    • 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.

Non-reveiwable exclusion to be placed on new pet insurance policy

Morning All,

 

 

I recently applied for a new pet insurance policy for a new dog and after a lot of chasing the company for an answer I have finally received a very poorly worded letter from them advising 'the cover will be limited to accidental external damage only'!

 

 

They then go on to say 'this exclusion is non-reviewable as this condition can affect many systems and is unpredictable'.

 

 

The condition is called Rickettsia and the dog contracted it in Spain as a result of being bitten by a Tick most likely. When the dog came to us we took him to our vet for a full check-up and our vet contacted Defra for some advice. They came back and advised that they were not in the least bit concerned with the condition and as a result our vet advised he is good condition and unless we are concerned by anything he would see us for our next scheduled check-up in approximately 6 months time.

 

 

I am going to contact our vet and ask his opinion on the insurers stance but before I do I was wondering if anyone with any experience in this filed had an opinion please?

 

 

Does anyone think this could be deemed unfair as I fully expected and exclusion to be placed on an issued policy with to Rickettsia and any RELATED condition but not a blanket exclusion for any illness at all?

 

 

Thanks in advance.

I've just googled it (as you do) and PetMD.com has a reasonable description of the disease including the following -

Most dogs recover well with prompt and appropriate therapy. Some dogs clinically recover but the infection is not entirely eradicated, remaining in the body and sometimes returning at a later time

http://www.petmd.com/dog/conditions/infectious-parasitic/c_dg_ehrlichiosis

 

Seems it can be a pretty unpleasant disease in the chronic stage with a wide range of symptoms. What the insurers seem to be saying is that any future illness 'may' be related to this pre-existing condition so they can't provide cover for illness but will for accident.

Thanks Hightail - funnily enough I saw that website as well. It's a difficult one as I get where the insurers are coming from after reading up on the condition however I think they could be a bit more accommodating with regard to the nature of the exclusion. I was up front when applying for the cover and mentioned the condition - not sure where I would stand if applied else where....

I would discuss it with your vet first. You say your dog is having another check up in six months so it could be that there will come a time when a vet can say conclusively this has been completely eradicated from your dog's system. I honestly don't know but maybe two clear PCR tests six months apart would do?? There is a chance that the insurer is working from out of date information which predates the availability of such precise testing.

I spoke to a lady from the insurers who was very nice but to be fair was trying to 'wing it' and she advised that because this condition is so rare in the UK that they do not have enough data to refer to hence the reason for the blanket exclusion - again it appears to be a rather rash decision on their part. Will email my vet with a copy of the letter and see what he thinks.

 

Thanks for your input , much appreciated :)

I emailed a copy of the letter to my vet and he kindly came back and advised that he thinks that their exclusion is very wide ranging. He also went on to say that there was no evidence that the dog has had or currently has any clinical Rickettsial disease - just that he had been exposed to it at some point before we got him. Based on this I sent a lengthy email to the Insurer and they said they would look into my 'complaint' and come back to me - will see what happens.

But it is a risk and the insurance company are not prepared to accept that risk. That's their choice. Have you tried another insurance company?

 

You may find they change their mind on the back of the complaint, but its very unlikely. I would check a few other companies and get some quotes.

Fair point regarding risk and their choice - I understand that. I have managed to get some other quotes however the level of cover is not as good. Suppose its weighing up whether the level of cover needs to be that good I guess as he may never need to have treatment for anything - may go through life as 'fit as a butchers' dog' as they say or he may be a sickly dog (hope not obviously).

 

 

I would expect an exclusion for the condition itself and anything related - to place a blanket exclusion for all illnesses though is a bit much for them to justify in my opinion without sound evidence to back up that decision. The FCA do bang on about 'TCF' and all that but in practice...

 

 

I guess I am being a bit stubborn about this as I was annoyed at how long they took to come to a decision.

Which company is it with the blanket exclusion on illness? I think on balance I'd rather go for the limited accident cover with a good company than supposedly having illness cover with one which doesn't have a great reputation for paying out. The really expensive urgent things tend to be broken bones from accidents, long term illness is something you can make more measured decisions about. The upside of the accident only cover is that there's no need to take out a lifetime policy so premiums will be cheaper.

It is Sainsbury's which is underwritten by Allianz.

 

You make a good argument to be fair and I am grateful for your input. Will wait and see what they come back with but will keep in mind what you have said - thank you. :)

Kind of you to say so. I don't think there's a right answer, just making the best of a very unusual situation. Whoever you choose to insure with it's important you check they aren't charging a full premium if they aren't giving you full cover. Do an online quote with a few of the bigger names without any pre-existing condition to get an idea of the premiums for complete cover. Treatment for accidents is often very costly but I'll bet most payouts are for illness and your premiums should reflect this.
