    • 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,

      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.

PILON is only taxable if provided for in your contract. Therefore, we could assume that your employer is paying contractual PILON, due to the payment being taxed.

 

But where we need detail is as per that holiday payment... is your employer paying 7 days, or 5 days... ie. if you work a 5 days week and then be off at the week end, then a week's work is 5 days, thus taking a week off would mean 5 days holidays, plus 2 days off (ie. weekend)... and if it is the case, your EDT would be 31 May 2011, date of that letter...

 

I would be shocked if the PILON is in the contract of employment, i know people who have been there 30 years and never had a contract or employment particulars, if i requested one i don't think they could provide one.

 

As for the holiday, i know i got 28 days a year, i only know this as i was told by the girl in accounts.

 

Is the holiday 5 or 7 days??? i really don't know, all i know is that if i had a week off then they would take 7 days off the 28.

 

My working hours would very from working upto 21 days straight to having 3 days in a week off, no pattern at all :(

On the last rota (April, May, June) i have on averaged 2 days a week off but the first 3 months on the rota i only got one day a week off.

As a team in March we did say we were working to many hours as i know i averaged 61 hours a week (without opt out) for the first 3 months but this came down to around 50 on this rota.

Are you sure about your second statement? (Please, check against that payslip you must have which shows your previous holidays)...

 

If it is the case, then your employer paid accrued holidays to the end of June 2011, thus bringing your EDT to 30 June 2011...

On the pay slip where it says holiday taken shows 0.00

 

All it says is holiday pay £237.50, it has no days or hours on it.

The pay slip doesn't even show the week i have taken in April. Looking at April's pay slip it doesn't show any holiday taken, just my normal basic wage plus commission less deductions.

They have paid me 7 days Holiday, If i take my basic of £950 divided by 4 (7 days x 4 = 28 days) they have paid me £237.50. So 7 days has been paid to me.

Therefore, if you are sure that those £237.50 correspond to 7 days holidays, your EDT is 30 June 2011... and you may make a note of the fact that on occasions when you have taken holidays, you were paid 7 days for a week holiday...

Right :smile:

 

I now have two great references in hand from my sales and business manager.

The Letter that was handed to me was signed by the sales Manager.

 

Also over the last few days i have been doing a lot thinking and i have found out that this company that has come in to look at figures, they interviewed everyone in the sales department but they didn't bother with me :( I was the only one not to be interviewed or spoken to.

 

I have been doing a lot of reading over the last few days due to having time on my hands :roll: but i can't seem to find any help really regarding the ET1 form and how i should fill it out.

 

Also I have been looking a bits on the net and i am unsure regarding the PILON payment and when my employment will be class as terminated. Some say there and then but it will be breach of contract if the previsions are not there for a Pilon payment and some say it can be added to my employment which would make me over 12 months :???:

 

http://www.payandbenefitsmagazine.co.uk/pab/article/legal-comment-pilons-sufficient-to-terminate-contracts-12318802 - this case has put doubt in my mind :(

I will copy and paste the article if i am not allowed to link or you don't want to click the link.

There was contractual provision for PILON in this case, there wasn't in yours.

There's the difference.

Got a few things to add to this and appologies if its been mentioned already.

 

If you are claiming unfair dismissal then you have to have worked there for min of 12 months.

However if you are claiming unlawful dismissal and IMO this is unlawful as there was no investigation nor disciplinary hearing then there is no min time that you are required to have worked before you can claim.
