    • 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.

Its amazing that my MP's food bill is £400 each month.

 

I wonder if she has the same meal each day each week.

 

I think I'll write and ask!

 

Also write to the place they do all there food shopping and ask them how they managed to keep all the prices the same for so long, and can we shop there too:D.

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

Mine only quaffs £300, yours must shop at M&S! although maybe North/South devide. Why oh why has mine got (And on a very quick glimpse) £55 for a mini grill under repairs and insurance?

 

I am soo looking forward to analysing this, maybe I'll get the full version of my Telegraph contact, lmao.

 

I have the email already sat in my inbox to reply to, the morra is devoted to it.

Mine seems more reasonable with food averaging around the £180 mark. However she pays £45 per month for a mobile phone tariff which includes 400 minutes and 50 texts... they must have seen her coming!

Mine has stopped claiming £300 food the minute Council tax entered the equasion? only ever claimed £200 since then? Why are the figures so bang on the penny...petty maybe.

 

I think mine has been relatively well behaved, aside from the obvious 'rounding up' and I'm not gonna chuck my toys out over that.

 

I am still gonna get everything available digested the 'morra.

 

Baz, get her on 3 lmao

Richard Ottoway, Croydon Sth, has steadfastly refused to tell us what he was spending our money on. No wonder, I'd be embarrassed too to be seen as such a terrible moneysaver!!!

 

Handsfree kit for car: £250! :shock:

Newspaper delivery: £50 Why am I paying for this exactly?

£240 on food, and yes, £40 on light bulbs. £50 on a toaster, and there is maintenance on something mysterious which contains belts and filters and is bloody expensive. Mortgage payment: £430. Repairs to roof, boiler, shower (every month or so, it would seem), and the list goes on and on...

 

Want to know the funny thing? Mr Ottoway's home from home is further away from Westminster than his constituency one, but then Bletchingey is a lot more attractive than Croydon... :rolleyes:

I was wrong about the mini grill, it was actually under 'other' but the initial claim was scribbled out, and went into another section....it was then scribbled out again with blacked-out bits because of an issue worth £5, she then altered the totals at the bottom pratically begging them not to forget the extra fiver.... hard times!

 

Still, so far in my MP may be an angel....I haven't clicked on the other 5 or 6 links yet.

 

As a complete aside, I find it interesting that I now know each 'high gloss' leaflet costs 5.6p lol (maybe the gloss finish makes the crap easier on the eye.....and helps it get into landfil quicker?) 44,000 is also too low for her constituency. 30,859 were delivered by RM at the chep rate of 4.8p making those leaflets cost 10.4p each which 90% of which (guess, and you should see the communal area here) goes unread. Plus you can't wipe your crease on the glossy stuff. :p

 

I guess the other 13,000 or so are hand dropped by my MP and workforce in the more affluent areas? Not having a go here, I'm just a trainspotter when it comes to this stuff! Still, it grates a bit even then...£4K to promote her still sucks.... and that is only one campaign.... I honestly thought that kind of stuff wasn't paid for by the taxpayer.

About Bl**&y time!!!

 

They keep saying its within the rules but they made the rules!!! I wonder how long the fraud squad and Inland Revenue would hold back if The General Medical Council or the Legal Bar wrote its own rules for whats allowable in an expense claim?

 

Its the house of commons... the house of common people... they are NOT above the law which includes the Inland Revenue!!!

 

(makes a mental note to write to the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors..... :rolleyes::D)

£400 is the limit for monthly food allowances of what they're allowed to claim with no receipts:mad::eek:..........for all of those who've had to put in ex's claims for work, mucking around with recepits for pence, making sure everything is accurate to the last penny................they didn't need to produce recepits for anything less than £250!!!

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

I have no legal expertise or qualification, and give advice on the basis of my own experience and nothing else.
