    • I'm sure I've said before that it's fine and dandy bringing in rules that favour you or your party, but you have to consider how it would play out if your opponents get in and want to use the same rules...
    • Its Gaelic celebration and bonfires today - Beltane Quite fortuitous for tomorrow lets hope
    • look on the bright side - it would allow Biden to do what he likes ...
    • Few tweaks as the run order was completely messed up and the main point of your defence (reconstituted agreement) pushed to the bottom of the statement.   I, XXXXXX, being the Defendant in this case will state as follows; I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim and further to my set aside application dated 1 November 2022. 1.The claimants witness statement confirms that it mostly relies on hearsay evidence as confirmed by the drafts in person in the opening paragraph. It is my understanding they must serve notice to any hearsay evidence pursuant to CPR 33.2(1)(B) (notice of intention to rely on hearsay evidence) and Section 2 (1) (A) of the Civil Evidence Act. 2.  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. 3. 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. 4.  I became aware of original Judgement following a routine credit check on or around 14th September 2020. 5. The alleged letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 was served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018, no effort was made to ascertain my correct address.  I have attached a copy of my tenancy agreement which is marked ‘Appendix 1’ and shows I was residing at a difference address as of 11 December 2018 and was therefore not at the service address at the time the proceedings were served.  I have also attached an email from my solicitors to the Claimants solicitors dated 14 July 2022 which was sent to them requesting that they disclose the trace of evidence they utilised prior to issuing the proceedings against me.  This is marked ‘Appendix 2’. The claimants solicitors did not provide me with these documents. 6. Under The Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claims 2017 a Debt Buyer must undertake all reasonable enquiries to ensure the correct address of a debtor, this can be as simple as a credit file search. The Claimant failed to carry out such basic checks. Subsequently all letters prior to and including ,The Pre action Protocol letter of claim dated 7 January 2020 and the claim form dated 14th February 2020 were all served to a previous address which I moved out of in 2018. 7. Upon the discovery of the Judgement debt, I made immediate contact with the Court and the Claimant Solicitors, putting them on notice that I was making investigations in relation to the Judgement debt as it was not familiar to me.  I asked them to provide me with a copy of the original loan agreement but this was not provided to me.   The correspondence to the Claimant Solicitor's is attached and marked ‘Appendix 3’ 8. On (insert date) I successfully made application to set a side the judgment. The claim proceeded to allocation, 9. The claimant failed to comply with the additional directions ordered by District Judge Davis on the 2 February 2024 'The Claim shall be automatically struck out at 4pm on 3 April 2024 unless the Claimant delivers to the Court and to the Defendant the following documents.' None of these documents were received by the court nor the defendant by that date. (insert date you did receive the documents) I then sent a Data Subject Access Request to Barclays but no agreement was provided. Details the timeline of communication between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 4’and the copies of correspondence between myself and Barclays are attached and marked ‘Appendix 5’. Remove irrelevant 10.The claimant relies upon and has exhibited a reconstituted version of the alleged agreement. It is again denied that I have ever entered into an agreement with Barclaycard on or around 2000.  It is admitted that I did hold other credit agreements with other creditors and as such should this be a debt that was assigned to Barclaycard from another brand therefore the reconstituted agreement disclosed is invalid being pre April 2007 and not legally enforceable pursuant to HHJ Judge Waksman in Carey v HSBC 2009 EWHC3417.  Details of this are attached and marked ‘Appendix 6’. The original credit agreement must be provided along with any reconstituted version on a modified credit agreement and must contain the names and address of debtor and creditor, agreement number and cancelation clause. 11. Therefore the claimant is put to strict proof to disclose a true executed legible agreement on which its claim relies upon and not mislead the court. 12. It is denied I have ever received a default Notice pursuant to sec 87(1) CCA1974.The claimant is put to strict proof to evidence from the original creditors internal document software the trigger of said notice.  13.   As per CPR 1.4(2)(a) the court encourages parties to cooperate with each other in the conduct of proceedings in order to try and save time and costs for the parties and to also save the time and resources of the court however, despite vast attempts at mediation the claimants have been most unreasonable and have remained unwilling to mediate. 14. Until such time the claimant can comply and disclose a true executed copy of the original assigned agreement they refer to within the particulars of this claim they are not entitled while the default continues, to enforce the agreement pursuant to section 78.6 (a) of the Credit Consumer Act 1974. I believe that the facts stated in this Witness Statement are 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 its truth.

