    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • 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 xx/xx/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 xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/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.

    • 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.

I hope I'm posting this in right place. I hope some one can help.

 

I purchased a 1 year family and friends railcard back on 14th May 2018. So have had it nearly 6 months. I bought it at my nearest railway station.

 

It has been well looked after and I always kept it in plastic wallet that train station gave me when bought railcard. It has never got wet, as have always kept it safe where it could not get wet from rain.

 

I went to get it to use yesterday and was horrified to find all the information on railcard had faded and was barely readable.

 

I went on the rail card website and it says there is a known issue with railcards bought at railway stations and that is that they are printed on thick paper/card and the ink used reacts with the plastic of wallet and fades.

 

It says on rail card website if you take railcard to a station they can put it though their ticket machine to check validity of railcard and get information and can issue replacement railcard for free.

 

I went to my nearest railway station today but they refused to put it though machine they said they couldn't.

they asked me for receipt but unfortunately I could not find receipt

 

I did how ever have bank statment showing payment for railcard,

I also had card I paid with with me,

and I had ID to prove I was the person named on railcard

 

they would not accept any of this and would not give me a replacement railcard.

 

I came home and contacted railcard but despite knowing about this issue of ink fading they would not help me they said they only deal with railcards bought online or buy phone. And that railcards bought at stations are station and national rails responsibility.

 

I have tried contacting national rail and they won't help me either they say I need to speak to railcard, so feel like Im going round in circles.

 

Can any one advice what I should do now.

Is there any way to get a replacement railcard or refund.

 

It seems very unfair especially as it was not my fault that rail card faded.

They know about the issue but have done nothing about it to stop it happening.

 

I thought a bank statement is acceptable as proof of purchase.

 

Any advice much appreciated

 

Thanks in advance

I have tried asking for a partial refund and they won't do that either. Train station ticket office said they apparently can not look it up on their system without rail card no. When I contacted rail card and national rail they both told me rail cards are non refundable.

And would not help I'm at a loss as to what to do.

 

I don't see why I should have to pay out for another rail card for some thing that is not my fault and that is a issue they are well aware of.

When I spoke to rail card they said rail cards brought at train station are not put on there systems and that train stations don't have access to rail cards system. So there is apparently no way they can look it up on there system. National rail just refuse point blank to help and tell me to speak to rail card. Lady at ticket office at train station said they could apparently only look up if have rail card number. They can not look up rail card by name. It all seems very stupid to me in this day and age.

been doing some digging.

 

Most stations will be able to check the validity of the Railcards by running it through the ticket–issuing machine to check when it was originally issued.

 

have you returned to the issuing station?

Hi

 

As you have already tried to resolve this at the station you purchased the ticket (fading of the ticket which is a known issue with National Rail therefore the Rail operators of the networks would be aware of this issue)

 

Who is the Rail Operator for the Network you Purchased your Ticket? (check on there website if there is anything to do with 'Fading Tickets')

 

My advice would be that you now need to Formally Complaint to the Rail Operator of that Station that they refused a replacement or your Rail Card due to fading without any checks to verify your issue as this is that Rail Operators issue to deal with.

 

Do Not phone them unless you can record the call you need to keep a good paper trail, writing (get free proof of posting from post office) or email (make sure your email setting are set for a read receipt) to keep a record.

 

Also once you know who the specific Rail Operator is, if you want to find a CEO's Email look up this link:

Hi, I don't want to sound stupid but what exactly do you mean by who is the rail operator of the station that refused replacement rail card. The only train that comes to this station is A Northern train. So I'm assuming Northern would be operator of that station. Is this right.

 

If it helps I bought rail card from Windermere Railway station in the lake district Cumbria. And this is the station I went back to to try and get replacement.

 

Lady in ticket office said there was no point talking to Northern as rail cards are national (as in can be used any where in country). She said Northern are only responsible for tickets bought to go on Northern trains. Is she correct or not. Is it worth contacting Northern.

 

Thanks again for you advice

Hello

 

Teddybear154

 

If you are still following Windermere station is operated by Northern by Arriva https://www.northernrailway.co.uk/stations/WDM

 

F&F T&C says https://www.familyandfriends-railcar...ms-conditions/

 

3. Replacing your lost, damaged or stolen Railcard

3.1. If you lose or damage your Railcard or it is stolen, you can apply for a replacement. If you bought the original Railcard at a National Rail station, you can request a replacement only at a ticket office and you must show the completed ‘Receipt’ voucher from the original application form. If you purchased your Railcard online, you must request a replacement online.

 

3.2. You will only be issued with one replacement in any 12 month period, and you will need to pay a £10 administration fee, unless your Railcard was stolen and you have a crime reference number or documentation issued by the Police.

 

3.3. You will be requested to show some form of identification when obtaining a replacement from a station.
