    • 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.

Firstly it was giving advice to my friend that got me thinking about my mothers credit card and if she had charges( alzheimers).. which then lead to me thinking hey you have an old one, lets see what you have on that..

 

Luckily I had some of the really old statements and just telephoned them asking for the ones I did not have. They sent them, no request for a fee or anything, mind they did not send them all, the last year is missing.

 

Anyway then sat down and went through every statement, made a list of all the charges for late payment and over the limit fees...then typed them out on a proper template form, sent them off with a very nice letter.

 

If you pay me with the next 14 days I will accept the charges plus interest at the 8% if you do not then I will be charging the rate of 15.9% that you charged me....also did this with the other two's claim...

 

Got the usual response from them, we are right you are wrong and we deny this claim. oh yes this was back in January of this year 2008.... as this is going to be a long story will do it in segments.

after their response it was the letter before action......they do take quite some time to reply.....they have quite a few claims and it takes time to respond.

 

They did respond with the standard proforma letter from the exec office manager.... it is denied that these default sums are unlawful and they are detailed in your terms and conditions and in our customer welcome pack. we are confident that we will win in court...

 

by this time we are at the summer, letters going back and forth about one a month ( on my claim) I was also doing two others at the same time...

 

By the end of the summer decided enough was enough and wrote a very firm letter that if cleared funds were not in my account 123456 by the 30th September then the court claim would be issued without further notice.....

 

Being as reasonable as possible allowed them a further 6 days, submitted my court claim on the 6th October 2008...They had the statutory 14 days to respond, they were very quick and did so within a few days, they were going to defend.

 

This gave them until the 20th November 2008 in which to submit their defence...

 

I phoned the court every day around 3 in the afternoon, just to check and see if they had submitted thier defence, they did not...with your court paperework you get a form that you fill in if they fail to defend.

 

At 9am on the 21st November I arrived at the court and submitted said form. I would like to point out that I did call them making them aware that I had done this and perhaps now might be a good time to settle!

 

No response from them at all, on the 26th November I received a copy of the judgement in the mail, again they were called and made aware that I was in fact physically holding it! and that failure to respond would result in me returning to the court and instigating further action.

 

I called the legal department on the 30th at 9 am, spoke to the lady I have previously spoken too, and informed her that if they had not got back to me by 1pm then they had left me no other alternative but to proceed to the next level which was the bailiffs!!!! the response was to laugh..

 

So I waited patiently, and at 12.30 got into my car and drove into town, sat int he court carpark and waited...I gave them till 1.30 pm at which point I then submitted my application for the baillifs to go in and paid the fee of £55.

I then telephoned her back and made her aware that this had been done and a further £55 had now been added ot the claim and that the matter was being passed to the bailiffs...

 

It is still not to late, if oyu contact me and make payment by bacs then there will beno requirement for the bailiffs to attend.... No response

 

the following morning a letter arrived from her, agreeing to pay, sadly it was not the full amount, the court had awarded me the full amount...

 

I sent off a letter pointing this out and enclosing a copy of the judgement...

 

I also telephoned her and left anothermessage on the ans machine pointing all this out.....sadly no response...

 

On the 2nd December a letter arrived from the court informing me it was now with the bailiffs at Nottingham county court...

 

Again trying ot be as reasonable as possible called letting them know it was now in point of fact in the hands of the baillifs and they would be calling any time for collection, it is still not too late to prevent this... no response

late in the afternoon of the 2nd she did call back and took my bank details and said they would be making a bacs payment and would I now inform the court and the bailiffs that the matter had been settled.

 

When there are cleared funds in my account most definately...I called every working day, reminding them that no payment had been made and it was with the bailiffs and they would attend by the 12th December still no response to letter or phone calls.. so left a message in the afternoon that they were leaving me no alternative and I was now considering media action.

 

After all I have been telling you for some weeks I ahve judgement and it is with the bailiffs and yet you have still failed to pay.. this did get a response.

 

Oh we have paid you by cheque ont he 3rd of December! well thus far it has not arrived, and you ahve had ample notice from me of this fact and thus far have failed to rectify the situtation.

 

She asked me why I thought the media would be interested in such a uninteresting story...perhaps given the current financial climate!! the amount of money being poured into banks and financial institutions by the tax payers!! they might find the bailiffs going in of some interest !!!! ( boy did I get that bit wrong) she just laughed...

On the 16th December I got a telephone call from the court bailiff informing me that they had in fact called at the head office and that they claimed it had been paid, the bailiff was asking me for confirmation of this.

 

I informed them no payment had been made or received and was awaiting clearance...

 

At 9 am on the 17th I conteacted the person whom I had been dealing with and said that I was now contacting the media....that they blatantly told lies to the bailiff, ignored a court order and had behave unreasonably... No response..

 

I emailed BBC Nottingham witht he brief outlineof the story and asked if they would be interested, within 10 mins of sending that email they were on the phone, asking if I would be prepared ot do a radio link up in the morning for the breakfast show....

 

Yes ok was my reply, it is very early, I had to be at the studio for 07.15 so had to leave here about 5.45 am... yeah I know.. but hey it was worth it. the producer said give me 15 mins to confirm everything and I willget back to you.....

 

Hed did and also two other stations wished ot do interviews as well, I phoned Cap One again making them aware that of what was happening, no response.

 

BBC Nottingham contacted them askign them to take part, my understanding is they declined but did issue a statement stating it was an admin error..... they still ahd not contacted me with regards payment.

 

After having done those 3 radios interviews, I was contacted by two other stations... and asked if I would do interviews for them..... yes was my reply.

 

Then BBC breakfast show phoned asking if I would do bit on their show, one at 6.40 and the other at 8.10 ( me thinking it was a telephone link up) leave it with me and I will come back and confirm the slots and times...

 

Also your hotel details!!!! hello hotel? yes we would like you to come to London... oh ok...

 

I phoned Cap One back and suggested they might like to watch the show and gave them the times. well it took all of 5 mins before they were on the phone.... asking for my bank details ( they ones they already had) and would I mind very much cancelling the tv programme as they had no paid!..

 

No I will not, you have claimed you are going ot pay several times and have not, you have had ample notice that the bailiffs are coming in, no the tv slot goes ahead...

would you believe I had more telephone calls from Cap one that afternoon than you could shake a stick at....

 

They had claimed to have made the payment by chaps ( what ever it is) and would I confirm receipt.

 

My response was sorry am on a train heading for london and cannot confirm this at present...

 

When I arrived in london did try and check but their computer system was down so could not...

 

BBC breakfast also invited Cap One to take part in the programme but again they declined and gave a statement..... it was an admin error.

My landline and mobile phone records show the amount of phone calls made to them over the previous 21 days, so in my humble opinion they cannot claim an admin error......

 

They were more than aware of the progress and the status of the claim, so it was not an admin error...

 

Did I think it would take on a life like this when I started it, NO, did I think it would end up on national tv, NO. do I regret it a resounding NO, would I do it again.... hell yes....

 

So to all who are reading this, do not be intimidated by them or the language they use in their letters.....all the help and support you need is on this site....

 

It is this site that gave me the information and help and support and without it would not have won.....

Well done, I might have a similar situation brewing - they don't realise they have ALREADY taken me to court and lost TWICE and want to try again - I've got all the bits ready to take to the court on Wednesday and see an officer there to see what they can do - they seem to think that I won't have to pay a fee as Capital One have breached the earlier Notice of Discontinuance and don't have any new grounds - therefore I can carry out enforcement - which for me will mean certain conditions have to be met... don't want to post them here yet but will do if anything happens on Wednesday.

Will cost them even more.:)
