    • 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.

I have a loan with greenwoods personal credit i pay £40.60 a week and it is leaving me with nothing i have to borrow money from family to buy food and things for my son then when i get my benefits i have to pay my family back and greenwoods again and again i have nothing i have really fell behind and don't know what to do! My agent will be here on friday and again i will have to give her £40.60 which again means i will need to borrow from someone else to get electricy and gas! I really wish i never took the loans in the first place, I am currently on income support and dla, Is there anything i can do i feel really bad :(

Contact Greenwoods direct and tell them you just cannot afford the repayments at this level and can they work with you to reduce them to an affordable level.

If you can't afford it you can't afford it and tell the agent that. He/she will give you some old toffee that if you don't pay, they don't get paid and that they will send the bailiff in, its all crap, they can't do anything without going to court first, and they will not do that, Greenwoods are Provident, legalised loan sharks, who steer well clear of the courts as they don't want their exstortionate interest rate aired in a public court.

 

Don't let them bully you in to paying what you can't afford or taking out a further loan to cover this one.

They prey on good people like yourself who have no access to mainstream lending.

 

Please don't let them intimidate you.

I just feel really bad and ashamed! The provident manager actually phoned me last week saying she was doing a promotion and offering all greenwoods customers a loan with them she offered me £300 saying she could bring it round the day after! I told her i would just leave it and she phoned again today! It's just a new greenwoods agent i've got and she was a bit huffy when i only offered £30 2 weeks ago! I can only imagine how she will react if i can't pay what i owe! It's the thought of her coming to my house , I really hate this but i honestly can't afford it and i know it's my own fault

Do not feel ashamed or guilty, we have all been in your position at some point, thats why were on here.

Nobody on here will judge you.

 

If you can't face the agent, go out or don't answer the door.

If you feel threatened in any way by the agents manner when they visit, call the Police.

 

You can't pay what you haven't got and your family and priority debts come first. THE PROVI is NOT a priority debt.

You will not get a criminal record and you will not be sent to prision, these are thing I have heard these agents tell customer that can't pay on the night.

 

Look after number one, these parasites need closing down permanately.

 

Even if they were stupid enough to go to court, they would have to win the case first and even then a Judge wouldn't award them more than a £1 a month if your on Income Support. Your DLA is not taken in to account, that is for your disability and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

 

Did you even sign anything when you first got this loan?

Yes i signed paperwork, I think i'll go to my mums on friday cause i really don't think i speak to the agent! Would i need to phone the main office? Do you think it would be ok for my mum to contact them for me? Cause i get upset really easily i suffer severe anxiety and when trying to explain myself i get in a bit of a state so it's not easy for me to speak to people thats why i'm really worried about the agent :( , My mum doesn't know how much i owe and will probably be quite upset to that i've been leaving myself with nothing!

Call them on 0800 068 7761

 

You will have to initiate the call as they will do security checks, they may if you explain your health issues allow your mother to speak on your behalf if you give your permission, but this is at their descresion.

 

There is nothing to fear in calling them, you are simply ringing to reach a solution ammicable to both parties.

 

They will usually arrange for a manager to visit you, where you can come to some sort of arrangement. try and have someone sit in with you so they have heard everything that is said and agreed to.

 

They usual play ball, but don't agree to an amount you can not keep up with on a regular basis. Remember unlike other lenders there are no penalty charges for late/none or reduced payment. You usually pay this to their ****pot solicitors CK Edrupt. As long as you keep up the reduced payments you will have no more hassle.

 

If you get an unfavorable response to your request then pay a visit to the CAB, who will contact them on your behalf.

 

Whatever you choose to do is your call, but don't be bullied or intimidated by this company or its agents, some agents are very very helpful other are just tossers, like any other walk of life.

 

If a £1 a week is all you have to offer, thats all they get, but make sure you pay it every week. They will not like it but they have no option, take £1 a week off you or go to court and get £1 a month if the case isn't thrown out. Judges don't look favourably on creditors that waste the courts time, when payment has been offered or made. You see the picture here.

 

Stand your ground, once they have spouted the companies policies on non payment, they then start to listen. If you don't like what they say, just tell them you are going to seek advice from the CAB.

 

One final thing DONT PAY THEM £40.60 a week if you don't have it, no matter what they tell you is going to happen if you don't pay.

IT IS ALL CRAP - THEY CAN DO NOTHING - TAKE NOTHING - OR REMOVE ANY GOODS

DO NOT WORRY. Before you pay them a single penny make sure you've bought food, gas, electricity etc... your priority bills. If that leaves you with 50p, pay them 50p. The good thing about these loans is that usually they don't charge for late payments, so it really doesn't matter how long you take to pay it off. Don't be tempted by their offers to lend you more to pay it off and give you that little bit spare, it will ALWAYS make the situation worse.

 

Don't worry about your agent - tell her straight you can't pay this week or all you can pay is £2.00 or whatever, believe me - she'll be used to it.

 

Any more questions or worries, just post up, but don't feel the slightest bit guilty. They knew full well what they were doing when they lent you the money to start with.

if the agent did not carry out a full appraisal of your ability to make the repayments- that is his/her hard cheese

 

offer them token payments and tell them you do not want any further help from them

 

ask for an address to send payments to and tell them you do not want them calling at your home again for payments.

 

report them to the police if they ignore your request

 

also report them to the OFT and tell them that they keep offering you more money when you have already told them you cant afford it

DD, I'm not disagreeing with you, but having been in this situation I would say it depends how well you know you're personal agent. Ours lived just up the road in our local village and has become a family friend. If we ever got into difficulty she always covered for us, even at times negotiating six month payment breaks for us, then when we resumed paying just 25% of what we had been (and were supposed to be) paying.

Not at all Vic, I agree. Only the OP knows how well they know their agent. In smaller communities they're often well known, in larger places obviously not. My wife still has a Provident loan (Saint Tingy has paid his - smug grin!!!!!!) and the collector knows us very well. She will do everything she can to help us if we need her to. The last one was similar to a female dog (a b1tch) and coulld not be trusted at all. It's a fine call and you're right to point this out. Thank you Madame Obiquitous!xxxxx

Hi Tingy

 

Notwithstanding a possible misinterpretation of the use of terminology as misogyny; for the avoidance of doubt, I still love you.

PS I went to a lecture on Shariah banking (backed by HSBC and Lloyds) today (events in Middle East etc) and a scholar put it thus; if there are 100 tons of gold in the world and you borrow it all at 10% pa, where does the extra 10 tons of gold come from when you repay it? I think this is comment on fiat currency (and I don't mean Fix It Again Tony). Anyway, back to the Prozac.
