    • 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.

Figures from the Insolvency Service show 90,930 personal insolvencies were recorded across England and Wales, rising 13.1% from 2015.

 

It is the first time since 2010 that the number of people entering insolvency has increased year-on-year.

Mark Sands, a personal insolvency partner at RSM, said: "In 2015 we saw the lowest levels of personal insolvency in over a decade, but the latest figures for 2016 show that the tide has now turned.

 

"Despite record low interest rates and high employment levels during the year, many more people found that they could no longer keep on top of their debts."

 

Recent Bank of England figures have shown strong rises in consumer credit, prompting concerns from charities that people could be at risk of over-stretching their borrowing.

It is current government policy to see an increase in personal/household debt. George Osborne when he was chancellor factored in a large increase in debts and banks were encouraged to loan more money. Philip Hammond has continued this policy. This is why the UK is doing better than other economies. Consumer spending on credit proping up retail sector. Credit card debts are at record high.

 

If there is another financial shock, UK banks will be in trouble again and will need another bail out.

We could do with some help from you.

I think consumers are daft to keep spending whilst there is so much uncertainty for the economy. Councils are almost certainly going to increase Council Tax - we are not sure if employment is going to be secure. It will only need for the BoE to increase interest rates and a lot more people will be in trouble.

To save bank "bail outs" and save taxpayers money there has been devised "bail ins". There has been a law passed both sides of the Atlantic where if banks get into trouble they can bail themselves out using depositors funds. When people put their money into the banks it gets put on a loan ledger where the bank has "borrowed" your money so when in trouble you become a creditor just like in a bankruptcy and the "loan" (your cash) would not be paid back.

Interesting, thanks for that, I had missed it :) A quick search " uk bank bail in law " produced this,

 

 

http://truepublica.org.uk/united-kingdom/grand-theft-auto-uk-eu-bank-depositor-bail-regime-implemented/

 

 

One bit jumped out, " This is an admission by the British government that the £85,000 deposit guarantee scheme is flawed and that the British depositors protection promise is simply a sound bite and not financially supported. "

 

 

Time to go back to a cash society ?

Time to go back to a cash society ?

 

Talking about cash, try "abolition of cash" on Google. Money Week "The Indian government has removed from currency 1000 and 500 Rupee notes and put a limit on ATMs of 2000 Rupees

 

Chase Manhatten, in half of their branches they neither accept or pay out cash and car loans, credit card bills and mortgages cannot be paid in cash,

 

David Cameron has told Police that if anyone is carrying over £1000 they demand to know where the cash has come from and if it cannot be verified they will confiscate it (Professional Builder)

 

Bank Of England hasn't printed any £50 since 2015

 

In France and Spain it is illegal to pay a bill in cash over 1000 Euro's or there is a fine of 25% and 40% (respectively) of the value of the bill. (Guardian of Telegraph)

 

I have had a letter from Barclay's that if I owe the HMRC or any other authority then they can demand Barclays take it from the account. What I do owe the HMRC and what they think I owe are two different things! People really do need to take notice of what is going on.

and the call us 'conspiracy theorists' ?

 

 

thanks for the heads up about HMRC, I am not with barclays, but........ working tax credit are after me, because concentrix put a 'note' on my file, to say I was living with someone ? I'm not - they just made it up ! is that criminal fraud?

 

I know there has been a lot of trouble with Concentrix. My daughter had a demand back for tax credits and she got out of it, never paid it back. I think there was a rule about if it was their mistake it made a difference but I don't know exactly what it was.

 

I make it a rule not to deal with third parties nor pass their "security" as I have no contract with them (contract law). beyond that I don't know the answer. In a dispute I always ask for full accounting and terms and conditions, what laws are they using. Do everything in writing. I sign everything "without prejudice" and write that partially overlapping the signature. That means you can't be held liable for anything said if they don't fully disclose everything. Put the onus of proof on them. HMRC books are in such a mess they don't know what they are doing and they find it difficult when you don't speak to third parties.
