    • 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.

Yes ladies and gents, it's our good friends at minicredit again!

 

Stupidly, I have 5 PDL's, and have managed to get an agreement for a repayment plan on Txtloan's and 1monthloan's so far. Sent several emails to CF1 and WDA, WDA want my last month's bank statement.. rather not..

 

Anyway, to the point. I borrowed "£100" from them (turned out to be £80.50.. sound familiar), rolled it over twice at a cost of £34 a time plus a ridiculous £5.50 fee until my card was blocked by my bank as these people have been trying to raid my account daily. They whacked £25 on top and the block couldn't be lifted until I could get to a branch on the Monday, which whacked another £55 on top plus 4 attempted payments at £3 a time. All in all, 4 days cost me an extra £92. I offered them a suitable repayment plan which was flat out refused. The balance is now £525 and it's beyond silly.

 

I really can't afford to settle it in 1 swipe, it'd basically cripple me. Just had a bizarre car accident involving a flying brick which destroyed my radiator and air con unit for £540 and when I finally got home I had a bill for £757 from my MOT.. brilliant. What on earth do I do? I've requested all payments made to them (which I believe is £33+£5.50, £33+£5.50 and £35 they helped themselves to, totals £112) but they've not replied to any email I've sent. Phoning them is a waste of time too.

 

Where do I go with this next? :)

 

TIA

Id be carefull with Capital Finance One - They emptied my bank account while i was trying to set up a repayment plan with them, they told me to go onto there new website www.paycfo.co.uk and set up a payment plan there, i did that and they got my card details and cleared the lot!! if they tell you to go on that website DONT!!!!!

 

As for MiniCredit ive yet to hear anyone who has set up a plan with them, i havent managed to do it, all they keep saying is i can make part payment or full payment via the website.

 

Can i ask did you set up your repayment plan with 1 month loan via email or phone?

You only are legally liable for the original loan amount and one months interest - NOTHING MORE.

 

They cannot charge failed attempts to raid your bank and each one of these attempts MUST be reported to the following

 

http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk

http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk (for the Office of Fair Trading, remind them they have told off Payday loan companies for raiding peoples bank accounts and sanctioned a couple of companies already)

 

If you don't complain you are wasting your time posting here.

Hi guys,

 

In the same kinda boat myself with CFO. I stupidly ended up with 5 PDL's but have arrangements on 4 of them, CFO are so difficult. First "defaulted" on this in August '11 (took out the £350 loan in June '11, made 2 x £87.50 payments) - emailed them twice asking to set up a repayment plan with no reply. Sent a letter asking the same, no reply. I got a letter in October '11 saying my balance was £792.50 and I had to make a minmum payment of £442.50 until my next payday (dream on..). Sent another email saying it was too steep and I want to repay it, just not that much in one go! Again, no reply. In November '11 I had 2 text messages from "Mr.Marsden" from McCall Repo saying I had to call them or face legal action, of course I didn't ring them as I refuse to deal with them on the phone and I've not heard anything since.

 

3 months of no contact from CFO - no texts, no calls, no emails, no letters. I've tried to sort it but they're ignoring me. I have no idea what my balance is, who the debt is with, what their plan of action is.. what the hell do I do? I want to get my debts sorted and paid off but they don't seem to want the money..

Dear azzadle

 

I am in the same position as you but I havent heard from them since last June when they took £75 [EDIT] from an account I had only had opened for a week. When I took out the loan with them I banked with Barclays this new account was with Lloyds TSB so still dont know how they managed to get the debit card details. When I emailed them on the address that I had done several times before telling them I would be reporting them to the police [EDIT] the email came back as not recognized I havent heard a thing from them since not even from this MT Collect or anyone else that people have mentioned on this site.

Freakishly enough I had a call from MT Collect just now. I'm shaking with both fear and anger - offered to make a repayment plan but they demanded £100 or they're "kicking the doors in" tonight and taking £905 worth of stuff, they have "drivers" out and about and will visit me in the next hour apparently. My parents dont know about this mess, I've made an offer and got laughed at. I know they need to make a prior arrangement or I can tell them to get lost and to take goods they have to go through the court but they were so so aggressive. Please help ASAP!

No one will call at your adress, phone them back and tell them you have phoned the police to report the threat, and thats exactly what I would do, they cant just turn up and 'kick the door in' its just an empty threat

Emailed them last night about their disgusting behaviour and that it's going to be reported to the OFT etc and they came cowering back apologising and offering me to pay it back at £50/month which I kindly told them to stick as even that's too much.

 

Best bit was I emailed [email protected] and their first reply was "good morning, this is being dealt with MT Collect and I will pass it to them.." and the next email came from Mt Collect 2 minutes later. Probably the same guy :-x

What you need to do is find out when the transactions were and get them notarized by your bank. Should ANYONE try taking you to court or try to get you to pay it back and say you havent, you will have proof, corroborated by a senior bank representative. This is enough for any judge not to second guess it.

The BCCA is just a group that CFO belong(ed) to. Can you find the link from the sun. I can't seem to spot it

 

What does it do for you. Nothing! They just cannot show BCCAs logo on any of the websites that CFO have going
