    • 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.

Hello and help!!

 

I have today received the above notice from Capquest.

 

 

They are handling my debt from Egg for a credit Card Default from 2005 for £2000+

 

 

I was for some time paying them a reduced amount but after reading things on here

and the fact I could not afford to anymore decided to stop paying them.

 

 

I also sent them a request for a CCA agreement last year.

 

 

They replied with a document 2 pages long showing my signature and some brief APR rates.

I have never done anything since and and have now been threatned with this bankruptcy notice

which they seem to be sending to many of their customer base.

 

 

I have ONLY 18 days to respond and really do not want to be made bankrupt.

 

 

Can anyone also tell me if because I made some payments to them does this mean the default

to them will remain on my Credit File for 6 years after my last payment or from the date of the original default?

 

Please please help, 18 days and counting! :sad:

I am now totally frustrated with this thread. I started it and my comments have vanished. Well How am i supposed to find things when folk move them. I was told to get the people involved to register a stay with the courts. Thats Not the right way. CapQuest was expecting them to fork out the £375.00 for it I got a reply to my case saying they have decided

to take no further actions on the Statutory demand and the people can consider the demand withdrawn.

 

They had no intentions of going ahead with the bankruptcy . as it would have cost them about £700 plus cost. Just more bluff and bullying from a DCA.

Its about time that all DCAs played the game within the rules and obey the law as we have to do. What makes them so special as they can get away with things. Come on lets fight for our rights and have no worries about doing the same to them as they do unto us .

 

Regards Blencathra

Looks like we have called it by the same name. Oh well Its the same thing

Dont give in to them if they have no proof of ownership they cannot go ahead. Besides. you have to fork out £375.00 for the pleasure. They have no intentions of paying for it themselves.

 

Just ask them to prove they have ownership of the alleged debt if they have not they cannot go ahead with the actions as the case would be in dispute and they would be in default .. Have you requested them send you a copy of your agreement ?

I would certainly always recommend setting aside a stat demand.....you need to dispute it substantially, whether or not they have provided an agreement with the prescribed terms, default notices in the prescribed manner, notices of assignment, excessive charges on the account.

 

First thing to do is download forms 6.4 (set aside) and 6.5 (affadavit) which can be found here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/86067-getting-statutory-demand-set.html

 

There are no court fees in submitting a set aside, and Capquest never seem to turn up in court. They are hoping that this will scare you into paying, but generally the judiciary do not like the Insolvency service used as a tool for collecting disputed debts....

 

Once you have filled out the forms, you need to call your local county court to check they handle bankruptcies / insolvencies, if they don't then they should be able to tell you the nearest that does.

 

Take the set aside and affadavit in to the court once completed. ask the court staff to swear in your documents and any associated paperwork that you refer to in the affadavit...(this is usually free) but local solicitors will charge £5 to swear in an affadavit, and it normally costs £12 in central London courts. Once this is done, what usually happens is a hearing is set normally 4-6 weeks after you have submitted the documents....

 

As for costs you can claim back £9.25 per hour for research into things like the Insolvency Act / Consumer Credit Act

Mileage at 40p per mile

Postage

Parking

And you can ask the judge to order the alleged creditor to pay your time off work costs if there are any.

 

The costs sheet which should be headed LITIGANT IN PERSON COSTS must be submitted to the courts 24 hours before the hearing (they should be faxed through or posted to be AT THE COURT 24 hours before the hearing)

 

Please do have a read through here as there are many 'won' cases against Capquest... - DCA Legal Successes - The Consumer Forums

 

This is also worth bearing in mind too - A statutory demand must show a named person or persons from the Creditor or their agent/solicitor whom you can contact directly. This is Rule 6.2 of The insolvency Rules 1986.

This means that if the statutory demand doesn't give the name of a person you can speak to then it is not valid. If you try to contact the named person and they won’t put you through then it is also invalid.

 

If you try and call the person named on the demand it is almost certain that you won't be able to get through log the times and dates that you have tried, if you do get to speak to this person, just tell them you will be setting the demand aside and claiming your costs.

 

If the demand is sent by post, then nothing will have effectively been served on you

 

Judge Boggis QC - RE AWAN - [2000] BPIR 241

(1) Service of the should be proved by affidavit.

(b) if substituted service has been ordered, a sealed copy of the order;

and it should be filed in court immediately after service.

'In my judgment, bankruptcy is one of the most serious forms of execution that can be brought against a debtor. In any bankruptcy proceedings it is, in my view, absolutely clear that the provisions as to service must be followed exactly. - JUDGE BOGGIS QC - SITTING AS A JUDGE OF THE HIGH COURT

This too also worth bearing in mind -

Hammonds (a firm) v Pro-Fit USA Ltd [2007] EWHC 1998 (Ch)

 

In this case, Mr Justice Warren confirmed that it was usual for an indemnity award to be made:-

 

27 So far as disputed debts are concerned, the practice of the court is not to allow the insolvency regime to be used as a method of debt collection where there is a bona fide and substantial dispute as to the debt

Hi thanks for the reply, so as the demand was served on me by post and required no signature and no attempt has been made to deliver in person, is there really any need at this stage to set aside? If they do follow it through suddenly in the future is it possible to set aside then as they have not followed procedure? Problem is that the court is a 40 mile round trip that I would rather not have to make. I recently left my last job for many reasons the main one being I suffer from Scheurmans disease which affects the spine and could not get through the 10+ hour days there sat at my computer all day without any real break. I am now working 10 hours a week part time and attempting to set up my own business that allows me the flexibility of breaks and exercise whenever I need it.