    • As one of you mentioned above I've been in a mess for nearly 20 years now and I'm ready to sort my credit report out now - the main reason I got into second round of debt is my kids being unwell and the state considering them not unwell enough for extra help so despite my son being in hospital for 3 months in one year we got extra zero help and I eventually lost my job and got into debt to just so I can be تا my sons hospital bed at his time of need - my life basically fell apart and all these debts got me again

    • 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.

Ok ! Here goes, i signed up with experian for their 1 month free trial. Thought i would get my free trials worth and checked it regularly. Anyway, since signing up i have got an out of the blue letter from Capquest re- a old debt with capital 1. Having checked my credit reference again this am, i am astonished to find a default from capquest for the sum of just over £500. This was'nt there a week ago ! They say on the report that the default occured in 2005 (not sure if this is right). Are these CRA's working hand in hand with the DCA's or what ? Additionally, i have been bombarded with e-mails and letters offering me quick loans. Needless to say i'm absolutley fuming over this :evil: (the fact that the CRA's appear to be responsible ). I shall be putting forward a CCA requst to capquest but i also want to add the fact they need to remove this default. Does anyone know if i can do this ? Does anyone have a suitable template which includes both requests ? Has anyone else had this problem. Sorry for all the questions but just when i seem to be getting in control of my financial worries !

Most of this debt is proberbly down to unlawful charges anyway so i will def be pursuing that one ! Lets hope they've just dropped themselves in it !!

Hi DD,

 

What is the nature of the debt and how old is it?

Hi there. I did'nt know what it was for at first but it says on the letter capquest frmly capital one which is a credit card debt. I had'nt heard from them for absolute ages so dont know if what says on credit reference is true that default occured in 2005 although has only been put on in the last week since signing with experian. I'm not disputing i had a credit card with cap 1 just ded annoyed now and gutted. I'm gunna take them to the cleaners for the charges as i'm sure it will clear the debt. Anway thanks for replying and any further help will be gratefully received. x

Yes, they do work hand-in-hand. One of them owns Westcott DCA for a start. :mad:

Unbeleivable ! and then to have the cheek to pass my details onto loan companies !!!! This one's from capquest though not Westcott but hey ! who knows who they deal with !

All comments very much gratefully received. x

DD,

 

This link is so you can CCA the DCA, use letter N, enclose £1.00 postal order and don't put your signature on the letter. They have 12 working days to respond at which point the debt is in dispute. After another 30 days they are comitting a criminal offence if they continue to pursue the debt whilst it is in dispute assuming they have not replied.

The next link shows how to S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) the original creditor, enclosing a £10.00 postal order, don't use your signature on the letter. They have 40 days within to reply. This will show what was owing when transferred to the DCA to have any unlawful charges removed.

Send them off via recorded delivery, USE POSTAL ORDERS NOT CHEQUES..don't want them having any more financial details on you.

 

Hope this helps.

DD,

 

I would. The CCA goes to Crapquest and the S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to Crapitol One.

 

Crapquest are obliged to send you a statement of account (will show charges added since they took it over), compare it to the statement as part of the SAR from Crapitol One and you will probably find a discrepancy. Could be unlawful charges that you can have removed.

 

Think my 'r' key keeps kicking in whenever I type in a creditor or dca....very strange.

Hi there. Yep i would def think carefully about doing it now. Especially if you may have something which might just pop up. I suppose some would say its just a coincidence, but i dont think so ! I never receive letters or e-mails like that and all of a sudden hundreds of them and thats no joke, as soon as signing up to experian. I intend to ring experian on Tuesday to see what they have to say. If you still want to go ahead i def would'nt go with the free monthly trial, i would contact the other one equifax and do it by snail mail ( the £2 way ) and not online as this gives them access to your e-mail and anyway they dont offer a free trial so less likely to mess with you ( i suppose anyway ). All opinions still gratefully received as knowledge not very good ( learning fast though ! ) xxx

Does anybody think an S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to all 3 Credit Reference Agencies would show more than they put on the normal report?

Also - can you do the same with the Land Registry?

I know you can get (Land Registry) house info. - we've just done it - but what about the details of other people accessing your information?

We will not be intimidated.

Can we actually SAR the CRA'S and what info would this give us ? sorry if sound a bit thick. x

In theory information from a SAR request should show the names of companies who have accessed the register of the individual concerned.

 

By applying for the credit check, the individual is giving permission for their details to be gathered and more importantly (but not made clear by the CRA) used to update the register which is accessed by DCA's.
