    • 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.

Hi there,

 

Can anyone kindly advise -

 

Parking Charge of £100 received for not displaying BB in Disabled Space, at night in a large Retail Park from UKPC.

 

I don't have a BB and I'm not disabled.

 

I didn't see any signs for UKPC in that area and it was very dark

- I only saw them afterward driving home once I had received the ticket.

 

I took a photo to demonstrate that there were no signs in front of the car.

 

Should I just ignore this. Or should I contact UKPC to say that I wish to contest this.

 

I parked there because it was late at night and the car park was extremely busy and as I didn't see any enforcement I didn't think it would be a problem.

I was rushing to meet a friend and didn't want to be late for the cinema.

 

The vehicle is not owned by me - it's a leased vehicle via my brother's firm.

The very first thing you need to do is upload a pdf of the notice you have received. Blank out all personal and identifiable information and make sure we can see both sides if they have printed anything on the back too...

 

Do NOT respond to UKPC until the experts here have had a chance to check out the paperwork...

several things to think about.

 

Is the keeper of the vehicle up for fighting this,

you say it is a lease vehicle so who will get the NTK when you ignore this ticket

because we dont want the contract co paying up and then adding unlawful costs on to your brother's bill.

 

Now,

if the firm is a Ltd co then it is easier to deal with because there is no company liability in these matters

because the term "keeper" in the POFA is an individual and no individual would then own it.

 

I have dealt with other tickets for the same reason for the same place and after they have spent their time sending out letters they have gone quiet when told that the money isnt forthcoming because......

 

and then a list of reasons such as no idication they are offering you a contract

because the signage there is placed in such a way you dont see it when entering the land,

merely in some areas off the little roundabout in the middle of the parking area and even then that can only be seen when entering certain sections.

 

Likewise, the disabled parking area doesnt have the correct sigange to determine that you need a blue badge

( that would be a contractual term) to park in any specific bays

 

as others say,

the BB scheme doesnt apply to private land and there are no markings there that are universally applicable as a CoP so any demand for one has to be clearly specified on every bay that they want included and they fail on that front.

 

Speak to your bro and ask him if he is up for a fight,

he can always name you as the driver at the time if he isnt but for the moment wait a month for his letter through the post as they normally get that wrong as well.

 

The come back here and we can take it for there but for the moment dont contact them in any way but esp not by email or phone

Hi there,

Thanks 'EricsBrother' for your advice -

I'll need to check with my brother if he's up for fighting it - I'm guessing he will as long as it doesn't cause him agro or costs and we have a good chance of winning.

 

Who will get the NTK - i don't know.

But, I would imagine if they can track it correctly it would firstly go to the lease company,

 

which would then be sent to my brother's company and his P.A. would open it and know that this is the car I'm driving.

 

So I've warned her something may arrive and asked her to send it to me.

 

Yes, that's right I don't want to incur any costs from debt collectors or admin fees etc.

 

Is my brothers company a Ltd company - I think so will check it asap.

 

So just to be clear your advice is take no action whatsoever right now - just sit and wait for them to contact me in writing.

 

Does everyone agree that this is the best course of action here?

 

Thanks

 

Ok checked def Ltd Company.

 

THIS IS A PARKING CHARGE FROM UKPC

 

DATE 20-1-2018

 

Did I appeal yet? - no I've done nothing - so therefore I don't have an NTK yet

 

Who is the parking company - UKPC – i.e. UK PARKING CONTROL LTD. UXBRIDGE

They'll try to add on debt collection fees and any other figures that they can pull out of a hat. But that doesn't mean that you'll be paying any of them :wink:

 

Correct. The Leasing company will get the NTK first (unless your Brothers company is shown as the keeper in which case he will).

 

Don't appeal anything until you know if your Brother is up for a fight, and if he is, until he receives the NTK.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

Hi there,

 

I have a notice to keeper arrived 26/2/2018 - but dated 22/2/2018.

