    • 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 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.

Just wondering....

 

My daughter is 18 years old.... older than the 12/13 year-olds that the vaccine is aimed at.... yet has been offered it at school (6th form). She's already been in a relationship as well, so has been sexually active.

 

Does anyone know if there are any real benefits to her having it at her age ?.... after being in a relationship ? We have to have the consent forms back by Wednesday and I'm still sitting on the fence...

Go for Gardasil privately if you can afford it - the Government offered one only offers protection against two strains of papilloma, unlike Gardasil which offers protection against four, and genital warts in addition.

 

Just because she is already sexually active, doesn't mean she can't get HPV and subsequent cancer later on.

Our 13 year old in Scotland was coerced into getting the jab at her school, despite her not wanting it and despite us sending in the permission slip with a big fat "NO" on it.

 

And she is diabetic which we feel adds to the complications.

 

so i would say, if you really dont want your daughter to get jabbed, dont think you are protected by the consent form because that didnt work for us.

 

our story is on my blog ( search for: Tall Skinny Kiwi: HPV vaccination and the coercion of our 13 year old diabetic daughter ) and i think comes out on the papers today

Thanks for your replies...

 

I've not heard of Gardasil.... and don't trust the Government anyway, which is one of the reasons why I'm so hesitant about this. The leaflet says that the NHS HPV jab protects girls who are not sexually active... so I'm wondering if my daughter having the jab at 18 years old is a waste of time... as the implication seems to be that it only protects girls who are not sexually active, which is why the injections are given at a young age. Do you know if Gardasil still offers protection against the disease(s) when a girl is already sexually active ?

 

I'm so sorry to read your story Kiwi.... and I hope there's some kind of comeback for you over this.

hi. i think you should talk to your family physician for advice. what i know is that Gardasil is given in USA and Cervarix in UK but they are related.

 

i do not know if you can get it in Uk but since there are 20 deaths associated with Gardasil, and thousands of serious medical cases induced from the vaccination, you might want to think twice about asking for it.

 

I have heard that the vaccination still works if the patient has not yet contracted the HPV sexually transmitted disease. For a girl who is planning to be sexually active with multiple partners, it is probably a good idea but still not as good as the only proven way to prevent HPV which is a monogamous sexual relationship with a single healthy individual . . . which is what our daughter is looking forward to.

 

but, i am not a doctor. just a father.

The HP virus is strongly linked to cervical cancer, I would have no hesitation in getting my 17 year old vaccinated (although she is sadly no longer a virgin). I think we have to everything possible to protect our youngsters and reduce the incidence of cervical cancer which is a devastating cancer that affects young and not so young folk. I still think we need to push the importance of regular cervical smears, whether vaccinated or not.

 

The issue of consent is a serious one - no one should be vaccinated without consent, I hope complaints have been made through the proper channels.

I'm inclined to let this one pass and not encourage my daughter to be vaccinated now, after all.

 

Poppynurse... I understand about protecting our children as much as possible, but the HPV vaccine doesn't seem to be all it's cracked up to be IMO.

 

From my own viewpoint, I've had a dodgy smear test myself in the past; not through my own promiscuity, but from my ex's... :mad: This was successfully treated before it had the chance to develop into anything serious and some 10 years later, my recent smear test is completely clear.

 

Although my daughter is not promiscuous either... no-one can guarantee how any of her future partners will choose to lead their lives and the only thing I have rammed home to her is the importance of regular STD checks for her own peace of mind. Once she's old enough to have smear tests, then the same priniciple will apply.

 

If the HPV vaccine was offering a higher rate of protection against more strains of the virus than it currently is.... then I would be more inclined to trust it.... but something is holding me back from doing so and I'm inclined to go with that gut instinct for now.

Hi

 

I havent consented to my 12 year old daughter having the vaccine for various reasons but we agreed to look at it again in a few years. But now after what TallSkinnyKiwi has said im worried that they will just go ahead anyway.

A quick google for tallskinnykiwi will allow you to make up you own mind as to whether he / she / it speaks from a position of authority or not. It seems to me that they probably have a google alert which promots them to jump on any internet forum thread that mentions the HPV vaccine.

 

Personally, my family and I will continue to take advice from qualified medical professionals, such as my GP, who has 5 years of university training, the same again in hospital training, and over a decade in general practice, over and above agenda driven FUD from a stranger on the internet, who's daughter may wel be lying to them.

 

But, at the end of the day, it's your (or your childrens' choice) as to whether they are innoculated against a particularly unpleasant disease.

Hi All

 

My daughter is 12 and has just had the 1st of the 3 hpv jabs last week i read alot up on it and i watched that programme that jane moore did on tv and most people are for it my way of thinking at the end of the day was it is a new vaccination i,m sure there was the same concerns amongst parents when the tetanus,polio,mmr etc etc came out now there are not many parents who would not give thier child these jabs

 

I can not personally take the chance of me saing no to this vaccination and then god forbid my daughter developes cervical cancer when she is older as for already sexually active the nurse at my daughters school doing the jabs asked all the girls if there was a chance they could be pregnant :eek:

 

So i am not sure it matters

Having the vaccination wont mean that your daughter will be protected against cervical cancer.

