    • I have just read the smaller print on their signs. It says that you can pay at the end of your parking session. given that you have ten minutes grace period the 35 seconds could easily have been taken up with walking back to your car, switching on the engine and then driving out. Even in my younger days when I used to regularly exceed speed limits, I doubt I could have done that in 35 seconds even when I  had a TR5.

    • Thank you for posting up the results from the sar. The PCN is not compliant with the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule 4. Under Section 9 [2][a] they are supposed to specify the parking time. the photographs show your car in motion both entering and leaving the car park thus not parking. If you have to do a Witness Statement later should they finally take you to Court you will have to continue to state that even though you stayed there for several hours in a small car park and the difference between the ANPR times and the actual parking period may only be a matter of a few minutes  nevertheless the CEL have failed to comply with the Act by failing to specify the parking period. However it looks as if your appeal revealed you were the driver the deficient PCN will not help you as the driver. I suspect that it may have been an appeal from the pub that meant that CEL offered you partly a way out  by allowing you to claim you had made an error in registering your vehicle reg. number . This enabled them to reduce the charge to £20 despite them acknowledging that you hadn't registered at all. We have not seen the signs in the car park yet so we do not what is said on them and all the signs say the same thing. It would be unusual for a pub to have  a Permit Holders Only sign which may discourage casual motorists from stopping there. But if that is the sign then as it prohibits any one who doesn't have a permit, then it cannot form a contract with motorists though it may depend on how the signs are worded.

I dispute the full amount claimed as shown on the claim form.   Do you dispute this claim because you have already paid it? No, for other reasons.   Defence 1.

    • 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.

Forgot to ask, if someone could look over what I received in my CCA (post 117) and see what they think... I'm not sure either is enforcable as they seem to be missing important elements such as prescribed terms etc also the t&c's are current, not from when I took out the card.

I'm hoping if I can highlight this in my letter it may improve my chances. Sorry I'm sure I keep repeating myself and asking the same questions in different ways. I just need to drum everything in to my head so it sinks in.

 

Any thoughts guys?

 

They look like microfiche scans to be honest so they would have to prove that the backs which contain the prescribed terms are the backs of the fronts which hold your signature..

 

In my opinion.

 

Did you look at the MBNA agreements thread -- >> HERE

Hiya shadow, thanks for your post. Have printed off the info in that link and will do some compare and contrast at lunchtime. Any problems I pick up I'll post here and will include it in my letter to MBNA. Hoping any problems will help my case when asking for a F&F but we shall see!

 

Thanks again.

MBNA *love* to offer short settlement offers via phone but dont normally back these up in writing. If you let the account go without payment for long enough they'll usually start offering great discounts on repayment terms.

Ok…. After looking at the links provided on earlier posts I’ve had a look at what I got sent in my CCA overlunch and have found what I believe to be the following problems. If anyone can give his or her opinion I’ll send you cake. ;)

 

1) The print outs I was given state ‘Credit Agreement’ not ‘Credit Card Agreement’.

2) The agreement has not been signed or dated by the creditor.

3) MBNA did not comply with my CCA request in the 12+2 day allotted time and I have proof it was signed for their end. The accounts were taken out prior to 2006 which I believe gives them a further calendar month but that was still breached.

4) It sates before you sign to read section 11 in the t&c’s provided. Section 11 doesn’t appear on the signature form. The section’s end at 3b. Does this mean it doesn’t contain the ‘prescribed terms’ in the same document?

5) I can’t see anything regarding to the frequency or amounts of repayments…

6) The numbers/reference codes on each side don’t match up. Not sure if they do normally but I’d imagine they would…

 

What do you guys think? I’m planning on mentioning the above in my letter to them, but want to be sure I am right before I do.

Hi

 

Can't help I am a novice in all of this.

 

Those of you who are experienced can you provide me with a view.

 

My position is I owe a debt of £14k for 5 creditors.

