    • 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.

Hi All,

 

I have all sorts of unsecured debt which i have run from for some time-CCJ's included,i am not on the electoral roll etc.All very irresponsible i know and i'm sorry!! Moving on, i would like to tackle the debt soon and need to see my credit report to know where to start. I am not on the electoral roll and i do not want my creditors to know where i am until i am ready.

 

I am under the impression though, that if i run a personal credit check my new address will be appear on there and the bailiffs may come knocking...bad news.

 

What i need is the ability to check the status of my debts so i can figure a way to get it sorted without alerting the men in black who no doubt would be straight round here trying to take my husbands gadgets away and in the process leaving me a single lady as he would not be happy, in fact i havent been totally honest with him so my problem is obvious.

 

Can anyone advise? Will my checking my credit reference allow my creditors to see my address?

 

Many Many Thanks

If you try to get your credit report, it will be flagged up to any creditor who is looking for you.

Ah, but the thing to remember here is you will be on a council tax register with your local council? If you are registered for any, that is. Also, whatever dealings you have had within the 'system' as it were would flag up your present whereabouts or should in time ... Unless you are not disclosing those to anyone and using a previous address to do so. What I am trying to tell you is that you can be traced using possibly an infinite number of ways asides from checking your credit rating. This is not to frighten you BTW but just to mention that things do catch up eventually.

 

However, having dealt with the seeming ineptness of a DCA a long while ago (before I even knew places like CAG existed and I wasn't in debt at the time, someone else was who hadn't provided a forwarding address) I was astonished with their apparent lack of tracing skills at a very basic level. Because I knew exactly where that person had moved to because I saw them in the newspaper - no I didn't tell the DCA but I did keep telling them or sending the mail back 'not at this address' but sadly they did not get the message as in so many of these casess but I won't lie when I say it was getting blasted annoying being harassed for a debt that wasn't mine!) it would not surprise me if they couldn't figure any of those out.

 

I merely tell you any of the above because tracing isn't a hard thing to do, even people in other countries have been found. So, just to be prepared for that eventually.

I think the OP is right to be concerned. Based on what you've said, to get all of the data from your credit file you will need to give the CRA previous addresses. They will link the addresses together and update their records to show your current address.

 

The best case scenario is that the CRA does nothing more than this. However, a creditor running a trace search (they would have to do under the terms of your contract) would then be able to find your new address. Once your address finds its way out there into DCAland it may get passed around unlawfully but try proving it.

 

The worst case scenario is that there is 'leakage' from the CRA to DCAs. I don't know that this happens but given that Experian proudly owns a company like Wescot, it says a lot about their business ethics. This isn't an allegation but just something that should give the OP pause.

And of course the CRA will want proof of who you are as you aren't on the Electoral register so they will want previous addresses as well as proof of ID

Yep - backing up what others have said.

 

The credit reference companies will want to be 100% sure that any information they are giving out is to the correct person, so they will need concrete proof of who you are, where you live, and previous addresses.

 

You then get your credit report and they are happy that any info you have given them is verified by you, making it oh so easy for debt collection companies to find you !

 

It's common knowledge that DCA's subscribe to these databases, and happily pay for regular updates of the latest (verified) details.

Moving on, i would like to tackle the debt soon and need to see my credit report to know where to start. I am not on the electoral roll and i do not want my creditors to know where i am until i am ready. Then do nothing.... Non-CCJ debts are stat-barred after 6 years from the last written acknowedgement anyway. With patience, you could just ride it out.

 

I am under the impression though, that if i run a personal credit check my new address will be appear on there and the bailiffs may come knocking...bad news. Debt collectors are not bailiffs. As you have unsatisfied CCJs however, it's likely that debt collectors will try and make contact with you at some point over these providing they can link up your previous addresses. If they can't/don't link up your previous addresses, then you might be contacted as part of a phishing exercise.... as they won't know for certain who you are until you confirm it or, they find the link on other paperwork.

