    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • 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.

PLEASE READ THIS AND BE WARNED BEFORE YOU HAVE ANY RENDERING DONE ON YOUR HOME.

 

 

In 2008 we employed a firm called renderexterior wallcoatings to reder the gable end of our home. The owner of this firm a MR HARVIL SHAW came to our home looked at the job and quoted us a price of £5000.

 

Initially we were pleased and then after about 18 months cracks started to appear and lumps started to fall off the wall.

 

We contacted Mr SHAW who said he would come and look at the problems.

 

After several letters and phones calls and conversations where MR SHaw blamed firstly a defect in the ANDURA PAINT and then the workman who applied it who was called SHANE (lived in Yorkshire with a big motorbike). MR SHAW wrote us a letter which stated that the work was sub-standard and the wrong materials had been used in the cracked and fallen off areas and he promissed to put things right.

 

We were then given three seperate dates when he work would be corrected but alas they came and went and nothing happened.

 

Despite repeated phone calls to his office and ringing his personal mobile phone number which i managed to obtain, Mr Shaw repeated said he would put things right but also became abusive and used threatening behavoir.

 

I then told Mr Shaw that I would report him to trading standards at his companys address area, which I duly did.

 

They inturn referred me to the legal cover on my home insurance and company house.

Trading standards were aware of this company but would for confidentiality reasons not discuss any further.

 

My home insurance told me that if I paid for a survey which proved that there were faults then they would persue a claim.

 

When I contacted COMPANY HOUSE they referred me to the history of MR HARVIL SHAW who trades as one company goes into liquidation and then starts up again as a different company.He has also been banned as a company director.

 

To date we still have chunks of our rendering missing and cracks on the wall.

MR HARVIL SHAW now has a new company called RENDERSOLUTIONS WALLCOATINGS with the same pictures and a worthless 25 year guarantee just like he gave us.

 

I know this because I have seen him in my home town and the lady who i tried to warn but sadly I was too late called HARVIL SHAW on his MOBILE with the same mobile number that I gave her.

 

PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LOOSE YOUR MONEY AND ALLOW HIS SHODDY WORK TO CAUSE YOU THE DISTRESS HE HAS CAUSED US.

 

Thank you for reading.

I wonder if it is anything to do with these

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?830-Wethertex-Review

 

There is a similar complaint here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?372123-Wall-Rendering-Solutions-watch-out!!!&highlight=Render+exterior

 

Could it be anything to do with this:-

?????

 

That's strange because there is a similar sounding company here - http://www.freeindex.co.uk/profile%28render-exterior-wall-coatings%29_78659.htm

 

but I expect that it is just a coincidence.

I understand that there may now be another wall-rendering company and that Harvil Shaw is involved in it - although not as a director. That bit is being done by someone else.

 

We'll find you more info soon.

 

I'm not sure of the status of the old company

Sadly we have also had dealings with this Mr Shaw.

 

He ran a company called Texacote which rendered my parents house in 2007 or 2008. In 2011 we noticed the render was flaking off and after trying to contact Texacote we realised they had gone into liquidation. I contacted trading standards but they basically said that as we didn't pay by credit card there was nothing we could do.

 

We decided that we had no option but to have it redone! We then found Render Exterior Wallcoatings. It wasn't long before I realised it was the same Mr Shaw who had run Texacote! After I pointed out that it was his company who had rendered the house in the first place he dropped the price to £7500 and promised that that was cost price. Having no choice we went ahead.

 

Just recently the walls have started to flake again. I have not contacted Mr Shaw yet but I have a feeling he will not entertain me!

 

Not sure of the best course of action. Maybe an email to BBC Watchdog? Any suggestions?

Anyone that has had dealings with Mr Shaw will remember the web sites layout showing the systems and prices, the address that is now used is a mail drop in London

I have no doubt that he is behind this new company

 

Yes that's the website

Holy cow, I'm was literally in the process of arranging a date for Harrison Springfield to come and take a deposit before I thought I'd do a spot of research beforehand! Glad I did!!! So is this definitely the same people? I gather I should most definitely stay away. He did go missing from Jan until now but was told he was away. I'm guessing that wasn't true either!

DELTA777, Reading the above thread, and I belive I've seen this "Clown" on TV, Watchdog or Cowboy Builders.

AVOID is the best advice.

I,m a builder with 30 odd years experiance. There is no such thing as "a quick fix" to "cracked/ blown" render.

Hack it off and start again.

If you find a company which offers an insurance-backed guarantee, ask for the policy details and to see the certificate. Then call the insurers to confirm that the insurance is in place and that it applies to you.

 

If there are any problems about this then contact Trading Standards as you are probably dealing with a fraudster.

I hired Mr Abraham Shaw a year ago to do my rendering, same issues that everyone else is having. Rendering is a disaster and it is flaking away. He gave us a 25 year guarantee which is absolutely worthless. I went to the new website that is mentioned in the thread and I found a picture of my house on the site, a before and after picture.

 

 

I will be sending Mr Shaw a letter requesting him to remove the picture immediately.

 

 

It is correct this is definitely an Abraham Shaw, Harvil Shaw, Abraham Jackson (New name) company.

