    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • 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 xx/xx/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 xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/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.

    • 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'll be brief.

I have just sold my car and I am trying to cancel my insurance.

If i had not sold my car I would have had to pay just another 2 months on the policy.

Some idiot drove into me a while ago and though the car was not really damaged I was still quite annoyed and wanted the driver to pay for it somehoe and thought I better tell my insurance company to cover my own back. Silly mistake.

I did not put a claim in, it was simply a 'notification' to let them know.

I strictly said this.

 I called them 2 weeks ago to ask about when I would need to cancel my policy as to not have to pay another month, as I knew my car was due to sell anytime. They said there is a claim still open, and I told them that I did not open a claim, the women on the phone said it would be closed anyway and there would be no more to pay.

I called today as my car has now sold and wanted to cancel the insurance asap. The women told me there is a case open and if I cancel there is still a closing amount to pay because there is a pending case open.

I told her again I did not open a case and she was just giving me spiel about how it's in case the 3rd party puts a claim in!

There is no 3rd party because I did not challenge the case.

They are trying to screw me over here and it's obvious, all these companies the same!

Can someone please advise me, because I do not have money to be burning into thin air.

 

Thanks.

Unfortunately the Insurers are correct. Register an accident with an Insurers where it is possible a third party might claim and if you sell a vehicle before renewal you have to pay any remaining premium for the year. If no claim is made by the renewal date ask for a refund between date of cancellation and renewal date.

We could do with some help from you.

Register a formal complaint in writing advising that the accident was 100% the fault of the third party and you don't see why you have to pay the full annual premium by cancelling early. You want the standard cancellation terms to apply.

See how they respond.

I tried to ask her to speak to a higher up but she would not listen.

 

I do actually have CCTV footage of the accident, and it does show him driving into me, should I use this?

 

I never submited it because my frined said there was a possibility they could come back with a 50/50... I was adamant it was his fault and the video shows it.... maybe I could post it on here?

 

What if I got a letter from the person who had the accident (it was a driver of a large organization) and got them to sign that they were not making a claim? (it furiates me to even type that because I know it was not my fault)!

 

Should I post video up here?

Not being funny, but just get on with it and make your complaint in writing to the Insurance company. We see so many frustrated complainers on this site, who manage to post to this site, but find it difficult writing a straighforward letter. You write very well and seem very well equiped at making a complaint.

 

Your Insurers are basically correct, but if you hassle them enough with a complaint, they might not bother to charge you the premium until renewal. Send the CCTV footage to their claims department for their records.

OK I'll call them up today and ask for a forwarding address.

The next payment would be due on the 18th though. A bit of a tight deadline? Or can I ask for it to be suspended while I write?

And what about the video footage I have and asking the '3rd party' if they are going to make a claim? And if they are not then they should close the case. and what about this refund if no claim is made?

If you think about it.

If you don't want to pay, cancel the direct debit at the bank or cancel the payment authority with the Insurers if it is a debit card arrangement. The payment won't be processed until Thursday, so tine to stop it.

You can get the third party to confirm they will not be making a claim and that they were 100% at fault for the accident.. Your Insurers will want this in writing from the third party.

The silly thing in these situations is technically with a pending claim you have to pay the full years premium. You only get a refund later if no claim payment is made. Not many people are happy paying and possibly getting the refund at an unknown date later. HENCE WHY YOU SHOULD BE COMPLAINING IN WRITING.

OK so just called them, maybe I had it wrong... They are a lovely bunch of people..... :violin:.

Not.

But they said i would only be liable to pay the remaining amount IF a claim is made by the 3rd party.

 

I have threatened them (nicely) and (politely) that I will be in contact with the 3rd party to get a written letter to confirm that they were at fault. I don't know I chat **** sometimes..

looks like I don't have to pay any more money, unless this 3rd party puts a claim in.

Is there a chance that this insurance company will antagonise the situation and write to the 3rd party inviting them to put a claim in? It would make good business sense if they did?!?!?!

This all happened about 2 months ago, they are unsure how long it will take until the case is closed, I asked them how long they normally take and they have said there is no set time... JOKERS. Playing their own rules, it should be illegal.
