    • 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,

I have been trying to open a new business account but as my credit score is so bad all the high street banks have knocked me back. Does anyone know if you can open a business current account with building societies without being credit scored. I obvioulsy dont want to borrow just a place to put money and write cheques#

Thanks

We need a basic account, just for money in, money out, no OD, no chequebook etc.

 

We have tried all the usuals, RBS, Natwest, A&L but no luck :(

For anyone who has no dispute with the RBS group of companies Natwest offer a basic business account called...

The foundation business account, apparently it is guaranteed acceptance and run on the same terms as a personal basic bank account. However I have not applied and do not know what the charges are as I have dispute with them so its pointless.

Alot of caggers are in the same predicament as me so if you have no dispute with natwest and apply and are successful please post back for other caggers.

I had no dispute with RBS group but was refused a foundation account with Natwest, so it definatley isnt guaranteed acceptance.

 

At the time of applying I had a step account with them which was being run satisfactorily.

I should also say that my OH had an account with RBS (being run satisfactorily) and we were also refused RBS's foundation account.

Hi Crockie,

Yes I found out today that the foundation account IS credit scored, so not much use.

Know any other way to get a basic business account?:

 

We are still looking but the lack of business account is now becoming a problem.

 

I have heard that Halifax do a Treasurers account which can be used for ltd companies, however this is a passbook account so no card or dd's.

Crockie,

They dont credit score company directors and thats definite, when I went to see an old friend who works for HSBC he told me that was the way around it. However we are not a limited company so if your are you 'home and hosed' as they say

We have been refused the foundation account, Natwest & RBS as a limited company and they have both done several credit checks on us personally :(

 

We thought that we would have a better chance of getting the business account if we were a ltd co, as we had heard that they cant credit check directors, however this hasn't proven to be the case.

Go to HSBC and see the business advisor there, tell him your predicament and if he/she is okay they will tell you how to open the account as a limited company. My friend told me he could open the account no problem but being a limited company means audited accounts and other changes that would not suit our business.

Hi Steve,

Nationwide and the CO-OP do not do basic 'business' accounts and apparently running a business through a personal account is 'frowned' upon. I have been advised however that the HMRC are not against a business running their financial affairs through a personal account and it is not against the law. However if anyone is considering doing this then they should open a totally separate account for transparency in case they are ever investigated.

The banks do not want business's running their finances through personal accounts has the majority do not charge for putting cash/chqs through which they do on a business account.

Hi Exasperated just seen this thread.

I know of a Foundation account operated by Lloyds.

The criteria is that you dont owe the Lloyds banking group any money,and are not a discharged bankrupt.

I reported that assistance to get one of these can be through inbiz which is an organisation that helps new business start ups.

Well worth also you contacting your local chamber of trade -they can give you info free.Organisations such as these can pull strings with banks and its their business to get people up and running.

 

I will move your thread into the business bank forums.

The pros and cons of using a personal account have been discussed there many times.

Well we are talking of HBOS (Halifax Bank of Scotland) and subsidiary companies such as Black Horse Finance.

I have no doubt that you will get some response in this forum-not just on the account deciding issues-but any other business related question.

Sorry to tell you this is not true, I have all my accounts personal/mortgage/business with HSBC, I tried to open a new business account today (both our current company and new company are LTD and there are 2 directors - the same in each) and I was unable to due to bad personal credit of the directors. We have never had bad credit within any of our HSBC accounts.

Hi Neeta,

I was sat in front of the business advisor in the branch where I live, I had told him my personal details and he told me that it was a waste of time trying to open a partnership account with HSBC. I assure you he told me that they only credit check the company not the directors as they are not liable as its a limited liability arrangement.

However as we are not a limited company I could not proceed down that route, so I cannot vouch for it personally. That said he wanted to open the account as we have an healthy business and everything else he told us was correct so I dont understand why he would give that advice knowing it would be rejected.

Thanks for your input.

How annoying is it that things can be so different then at different branches of the same branch, my business advisor was adamant yesterday that there is nothing she could do, it's all automatic and after she'd put all my details through it was simply a case of 'computer says no' I find myself in a horrendous situation now with the potential of losing a massive contract because I can't open a new business bank account... p.s. wasn't saying you were fibbing was just adding my experience in, came to your thread in a desparate search for a way out of my problem.... am still searching :)

I am in the same position i have signed contracts for my business but i cant open a business bank account anywhere as i have had a CCJ in the last 6 years, it is just so frustrating that no one will even entertain me, the only people who seem to think they can help are on the web who offer a garunteed business account service for a fee but i am reluctant to give money away.

Neeta,

Start a thread everyone is here to help as I want to help you. If the comapny is clean you should be able to open an account.

Try another bank whom the company is not endebted to, preferably one which the directors have no connection.

Surely you will be okay......... any comments from anyone with experience please

Their thousands of people like us who run succesful business but due to personal problems at home find their own financial affairs in ruin.
