    • 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.

I have already taken Natwest to court and won, have won the battle against 2 debt companies and am now looking to completely clear my credit report and start from scratch.

 

I cannot currently even apply for a mobile phone contract despite the fact I have been very responsible with my money for the past 3 years now.

 

Has anyone here actually taken Experian or another credit company to court over slander or under the Data Protection Act. And how the hell did this company start in the first place and why do so many people go by their records when so many of them are blatantly incorrect?

 

I am going to start clearing the report as soon as I receive my latest credit report and was wondering if anyone has any generic letters to do this?

 

:rolleyes:

If there is incorrect information on a credit report the agencies are under an obligation to amend it - there's a principle which says all information held must be accurate. The same goes for the reporting company - the information they supply must be accurate.

 

Tell them to correct it as soon as possible otherwise you will start action for libel (its written words not spoken which is slander). Libel actions are expensive so your best bet would be to make a strongly worded complaint to the Information Commissioner.

 

But before you set the ball rolling get copies of your credit reports as they stand so you have details of what they are saying about you now.

Thanks for the help Nailpost. Have typed up all the letters and ready to send. 2 questions though:

 

1. Can I send a cheque as opposed to a postal order?

2. I took Natwest to court earlier this year and won back all charges, shall I put this in the letter to them to take off the default? Any idea on wording other than " you know you're wrong you b******s because you paid up in the end so take off the damn default before I come down there and...."!

Hi Eastwind,

 

I think you'll find it very diffucult to get Natwest to remove the default, pretty confident you'll need to start a claim against them to get it done, a friend of mine was in the same situation albeit with RBS.

 

If there were charges on the account then the default notice can be voided by precedent set in the Woodchester Lease Management Services Ltd v Swain and Co case, basically it stipulates if the 'sum due' that is stated on the default is incorrect which in this case it will be as it incorporates unlawful penalty charges then the default notice is invalid and subsequently voided. I would suggest you put pressure on the CRA's to remove the default on the grounds that they have a responsibility to ensure all info they hold is accurate and to take steps to ensure that is the case.

 

regards,

shane

hi ian,

 

it depends what the nature of the inaccuracy was, if for example the default was incorrectly served, or it was served where no agreement was in place or as I stated above with regard to the 'sum due' being incorrect because of penalty charges then the only correction the CRA's can make is to remove it.

 

Can you explain a little more about your situation

 

kind regards,

shane

RE – Open University Student Business Account – xxxx

Letter sent recorded delivery on 16th November 2007

Data Protection Act 1998 - Subject Access Request

Please supply me with all of the personal data that you hold to which I am entitled under the Data Protection Act 1998.

Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any member of your staff, or any other person, I require disclosure of any indication or manual notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my business with you.

The reason I am requesting this is –

The law is simple. If you did not issue me with a default notice you should not have registered a default against me with the credit reference agencies.

I am meticulous in keeping all the correspondence I receive from anyone other than advertisements and I am certain you did not advise me of the fact that you were going to issue a default against me on this account.

If you do not include among the information a true certified copy of the original default notice I will take this up with the Office of Fair Trading and Trading Standards and will make a complaint to Experian, Equifax and Call Credit asking them to remove the information relating to this account from their records.

I enclose the statutory maximum fee of 10 pounds. You have 40 days in which to comply.

British gas I have only spoken to on the phone but intend writing to them to again do a full SAR. I called them to cancel my account then moved after they sent me a refund becuase I had overpaid then i find out they have defaulted me for money outstanding!!!

It has ruined my credit file.

Thanks for your help

Ian

it may be worth taking a more softly softly approach for starter

 

you may want to include something along the lines of...

 

For clarification purposes please send me the following

 

a copy of any default notice held on your files relating to this account

 

a copy of any credit agreement relating to the account along with terms and conditions referred to within the agreement (they are not obliged to send t&cs but worth a try)

 

copies of the data contained within my statements relating to all transactions

 

and any other data held in your files relating to me

Subbing

 

This is something that has interested me. I've been very tempted to give the CRAs a section 10 notice under the DPA to cease processing any defamatory data unless they have strict proof that this data is warranted (the word of a creditor not being strict proof)

  • 3 weeks later...

Well I sent the letters to the various companies who have put a default on my account. Orange have basically admitted they have no record of what I need and have asked for a copy of my credit report in order to check this out!

 

And Natwest have told me the exact date and location they sent it to and said that it was a computer generated letter and therefore don't have a copy. I was living at that address at the time and I did not receive it. Any ideas what I should do? Is this a fob off?
