    • 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.

Let me start with a little back story.

My son is 3 and disabled

I am his sole carer 24/7 without a break or sleep most if the time.

I have no problem with this as he is my baby and i love him.

But it gives context.

 

About a month ago it was in Tesco shopping i did self scan and after half an hour of my son having a melt down because of the noise we finally got to the pay bit.

 

 

I had just got my card out to pay when a security guard shot over and asked if I had paid for the £4 toy my son was holding.

 

 

Now if you have ever experienced a meltdown you can understand I was all over and stressed I had forgotten however I accepted my mistake payed for the item and that was it.

 

after this I started using the normal checkout so that I have to check everything.

 

 

A few weeks later I was shopping with my son again and he picked up and opened a toy.

I put the packaging in the trolley to be paid for.

 

 

My son dropped the little toy

i went to the toy part and picked up a new one and put the old one back.

I admit this was stupid but he had screamed for about 20mins about the missing one and my brain was in overload close to tears myself.

 

 

I'd paid for the toy and my shopping

the guard (same one) pulled me and my disabled son back to the front desk.

 

 

They had spotted me do the swap (pretty sure he was watching me all the time I was in)

 

 

I apologised and offered to pay for the old toy and that was it over.

Oh and another guy walked over and threw the packaging at me aggressively.

 

Safter this I stopped taking my son shopping.

I have my dad drive him around till I'm done.

I'm making the effort.

 

 

I've been in everyday since the incident

today a snotty manager pulls me up when I'm put my stuff on the conveyer belt and ask me if i should be in store.

 

 

I have him a confused look and he said I had been asked not to return.

This was not the case and I told him I wouldnt have come in if I had been told this.

He called me a list.

 

 

i had some nappies for my son and milk for him.

I asked if I could just pay then go.

He said no.

Then threatened me with the police.

 

 

After leaving the store my mama bear kicked in as i felt he was attacking my son.

I explained that they are the only store that sells the things my son needs

( he will only have certain milk nappies and food which I can get anywhere else and i dont drive)

he said he didnt care that it was my problem.

 

 

I explained about my son and that i had made of not taking him in (which is very hard for my son) and he threatened me again. i said he was discriminating against a disabled child and walked out.

 

Now I know they can ban whoever they like.

But im sat here terrified I'm going to get arrested and taken away from my son.

 

 

He seemed the type totty to be a ... and the security guard is a guy i went to school with who use to bully me.

 

 

If the product never left the store can they so anything?

And i paid both times. Also are they discriminating towards my son?

 

Im prone to panic attacks and I've had 7 today.

Are you asking "if you are likely to face any police action currently"?.

The answer to that is no: you've not committed any theft type offence and even if the store staff felt you might have previously : the police weren't called.

 

The threats of police for the most recent episode were likely related to them feeling you had been banned and thus were related to them believing you were entering the store as a trespasser where they might have called the police; in such a case the police would attend merely to ensure there was no breach of the peace.

 

Are you asking "can the store staff ban me, even if I need to go to that store to buy items for my disabled son"?

Yes, they can.

 

You can appeal to the store manager, or to head office, and/or kick up a storm on social media or the local press, but they can ban who they like, and they can state they have banned you for security reasons (rather than it being s case of discrimination).

 

Whilst you are trying to get this resolved : can you get those specific items (milk, nappies and goods) via a delivery service (either Tesco or a competitor), or get someone else to get them from the store, so the store staff can't say "well, she came in while she knew she was banned after being told to leave".

Thank you.

I understand the banning but the fact I wasn't told of it upsets me then called a liar infront of a shop full of people.

 

Also the security guard (who supposedly banned me) only told me i shouldn't bring my disabled son in if he was going to cause problems. I find that offensive.

 

I have found stores who will deliver the goods needed thank you. I shouldn't worry?

 

Are you asking "if you are likely to face any police action currently"?.

 

When you say currently does that mean they may do something in the future even if I dont return to Store?

I've considered it. But I dont need the hassle. I was going to ask to speak to head manager as I felt the guy I dealt with was on a power trip. Just feel sorry for my poor son who now can't enjoy his weekly trip to the onsite cafe (where the staff adore him) it's the only time we get to do something like that as he won't settle in any other cafe (needs to be familiar) and it took us a year to settle him visiting this one.

I don't think they'll do anything if you don't return to the store prior to getting the ban rescinded.

In terms of "I shouldn't worry?" ; in general, no, I don't think you have anything to worry about, but if there is still something specific bothering you, ask away & hopefully you'll be able to get some specific reassurance.

It's honestly just that i told the manager on my way out that i should involve the police for them discriminating against a disabled child that's worrying me..he seemed like the type to go out if his way to upset people. So allday I sat shaking hoping the police wouldn't turn up.

I've tweeted this directly to the Tesco customer service department.

 

I'm especially concerned that the security person apparently knows you from your schooldays and that you didn't get on very well together there. That is the kind of circumstance where the security guard should properly have referred the matter to somebody else and not have gotten involved.

 

I hope Tesco's will take an interest in this once they see the tweet.
