    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Before I contact OFTEL, I want to appeal to BT.

 

We used to be able to ask to be put through to High Level Complaints department,,,, but now I can't get past other desk-jockeys that want me to repeat the problem time & time again, then say that they can't help.

 

I have been told to write to the Correspondence Centre,,,, but I now need to go higher than that.

 

Can anyone give me the address of the highest department that I can write to (preferably the C.E.O's) please ?

 

I find BT unnecessarily bad,,,,, but once you get through to the top people - they do tend to get things sorted - which no underlings can, or will do.

 

thanks in advance

RN: They just don't seem to give a damn,,,,,, the company no longer care,,,, whereas all companies years ago would fight to keep your custom,,,, they arn't bothered now whether we stay with them or not.

 

Every time we contact the ombudsmen of various services,,,,,, they might just as well be employed by the companies,,, as they just reiterate the standardised spiel as the companies do,,,, they are no help at all.

 

All we can all do, is vote with our custom. If complaints don't work, go somewhere else.

 

Good Luck

BT have the monopoly, they own all the lines! So they know they can treat us the way they do, because we have little or no alternative. At least emailing him didn't cost me anything and made me feel better about the £120 bill i just paid!

Me Vs ICS = 1-0

Me Vs BT = 1-0

Me Vs UKPC = 1-0

Ok so your P1$$ed off with BT, (British Twits)

 

Ring Ofcom on 020 7981 3040 Then Press option 1 and Option 3. You will get an advisor this way, gauranteed.

 

Put in your formalcomplaints and ask for BT's High Level complaints and a reference number. You will get a reference Number but in case you don't get the High Level Complaints number for BT its 0800 731 2762.

 

Make as much fuss as possible, once you have contacted BT and give your reference number they should start to take notice. If that fails, go down the post line and if that fails Ofcom will help.

You may prefer to lodge a complaint with Otelo (providing you have either recieved a deadlock letter or your complaint has been ongoing for 12 weeks)

 

Otelo's contact details are as follows:

Otelo (Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman)

PO Box 730

Warrington

WA4 6WU

Phone: 0845 050 1614

Fax: 0845 050 1615

 

It costs BT a large sum of money for Otelo to even look at a complaint, so it is worth telling BT before you do this. Also Otelo are quite likely to award compensation. It's not a fast solution but hopefully it will help some people.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

 

Or send a cheque or postal order payable to Reclaim the Right Ltd.

It costs British Trouble £50 for each Otelo complaint, hardly a large sum of money! [it's the FOS that costs financial institutions £450 per complaint].

 

 

British Trouble is nothing but TROUBLE!!! To be avoided at ALL costs!!!

Only £50? I thaught it was higher. (probably the propaganda BT fed me when I was working for them :))

 

Still, if you have a deadlock letter or you've let it go for 12 weeks without taking them to court, would be worth contacting Otelo.

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

Hi Iaint...

BT High Level complaints 0800 731 2762. I got through to this number.

which got me more information on an ongoing prob. with BT. They wanted to know where I got their number because they said it can only be divulged by OFCOM Reference Team (0300 123 3333) & (0807 312 762 762) where I was treated with the greatest of respect and efficiency. I did not tell them where I got the contact details. Many thanks for your post.

At last somebody was prepared to listen and engage in sensible discussion and advice!.

Just noticed this post - reading through my subscribed threads - the actual company is British Telecommunications PLC. "BT Limited" supplies the services to group companies and to overseas markets. If you have a contract with British Trouble, then you should write to the same address but to "British Telecommunications PLC" which is the company that would supply your phone line. Technical difference, but very relevant if issuing court proceedings or the like.

Hi every one, just registered, been having problems with erroneous one off charges set against my phone bill and the In-laws phone bill after subscribing both of us[in the same town]to BT's Anytime Unlimited plan from the default BT plan. In-Laws had an over charge of £207+ pounds taken from their bank account. BT admitted they were wrong but only credited the BT accounts, not the bank accounts. Took me 103 days to sort it out from start to finish.

