    • 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.

In 2005 I took out a loan with my old bankers RBOS. My payments were £303.00 per month and I never missed a payment.

In September 2005 the RBOS decided to call in my £1500 overdraft without telling me. Not a phone call or letter nothing, I only found out by accident and this left me in a bit of a predicament.

Now like a lot of people, rightly or wrongly I did use all of the facility most of the time. My salary went in leaving me with no funds to make all of my outgoings.

I opened another account with Barclays and had my salary paid into there the following month and over the next three months I got straight with all of my creditors. I was never more than 2 months behind with anything and most of my creditors were fine with this.

As I had moved away from RBOS I still had a debt to pay them and came to an arrangement to pay £303.00 per month. This was exactly the same as my original monthly loan payment amount.

 

Things have been fine except that they ring me every 6 months to ask if I can pay anymore off and I always say no £300 is my limit. The calls are quite threatening and last time they said if I don’t come up with a lump sum then next time they will probably take my house off me.

 

On the 6th October (the next 6 monthly call) I received a call saying that my payment was late, I tried to explain that it had been sent and that it would be with them the next day or day after at the latest (which it was) it was due on the 6th but sometimes they can be up to 3 days late – that I do hold my hands up to.

The person just kept raising their voice saying it was not good enough. I ended up putting the phone down as I was so upset.

 

The next thing I receive is a letter from the RBOS solicitors saying I have to pay the amount in full approx £18k or they will take me to court.

I had numerous conversations with them saying I was sure I hadn’t missed a payment but to no avail. A County Court Claim arrived on the 8th November. I have already registered an Acknowledgement of Service as I want 28 days to prepare a defence.

 

I am present trying to find and obtain copies of all of my bank statements for at least the last 18 months as it was in March 2006 that they finally got round to issuing me a letter agreeing to the repayments of 300.00 per month.

I am 99% sure I have not missed a payment, the only possible shadow of doubt could be over this July’s as my Dad died in May, my Nan died in June, and I moved house in July – a period of extreme stress as you can imagine. I am waiting on a copy bank statement at the moment.

 

However if I count all the payments I have made from March to the current date I think it will show as 20 payments for 20 months. Their discrepancy seems to be the date the payment they say is due and the day I make the payment, sometimes this can cross over into another month.

I do not feel however that a CCJ should be issued for repayment of the full amount over what appears to be a technicality. I don’t have it anyway.

 

I gather that I should file a defence online which will then go back to them for them to decide whether to continue with the hearing or back down and go back to the payment arrangement that we agreed.

How should I file my defence do you think, just as I have here or do you have any other advice?

 

Many thanks in advance I am really worried by this.

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION UNDER THE CIVIL PROCEDURE RULES.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I have received the Court claim filed by your Company. To enable me to file a defence and counter-claim, I require specific information regarding the account to be provided forthwith. Given that this matter is now the subject of legal proceedings, you are obliged to disclose under the Civil Procedure Rules, the information and documents detailed below. This letter supersedes the Data Protection request made to on the **DATE**. The information must be furnished by the **DATE**, which gives you ten days to provide what has been requested. If you fail to comply, this will be reported to the Court, a copy of this letter will be provided as evidence to the same and an Order enforcing your compliance will be sought.

 

1. A true copy of the executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. All records you hold on me relevant to this case, including but not limited to:

a. A transcript of all transactions, including charges, fees, interest, repayments and payments and both the original amount of the loan and any repayments made to it the account.

b. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations

c. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with **CREDITOR**.

d. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

e. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

f. Details of any collection charge added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

g. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

h. A genuine copy of any deed of assignment, or proof that you have a legal right to this money.

i. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

j. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

 

3. Any other documents you seek to rely on in court.

4. A copy of your complaints procedure, as required by the Consumer Credit Act 2006.

5. Clarification of the date you acquired the debt, what organisation you acquired it from, their registered office, their company number (if any) and what legal title they had to this debt, and what credit license number they had at the time that the debt was purchased or entered into.

 

I will require this information within the next ten days. I must advise you that if the information is not forthcoming, it will be reported to the Court that you are trying to frustrate proceedings and denying me the opportunity to file a defence and counter claim.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I await your rapid response.

