    • 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.

Has anyone here had dealings with them? About a year ago i got a phone call from axis saying my phone bill was in the region of £1200 i nearly died it turned out that my youngest son had been playing with the sky remote and connecting to the games and other stuff he didn't know what he was doing and neither did i, the thing that annoyed me most was the fact they waited till my bill got to that amount to notify me my normal monthly bills were usually around £35 .So you would have thought that when it startd to go into the £100's they would have realised something was unusual, anyway i told her i didn't have that sort of money and my phone was put on incoming calls then eventually cut off , i made a couple of payments then it was passed to a debt collector who i arranged to pay Xamount each month, which i didn't end up doing as i couldn't afford the amount they were offering to accept anyway i had the odd letter from axis saying i owed £12 something but the larger amount was passed on to this debt collector. the contract was a 12 month contract that ended in july last year , i used to pay my bills by debit card and if i was a bit late they used to take the payment from my card without me knowing. then in august last year the day we were going on holiday i checked my account to find there was £1200 missing i rang the bank to see where this money had gone and it turned out axis had taken it with no warning or letter at this point i had not heard anything from them for 3 months.They said they were well within there rights to take the money from my card and that by using my card to pay for earlier bills was giving them permission to use my card for any future bills .At the time they took the money i was no longer a customer and also they had passed the debt on to someone else should they have been able to take it and should i have done something about it?

[EDIT] Go to your bank branch and demand the money is returned immediately - there is no 'guarantee' provided, however you need to provide informed consent and been given notice of the payment being taken, so in the absence of this, they have to reverse the debit (especially as it was a Cardholder Not Present transaction).

i never signed anything to allow them to continue using my card , it did mention something on the contract about using debit cards but i was no longer under contract by the time they took the money.I was gobsmacked because i had no warning i spoke to the company a couple of times they were very rude and said they were well within their rights to take what was owing to them. the thing is this was last august would it still be worth trying to persue it, i dont know of any other company that does this i pay a lot of my bills with my debit card but non of them take payment without my permission

You don;t have to sign anything, but they can take a verbel authority for a continuous mandate, but they take a risk if it is challenged. Thje fact it happend last year may be an issue as 45 days has been quoted to be before as being a reasonable time period to discover and pursue return. You could always say you hadn't noticed it though.

 

The way other firms work with debit cards may not be as cavalier as the one you are complaining about, but as you;ve discovered, giving your card details does mean you remain at tisk until the expiry date is reached or you get issued with a replacement. I won't give out card details over the phone for this reason. These days this is making it harder and harder to buy things, but I least I don't have to stand over my bank statements with a shotgun!

Hi,

 

im sorry to hear about your misfortune with Axis, but i have been with them for 4 years now and they have slashed by bills in half from what i was paying with BT, and the customer service has been up to standard aswell.

no complaints from me.

 

 

I always find it strange when a person will go to the lengths of creating an account to make 1 post that basically endorses a product... Am I just a cynic, or does anyone else think it strange that someone would search forums looking through problems when everything they have is working well?

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

I agree with the previous posts about people posting with ulterior motives. Just get a life and let the people who need help with their problems get it!

 

In response to the above user, they can't refuse your offer of a payment plan. The new laws governing taking legal action state that all steps have to be taken first to find a compromise to the scenario, this includes some form of official mediation. They won't be able to request a CCJ or anything against you. If they send you any such "legal letters" then make sure you respond with your offers as it'll just make the judge rule in your favour.

Complaints

 

We make every effort to ensure that our customers are happy with the level of service, and the products and service they receive from us. However, despite our best efforts, things can go wrong. We take customer complaints very seriously and aim to resolve them quickly and efficiently. If you have a complaint about any part of our service, please contact our Customer Service Team on 08448751942. Our advisors will ask you about your complaint and seek to resolve the problem while you are on the line. During any discussions we will protect the privacy of the information that we hold on you. To do this we may have to ask you questions to confirm that we are speaking to the right person.

 

You may also send your complaint to us in writing: 4th Floor, 50 Lowgate, Hull, HU1 1EN

 

We will try to resolve your complaint quickly and efficiently, and to keep you informed at all times. If your complaint is not resolved to your satisfaction, you can take it further within our company, and ultimately to the Managing Director at the above address. If we cannot resolve the problem, we will write to you to say so.

