    • 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,All

 

please can i get some advice regarding todays events,

 

i was off sick with a trapped nerve in my lower back (I am a delivery driver)

 

i was asked by my manager via text if i would return to work as a passanger to show the lad covering my run the route as my normal finish time is 14.00 and he finished at 19.30 the previous day, I agreed to this and also informed my manager that the Naproxin and anti inflamitaries do help a little so i will chip in as much as i can,

 

Upon arrival at one of my deliveries which was a pub that doesnt open until 11.00am we got there at 10.40 and i was absolutely dying for a wee

i checked the gate to see if anyone was already there so i could use their loo however it was all locked up

i decided to go to the furthest secluded corner of the car park to have a wee,

 

suddenly i heard a woman shouting at my work mate but couldnt work out what she was saying however her tone was very aggressive,

i finished and went to see what the commosion was about,

 

i saw a female hanging out of the upstairs window of the pub (in the whole year ive been delivering there i never knew that they lived above as someone always comes and opens up)

 

she started to hurl abuse at me something about a tramp weeing in her car park

i calmly apologised and explained that i was very desperate and couldnt hold until they opened up in 15 minutes

she was having none of it

 

again apologised and got back into the lorry and rang my boss to tell him.

he told me he would sort it and not to worry.

My colleague then returned explaining that they were refusing the order so we took it back.

 

Upon arrival back to work i saw my manager who said that they'd complained and are wanting to speak with the directors

therefore he doesnt know what will happen now and the pub has told them they dont want me delivering there anymore

 

if they order tomorrow i wont be on it, (however id only returned from sick to show my colleague this round so would i be in my right to go back off sick)

Also the pub had sent in some sort of footage showing my colleague smoking in the lorry and my manager said i apparently "jumped" out of the lorry which is not bad for someone with apparently a bad back,

 

i actually felt insulted and said id already told you im on medication and it does help a little so i will chip in as much as i can.

if i was faking it i wouldnt have gone in at all why would i ?

 

would it be advisable to get a doctors note explaining the problem to my bladder that this trapped nerve has caused.

My previous 2 deliveries were schools who dont let you use the toilet for obvious reasons and i was in rural area with very thin roads no lay bys nor services.

 

Any advice would be greatly received, sorry about the spelling

If the trapped nerve and/or medication affects your bladder then get a medical note

 

If however, it is not true then don't

You would be making a bad situation worse

If you know you have that condition then, like pretty much every driver, you carry a bottle. I’d be furious if I were the customer and can’t see much hope on this one. Poor planning doesn’t excuse gross behaviour.

Never assume anyone on the internet is who they say they are. Only rely on advice from insured professionals you have paid for!

The law safeguarding children takes precedence over the HSE guidance HSG136 referred to. HSE guidance is just that, guidance on general good practice, not a statement of the law (and clearly refers to large premises with loading and unloading bay areas, not something a school would have). "When deliveries and collections are made, loading and unloading areas should ... have a safe area for drivers to wait that allows them to rest between driving shifts, especially if they may be waiting for several hours, with easy and safe access to toilet, washing and refreshment facilities and shelter in case of bad weather". No school is going to allow delivery drivers to wander around the school using the toilets and washing and having their lunch.

Yes, I agree with this.

 

The school should have allowed you and if they had safeguarding issues then they should have provided someone to follow you

 

In construction, sometimes we get workers who have no DBS, the school gets someone to watch over them while they do short work in classrooms

 

The school usually sends the bill back to us though (£10/hr and no more)

 

Anyway, your health condition would be mitigation so get the medical note

All schools have safeguarding issues about allowing strangers into the building when children are there. There's no 'if' about it.

 

Schools do not have staff available to escort delivery drivers to the toilet! Nor are they under any obligation to do so. If you are lucky they may have a visitors toilet in the reception area which can accessed without going into the main school building, then no problem. My school has that, most schools don't.

You cannot go urinating in some ones car park....... If you have a medical condition then you would have a catheter fitted or son other way of staying decent.

 

You've urinited in public... Offence and potentially could of been charged with exposing youself as well.

I don't agree with the OP at all but wow, that is harsh. Maybe you would feel different if ever a debilitating condition affects you.

We all make mistakes, I guess the OP must have realised that he made one

 

Maybe we should just focus on what advice we could give

 

Don’t fight lost causes and apologise where appropriate. But first OP has to get past making excuses for himself.

Dear Moggy491,

 

I haven't walked in your shoes so I wouldn't criticize you

 

By the way, how long were you off sick?

 

From what I can see, you were desperate to come back to work and you made the mistake of starting too early

 

Most people love being productive and working and I feel you just wanted to get back to work

 

I hope your employer is reasonable about the whole situation

Unless the doctor is prepared to write a statement about the link between the trapped nerve and bladder problem, the employer could be hardly punishing you.

When you're not fit for duty don't go to work.

Employers have no mercy, so why should employee go out of their way to please them when there's a good reason for not doing so?

all schools have staff toilets. Safeguarding rules dont exclude people from entering the premises, they talk about unchaperoned contact with children and so forth, not a bar on using building facilities. Common sense should prevail

first of all as quoted in my op i apologised twice whilst explaining the situation to the customer, and whilst taking a whole load of verbal personal abuse, To be fair your response Emmzzi is no help whatsoever and only judgemental and patronising. So therefore would request that you get off you're high horse and keep ones personal opinions to ones self. other than that please do have a nice day.

Hi dondada,

I had trapped a nerve over the weekend just gone and my first day off sick was monday, My boss later text me asking if i would come back to work and just sit in the passenger seat to guide my replacement driver around the route as i do this route in 6 hours yet it had previously taken the replacement 12hours , i agreed to this as to be fair with work and also expressed that my pain is less whilst on my medication so will chip in in any other way i can throughout the day.

so basically i was off sick for 1 day,

Trying to help out doesnt excuse himself from potentially breaking the law.

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..

I dont know how true this is but i have been informed there is no law against urinating however there is for public indecency, being in a secluded place out of public view and on private property would not constitute public indecency, only advised of this so dont know how true it is,

was also advised by my boss that you by law can urinate against your back left wheel, however i would then be closer to the building, in clear view of the public and in the middle of the car park,

Urinating on left back tyre!!!

Oh my!!!!

 

It is legal for a man to urinate in public, as long it is against the rear offside wheel of his motor vehicle and his right hand is on the vehicle.

 

Although this is widely reported as fact, this is actually not true.

Yep in all fairness it’s very absurd but if my boss believes this then who am I to convince him otherwise,
