    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • They did reply to my defence stating it would fail and enclosed copies of NOA, DN Term letter and account statements. All copies of T&C's that could be reconstructions and the IP address on there resolves to the town where MBNA offices are, not my location

    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.
    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • 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.

Hi Un1Boy,

I've nailed MBNA credit cards next on my long list is Black Horse finance.

 

I've had no reply to prelim and LBA letters........so perhaps filing a Court Claim in Scotland for for £422.00 in charges and interest on a vehicle finance agreement that is now complete will make them sit up and take notice of me. I certainly was not ignored by them when they took every opportunity to send me a letter and charge me.

What particulars of claim did you use? Was it a modified template? I'm new to this so any help would be appreciated.

The charges were late payment charges when Lloyds bounced direct debits, charged me then Black Horse charged me as well.........no wonder Lloyds make so much money, a cosy little cartel they run!

 

Thanks in advance

Hiya,

 

Here's the POC I used:

 

Claimant has account (A/C No) with Defendant from (Date)conducted on their standard terms and conditions. Claimant is claiming the return of money taken by Defendant in charges over 6 years. The Defendant's charges are a disproportionate penalty and therefore unenforceable as they are contrary to common law. They are also invalid under the Unfair Contracts Terms Act 1977 s.4 and under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.Para.8 and sch.2.1.e.

In the event that the charges are not a penalty they are unreasonable within the meaning of the Supply of Goods and Services Act 1982 s.15. Defendant has declined justification of charges despite repeated requests. Claimant claims interest under Sec.69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at a rate of 8% a year from(Date) to (Date) of (£0.00) and also interest at same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of (£0.00).

 

 

They didn't reply to my LBA either, they have just acknowledged my MCOL caim though!!

 

Good luck and keep me posted! :)

Ok, so they have acknowledged and entered a defence. the solicitors have written to me saying that they will offer me £100.00 because they don't understand where I got my figure from.

 

They are having a laugh - there's the usual bull about if i took this to court I would probably lose etc etc but the whole claim is for just over £400.00.

 

Now, the thing is that the statement I received only had one entry for charges, which had been compounded and added on one date. The solicitorss reckon that they happened on different days so the interest I have claimed isn't correct. I don't understand why they would say that - it will cost them more if I calcualted the interest from the dates of the charges -duurrgghh..

 

I'm a bit worried, but I'm going to accept this as part payment until the full amount is credited.

 

Another problem is that they reckon £90.00 of what I am claiming is a service charge for setting up the HP agreement - should I deduct this from the balance or tell them I want it?

 

I can't believe they've offered this - not even the court costs, the cheeky barstewards!

 

I post my reply and their full letter as soon as I can!!

Hi,

when I set up my finance with Black Horse, they took the setup fee with the first payment, at the end as with most hp agreements there was a £50 'option to purchase' fee, the vehicle is still technically being rented to you until this is paid.

I have not tried to reclaim either of these charges only late payment fees and the interest that was charged on them.

Hi there. Im gonna be keeping an eye on your thread as im waiting for my hubby to get back thursday evening, before we start his claim with BH. He got a letter while he was away saying as there were just short of £200 of charges added to his account, they will continue to collect his monthly D/D till they are satisfied. Just a quick question though...did they ever return a breakdown of charges for you or just a total amount? Only asking this as i have the full amount (due to their snotty letter) but to add my 8%, before MCOL, i would like to know dates, etc. Many thanks if you can help.

Thanks for this - £90.00 of my calim is for an doc/opt fee which I thought was a carge, so I will wrtie back to them saying that I am happy to deduct this IF they prove it is a service fee (as it oesn't say it clearly and when I spoke with someone on the phone, they told me it was a charge fee!!) so, we will se waht they say.

 

When i get the letter I have been sent (my dad is sending it up to me) I will post their leter and my intended rely for you guys to check over, if that's ok?

Well they applied all my cahrges in one go by the looks of it. The solicitors letter questions the interest because apparently tey were applie at differeent dates - I can only go by what BH sent me, which I will send back to the solicitors showing that they compounded all of the charges.

