    • 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.

Hi,

 

I'm looking for some advice on a PCN that was issued last year 07/09/2017 for parking at Croydon Poplar Walk car park.

 

I did park there on the 7th September, and didn't make the payment as I think my phone had issues (or I forgot) and called up the number the next day when I remembered on the PaybyPhone site/board to ask how I can pay for the previous day as when I checked the website I couldn't find any other contact number.

The operator told me she couldn't help me as there was no mechanism to make a back dated payment.

I've parked in the same car park multiple times and always made the payment.

 

When the first letter came,

I remember vaguely I called to say I tried to make the payment the next day,

but they wouldn't have any of it,

and said the notice in the car park says clearly that the payment needs to be made within 30 minutes of parking.

 

I tried appealing on the call saying I had tried to make the payment the next day and explained I'm more than happy to pay the parking fee with an appropriate interest for it but the fine of £60.00 seems a bit steep, but they didn't budge.

I tried to search up the actual legal owners of the car park, but couldn't find any details for them.

 

Subsequently,

I got a few letters from Civil Enforcement where the money owed kept going up,

but after trolling through a few sites which recommended ignoring these letters, that's what I did.

 

Then I got a few letters from ZZPS which had threatening tones (and amount kept increasing, all of which I threw away) and then got a couple of letters from QDR solicitors, the last one dated 25/5/2018 threatening stated they would obtain a CCJ, which I kept.

I didn't do anything, as after looking up similar letters the general advice seemed to be to ignore them.

 

Last week I got a Claim form from County Court Business Centre, Northampton dated 11/10/2018 which looks very legitimate as it has the county court stamp (albeit a bit faint).

The amount now states £331.59!! :(

Feel like I should've just paid the £60.00 last year. It seems a bit unjust that a £5.00 parking fee should end up having such a huge fine!!

 

What should I do?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I've attached the first page of the claim form (it has 4 pages in total with page 2 being a 'Response Pack',

page 3 is "Admission (specified amount)"

- lots of sub-sections and is double sided ending with a declaration.

 

Page 4 is "Defence and Counterclaim (specified amount)"

- also double sided with lots of sections.

 

I've also attached a scanned copy of the letter from QDR solicitors.

 

Please help me.. feeling very anxious now!

Kind regards

Al

The experts will be on in the morning, but in the meantime have a look through other threads where court proceedings have begun to get a feel of what to do.

 

I know you can register on the MCOL website that you oppose the claim which buys you time to prepare a defence and start to undermine these charlatans.

 

There are no guarantees of course, but most of the time the parking companies can't be bothered to prepare a proper legal case because they don't need to, unfortunately most of the time people are frightened of the legal process and give in … which means that a decently-defended case wins most of the time! Go for it!

We could do with some help from you.

one point...it is NOT A FINE..nowhere if you look carefully does any of the paperwork use that word...….

 

its a speculative invoice and they've now issued a speculative claim hoping for a knee jerk payment or you continuing the [wrong] route of ignoring that too

[which you should never now do with any speculative invoices since 2012!!)

You say that you are tempted to call them the day afterwards and to make the payment. This raises some interesting possibilities for a defence but do you have any evidence of this?

OK, you acknowledge the claim and say you are defending in full.

Anything else is an admission you owe the lot so forget about thinking you can maybe pay £60, it doesnt work like that.

 

You dont owe any money, you offered to pay and they refused the payment, that menas you have mitigated the loss and they now cant ask for payment.

 

Also as CEL are the biggest crooks in the parking world they will have added all sorts of unlawful and spuruious amounts to the amount claimed, you wait,

 

Ashley may try caharging you another £200 to write his witness statement, something that has to happen anyway or there is no claim but people often dont know waht is allowed and what isnt so pay up before he asks for a new house.

 

I have no idea where Poplar Walk is so please tell us the street address or postcode so we can google it and give us an idea of what sort of car park it is, shopping centre, residential estate or what.

 

also tell us what paperwork you still have, so for example the original NTK.

