    • 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.

Hi, Just got my decision from DWP and they will pay me 85.81 because they will be taking away 26.74 out of 112.55

Why are they doing this? the letter says it could be because of other:

- social security benefits (well I`m in receipt of WTC and CHTC, I will have to stop WTC, and I`m getting HB - now it will cover all my rent as I`m unemployed).

- earnings (I have no earnings coming in now)

- savings over 6000 (at the time of making a claim I had about 2300 in bank accounts and 1500 at home)

- other money coming in (there is nothing else coming in apart from benefits)

 

did they made an error or did I missed something?

is it worth appealing?

how much should I be getting?

are they taking into account money that used to come in to my account from the job I was doing? there was no money withdraws from my account in lump sums for several months so they can`t say I did hide the money somewhere.

Please give me advice as I`m thinking about appealing their decision.

thanks

did they check it themselves as they did`t ask me for any letters from HMRC.

And another think is I was one week on JSA IB last year I had the same circumstances as now (I was getting the same befits) and there was no deductions.

Yes they usually have access to central database of what your getting.

I had similar issue when I claimed esa as had just left work and was getting wtc but it had been lowered a lot since claiming an they deducted higher amount :(

If it is WTC then the deductions should stop when WTC payment stops, and you'll get full JSA. Check that the amount being deducted is the same as your weekly WTC, and call them to query if there's a discrepancy.

 

They have access to a database called CIS (Customer Information System) but it can be slow to update, leading to situations like the one mentioned by 2ltr16valve.

HMRC is paying me 26.77 every 4 weeks and DWP is taking away 26.74 every week.

do you think that could be the case but someone does`t know how to use the calculator ?

it`s like tesco employers :) I bought 6 bottles of coke on a deal 2 for £2.50 a the till deal was different it was 3 for £5 so I went to customer service as I was overcharged £2.50, women behind the counter was about to give me back over £8, where do they take this people from?

Well, it's more likely in a case like this that the figure the processor used was entered automatically by the JSA payment computer. So even if the processor noticed it was a few pence out, well, they could spend the afternoon chasing around trying to find out what was going on, or they could say "heck, it's only 3p a week and I've got 25 more claims to do before 5pm. Onwards and upwards!"

its not 3p as HMRC pays me 26 every 4 weeks and DWP is docking 26 every week. so I`m 75 worst every 4 weeks :(

I would`t worry if it was 3 p :)

Right, I see. It sounds like someone has taken entered it for the wrong period - perhaps miskeying it as weekly figure instead of four weekly. It happens. In which case it's definitely time to complain - they should fix the error and repay anything taken that shouldn't have been. Or if it's not related to WTC, they need to tell you specifically what it is.

thanks for your advice. I will complain asap. Is there a way to send it by fax? As I could do it for free without need of printer and postage. Otherwise it will cost me money again :( I know its not much but still something that I rather spend on kids than on postage :)

Hang on a sec - If you are claiming JSA, how are you getting Working Tax Credits ?

Surely WTC is paid when you are in (low paid) work ?

Unless it has changed, there is a four week run-on for WTC after you finish work. This counts as income for JSA(IB).

I'm not really sure if processing offices will accept claimant enquiries by fax. If you're close to a Jobcentre you could drop in and ask them - you'd need to get the relevant fax number in any case. You could always use the phones in the Jobcentre. It's likely that the call centre agent who answers your call won't be able to handle a case like this there and then, so they'll probably refer it onwards for a callback from the processing team.

... so I went to customer service as I was overcharged £2.50, women behind the counter was about to give me back over £8, where do they take this people from?

The confusion might be to do with Tesco having had a policy where, if you were overcharged charged at the till, they refunded double the overpayment plus gave you the goods.

even if that was the case it would`t work out as Tesco employer did it.