I paid my late dd charges at the end of the agreement, these charges and the interest that was applied to them was itemised on my final statement.

 

My agreement is complete and I have a letter stating that they have no further interest in my van so there is no chance of any retaliation for me.

Ok, so as promised, here's the letter SCM wrote to me:

___

STRICTLY WITHOUT PREJUDICE SAVE AS TO COSTS

 

We act on behalf of Black Horse Limitted and have filed a Defence to your legal proceedings.

 

However, our client does not consider it economically viable to become involved in contested proceedings for the sums in question.

 

We have considered the statement of account from our client, which shows that £xx was debited to your account in respect of collection activity charges and £xx in respect of late payment interest.

 

We do not thefefore understand where you obtained the figure of £xx.

Futhermore, you seek to claim statutory interest on the sums you seek from the xxxx February 2004 when in fact the individual amounts became payable at differing dates and the first cannot have been until November 2004 when the first direct debit mandate payment was unpaid.

 

Therefore, it is our client's position that the maximum you would be entitled to recover if you proved the allegations contained within your claim would be £xx subject to you providing evidence of the cost of the postage, your calculaiton of the interest and other matters raised in your claim.

 

Without any admission of liability fir any sums whatsoever and purely in an effort to avoid escalating legal costs which would not be recoverable by either party, we are instructed to offer you the sum of £100 in full and final settlement of all claims in respect of this matter.

 

Upon receipt of your written acceptance we will immediately arrange for a cheque to be sent to you on the understanding that you will discontinue these legal proceedings.

 

We thank you in anticipation of your attention and look forward to hearing from you.

Here's the defence:

 

  • It is admitted and averred that the Agreement in question was a regulated Consumer Credit Agreement conducted on the then standard terms and conditions of the Defendant and that collection administration charges were made in accordance with those terms at various times when payment defaults occur.
  • The Defendant believes that the collection administration charges recovered in relation to the Claimant’s Agreement do not, pro rata, exceed the actual administrative cost to the Defendant for collecting overdue sums from the customer generally. Obviously it would be impractical to calculate the precise annual cost in each and every instance and therefore standard charges have to be used.
  • It is specifically denied that the Defendant is in breach of any statutory provisions listed by the Claimant in his claim or that the charges made were disproportionate or unreasonable or a penalty in common law. The Claimant is out to strict proof of these allegations.
  • It is therefore denied that the Defendant has any liability to the Claimant either as claimed or at all.

As promised, here's my reply:

I am writing in response to my letter dated xxx November 2006 in which you offer a settlement for the above claim.

I respectfully decline your offer of settlement and request, once again, that you return to me all charges imposed on this account, totaling £xxx. I would like to remind you that a daily interest rate of £0.07p is payable from the date of issue until the date of payment and also extra postage costs are £7.75, these are in addition to the balance.

You mention in your letter that you do not understand where I obtained the figure of £xxx based on the statement of account. The statement I received from your client included under total charges £90.00 with the description of “Doc/Opt Fee”; after calling an advisor in the Black Horse credit department, I was advised that this was a charge applied to the account due to missed payments etc. I would consider deducting £90.00 from the total balance I am claiming upon checking through your evidence that this “Doc/Opt” fee has nothing to do with late payment charges and the like.

You also mention in your letter that the dates of Statutory Interest became payable from different dates. The information I have used to compile my Claim have been taken directly from the last Statement Document I received from your Client and are therefore correct to the best of my knowledge. If you are able to provide any other evidence for me to consider, please feel free to do so.

 

In summary, I will accept the sum offered of £100.00 only as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the remainder until the full balance of £xxx plus the daily interest plus the extra costs I have incurred since your recent letter, has been received, without withdrawing the County Court Claim until I have received the above balance in full.

 

I trust this clarifies my position.

Strange that collection activity and returned payment fees all end in .00 pence despite being an accurate reflection of Black Horses actual costs.............or am I just being cynical?

Not at all Rosco, that's a very interesting point.

 

Although one of the points in their defence is that they cannot accurately calculate how much it is for each individual!!!