 

What i need is the ability to check the status of my debts so i can figure a way to get it sorted without alerting the men in black who no doubt would be straight round here trying to take my husbands gadgets away if the debts are yours, then they can't touch your husband's stuff, no.... and remember, these are debt collectors and not bailiffs. and in the process leaving me a single lady as he would not be happy, in fact i havent been totally honest with him so my problem is obvious.

would you clarify things? Your creditors must have the address you were at when you got the credit.

 

Have you moved since then without informing them? Is that why you feel a credit report will reveal your address?

 

If so, as said above, you will have to supply details of your past addresses to get a report, and as they will send it to you, they will need your current address, and then they join the dots and connect you with everything in the past.

 

The only way I can see you being able to do it is if your bank details are for your old address, then you may be able to get an online report pretending to still live at the old address (they verify the payment card using the address its registered for), and getting the report by email (set one up just for that purpose). An alternative is if the website allows someone elses card to be used - their card is verified against their address, and you give your old address. I dont know if the sites will permit other's cards to be used, and before you put real info into the sites, you need to check the site is suitable before you give info that may compromise you.

 

This company has been mentioned, I have no knowledge of it personaly but its free https://www.annualcreditreport.co.uk/. Some of the others eg Experian have recently set up online reports but you have to pay £2 for each one.

 

You may be able to find out about CCJs you have separately. They are maintained on the "Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines" see http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/cms/judgments.htm

 

the link to search for your record goes to CCJs, court orders & fines - Search yourself and others - Trust Online

 

again, you need to make sure that any info you put in won't be passed on.

 

You may be able to directly contact each court where a CCJs was issued to get info about them. Give them a ring

Hi All,

 

Thanks for the response,

 

To clarify, i have moved several times- due to work mainly but it has enabled the avoidance of detection.

 

I am on the council tax register but nothing else,

 

It's a real shame there is no way to get the status without compromising the wherabouts, they nearly had the money back! It's no fun living this way really.

 

I am on a contract which may run out sooner than later at work otherwise i think i would probably go for an IVA, i'd consider bankruptcy but suspect i would have a restriction order for 15 years due to the irresponsibility.

 

All in all i think i will ride it out for the time being

 

Thanks again

Debt avoidance ?

 

Not a good idea, and not what this website is about. :mad:

 

Nobody is saying 'pay up', there is help to sort it all out, if that's still possible at this late stage. Have a read around, it may be useful - but only if you are prepared to help yourself.

I think you should remember that if you have CCJs. the benefactor can have the CCJ extended. If they can convince a court that you deliberately took action to avoid a correctly obtained CCJ, a judge may be offended enough that you avoided the court's ruling, to allow the CCJ to be 're-started'. In addition, the debts you had may have been subject to more CCJ rulings in your absence, and may not even be close to being statute barred.

 

As you fear a restriction order for your 'irresponsibility', you should also be wary of the court's ire should you deliberately avoid CCJs.

A CCJ is there until it's paid HH.... providing that the details are still held on record somewhere. I know of CCJs that have fallen off the radar, so to speak.... because over time, no-one's able to prove anything!

 

In short, the scenario you describe is very unlikely...

whats 'very unlikely'? - that his creditors successfully got additional CCJs in his absence? Not at all unlikely.

 

and as he also has unpaid CCJs, they don't expire as you confirm yourself.

 

So I don't know what you're disagreeing with. Without wishing to enter into yet another debate where someone must prove they're right. I simply point out to the poster that hiding from the situation may not be as simple as she thinks.

 

Her debts may not be close to being stature barred, some of them may have been the subject of a successful CCJ application, in which case they probably won't have expired yet. Without knowldge of the debts and their ages, its not possible to say for sure, but this scenario is perfectly possible.

 

Old unsatisfied CCJs may be 'revived' by a judge if he is convinced that the poster deliberately avoided paying and the benefactor of the CCJ could not locate her and so had no chance to enforce the CCJ. Without knowing how often she moved, and how soon after getting the CCJ she started moving, again its not possible to be sure. It is true that CCJs may not often be 'revived' but if the judge feels the benefactor didn't get a chance to enforce the CCJ because of deliberate avoidance, and that the benefactor tried everything possible to trace her, it IS possible.

it is very rare for an expired ccj to berevived once 6yrs have elapsed.

