    • 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.

Good afternoon,

 

I have been a regular user of PDL's for several years and am now looking at getting control of my finances and clearing my remaining debts. I have made poor financial decisions over the last few years which i blame a bit on a bit of gambling and drinking - both issues that are now firmly in check.

 

i just wondered if i am eligible for a PDL irresponsible claim:

 

my current debts are below - all i have borrowed from previously. also i have 4 defaulted debts on my credit file from 2014 so i'm sure this would have come up on a credit check. In total there are 18 other settled PDL on my credit file from 2014-17.

 

My noddle account does not show the amounts i borrowed in the settled category, just the live accounts.

 

My questions are:

 

1. is there a standard email to ask for the information of my loans or is it straight away a SAR?

2. some of my income and expenditure was a bit fabricated if im honest but surely i should have been declined if i had defaults?

3. will it make any difference that the payday loans are classed as instalment loans?

 

i want to try and tackle the 4 debts i have first then look at reclaiming others after.

 

any advice is welcome and a donation will be made on any success.

ok fully read and 1st step completed (very nervous of it, not sure why)

 

sent the creditors below? do i stand a good chance on this?

 

I am making a complaint to you about irresponsible lending. To help me explain the details, I would like a list of my loans, showing when they were taken out and how much was repaid when. Please note I am only asking for details of my loans, I am not making a Subject Access Request.

ok first bit of information back off Uncle Buck so i am attempting to prepare my letter.

 

after reading the guide, is it the interest i am asking for back plus 8% or to write off my existing debt?

 

i have checked my credit file, they completed a credit check and money laundering. at the time there was plenty of other loans that had been settled plus 5 defaults on my alythough not all were PDL.

 

This is my breakdown:

 

01/2016 - loan £100, repaid £148.20

02/2016 - loan £350, repaid £532.99

04/2016 - loan £700, on payment plan - paid £126 so far but have a balance of £900 left

 

here is my first letter. does this look ok?

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I have had 3 loans from you between XX/01/2016 and XX/05/2016, one of which I am in a payment plan.

 

Your loans trapped me into a debt spiral, with the repayment taking so much of my wages that I had to borrow again to cover my next month expenses.

 

For this period my income averaged about £1200 a month.

 

My living expenses were roughly: rent £400 Council tax £70 Utilities and bills £170 Transport costs £180 Clothes £70 Food and toiletries £100. Other debt repayments £140. Total £1140 per month. This shows that there was no way I could afford these loans. When I repaid them, I had to borrow again to get through the next month.

 

You should have realised from the number of times I rolled loans or borrowed again that my debt problems were getting worse. It was not responsible to continue to lend to me. My bank statements would have shown further payday lending and my account being completely empty within a day of payday due to lending from friends and family too. From 2015-2017 I have borrowed and paid back over 20 payday loans from providers along with yourselves.

 

My credit reports would have shown my other debt repayments and problems including late payments on other payday loans and 4 defaults on existing accounts from 2014 inc, XXXX AND XXXXX.

 

You should never have given me these unaffordable loans. I would like to ask you to refund the interest and extra charges I paid. The Financial Ombudsman suggests that statutory interest is added to this sort of refund.

 

I only found out I could make this sort of irresponsible lending complaint in April 2018.

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Yours Faithfully,

quick update. all complaints logged and the replies are filtering through.

 

uncle buck have asked for a copy of my credit report showing the defaults and all the settled loans - sent that via email. they are also asking for bank statements from the time of application.

 

is this normal practise for the lenders to ask? issue i have is i closed that account and opened another elsewhere. i can of course approach my old bank for statements if need be.

IMHO bank statements are none of their business

but an sar [leave it till after may 25 then its free]

will get you every statement.

im currently writing my FOS complaint and just wanted an opinion on the wording if possible, please.

 

Complaint:

 

I have made a complaint to this company regarding irresponsible lending.

 

I do not believe i should have been lent the money at the time due to repeat borrowing from this company with 3 loans in the space of 5 months. Any checks at the time should have highlighted i was borrowing with other payday lenders and had 2 payment plans at the time. Also my credit file shows 4 defaults from this time which are still on there now as well as plenty of settled payday loan accounts.

 

Had bank statements been asked for, it would have shown my salary going in and within 24 hours my account empty due to other loan repayments aswell as payments made to family who had bailed me our for bills.

 

This is the tricky bit! am i being cheeky?

 

how do you want the business to put things right for you?

 

I would like them to acknowledge they should not have lent and repay me the interest on the loans with 8% to reduce or write off the remaining debt as still cannot afford to pay the debt off.
