then complain to FOS, Trading Standards, the OFT, FSA and the rest of the alphabet soup of regulators.

Arrow Global/MBNA - Discontinued and paid costs

HFO/Morgan Stanley (Barclays) - Discontinued and paid costs

HSBC - Discontinued and paid costs

Nationwide - Ran for cover of stay pending OFT case 3 yrs ago

RBS/Mint - Nothing for 4 yrs after S78 request

MBNA went away when I sent them a CCA letter back in May and they couldn't produce anything. I suspect they are clutching at straws. They need to be able to produce the agreement in court to prove the debt exists and if they are referring you to a piece of paper they allegedly sent you in 2005 they are hardly going to produce that are they?

Thanks for your advice everyone and good luck to those also deal with these morons. TS have acknowledged receipt of our complaint, but we've not heard anything more yet - I'll bet they are busy with complaints about MBNA... :)

 

My main concern at the moment is the default they registered last month. I really need to get this removed because it's completely screwed up our credit rating - as they didn't bother sending a default notice, and are in clear breach of the CCA I might try a letter before action letter as well as OFT, TS and FOS.

 

MBNA are a complete shower of sh**! :)

Thanks Sosumi,

 

MBNA have progressed it to their final complaints level without me even asking for it to be dealt with as a complaint (!) The letter I got was from one of their Vice Presidents and stated that they would not enter into any further correspondence about the matter. They enclosed an FOS complaints leaflet.

 

The arrogance of these people is amazing... :evil:

Hi MC

 

Nothing surprises me about MBNA anymore :evil:

 

I've been in dispute with them for ages now, and they keep ignoring correspondence I send to them as well.

 

The reason I am still writing to them, despite being ignored, is because if they attempt to take me to court I will be able to show the court that I have made every effort to deal with them professionally under the CCA and THEY have chosen to ignore me/send me rubbish back.

 

Keep your chin up, YOU are in the right here (and they most likely know it!). Keep all your correspondence, report them to all and sundry, and let them go and visit a taxidermist on their own behalf! :p

I will try to keep my chin up too - it's just the default that really winds me up (and the MBNA smugness too....!). Oh well let's see what the FOS, OFT & TS come up with - then it'll have to be the Office of the Data Commissioner too I suppose for their transgressions under the DPA. :roll:

I've mulled this over for the past few days and am wondering whether it may be worth progressing to Court action rather than complaints to the FOS, OFT, etc. Bearing in mind the serious breaches of the CCA and DPA that MBNA have committed, particularly registering a default and assigning the debt to a DCA without a valid agreement, I think it would be well worth the hassle.

 

Has anyone got any thoughts/views on this? :)

Hi MC

 

I did not get very far with the OFT or FOS so I have given up contacting them about anything further now.

 

I could take 2 of my OCs to court as I am in the same position as you; I'm not going to bother personally as I don't want the hassle. If THEY try to take me to court then its a different matter as I have all the evidence I need to show the court they have committed serious breaches.

 

If you do decide to take MBNA to court, you'll have the full support of myself and I am sure many others on here.

 

Anyhow have bumped up your post for others to have a look and comment on.

Hi Spiritgirl,

 

Thanks for your post. I think I will take MBNA to Court - like you I haven't much faith in the various 'enforcement' ('now don't do it again you naughty little creditor' :rolleyes: ) agencies. However it'll have to wait as I've got enough Court stuff on my plate at the moment.

 

In the meantime I'll CCA Arrow Global, who MBNA have 'assigned' the account to, when I hear from them - should get rid. I'll keep everyone updated.

 

Good luck to you and everyone else dealing with the wonderful credit industry.... ;)

Hi sorry to hijack but can anyone help?

I just had fun on the telephone with MBNA.

I followed advice from this site and asked THEM to confirm security questions.

The idiot then proceeded to read out MY details in response.

Is this a breach of the Data protection act?

 

Mods please feel free to move this post.

I don't know about breaching the Data Protection Act but its a great pity you didn't record the phone call just incase this is a breach. Did you get the name of the plonker who you spoke to?

 

I'm sure someone will get back to you about the breach.
