    • 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.

Hi guys

 

I am yet another Equita Victim

 

I have 3 liability orders for council tax - 2006- 2007 / 2007-2008 / 2008-2009 accounts referred to Equita.

 

they have charged the usual 1st + 2nd visit fees to each a/c

 

arrangement was made with them to pay them £200 a month (total debt was approx £2600 inc equita charges)

 

Since sorting out all my finances and determined to clear all my debts I rang Equita and we agreed on a arrangement to pay monthly till balance is clear.

 

The arrangement was £200 a month .

 

i paid £1000 off in 5 installments (200 x 5) plus all their costs (about 40 odd pounds per a/c)

 

I failed on the arrangment by not making my november payment of 200..

 

The total owed balance before missing my Nov payment was £1600

 

£1600 also confirmed as principle remaining bailiff balance by my local authority

 

now here is my problem..

 

what happens on 2nd dec ?

 

I rang to pay nov and dec instalment (200 x 2)..

 

call centre said ring the bailiff as my account is with the bailiff.

 

So I did this, the bailiff demanded £2200 !! a jump from £1600 to £2200 !! - the bailiff said reason for this is and I qoute "additional incurred costs and reason for so much is cos I have 3 accounts"! I didnt get very far although i tried to explain i only owed £1600..

 

The next day (3rd dec) - 8.30am - FORM 7 left through my letter box which mentions a car on my drive (belongs to my dad) and mentions that I owe £2200! No entry was made, No entry has ever been made to my property at any occasion nor have i signed anything since debts referred to Equita. I do NOT own any vehicles, I will NEVER let any bailiff in my property, ALL windows and doors are always kept locked.

 

My battle is this £600 increase just by defaulting the arrangment plan, I was determined to clear this debt before this happened but now I will pay Equita £0 + send payments direct to my LAuthority!

 

what shall I do ?

 

email sent to [email protected] 1 week ago requesting a breakdown of charges + dates etc.. but no response

 

local authority far from helpful,

 

No visits from bailiff since..

 

I want to file a form 4 against this bailiff if they dont remove these illegal charges, I know the bailiff is certified as I have done checks online.

 

I will now be sending in an official SAR request to kickstart my battle // - It will be interesting to see how Equita or their bailiffs can justify the £600 charge !

 

I will fight this all the way..

 

Please support me and all advice welcome

 

Many Thanks

When were the !st & 2nd Visit charges added. All at the same time or different?

 

If your letter from Equita is dated 4 August what has happened to payments since - Sept & Oct?

 

£600 charges - bet a pound to pinch of rabbit doodoos he's added Charges to each account.

 

A week in Bailiff time is not a long time so be prepared to wait longer for a reply if you get one at all. No need at present to file a Form 4 but you could send them a message saying you intend to.

 

Just pay the Council direct in future, Online or automated phone. The bailiff will probably be narked but you appear to have that side of things covered.

 

To get details of your account does not constitute a request for information under the DPA so no need to file for a SAR. Evene if the Council are being arsey they can still usually access your "Bailiff" account to find the details you require - however you may need to speak to someone further up the food chain at the Town Hall.

Hi ploddertom

 

About the 1st + 2nd visit charges on my accounts - Im not sure yet when they were added to my a/c as I have no cost breakdown from them as of yet

 

With regards to that letter dated 4th aug from equita to me - I have edited my above post.. see below

 

I have a letter from Equita dated 4th of August which says I owe £2000 (after aug payment) which is correct!

 

Then in Sept - i made a payment of 200

 

balance owed : £1800

 

Then in Oct - I made a payment of 200

 

Balance owed : £1600

 

Then in nov : PAYMENT MISSED + FILE REFERRED TO BAILIFF

 

Demand on 2nd dec by phone : £2200 !!

 

3rd Dec : FORM 7 posted through my letter box which demands £2200 and mentions my dads car which is on my drive.

 

So the bailiff has basically whacked £600 of charges unlawfully !

 

Even the LA says I owe them £1600 as mentioned in my first post..

 

So you mean no need to send SAR to get cost breakdown, someone higher up in townhall should be able to tell me.. but when I rang the LA they told me request the breakdown from Equita themselves.. I will ring the LA again and see what I can achieve.

I forgot to mention my wife is also pregnant..

 

the LA have said that since its me Equita are dealing with and not my wife, they cant take the debt back under the vulnerable cases..

 

The council tax is now in both our names since we got married this year and moved in with me, this years council tax im paying on time..

 

but these owed accounts were in my name only and my wife was not in the picture then

 

Is this correct?

I assume therefore that before you got married you had no worldly goods and that to prevent WW3 breaking out your wife has signed a SD claiming everything as hers just in case something untoward happens - like a Bailiff calling?:D:D

You may need to be firm and persevere with them. Don't forget most Town Hall staff are only allowed to see the script and not the rest of the film!

Oh I see now ==> (sd)

 

 

In hindsight i wish i didn't miss that Nov payment, i wouldn't be in this mess today

 

I cant believe that Equita who call themselves certified bailiffs get away with just slapping any figure for a charge and get away with it,

 

I wish I get this sorted asap -

Hi there

 

Hold your horses

 

If You've NEVER let the bailiff's IN then they can go BO BO. You DON'T HAVE TO PAY THEM A PENNY.

