    • 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 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.

    • 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 can't recommend fax as a verifiable means of delivery - I'd stick to registered or recorded post. It's too easy for the oppo to say it didn't come through, as fax technology varies so much these days with memory storage etc.

 

You may have a point there - I've never had a problem with fax transaction reports BUT this is Turnbull Rutherford - so perhaps Recorded is best - I'd probably still fax it as well

OK, I have now sent the deffence by fax and by recorded to Thurnbull.

I have sent CPR letter to Thurnbull by fax and by recorded.

 

All I have to send now is The Request for further particulars. IGNM, I will wait for you to help me with that one.

I think that is it for the moment?

What is the next step I suppose the Allocation Questionare will be here soon, do I remember correctly that Thurbull would have to pay a fee for that one?

 

Cheers

My Questionaire needs to be in by the 7th May. I will as for help with this later on next week. Am I correct yhat Thurnbull would have to file a fee with their questionaire to take things further?

 

Many Thanks

Been away for a few days and just catching up. Panks I think you are in good hands here with IGNM (I've Got No Money).

 

Remember this is who blinks first. They are trying to harrass and bully you into giving in. You won't be doing that will you? We're all here to help you. I know the different info gets a bit confusing but these discussions are vital as we get to the essential truth in the end.

 

This lot will discontinue - I'd put money on it. Have just been through this same stuff elsewhere on CAG and may be different DCA but their MO is identical.

 

Also HFO are under serious investigation by the OFT and could face being put out of business - let's hope so.

 

Good work and steady does it Panks.

Hello Again,

 

I have received the Allocation Questionaire from the courts. I have until the 7th of May. I am assuming that the same date should apply to Thurnbull? Does anyone know what Oxford County Court is like? Are they a leanient as Northampton or are they a bit stricter with the deadlines?

 

I have no idea what to do with this AQ so help would be appreciated. Do I just fill in the and return it or do I also have to attatch all the documents I am to rely on in court?

IGNM, I have not received any reply at all from Thurnbull regarding my amended defence. I will wait until Friday. Then what should I do? Send them the letter again giving them a further seven days or I will apply to the court?

 

Cheers

 

PS. Attatching the AQ

Basically, you should tick the boxes that state you prefer to settle out of court. As for your defence, if HFO have stated the assignment date as 12 March 2009, all you need do is put them to proof by stating that you neither admit nor deny their allegation that any original lender assigned your account to HFO capital on that date.

You also need to allocate it to the fast track and to seek directions that the claimant comply with your CPR 31 request. You could also mention that there is an outstanding Part 18 request.

 

At AQ you don't attach any documents - except any Part 31 requests that you've made and have not been complied with. In fact you could ask in the AQ for an Order that the Proceedings are stayed until they comply with your Part 31 and your Part 18 requests

 

They have to file by the same date and have to pay a fee...I don't know whether Oxford is better than Northampton BUT at this stage - as you'll be chasing HFO/RT if at possible you should comply with the time limits.

 

You may as well get it off to court today

Right,

 

What about this? I have no idea what to put.

 

a1 = yes

a2 = no

a3 = yes

 

b = no

 

c = yes, I have had no request from anybody for any documents

 

d amount = £xxx

Applications = no

Witnesses = me , what do I put in Witness of the fact?

Experts = no on all

Track= fast track - do I need to enter anything in the box attached to the track? Is fast track normal?

 

Trial or final hearing

How long do I estimate it to take?

 

F Proposed direction - what is this?

G Costs - do I put any cost?

H Fee - do I put yes or no?

 

Do I want to attatch any correspondence?

I have heard nothing about my amended defence and I have head nothing yet for by CPR 31 request.

Part 18 has been requested but deadline is the 10 may so I have not heard anything regarding that either

 

Under Other information Do I intend to make any applications?

 

Should I put anything in the blank box for the judge to concider that will help manage the claim?

 

If I get it all done I will send it today recorded. Should I send a copy to Thurbull as well?

You don't pay a fee

 

You don't need to put a costs estimate in as you are an LIP

 

Time estimate for the trial is half a day

 

All of the claim is in dispute

 

There's only one witness - that's you - witness to everything

 

Pre - action protocols - you put no and in the box Not applicable

 

Where it says proposed directions tick the box that says yes - obviously they're not agreed with the other side so put no to that question.

 

Then on a separate sheet of paper head it proposed directions:-

1. The Claim be stayed until the Claimant comply with the Defendants Requests pursuant to CPR 31 of the (put the date of the first letter) and the CPR Part 18 request of the (date of first letter).

2. If the claimant shall not comply with one above the claim will be struck out automatically and without the necessity for further order upon the expiration of three months from the date of this order

3. If the Claimant shall comply with the CPR 31 and CPR 18 requests the Defendant do have permission to file and serve an amended defence and counterclaim within 21 days of receipt of complete replies to the said requests

4. The Claimant do have permission to file, if advised, a reply and defence to counter claim within 21 days of service of any amended defence

5. The parties shall then, within 14 days of close of pleadings file fresh Allocation Questionnaire

 

Where it asks for other information explain that you have can't file a properly pleaded defence and and that you need more information. Tell the court that you've made two separate CPR requests and attach copies.

I personally wouldn't settle out of court, they have had plenty of time to sort out what you owe, and as mentioned before there is plenty of evidence that out of court settlements get 'forgotten' along the line. Follow IGNM's advice and you should be okay.

OK, I will fill out as above, that sounds very good to me, thank you both, IGNM I appreciate your time as you seem to be very busy with your own case.

Forgot to ask, do I take copies of this and send to Thurnbull as well or do I just send it to the court?

 

Yes - technically you should do - and of course we want to be whiter than white - so send them a copy

 

Don't forget make it recorded del...

Hi Pank

 

You are in good hands with IGNM. The amended defence is great but can I ask a stupid question. Did you change the names to Barclaycard instead of MBNA?

 

Can I also suggest to the mods that this threrad be moved to Legal issues as it is definately in court.

Arrow Global/MBNA - Discontinued and paid costs

HFO/Morgan Stanley (Barclays) - Discontinued and paid costs

HSBC - Discontinued and paid costs

Nationwide - Ran for cover of stay pending OFT case 3 yrs ago

RBS/Mint - Nothing for 4 yrs after S78 request