Before you take any action, make sure that you get lots of screenshots of the website.

 

This company is very slippery. Lots of people have started to take some kind of action but no one has followed through.

Would you like to send an email to us at our admin address with some contact details.

 

Once again - no one should ever rely on a building guarantee unless it is insurance backed - AND they have seen the insurance certificate AND they have called the insurer AND confirmed that the insurance exists AND that it applies to them.

 

I am not aware that anyone has ever dealt with Harvil Shaw's companies has ever checked or has been shown or had confirmed the existence of any insurance policy.

I was also concerned when I saw this thread about problems with rendering, as I had paid a deposit to Protective Rendering Systems for thermal insulation and rendering of my property. So I did my research, checked out the validity of the guarantee with the insurance company, checked the quality marks, and then discussed my concerns with Harrison Springfield. I found his responses to be credible, and asked him to continue with the job, (as I was initially tempted to withdraw the contract). The work has just been completed, and the rendering surface is superb. The lads, Don and Jamie have done an excellent job. There were a couple of minor snags that needed rectifying, so I contacted Harrison as soon as these became apparent, (on a Sunday) and plans were put in place immediately to sort them out, and these have now been completed.

 

 

I find the best approach is to do your research, be straight, and tell people what your concerns are, that way issues can be resolved before they turn into problems. I have never had to "chase" Harrison or his colleagues to talk to them, in fact they have had more trouble getting hold of me at times, to advise me of progress and starting dates. I am happy that I chose Protective Rendering Systems,

Well that is very heartening to hear that Harrison has gotten his act together and is able to maintain such a satisfied customer base.

Very pleased to see this posted by such an independent source as well. I am sure that it will give everyone a great sense of confidence.

This is very comforting to know. Being straight is especially important, in my view.

Unfortunately we have had nothing but hassle from Harrison Springfield and Protective Rendering Systems and We would suggest that nobody touches the company regardless of any insurances or assurances. The work that they have completed is at best patchy and certainly no where near a quality job. They did come back to fix a few issues but no only the minimum - unfortunately they have already been paid. Additionally it took over 2 weeks of us chasing for the scaffolders to be paid so that they would remove the scaffolding from our house and now over 3 weeks later they have still not paid for the skip which remains outside of our house.

 

We have had other builders round to look at the work completed who have confirmed that it is a very poor standard at any price let a lone the huge amount that was paid to protective Rendering Systems!!

 

They have ruined our garden which we re now re-turfing as well as cracking a number of paving slabs which will need to be replaced.

 

The garden was left filled with their materials which were never collected and we had to arrange to be removed. and lastly they did not return our house keys despite us asking for them a number of times - they denied that they had them saying they had left them in our house. This is not the case and we have now had to have the locks changed

 

 

PLEASE AVOID!!!!

Did you get any evidence of the insurance policy which supports the lifetime guarantee?

While I respect your opinion, you claim to have checked them out. I can say that they are NOT registered with the Guild of Master Crafstmen and also with the insurance scheme offered, there is no way to check whether PRS are registered. As this company has been going for less than one year, I am not sure how anyone can say too much about them.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

did you look for E.w.i. Rendering Systems Limited as this is their trading name.

 

Hil,

 

I have just done some research myself after reading this intersting thread as I am thinking about using Protective Rendering System and I have found the following:

 

  1. Yes they are registered with guild of master craftsmen. I can't link as I have less than 10 posts. I have also done a research on their website I can't link as I have less than 10 posts. to make sure. I am not sure how easy it’s to be a member though and if companies really get assessed properly(?)
  2. Their insurance is backed guarantee by Home Improvement Protection. Again, the sent me their registration certificate but I can't link as I have less than 10 posts.. I have also called HIP and they have confirmed that E.w.i. Rendering Systems Limited is registered with them. I have asked for an email to be sent to me confirm this in writing.

I can't put the actual links as I have less than 10 posts. who is interesed in the actual links can contact me via email?

Now I was thinking about getting the side of my wall sprayed with their system at a cost of £2875?

What are your thoughts based on the above? It seems that some people had bad experiences and others had good ones?

It appears that what they are claiming to have in palace is all in order?

Thanks for the replay

Thank you very much for this very interesting post.

 

It is very encouraging to have such detailed and positive information from such an independent source.

 

I'm sure we would all be very interested to see the documents that you have so maybe you could email them to us at our admin address and then we will post them up for you.

 

Unfortunately none of this will help the people who have had bad experience with the previous incarnations of Harvill Shaw's rendering companies. For some reason or other those customers have not been able to get evidence of the claimed insurance cover and so therefore they have not been able to invoke the guarantee that was given before each one of those companies went into administration.

 

Please contact us on our admin email address

 

Incidentally, I should add that I know that previous incarnations were linked to the Guild of Master Craftsmen but when I phoned the office of that organisation two or three years ago they were extremely unhelpful and I formed the opinion that they were not really there to be customer-facing.

No documents received. Please try again on our admin email address

 

The Guild offers no protection against companies which go out of business.

The only thing that counts is an insurance backed lifetime guarantee which will stand even on the demise of the company
