    • 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.

I am new to this site.

My husband has received two pcn's one from a company called CP Plus ltd and one from uk parking control which have the same address for a start. One was asking for £50 and then if not paid within 28 days £80 plus £40 admin charge the other £75 and then if not paid £95 plus £40 admin charge.

 

:lol::lol::lol:

 

I was going to pay them, but by chance I decided to check things out on the internet and I found this site. I have written to both companies using template found on this site confirming that he is the registered keeper of the vehicle and that they need to take this matter up with the driver.

 

That's good you have made your position clear.

 

Both pcn have been issued via anpr system.

Over the weekend he has received two letters back one from uk parking control requesting details of the driver but it states that the pcn will remain open in his name and be processed accordingly.

 

You are of course under no obligation whatsoever to provide any information about who may have been driving, even if you knew.

 

The other from cp plus ltd states it is a final reminder to pay £80 within the next 7 days or this notice could result in this debt being registered in the county court or warrant being issued to baliffs.

 

:lol::lol::lol:

 

Firstly, I was going to write back to uk parking control stating that we have no record of who was driving the car and ask them to produce evidence

 

Don't be sucked into this [problem], you have set out your position, all you will accomplish is a lot more letters with them thinking you may waiver and pay. You are not dealing with a legal authority and don't have to answer any question.

 

but not sure how to reply to cp plus ?

 

Easy, just ignore them.

 

thanks

regards

Hi

Like others I to am new to this site having been issued with a PCN by G24 Ltd for a parking offence in Homebase 354, High Road, Harrow. They have photographed a vehicle driving in and then leaving and state that it was parked there for to long, they claim and want £95 or £75 if paid within 14days. They have not provided a number of other images where the car entered and left the area.

I have read a vast number of threads today and I am just after the basic advice Do I ignore it or send your template letter to then.

They have made what appears to be the normal threats of if I do not pay it they will pass it to a recovery agency

Anyone know roughly how long after the PPCs stop sending you stuff you can consider yourself in the clear? My last of two (ignored) letters from Excel was the beginning of June and I've heard nothing since - if that's all the fight they've got then I'm almost disappointed

Made a bit of a boo boo with previous posting in answer to your question tranceaddict84 last I heard from Excel was end of May nothing since.... :) shame really looking forward to going to court, bought a new suit looked quite dapper in it although I say it myself, even practised in front of the mirror , when asked how do I plead I would say "not guilty my lord" or though I rather suspect I have got the wrong sort of court, but humour me anyway.:D

Hi,

 

I have fought a parking ticket claim using Bernie the Bolt's template letters. However, they do not seem to be getting the message that I am not going to pay.

 

I received a letter from a debt recovery service quoting I had 10 days to pay. I replied with the cease and desist letter quoting Protection from Harrassment Act. Today I have received another letter quoting 7 days to pay.

 

Any ideas what I should do next?

An update from my post of 24th August. I have heard nothing back from one company re the parking ticket.

 

The other from CP Plus states Legal Action Pending and is requiring me to pay £120.00 within the next 7 days ( which I have not paid) It states if not paid this matter will be referred to their solicitors and they reserve the right to take legal action to enforce this contract and register this debt against me in County Court and have a warrant issued by the Bailiffs.

I'm still playing the say nowt game, have had the two letters from some phoney Debt Collection Agency Newlyn and now they have refered the matter back to the parking company for them to consider further action. Its all pretty much panning out as Lamma says i expect to get some letteres now from there "solicitors" with the same empty threats. I find it quite funny that the threats they make just don't appear because as it says they have no legal teeth at all.

 

We will see I am quite content to play the waiting game with these cowboys.

Great information on this site. Keep up the good work

A couple of months back i got two parking tickets from a particular PPC both were different times/locations within the space of a month. I’ve been ignoring all letters from them but keeping them filed away in a drawer

I’m due to move house next week so won’t be living at the address they have on record any longer.

Obviously I won’t be contacting them to inform them of my change of address. How would I then know if they then decided to take me to court further down the line?

Should I set up a mail forward from my old address to my new one or not bother?

Thanks

HELP!!! i'm in a bit of a pickle.

i parked in a disabled bay at a well known supermarket. i dont normally do this, but i had my grandson with me, and all the mother and baby spaces were taken (by work vans who had NO children... and old people who didn't want to walk that little bit further, also with no children.)

when i returned from my shopping, i was infuriated to find a fixed penalty notice attatched to my car. i had an arguement with the security guard about why it was issued, when there are NO SIGNS up saying FINES WILL BE ISSUED.

yes i was in the wrong, but surely they cannot just fine you without warning signs stating its actually a fineable offence, especially with it not being issued by the council.

 

my husband was going to pay this fine, but upon opening it, my daughter has noticed it hasn't even been filled in.

all there is, is a ref code on the front of the ticket before you open it, and the reg and date.

when you open the ticket, and take out the slip inside which has spaces that say

 

 

vehicle reg. date. time.

vehicle make

location

 

reson for issue

 

operative id

 

IT IS ALL LEFT BLANK.

there is NO writing on it whatsoever.

 

as a mess up on their side, whoever issued the ticket, DID fill it in, but the ticket inside was the WRONG way round, so all markings have gone onto the back where it has payment details, and late payments, queries etc.

as it looks like pencil anyway on the back, you cannot even read the reasons they have put.

surely this is not a legal ticket any more as they have issued me with a blank one in effect.

 

please someone advise me on what to do. i am living in hope that i do not have to pay this company any more money considering they make billions as it is.
