    • 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.

My wife received EXACTLY the same letter from Philips this morning and called me at work in a panic. Like you she is EXTREMELY prudent with money and timely with payments and had no clue what she had done to incur any fines. She has received no correspondence about the matter other than the bailiff's letter. After numerous calls to Philips she found out only that it relates to a fine dated 02/10/2002 !!! Having moved a number of times since then (even abroad) we knew nothing of this...or even if she ought to owe anything at all.

 

Please, please could you give me the number of the North East London enforcement office you spoke of so we can have the fine rescinded and get the bailiff's off our back. Do I need to file a Statutory Declaration ? I have no details of the Fine as none was provided by Philips.

 

Many thanks in advance

I received exactly the same letter on Saturday - claiming non-payment of a magistrates fine in South West London. Their letter provides minimum level of information to allow me to follow up - so I have no idea how to pursue the matter further other than to call Philips directly. I tried to call Philips this morning but have been stuck in their phone queue for over an hour until I gave up.

 

Does anyone know the contact number for the South West London office ?

 

Thanks

Hi

 

After several failed attempts to contact Philips, I made some progress.

 

I contacted the Brentford Magistrates court who look after South West London - they were massively helpful. They looked up the Warrant on their database (using my name to locate relevant file). They were able to provide me with details including account number, address where summonds was sent, amount of fine, date etc. They were also able to advise on next steps which is to swear a Statutory Declaration at my local magistrates. I have contacted them - they again were massively helpful and have advised me to attend my local court to swear the Stat Dec.

 

Hopefully this will draw a line under this matter ....

My wife called Stratford magistrates court this morning and talked to the fines department. The lady on the other end was very helpful, provided all necessary info and advised to contact the local magistrates rather than coming to Stratford. `My wife contacted our local magistrates court today straight away in person. She was told to submit a letter ASAP which would provided certain info like the court name where she was convicted, court date, offense. The letter would be the start of filing the Stat Dec.

She has done that as well in a couple of hours as well. (yes, she is very quick when needed). The next step is to hear from the local court when she can swear the StatDec. Meanwhile the lady from the fine department said "if bailiffs come although unlikely tell them you are dealing with the court directly, you are about to file the StatDec and they should go away"

As many people on here know, I have an advice service for bailiff enquiries and we have assisted in hundreds of statutory declarations and in almost all of them, you can take your Statutory Declaration into any firm of solicitors to get sworn and all that is then needed is to send a copy by fax (or post) to the issuing court (than issued the fine in the first place).

 

Also, the court should be able to hold all enforcement in any event and contact the bailiff company on your behalf.

Could anyone provide me with a template for a Statutory Declaration letter please ?

 

Thank you

there you go a post by tomtubby

 

 

MAGISTRATE COURT FINES. Template of a Statutory Declaration.

With so many queries being posted on CAG concerning unpaid Magistrate Court FINES I am providing a Template of a Statutory Declaration.

 

Only 3 companies can enforce these fines; Marston Group, Philips and Swift (Wales).

 

The problem that is occuring very often is that many of these FINES have been issued in somebody's absence long after that person has moved home and the first time that they know of the offence was when they have received a visit from a bailiff
link3.giflink3.gif
.

 

In the main these FINES are commonly for the following:

 

Using a TV without a Licence.

 

Driving without valid insurance

 

Driving without valid Road Fund Licence.

 

Failure to provide driver details

 

Driving whilst using a Mobile Phone.

 

......................... ......

 

If you were unaware of the fine being issued or correspondence had gone to a previous address, then the ONLY way to get this debt away from the bailiff and returned to the court is by way of a Statutory Declaration.

 

This will need to be sworn in front of a solicitor and this should cost just £5. The Statutory Declaration must then be either faxed to the Magistrates Court where the fine originated from or taken there in person.

 

The bailiff MUST then withdraw all enforcement.

 

The following is a template Statutory Declaration.

 

 

I:

Ms Smith of: 1, The Street, Anytown, Anywhere. Post Code.

 

DO SOLEMNLY AND SINCERELY DECLARE THAT:

 

I had no prior knowledge of any correspondence from xxxx Magistrates Court following an offence on
(enter date)
for
(enter offence
ie; exceeding the speed limit). From information provided to me today by the Magistrates Court I am informed that a hearing for this matter was held in my absence where I was fined
(enter amount)
with costs of
(enter amount)
and that (ie; my licence was endorsed with three points).The reference number for this case is:
(enter case number)

 

AND
THAT:

 

Notification of this fine first came to my attention on
(enter date)
when a bailiff from Martson Group Ltd came to my home and gave a letter to my mother. This letter stated that he was in possession of a distress
link3.giflink3.gif
Warrant dated
(enter date)
and that he required a sum of
(enter amount)
within 3 days failing which he would return with a locksmith.

 

I would like to advise the Court that I am suffering from
(enter health problems
if any).
In addition, I am receiving medication for ie;
(severe depression etc)
and have been under the care of a counsellor.

 

My financial position is that I am in arrears with my mortgage and I am in discussions with my electricity and gas provider as I am currently facing disconnection. I also have arrears with credit cards and loans.

 

I genuinely do not remember receiving documentation concerning this fine.

 

I make this solemn declaration conscientiously believing the same to be true and by virtue of the provisions of the Statutory Declarations Act 1835.

 

DECLARED AT:

 

SIGNED:

 

DATE:

 

Before me:

 

 

Solicitor/Commissioner for Oaths:

These old fines are of serious concern. As mentioned above, I have an advice service and since Monday, we have received 17 enquiries concerning this same company and very OLD fines. In 14 cases, after endless telephone calls, it has been discovered that these "fines" relate to offcences that took place between 2000 and 2004 and in 12 cases, Statutory Declarations have been submitted as a summons had ben sent to a very old address after the person had moved.

 

In your case, did the letter from Philips Ltd have a date on it? All of the ones that I have received enquiries about have NO DATE !! Absolutely shocking.....

.

PS: Hallowitch...once again...excellent work finding the Statutory Declaration!!!

Hello,

 

I received two of these Philips Distress Warrant letters today - different reference numbers - different amounts -

£300 and £317.09

 

With the same '7 days or we'll force entry to your home' threat.

 

Neither letter is dated.

I have NO prior knowledge of either of these alleged debts.

From 'North West London'

 

I will contact the magistrates court if I can find a number on Monday morning and follow your advice above.

 

I will post again to explain how things unfold for anyone else in my boat.

 

These letters are extremely intimidating.

Hi all, I have just recieved two letters from Philips stating Notice of Distress Warrent too. They allege that they are in receipt of a Distress warrent for non-payment of a Magistrates' Fine issued by South East London. Both letters have the same Philips Reference Number, but both are for different amounts (£370.00 and £445.00). Neither letter has any date on it.

 

As far as I am aware I have no Magistrates' fines. I have only ever once had a fine and that was back in about 2000 and was paid off in full. It was so long ago that I really doubt that I have any evidence that it was paid in full. I have had absolutely no correspondance before recieving these letters about any fines or Distress Warrent. What do I do next?

 

Should I contact Philips? I'm wary of doing this as I really don't want them to have my telephone number and the calls cost 5 pence per minute! How do I get the details of any Distress Warrent? Can I then make a Statutory Declaration at any court?

 

How long have I got before a bailiff will break into my property? Can I prevent them from doing this?

 

Please help.

 

Many thanks in advance.