 

 

If your complaint has not been resolved within 8 weeks, or you have received a letter from us saying that your complaint has reached “deadlock”, then you may ask for help from The Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman (Otelo): PO Box 730, Warrington, Cheshire, WA4 6WU Tel: 01925 430870 or 0845 050 1614 email:[email protected] Website: Office of the Telecommunications Ombudsman - Home

 

OTELO is an independent organisation which is approved by Ofcom to provide an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) service. Ofcom-approved ADR services sort out disputes between communications providers and their consumer and small business customers. Their job is to investigate complaints fairly by listening to both sides of the story. They look at the facts given to them before recommending any action that may be needed to put things right.

That is taken from their code of practice. If you write a nice assertive letter to them as detailed above, put your full complaint, what you would like for them to resolve this, and if they cannot provide that send you an explanation why not along with a DEADLOCK letter.

Damn Locutus, you beat me to it :D

 

Another thing is that every case that is taken up by the ADR (Otelo or CISAS, depends which provider is registered with which ADR) costs them money. Normally around £300-£400. You can easily use this in your favour.

 

E.g., If your dispute is only for £200, even if the ADR rules in their favour they'll still be out of pocket. Most companies will settle for a greatly reduced amount (easily 50% if not less) or will just wipe it clean. Make it clear that you will keep complaining for the 8 weeks (used to be 12 weeks), and will lodge the complaint with their ADR. Mention in all your letters and calls. Hopefully they'll take the hint and drop the matter.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION !!!!!!

 

My partner recently contacted AXIS about getting information about their deals, but after talking with other suppliers, including Talk Talk (which AXIS gave us false information about!), we decided not to go with them and to stay with our current supplier. After a phone call today from an engineer who was to install a BT phone line which we had had no notification of, we contacted AXIS, and the other companies which we needed to resolve this. After numerous calls this is what happened.....

 

1) AXIS had billed us (for an instalation fee) even though we had entered into no contract with them and refused to remove us from their computer system (including my partners bank account details). Even though we told them we did not wish to enter into a contract with them. They claimed we had entered into a verbal contract and we were told that it would take up to 72hrs to find our original call record to confirm that we did not want to commit to anything untill late Jan.

2) We then contacted our current supplier to find out if they had been contacted about the change over of service, and we were informed no company had been in touch with them to change the line over. We then confirmed that we would be staying with them and for future reference were not to transfer our service without our permision.

3) Contacted OFCOM but they were of no real help themselves. Instead they gave us phone numbers of other agencies to contact.

4) We then contacted my partners bank to ensure no money would to go to AXIS and at this point we discovered that they attempted to lift money from her account at the end of Dec'09 (while on the call to a manager at AXIS we had not been notified of this). My partner had not wished to give AXIS her account number as we were still contacting other suppliers to find the best deal. All she gave them was her main card number, as they wanted to ensure she had an account with the bank she had claimed to be with. They somehow managed to get the rest of her details (experation date, and 3 digit code from the signature strip) and accessed her account and even went as far as to set up a direct debit.

5) The engineer then called back and told us that he wasn't sure but he thought that the line had been already connected and asked if we could check it. We did this and found no dial tone and informed him we would be contacting BT about AXIS, after this he gave us his job number and the phone number we were apparently being issued with. Also he told us that he was installing the line for a company called OPAL Telecom.

6) We then contacted BT... after speaking with the nicest young lady we were asked to speak with her manager, as she could find no record of AXIS, but said the name OPAL did sound familier. After talking with this lovely manager we discovered BT have nothing to do with AXIS (because of reasons we can't go into due to the fact we are still persuing this) but they do indeed rent lines to OPAL. She also advised us to contact BT Open Reach (this is the company which deals with the engineers for all BT lines) to find out if the the engineer who contacted us was infact one of their's, because... A) the work order no. he gave us did not exist on BT's computer system and B) the phone number we were given doesn't exist with then either!

 

Now we have been advised by the bank, our current service provider, etc. to contact the following,

Data Protection I.O.C. for them refusing to remove our information including the bank details (which is identity theft),

Obtain a crime reference number from the police as this could be classified as bank fraud. Also to contact 2 different fraud departments at her bank and report the incident. We will also be contacting our lawyer to look into suing them for mental anguish and the cost of four and a half hours of premium line phone calls.

