    • 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 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.

They will be requesting a statement of reasons for the decision so they can see exactly why the decision was made; If they believe the first tier tribunal has erred on a point of law, they can apply for permission to appeal to the commisioner. They have one month from the date of the decision to request a statement of reasons and a further month to apply for permission to appeal from when the statement of reasons were sent to them.

 

If they do submit a request leave to appeal, to the upper tier will decide whether the DWP appeal can go ahead.

 

Whilst this is being considered, they can suspend any payment due as a result of the first tier tribunal's decision.

 

They can only appeal to the upper tribunal on a point of law, not on findings of fact or the first tier's medical findings.

 

I have moved your post to its own thread to attract more traffic.

You're not "thick". You just don't know what it means, that doesn't mean you're thick. Don't put yourself down.

 

It means there is an error in the way they have applied the law to a case.

 

When a decision to award benefit or decline benefit is made, it is made in accordance with the law that has been set for that particular benefit.

 

So if the DWP feel that the tribunal has wrongly interperated the law or feel the law should be further clarified, they appeal to the upper tribunal.

Hello ee-bee,

Same thing is happening to me with the DLA appeal I won. I,m on a countdown and will contact Tribunal Service a couple of days after the month has expired and if an appeal has not been lodged in time things will get interesting.

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Cheers MelissaTeddyBear

Hello ee-bee,

 

The statement of reasons is dated 2/11/09 so I think that the decision maker has to get the appeal in to the tribunal service by 2/12/09. I contacted Tribunal Service and they said that if an appeal by DWP was received late then it would be very unlikely for a late appeal to be admitted.

They tell me it is quite rare for an appeal to be made to the Upper Tier Tribunal after a Statement of Reasons has been issued but each case is individual therefore there are no guarantees.

 

My claim was made in March this year so I will complain of maladministration. The RNID website says most hearing impaired people get turned down with the initial application for DLA and most are successful on appeal but the DWP no not seem to want to learn. Probably the money saved on refusing applications outweighs the cost of appeals.

my case has been a nightmare from beginning to now,first in feb i lost my pca,was given only 3 points,then when asked to look again at my case they said it had gone for re-work as there was a discrepancy with the points,then after several phone calls by me because of the time it was taking they admitted they had lost my file!!a copy was issued to the dm and then they found my file,i ended up with 2 lots of appeal papers,its been one horrible year and i feel like giving up on the whole thing

Hello ee-bee,

 

Sounds like you have had a lot to contend with. Sometimes you might imagine the DWP searching for reasons to refer your case to an Upper Tier Tribunal and putting a lot of time and effort in to that. In reality the DWP is understaffed and under resourced to properly do the volume of work they have to process and often in arrears with work. Therefore if you have not heard anything by the end of one month from the date of the statement of reasons it is probably sitting in a pile of work to be processed.

Give up after what you have already achieved getting the tribunal to overturn the DM's decision. Not on your nelly.

:-?What kind of action weneed to take?

 

Alf:roll:

 

That's a good question. If some people are trying to take matters further it would be good to know. I'd certainly volunteer to help. There are two things that appall me.

Firstly, the low standard of the Atos medical assessment. They had no equipment to assess pulmonary disease, therefore no means to figure out how it would affect my work capabilities.

And secondly, having read all my tribunal papers from the DWP, it is so biased against people like myself who feel they can do some work but just need that bit of extra support.

I will confess to being very annoyed at not getting that extra £25pw premium. Not a lot to someone on fulltime work, but a life changing sum to me. And, lets be honest - should any member of the Government be reading this - it's not as if you're going to have to pay me a state pension, my lungs are saving you money in the long term! :p

Have a look around by typing ATOS into the search facility to see posts on the subject. You will also find plenty of stories by googling. If you want to discuss this though, please start a new thread in the appropriate subforum rather than cloud over this member's thread, where advice is being sought on the appeals process.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field.
