    • 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 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.

Got a problem with MINT credit card (RBS).

 

I have had the card for about 7 or 8 years now.

When I first applied for it on the internet and was approved,

I never used it very much.

 

My husband also had a card as a second card holder.

He ran into serious credit card debt problems and in a desperate attempt before finally going under, he transferred just under £6000.- onto this MINT card as a balance transfer.

He then went bankrupt and had his debts basically written off.

 

I am however now landed with £6000 on this MINT card for which I am liable I have been told.

 

I came to an agreement with MINT to repay the amount at £26.- per month until the balance is repaid.

They stopped interest and charges and refunded all charges they ever levied.

 

This agreement has been in place since 2006 and I have got the written agreement from them in letter form to confirm the £26 per month until the amount is repaid.

Currently the oustanding balance is £5216.03

 

Now two months ago they sent me a letter to say the 'temporary agreement' on my account was due to be reviewed and my new monthly payment was £144.-

 

I sent them a letter back explaining that the agreement was never temporary but permanent and sent them a copy of their own letter dated 2006.

I sent that recorded and they received it.

I heard nothing in reply.

 

Today I got a new bill showing my minimum payment as £2379.- per month and the footnote that I had failed to make a minimum payment.

 

I have maintained my £26 / month religiously since 2006, I assume they are referring to the £144.- they imposed last month

 

I have written them another letter back explaining the situation, but is there anything else I can do ?

marvellous they always get greedy in the end.

..you could send for your agreement and we will advise on enforceability..

..the letter templates for this are in the library on this site..

 

..if the agreement is unenforceable then theoretically you could start to withhold payment.

..this may give you a lever in order to get the original agreement you had back in place

 

...i am wondering though what they would do if you continued just to pay what they agreed to?

they would certainly look silly in court when you produce the letter..

..personally i would send for agreement and take it from there

I applied for the card on the internet at the time so don't have any paperwork here myself. They just sent me the card at the time as far as I remember.

 

No, I haven't CCA'd them yet, as the application is post 2000 I thought they would most likely have an enforceable agreement as I was under the impression it is mainly the pre-2000 ones that are sometimes either gone or iffy.

As I have already made payments since 2006 , is that not an acknowledgement of the debt anyway ?

 

I find it strange that they just up the payment from our agreed £26.- to £144.- without any communication and then say I failed to make a minimum payment and up it to over £2000.- the next month. All without any letters or communication. That is just what is printed on my monthly statements.

They should realize themselves that this is ridiculous. £2000.- is double my monthly salary.

 

So you suggest I CCA them anyway and see what they have in hand ?

I have got an old credit card debt with MINT cards,

 

 

I have been paying them off at £27.- per month for years and have got around £3000.- left to pay.

 

They have now given this debt to Wescot to manage (sometime last year).

 

I haven't received any statements since then, but continue to make my monthly payments to MINT.

 

Aren't they obliged to send statements

To manage, or did they sell it?

 

You should get a statement at least once a year.

 

have you ever CCA'd mint?

 

because paying them 27 a month for years, and they havent done anything.... its pretty strange. Normally theyd have either sold it on, or taken you to court themselves.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

I would suspect interest is frozen so theres no need for statement

 

 

you can safely ignore wetcloths

they don't buy debts

so I would suspect if you read their letter its says 'our client' and that will be RBS.

Thanks for merging threads.

Interest is frozen and RBS / Mint agreed quite a while ago to accept £27.- per month until the balance is paid off.

I received monthly statements but they have now stopped. Haven't had one since last August.

 

Wescot just said they are managing the debt, I don't think they actually bought it.

 

Their letter gave me new account details to make payment to, or alternatively if I had a standing order to MINT I could just continue to pay like that and Mint / RBS would ensure the money is allocated correctly.

 

So if they send me a statement once a year that will be fine ?

as I said read the wetcloths letter

it will say our client..who is?

 

 

wetcloths don't buy debts.

 

 

yes you are correct the owner of the debt should sent an annual statement.

The letter says ' your royal bank of scotland account is now being managed directly by Wescot'

It says they have taken over the management. So no, they haven't bought it.

RBS (MINT) used to send me a monthly statement but stopped sometime in August last year.

So I'll probably get an annual one now.

  • 1 year later...

I have got an old Mint Credit card debt (RBS) for which I have got an instalment plan in place.

 

I am paying £27 per month , MINT at the time agreed I could pay this until the balance has been repaid.

 

I have stuck to this religiously for years but still have got around £2500 left to pay.

 

Never had any problems, but Mint / RBS sold this to Wescot and they are now harrassing me and saying they would like me to make a settlement offer or otherwise an account review has to take place.

 

I told them I have an instalment plan in place which is in place until the balance has been fully repaid and sent them the letter from MINT confirming this.

They have totally ignored it and keep on sending me income & expenditure letters and chasers.

 

I told them again to stop this as an account review is not required as I will be paying £27 per month until its repaid, but they don't seem to be interested.

 

Is there anything else I can do or should I just start to ignore them ?

They sent me a letter saying RBS doesn't legally own this debt anymore and I now must pay them (Wescot) direct and come to an agreement with them. (?)

They gave me new bank account details to make payment to (I always paid Mint / RBS direct previously)

 

This is part of their drive to get me to make a settlement offer and conduct a review of the account.

 

So they make it sound as if they bought the debt.

But there is also Cabot involved.

 

Their letter states their own reference, than a client reference (which is my old credit card number) and then it says Client is Cabot Financial owned Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

So I am not sure who owns it now after all.

 

So if Wescot is the DC, maybe Cabot bought it from RBS.

Anyway, they say RBS is no longer the legal owner....

 

So currently I am writing letters with Wescot, but they don't seem to understand that there is an instalment agreement in place with the original lender.

stop payment

whomever owns it will soon scream.

 

then it says Client is Cabot Financial owned Royal Bank of Scotland.

 

the above does make sense.
