    • 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.

Hiya,

 

My fiance and I have already exchanged contracts and given up our rented flat and are due to complete on buying our first house on Monday.

 

Our IFA's called us yesterday to say that our mortgage offer has now been withdrawn due to an "arrear" on a credit card from October 2008.

 

This was not a problem when we were first approved for the mortgage but now is enough of a problem for them to take our mortgage away.

 

We are going to be homeless as we gave up our lease on the basis of the mortgage they approved and is valid until 31 January. We have an 11 month old baby and this is really taking its toll - we dont know where to turn.

 

Can anybody give us any advice on what we can do or if we have a leg to stand on with this?

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi All!

 

V.Stressed,in reply to your post:

 

I am very sorry to read about your problem.

 

Please answer the following questions:

 

1.When did you apply for the mortgage?

 

2.Have you paid for a valuation fee on the property that you are buying?

 

 

3.Has your solicitor passed on any deposit funds to the seller's solicitor? If yes,how much?

 

The answers to the above questions should hopefully enable me to assist you further.

 

Cheers,

Have you checked with your solicitor had they already requested the funds from the Mortgage Provider or carried out any works ready for the completion date with their approval? If they had written and recieved a reply that monies will be recieved ok via solicitors and then your solicitor exchanged on this basis you might have a case to argue your point.

 

Similiar thing happened to me and I have checked with a solicitor and they seem to think I have a case for compensation. Shame it was too late when I found out though, although it was a BTL not a home for me to live in fortunately.

 

Check with your solicitors as to what they have done already before you do any further.

 

I hope something works out for you. Let us know how you get on.

Im in the same situation, Ive exchanged & I now have no mortgage. A new credit check was bizarrely done on me on 27.1.10, 6 days after I had exchanged and was the 3rd one they had done. Unfortunately my credit score was slightly lower than before so they just withdrew their offer.

The application initially was applied for in Aug 09 and the offer came through on 25.8.09 and lasted 6 months. I paid for a valuation which was done and was all fine, but on exchange my solictor sent £20500 which was 10% and will now lose that. Im distraught I complete on 12th Feb so I only have 10 working days left. I have never missed a payment on anything & have an exemplery credit record.Can anyone offer any help or advice?

It will be the credit searches themselves lowering your score, there is plenty of evidence that having a search done lowers your score considerably and the more the same company searches the more the score lowers. Id contact all the authorities and trading standards and complain about the companies involved...

Im sorry to hear about this Angrybanks, but first thing I would do is to contact your solicitor and ask him did he request the funds upon exchange and did he recieve acknowledgement from the lender that monies will be sent. If he did then tell them to phone and write to the lender and explain that you will be taking proceedings agsint them for failing to keep with the mortgage offer after confirmations etc.

 

Get some legal advice quick on this before the deposit goes.

 

Please keep us updated.

I think that your solicitor needs to contact the lender and explain the situation and ask them to honour the original offer. They need to be firm and speak to a senior manager and explain that you will be seeking compensation for the money paid out so far plus stress etc.

 

I doubt if they have requested funds at this stage but I could be wrong. I suspect that the lender has decided that they do not want to lend due to a change of circumstances at their end. They may have been taken over or have a funding problem.

 

Your solicitor needs to push this firmly and try and get them to reverse the decision.

Thanks for your responses but no unfortunately altho the funds were requested they just sent back the letter saying they were withdrawing the offer. Me, my solicitor and financial advisor have been onto them but they wont budge. They say I can appeal but even if thats successful they will need to do another credit check which pushes my score down again!

I have tried emailing the Chief exec & my MP so will wait for them to respond.

I may try & see if the media are interested as I want to warn people for the future to get a clause put in the contract that if the bank pulls out after exchange, the buyer cant lose their deposit.:-x

Hi All!

 

TWO POINTS

 

POINT 1

 

REGARDING THE DEPOSIT THAT HAS BEEN PASSED ONTO THE SELLER'S SOLICITOR

 

1.As others have mentioned the best course of action here would be to complain to your instructing solicitor or sue him/her because no sensible solicitor would exchange contracts with the buyer's deposit funds and without having received the mortgage funds.

