    • 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.

A few more details of the policy will help people to assist you.

 

How much is the sum assured? Does it include Critical Illness, which can bump up premiums, especially if you have any health issues.

 

How much is your mortgage, is it on a repayment or interest only basis and what is the term of your mortgage?

 

The broker should have given you full details of why the policy was recommended and costs involved.

Well spotted, Dotty.

 

OSW, can you lay your hands on the policy document and the forms that you signed when you took out the policy? That's likely to be the starting point if you're going to complain. And did the broker do a 'reason why' type letter with their recommendations, as Dotty mentions?

 

As Dotty says, policies like Term Insurance and CI can show a pretty dramatic increase in premiums if you have health problems, which I think you said in your other thread that you do.

 

Please tell us what you can.

 

My best, HB

Haven't a clue where documents are in fact I don't think I was ever given them - sum assured £300,000 mortgage at time was repayment now interest only 25 years term

 

I filled in doc's with medical details but at time condition had no effect on my body I had never been ill and If only it had critical illness on it !

 

He never gave me an outline as to why this policy was being sugestted

 

I did at the time ask him if I could go elsewhere for cover and he said no?

Yes same policy I have read through what I wrote there - I said that it was adaptable term - which means I wrote that off the letter at the time so why does this letter now say term only ???

 

I am going to dig out that last letter whilst looking for the historic info - ones things for sure something is not right here either way

Hello again. I agree, this definitely doesn't sound right. There have been rules in place about recommending life assurance policies for many years, and they included providing you with written quotations and a 'reason why' letter when I was last involved with something like this.

 

Is the firm who advised you still in existence? I'm guessing you're dealing directly with the provider, am I right?

 

My best, HB

Yes HoneyBee

 

I think they are still in existence and yes only time I ever hear anything is directly from adviser (not advisor provider)

 

Definately not right hey but even then where would I go if I complain they refund my contributions ?? even then I would get stuck because I could never get another policy think either way I may shoot myself in the foot but £34,785 paid over period for nothing how can i justify that suppose all i ould hope for would be to pop my clogs

 

Annoying thing is I had a serperate insurance for this amount (as my husband has) before I took out the mortgage but missed one payment then could not qualify again :(

Best to wait until you have dug the paperwork out and once you have them, someone on here will hopefully be able to help.

 

Once you have gone through it all and if you feel you have a valid complaint then you must write to the Life company stating all the facts, especially what the adviser said at the time the sale was made (it should all be covered in the 'Reason Why Letter') and if it's not then I would certainly be asking questions.

 

Do you know if the man still gives advice? You you can check the FSA site to see if he is registered http://www.fsa.gov.uk/

Hi Folkes

 

I have had a dig through took me longer than expected everything in my life is go slow to say the least ! :|

 

I have no reasons for why this policy was recommended by mortgage advisor therefore I was never given one just told to sign on the dotted line as it were.

 

So where do I go from here is it wise to take this further given my medical standing now ?

 

and in regards to this policy only covering me/us till we are 56 I really don't understand that because the top of the paper says adaptable term plan ?

 

confused again

Hello again. Do you have anything in the policy document that defines 'adaptable' at all please? I would have thought it should be se out in writing.

I will contact Insurance the minute I have managed to pay this months payment finding it difficult to scratch together -

 

Wanted to ask you I was going through bank papers the other day and have 2 insurances Life and critical illness policys niether of which I could evr have claimed on - these were sold to me by HSBC when I firstt bought my house they were hounding me to buy products infact the rep that sold me these came round to the house and was here 2 hours until he made a 'sale' I wondered given I could not ever make a claim can I make an application to have contributions repaid ?

Have you managed to get the details of the adaptable term policy yet?

 

If you believe you were missold the policies with HSBC then you would have to write to them and state all the reasons why you think it was and see what they have to say.

 

You also mention in an earlier post about the policy finishing when you are 56. Would this have been to coincide with the end of the original term of your repayment mortgage?

 

Any policy normally related to a repayment mortgage would be on a decreasing term so your life cover reduced in line with your mortgage (this would be cheaper than level term which would cover the whole amount of an interest only mortgage for the number of years the mortgage runs) generally a 25yr mortgage.

 

It's still difficult to give you any help without full policy details.

No Dotty

 

I looked for a statement of reasons provided by the mortgage broker nothing there errrr............

 

Knowing me and my paperwork hoarding I don't think I was given any ???????????

 

NO paperwork detailing policy details and all these letter say are adaptable term at top and no further details underneath other than this one that says its going to expire at 56 so I'm at a loss

 

I asked honey bee could I get copies of policy details from Insurers she said yes but haven't paid this months contribution yet so I will contact them when its been paid so I can't do anything till then can I

There is no reason why you shouldn't contact them to get copies of the plan.

 

Beware of the policy lapsing if premiums are not paid on time! If you leave it too long, they can cancel cover until a new declaration of health is provided by you, it does vary depending on the company you are with though but with health issues, it could be a problem for you.

I know :sad:

 

I will make payment they have had their money every month without fail for 11 years - not had any trouble other than the last 2 months always paid within the month though - should be square with them by the end of next week

 

No way would they accept any declaration of health from me now :-(

 

Any policy normally related to a repayment mortgage would be on a decreasing term so your life cover reduced in line with your mortgage (this would be cheaper than level term which would cover the whole amount of an interestlink3.gif only mortgage for the number of years the mortgage runs) generally a 25yr mortgage.

 

It's still difficult to give you any help without full policy details.

 

Neither of the above really tally ? when mortgage taken out it was repayment and insurance is not decreasing cover ? level term ???? dates add up and cover amount to 25 years but none of this detailed to me on purchase as it were but still doesn't explain letter heading adaptable term hey ???

 

I will however get straight to insurance sold by HSBC - I really could have done without being so niave when I took out these policies hey
