    • 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 CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

    • 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 had a ticket on my windscreen of my vehicle on 12/07/08 whilst I was a work for being parked at a dropped footway, Contravention Code 27

 

Where I was parked was an entrance/exit for a private car park but it had metal posts concreted into the entrance so in otherwords it was unused

 

There were double yellow lines on the road but not within the bit where my car was parked, there is also no signs up around the area where I had parked

 

There were yellow dropped curbs that cross the area where my car was parked

 

The ticket states that my Tax disk was obscured when I know that to be false as I have one of them aluminium holder fixed to the lower nearsisde part of my windscreen, (the correct place for tax disks)

 

Have I got any grounds as with regards to no signs being in the area, or my ticket saying my tax was obscured?

 

I was thinking if they have photos of my vehicle as they always take photos then there would be a conflict between my vehicle and the ticket as in the photo my tax would be clearly displayed

 

This is a £120 fine, or £60 payable within 14 days and printed out on by computer from Barking & Dagenham Council

 

Thanks for you help if you are able to offer some advice (except do not park there again)

You can only park across a drop kerb if loading or with the permission of the landowner/occupier of property the crossover leads to. The CEO will record your serial number off the tax disc not the disc itself so it may be a case of the holder was obscuring the serial number (at the top of disc) having said that the tax disc is not really relevant these days as photos are usually taken as additional proof it was your car.

there are other exemptions rather than the ones G&M chose to "only" include.

have a look at

Traffic Management Act 2004 (c. 18) - Statute Law Database

 

Only (true meaning of "only" this time) you know the full circumstances and whether any of these other exemption apply in your case. I suggest you read S86 of the Act linked above in case any of them do

I wouldn't give up just yet. You said the posts were concreted so you have nothing to lose, so why not write a letter making informal representations pointing this out. By making the informal reps the local authority will usually extend the time you have to settle at the reduced figure.I would also suggest you got to pepipoo.com and post in their parking section on this one as well. You don't have to listen to posters like Green and Mean (the champion of the local authorities).

Thanks but ive already paid it now, but I cant see how the posts will be able to negate the fact I was still parked across a dropped footway, I knew I was in the wrong to start with but it was worth a try to look into it.

If the posts had were permanent and meant that the dropped footway could not be used then that would be a point worth taking up, but it is moot as you have decided to pay.

What the crossover owner does with the access is not relevant as far as the contravention is concerned and would not be grounds for appeal unless the drop kerb had been revoked.

In your opinion of course:rolleyes:

 

Wouldn't the cross over owner in this instance be the local authority? And if the crossover is no longer in use why should it be enforced? Surely the local authority should be revoking it as soon as it's status changes, rather than leaving it and allowing their CEOs to rack up additional revenue.

Its not my 'opinion' its the law. I could put posts across my drive and then still drive my motorcycle in and out. You can also get steel posts that can be removed to allow access. It is not for the driver to decide if the drive is used or not as far as the law is concerned. The owner of the 'private' car park would be the only person who could give permission to park. My neighbours garage is covered with ivy and never used as he does not have a car but it would not give me a legal right to park across his drive.

  • 1 year later...

I have been given a fine of £120 for parking outside Youngs Chineese in Barking on a double yellow, fair enough I deserved it, what I am baffled with is that I too like you have been slapped with a fine for having an obscured tax disc. I pay my car tax regularly why on earth would I want to obscure it, like you my car was parked in Barking I think its terrible, I have sent an email challenging their decision to give me a fine for an obscured tax disc which is showing the reg number the date it runs out, I just dont understand I can understand if the tax disc was obscured from inside by myself but it isnt.:-x

I have been told that even the police dont fine you for obscured tax discs I have asked them to produce a photograph so I can see where it was obscured.

You said the fine was for parking on double yellow lines where did you get the fine for obscured tax?

I suspect that what has happened is that where the CEO was expected to key in tax disc details they have keyed in "obscured" or similar and that is what is causing the confusion.

********************************************

Nothing in this post constitutes "advice" which I may not, in any event, be qualified to provide.

The only interpretation permitted on this post (or any others I may have made) is that this is what I would personally consider doing in the circumstances discussed. Each and every reader of this post or any other I may have made must take responsibility for forming their own view and making their own decision.

I receive an unwieldy number of private messages. I am happy to respond to messages posted on open forum but am unable to respond to private messages, seeking advice, when the substance of that message should properly be on the open forum.

Many thanks for your assistance and understanding on this.

Agreed.......hardly confusing though unless he also thinks the PCN is for having a 'Blue Ford' or whatever is stated on the PCN. :)

reply to green and mean, I got the ticket for being parked on a double yellow line and on the same ticket he did me for having an obscured tax disc as well, which is total rubbish, my tax is within date and the description silver grand cherokee is clearly stated on the tax disc which is what my car is.

Can you stick a copy of the penalty charge up here (blank out identifying info) and someone will confirm exactly what the fine is for.

 

Your statement "I have sent an email challenging their decision to give me a fine for an obscured tax disc which is showing the reg number the date it runs out" suggests it was partly obscured, and you know which bits of it were showing. Is this the case? (You can tell us!!)