 

Secondly can anyone comment on the images I uploaded of the CCA that was sent to me? Is the debt enforceable based on these? :confused:

 

Finally as I made payments in the past have I effectively admitted the debt and will it have to stay on my credit file for 6 years from the date of the last payment or date of the original default or date that they bought the debt? :confused:

 

Please advise.:!:

I disagree with the information to set aside. What CapQuest do is send you a statutory demand for bankruptcy. Telling you to declare yourself bankrupt. at your cost. They have not filed a case against you, If they had then yes a stay would be the right procedure.

 

I have recently challenged that very thing on the grounds that could not provide a cca therefore could not prove ownership of the alleged debt, as a result they could not form a bankruptcy case against anybody.

 

They have written back withdrawing the statutory demand. They had no intentions of going ahead with the case .. It was a scare tactic. Thats all those bully boys and women in the DCAs ever do .

 

The case was in dispute as that stands they could not take any further action.Now they have agreed to fully investigate the whole case and write back. Of course it will be a independent investigation i am sure. you know what the DCAS are like. With a frank and honest reply. Dont hold my breath

Just be warned Capquest are watching this thread as we speak....

 

It is up to you, I can't make the decision for you....and judges vary wildly, however as you can see with these 2 cases (one of which the judge ordered the default to be removed from the OP's files) the more people who oppose them, and DCA's having to pay out costs, the less likely they are to continue to use them, plus a following attempt at a CCJ could possibly be seen as vexatious and unlawful....and i'd always suggest complaining to the OFT too.

Soon DCA's who issue stat demands like this will be in for a shock...!!

 

And this too from the Undersecretary Of State for Trade And Consumer Affairs.

 

"Debt collectors who issue stat demands without giving debtors reasonable opportunities to agree a repayment schedule are likely to be in breach of the OFT's debt collection guidance. This guidance outlines the type of business practice that the OFT consider unfair and therefore incompatible with fitness to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

In addition to this, the government has recently strengthened the OFT regime to give them greater powers to investigate and take action against unscrupulous or incompetent firms. The OFT will be targetting its monitoring and scrutiny activities on debt collectors."

Hi Giveitallbacktome There is nothing to set aside. CapQuest have not filed any case to the courts, only informing you that you should declare yourself bankrupt. They are trying to get you to admit to a debt that they maybe cannot prove they own and have no legal powers to collect. It will cost you about £370 to file a case. CapQuest do not want to pay the cost. How can you set aside with the courts a case that has not been issued.. It is just a threat. If and when they issue the case against, which i doubt very much, then you set aside , but not before. If they send out enough of these type of letters somebody will fall for it eventually Regards Blencathra

I think your agreement would be difficult to argue in front of a judge....and the default will last 6 years from when it was issued by the original creditor.....

Do I need to write back to Capquest stating the CCA they send me is not valid? They sent it to me last year a good 7 or 8 months ago. I have not corresponded since that date and they have just continued to offer all kinds of payment plans which I Just ignored. I'm a little confused as to what to do at this stage, the Bankruptcy form they send has no mention of me declaring myself bankrupt and paying any related fees, it just says I have 18 days to set aside. Are they likely to pursue this?

There are links all over the place and far too much information to take in. Im jmping from pillar to post here and confusing myself :-|

 

Can anyone with experience be called into look at the CCA from the links above? Please help the 18 days have already started.

Give it all back. Its up to yourself what you do. Although the SD was not properly served by Crapquest and its highly unlikely that they will follow through with a bankruptcy petition. I t is however possible and if they do it will cost you money to defend. As it stands now you can apply to have their SD set aside on the grounds that they did not comply with your CCA request. You will also be entitled to claim costs against them when successful. Also report them to the OFT, Trading Standards and your MP.

 

The other poster on this thread is WRONG as it costs nothing to apply to have their SD Set Aside.

 

As I said earlier the choice is yours but if you do decide to go for the Set Aside you will get excellent advice from 42 man and others on here.

I think you misunderstand what a Statutory Demand is. Its not an invitation by Crapquest to make yourself but a Statutory Notice that must be served on you prior to them instuting Bankrupt Proceedings.

 

It is generally sent out by most DCAs as a scare tactic to get you to ring their threat monkeys and they usually do not follow through with the Bankruptcy. Getting it set aside costs NOTHING and you can claim your costs. It also brings them under notice with the authorities for breach of process.

i have had the same from Capquest... first get a CCA request off to them and at then apply for a set aside which is dead easy and costs nothing at your local court.

 

I have a hearing next week and they have written to the court saying they are not attending and asking for the stat demand to be issued. I have done my reseearch on everything as should you and as long as you are prepared, hopefully you will be ok.

 

You need to make sure they can povide the original default notice issued on the account as without that they cannot proceed. Also the notice of assignment and statements for the duration of the account.

 

stay positive.. i felt like you a few weeks ago and although nervous about next week i am feeling more hopeful.
