    • 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

 

well im in a debt management plan with this company no names but u use a c*****s to find the north direction right?

 

so i'm paying off monument each week then last month i get a letter from cabot chasing money

- send it off to my debt management company and then

 

today I get another letter from Cabot - i've been advised to do the usual, just send a copy of my letter off then wait.

 

This letter says that they're now moving on to the next stage of recovery - blah blah!

 

so I ask my debt management people

- who i might add think they're doing jack for me and they reckon i need to just ignore them.

 

BUT NO!!!!!

I'VE HAD ENOUGH!!!!!!!

my next step is to send Cabot a CCa request and an S.A.R to monument

- who are still taking my money and request a copy of my fees!

- this is right isn't it?

 

feel like jacking the debt management plan but no doubt i'm stuck in some clause somewhere!

 

i think will do the same with my other creditors this week too

- can they all get the 'hump' tho ? the ones that i'm already paying and put me right up the creek without a paddle?

 

look forward to all your comments guys! thanks

Hi Becky,

 

Just a thought. I dont know what debt Mgmt company you are using, but in my experience, the things they do (and usually charge for) you can do yourself. Being on this forum is a great start, and there is plenty of help available. I'd be suprised if they have you in a contract too??

 

It maybe wise to consider cancelling this and deal direct with your creditors, following the invaluable advice on here. And your probably right, thery're not doing jack s**t. Mine didnt, they even cost me more in the end.

u know what! thats exactly what i'm thinking !

 

i know i signed something that was like my payment structure or something - i went to them because i was scared to answer the phone- now i've found this site i'm on a mission !!

 

anyone got any ideas how i try to stop them working for me whilst they hand over the ifo as to where there the payments go to ? ie acc nos etc?

 

I owe rbs loads and got a ccj u see so better keep paying them off until i've whipped their a**e lol!!!!!8)

I'd ask for a copy of The DMC's terms and conditions you signed first. Do you pay them a % of your outgoings as admin charges or something along those lines??

 

For a full list of your creditors, i recommend signing up to a CRA (eg experian) (if the DMC will not provide when you decide to leave them, if you decide of course), this will show you who's owed what and where your at with it all, together with addresses etc. then you need to do what your DMC has done and re-contact them detailing you will be handling your finances and start the process again. After SRA and CCA'ing them all first. Thats my advice, but im sure they'll be others along with more to offer.

Yup, first step is to find out what you have signed up to exactly.

 

No point telling them to p*** off only to find them cahsing you later on for money they say you owe.

 

Find out exactly where you stand with them first and take it from there.

 

But as for Monument. Am I reading you right? You were paying them through this DMC, and they STILL sold the account on to Cabot? Or have I missed something?

Im no expert on many issues in this forum, but DMC's I know a little about. I would suggest, prior to sending anything to Cabot and cancelling your DMC, i would ask said DMC for a statement of accounts, detailing the deals they agreed on your behalf, the amounts theyve paid and when and to who. Then I would SAR Monument and see where this debt is and who's been cashing the cheques if its sold to Cabot?

 

Sounds like someone could have been very naughty.

No worries. subscribing is basically registering on a thread (topic) so you can monitor them a lot easier and receive notifications when someone responds to something youve started or watching. Basically :)

 

hope that shines some light

sacg is right. It SOUNDS as if Monument might not have been getting paid, hence selling the debt on. However, irrespective of WHY they sold it on, did they send you a notice of default, or had you already effectively defaulted?

 

And did they send you a letter saying they had sold it on? And did Cabot write to you with a "hello" letter? (The letter they CLAIM is a Notice of assignment.)

thanks both of you

 

the first letter i had off cabot i sent to my dmc

 

from what i can remember was just a letter chasing money didnt say that they were taking over - and monument certainly didn't tell me they'd sold it .

 

my dmc got all my letters - probably had a default notice u know ones that say cut up ur card and go to citizens advice - went to dmc tho cause bank was chasing for shed loads!

 

i had recent letter from cabot which dated 19/7 says 'following Cabots recent purchase of the account you held with monument'

 

scare tactics eh! - but what they don't know is that i've found you clever people :p

I dont want to assume, but it SEEMS that a certain DMC MAY not have been paying Monument correctly, as agreed. In my expreience, when you enter into a voluntary arrangement with a creditor, they agree it too, and are bound by that agreement for a set period at least. It seems funny that Monument would have sold the account on if they were recieving funds from you via the "DMC". Unless you defaulted on the agreement through the DMC.

 

Get the statement of accounts from your DMC and definatley send a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) to Monument.

 

Good luck

i called my dmc and they said in one breath

....oh and cabot have now started to receive the payment .......what!!!!!!!

..........so why the hell didn't i know about this a year ago then?

All a bit confusing and lax if you ask me. :confused:

 

You really need to wait for the statement of accounts from your DMC, this will shine light on who's been paid what and when, then you can organise yourself regarding addressing the debts and to whom you need to be in correspondance with. Until you have this, you dont know whats going on. Nice to hear that they'll do the requests now!!! Are you contracted to your DMC? If not, get the statement of accounts and terminate your relationship. You cant be any worse off.:razz:

 

Who agreed £1 pm payment terms?

 

I would'nt suggest paying out two amounts to Monument and Cabot until this is rectified. You may be admitting liability to both. Not sure on that one, but worth caution.

even they didn't know about the £1 payment terms! in one breath she said they been paying cabot - next she said they aint!

 

she told me to send this letter to her and they'll sort out paying the £1 to cabot - presume wont be paying monument then! - really not sure wether or not to just wait for paying in book now tho!

 

 

have asked for statement of accounts including a copy of the terms and conditions that i signed with them

 

feel a bit trapped by them at mo!

I'd also worry about whether Cabot might be adding interest or any kind of charges to the balance. No point paying them £1 a month, if they keep adding several quid a month on top. You'll NEVER get rid of them.

 

Can they do that> When an agreed payment term has been reached?

O.M.G !

Dont panic! Carry on paying who you have been, then you're not in breach of your initial agreement through the DMC (one hopes, if they had any ;) ). No new payments until you know more, and who the hell is getting what. Have you sent for the statement of accounts from the DMC? I would seriously think about losing the DMC, it appears they aint really helping or addressing situations, hence the Monument / Cabot saga. If it were me, I would get the statement and info from the DMC and go from there. Do you have many creditors being dealt with via the DMC?

Hi

 

Can anyone help ?

 

I know ! I'm kicking myself but I have an old monument debt that I haven't paid for a long time - just under £1500

 

I know I paid lots of charges and had I sent a cca they wouldn't have proof of my signature

 

Now I have a letter from a solicitor threatening that they're going make bankruptcy proceeding against me in 14 days if I don't set up a repayment plan !

 

What should I do ??? Is cca too late ?

 

Thanks everyone x