 

Mbna cc- 7344

Abbey cc - 5444

Next -598

JL - 458

abbey o/d - 698

 

my dilemma is my mum will borrow me 7,500 this will only clear half of my debts in full. Should I clear the biggest one with MBNA or clear the remaining 4 creditors which amount to £7K.

 

I am concerned if I pay off the 4 creditors and left with the one from mbna will withdraw their goodwill of one year reduced payment in my dmp.

 

Has anyone had any experience of this

Hope you've managed to set up your own thread Candy. Best of luck with finding an answer!

 

Just wondering if anyone can advise on my earlier post (129).

 

Ta muchly.

 

If 2 is correct, (sometimes they stamp the agreements in the corner and this is enough)

 

then the agreement cant be enforced say by order of the court... although it will enforce it if thats the only issue.

 

1. isnt critical, so long as the "jist" of the agreement is there I think a court will accept it.

2.as above

3.No longer matters if they have supplied the agreement.

4.Its prejudicial but unless its a prescribed term they refer to in another doc I dont think critical.

5.Thats a prescribed term

6.Interesting and throws further doubts about the document being two sides of the same application/agreement.

Many thanks shadow. I'm posting off a letter to them regarding a FF and also mentioning some of the above, although like you say it may well still be enforcable if it ever gets to court. I pray it doesn't get to that stage though. I've also brought up the fact I was still receiving charges during the dispute time. I'm also going to write to the FOS this afternoon and send that off too. Sure it won't get me far but it might make me feel better!

 

So now I guess I sit and wait. Think I'd better start some token payments now that I've received the CCA though. As I'm sure that will serve my case better should it ever get to court.

I received an odd letter from MBNA yesterday. Still NOTHING regarding any complaints or queries, but this was 'sent' by Martin Supple to whom I've written several times without success. Anyway, guess it's time for ANOTHER letter... Does anyone have any thoughts regarding this letter? Haven't seen anything like it on other threads. And I sure as hell hope they aren't hoping to get the full balance! Either way I won't be ringing them. And speaking to one of their 'experts'.

hi

 

I have never received a letter like that - to be honest I have not experienced any hostility as yet. They have agreed a 12 month reduced payment plan. Not sure what will happen after that. Good luck kb bal1 sorry I can't help.

Oh months now. Since the begining of the year. My CCA has finally arrived though that took three months. But I'm still fighting them over the charges and fines they placed on the accounts during the time they were in default. They aren't responding to any of my letters at all. I'm just about loosing the plot now!

Hi kb_ba1:)

 

Just looking in to see how you are doing!

 

Sorry to hear you don't have your F&F sorted with them yet and that you are still getting stressed out over it all. I can't say my OH has had a letter like that and he has two accounts with them - in fact we are still awaiting his CCA for one account which was originally requested back in January. They did, however cough up the charges we had requested on the other account, so anything is possible!

 

Don't let it get you down - remember we're all here to support you when you need it.

 

Regards,

Hiya Landy,

 

Good to hear from you! I think I may well write them a very snooty (well snootier than normal) letter. I'm writing to the FOS to complain about them but thought I would give it until after the weekend to see what arrives in the post. I think they're ignoring me as I'm ignoring their calls. I will not be made to feel bullied or patronised by them, which is all that happens. Especially when they say they are on hand to 'help'. Pah!

 

Watch this space...!

 

Have a lovely MBNA free weekend all!

Hi kb_ba1:)

 

Glad to hear you sounding upbeat today! Definitely don't let it rest there though - have you joined the campaign for mass action started by mauricetura? The one asking you to fill out a witness statement about MBNA, if not you should do so. Hopefully banded together we will finally make them sit up and take notice.

 

OH and I were awoken by a phone call at 1.23am today:eek: Both having elderly families many miles away as well as our son at uni we rushed to the phone thinking it was some kind of emergency only to find as it had stopped ringing that it was a witheld number - if it was MBNA they've got a lot to answer for:mad:

 

Hope you have a good weekend too!
