    • 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.

Well there is no JSA to sanction as its now closed, I dont believe a new ESA claim would be sanctioned as the JSA agreement doesnt apply to ESA?

 

thanks, he still hasn't put in a claim for ESA yet as he couldn't get an appointment with his doctor till this friday. i didn't think he had an agreement if you are on ESA :/

tI didn't think he had an agreement if you are on ESA :/

 

A different set of rules apply for ESA claimants. You are correct in thinking that the JSAg does not apply. However, (I'm pretty sure) he will still have to attend mandatory Work Programme appointments unless he gets put in to the support group (unlikely).

 

But as his JSA claim is now closed and he has yet to apply for ESA, no benefit doubts or sanctions could be imposed for missing today's appointment - I assume he has notified the "adviser" at Ingeus that he is no longer claiming. If he hasn't, they would still go through the motions even if it is a pointless exercise on their part.

he told his advisor via email that he had canceled his JSA claim and won't be attending the appointment, he hasn't heard anything back from them. his has not yet applied for ESA so does that mean he's no longer considered as been on the WP? also i don't understand ESA so im guessing he'll be put in WRAG :/

Mr P is right, he will still be on the WP.

 

I have no idea what the WP will do to your friend whilst he is on ESA assessment rate, can people on ESA assessment rate be sanctioned is the question?

 

how can somebody be sanctioned on a claim they haven't even made yet? the jobcentre asked if he would be going onto ESA and he replied yes but he hasn't called them to make the claim or filled out the form and sent it off to apply yet.

i friend received a 'good reason' letter today because he did not attend an appointment with his advisor on 25th February, he canceled his JSA claim on the 24th so basically this letter been sent is a waste of time as he currently has no claim running to sanction..or will be be sanctioned if he makes another claim? :/

He should fill in and return the "good reason" letter within the next day or two and simply state:

My claim for JSA was closed on the 24th Feb. As a consequence, there was no mandatory, legal, or moral obligation to attend the appointment with Ingeus on the 25th Feb.Please confirm that this vexatious benefit doubt is rejected and removed from your files at the earliest opportunity.
The DWP may respond with "we will keep this doubt on file for months", but hopefully your friend's response will also be noted.Would suggest he keeps a copy of the letter he sends - I'd also suggest he hands it in to his local (ex)JCP office and get a reciept for it.

A sanction cannot be applied in respect of a day where no claim was made. He closed his JSA on 24th and has not yet made an ESA claim. So, probably best if he starts his claim from the 26th or later, and as Mr P suggests write to the DWP and keep a copy of all letters sent and received in case there is a problem in the future.

I don't think so, no, but it's a slightly unusual situation - that's why it's best to keep a paper trail.

mr friend received a text from the jobcentre saying 'we have received your claim to ESA. we will contact you with a decision. you do not need to contact us.' he wants to know if its possible he will be refused ESA?

If he has a med cert he should not be refused ESA in the first instance. After a couple of months he will be referred for an Atos medical and that's where the problems could start. But to start with he should be OK.

 

Edit to add - the only exception to this is if the med cert specifies something that the DWP does not recognise as an "incapacity". This isn't usually an issue - things like depression and anxiety are fine. The most common things I used to see on certs that I couldn't accept were "pregnancy" and "bereavement". You haven't mentioned him being bereaved and I'm guessing he's not pregnant.

yes his claim had a sick note from his doctor with it, he also sent them a P45 he got for closing his JSA claim although im not sure if that was needed :/

 

no he has been bereaved lately and as far as i know he's not pregnant lol

No harm in sending the P45 - it shouldn't be needed to process the claim, but hell, better to send more information than is needed.

Not sure - didn't do that when I worked there. I suspect it means that the claim has been received but not actually processed.

refusal/failure to apply for, or accept if offered, a suitable job without good reason can result in 13 weeks sanction. is that if the job centre offer u a letter with a job on it to apply for ? and not training course as my adviser sayed they dont sanction u for not taking the job only way i would get sanction as if the job centre offered me a letter with a job on to apply for.

Yes - if you're "matched" to a job by a JSA adviser then you can be sanctioned if you don't apply. You could also be sanctioned if you don't attend training courses you're referred to by the Jobcentre. If you're on the Work Programme, the Jobcentre won't refer you for courses but your WP provider might.
