    • 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 CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

    • 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.

Very new to this site but have been reading and got lots of questions!

 

First of all my partner recently admitted to being in a total of 30k in debt from previous loans and credit cards he took out when he was twenty one. he is now twenty seven and hasn't been making payments stupidly but done now so cant change that.

 

The only information i have is the paperwork from debt collecting agencies. we have sat down and made payment plans with each creditor so he is paying out just over a grand a month and is barely having enough cash to live on. both live with parents but looking at getting our own place but with his credit history we currently have no chance.

 

I just wanted some information on how to get loan information and charges etc as i have recently found out you can claim back?!

 

It is getting us both down but need to start to reduce the debt. any advice is greatly appreciated!!

 

Thanks

Fairly new here myself but one thing that screams out at me is that some of these debts may be statute barred if he hasn't paid them for so long. Please don't do anything until someone with more experience comes along with some advice, just on the off-chance.

 

There's light at the end of the tunnel and its not just another debt collector with a torch, so hang in there :)

Hi Lenny. Welcome to CAG. It might be a good idea to start your own thread on this so you can get the help you need. Scroll to the top of this page, click on Debt Collection Industry then once the new page has loaded up scroll down the page and you will see a button that says New Thread. Click on that and you will have a thread all to yourself.

 

It will be a good idea to bookmark your thread once you have created it so that you don't lose it!! (I have done it loads of times. Being a blonde does not help!!)

 

Babybear you beat me to it. You must be able to type much faster than me LOL.

Please can you list all loans.... the amounts.... and who is currently chasing your partner for payment....and how much he is currently paying for each one. Please also say if there are any CCJs on any of these accounts.

 

Debt Collections Agencies have a tendency to crank up the pressure in order to secure high payments for themselves when they often don't have the legal power to collect on these accounts in the frst place.

 

Naming the companies will help us to help you.... because we're already familiar with their tactics.

To look at the charges issue you need to send SARs to each company:

 

Data Protection Act 1998

 

Subject Access Request

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

ACCOUNT NUMBER: xxxxxxxxx (or multiple numbers if more than one account)

 

Please supply me with all data that you hold on me. This includes in particular, but is not limited to, the following:-

 

1. The original signed, executed credit agreement and any terms and conditions that applied to the account at the time of default and at the time the account was opened.

2. Transcriptions of all telephone conversations recorded and any notes made in relation to telephone conversations by your company, or by any previous creditor

3. Where there has been any event in my account history over this period which has required manual intervention by any person, I require disclosure of any indication or notes which have either caused or resulted in that manual intervention, or other evidence of that manual intervention in relation to my account formerly held with ORIGINAL CREDITOR.

4. True copies of any notice of assignment and/or default notice or enforcement notice that you or the original creditor sent me, with a copy of any proof of postage that you hold.

5. Documents relating to any insurance added to the account, including the insurance contract and terms and conditions, date it was added and deleted (if applicable).

6. Details of any collection charges added to the account; specifically, the date it was levied, the amount of the charge, a detailed financial breakdown of how the charge was calculated, and what the charge covers.

7. Specific details of the fees/charges levied by any other agency in respect of this account and a detailed breakdown of said fees/charges and what each charge relates to and on what date said fees/charges were levied.

8. A genuine copy of any notice of fair use of my data as required by the Data Protection Act 1998

9. A list of third party agencies to whom you have disclosed my personal data and a summary of the nature of the information you have disclosed.

Yours faithfully,

 

Amend to suit, send recorded keeping a copy with your postal receipt, print do not sign your name.

Has he actually acknowledged the debts in writing or made any payments? I only ask as if your partner has made no payments or admissions in writing in the past 6 years then the debts are statute barred and your partner has no obligation to pay the debts.

Hiya Lenny,

 

What you would need to do is send a sar to each of the companies you want to claim back charges (link in my sig) to the original lender/creditor. You would need to inlcude a £10 PO in each and send recorded.

 

If any of these debts he has not paid anything in 6 years between the lat payment and the currents then these would be statute barred so would not need to pay them.

 

If he is paying £1000 per month and doesn't have enough money left over for daily living then he is paying too much and you should re do the income and exp allowign enough monies to live off.

 

He can also send a cca request to the dca (link in sig also) it would need to inlcude a £1 po and send recorded and this would check that they do indeed stil lhave the relevant paperwork and that the dca is entitled to collect it.

You could gain a copy of his credit report to see what debts are still outstanding, and I agree with the above posts with the possibility that the debts could be statute barred. You could then visit Martin Lewis' website where there are template letters to send to the banks and a full explanation of how to claim charges back. You partner could then enter into a debt management or an IVA depending on his surplus income and debt.

Morning sorry about the delay it's been so tough going through all paper work. so here goes:

 

Robinson Way & Company - £6748.78 (capital one card)

 

Eaton Ryan & Taylor Solicitors - £5792.11 (HFC Loan)

 

CAS Credit Ancillary Services - £13175.85 (HSBC Loan)

 

Those are the only ones i know about so far :confused: i know there all debt collecting agencies. My boyfriend is currently struggling to pay out each debt each month all totaling £950 per month. I would like to know when i receive the cca back from the loans what am i exactly looking for as there all dating back to 2004. The credit card I'm requesting a subject access request but what does that exactly send back to us? We have also requested his credit report to see any other debt etc.

 

What are the options I have? Thanks in advance as it's been so tough but don't really know a lot about this type of stuff.

make sure you blank out all your own details

Ok so if i get cca's on all of them and wait for his credit report to come through too. I understand he should pay what he can afford but they put so much pressure on when you speak to them.

 

I have already found out from reading other threads that we should never really speak to creditors over the phone. what way can I go by stating a smaller amount paid to each creditor?

 

Thanks!! :)

Hi Lenny,

Well done at taking the first steps to getting this sorted :)

The no phonecall rule is really important as these people will say anything to frighten or bully you into paying more than you can afford..they are a bit more careful if they have to put it in writing, and you need an accurate record of proceedings from now on..so EVERYTHING in writing.

Send each one the CCA request. They have 12 days plus 2 working days for posting to provide you with the agreement AND a statement of account. If they fail to supply this, after the time limit you can write and put the account in dispute. At this point you can legally withhold any further payments until they comply.

They are well aware by now that they should not pursue the debt or demand payment while the dispute continues..but you may have to remind them!

Don't forget to use postal orders, tell your bf NOT to sign the letters, just print his name, and send recorded delivery, saving the receipts.

Shout if they respond in any way. You'll need a scanner or digital camera ready at some stage so we can see the responses/check agreements etc

 

You're good to go... :)

Personally, I would hold fire on the Subject Access Requests for now.... they won't achieve much at this stage unless they're each sent to the original creditors.... which would cost £30 (£10 each).

 

Part of the CCA request includes a company sending you a Statement of Account along with your valid CCA (if they have one). This is FREE (apart from the small CCA fee).... and seeing as all of these accounts are with debt collectors now, this should provide all the information you need for a fraction of the cost.

 

Once the CCA requests have all been sent (by rec. delivery).... hold back and wait until they contact you again, but have nothing whatsoever to do with any of them over the 'phone. Just hang up... or say "in writing only" and then hang up before they even have a chance to get going.

 

Once they've contact you in writing (with or without a valid CCA), we can then advise you on what your response should be, but it's always in writing and always by rec. delivery.

 

:)
