    • 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 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.

:)Hi All,

I Just Wanted To Let You All Know It's Not All Doom And Gloom When It Comes To Esa And Fibromyalgia, I Had My Medical On The 28th Of April And Up Until That Time I'd Got Myself In A Right State Which In Turn Had A Knock On Effect With All My Medical Problems, From The Minute I Got In There With The Doctor I Was Put At Ease And Any Questions I Couldn't Answer Were Directed At My Husband Who Is My Carer. I Was Very Lucky In The Respect That I Had A Doctor Who Was Very Well Educated On Fibromyalgia And All My Other Medical Issues ( He Was Telling Me Stuff That Even My Own Consultant Hadn't Told Me) And When It Came To The Phsyical Examination He Said There Was No Point As He Did Not Want To Cause Me More Suffering For The Rest Of The Day Or However Long It Took Me To Recover, After About 45minutes He Said It Was Time For Us To Leave Cos I Didn't Look Too Good, (He Also Commented On The Fact That My Husband Wasn't Looking So Hot Himself)

So That Was That, But Then I Spent The Best Part Of 5 Weeks Worrying And Over-Analysing Everything He Said To Me And Vice-Versa, Lost Many Nights Sleep Over Awaiting The Outcome. Then On Thursday Just Gone Got A Letter To Say I Had "Passed The Medical" And Was Put Into The Support Group. Yippeeee.

I Just Wanted To Let Other People Know That I Had A Positive-ish Experience With The Whole Thing And It's Not All Bad Outcomes For Everyone. The Only Thing I've Been Wondering Is What Happens Now? :)

Glad it went well for you.

 

What happens now? Your rate of benefit will increase, and this increase will be effective from day 92 of your claim. If there's any backdated money due it will be paid to you.

 

After a period of time that varies depending on the recommendations of the doctor who did your medical and the Decision Maker who placed you in the support group, you'll be referred for another medical. The timeframe can be anything from a few months to a few years.

 

You won't need to continue to submit medical certificates from your GP while you are in the support group.

Hey, well done! That's doubled the number of people who've passed their assessment! Is this a small trend starting...? :)

Best wishes

Rae

 

Let's hope so.

 

I meant to ask you Rae, how's your new claim going? Any word of the dreaded assessment? Hopefully this time around you will have the same luck as the OP without having to put up a fight for it.

Thanks All Am Very Relieved, Especially After Reading About All The Problems Other People Are Having Trying To Get What They Are Entitled To. I Had To Go Through The Appeals Process For My Dla And That Was A Nightmare, Don't Think I Could Of Gone Through It Again, Maybe I Was One Of The "Lucky Ones" I Really Don't Know. Things Seem To Be Going Ok At The Moment But Am Just Waiting For Summat Or Someone To Come Along And Pop The Bubble!!!! :)

Just wanted to say Well done on getting ESA, I have been declined mine with no points at all. I have been told to appeal, but am not sure I have the energy, I just want to be put in the support group so I get help on trying to work again to get an income and a social life.

I'm not sure which option to take?

I was worried about this ESA thing. I am on income support at the moment as I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 5 years ago (Had it for over 15 years). I also have chronic insomnia & athsma. I have had some drug treatments & counselling but none have worked. I worry that many of the medical assessors do not even know what FM is & the implications it has on your life. I am sinlge (I have a partner bt we do not live together) but I do get help with things like shopping.

I hope when the time comes for my M.A assessment under the new scheme, the assessor is as knowledgeable about FM as yours. It is a big worry :!:

Im currently in dispute with Atos Medical Services And the Dwp , I was seen where the Scheme for ESA was rolled out at Burnley

I have seen 2 doctors previously both sympathetic to the conditions i have and was kept on with no issues.

 

my health which recently took a further downturn with more nerves acting up and i was sent for another medical at burnley this time i saw a nurse, the nurse did the examination incorrectly made up several allegations one of which was i sat in a chair for 60 mins

i was only in there 30 mins. Then stated synthetic morphine was a "mild Painkiller" during the examination i had a cramp attack and the muscles were having spasms i indicated this she ignored it.

 

the report was full of other fabrications eg i could stand for 30 mins this again was a lie after 5 mins the legs go numb and lumbar pain starts.

 

i placed a complaint and proceeded to investigate things myself and reported the nurse to the nursing and midwifery council whilst on thier site i checked her credentials she was listed as non practicing, basically meaning she was not working in a nursing role or working where a nursing qualification was a requirement i sent the following letter to Atos to which they have not replied as of yet.

 

 

 

i found the following Form the NMC’s code of practice regarding registration the following applies:

 

 

 

“Associate non-practising membership is available to those nurses who wish to take out membership of the RCN, but who are not working, or who are not working in a role where a recognised nursing qualification is a requirement to enable them to undertake that role. Members of this category can access most membership benefits and services, with the exception of workplace representation and our indemnity scheme.”

 

 

 

So with regard to this as Mrs **** is registered as Non Practising – So i believe it is either

 

1) Atos Medical Services do not require medical professionals to undertake these medical examinations – which is a act of negligence as they are using persons who may not necessarily be suitably qualified to undertake medical examinations and making statements of a medical nature. So basically anyone could undertake these examinations with no official medical qualifications.

 

this is a unlawful act.

 

Or

 

Mrs**** committed a act of negligence by not informing her employer she was not registered to carry out duties where a recognised nursing qualification was required. So therefore breached the nursing code of practice by undertaking medical examinations on individuals . this would be conceived as a act of gross misconduct , breach of tort law

and a breach of the human rights act.

 

Can you confirm if you employ people without a recognized qualification to undertake these examinations – as Mrs **** registered as not working in a medical capacity - or has Mrs **** Comitted a Act of gross misconduct i have a right to know as she undertook my "medical examination"

hi. sorry to hear of your trouble. sorry to interrupt but I'm having tests left right and centre for muscle disorders. I'm just anxious to follow the the topic as I too am trying to plan for the future. I'm getting to the stage where now I'm not safe to work on sites as I've just cracked three ribs by falling off a platform whilst at work. I'm self employed but was working for someone at the time. I never got paid for the half day I did that day either but I'd like to add that people tend to forget or ignore what we suffer from.

anyway mini rant over good luck :)