 

2.The solicitor should have kept the deposit funds in his/her account and notified the seller's solicitor of such rather than send the deposit funds only - An utterly daft thing to do!

A solicitor like that is not acting in his/her client's own interests and should have never been allowed to become a solicitor in the first place!

 

 

POINT 2

 

WITHDRAWAL OF MORTGAGE OFFER

 

1.Please always remember that credit is not a right but it is earned.

 

2.So if a mortgage offer has been withdrawn there is little one can do unless there is strict evidence in your hand that will prove inaccuracies on your credit files which had caused the withdrawal of the mortgage offer.

 

3.However,you should be able to get a refund on valuation fees and/or legal fees if either a valuer and/or solicitor had been instructed and based on the fact of the then existing mortgage offer.

 

4.Complain to the FOS because if mortgage companies decline folks at the 11th hour and still rake in fees i.e. valuation fees.

 

Anyway,just my 2p's worth!

 

I hope this helps.

 

If anyone has any questions,please feel free to ask.

 

Cheers,

 

Nightmare4banks

You have to investigate what has your solicitor actually recieved from the lender in terms of acknowledgement that they are sending funds out for completion etc? Normally they would exchange on the basis that the funds will definetley be there on completion.

I would have expected the solicitor to have called up the mortgage funds into their client account BEFORE exchanging contracts:confused:. In recent years lenders seem to have acquired an annoying habit of withdrawing offers before the buyer moves in. A practice for which they should be financially punished:mad:

 

They can do as many searches as they wish on a single transaction but knowing the effect they can have on someones CR only the 1st search needs to be recorded any additional ones from the same source do not, they can be done without leaving a trace ........ and they know it:-x

I have a similar nightmare just unfolding and would appreciate any help/advice from the forum as it seems we are about to lose everything.

I am a discharged bankrupt since Jan 2008. We approached a broker and made this fact abundantly clear and supplied a copy of the discharge along with the other usual paperwork/proofs required at this stage. Halifax offered a mortgage so we found a house. Our first mortgage offer expired after we exchanged but before completion. All deposits had already been paid. On the day of completion we were advised that Halifax requested the funds back from our solicitor because of the bankruptcy.

 

It was explained that it wasn't the bankruptcy but the expiration of the offer. A new offer at a slightly increased rate was then received. We all began the arrangements again. I then received a further call saying that we did not have an offer as it was a 'mistake'. I have this offer in writing along with a letter explaining when my first payment would be taken.

 

I called Halifax myself and they explained they had no record, written or verbal of my discharge, maintaining they did not know of the bankruptcy in the first place. They also said I did not come up on their searches as they had an incorrect address for me. I asked if that was the case, how had I received the offer at my address.

 

I have now been advised 7 days after the completion date that Halifax are now declining to offer a mortgage. My broker advises that this is due to missed credit card payments or 'something'.

 

I have not held a credit card since my bankruptcy and the only entries on my file relate to that. There has been no change to my credit file whatsoever since first applying for this mortgage - I have the copy from then and have compared it today's.

 

My credit score is high and I have disclosed from the outset my entire history.

 

How can this happen? Why is it allowed to happen? Please help.

Your solicitor & financial advisor MUST between them sort this out asap They will be the quickest means of resolving it also they'll carry more clout than you

My FA has been replaced and is now an estate agent in the same company; the company FD was the bearer of the bad news that no offer is to be forthcoming - he has indicated that in his opinion the fault lay with the solicitor. A conveyancing agent was handling my case until just before exchange. She went on holiday and another person in the organisation requested the funds from me. Since the failure on completion I have been passed to an actual solicitor who is apparently conversing with his senior partner over this weekend. (I don't see how that will help immediately as the funds have been returned to Halifax - apparently they couldn't 'review' the case unless funds were returned).

 

What I just don't get in all this is the terms and conditions quoted: they state the offer may be withdrawn if there is either a fraud, a change in my circumstances that would have influenced their decision at the time, or some negative change to the properties value. The ONLY change is that I earn substantially more now than I did when I applied for the mortgage.