 

Then they [bT] did it to me when I signed up, BT Ireland promised to sort it, which they did not, then BT India rang me today [who I refuse to contact because in the In-Laws case I found them completely useless, bless em] Any the lady said that my BT account would be credited but not my bank account.

 

Anyway I was on the verge of contacting Oftel, when I stumbled up this website........rang the BT High Level complaints 0800 731 2762, explained my case, and even though I should have gone through Oftel first. The lady said BT's service to myself and the In-Laws had been abysmal, gave me a reference number, is having the money BACS back into my bank account, and both the In-Laws and I will receive compensation for our troubles.

 

Thanks for the info, one call and sorted

OFTEL -v- OFCOM

 

What was the difference ?

 

I ask this as when I contacted them both some years ago, (through their none geographic envelopes) both the replies were from the same office/suite at the same address.

 

Both replies were almost identical, except some punctuation,,,,, it looked as if one of them copied the other,,,, but didn't quite pay attention to the others dots 'n commas' etc.

 

They both said that Big Trouble were right,,,,

 

To me - at that time - I thought they were taking the proverbial pee,,,, which I now know they were, cos BT were certainly in the wrong, & eventually it was sorted - to me that makes both OFCOM & OFTEL unreliable (in some cases).

 

Good Luck to all

Oftel doesn't exist! Ofcom took over the operations of Oftel and some operations of other government departments. Oftel was the Office of Telecommunications and only dealt with telecoms & mobiles [to the best of my understanding]. Ofcom deals with all communications - including radio broadcast and television broadcast.

 

You probably contacted them when they were switching over which would have been in late 2003. Officially on 28th/29th December 2003, Oftel ceased to exist. Ofcom inherited:

- Oftel

- Broadcasting Standards Commission

- Independent Television Commission

- Radio Authority

- Radiocommunications Agency

 

Yes, Ofcom is not the best place to turn when having problems with telecoms companies, but whilst I am normally the last person to defend any part of this government, they weren't established to deal with complaints.

 

Complaints should normally be made through the complaints procedure of the telecoms company and then through the ADR scheme they subscribe to [either CISAS or Otelo], but Ofcom do attend a little bit to complaints but only complaints that fit the areas they are looking into.

 

Basically, if Ofcom aren't looking into that area of complaint then they won't look into your complaint. The only other reason for calling Ofcom is in case they get a substantial amount of complaints about a particular company or particular problem. They may look into rectifying that problem by establishing a by-law. And, Ofcom can't award compensation unless by implementing a law and a company breaking it [and I mean communications related law, not normal consumer law]. So yes, for complaints overall Ofcom are useless but that isn't their remit!

Otelo is the ADR that deal with BT. If you complaint is still ongoing you should Read this :- Ofcom - How to complain and if you've done everything there contact them Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman - Contact Us

The best way to get to the high level complaints department is to either write directly to the chairman or a member of the board. Or to the address on the bill. While you are waiting to hear back from these letters go through the normal channels of ringing an advisor and insit on getting the complaint escalated if you are still unhappy with the outcome.

Try and get the advisors name, however they may only give there first name for security reasons (or alternatively ask for there ein number in which case they will probably **** themselves thinking you know the system). There managers name and a contact number if they say they are going to ring you back but most importantly you need a reference number for your complaint.

It is vital that once you get a response from HLC that they can refer to the complaint on your account, if there is no previous contact showing for the complaint you will be in for a long wait.

Response time from the hlc dept can take upto 2 months so just hold tight.

I noticed on previous posts that numbers for a department are being shared, make the most of it as once a number gets posted like this it will be changed. The reason for this is that the complaint wont be logged with head office so complaint figures will be inaccurate making the advisors of hlc look bad.

Also Id like to point out that £50 for an ofcom case is untrue it costs £260 also dead locks are £350. If you are still unhappy with the resolution offered by hlc advisor then escalate to there manager.

 

If anyone needs further info just ask, do not try and state that my info is incorrect because up until december when i was made redundant i worked in the chairmans office for high level complaints

Oh just one more thing, be polite most people want to help but they arent permitted to go beyond what they are allowed to do

The best way to get to the high level complaints department is to either write directly to the chairman or a member of the board. Or to the address on the bill. While you are waiting to hear back from these letters go through the normal channels of ringing an advisor and insit on getting the complaint escalated if you are still unhappy with the outcome.

