    • 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

 

I suffer from depression, and i am also a student, and then halifax offered me a credit card.

 

Because of my depression I went on a mad shopping spree, and bought loads of gifts for family which I couldnt really afford.

 

Till I got to about the limit which was around 850.00

 

Because of depression, I could not face opening the statements, to see what i had to pay.

 

Over the months I have paid em a lot of money, through Halifax, Using my Internet Banking.

 

But the letters keep coming, and I went to the doctors about my depression this morning, and they are threatening sectioning in a month, If i dont improve,

 

And I am still getting letters

 

What do i do.

Welcome Jazzydrury,

First things first you really need to stop worrying about Halifax.

You have a debt, that is all it is a debt. You have committed no crime, you need to stop worrying now.

You say you are paying money every month so what are the letters saying, you need to open them and see what they are saying.

You will get all the help you need on here but you need to tell us what the letters say.

We can easily sort this out. There are ways of dealing with this easily but you need to take control and stop worrying.

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.

As far as Shallowfax are concerned they can take a back seat for now, you will be better off using your time and energy looking after yourself and trying to get yourself on the road to recovery.

 

I used to bank with shallowfax, had a loan with them, a gold credit card with a 15k limit, was in a very stable well paid job, had a number of other creditors too, all in all, I owed somewhere in the region of 55k, and never had any issue with keeping up with the repayments, until that is I was involved in a near fatal car accident, which left me unable to return to work, saw me out of a job no income except for my pension (I'm only in my thirties) and having a severe brain injury which will stop me from ever being employed again.

 

I went to the Bank to explain that I would shortly be without a job and unable to pay them back what I owe, and their response, was to offer me another loan.....:mad:

 

And that my friend is the level of customer care you can expect to get from shallowfax, so now they get a big fat zero.

 

Sort yourself out, then when your ready to tackle them, with the help of CAG we can pull their trousers down and tan their behinds..

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Guest Cartaphilus
and they are threatening sectioning in a month,
Regarding the Sectioning, I have spoken to a friend of mine who is an ex CPN and also just spoken with Mind to get some advice on this before I replied to this thread. They have suggested you should look into the Mental Act more, what it means for you and the ramifications (of which there are many not just going into hospital BTW but the aftermath of that you may need to consider) perhaps get some advice on this - they have also said that a GP cannot directly 'threaten' if that is what they actually said to you with Sectioning on their own and they must refer the matter to an appointed medical person first, it takes 3 qualified medical practioners to do this and also there must be very good grounds there ... What I am saying is perhaps you should get further advice on the matter. Sectioning, as you may know, can involve you being detained for up to 28 days or for a longer period depending on the part of the Act used to Section. It can be done as an emergency (they show up at your doorstep) or at the discretion of the medical services with which you have engaged, when all other support or help offered hasn't made much difference. A normal GP cannot take it upon themselves to 'threaten' you with this. What I am saying to you here is get more advice before you agree to anything. The parts of the Act you need to take a look at are here:

 

Mental Health Act 1983

 

 

Section 2 & 3. I wish you well on the road to recovery but, like I said, I think you need to get more advice on all this particularly where the Sectioning is concerned as there is a lot more involved here. I am merely mentioning all the above because I am, from the perspective of someone reading on a forum someone posting that a bit concerned your GP has said this to you, particularly where you say 'threatened' and what you need to be aware about. I was also in two minds whether to leave this all well alone as it's often very difficult giving advice to someone on a forum without knowing the full facts but I wanted to reply to the aspect you posted about what your GP has said to you this morning. I am sure your GP had a good reason for suggesting this but I was just concerned with how it may have been presented to you eg 'threatened' so I went to seek further advice on this.

 

The relevent sections are 2 & 3 in the above link in your circumstances. Also, there is more advice available online including the MIND website and also their helpline.

Sorry to hear about your situation and depression, it can be very debilitating if allowed to fester and entrench itself in your life. I'm with Cartaphilus re the sectioning, it doesn't just happen like you've described.

 

In regards to the alleged debt, first off you're depressed but this alone will not help you escape the alleged debt, you've accepted the card and spent the money and now you have an alleged debt that needs/should be repaid, burying your head in the sand will not make it go away and neither using the 'I'm suffering from depression' ..

 

You've already made the first step by joining this forum, now you need to expand on that and help others to understand your debt so as to help advise on how best to tackle it.

 

When was the Credit Card taken out?

Have the Halifax sent you a default notice?

Has the account thus been terminated and if so do you have a termination letter?

If you have the above two then scan them in removing your personal; details and any associated barcodes that may be on the letter and post them here for others to advise on.

What is your current situation? working but on the sick? not worked for some time? etc etc

 

At the same time as this, what is the total sum outstanding, what/if payments were you making back to them and if you're unsure then simply open one of the letters you say you've not opened and let us know?

 

One thing is for sure, doing nothing at this stage of the game is not the done thing, halting excessive charges, maybe contacting Halifax with advice given on this forum is something to look at doing.

 

So, please, what info on the current state of your Credit Card account do you have?

I reside in Dawlish Warren but am not a rabbit.

Thanks Deb T I thought dealing with it would be the best thing, Jazzy will feel so much better about it when he starts getting some positives from this, so Jazzy follow the advice given. I assure you that things will look brighter once we start dealing with it.:)

I have no legal training, any knowledge I have has come from this forum, and my own experiences. Always balance up any advice you get with your own common sense.