 

pers i'd say get that cra done and get yourself on the electoral role.

 

whilst you remain hidden - ok you are avoiding your ebts [which sady is not what cag is about]

however, the damage which will continue to be done by not doing the above will live longe than hiding.

 

you'll prob find most of your debts are easilty dealt with, even theccj's. bu if youkeep hiding esp from the electoral role, you'll never get credit anyhow.

There are lots of "ifs", "buts" and "maybes" in many walks of life... but when life is calm, why poke it around just to see what happens? "If" a creditor is going to catch up with a person, they will. However, not all of them do.... which I know from personal experience.

This is the part that is unlikely... it would involve a lot of homework on the part of the OC/DCA, they would need to be very sure of their facts before pressing forward and the sum they were after would need to make it worth it. I don't have any examples where this has happened but if you have, I'd be interested in reading about them.

 

it is very rare for an expired ccj to berevived once 6yrs have elapsed.

 

 

Agreed...

yes I do know of a case where a CCJ was reactivated by a court after 6 years.

 

the debtor deliberately avoided the creditor by changing address. The creditor showed due diligence by continuing to chase him. Each time they caught up with him, he moved and would disappear for months at a time, sometimes going abroad. After 6 years, he thought he was safe and 'settled down'. The creditor eventually caught up with him and he laughed and took no action as he thought he was outside the 6 years. A court was satisfied that the creditor had applied due diligence and done everything it could to enforce the CCJ and allowed the CCJ to be reactivated. As a CCJ is never statute barred, it is always a possibility that the creditor will never allow it to drop. All that is required is for the creditor to show that he has genuinely attempted to enforce the judgement

throughout the 6 years but has been unsuccessful.

 

I've never said it would happen in this case, or that it was common, what I have said is that it could, or may happen, and a lot depends on the amounts concerned, which the poster has not mentioned. If she were to come back and say the judgements were for say £150,000, would you agree that reapplying the CCJ might be more likely than if the debt was for say £3,000?

 

All I have said is that running away will not solve the problem because the debts that she thought would be statute barred soon, may have recently been subject to a successful CCJ and the 6 years will start again, and also that the unsatisfied CCJs could be renewed. The first part cannot be denied, the second is unlikely unless the debts were worth it and the creditor can show he has been diligent in attempting to enforce it. We don't know how worth it is because we have NO idea of the size of the debt. Argue with the fact I covered all angles as much as you like, but the fact that the poster did not give any detail about the debt, or time-scales means a simple, definitive answer is not possible.

 

anyway, this is all academic because in all probability the poster won't be back. The vagueness in her post perhaps indicates that she didn't expect or want in-depth help, simply a yes or no type answer, and as such, without details from her its pointless arguing any more about it. She's had the info, I'm content to let her consider her circumstances and decide what scenario is most applicable to her

The creditor eventually caught up with him and he laughed and took no action as he thought he was outside the 6 years. A court was satisfied that the creditor had applied due diligence and done everything it could to enforce the CCJ and allowed the CCJ to be reactivated.

 

 

That reads like a case of someone deliberately sticking two fingers up at the creditors, so to speak.... not a good idea at all. Thanks for the example.... :-)

well basically, yes, one of his motivations was to avoid the CJJ, and the consequences of not fulfilling it - bailiffs, charging orders, etc

 

But, anyone who moves address and doesn't inform creditors is open to the same accusation. It just so happens, that most DCAs are pretty incompetent and unable to track people properly, and the amounts concerned are not worth the work/difficulty. At the end of the day, if a DCA is paid on commission, it's not likely to be worth it to do a lot of tracking, and the banks are not set up to do it properly either.

 

It mostly depends on the amount that could be earned/recovered. Some debts are not worth the hassle, and the CCJ lapses. Perhaps the orig poster falls into that category, or perhaps they fall into the 'worth it' category