 

So to round up -

AXIS TELECOM ARE A COMPANY YOU SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH. IF YOU ARE AN EXISTING CUSTOMER CONTACT BT A.S.A.P. AS THEY MAY BE INVESTIGATING THEM AND ALSO OPAL TELECOM.

i had this company ring me on friday offering me a good deal..sounded really good so i said i was interested. Then over the weekend i was a bit unsure as i had not heard about this company before so came on here and seen all the reviews (majority of them bad) i then decided i didnt want to go through what many of you people have done with them so after ringing who im with now to say im not leaving you if this company calls you to end my contract please dont..and they even gave me a better deal cos i was thinking of leaving. Anyway i have just had a call from axis telecom to arrange installation ect i told them im not going with them anymore the woman was not taking no from me and it resulted in me having to raise my voice for her to hear the word NO. She then said i was rude and no need to raise my voice. But even now they still calling me to change my mind...very very annoying. But thanks to reading all this i can honestly say i have had a lucky escape.

Like several correspondents I was concerned at the adverse comments published about Axixtelecom. However I decided to subscribe because the terms appeared to be advantageous. There were some delays in the changeover from my previous phone and Broadband supplier and some technical problems with the Broadband connection. All this however has been resolved. I found the Customer service staff exceptionally helpful and patient; they adjusted my bill to take account of the delays and inconvenience, and I now have a service which seems likely to be at least as efficient as what I had previously, and substantially cheaper.

When the delays were taking place I did intimate that I was considering cancelling the contract. This was agreed, without difficulty, but I am glad now that I had the patience to allow the technical and administrative issues to be resolved as it seems likely that I will be the gainer from doing so.

I was with Axis Telecom for about 3 or 4 years. My phone and broadband was about £20 a month with free 01 phone calls and unlimited broadband. No problems at all!

Unfortunately their prices gradually shot to £40+ and a 5gig limit a month before added costs.

 

I knew my verbal contract was due to cease in December 2010 so I decided to change over to a much cheaper and better deal with a another company.

I had the phone call from Axis asking if I would like to renew my 12month contract. I politely informed the lady that I did not, and why, and that I had already asked (company) to take over my line when contract run out. She acted a little gobsmacked and could only say "Ohh! Ok! Bye!" as if it was a personal thing. No offers to stay etc etc

 

(company) told me that they would do all the work changing over, so I sat back and waited. A couple of weeks went by with no indication that anything was happening. I phoned (company) a few times, they were having problems.

Meanwhile Axis phoned. I asked why they were STILL using my line. She replied that they give a couple of weeks free service while you change your line. That was very nice of them.

Axis phoned a short time later. The lady ('Susan' I think) informed me that my contract had ROLLED OVER. I informed her that it DID NOT ROLL OVER! She claimed that it did because I didn't supply another company to take over the line. Which I informed her that I did, and spent an uncomfortable length of time having the "It's rolled over! No it has not rolled over!", pantomime with the now very arrogant lady.

 

I immediately rung (company). I was told that Axis had stopped them from taking my line over. I reordered with them and informed my bank to block Axis from my direct debit account (I realised how devious they were). Axis put my phone on incoming calls only minutes later.I disconnected my phone so that 'Susan' could not harras me further.

 

Soon I had a letter from a debt collecting agency for £200.00+. I rung them to inform them that no contract was in effect and that they were not to harras me any further. They sent an e-mail to confirm that a 1 month period would be given to sort out the dispute.

2 days later they sent another e-mail saying how when Axis phoned me to confirm the renewal of contract, I apparently agreed too it, and also that I had agreed to the contract with another team from Axis! (utter rubbish!). I was offered the reduced fine of £190.00 to clear my debt. WOW!

I informed them that I had contacted the Ombudsman for help with their illegal claims for money.

I asked them to not contact me unless they have proof of those calls (there is none!)!

Next day they contacted me to inform me that a copy of the calls were requested from Axis and would be sent to me also.

At the moment I am waiting for that proof.lol I am still waiting to hear from the Ombudsman too. I hope they can help, as I will NOT pay Axis or the debt collectors one penny for [causing problems] me!

 

What gets me is that none of this needed to happen. Also I had no obligation to provide another supplier anyway! It had nothing to do with them! Dear God!!

Oldtaff, follow the advice I gave in post 13 here about following their complaints procedure. It costs the telecoms company for the independent arbitrator to look at the complaint so even if it's only to put the boot on the other foot and make them owe something out, it's worth following the complaints procedure!

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.

@Locotus - Thanks. I will do that. [EDIT], but I will do that by letter it helps.

Another thing I'd like to know is that - When the debt collectors fail to provide me a copy of that 'non existent' agreement phonecall, could I use that in my favour?

Should I also ask Axis (in my complaint letter) to resolve the issue by supplying me with proof of contract also? (In a nice way!).

Thanks.