Try and get the advisors name, however they may only give there first name for security reasons (or alternatively ask for there ein number in which case they will probably **** themselves thinking you know the system). There managers name and a contact number if they say they are going to ring you back but most importantly you need a reference number for your complaint.

It is vital that once you get a response from HLC that they can refer to the complaint on your account, if there is no previous contact showing for the complaint you will be in for a long wait.

Response time from the hlc dept can take upto 2 months so just hold tight.

I noticed on previous posts that numbers for a department are being shared, make the most of it as once a number gets posted like this it will be changed. The reason for this is that the complaint wont be logged with head office so complaint figures will be inaccurate making the advisors of hlc look bad.

Firstly, Ofcom is the regulator. Complaints to Ofcom don't cost a telecoms company, unless there are loads about a specific issue in which case they'd be fined. Ofcom can't handle customer complaints about telecoms companies, they only monitor them and/or refer them. Somebody who worked in the Chairman's office of BT for high level complaints would know this. Somebody who worked Chairman's office of BT for high level complaints would also know that complaints are handled by Otelo, not Ofcom.

 

Secondly, I have dealt with many complaints about BT and with not one has a letter to the address on the bill - i.e. the billing address - resulted in nothing. I have seen hundreds of complaints on these and other forums, and nobody who has written to the billing address has received a response from high level complaints, ever!

 

Thirdly, somebody who ever worked in high level complaints would know that complaints can't be handled by Otelo unless they are sent to the complaints address first - not high level complaints, chairman's office, or a member of the board.

 

Fourth, "I noticed on previous posts that numbers for a department are being shared, make the most of it as once a number gets posted like this it will be changed. The reason for this is that the complaint wont be logged with head office so complaint figures will be inaccurate making the advisors of hlc look bad." doesn't make sense! A number will be changed because the complaint won't get logged so complaint figures will be inaccurate making the advisor's of hlc look bad? What does this mean? The truth is a number will be changed if it is made too public because they don't want half the world getting hold of it and reaching them!

 

Fifth, I was told by Otelo, ok two years ago, that complaints cost £50. Yes, membership costs money, and there may be internal administrative expenses relating to complaints. This may have changed but I doubt very much it is so much more. I seriously doubt that a complaint referred on deadlock letters costs £90 more! This doesn't make sense, as most complaints are referred to Otelo because of a deadlock letter. The definition of a deadlock letter is a final response that the company refuses to go any further. What "meshair" is saying is that complaints that receive no response from BT or where 12 weeks expires without a satisfactory response from BT that are referred to Otelo cost less than complaints that get a deadlock letter!

 

That is probably the most illogical thing I have ever heard! In fact, if anything a complaint not receiving a response demonstrates that nobody has even attempted to look into it, so that should cost more.

 

I very much doubt "meshair" worked for High Level Complaints in the Chairman's office of BT. I am taking anybody who makes such claims and then posts information that can't physically be correct, with a few tablespoons of salt!

BT are Full of It.Recently signed up from Tiscali Package to BT Package.They offered a £50 Credit incentive for Tiscali Customers.First Bill arrives with no credit and is £45 instead of £34.79 for the first three months.Call them and they amend it to £34.79 but was told maybe it will show up on the next bill with no guarantees of the correct amount the next time as they signed me on the wrong package which they don't want to amend.What the Hell.

 

I need some advice.Are they in breach of contract.What can i do to resolve the matter or maybe get out of this contract.Tiscali bills were a bit high but at least i never had any issues with them.

Firstly, both BT & Tiscali are rubbish!

 

Secondly, it is against CAG rules to hijack a thread. If you want help then start your own thread in the relevant area and hopefully people will try to assist you.

Still not resolved prob wth BT (see my post 26 Mar 2009). Do I detect a certain ennui and dissatisfaction amongst BT subscribers?. More and more have been badly served by BT's non-technical staff. This includes incompetent "engineers" who are sent in response to a fault report and log in an imaginary diagnosis which results in overcharge for unneccessary repairs being added to the bill.:mad:
