    • 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,

      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.

It wasn't going to be muppets, but something a bit stronger, Anyway.... Twice today i've had ignorant truckers flying up the outside lane on an approach to an island to almost take the nose of of my cab as we've hit the island, (i'm a trucker too) Ok the first one I managed to politely (HA) suggest that he learn how to drive again, the second I just gave a polite clap to as I passed him on the next streach of duel carrageway....... anyway rant over.... just annoys me how selfish &/or ignorant some people are..... :mad:

yeah know how you feel,I had an incedent not long ago while taking my son (17) on a driving lesson. We had been behind this car for about 10miles,doing on average about 30 -40 mph (60limit) so once we got to a straight bit of the road, noone coming other way and safe to pass I told him to overtake,guess what as soon as he started to overtake they sped up. Now they could clearly see the L plates and to cap it all it was an elderly couple in the car,and they speak about young drivers.

It really knocked his confidence that day, I was sooo annoyed glad to say that this hasn't put him off.

 

Okay rant over.

Ok, talking old gits, as well as passangers, driving down an A-road with old git infront doing about 40mph, everytime I went to overtake i'd get "just be bloody patient" in my ear right at the wrong moment from the wife..... needless to say, it took about 15 miles to overtake old git!!! who needless to say, managed to stay with us for the next 15 miles (doing about 60!!!!!!!!!!)

Oh yea, their equally adept with the brake too... driving down the A14, old git decided to pull in infront so close I couldn't see numberplate, i'm just glad I dropped back as he was pulling in as he then hit the brakes as soon as he was in lane (dropped from 50ish to 30mph) even with my foot already on brake I lost sight of his back window (and almost kissed my windscreen) i'm just glad we have newish trucks with decent brakes and was carrying an empty container (no weight) I didn't know weither to laugh or cry as my heart was going 20 to the dozen but so was his wifes mouth after i'd hit the horn, he got a right earful.

I have had a really frightening experience with an ignorant truck driver just passed Royston, Truck driver tailgating, Speed cameras all over place, I looked around asking him to pull back ( we are not inexperienced drivers and would have sped up if it were not for the speed cameras) Baby and eldest in back and I am cacking it, He was so close that I couldnt see his number plate but I could see his company name, so I got on the phone to his company and warned them that if they didnt tell him NOW to back off and stop being a twonk, I would be ringing the police.

 

20 seconds later , he answers phone, and pulls back!!:D

Don't get too close to my rear end................cos..............i'll stop.

 

No matter what I'm driving and no matter who's stupid enough to tailgate me. The above will happen.

 

And the answer to the next question is yes I have, and yes they were both bigger than me, one I ran over and the other got wrapped around a tree.

Is there not a much stronger law re using the phone while driving, or did I misread something. I have lost count of the number of people I have seen driving and using the phone at same time, from boy racers to salesmen, from truckers to whitevan man, from women to;.... infact they're all at it. Last week I was overtaken by a car whose driver was using the phone, next minute he cuts across me, and yes, I did follow him, up the slip road, round the roundabout, still using the phone, along the road, and around the next roundababout until I pulled up alongside of him and asked him what the ***** hell he thought he was playing at. And this morning, taking a drive in the country with some very nasty bends, I was followed by a woman driving with one hand while holding and talking into a phone. The journey lasted for 15 minutes, I turned right, she turned left still using the phone :mad:

We got trapped in Central London's one-way system for a looooong time on Saturday evening, and the 'vehicles' that shocked me the most were those bloody bicycle rickshaws! They were pulling out and weaving all over the place, changing lanes with no indication, barrelling down the road, cutting up buses (!); the rickshaws themselves are really fragile looking, like an old-fashioned pole tent converted into a garden bench, and the guys 'driving' had no clue. We almost ran one down ourselves, and much frustrated steering-wheel hitting did ensue...I understand now why the cabbies have been making such a fuss about them.

Hi all, couldn't believe my eyes this morning, the prat across the road (kid, boy racer) only drove off with his arm in a sling, under his top, me thinks it's time to have a chat with him and his mum who I cant believe let him drive off to work like that when she could have easily taken him herself.....Some things just have to be seen to be believed!!!!!

Two things good buddies, there is no excuse for having a phone in your hand while driving as the technology is here to allow conversations without taking hands off wheel. Don't get me started on tailgateing by HGV's. If your tailgated by an hgv at above 56mph(except going downhill) report them to police as this means the speed limiter has been tampered with and carries severe penalties. If your tailgated at under 56mph then use some common sense and courtesy and keep out of their way. If you want your shops filled with goods, especially fresh food, don't hinder these guys from doing their job. It's bad enough being restricted to 56mph (40 on single carriageway) without some dithering muppet making things worse. What we need is a great upsurge in PROGRESSIVE driving and an equal downsurge in Aggressive driving.
