Re: SeaSaw Diary

Originally, of course, it was an actual offence not to comply with a lawful request from the debtor / hirer ...

The offence could only be tried before a magistrates' court and carried a maximum penalty of £200 per offence.

Re: SeaSaw Diary

The law does not say that the creditor may not seek enforcement of the agreement whilst still in default of the request for a copy thereof.

Isn't it daft?

Originally, of course, it was an actual offence not to comply with a lawful request from the debtor / hirer unless

1. no money was to be paid under the agreement or
2. unless the creditor had already complied with an identical request less than a month previously, or
3. the agreement was "non commercial".

Re: SeaSaw Diary

I would hope so too, but after so many of the aforementioned amendments, maulings and shat uponings (yep I know it's not a word ) one tends to lose heart.
Thank you for the reassurance

Re: SeaSaw Diary

I totally agree Cloggy. I know that there is no requirement for a signed request within the CCA, but has it ever been tested in court whether refusal on the basis of lack of signature is a valid reason for non compliance with a s77-79 request?

I do not know of that being "tested" but, then, I would contend that there is nothing to be tested.

The Consumer Credit Act 1974 (as amended, mauled and shat upon) is quite clear - if the creditor does not comply with a request for a copy of the agreement, then the creditor may not enforce that agreement. Even with HHJ "Wacky" Waksman's patent piffle about a reconstituted twue copy of the agreement, the claimant would need to have sent something alleged to be the agreement before seeking enforcement thereof.

Re: SeaSaw Diary

Good points. Seesaw, you also need to dig out your mail and see if they sent a "Letter Before Action".

Whilst that legal nicety should have been followed, any apparent non-compliance with that step might not be fatal to their claim - they could aver that they had sent a LBA by second class post and assumed that it had been delivered by five working days hence.

However, if they had refused to comply with a CCA request and issued the claim whilst still in default of that request, they should be reported to the Fundamentally Clueless Authority at once.

Re: SeaSaw Diary

Received letter from HFC regarding Beneficial Finance, proof of Identification copy of driving licence or passport and signed request. Don’t think I’ll be sending that. They have sent my cheque back.
This loan is 99% now its , am I correct in saying I should send CCA Request Demand of signature letter and cheque to Beneficial Finance not HFC.

I've found this post from April 2012 which indicates that this claim relates to a Beneficial Bank loan taken out in 2008 then subsequently sold on to HFC.

It looks like SeaSaw sent a s.78 CCA request to HFC and then got into an argument about the lack of signature.

It doesn't say why the status changed from enforceable to unenforceable which we need to know.

Re: SeaSaw Diary

Did HFC ever deign to comply with the CCA request?

If their sole response was to demand a signature "to prove that Seesaw was the debtor", would it then be reasonable to sue without that proof?

Re: SeaSaw Diary

If you send it over to me along with the default notice i will have a quick look and see whether it looks like you have a defence. Email address is as per Undercover Elsa post.

Re: SeaSaw Diary

Hi Seesaw,
Sorry to see you've been unwell
Regarding the Court Claim, could you start a new thread for it in the Everything Legal section (HERE), something like Seesaw v BW Legal. Put all the details about the account to date, and any updates.
Once you've done that you'll need to scan the front page of the claim form and send it (without obliterating any personal details) to our in house solicitor ATW@all-about-debt.co.uk with a link to your thread. CC it to Niddy too.
Once all that's done we can organise moving the thread to an even more private area.

What is the date on the claim form?

Re: SeaSaw Diary

Its been some time since I last posted due to ill health. Im ashamed to say I completly closed down over the last few month. Now I feel ready to fight again I will up date my diary shortly, just to let you know other half recived a ccj claim form yesterday from BW Legal for HFC account. Im not sure if its real or not as there is no court name stampt on the form! only a printed stamp saying the county court with a crown on top. BW has also tried to ring today if they are going for CCJ why call? Thanks for all your help any advice as what to do next will be most wecome.
