    • I can only speak from personal experience. But a similar thing happened to me. Seriously dented door.  I made the other insurance pay. They regarded it as a write off. Took the money, replaced the door. Never heard anything more about it.    Except clearly someone sold my details to claims company, because I got loads of calls in bad English for a few month's 
    • The incident was 03rd March 2024 - and that was the only letter that I have received from MET 15th April 2024 The charge I paid was at the Stansted Airport exit gate (No real relevance now - I thought this charge was for that!!).   Here is the content of email to them (Yes I know I said I was the driver !!!!) as said above -  I thought this charge was for that!! "Stansted Airport" Dear “To whom it may concern” My name is ??  PCN:  ?? Veh Reg: Date of Incident: 03rd March 2024 I have just received a parking charge final reminder letter, dated 10th April 2024 - for an overstay.  This is the first to my knowledge of any overstay. I am aware that I am out of the 28 days, I don’t mean to be rude, this feels like it is a scam My movements on this day in question are, I pulled into what looked like a service station on my way to pick my daughter and family up from Stansted airport. The reason for me pulling into this area was to use a toilet, so I found Starbucks, and when into there, after the above, I then purchased a coffee. After which I then continued with my journey to pick my daughter up. (however after I sent this email I remember that Starbucks was closed so I then I walked over to Macdonalds) There was no signs about parking or any tickets machines to explains about the parking rules. Once at Stansted, I entered and then paid on exit.  So Im not show where I overstayed my welcome.. With gratitude    
    • Just to enlarge on Dave's great rundown of your case under Penalty. In the oft quoted case often seen on PCNs,  viz PE v Beavis while to Judges said there was a case for claiming that £100 was a penalty, this was overruled in this case because PE had a legitimate interest in keeping the car park free for other motorists which outweighed the penalty. Here there is no legitimate interest since the premises were closed. Therefore the charge is a penalty and the case should be thrown out for that reason alone.   The Appeals dept need informing about what and what isn't a valid PCN. Dummies. You should also mention that you were unable to pay by Iphone as there was no internet connection and there was a long  queue to pay on a very busy day . There was no facility for us to pay from the time of our arrival only the time from when we paid at the machine so we felt that was a bit of a scam since we were not parked until we paid. On top of that we had two children to load and unload in the car which should be taken into account since Consideration periods and Grace periods are minimum time. If you weren't the driver and PoFA isn't compliant you are off scot free since only the driver is liable and they are saying it was you.

    • 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.

Originally sent request to the three accounts for CCA's on April 15th 2009 - all received and signed for on 17th April 2009, sent 2nd day letter stating that they were legally in default of my request for information under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 - Account now in Dispute-May 11th 2009 (12 + many more days etc) with a deadline date of June 4th 2009 had received nothing from all three - Today received a letter regarding one of the MBNA accounts from Global Vantedge "regarding the arrears on your account" and to make payment.

 

Any advice as to next move please?

Receiving texts on my mobile and phone calls to my home number - not received a single letter of acknowledgement for my CCA request! Should I send further letter, refer to Ombudsmen or sit and wait? (not very good at the waiting part :rolleyes: )

In reality, unfortunately, whatever you send them will be ignored.

 

From your post I'm guessing that you've stopped paying? That usually gets their attention.

 

I'd be inclined to make a subject access request, and note specifically that you want to see the CCA. Once that arrives, write to them and ask them to confirm that they've sent everything that they hold on you. This may be useful later if they come up with something that they haven't previously sent.

 

Remember not to sign anything- and send a postal order for £10 as payment for the SAR.

 

The next move is really up to them, unless you feel brave and want to issue against them. This could be dangerous though until you know exactly what they have up their sleeve- which may be nothing

 

Hope this helps :)

Just to add, send them a telephone harassment letter like this..ou're at it rescind any authority they may have to make / threaten to make doorstep calls

 

**Credit Card Co Name and Address**

 

Dear Sir / Madam,

 

Ref: Account Number: **** **** **** ****

 

I am writing in relation to the quantity and frequency of telephone calls that I have received from your company, which I deem to be personally harassing.

 

You are aware that this account is in FORMAL DISPUTE as per my letter dated **/**/****, which was signed for at your offices on **/**/****.

 

I now require all further correspondence from your company to be made in writing only.

 

You are reminded of the following under The Administration of Justice Act 1970.

