    • 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.

Hi All

 

I have recently set up a payment plan with Wonga and they have been really helpful (which i was not expecting)

 

Today I recieved an email stating my loan had been settled (IT WAS OUTSTANDING £1170 yesterday) and I can now reloan???????

 

I dont want to contact them and bring it to their attention ... but I went online and I now have a clear account balanace and they have give me the option to reloan -

 

 

Does anyone know if i keep this email stating my account is cleared...do I have legal rights for the balance to be cleared as it was their error they have wiped my account?

 

Help please - has this happened to anyone else ?

 

Thank you

Yes, its happened to me, they are up to something, you will then receive 48 hour emails from Gothia Ltd to try and get money from you. Gothia will offer you about a 3rd less than Wonga are claiming.

 

Then you will get a lovely varigated blue letter from Wonga telling you that you will shortly be hearing from Gothia and to pay Red Castle Recoveries... the letter will be dated a month or so after they have 'transferred' the funds.

 

DONT go onto the website as it leaves tracking cookies on your PC and will try to 'grab' any bank details you enter.

 

I do hope you have changed your bank account completely to stop them lifting funds.

No, it would not be worth ringing them, you will only be coerced into giving out your details and be bullied into making a new agreement at a higher rate.

 

I would WRITE to Wonga and send a copy of their email (or email them and explain) don't talk to them at all - it will only frustrate you.

Hi Gibbo2003,

 

Sound advice from Sillygirl1.

 

They are up to something - as well as the experience she outlines the "reloan" will be to try and get you to give up new account details. This appears to be an increasing tactic by a number of these firms when you have done the wise thing of changing bank accounts to put your weekly/monthly income out of their reach.

 

I think might be worth writing to them with a copy of the email - thanking them for confirming that the liability is now settled and see if it plays out as Sillygirl outlines (one thing is very clear from dealings with to many of these firms there is NO consitency in their approach - this firm have been completely reasonable with some on here and absolutely evil to others).

 

Other than that as Sillygirl1 says proceed with caution and high level of suspicision.

 

Best of luck

This happened to me, I think a few weeks ago. I thought it was a system error - clearly their up to something, ( lucky my email block any links to their 'survey') They may send a email like this the next day.

 

You may have recently received an email from us stating that your last loan from Wonga.com has been repaid. We can confirm that this has been sent to you in error and that your loan remains outstanding.

Currently you still owe £.....[/font]

We have sold the debt you owe us to a specialist debt collection company who will shortly be contacting you with regards to your arrears. They have been advised that production of the email that you have been sent in error today will not constitute proof of payment and that you will need to make arrangements with them to settle this debt.

 

You remain unable to borrow money from us so please do not apply for further credit.

 

What you should do next

 

You should wait for contact from the firm that has acquired your debt and you should then immediately contact them to agree a way to deal with this matter.

 

We do apologise for any confusion that this may have led to.

Yours sincerely ,

The Team at Wonga

Hiya Plumfairy,

 

If you clicked through on it worth giving the PC a spring clean (virus scan, spyware etc) just in case....

 

Best to treat links from all these firms as spam and file appropriately ;)

Will do. They don't have my new bank details and have no intention of giving them to them!

Watch out for the phone call pretending to be HR trying to get you to confirm your bank details - again a dodgy tactic, however they called my mobile and I said as HQ is only up the road I would do it in person.... and they pretended to be my bank and I said I would confirm stuff in a branch rather than on the phone for security. Their devious ways know no bounds.

I'm a customer of Wonga and I regularly receive their surveys. There seems nothing devious about this email and I used it to give feedback about their service, which you could do too.

 

Thinking that they are sending spyware and viruses to get your bank details is WAY over the top. This sounds like some futuristic sci-fi film!

 

Sillygirl - If Wonga sold your debt to Gothia Ltd then why would they continue to chase you for the money? Maybe Gothia is behind these dodgy tactics...?

My advice is be patient until a collections manager tries to get in touch..

 

dont feel pressured or worried about repaying the loan yet.. just try enjoy your own money!

 

I had sleepless nights wondering whats going to happen next but I stook to my guns and kept sending email after email with the payment plan. A collections manager call Alan sent me an email saying he would help me set up a payment plan. As soon as I called Alan he was very understanding and we set up a payment plan over 7 months. I am also able to pay via standing order so they have no access to my bank account at all..

 

once the payment plan is set up ... STICK TO IT!! .. your account will soon go down with no more calls from the company.

 

Hope this helps!

I set payment plan with Wonga, they have been very helpful all they way through.

I didnt set up a standing order and pay direct into their Bank Account which is better for me.

 

Email the collections team at wonga.
