    • 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.

I write this on behalf of my fiancee, together we recently took the step to sort out our financial problems, by consulting a debt company who have worked with us to sort out troubles out. We started this last October and it took a few montsh before all the debts were organiosed properly, we are maintaining the one montly payment, no problem with that, thew companies concerned are even accepting the payments, that is all but one company, HSBC.

 

My fiancee had a loan, the outstanding amount would be less than £7K, she had kept up with the repayments, she also had a credit card close to its limit of £10K. HSBC accepted the amount offered by the debt company, but are apparently refusing the amount offered on the loan, stating the offer is less than 1% yet the amount accepted on other HSBC debts is less than 1%.

 

I believe this to be a delaying tactic so that further interest can be accumulated to the account before they eventually send it to one of their debt collection companies so that our own debt consolidation company can sort out the details.

 

However, this is causing extreme distress to my fiancee, many times sher has broken down in tears asking wqhy they are being so awkward about this, when all wer want to do it, pick up the pieces.

 

What makes this so much worse, the constant PHONECALLS, 08007 numbers, 3 or 4 times a day, neither of us answer the phone, I cant becuase I am now working away, but my fiancee is scared to, she has been advised that any contacvt should be directed to our debt consolidation company, but HSBC will not back off, they keep phoning up, they never leave a message and I mean, NEVER. so when you think that we have been getting these phonecalls since October/November time, almost every day (they do it every day for a couple iof weeks then leave it a few days before starting again for another few weeks), that is a lot of phonecalls and unnecessary stress, when they are still accepting the payments made, but not agreeing to the payments. We have already changed the number and dont really want the hassle again, so any advice would be really appreciated on how to deal with this.

 

Many thanks

Hiya Rick and welcome to the HSBC forum :). This thread should sort out your harassment problems :)

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/debt-collection-industry/99361-you-being-harassed-telephone.html

 

Have you asked all of your creditors for details of any charges on your accounts and loans? its amazing how these build up over time and a recovery claim can drastically reduce what you actually owe.

 

I recommend you look into this avenue by sending them all an SAR letter and send a Consumer Credit Act s77/78 letter to your credit card and loan companies :).

Good morning everyone...

 

I have used Money Claim Online and found it very good - unless you need to get a warrant issued........!

 

Just a general thought...why are we not looking at the problem as far as regaining our charges and the information relating to them from another angle....see The Fraud Act 2006.....!!:grin:

 

Copy of letter sent today to Mackenzie Hall....

First Class recorded delivery

 

Re: M XXXXXX

 

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to your company or any other person

 

I have today received your unsigned letter dated 9/5/2008. I will not be making any payment to you.

I will not be calling you. This is because I do not carry out any financial business on the telephone, all business between us must be in writing.

It is necessary to draw your attention to my letter to you dated 9th May 2008, sent by recorded delivery first class mail.

Royal Mail have confirmed receipt by you of this letter.

This letter required certain information from you – that information is still outstanding.

In the meantime, the contents of your letter dated 9th May 2008 constitute an offence under The Fraud Act 2006 .

 

The appropriate sections read:

 

Section 1. Subsection (3) sets out the penalties for the offence. The maximum custodial sentence of 10 years is the same as for the main existing deception offences and for the common law crime of conspiracy to defraud.

 

This section makes it an offence to commit fraud by false representation

Subsection (1)(b) requires that the person must make the representation with the intention of making a gain or causing loss or risk of loss to another. The gain or loss does not actually have to take place. The same requirement applies to conduct criminalised by sections 3 and 4. Subsection (2) defines the meaning of "false" in this context and subsection (3) defines the meaning of "representation". A representation is defined as false if it is untrue or misleading and the person making it knows that it is, or might be, untrue or misleading. Subsection (3) provides that a representation means any representation as to fact or law, including a representation as to a person's state of mind.

Subsection (4) provides that a representation may be express or implied. It can be stated in words or communicated by conduct. There is no limitation on the way in which the representation must be expressed. So it could be written or spoken or posted on a website.

Subsection (5) provides that a representation may be regarded as being made if it (or anything implying it) is submitted in any form to any system or device designed to receive, convey or respond to communications (with or without human intervention). The main purpose of this provision is to ensure that fraud can be committed where a person makes a representation to a machine and a response can be produced without any need for human involvement.

