    • 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.

I live in London and my current account mortgage (CAM) is domiciled in Glasgow Scotland.

 

Does this make any diference?

 

Can I proceed as per outline in this site?

 

By the way. I thought that I may have had one or two charges over the years, not worth the effort - but I decided to have a look anyway. I was stunned when the total exceeded £2000.00.

 

I guess I have been complacent in allowing this to happen, but I intend to claim ....AND .... donate 5% to the site originators.

Yes, unfortunately the Scottish Courts have a much lower figure for their small claims equivalent.

 

However, as stated above, you can stick to English amounts....

 

 

Best of luck

If the bank have already responded, denying a refund, to your first letter then just sent the LBA immediately. You don't want to wait for your money do you?

 

Also remember to add contractual interest.

I have followed the procedures to the letter. RBS has entered a defence. I have received from Corbets (their solicitor) and extensive document asking very detailed and in some instances in my view almost impossible questions for me to answer. I have 10 days to respond.

 

Has anyone reach this point that could help?

 

The document is nine pages, bit too much to reproduce here ... and the questions range from ..

 

The one that worries me is ..

 

2.3 In relation to each charge please clarify 9A) is it the case of the claimant that same should not have been charged? (b) if yes: please explain why the claimant contends that the same should not have been charged? © If no; is it the case that of the claimant that the same should not have been charged in this amount? (if yes: please explain why the claimant contends that the same should not have been charged in the amount identified the sum the claimant contends should have been charged. (e) if no; please state the claimant's case.

it seems like a trap.

 

"In your claim you state that the banks charges are a disproportionate penalty and therefore unenforceable as they are contrary to common law

"

4.1 Please specify the clause pursuant to which the charges were applied

4.2 Please specify whether the charges applied were due to breach of contract by the claimant

 

4.3 Please identify in each case the particular breach of contract(by reference to appropriate term of the contract that the charge related to.

 

I am not sure what they are asking here. Are they asking for me to show where I breached the terms of the contract with RBS?

OR are they asking where the common law terms were breached?

 

Clause 6 asks "Please specify the facts relied on by the claimant in support of the contentions and in particular please identify the contractual provisions the claimant alleges by reference to UCTA/the regulations.

 

 

There is heaps more .... pages of legalese ..........................

I understand that all this is probably a smoke screen to test my resolve but I am concerned that in some of the questions I could shoot my self in the foot.

If anyone has experience this far would they kindly contact me and offer advice.

You've been stung by the classic "CPR Part 18 Request" from Cobbetts. Rather than me going into this in detail here - it's been discussed frequently on other threads - try a search on "Part 18" and see what you come up with. The general consensus is that if your claim is under £5,000 and likely to be allocated to the small claims track, you are under no obligation to answer these Requests in full. Rather than not answering them at all, you should fire off a letter to Cobbetts - some threads have suggested templates of letters.

Have now completed the Allocation questionaire 149 (Small claims) .... It came with a notice of transfer to the closest court to me (Woolwich) which is good news, just in case.

 

I have also replied to Cobbetts giving them the basics od account number and complete schedule of my claim. I did not respond to the CPR part 18 request.

 

See what happen next. The costs are now up to £220.00 so when they do settle they have gone backwards by this amount and Cobbetts cost. Strange how sometimes they settle and others they make you jump through the hoops. Seems they test the water every now and again to see how serious some people are.

 

I must state I did panic when the CPR part 18 arrived and I would like to thank those that help, advised and supported.

Well, time marches on. Settlement offer received and rejected. I have reached the point now where I would really like to take them on in court because I am confident that I could make an educated and coherent argument for my position. I have worked out that my maximum over limit was £250.00. So if they had not taken the first 5 charges I would never have gone over limit later in the account history. The reality is that 95% of the charges were made because of 5% of the charges having an effect on my account. I was tempted to ask them for more to settle but thought better of it and would be happy to get my money back.:)

Well I have now recieved the Notice of allocation. Set for the Woolwich court for March 2007. Just a wait now, it is going to be a long 4 months. If any further offer is to be made I think it will be at the eleventh hour, as this seems to be Cobbets methods.

 

Interesting notes.

Judge Backhouse in reviewing the papers issued the following directions:

"(1) CPR18 does not apply to small claims. The court nothing that the Claimant has provided to the defendant his account details and a schedule of charges claimed, the court does not think it appropiate to order the Claimant to provide futher information(CPR 27.2(3)). The Claimant is not obliged to answer the defendant's request for Further Information dates 18 October 2006".

 

As you will note from ealier posts I did not answer and return the CPR18 because of advice recieved from the site.
