    • 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,

 

I have 4 payday loans outstanding.

 

PayDay UK

PayDay Express

QuickQuid

UncleBuck

 

 

My question is if I cancel my debit card, will this stop these companies taking payment from me.

 

and if so will I be hit by a charge from my bank for these being declined?

 

 

Is there naything else I can do to stop these payments coming out

 

Thanks

Cancel the Direct debits with your bank - you should not get a charge if you have cancelled them

 

make sure you check your account everyday these sharks will try and set it up again and take the whole sum

Hi,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I have cancelled 2 direct debits that were on my account and put blocks on them, the only thing im worried about the other ones taking a debit card payment from my account.

 

I have cancelled my card today (reported it lost) in a hope that this will stop any payments they try to take going through.

 

will this incur any charges?

 

Thanks again

Thanks for the fast responses!

 

One final question:

 

Am I right in thinking that as I have now cancelled my direct debits and cancelled my debit card that these companies will not be able to take any payment from my account?

 

Thanks

Thanks for your help.

 

I did phone my bank to ask if these payments would still go through and they said, they might be 'forced' through on the old card number!

 

anyone heard of this happening?

Thanks for your replies, realy appreciated.

 

was worried, I would log on to my internet banking tomorrow morning to find they had taken the lot!!!

 

will keep an eye out for them trying to set up new DDs, anything else I should be vigilant of?

 

Or is it now a case of waiting for the phone calls and trying to sort out a payment plan with them?

 

 

Thanks

I have read about the difficulty of cancelling these recurrign debit card payments.

 

Is cancelling your debit card the only sure fire way to do it?

 

Are these companies likely to have already set the payment in motion?, what i mean is do they apply fo rit on the day or would it be worth checkign with my bank to see if there are any pending transactions waiting to come off, that might not be stopped.

 

sorry, might be being over paranoid here

 

 

Thanks

Hiya,

 

In so far as what should happen I would agree with PGH and if cancelled in good time payments should be reclaimable from the bank.

 

However, I am sorry but recent experience suggests what can and does happen is that the payments are "forced" through or the bank allows the company to treat having the card details as a "continuous authority". I have spoken with the card fraud teams of two different companies during the process of trying to sort my own payday loan nightmare and both have been very precise in stating that cancelling the card (or even reporting it stolen) will not in itself prevent the companies from attempting to take monies via the card details and they will not guarantee that payments will not be made. They further attempted to suggest the matter would be a dispute between me and the company involved and they would not view such repeated access as fraud!! :eek:

 

I do not want to be the bearer of bad tidings or scaremonger but this is my experience (and there are others here to). Certainly ensure the bank are completely aware that any further payment claims from these companies do not have your authority, certainly watch the account like a hawk (there has even been a post on here with I think QQ accessing an account overnight!) and certainly give the bank hell if they pay up (I hope I am wrong!) :confused:

 

The only sure fire way of sorting the access issue which is quite drastic (if it is either mutiple lenders or you really cannot sustain anyone draining your account of the full amount) is to switch accounts (the famous "parachute" account). This way you maintain control of your overall monthly budget and can progress to offer a repayment proposal from there. Whilst any proposal you make should be seen to be realistic this reality is based on what you can afford, not what they think you should afford!

 

They will bombard you initially but stick to your guns - I got into deep brown stuff with exposure to these firms (still not out of it yet!) but around 70% have agreed repayment schedules within the last month and the volume and voracity of their communications has slowed right down (I do have a DCA on my case but it is in house for one of the lenders). Insist on everything in writing or email, request account details to repay by standing order (it has been known that payment by card, cheque or direct debit on a new account has resulted in their accessing your new account with the same impunity as they did the first time!!).

 

All can be sorted with the help of the good folk here but it is difficult, particularly initially!

 

Best of luck ;)

Hi everyone,

 

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the information and quick replies yesterday.