 

Section 3. makes it an offence to commit fraud by failing to disclose information to another person where there is a legal duty to disclose the information. A legal duty to disclose information may include duties under oral contracts as well as written contracts. The concept of "legal duty" is explained in the Law Commission's Report on Fraud, which said at paragraphs 7.28 and 7.29:

"7.28 ..Such a duty may derive from statute (such as the provisions governing company prospectuses), from the fact that the transaction in question is one of the utmost good faith (such as a contract of insurance), from the express or implied terms of a contract, from the custom of a particular trade or market, or from the existence of a fiduciary relationship between the parties (such as that of agent and principal).

7.29 For this purpose there is a legal duty to disclose information not only if the defendant's failure to disclose it gives the victim a cause of action for damages, but also if the law gives the victim a right to set aside any change in his or her legal position to which he or she may consent as a result of the non-disclosure. For example, a person in a fiduciary position has a duty to disclose material information when entering into a contract with his or her beneficiary, in the sense that a failure to make such disclosure will entitle the beneficiary to rescind the contract and to reclaim any property transferred under it."

 

Section 5. defines the meaning of "gain" and "loss" for the purposes of sections 2 to 4. The definitions are essentially the same as those in section 34(2)(a) of the Theft Act 1968 and section 32(2)(b) of the Theft Act (Northern Ireland) 1969. Under these definitions, "gain" and "loss" are limited to gain and loss in money or other property. The definition of "property" which applies in this context is based on section 4(1) of the Theft Act 1968 (read with section 34(1) of that Act) and section 4(1) of the Theft Act (Northern Ireland) 1969 (read with section 32(1) of that Act). The definition of "property" covers all forms of property, including intellectual property, although in practice intellectual property is rarely "gained" or "lost".

 

Section 6 makes it an offence for a person to possess or have under his control any article for use in the course of or in connection with any fraud. This wording draws on that of the existing law in section 25 of the Theft Act 1968 and section 24 of the Theft Act (Northern Ireland) 1969. (These provisions make it an offence for a person to "go equipped" to commit a burglary, theft or cheat, although they apply only when the offender is not at his place of abode.) The intention is to attract the case law on section 25, which has established that proof is required that the defendant had the article for the purpose or with the intention that it be used in the course of or in connection with the offence, and that a general intention to commit fraud will suffice. In R v Ellames 60 Cr. App. R. 7 (CA), the court said that:

"In our view, to establish an offence under s 25(1) the prosecution must prove that the defendant was in possession of the article, and intended the article to be used in the course of or in connection with some future burglary, theft or cheat. But it is not necessary to prove that he intended it to be used in the course of or in connection with any specific burglary, theft or cheat; it is enough to prove a general intention to use it for some burglary, theft or cheat; we think that this view is supported by the use of the word 'any' in s 25(1). Nor, in our view, is it necessary to prove that the defendant intended to use it himself; it will be enough to prove that he had it with him with the intention that it should be used by someone else."

Subsection (2) provides that the maximum custodial sentence for this new offence is 5 years.

 

Section 7 makes it an offence to make, adapt, supply or offer to supply any article knowing that it is designed or adapted for use in the course of or in connection with fraud, or intending it to be used to commit or facilitate fraud. For example, a person makes devices which when attached to electricity meters cause the meter to malfunction. The actual amount of electricity used is concealed from the provider, who thus makes a loss. Subsection (2) provides that the maximum custodial sentence for this offence is 10 years.

In the Magistrates Court the sentence for a single offence may not exceed 12 months. However, Section 78 of Powers of Criminal Courts Act (Sentencing) Act 2000 imposes a maximum of six months. This was due to be changed in November 2006 and will change if Section 154 Criminal Justice Act 2003 is activated. As at 16 January 2007 it has not been activated so the maximum penalty is restricted to six months.

 

Section 8: "Article"

Section 8 extends the meaning of "article" for the purposes of sections 6 and 7 and certain other connected provisions so as to include any program or data held in electronic form. Examples of cases where electronic programs or data could be used in fraud are: a computer program can generate credit card numbers; computer templates can be used for producing blank utility bills; computer files can contain lists of other peoples' credit card details or draft letters in connection with 'advance fee' frauds.

 

Section 12 repeats the effect of section 18 of the Theft Act 1968. It provides that if persons who have a specified corporate role are party to the commission of an offence under the Act by their body corporate, they will be liable to be charged for the offence as well as the corporation. By virtue of subsection (2)(a) and (b) this offence applies to directors, managers, secretaries and other similar officers of companies and other bodies corporate. Subsection (3) provides that if the body corporate charged with an offence is managed by its members the members involved in management can be prosecuted too.

