    • 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 i am in same situation but trying to draft a letter to admit my guilt i just dont know what to put. I did create a thread the other day but have had no replies other than one of support from honeybee as of yet but a lot of views, maybe its a bad case :o(

 

It'll be fine Northerngirl, honestly, just write the letter with relevant details & they will work out a payment plan for you out of existing allowance.

  • 4 months later...
Got a letter through on Saturday.

 

Have been claiming as a single parent since July 2009 when dh and I split up, got back together sept 2010 (but no proof he was not in the house)

 

I have falsely claimed from sept 2010 until getting the letter on Saturday. I won't even bother making excuses the lie just got out of control.

 

In the letter it says that they are looking at the 2011/2012 claim but nothing yet about previous years. Have seen people on here say though that they only investigate the years it mentions on the letter?

 

Anyway- have tried calling them on the special number all week but it is constantly giving a message saying the call cannot connect? Not sure if there is a fault or not. Tried calling the normal tax credits number but they won't transfer me.

 

Can I write a letter instead?

 

It says just to call on the letter they sent me but I'm going out my mind and want it sorted ASAP.

 

What would I write in a letter? Would I admit right away to husband being here since 2010 or say he was living with me for the year in question. Any help with wording would be great. Also I don't want to make a joint claim I want the money paid back and to never deal with them again, would they agree to this or will I definitely have to go through a investigation?

 

 

Hi cat can u please message me as I am in the same boat and am sick to the stomach my husband moved back in with me in feb and I never called them yet, but received a letter at the end of last week and I really need some help writing the letter, please can you help me x

*****UPDATE*****

 

Am just of the phone to tax credits. She called me back like she said she would yesterday.

 

She has stopped my claim from today and I have to pay back all the money I have received since 6th April last year.

 

I have just cried with relief, this is absolutely the best outcome for me. I was terrified my husband who knows nothing about this (even now) would be dragged into it and may have been in trouble at work, was worried for my children and family also being tarred with the same brush as me if this came out.

 

My family are so honest and hardworking and I am so ashamed off how I have turned out.

 

I need to work it out properly but think it will be about 15k.

 

I asked if this was def what was going to happen and would I def not be prosecuted and she said no it would not go to court I just need to pay the money back (fingers crossed this does not change!!!)

 

I am so so ashamed but relieved that now I can start to pit it right.

 

She said I could put in a joint claim from last year but I just want this paid back and never want to deal with them again.

 

Hi cat

How did you get on in the end? I've just ot myself in the same stupid situation and feel like I'm drowning in... Did you receive a fine as well? How long did it take to get sorted in total? Did you appeal?

I'm also in same position except with child care costs, I was sure in 2011 when renewed I advised that child care stopped in feb 11, but got letter today asking for all receipts for 12-13, I don't have them as wasn't any child care, I m to ashamed and embarrassed to call but want to write a letter admitting I was mistaken, I don't read any paper work as with 5 kids it tends to get shoved in a cupboard. Please any advise needed I'm so so scared.

Claiming child care costs and not having any is more straight forward than undeclared partner cases..You either have costs or not. If you can't produce receipts for the dates they've asked for then you have no choice to write to them and say you thought you had informed them of the change. There's nothing else you can do. Hopefully they will treat it as a late reporting of a change and only levy as small penalty. Just say you're really sorry, thats about all the advice I can offer. good luck x

I know you're scared but tbh what can they do but ask you to pay it back? I know it's hard to give up money you rely on and I can see why ppl don't report changes. Get the letter off and you'll start the ball rolling. The sooner you stop the childcare the better x

Dear Blah,

In response to your recent request for receipts for child care costs, I have to inform you I don't have any. This is because for the period in question I did not have any v

Child care costs. I thought I had informed you of this change.

Please accept my sincere apologies, i didn't intend to

deliberately mislead HMRC, I really thought my TC's had been amended to reflect the change in childcare.

I have 5 children as you know and lead a busy hectic life and I admit to not paying enough attention to my award notice. I accept full responsibilty for this error.

 

Yours faithfully

Rachie

sorry to just jump in But I REALLY NEED HELP....

Ok so first of all I'm not proud of what I've done but I really need help.

 

Last year march I was getting income support and other benefits because I'm a single parent and I have a 5 yr old daughter. I was keen to get out of benefits and start working so I got a job as a trainee beauty therapist. It was not apprenticeship but train while you work so I was given 600 pounds a month as salary and I was working 42 hours a week. After about 2-3 months I had to leave the job but I didn't notify HMRC that I stopped working. I was scared that they would stop paying me working tax credits and child tax credits. I thought I would go back to benefits until I got another job but My employer ( who was giving me 600 p/m) never gave me any pay slips or even p60 That you are meant to get after yo stop working or p 45 or any document. So I was stuck with not applying for benefits and not telling hmrc about stopping work. Now Last month I called HMRC and told them that I have just stopped working ( koz I was done with being scared that they would find out, But now I'm scared that they will still find out . They said ok and the changes will take place in 28 days. Now I'm sooooooo scared that they will find out That i havent worked since 10 months. There must be a system for them to find out right?? Though there was no paper work but my employer took my N.I number before I started working so I believe Im going to be in trouble soon. I also sent HMRC my tax form stating I was working the same. Please don't judge me and just tell me what should I do. I havent heard anythin from HMRC since I told them that I've stopped working. Nothing about an investigation or anything bad.

What should I do now? Will they definitely find out that I wasn't working? Or should I just stay quiet and let the matter die as they know I'm not working anymore. Or should I just confess and may be they will b lenient that way

PLEASE HELP
