    • 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.

Had a credit card with monument from 2003,

i had a change of personal circumstances in 2005 and couldn't afford it anymore,

 

cabot soon took over, and have been resilient in there pursuit of me,

 

i firstly agreed to pay, £70 a montfh,

they kept phoned and asking for me,

 

2007 i changed jobs to a better paid one and up it to £80,

 

they then changed the direct debit and up'd it by £8 to £88 a month without telling me,

so i put in an indemnity claim under the DD gurantee, which they never disputed.

 

i then SAR'd Monument, included the card number and my old address where i took the card out,

they sent a reply back stating 'there are no accounts for the named customer at the address provided.'

 

so i CCA'd CAbot and they lo-and behold, found t&c's and a 'reply card' that i've filled in with my details and a signature (although a poor copy)

and it looks like they've overwritten the pen to emphasise, so it looks like a 5 yr old has filled it in and signed it)

and a letter, of course stating that now we've done our bit, pay up!

 

i made a payment in January of 2011,

i get a response stating ' thank you for your recent payment, however, there is no agreed repayment plan currently in place, so i haven't bothered.

 

they've been phoning me for the past 11 months.

 

i spoke to them once and said 'stop phoning me and put everytihng in writing.

 

which they haven't bothered to until i receive an email today!

(yes they've had my email address for years!!)

 

and it states - accoriding to our records you currently owe £xxxx.xx (which is double what it was in January!?!)

even though we have made repeated attempts to obtain commitment to repay this debt.

it's now vital to blah blah blah if you don't contact us blah blah we will have to move your accounts to the next stage of our collections process.

 

So not only have they decided to contact me by email

- they doubled the amount owed, even though they haven't informed of assignment of the debt,

they never informed me that was incurring interest,

and i'm baffled as they told me in January there isn't an agreed repayment plan in place.

 

Any suggestions?

 

the CCA they sent me contained about 10 pages, with no letters of assignment

just a basic T&C's and a page and a half of computer printout with payments on.

 

Let me what i can do with these idiots, they don't seem to know there a*rse from there elbows!

 

Merry Christmas all! :)

yeah there was an extended period of 'no contact' don't know if it was 6 years, but considering Monument can't find anything with my name on, and cabot dug out a flimsy T&C's photocopy, and the fact there is absolutely nothing on my credit file relating to this debt, then that is fine!, just annoyed at the 2+ phone calls i'm getting on my mobile everyday, they're even starting to use the local West Malling number in another act of desperation HA!!

 

i went to monument for a claim for late fees and others and got back nearly £650 that was last year. might see what i can do with this. As for statements, Cabot have never bothered, and i don't know how many i still have from Monument, i'll have to go in the loft and dig 'em out!

 

Merry christmas to you, and all caggers! :)

Quick update as it's been many months

- i still get 2 calls a day from all 5 of cabots numbers (yes the log on my phone has so far recorded 5 different numbers)

 

i told them ages ago, i'm only dealing with them by letter

- see my previous posts as to whats happened thus far

 

- well today i receive a letter from FIRE (ooooOOOOHH) considering these are one in the same, it's still cabot.

 

They (Cabot or Monument) still do not feature anywhere on my credit file apart from 2 previous searches.

but no agreements

 

- do i send FIRE a prove it letter

 

- what do i do now?

 

as i've said previously it's all a bit flimsy, but this is the first time they've 'ahem' escalated things (if you can call it that and not just sending it to a different desk!)

If they've not taken you to court in all the years they have this then they know they have a lead weight in a swimming pool, it just aint gonna float in court.

 

Personally I'd just file under "Ignore till something better comes along" :lol:

 

Might want to change your mobile number tho and not give it to any financial institution's :)

New update

- it's been sooooo loooong....and i kept getting phone calls every day, until December

 

- Quantam were passed this 'debt'

 

- Quantam have enjoyed putting there technology to work on my mobile,

and can't even be bothered to speak to me with a human!!

 

get a corny american voice message asking me to call them

- when i ignored this i get a letter from Wright Hassell (yes they are!! :) ) threatening to get my credit file

- (Go on then...there's nothing on relating to the debt, to Cabot or anything, i checked last week).

Got to laugh at these numpties, they have taken to phoning me now.

 

Shall i let this slide.

....they've got nothing

- there's nothing on my credit file, no defaults or CCJ's

- any advice would be welcome

- just to ease my curiosity more than anything

 

Thanks Caggers!!

NEW UPDATE!

 

 

today i got a phone call from Wright Hassell Solictors - i picked it up stupidly as i'm awaiting a call about a job,

woman says they've been trying to contact me, regarding Cabot,

i says to her prove it, go back to Cabot and ask them for proof, as i've just read what i previously posted,

there's no agreement set up, and i still don't see them on my credit report (which apparently is 28 points off a 'good' score, which i've nvever had before )

 

 

they'll come back empty handed, and i'm just wondering what they'll try and pull next,

 

 

i've asked this woman from WH to put everything in writing and she's going to email their 'first' letter,

 

 

but Cabot have always had my email address and sent one threat-o-gram waaaaay back in 2011 - me thinks Crapbot, and Wright Hussle,

have their fishing rods out again! let me know your thoughts!

why would someone from a firm of solicitors phone rather than write?

 

just say that you don't discuss financial & legal things over the phone ask for whatever they want to say in writing

They've apparently been writing to an old address, but i've made no secret of where i am now, i'm on the Electoral Roll at my new place, and the published one at that! i've asked that everything be put in writing - and given them an email address......