 

If they haven't received anything for 90 Days - Bill is NULLO BONO and MUST go back to person / court who made / requested liability order.

 

so

 

1) If you still need to deal with Bailiff's - ask for an exact copy of Liability Order - if you haven't paid anything within 90 days COUNCIL MUST TAKE BACK THE DEBT.

 

2) Offer council something -- you can't be sent to prison if you've offered something. If you really CAN'T pay apply for Council tax benefit relief --- while applying all bailiff orders are invalid anyway until a ruling is made as to whether you get the relief or not (including appeals if any).

 

I'd STOP paying these bozos ANYTHING and only deal with the council -- if they refuse to accept the debt just inform them that they have a STATUATORY DUTY to collect the tax and in any case they will be FORCED to take the debt back 90 days from obtaining a liability order.

 

It's a bit of a shame that you've already made some sort of arrangement with these scumbags as this "might" change the legal situation -- I should request more info from the qualified lawyers here or elsewhere.

 

In general for Council Tax you DON'T EVER have to let bailiff's in -- however unless you get relief etc you eventually will have to pay it.

 

in Future NEVER EVER DEAL with a BAILIFF in Council tax matters and above all NEVER EVER let them in.

 

Even though most tax depts at local council are staffed by people you sometimes think would have trouble finding their own bottoms when sitting on the Loo they are still infinitely preferable to deal with than the Bailiff's who without exception are usually just utter scumbags and a--holes.

 

Cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

*** UPDATE ***

 

More or less the same time I created this thread I sent a complaint email to [email protected] disputing these unlawful charges of £600 for simply defaulting on a payment arrangment.. (missing a payment), within 5 days I got a letter saying Karen Fowler will be investigating (she works in the complaints dept)

 

After another week I got letter stating the breakdown of all the charges and surprise surpise, the unlawful charges were REMOVED totally and just a single charge of £43 was added for the levy visit.. I was also offered reinstatement of my intial arrangment if I rang the call centre and paid the instalment I missed initially plus Dec installment ..

 

So to conclude, No more bailiff visits if I continue to make payments on time (which i will be doing believe you and me, Infact I will be paying before the date these payments are due.. and hopefully I will be able to clear my debt within 6 months (although it will be leaving me very stretched) and never have to deal with these bunch of cowboys, money robbing loosers ever again !

 

Shame to my local authority who wasnt interested to help me, not even an iota's worth , and my local councillors also ignored my emails , when i pledged for help !!

 

On the plus note, My sincere thanks to CAG - what a brilliant consumer forum!! (I will be making a donation as soon as I can) and a special thankyou to tomtubby (she is awesome!!) + halowich, who gave me their time for their awesome advice !!

 

Merry xmas and a happy new year to everyone and best of luck if you have deal with Equita !!

A bailiff cannot apply multiple charges when enforcing more that one Liability Order. He can charge just ONE fee of £24.50 for "attending to levy" etc.

 

I have PM'd you.

 

Very interesting as this isnt the opinion of the Bailiff co that I am dealing with, can I ask what you said to them about applying multiple charges :-)

 

A little bit of a letter I have just received

 

I appreciate that within your letter you have stated that you will not allow peaceful entry nor allow us to seize goods. I would hope that you are aware that having been instructed to enforce 2 liability orders, your comments would not prevent further recovery action nor fees being applied as permitted within statute for those further attempts unless our client, ****** instructed us to delay or cancel recovery action. To assist further, we do not require your consent to seize goods and in the absence of a walking possession agreement being signed and/or full payment being tendered, immediate removal action and the fees for such is permitted by law.

 

To date one visit has taken place with the outcome being that we did not gain a response, nor had any access to goods to seize. You have incurred £24.50 per liability order for this visit and in so total fees of £49 have been added to your accounts at the point. Attached is a copy of the legislation that permits these fees to be applied.

 

Well done to you LUK79 :-)

 

Hope you have a relaxing christmas now you have sorted it.

I simply told them I owed 1600, why all of a sudden this has risen to 2200 simply by missing a payment, i requested a breakdown..

 

the breakdown stated that i only owe 1643 across all 3 accounts which means the £43 for the levy visit on ONE account

 

so what tomtubby is saying must be TRUE, only a single charge can be applied for visit if they're dealing with multiple a/c's..

 

Create a thread mate and Im sure the likes of tomtubby will offer you their expert advice ! Good luck..

From what I have heard in on these forums, there was a court case (in leeds I think) where someone disputed multiple charges on more than one account for the same visit.. drop me a PM with your email address and I will forward you the details of the case.. its something tomtubby sent me by email.

providing they visited for both LO's at the same time they can only charge 1 visit fee.

 

Have you got dates and times fo visits confirmed by them?

 

They have confirmed in a letter that they have only visited once but that they are allowed to charge twice as there is two liability orders :-x

The "throssell vs Leeds" case punted around on this form is nowhere on BAILII and thus cannot be presented as authority for ruling that bailiffs cannot charge multiple visit fees for simultaneous visits. I have no idea where this theory originated. It could even be somebodys creativeness.

 

Logic would suggest, if a bailiff makes one visit to a an address then only one fee applies. The legislation doesnt provide for bailiffs to charge the same visit twice just because there are more than one liability order at the address.

 

If a bailiff charges two visit fees for one visit, then it could be interpreted the bailiff is charging for work he hasn’t done.
