    • 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 I have received several calls from this company and letters asking for a dept to be paid that is over 6 years old, the debt was taken out in my husbands name but they are saying as a joint house holder they can pursue me for the debt. I asked if I could set up a payment plan and they refused saying they will be making me bankrupt and I will lose my house, the debt is for 2K. I then received a statutory demand through the post This was dated 06/11/08. Today I have received a letter from a company call phoenic claims consultants saying they have been directed to serve me with a Bankruptcy order dated 30 December issued under the insolvency act and issued by 1st credit and that they want to attend at my home on 19 January at 09.30 for the purpose of serving the bankruptcy petition and that if I fail to attend the appointment an application will be made to the court for an order of substituted service by way of advertisement in the daily press.

Can anyone advise what I should do.

I am no legal person by any means, but holding one person to ransom over anothers debt just doesn't sound right to me.

 

 

Did you act as guarantor or was it a joint application ?

 

 

If not i do not see how they can do this:mad:

You really shouldn't be speaking to these people at all. Insist on everything in writing, if they ring you, decline to answer any security questions.

 

Now, this alleged debt. What is it, loan/cc, secured/unsecured, in your husbands name presumably, when was it taken out ?, daft question but why are they discussing it with you and not he ?.

 

When was the alleged debt last acknowledged either in writing or by making a payment ?, it it was over 6 years ago then it is statute barred, end of story.

 

Have you CCA'd them yet, if not, do so, letter N in the templates section, make it crystal clear the £1 POSTAL ORDER is for the CCA, not for the alleged debt (thus setting the clock ticking again). Don't sign letter N, print name only. Never heard of Phoenic Claims Consultants (anyone ???).

Can you make it clear please if you OR your husband have definitely NOT made a payment in the last 6 years or acknowledged this (5 years in Scotland).....If so then this will be defended quite easily. You are outside the 18 days for the defence of the stat demand, you could submit the stat demand out of time if you pay I think a £35 fee. However even at a BR hearing my feeling is that you would be able to set this aside....is it possible you can scan up the demand and the last letter from Phoenix (minus the personal details).....I have to say that this is totally against the CPUTR and the OFT guideline. Do you know who the alleged original creditor is ? We can definitely help....

Hi

Thank you for your replies. The debt was orignally a car loan agreement financed by the Halifax that my husband took out, it was taken out more than 6 years ago and was unsecured, we have not made a payment for about 8 years. they have never tried to contact my husband at all by letter or phone he still lives with me. I have only dealt with them on the phone and I haven't put anything in writing. When they first made contact with me I told them the debt was my husbands and not mine but they have said that because we are joint owners of the property they can pursue me for the money. When they sent the statutory demand because it scared me I rang them to see if I could set up a payment plan because I am worried about losing my property, they flatly refused saying unless I make the full payment I will definately lose my property. I haven't received any legal documents except the stat demand which I have scanned for you no other documents were included or letters. I have scanned the letter from Phoenix for you. I have not CCA'd them yet. What should I do about the appointment on Monday, I definately wont be home so should I ring and make another appointment to buy some time or just ignore it. Thanks for any help you can give me I am at my wits end!

Hi there, thanks for the info. Please don't do anything until 42man is back on line and can take a look at the documents. Try not to worry too much, I'm sure you'll get the advice you need.

Thanks cymruambyth I have removed the references.

Another piece of information I would like to add is they refused to let me speak to Mr Silcock saying that he doesn't take calls he just files the bankrupcy orders.

Can anyone advise is it legal for them to refuse to talk to my husband about this as this was his debt not mine, whenever they have phoned in the past and my husband has gone on the phone they refuse to speak to him and hang up, because they are very intimidating with me on the phone and have scared me I have changed my telephone number and gone ex directory so they can no longer contact me. I didn't apply to have the stat demand set aside because I cannot afford a solicitor.

Have they breached dpa at all by disclosing my husbands debt to me?

Can someone please advise urgently what I should do about the appointment on monday, I am more scared of the man that will be coming to see me than I am about going to court, I don't like any kind of confrontation, if he is simply going to hand me a letter and go that would be okay but from my past experiences with them I don't think it will be that simple. My husband is saying that he will wait outside the house for him and refuse to let them in or speak to me and insist they deal with him can he do that, I am getting really scared that there is going to be a huge confrontation outside my house on monday. I think the reason they are pursuing me is because it is easier to bully a woman in her fifties than a man. To be honest if I had the money I would just give to them and get it over with.

Stebads it CERTAINLY is wrong to not let your husband speak to the Cretin who issued the demand. This in itself would be a good reason to have got this set aside. Make sure you have a note of dates and times you called Silcock. Hopefully 42 man will be back shortly with more advice. In the meantime do not worry too much. If the alleged debt is Statute Barred then you will have a good defence against the bankruptcy petition and will probably be able to claim costs etc of these mongrels.

I have googled Phoenix on the web and they appear to be an insurance company, the letter says if I fail to attend the above appointment an application will be made to the court for an order of substituted service of the said bankruptcy petition by way of ADVERTISEMENT IN THE DAILY PRESS or in such a manner as the court may direct. What does this mean exactly! Will my bankruptcy be advertised for all to see!

Hi there, I know this is a terribly stressful time for you, and each time you read these documents you will find it more worrying. Put them to one side for a little while - I know when 42man is back on line he will be able to give you the best advice and all the rest of us will support you all the way.

 

Your situation does seem retrievable as there are so many things they have done wrong along the way.

Mr D Silcock strikes again eh?

 

This guy is as hard to contact as Ellie Renshaw, the famous Capital One ERC manager,

 

If the debt hasnt been paid for over 6 years then its statute barred and that is an absolute defence to any petition for bankruptcy.

 

I have a case running at the mo which i cannot say too much about but suffice to say the press, the OFT and Gareth Thomas will all hear about the out come when we have finished as our client wants to nail them to the floor

 

as Ell-enn says, wait till 42man comes back online, and please try not to worry i know its easy to say but this situation is very recoverable

Can you record a phonecall with them saying that? If the person named on the statutory demand for you to contact cannot be then that is grounds for the statutory demand to be non compliant.

See above. Try not to panic................

 

 

Can you please clarify for me:

 

Whose name was the loan agreement in?

Who is the Statutory demand addressed to? (i.e you or your husband)

Date last payment made on the debt.

Who is the Phoenix letter addressed to?

Loan agreement in my husbands name

statutory demand addressed to me

Can't recall exactly the date last payment made my husband thinks it was about 8 years ago to the halifax

letter addressed to me

 

 

Then relas

 

1. The loan agreement isn't in your name and you can't be held liable for your husbands debt (unless you personally guaranteed it)

 

2. It's time barred under the Statute of Limitations.

 

They will not be able to get a bankruptcy order against you.

 

The can't serve it through the post either. It has to be personally served or they have to make an application to court to allow an alternative means of service such as post or advertising.............

Please shout if they do decide to post a petition to you, and try not to worry. As has been said before the debt is barred by the statute of limitations act, and you are not responsible for your husbands debt. It will cost them a significant amount to file papers for bankruptcy for a case they will surely lose !!!