 

Maybe in a year or two when there is more data available we will take the decision to have it done....both my children have had all of their vaccinations up till now, so im not against vaccinations.

well, its true - i am not a medical professional as it pointed out. i am just a father of a daughter jabbed against her will and mine. and i am just learning about all this HPV stuff

 

but does that really disqualify me from having an opinion?

 

and the fact that I am a Christian should not really come into it. If i was an atheist, i would still be really upset and would still wonder why the law was broken to push an agenda through.

 

if you will only listen to a medical doctor, then do a google search for teh book called "The Truth About Vaccines: How We Are Used as Guinea Pigs Without Knowing It" by a medical expert Dr Richard Halvorsen

 

He was quoted on yesterdays article on the Sunday Express "Girl Gets Sex Jab against will" [front page] about our daughter as saying that he would not give this injection to his own daughter.

 

i tend to agree with him, but . . . we each need to figure it our for ourselves, dont we?

Also to bear in mind, they do have the weight of authority, evidence and knowlege on their side.

 

Having the vaccination will mean that your daughter will be protected against 70% of cervical cancers.
Fixed that for you there.

Which data in particular are you waiting for? Live epedemiology studies? I doubt that these will have any significant deviation from existing studies and clinical trials.

 

I'm not sure I understand the reluctance being displayed.

No. But neither does not lend any authority to that opinion.

How does that have any relevance? Why bring it up in the first place?

It is evident that Halvorsen has an agenda. He makes money by perpetuating the myth that combined vaccination is bad. Each and every claim that he, and other antivaccinationists makes about combined vaccines have been solidly refuted, through evidence based reasoning.

 

Should your daughter have been vaccinated against her will? No - Probably not. But we've only heard one side of that particular story, and I am calling your credibility into question.

My Real Name - Why quote what I wrote, then edit it?
I was correcting your statement.

Having the vaccination wont mean that your daughter will be protected against cervical cancer.
That is a false statement. I fixed it to read:

Having the vaccination will mean that your daughter will be protected against 70% of cervical cancers.

Hence the "Fixed that for you there".

 

I dont know about anyone else on this thread but I find you quite aggresive.....thankfully I have just located my ignore list so that should remedy that.
One of the perils of the written word is that intonation, inflection, and nuance is lost. The reader will often infer meaning that is entirely different to what the author wishes to convey.

 

To illustrate, I could infer that you are thankful, because you are unable to enter into a reasoned discussion, or I could infer that you are thankful because you do not want to listen to opinion that contradicts your own.

 

Either way, it's you prerogative, to which you are entirely welcome. Odd that you should feel the need to inform me, as opposed to just ignoring me and being done with it.

I for one agree with My Real Name.

 

Most vaccines have side effects, yes. But in ALL cases(and I do mean all) the benefits of having the vaccines far outweigh the risks, and the risks of not having the vaccine affects all.

 

We can clearly have an opinion. However, it has to be said, that compared to the EXPERT opinion, our opinions are quite clearly not as valid as the years of research, and the consensus of opinion, from the experts in the field.

 

Speaking as someone who (unwittingly) allowed their partner to have exposure to HPV, I only wish the vaccine had been around 10 years ago.

Some interesting points here.... but having been let down by both the legal profession and the medical profession, I put my trust in no-one on the basis of a few letters after their name.... and the Gov. will always play down what it doesn't want you to know.

 

Sceptical ? Very. On a very different note.... I've been slamming the over-use of Ritalin for years.... and look what's happened there. :cool:

 

Each to their own though.... I do understand the arguments for the vaccine, but while it still leaves room for cervical cancer to develop, only deals with 2 (most common) out of 13 papillomavirus and, the need for smear tests is just as relevant as without it.... I'm still inclined to pass.

 

Had my daughter been born just one week earlier, she wouldn't have been offered it anyway.

But PO - the aim of the vaccine is not to "prevent" smear tests, but to "prevent" some cancers. I fail to see the argument - some protection has to be better than no protection.

The problem with vaccines is that there is much more publicity given to their side effects than their successes. There are a number of reasons for this, not least of which is that it is human nature to seek out flaws in things. However, there is also the fact that there is no story behind the success. In 40 years time, headline "HPV vaccine - does what it said it would" is not really a story. But be rest assured, behind every "scaremonger" story about some child who has become ill or died(tragic as this is), or has developed some form of side effect, there will be many stories of people who die of WHOLLY PREVENTABLE cancer, due to them missing the vaccine - we just dont hear about these people as it is classed as "natural causes".

I do understand your point Mr Shed....but as a mother, I feel as if I'm being railroaded into a decision that I'm not entirely comfortable with. I need to look into the issue more thoroughly and if that means paying to go privately at a later date after I've been able to make an informed choice, then so be it.