 

Logged into my internet banking today and none of the payments from any of the pay day loan companies had come off my account. QuickQuid was showing but it hadnt come off my balance, phoned bank to check and they said, it had been cancelled and that it would drop off my account and def wouldnt be paid to them.

 

none of the debit card payments had come off, so cancelling my card seemed to have worked.

 

Have now instructed bank to transfer full balance over to another account just to make sure they cant get any money out my account by using old card number, or settign up new DDs

 

had a few emails and texts from these comapnies askign me to contact them right away etc.

 

I sent them an attachment of the letter I had already sent them and made it clear that they were to reply to me by email or in writing.

 

so far, no phone calls!!! how long will that last!

 

I did however get a phone call from welcome finance who i had cancelled my DD with and sent letter offering reduced payment. the lady I spoke to seemed willing to help me reduce payments, but said they still need a full payment this month before they can do anything.

 

just looking for a bit of advice as to what to do with this one. should i pay the amount if they can reduce my payment. I would want them to freeze the interest on the account and not add any charges before i would be willing to make the payment.

 

or would it be easier not to pay them and if they then defualt the accoutn and pass it on to DCA start payign them. or will that incur furhter charges on top?

 

anyone here had any similar dealing with Welcome Finance??

 

any help would be realy appreciated

 

 

Thanks

Should I reply to the Uncle Buck email or just leave it for now?

 

RE Welcome Finance, how likely are they to freeze interst and charges on my account if I ask them to, so i can keep paying them instead of it goign to DCA.

 

how much worse is it to go to DCA than to keep paying original company?

 

 

Thanks

Should I reply to the Uncle Buck email or just leave it for now? - either/or personally I would send a txt saying all contact in future to be by letter

 

RE Welcome Finance, how likely are they to freeze interst and charges on my account if I ask them to, so i can keep paying them instead of it goign to DCA. - Depends on how much you owe and how good a customer you have been, - but without something in writing to fall back on you could pay the full amount this month and next month they still default you, but they have had some extra money out of you that you are saying to them you can ill afford

 

how much worse is it to go to DCA than to keep paying original company?

 

depends on which pondlife you get, some are easy to deal with some aint

 

 

Thanks

Thing is if you pay the amount that they want, they may say that you are not having difficulties at all as you were able to pay what they wanted.

 

It is for you to decide what to do.

Hi,

 

spoke to Welcome and they were initialy wantign me to pay full amount i said as you can see from my SOA i cant afford to pay that. they then said they would take the amoutn i had made in my offer. so i said i would need an agreement in writing in place before i pay anything because that would simply be eaten up by the interest.

 

they werent happy and wrangled on about taking me to court. not gettign money for nothing, could possibly lower the interest but not freeze it.etc.

 

they said that they wouldnt pass the debt onto a DCA and that they would be the ones takign me to court!

 

bottom line is i did not pay them anything, they even asked me to state that i was refusing to make any pyment onto my account this month.

 

I said i was only willing to make the payment once payment plan has been agreed.

 

did i do the right thing?

 

Thanks

Ok, what did you offer them?

Did they refuse this amount?

Are they willing to put that they refused the amount you offered in writing?

 

You need to state to them in writing that you ARE NOT REFUSING TO PAY, but that you would want them to agree the amount you have offered is acceptable in writing.

 

How do you pay this to them?

My monthly payment to them was £136

 

I offered them £91 per month (assuming they freeze interest and charges)

 

they said they wouldnt be able to say if they can accept the amoutn until they speak to the bosses and that they would need to some sort of payment now by debit card in order to do that.

 

I had a DD set up with them, but cancelled it

 

I asked them to send me payign in book or account details, but they saud they dont do that

 

 

Thanks

Have you got a Welcom Finance Branch near you?

 

If not I would not pay by card as they then have your details.

Do you have a postal address for them?

 

You could send them a Crossed Postal Order for the amount you are willing to pay and explain to them about the problems with the people on the phone.

Other than that you could say that you have had your card stolen and the only way you can pay them is direct into their account.
