    • 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 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.

Hi everyone,

 

I am at the stage of waiting for my statements to come through from Lloyds but I have been keeping up with other threads in this forum and one thing is confusing me, counter claims. can Lloyds do this and on what grounds can they do it? I have been with Lloyds for 15 years now and in the last 5 years I have been in and out and over my ver draft partly due to my own fault and partly down to Lloyds taking out money when it suits them. I am just wondering that with me currently being into my overdraft they can use that as a counter claim, I have been told that they cannot do that but I am just curious.

 

Thanks,

 

Gary

I believe a few counter claims are being made, but still Lloyds have not allowed a case to go to court - they always settle, sometimes at the last minute. At the end of the day they will not stand in front of a judge and reveal how their charges are made up.

 

They do however read this site and keep abreast of activity and are continually looking for ways to stall cases and scare people off. This is just another scare tactic.

 

Please do not be put off by this. If you are clear on why these charges are unlawful then you should still persue your claim.

Thanks for that. I have been advised by others that I should still go ahead with it and i will. I just got caught up in the 'headlights' of the whole thing and thought maybe I was wrong to do this because of my account status at present. I will continue with the process and keep you all up to date as to how it goes. Thanks again.

Agreed with Closey - I am in the position in which LTSB or posturing towards a counterclaim - but after contacting MCOL and the local court. nothing seems to have happened. Although please bear in mind that nothing is a certain thing in this life.

 

I personally am going to continue - what's the worst that can happen!

Like most I don't trust banks all that much anymore. It does seem to make sence that they would avoid court action potentially if the claim is low and for unlawfull charges. Like you said though.....Whats the worst that can happen!

They will do anything to avoid court action whether the claim is £30 or £3000. The banks do not want to reveal how their charges are made up. They will however go to great lengths to scare people off claiming what is rightfully theirs.

 

To be honest the worst that could happen is they do go to court, defend your claim, you loose, and you loose your court costs.....the chances of that happening is so remote.

 

I think there are many people on this site, myself included who would actually love a case to go to court, but we know it won't.

Thanks people, I wont back down. I sent an e-mail to the [email protected] (on Friday and recieved reply today) asking for an update on my Data Protection Act letter since it had been 2 and half weeks, I did this just to confirm my letter had been recieved since I didn't send it recorded post.....I know this was a big mistake. A Mr Kieth Boden from Service Recovery said he will get onto the Copy Statement Unit to ask if it is being delt with. I'll say one thing for Lloyds they seem quicker on the e-mail reply than on the phones.

Hi Gary

 

My situation is exactly the same as yours. I've been a lloyds customer for approx 16 years and for the past 5 or 6 have been constantly overdrawn. My overdraft is £2000.

 

My concern was that they would make me close down my bank account if I claimed back my charges and I would owe them the £2000. I know it is recommended that you open up a new account before you commence with the action to claim back your charges but I was a bit unsure where to go. However I found an account through Alliance and Leicester which offers an account which is 0% interest on your overdraft for the first 12 months - after that it goes up to 5.9% (I think this is the amount - I know it's not any more than this). Considering Lloyds TSB is 18.1% and I am currently paying nearly £30 a month in interest on my overdraft I am seriously tempted to change my account. Obviously i need to look into Alliance and Leicesters charges!!

 

Thought you may be interested in this account.

Thanks for that. I have been looking at Barclays and Natwest but Natwest want 3 months bank statements which at present I dont have. It good to know that there are options out there for opening another account. Its crazy to see how the banks give out over drafts from £500 to £2000 knowing that it just sucks you into it further.

 

Thanks for the tip on Alliance and Leicester, I will look into that this week definately.

 

Gary.

Hi

 

The Alliance and Leicester account is actually recommended on the MoneySavingExpert.com website. But like I say it's best to check out the charges. The Alliance and Leicester site will actually work out how much money you will save in interest in the first year. Plus they have a reasonable interest rate once the interest free period finishes. 18.1% from Lloyds is liking having a store card!!

Hi,

 

I'm in the same boat - £2250 overdraft and constantly living in it! I have another account to which I am begining to transfer all my wages etc but wondering if they'll put any claim I make back into the account then close it! Wouldn't surprise me if they did so I still wouldn't see anything! Barstewards!:wink:

 

Please let me know the outcome!

I see what you mean Katieve. From what I have heard the banks risk of closing your accont is slim, but I understand your fear on this one, I guess it depends on how far into your over draft you are as to how your claim will help you, if you are completely into your £2250 and your claim isn't near that then the money you win gets swollowed up again but not in charges. I am going to look into this more myself. I am sending my prelim letter out today regestered post then see what happens.

Just a quick word of warning on the A&L, the interest figure may be tempting as a comparison with Lloyds, however the standard DD failure charge is £34.00 a go (if the DD is £10 or over). They apply this fee immediately and without fail. I have found them harsher than Lloyds, and when I claimed back my unlawful charges from A&L they closed my account! Out of the frying pan into the fire,

If you can guarantee that your account will stay in credit and no DD or SO failures then sounds like a good account, however...........Can we all hand on heart say that our DD/SO won't bounce!!!!!!!!!??? Good luck

I thought it was too good to be true.

 

Lloyds charge £30 for going overdrawn and £35 for a returned DD - so there isn't really much difference.

 

Not sure what to do about changing my bank account - does anybody know if Lloyds close down your account after getting your money back?

 

Also - not too happy if the money just goes back into my account as was going to use it to pay off my credit card!!! (more debt). I suppose if it did go into my bank account it would clear my overdraft and would save me the £30 a month in interest I'm paying on the £2000 overdraft - I always go up to the limit - and over it!

Hi

 

The bank account with Alliance and Leicester lets you have a £5000 overdraft - 0% interest for the first year - but I have been warned (in this thread) that they are quite harsh with charges etc.

 

If you follow the link in this site to MoneySavingExpert.com they will tell you the best bank account for you - and which ones give you an immediate overdraft facility.

 

I'm a bit stuck as to what to do myself - as the money I get back from Lloyds may be enough to clear my overdraft (which is £2000 same as yours) - or make it a more reasonable amount. I am fed up of paying £30 a month for my overdraft - charged at 18.1% interest.

 

Plus there's the issue of getting credit - how does it affect you if you have a new bank account that you haven't had for very long? as usually one of the questions relates to how long you've had your bank account. I've been with Lloyds for about 16 years.

 

Pity we can't claim back charges for the whole time we've had our bank accounts - I'd be worth a small fortune.