 

Itis now too late to reverse your position, as a report has today been passed to the OFT.However, I am conscious of the possibility that their enquiries may be protracted and so therefore I have today made a formal complaint to the Police, providing a S.9 Witness Statement, together with first generation copies (taken by the Police) from the documents you sent to my address. My request for this matter to be investigated under the Fraud Act 2006 has been accepted and enquiries are today commencing.

 

Sorry this post is a bit lengthy...but does anyone have any comments? I think Section 3 applies particularly to ALL Financial Institutions.

Best wishes to you all

I began to get HSBC 0800 phonecalls the other week (them ringing me about 5 times a day every day). I went into the branch and sorted everything out (which was simply that I had not paid any money into my overdraft for two months(I was not over the limit though), and I requested they do not correspond with me by telephone which they agreed to. It didn't stop the phonecalls.

After a few more days of getting VERY annoyed, I answered the phone and told them I have never heard of the person they were asking for and that this was not the correct phone number and I was extremely annoyed at the continual harrassment of phonecalls from this number. They were very apologetic and I have had no more phonecalls since.

Thanks rdm2006 (is that your initials, if so, we share the same), your advice is just wanted I was hoping for, hopefully it should do the trickm but we may just go to OFCOM as well with this as it has been going on now for so many months, when by all accounts, they shouldn't even be dealing with us anymore, but the debt consolidation firm.

We had considered an IVA with one company, but for some really insane reason, the repayemnts they wanted us to make would have ended up with us paying actually a lot more than we owed, so didn't understand that at all, the company we are with now, Churchwood, have been absolutely brilliant, got everything organised with the exception of this one loan account with, but that's HSBC for you, always been problems with them. But Churchwood have suggested that is we keep up repayments like we are doing, then an IVA with them may be considered later this year once my own business is sorted out.

 

As it was, our final alternative was bankruptcy, which we didn't want, but it was a last resort, but Churchwood were there and they helped us both a lot, so would recommend them anyway.

 

RDM, thanks, we have also contacted Churchwood this afternoon and they agree the approach to OFCOM would be justified for us, so we shall be following that through.

 

All the best

If you have online banking, log in and remove all your contact phone number details.

 

Also demand that they remove phone contact details when they next call.

 

I did this, and now only get letters from them. Havent had a phone call from HSBC in over a month!

Mailmannz's advice works - Went I was with HSBC, I changed my online banking profile to include an un-used VoIP number that saved voicemails as MP3 files and logged all calls etc. It appears that their dialer feeds of those details and takes effect almost immediately.

 

Alternatively, the "I will only communicate with you regarding this matter in writing..." line repeated until they hang up is always a good'un.

My fiancee would, and as much as that idea does raise an eyebrow for amusement factor, she hasn't logged into her bank account for almost 8 months when we did the debt consolidation, she was advised to change banks, which she did, so has since forgotten her log in details.

 

It is distressing to her and I am very tempted to answer the phone and just have a blast at them, it's ridiculous when they should generally just be dealing with the consolidation company, but it would appear that they are trying to hold on for as long as possible, whihc is also adding more interest to the loan no doubt.

 

I have contacted OFCOM twice using the online forms, but fear this wont do much, so might just write a letter to HSBC as advised above, they must be in breach of something for this.

 

I do appreciate everyones feedback, it's been great and certainly useful.

Thanks

Change of Tactics now:

It would appear that HSDBC may be changing their tactics by trying to get my fiancee to call up someone by the name of Mr Ellison on 0161 972 4170

 

Why dont they just deal with the debt management company instead of this constant harrassement? Had my fiancee in tears this morning, but at least they left a friggin message for once.

Hi CS

Did you send the Telephone Harassment Letter that RDM put on #4 ?

 

If so you shouldn't be getting those calls - if your fiancee is on a different number then consider sending the same letter from her....

Then if they persist - report them!

I reported them to Ofcom twice, then Office of Fair Trading who have now passed it over to Trading Standards.

 

Trading Standards are now on the case and should be getting back to me within the next 5 working days.

 

Obviously I shall keep updating the progress, but again this morning, my fiancee had another message asking her to call this Mr Ellison on the same number. She has been advised not to.

Did you get any response from OfCom, CS ? Be nice to know if they're interested ...........

 

This Mr Ellison seems to be a persistent.........er ... fellow :rolleyes:....needs to be told firmly (but politely LOL!) to back off.... I think the only effective way is to put it in writing and send recorded delivery - so somebody has to sign for it.

Keep us posted on Trading Standards response, that'll be another learning curve..........