Also, it isnt a FINE, it is jusr an invoice and probably an unlawful demand cos CEL dont care about the law that allows them to ask in the first place.

 

I have had a quick look on google spyonyourneighbour and can see 2 signs at the entrance.

 

The first says phone and pay and see other signs for conditions.

This is not a contract to park but an invitation to treat and that menas the conditions on the other signs are not set in stone so your offer you made should have been accepted.

 

The second sign cannot be read from google but it isnt an offer from CEL so that gives them problems regarding locus standi, or a right to make a court claim.

In short, it appears as though they have nothing to do with the offer so cant sue you.

 

Now as you can see that hasnt stopped them from spending money to do exactly that but it means that when you defend they will lose the claim as no contract exists between you that is enforceable.

 

Usual CEL con trick so once they see why you are defending they will have to drop the claim or end up paying costs and possibly getting sued by you if you are that way minded.

 

So, paperwork and some decent pictures of the signage needed so you can send an outline defence off within the time allowed but get the acknowledgement done now to buy you an extra fortnight to do the rest.

Hi dx

Hi @dx100uk

I'm a bit confused :???: regarding the NTK.

I dont have any of the early letters - they've all been recycled months back as the incident happened over a year ago.

 

I've managed to find one of the letters from CEL dated 24/08/2018 which could be an NTK?

 

I'm reattaching the 3 documents I have as as a single pdf, that is all I have, with all personal information including any codes redacted.

 

I've actioned post 9 as per your instructions and submitted the AOS.

for the CPR 3114 request - who do I send this to?

On the claim form there is no solicitor mentioned.

On some of the other threads where people have uploaded their claim form, the solicitor has Signed the claim.

Thanks

Al

 

Thanks @ericsbrother

I will take some pictures of the signage tomorrow and upload to this thread.

 

I've registered on MCOL and submitted AOS as per Dx's instructions.

 

Thanks again to both of you.

Kind Regards

Al

Hi HB

There is no other information on the Claim form apart from the details on the first page in the small box on the left.

I’ve looked at all the other pages.

I’ve seen on other threads the text says they’ll send particulars later etc.

But even that’s not mentioned on mine!?

Thanks

Hi @dx100uk

Sorry I didn't realise you wanted the whole text typed out in that format.

I didn't damage anything in the car park - is that enough as defence?

 

I've attached the signage pictures.

 

How do I go about putting a defence ? Or do I need to wait till the response to the CRP comes?

 

Thanks

you need to read up on terminology, damages is the monies they are claiming. They are stating that you have caused them a loss by not paying them immediately.

the signage doesnt mention paying them £100 for not obeying their conditions offered in the big sign so there is no damages they cna claim for breaching the supposed conditions.

 

They are damned by their own signage so wont want to actually have to turn up at Croydon CC and thus rely on bullying you into paying up beforehand because if they attend you will beat them and get your expenses for the day out to boot.

 

So the simplest defence will be there was no offer of a contract so the claimant has no cause for action against the defendant.

 

CEL WILL lie and may even produce mock ups of non-existent signs so make sure you have pictires of everything.

Do not argue or fret over the actual missed parking payment,

as already said,

there isnt a contract here that even states what you are supposed to pay and the parking meter is the only actual offer of terms so if you didnt use it you cant be held to its terms.

On the signage for Phone and Pay

- under the Terms and Conditions, it does talk about the £100.00 if the parking is not paid in 10 minutes of parking

- although in very small writing.

 

TBH I didn’t even see that until day before when I went to take the picture!

I can’t correct my previous post where I thought it was 30 minutes.

 

Does this cause a problem for my Defence?

Thanks again.

we need to see everything, not just secondhand snippets.

As I have said, they will produce false documents and computer mock ups of signs that dont exist so we need to see what is there and see it all in clear detail as well as getting an indication of where the signs are relative to the entrance.

 

we know half of the story and that is enough to kill a claim but we need to be able to counter the lies.
