      ParkingEye/DCB(L) ANPR PCN no.1. 15/09/2020 - Letter of Claim now Claimform - - Hallsville Quarter, London Basement And Surface

      By Karalius · Posted

      Hello, Following the submission of my defense, last night I received an email from DCBL indicating that the claimant intends to proceed with the claim (I've attached a screenshot of the email for reference) along with the N180 directions questionnaire. I'm unsure how they obtained my email, but I suspect it was through the courts' form when I completed the Acknowledgment of Service. This email almost slipped my attention. I have also today received a letter from court to state they have received my defense.  It appears they are requesting an online telephone hearing with the court. Could you please advise me on the necessary steps I should take at this point? Thank you for your assistance. Letter-Email 25-04-24.pdf N180 - Directions questionnaire (Small Claims Track).pdf

      HFC Marbles credit card SD - was dismissed as voluntary joint charge provided - now owed by Cabot - settled at home sale - was i overcharged?

      By tedney · Posted

      Default Amount £9237.88, all this started in 2006 Admitted debt £9075.65 Weightmans added £1515.01 immediately they became involved, no explanation The Statement shows when Marlin bought debt in May 2011 £10439.25 Their statements, not received until the SAR, are based on this. Cabot deducted £1515.01on their statements in January 2019, again did not find this out until SAR. Weightmans added in  2007 after the CH1 etc was confirmed by the court £741.50, made up of Process server fees, Court Fee (they tried for bankruptcy), Solicitors fee and Land Registry fee. Unspecfied Legal costs were added by Marlin in March 2015, again I did not know this until statements received with SAR I had been paying monthly, without exception until December 2018. I am minded to take the property charge, CH1 amount ,deduct all my payments and the subsequent fees, and request/demand a refund on the final payment made? I consistently disputed Weightmans balances, but they never responded. I also told Mortimer Clarke/Cabot that I disputed their amounts.

      Sorry,  I'm not familiar with terminology.  Direction questionnaire is what I've seen online as next step. Witness statement: I haven't gone that far, that's why I put the question marks.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Well it's pretty much MBNA bashing, combined with a bit of working out if agreements are enforceable, a bit more MBNA bashing, then something random seems to happen and we all end up going off on a tangent for a bit, then back onto agreements and DN's, finishing with a bit of ridiculing MBNA:D

 

You're going to have to be a bit more specific with what bit you're after a summary of...:D;)

Oh Ok, thanks for the info. Have we come to the conclusion that the MBNA pre 2006 agreement is a farce then? That would be great wouldnt it? I have over 15k stuck on a card with them and they are really turning the screw on me.

 

Check out my post re: Interest rate rise with option to fix the rate!

 

Anyone had anything like this from them? Can they do this?

 

obviously - the best thing is to fix the rate but knowing that the amount of 15k at 25.9% will be stuck on the life of the card is hard to swollow if later on the rates drop! Could this be the plan, to get high borrowing customers to stick to a high rate and drop the APR to a lower point later on when we have all fixed our rates?

 

Please take a look at my thread - should be at the top somewhere.

 

Thanks again.

Kor

"i would be putting the account in dispute and seeking the guidance of the FOS FSA and CC"

 

 

I would rather use CAG - lot more sense and action.

 

GK

 

As an aside thinking about the word bit reminded me that the word with the longest definition in the OED is 'set'

 

 

"forumbox_top_left.gifforumbox_top_tile.gifforumbox_top_right.gifforumbox_left_tile.gif The Financial Ombudsman Service For the most part, don't bother.

The Ombudsman is an industry arranged service which is under-resourced, takes too long, lacks clear transparency.

You have no idea what evidence the FOS has received from the bank or how your complain has really been handled.

The FOS is the preferred complaints route for the banking industry.

The county court is to be preferred by consumers for its speed, openness, the quality of its awards and also because it will award 8% interest on top of any damages won by you.

 

The Ombudsman should normally be used to solving little technical difficulties or customer service problems which you have expereinced with your bank."

 

Where did that ^^^^ come from?

Hello Landy!

 

Could be interesting, the more samples we can dig out, the better.

 

Maybe CitizenB can start adding Card Carriers to the Thread that she is building up showing a nice collection of dubious MBNA Agreements.

 

But the Card Carrier issue is one that we must not let them get too excited about...the main issue as far as pre-CCA 2006 Agreements are concerned, is they must have a piece of paper signed by the Consumer, that contains the Prescribed Terms within the four corners of it.

 

The Card Carrier nonsense is just a diversion, and a classic example of the Debt Industry trying to reverse engineer The Consumer Credit Act 1974 into The Debt Industry Protection Act 2009.

 

The real danger is a few more bungs to the grasping self-serving politicians, and the above could happen! They managed to castrate s127(3) in The Consumer Credit Act 2006, so who knows what they have planned for the next version.

 

Cheers,

BRW

 

Any changes they bring in couldn't be applied retrospectively, though, could they?:eek:

 

The last changes werent retrospective, UD:)

 

And always....sent it Recorded, or they are quite happy to outright lie and say it's not been received.

 

And even then they will swear black is white that they didnt receive it:rolleyes:

 

BRW, there are a couple of card carriers on the MBNA Doc thread.. but if people have others, please be good enough to pm me with a link to a post or the photobucket link and I will be more than happy to get them included. The more information we have in the library, the better.

 

Chalk itup.. yes, I agree there are some mailers that had t&cs included on the back, but I believe there were docs that folded into 3 , not the single fold.

 

I think there is still a question to be answered here. All of us signed the doc and sent it back. None of us it would appear, have had a copy returned to us with the companies signature. Should this have happened. Very few of us had the sense to photocopy the darn thing before returning it.

Agree totally :-D

 

I love looking through my grandads old b&w pics... they just seem to convey more the moods of people, I find without colour you tend to examine the peoples faces and scenery more to try and work out the atmosphere of the pic...anyway I'm rambling now :-(

oh decisions decisions, my OH has one of the "agreements" from her sony card, that used to be BOS but was sold to MBNA, that doesn't have the prescribed terms.

 

They also terminated 6 days before the expiration of the Default Notice, and have charged over £1800 in charges and associated interest.

 

I think we are going for charges and unlawfull termination damages ;)

 

Don't ya just love MBNA? they don't seem to be able to get anything right!

GKTP,

 

With reference to you post 1032 while i agree with you in the most part i still think the regulatory bodies should be made aware and find out what there take is on this practice

 

And i also agree this site does a 110% job in helping us folk out but unless we inform the authorities nothing will be done to change it.

 

As you know this country has to kick up a stink to get anything done

Hi PF,

 

I can see that but still think it is better to kick butt and then tell the authorities. I do not intend to sit and react for 6 years till they 'drop off' through SB I intend to go for them and force the issue.

 

I am sure that CMCs are working that way

Hi MBNA caggers

 

Have they changed tactics?

 

Just received a DN and the amount to remedy is the TOTAL balance :eek::eek:

 

Any ideas what will happen next ?

 

 

I have had the same today, a default notice that says the have already reported a default to CRA's and they want the full balance by 25/06/09 :lol:

 

This is definately a default notice, very odd. They say I am in breach of paragraph 8f of my agreement ???? No 8f on my application form :lol:
