    • 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 guys,

 

I'd really appreciate some help with this.

 

I can't sleep the last few days, due to panicking so much.

 

Last week, I went into The Money Shop, to cash some cheques (from my own cheque book).

 

The chap in The Money Shop, explained about 'cash until payday'..

 

I stupidly wrote out 5 x Cheques, from my A&L chequebook, each for £100 = a total of £500.

 

Looking at the print out, I was given, it shows that Money Shop have charged £15.99 for each cheque they processed.

 

Their printout, also shows the cash paid out, for each cheque = £84.01.

 

So, for the £500 loan, I took out from them, they gave me a total of £420 in cash.

 

This Money Shop loan, has to be paid back in 30 days (from last week) time.

 

They told me, that they will bank each cheque, on a seperate day, from 8th July and 14th July.

 

There is no way I'm going to be able to repay this, and I am so worried.

 

What makes it even more embarassing, and regrettable, is that I'm a recovering alcoholic (fell off the wagon last week, and have since climbed back on), and I spent almost all of the £420 on alcohol, in 4 / 5 days.

 

When I agreed to the loan, in the Money Shop, I was also dishonest with them, and told them I was still working at my old job (I left last November, and have since been on ESA).

 

Can't believe I did this. Looking back to last week, I certainly wasn't thinking straight.

 

What happens next with these people?

 

Obviously, I'm scared witless of The Money Shop finding out, that I lied about my working, when I'm not. This will no doubt, come out if they take me to Court, for a CCJ won't it?

 

Am so worried, that Money Shop / A&L bank will convict me for fraud. This is making me feel ill.

 

Also, there is no way on earth I can repay this £500, in the forseeable future, let alone in 3 weeks.

 

Reading the helpful advice on here, I have called my bank and cancelled my Visa Debit / Cheque Guarantee Card (the same card / cheque book, that Money Shop used to guarantee the 5 cheques) yesterday.

 

I'm torn, because I'm worried this will obviously annoy the Money Shop, and they will of course add charges.

 

However, if I let them cash the cheques, at the A&L (my bank), then the A&L will also charge me, as the funds won't be in there.

 

Even though I've now cancelled the card / cheque book, do you guys know, if the Money Shop are still able to cash the £500 worth of cheques, from last week.

 

I am determined to try and be positive, and sort this out.

 

I even considered going into the Money Shop, telling them the truth, about the fraudulent application / alcoholism, apologising, and asking to come to a repayment arrangement.

 

My Girlfriend has told me that this would be 'too honest', and it could make things worse. I just don't know.

 

Any ideas as to what to do next, regarding this Money Shop loan, would be most appreciated.

 

I'd really like to try and keep my A&L bank account, as it's the first 'proper bank account', I've had in years.

 

Am now worried, that I'm going to lose it, due to all the potential charges (unpaid cheques and unauthorised o/d charges)

 

Could The Money Shop still bank the old cheques in 3 weeks time, even though I've now cancelled the cheque book? I'm worried they will, as they were 'guaranteed' with the card (the CAB said the would be honoured / guaranteed).

 

Any advice from you guys, would be most appreciated.

 

Many Thanks,

 

SM.

If the cheques are guaranteed the bank will probably pay them. I must admit you have a lot going on and far above my limited knowledge. Hit the green triangle and try and get some advice from the site team. Good luck

Yes report is acknowledged.

Theres quite a few issues here-but there are Caggers that will be able to advise on each one of those in their respective experiences.

This demonstrates the hopelesness that these operations cause-and their targetting of those most vulnerable to use these services.

 

That said,you have asked some searching questions and I can understand that you WONT sleep until you have some ideas and concrete answers as where to go from here.

Can I ask that you just be a little patient-I can guarantee that the people on this site will collectively point you in the right direction and help you.

It wont make the debts disappear-but it will give you the info you need to sort things-and hopefully allow you to get that sleep.

 

I will try to contact some of the more experienced people who have had dealings with these to come and advise.

Martin, thank you so much, for your kind and supportive reply.

 

Sorry if my posts are a little erratic, and overly - demanding. My addictive mindset coming through regrettably..

 

I am going to try not to panic, get some kip, and be patient. Then, tomorrow, take stock, and formulate some semblance of a plan :)

 

There are worse things that could happen, and I'm trying to focus on the positive, as I've now been sober 4 days, and this feels great!

 

Thanks for a cracking site, and I hope to give something back as soon as I'm able.

 

Good Night,

 

SM.

Thats better...

 

Yes I can see where you are coming from.

Believe me-we have had some extremely desperate people on here-no one is above anyone-most of us have been in need of help in different extremes.

The fact that you have found CAG and are looking to sort things-shows you are making some right moves-certainly thats something you did need to do.

You wont be judged for that....only positively.

 

Goodnight...and sleep well.:)

Oi!!! Wake up McQueen ;)

 

OK firstly its not as bad as it seems so try not to imagine the worst.

 

When organisations like the money shop lend to clients they know that they are high risk, same as pay day loans so this isnt going to be a shock to them. However you need to try and damage limitate as much as possible.

 

I have dealt with the money shop in the past for my mothers debts and even though they were very arsey in the beginning about sorting a payment plan out they succumed to my charms and arranged one. The kept adding charges etc so i told them to naff off. They past the debt around for a bit and then simply disappeared. She owed them £750.00 and had never even made one payment.

 

The cheques will be represented to your bank and if the money isnt there they will bounce incurring fees. If i was you, and i know how scary this can be, i would call your bank first and ask tell them the situation about these cheques being represented in however many days time and ask them if they will go though or is there anyway of cancelling them. I actually thought that you could cancel cheques? After that, once you know whats going to happen with these cheques you have two choices. Call the money shop head office and tell them that you cant afford to honour these cheques. Dont get into the whys and wherefores just say that because of circumstances out of your control. Ask them if they can freeze interest and charges and then you will honour the debt. I know this is easier for me to say on the basis that you have to do it but i have dealt with companies like these on numerous occasions and i know what im talking about :)

 

So breathe, get a cup of coffee and call your bank.

 

Let us know how you get on and what they all say

Hiya Dawny,

 

Thanks for your help.

 

Sorry for the delay, in getting back to you.

 

I have indeed, already told my bank that the cheque book was 'lost' however :? ..as I didn't want to attract undue attention from the A&L.

 

I also didn't want to 'warn' Money Shop of any impending issues, as I've read horror stories on here, of people who've had the Money Shop suddenly raid their account all at once.

 

Great to hear they eventually left your Mum alone!

 

Many Thanks,

 

SM.

They will always try and put the cheques through as they will charge you i think £25.00 per bounced cheque and so will your bank.

 

I would really advise calling you bank to check out if they can do this and maybe if you can cancel the cheques.

OK. You're talking sense.

 

I'm just worried that A&L will give me an almighty b*llocking, due to my having written £500 worth of cheques, when it's obvious looking at my statements, that my income is zilch at the moment :-/

If they DO levy a £25 charge for a failed cheque-then I woould be demanding proof that it costs them this-its clearly a penalty charge.

Did you put anything in writing to A & L ?

Its essential that you do this-rather than dealing by phone or counter.

Good point Dawn!

 

Martin -

 

Good thinking re charges, thanks.

 

I haven't written to A&L yet, no. Just phoned them, to report my cheque book / card as 'lost'.

 

They are now issuing new ones.