 

The lease company have sent this to my brothers company - they are charging him £15 plus VAT admin for sending this notice to them. The lease company say that I must pay the fine or notify them of appeal prior to the due date (i'm not sure when this is ...assume it's 28 days from 22/2/2018)

 

So I assume I should call the lease company and tell them I plan to appeal (otherwise they will pay and charge me an admin fee on top).

 

 

Please advise on how to best proceed. Thanks in advance.

you are making things worse for your brother by using the word FINE when it isnt. By doing so you make it seem as though there is some legitimacy to this and that will make the lease co want to do what they want and claim the money back. Stop it now and get your brother to do a bit of research on this place, UKPC and private parking in general.

 

Where he was parked the entrance to the private land doesnt have signs indicating he is being offered a contract, they are only evident at the small roundabout where you can turn left to park in front of the cinema and this sign is easily missed as it is not illuminated. The disabled spaces in front of the cinema are not signed properly either. It is my experience that UKPC often go quiet when this is raised with them but not always. Now your brother should go back and photograph the site, signs and road markings and read the signage so he can determine whether he has entered into a contract with them or not.

 

You cant do anything unless he names you as the driver so best get him to startr doing somehting to help himself by popinting out this thread for starters

Thanks for your comments. I used the word 'fine' incorrectly on this site, I've not used that word anywhere else - you are correct that word is not used on the 'Notice to Keeper' it says parking charge. The language used in the letter from the lease company says charge and fees.

 

ericsbrother -'where he was parked'.. I was parked, not my brother. I wouldn't expect him to take time to photograph this area I can do that since this is my issue.

 

I'm not clear on the way forward here - are you saying my brother should name me as the driver? Please would you kindly clarify this?

 

Thank-you

You, or your brother have had the Notice to Keeper (or Hirer in this case). There should be space on that form somewhere to tell the parking cretins who was driving the vehicle.

 

The only way to remove the lease company and your brother(s company) from the loop is to be named as the driver. This means that the cretins have to deal with you directly.

So my next steps should be to contact the Lease company to tell them I am the driver, that I am appealing and that they can pass my name to UKPC?

- I don't see anything on the form to provide this...just info on how to pay the fees

You should firstly tell the leasing company that this is not a fine, penalty or statutory charge and therefore, as invoices are not covered under the lease agreement (check that first) you'd like your £15+VAT back (or credited, or cancelled) pronto. And that they'd best not make any moves to pay these bandits.

 

Also tell the lease company that the invoice is going to be appealed, and then as per the notice (there's usually a space for this on the back of the form, maybe they're trying to save on ink :lol:) appeal to UKPC as the driver (not normally recommended) but that's the only way to get the lease company out of the loop.

 

Dear Cretins..

 

I have received your invoice dated XX/XX/XX as driver of the vehicle.

 

The vehicle was not parked contrary to any visible signage and as the blue badge scheme has no relevance on private land, either cancel this ticket forthwith or give me a POPLA code.

 

Signed

 

The driver.

 

Don't actually sign it

-

 

It really doesn't matter on what grounds you appeal to UKPC, they'll reject it anyway, there's no profit in allowing appeals. But it removes the lease company from the loop and means that you can then fight this yourself without having to worry about your brother getting raggy with you or the lease company and any charges that they might try to add on.

Hi there - many thanks for the advice, I'm writing the letter now. How should UKPC send me the POPLA code? - am I to put my residential address on this letter, I just want to check before adding personal information ... or should I leave it blank and let them send it to the lease company?

Yep, your address. You don't want the lease company involved at all. They'll try to charge your bother(s company) for anything that they do, so best to get them out of the picture completely.

Hi there

 

So I’m feeling a bit worried about this now as I’ve received another letter from the lease company. The lease company says they received a ‘rejection notice’; if another demand for payment is received they will pay it +£25 + VAT :(

 

 

Cretins say - transfer liability from lease company - it’s been rejected - paperwork does not comply - section 13, para 4, section of the Freedoms Act 2012 - did not have include a compliant statement of liability
