    • 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.

Recently I were travelling the 50mph speed limit on the A12 past the Moby Dick junction. I entered the junction on an amber light, but still I was flashed by the red light / speed camera.

 

This only happened on Friday so I have yet to receive anything.

 

Can I still get fined for going through on Amber? I will upload the video if needed.

I will upload the video to YouTube shortly, need to trim the video down as its 5 minutes long.

 

I checked it again, I were traveling 48mph, the 50mph signs are clear in the video before the lights. The camera is actually a mixed speed and red light camera which have recently been installed.

 

It was clear I went though just as it changed to amber, you don't even see the red in the video at all, the flash was on amber. The flash isn't clear in the video, it was a double flash but only one is obvious in the video. No other car went through the light. I were the last through before the change.

 

Edit: I posted back in October about this same camera flashing everyone. It seemed to have been fixed. It looks like to me the camera is still malfunctioning, but want to be sure.

Speeding. You are supposed to slow down when approaching a light controlled junction so you can stop should they change. I would say you had no chance of stopping on any colour.

 

Speeding?! 48mph in a 50 is speeding? If you were correct, everyone would have to slow down to 5mph JUST IN CASE the light changes. Unless you show proof of that I'm sure you're wrong.

You should slow down a bit when nearing traffic lights, just in case.

 

Are you sure the light flashed for you. They should only trigger if you go through the red, after a certain time period ( believe it is 3 second). If the camera recorded it, then it would show whether you went through the red light exceeding the time allowed. The control centre that deals with it, won't do anything with it, unless you have gone through a red. You clearly went through when it was amber.

 

I don't see a problem and I doubt you will hear anything.

We could do with some help from you.

There is a road near Heathrow with loads of different cameras and they go off all the time. You can sometimes think it is you, when it could be someone else or just the cameron being over sensitive.

It is when you go through a junction at that speed with no attempt to slow.

You can't deny that if the lights had changed to red you wouldn't have been able to stop?

 

That's because you have a warning of amber. If it turns amber and you cant safely stop, then you keep going. The lights are timed for the speed limit.

It's the A12 Moby Dick junction. The Moby Dick pub would be on the right of the video.

 

Edit: It may be the junction before actually. I will check again

 

I was taught by two driving instructors that you have to be ready to stop, but there is no set speed in which you have to go. I were going 2mph less than the limit, which is perfectly normal.

There is a point of no return, approaching a T/C junction in which it would be unsafe to stop. You have to make progress and maintain speed to a degree (or fail a driving test for not making progress).

I am familiar with this junction, are you sure it was not someone jumping lights turning right in filter lane ?

You must slow down in advance of any lights and be ready to stop even if they are green and the roads are clear. By maintaining a constant speed it could be shown that you were trying to beat the lights.

 

However as already advised, you'd only be called for it on a red light. Not amber.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You back off the gas, allowing the vehicle to slow to a reasonable speed. Then once you reach a point which you judge as the point of no return you continue through.

This is what I was taught when I learned to drive a car and more recently when I gained my PCV as a bus driver before I become ill.

It is the junction before heading towards Romford Moby Dick junction. Still a 50mph zone.

Then unless you ran a red light, you should be fine. Wait and see if anything comes of it.

Conniff, I think the offence you are looking for is exceeding the speed limit, which at 48 MPH in a 50, he wasn't.

 

'Speeding' in itself isn't an offence.

 

Now, a slowing down Camera...........................that would be cool.

Not really. You'd fail your driving test if you didn't ease off and be ready to stop.

I'm struggling to find where it says that in the highway code. If I were going 25 in a 50, should I still ease off? At what distace should I start? I tend to do it anyway but my speed wont drop more than 2mph. And in this case I were going 2mph under the limit.

 

All I can find is that you stop on amber unless it is unsafe to stop. I must have been 2 or 3 meters away at 48mph when it turned.

 

Please someone provide a source.

The offence would be to drive without due care and attention. If there had been a Police car behind you and they saw you driving near the speed limit through a light like that, they could give you a warning. You had no chance of stopping. BUT the limits on that road are at fault, as there should be a 30mph zone limit ahead of the lights. If they tried it in court, you could argue that whoever designed the safety of that road, had decided that there was no problem drivers doing up to 50mph towards the lights. That you were driving per the road signs and conditions at the time.

We could do with some help from you.
