    • How much of the documentation have you seen from when probate was obtained? And do you have a copy of the original will? I can't remember. My thought about you making the decision on your own to go with another lawyer is that three of you are meant to be beneficiaries of this will trust, aren't you? Normally you would need to act together. HB

    • Hi guys, I am about to file my defence via email as cannot log in to the claim anymore.  Can you please advise if I can paste below and if it's good to go for now, or should I add anything else in?  Thanks!  The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature which fails to comply with CPR 16.4.  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.  1.  The Defendant is the recorded keeper of vehicle xxxx xxx.  2.  It is denied that the Defendant entered into a contract with the Claimant - Parking Eye LTD.  3.  As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance.  The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the car park is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner.  Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim.   4.  In any case it is denied that the Defendant broke the terms of a contract with the Claimant.  5.  The Claimant is attempting double recovery by adding an additional sum not included in the original offer.   6.  The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety.  It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all.

    • Ooops - one to many also s..... my draft reply should read as:  Thank you for your response Mr Schnur  I set out my position quite clearly in my letter of claim and nothing has changed. Your insurance requirement is unlawful and is contrary to section 57 of the Consumer Rights Act, and also section 72 of the same statute. I would also refer you to the outcomes in PENCHEV v P2G (225MC852) and SMIRNOVS v P2G (27MC729).  My deadline for action - 1 May 2024 - still stands, and if P2G wish to avoid the addition of court costs and interest to my claim, you may wish to respond positively before that date.

    • 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.

If I've posted in the incorrect section, please be gentle and can a friendly mod/admin move me to a more appropriate section?

 

After considering using the likes of Cartel and Credit Card Killer as I have friends who are agents for these, I am not convinced these are the best option or indeed legal. I'm a reasonably intelligent person and capable of writing letters and even more so of cutting n pasting tempates :D So I have decided that you guys are the best sourse of help 8)

 

I have sent a CCA request to MBNA with a £1 postal order by recorded delivery and it has been signed for. So my first question of many is, do I give them 12 days (+2) from the date they signed for it or the date I posted? Also do we count Saturday as one of the 12+2?

 

I'm sure, like most other accounts I've read so far that I will not get a reply, so what is my next action?

 

In the unlikely event that I get a proper copy of the agreement, it was applied for in Feb or March 2007, is it likely to be unenforcable in any way or will I just be stalling and preventing the inevitable?

 

Due to my current circumstances, I have not been making my monthly payments after the first month of my problems where I agreed to make a token payment if they didn't apply the late payment charge and they added it anyway and told me that the token payment makes no difference to anything they do. Does this affect anything I am about to do?

 

I'm actually only going down this route due to the way they have treated me in this difficult time.

 

Cheers

Going Down.

Hello and Welcome, Going Down.

 

You can do it yourself with the help from people on this site, regarding the 12+2 days, it's working days from the date they receive it.

 

I'll move this thread to the MBNA Forum.

 

Regards.

I do have all my statements, in fact I have every statement I've had from my previous MBNA cards. Are you saying to put in a claim for any charges they've made while I've had the card if I don't get the CCA back within 12+2? I would have considered this if I proved the agrement was unenforcable, but are you suggesting I do it right away?

work out what the charges are against what you owe, if they owe you more then go down the reclaim route, if not wait until the agreement turns up, if after the time period they have not produced an agreement then use the account in dispute letter and stop paying, or just pay a token amount, then reclaim

OK well the charges can't come close to what I owe, it's over £12,000 outstanding. :shock:

 

I'm already not paying anything due to circumstances beyond my control. I agreed a token payment after a telephone call, paid it in cash via the bank as agreed and then later that day I got another stroppy call from MBNA demanding full payment. When I told them I'd spoken to one of their collegues and agreed to pay a token amount which I'd done I was told I was a liar as they had no record of any conversation and besides a token payment was of no use and wouldn't get to them for several days and I needed to get someone else to pay for me using a debit card. I told them that I am not a liar and if my token payments weren't welcome they'd be getting no more token payments or indeed any payment until my income had returned. I've been arguing with them ever since.

dont speak to these idiots, do everything in writing from now on, it is alledged that they lie and cheat and bully;)

 

if they continue to phone just say in writing and put the phone down, there is a template in the library re phone harrassment

 

in this case I would stop paying anything now and wait for the cca request to kick in

 

these fools dont know when to admit that some people want to pay but are having difficulties so they class us all as wont pays, stupid morons.

 

still you know no what to expect from the rest

 

also you can now report them for trying to get you to use someone elses card to pay, this is way out of line and these cretins know this

Yep, I've seen the template for the no phone calls and I'll send it tomorrow when I'm back in the office.

 

I stopped paying them anything a couple of months ago, they can kiss my hairy a*** for now :D

Will do :)

 

But you've got me thinking now, which is always a dangerous thing! Can I claim back charges from a settled MBNA account? I had one previous to my current one and I'm sure they'll have had a few late payments on there before?

I nipped home at lunchtime to see what delights I'd have from MBNA and my other creditors and lo and behold there were 2 things from MBNA.

 

The first was my monthly statement and the second was a lovely postcard with a picture of some crop of some sort. On the rear of the postcard was a message saying they were going to call me week commencing 6th July :rolleyes: So thanks for the notice that you were going to call me last week, that's bloody brill!

Hi going down

 

Reading your thread with interest, im waiting for hubbies cca for 2 accounts, last day should be tomorrow but they have written asking him to wait untill 26th July for a response. Hope this is a good sign:D.

However the morans in cs are still phoning they maintain they know nothing of cca request. I cant believe they pay these ppl lol.

Good Luck with your quest.

I'm not counting on getting my CCA when it's due either.

 

Finally twigged about going onto my online account and altering the phone numbers, not sure if it works, but if it does I'm sure the folks at TPS will be thrilled with the calls :-D

  • 3 weeks later...

Well I actually gave them 3 weeks and no CCA, so the default letter was sent, not that I think it'll make any difference. What's more I'd guess my agreement will be enforcable.

 

I did send a harassment letter in and much to my surprise I've had a reply. The standard we don't think it's harassment line, but they have agreed to only correspond with me in writing :shock: so long as I respond to their letters.

 

I have several creditors and simply getting the calls from MBNA stopped has removed over 75% of the phone calls I was getting a week. I'm feeling less stressed and more able to deal with things now as I'm not getting worked up every time the phone rings.

 

My advice to anyone is use the telephone harassment template and send it.

Hi Going Down

 

I have received one cca from mbna but the only response ive had about the other is a PAY NOW letter concerning the other account. Signed by Martin Supple (heard his name on here before) but first time ive had the pleasure. I have no intention of paying another months payment as the account is in dispute. Im not sure whether to send non-compliance of cca letter or account in dispute letter, what do you suggest please.

Hi Ang,

 

I don't know to be honest I sent the account in dispute letter not that I think it matters with MBNA.

 

I have had an email from them asking me to phone them, so I've replied saying No!

 

I'm new to all this myself and to be honest I think the letter templates on here are great, but there doesn't seem to be much in the way of advice from people who have been through it or actually know what they are doing. I've posted in a few sections abotu ot her debts where I've had no replies ie Egg, Abbey Business, Cahoot and it's a bit dissapointing, I thought I'd try this rather than using a legal firm, but with no help to hand I might have no other option as I can't afford to mess it up though ignorance.

Hi all

 

I have today received letter from mbna regarding SRA request. They have returned my cheque with letter which says:

We have provided this information free on this occasion.

I regret that we are unable to provide a copy of your original credit agreement:confused:.

So nothing except letter and returned payment???

 

Is this a good sign, or they just playing.