 

Yours Faithfully,

 

Edit as needed.

 

As this is now a court matter you are allowed access to all the documents that they will be using in court.

 

Could you please post a copy of their POC so that we can formulate a defence for you.

Be VERY careful whose advice you listen too

Hi Julia,

 

I'm so sorry to hear about the stress you're having with RBoS, especially as you've already had such a difficult year.

 

Before we can help you further, could I ask if you have any outstanding penalty charges that you haven't reclaimed from this old account please? E.g., unarranged borrowing fees, unpaid direct debits, etc.

 

Also, do you have any further details of the original loan that you took out? E.g., actual amount borrowed, secured/unsecured, no. of years you took the loan out over, the approx. amount you've already repaid.

 

Hopefully, once we have a little more info we should be able to help you further with your defence. x :)

Hi guys,

 

Gosh I feel better already thank you!

I have sent off the requst for information already and sent it by Special delivery so they can't say they didn't receive it.

 

The POC are;

D (me) failed to pay the sums due to C (them) when demanded and the sums that remain outstanding under the respective accounts are listed below

£22528.40

-£4342.06 (my current account in credit where I make the monthly payments)

In addition C claims interest etc etc.

 

I haven't reclaimed any penalty charges as yet for additonal fees that they may or may not have added.

The original loan was for £19,500 but although I have the agreement in front of me it's not dated. It was unsecured and with the £6005.76 at 8.3% interest the total amount came to £25,505.86. It was 84 monthly repayments of 303.64.

I can't confirm at the mo exactly how much I've paid off without knowing the start date of the agreement. I guess I shall find that out when I recive copiues of eveything from them.

If you need anything else fro me in the meantime please do let me know.

Thanks a million times over

What's going to be your next step?!:)

Well I'm SERIOUSLY looking at the agreement trying to find a loophole.

 

however the PPI was misold and I had complained about it previously. So I have put the account into dispute, and am asking them for the usual CCA stuff, then I'll further delay and ask them for the DPA stuff, in the meantime I'll start with the PPI by issuing an n1.

 

Oh and Ive just found out theyve cancelled my OD as well and want it back....muppets. Well the charges on the account more than outweigh the OD itself and I have told them as much. and am in the process of iniating a claim for that tooo. yes I know all about the test case and stays etc, but it didnt stop them putting charges on did it ?

 

I'm gunning for them now

 

Dave

that should keep them busy for a while...:)

Hello again,

 

I just wanted to find out what should be my next step. My defence has to be in by next Wednesday the 5th. I have no response as yet from RBOS to the request for information to them and their 10 days expires tomorrow.

If I don't receive it, how should I word my defence as I clearly can't do anything without the full data?

If I do receive it I guess that is a different matter but I am inclined to think I am not going to get what I have asked for.

Can I go back to court and say I can't defend because they are not co-operating? What do you think?

I am still v stressed about this - thanks for being there!

Hello again,

 

Ok - I received a response from RBOS solicitors with regard to my request under Civil procedure Rules for all of my data. All they have sent me is the balance outstanding!

They then state that under the Civil Procedure Rules that they feel that I have sufficient information to decide whether to file a defence or not. Also they state "with regards to full disclosure this will be dealt with under CPR Rule 31 in due course if and when a defence is filed"

 

They're tying me up in knots and I have to get something into court by next Weds as my 28 days is up...

 

I don't know what to do next.

Thanks for the prompt reply - would you have any suggestion as to how I word my defence now to include the fact that I don't have what I need to defend myself?:(

The bottom line is that I totally dispute that I am in default with them but without a full disclosure I can't prove this and they won't give it to me....aaaaggghhhhhhh!

Dont worry,help is at hand

 

We can come up with a defence for you to hold them until they disclose the requested documents, then we will obviously have to look at the documents,if any, they supply to see what they have

just a thought but, if you have a copy of the original agreement is there any chance you could post a copy of it, removing all the personal details first, it would give us a good idea of what they are likely to produce should they actually produce any thing

 

it may be that the document is unenforcable in its own right

Sorry you must think I'm a right worry wart! I will remove the account numbers no problem.

I have a copy of the agreement here - shall I fax it over or should I scan it and then send it as an email attachment?

Thank you for your continued patience.....