 

Section 40 of the act provides that a person commits an offence if, with the object of coercing another person to pay money claimed from the other as a debt due under contract, he or she:

 

(a) harasses the other with demands for payment which by their frequency, or the manner or occasion of their making, or any accompanying threat or publicity are calculated to subject him or his family or household to alarm, distress or humiliation;

(b) falsely represents, in relation to the money claimed, that criminal proceedings lie for failure to pay it;

© falsely represent themselves to be authorized in some official capacity to claim or enforce payment;

(d) utters a document falsely represented by him to have some official character or purporting to have some official character which he knows it has not.

 

I am of the view that your harassment of me by telephone puts you in breach of Section 40 of the Administration of Justice Act 1970, and the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.

 

If you continue to harass me by telephone, you will also be in breach of the Communications Act (2003) s.127 and I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine.

 

Furthermore, should it be your intention to arrange a “doorstep call”, please be advised that under OFT rules, you can only visit me at my home if you make an appointment and I have no wish to make an appointment with you.

 

There is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd [1959] 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so, then you will be liable to damages for a tort of trespass and action will be taken, including but not limited to, police attendance.

 

 

 

 

Yours faithfully

If you use BT for your home phone, they have a nifty service called 'right to refuse'. Its one of their premium services, but doesn't cost much, and you can bar individual numbers from calling. Works a treat :)

I've read this and SB's thread. I'm in the same boat. Check out my thread on Vantedge in the other forum. It has a UK address for them. They are a known crooked bunch of law-breaking buggers, so watch out.

 

I wonder how many of us with perfect credit scores have been forced onto these forums by MBNA?

34.9% certainly did it for me

 

And me. I've been feeling so awful about it as I am really a very responsible person in life. I have a good-paying job, mortgage, never miss paying my bills etc.

 

These forums have certainly made me realise I wasn't alone!

Yep, me too. I would never have considered this course of action until they did this- an increase in credit limit of about £12k in six months, then the second I hit it they whacked me on 34.9% ensuring I'd be a customer forever.

No problem with hi-jacking - my partner and I exactly the same - we were credit card tarts - because we could be and the offers were to good to refuse - both self-employed and when credit crunch hit both our incomes the credit card companies went crazy with the interest rates! - and then it snowballs very quickly!!!

With regard to the 34% + interest rate. Mine went up to this just after I sent CCA request, even tho account was up to date and had always been paid on time. I called them to ask what was going on.. Their reply was..' maybe you should consider transferring your balance to another credit card at a lesser rate'. Suprise, suprise, Im still waiting for my original agreement 6 months later!!!

Only stopped paying after dispute notice period expired. Ive have several abusive intimidating phone calls from them, but as they only have a mobile number I can now screen the calls. Had several letters, but only to say my account is now in arrears.

Just out of interest, Im going through the process with MBNA on behalf of a friend, He has received a copy of his original signed agreement, which makes me think that if they have it, they will send it as requested.

MBNA have not acknowledge any of my CCA requests at all - so I was rather surprised to receive on Saturday my SAR requests letters and postal orders returned to me with the following letter for MBNA account 1 and 2 - requesting the account holders signature - both sent by the same person because they hand wrote the envelope. Please can anyone advise!!! urgently

Telephone call from MBNA yesterday stating that they do not have any knowledge of my CCA request despite a return of my SRA request - stating they want a signature to proceed. Also Next Directory of whom I have no dispute and always paid on time and within my limit fr over 15 years have reduced my credit limit to balance owing due to bad credit information. So my credit rating is now officially trashed! :mad:

They can ask for your signature for a SAR (this has been confirmed by the ICO) but I would supply it and put lots of crosses through it so it can't be 'lifted' however they do not need a signature for the CCA request !!! - have a look at this - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/572-debt-letter-when-company-refuse-cca-due-to-no-signature--

MBNA rang again told me that they have had no requests for CCA or other letters because I was sending them to the Bolton address as on there statements apparently this is a payment address and not a correspondence address, although I said I will not discuss this on the telephone I did point out that MBNA had infact returned my SAR which was addressed to Bolton with all my attached copied correspondence - so they did actually receive them. Also received letter today telling me that for the next 6 years I am going to have bad credit, where future employees, car finanace etc will have access to!!!! Sent them the SAR request back with a letter stating all of the above and that passing information on whilst account is in despite is not allowed. Do not think they are listening though.. Any idea how long this goes on for and what will be the next action?
