    • 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.

Can anyone advise

 

Owe

Vanquis 4,000

Capital one 1,000

Aqua 1,200

Marbles 1,000

 

looking likely they are all going to default this month,

 

 

offered £12 a month /token payment,

only capital one is playing ball

others are screaming for income/expenditure, which i refuse to do,

 

 

sent them proof i am in receipt of benefits,

still want income/expenditure,

 

 

over the phone(yep cajoling)and I will not give this to them,

what will be the likely outcome...?

will it be sent off to to DCA's in a few months? ,

after they get fed up of asking for income/expenditure..

 

 

.I am seriously considering a DRO as well,

 

And to add, all these cards were taken out in 2015

you will have to do yourself a income and expenditure to see how much you can offer all of them pro rata ,

 

when you have done the budget you have a amount left over and that is the amount you can offer to your creditors and not a penny more ,

 

citizen advice can help national debt helpline .

 

I cant see your problem about sending them a I @ E ,

national debt helpline has one that you complete and

one version is the one you send to your creditors ,

 

Since you are not sending them a I @ E I am not surprised they won't help .

 

I have just negotiated freezing of all interest etc due to a serve change of circumstances

so I sent them all a I @ E with a covering letter explaining the circumstances and all of them played ball .

Thanks for your reply, mulling over it, I probably will just keep paying £12 a month to them , then do a DRO probably in December , my credit is trashed anyway , regardless of not doing a income/expenditure, currently it will take me years to pay them back

First thing, write to them and explain. If you cant write, you can call, but you MUST record the call in full.

 

Dont do a DRO or IVA.

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

If your only form of income is social security, then all they get is £1 a month each, so that is a fiver.

 

There is no legal responsibility to send anyone an I&E form, this is your own personal confidential info, and something for you to work from in paying your creditors.

 

Have you informed them that you are in financial difficulty?

 

Have you reclaimed any/all penalty fees they've added to these accounts?

 

Have they stopped adding interest?

Hi

I have written two letters to them explaining my financial situation , and requested in both to freeze interest etc,

the last letter I enclosed a copy of my benefit entitlement, certain personal , i.e NI number redacted

 

I offered in the last letter a token payment of 12 per month, its actually less ( thats just a general figure) ,

 

 

i have already made 1 months token payments to them,

however all want a income/expenditure ,

I even called and spoke to each one to confirm they had received said letters and all said yes,

and still wanted me to spend 3o mins on the phone going through an I/E which I am not prepared to do,

 

 

we all know they are cajoling to squeeze every penny, and frankly its 30 mins I can put to better use,

as Uncle bulgaria quotes above there is no legal obligation to do this,

and I quoted this to them,

still they advised they will not accept a token payment agreement without I/E ,

 

 

I am not hiding anything, but if I am under no legal obligation to provide it, I will carry on making token payments to them

 

the worry i have about DRO is I am currently in the throes of operating a business start up , no income yet , and a dro may effect it, although it is in someones else's name (directorship)

Don't worry about a DRO yet, cross that bridge when you come to it, if indeed you do.

 

Stay OFF the phone to them, ringing them is about as useful as teaching my cat to drive.

 

Keep everything in writing, TELL them that you're in financial difficulty, and for the next six months you will make them a token payment of £1 a month, this YOU will review in six months time and will inform them of any change.

As a reciprocal GOGW they will freeze any interest and charges to assist you in reducing the amount.

 

Have a look through the letter templates in the library above, ensure you keep a diary of events, copies of everything you send them, and always always, obtain 'proof of posting' which is free from the PO counter.

 

If they ring, laugh and hang up, keep a diary of their calls, if they persist, then tell them ''everything in writing'' and hang up, and follow it up sending the telephone harassment letter.

if you've sent them the 1st letter from the debt collection section of the library

and they are refusing

send them the 2nd one that states

shame you didn't help me

now you are only getting £1PCM

 

 

agree not to send any the I&E too

none of their business

as all they'll do it sell it on to a DCA sometime soon

and you most certainly want them having that info!!

Thanks Bazooka Boo for the advice, I have researched on here loads,...probaly see another thread of mine that is currently ongoing, was just confused slightly on the I/E as there seems to be a difference of opinion on this

Yeah I am keeping copies of everything Send, and proof , yeah will stay off the phone and now block them, may even send another letter the third asking to freeze interest rates etc

 

@dx100ukThats why I am loath to give the I/E to them

Any of them that fail to help you, and freeze interest, stop charges, then they get £1 a month for the life of the debt, end of.

 

If they won't play ball then you can award them the minimum legal token payment, and they'll have to lump it!

Ok , an update to this thread...

 

I have , since last October 2017 been paying a token amount each month

...despite various begging attempts by DCA's all token payments are going to the OC'S ..

..and they have been accepting payments via standing order ,

 

I have another one coming up , a certain mobile company who I cannot afford to pay and will default ,

again I am going to set up token payments with this company even though they said it will be farmed out to DCA ,

 

I have only ever contacted these OC's by letter...never called or emailed, so hopefully this helps people

Ah...noticed its not...its a letter outlining all charges, and then a 3 page questionnaire/information sheet asking for information i.e incomings/outgoings (seems a fishing letter)...with the phrase(s)such as  you have received this notice a business intends to take you to court in relation to a debt...and other phrase(s) such as if not sent back in 30 days it could result in court action....
