    • 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,

 

Thank goodness for places like this who can help us all out!

 

My fairly short story so far is as follows:

 

Made redundant - asked for reduced payments to MBNA - they never replied - carried on paying my reduced payment - then in July they issued a default notice - asked for more time - next thing I know a letter arrives from Reston Solicitors - demanding payment - advised that I have been paying reduced amount due to redundancy - new job due to start September - could they give me 3 months to get sorted and I will issue them an up-to-date SOA and review payment offer - basically said not good enough - sent another letter basically the same as the first and i replied as previous - they replied again not good enough court proceedings will be sought. I sent my CCA on the 24th by recorded delivery (Post Office Tracking still doesn't say that it has been delivered) Reston Court Papers issued via Northampton on the 25th - these will obviously cross in the post - can anyone advise what I need to do next? I always intended to pay my debt but the attitude of these people has made me realise they don't give a damn and if nothing else this will slow things down abit - the more I think about it the more angry I become.

 

Sorry if I have waffled abit, but I am well out of my depth and need some expert guidance

Hi to you all,

 

I will get straight to the point, hopefully this won't bore you too much :-)Basically Reston's have instigated court proceedings on an overdue account, short story as follows:

 

  • Default Notice notice is dated the 6th July, they request payment of the arrears by the 27th July. So this looks ok, and can't be used in my defence.
  • On the POC they say "Interest pursuant to s69 County Courts Act 19 at the rate of ***.** pence per day to the date of judgement or sooner payment." - can they do this?
  • They have not responded to my CCA request
  • CPR Letter has not been responded to either
  • SAR request direct to the original lender sent today 20th Sept
  • They have failed to comply with DPA1998 by sending sensitive data when they were not sure it was me (they sent a letter last week requesting my signature in response to my CCA request) plus they issued proceedings against me without knowing it was me.

I have done my acknowledgement of service on-line to defend all, until I get some of the details back from the CPR & SAR requests.

 

Basically, if I used this information in my defence would I need to add anything else, I understand I should also put it as an "embarressed defence".

 

This is all unknown territory for me, so any advice would be welcome. I have to have my defence in by Friday 24th Sept.

 

Thanks in advance of your words of wisdom :lol:

Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

The defence you are proposing will suffice in an attempt to halt judgment by default.But is that is all you intend to rely upon the above reasons to defend or is there more to this dispute?

Hiya,

 

The account dates back to Jan '02 - basically due to redundancy I haven't been able to make the full payments since Nov 09, I have paid a regular amount every month but MBNA never replied to my payment proposal letters either way. They defaulted me in July and Reston's got involved refusing my payment offer, 3 letters later and the CCJ papers land on my doorstep. I asked what they considered to be a reasonable payment but they never replied. I wasn't sure what to do at the start but working things out the debt is now mainly just interest and charges, the original capital would have been paid off.

 

I would have been happy to repay the debt had they been decent about things but now feel I have no choice but to make things difficult. As you can probably gather I am out of my depth with all this but feel I have nothing to lose. I told them I would be starting a new job this month and would they give me a few months grace to get back on my feet and then re-look at things but no, they didn't want to entertain that!

 

I am rambling now, sorry :|

 

I don't know what the process will be after I file my initial defence, how long it will drag on for, are they likely to drop all this if they can't produce my original signed document etc.

 

Hope I haven't put you off, I can do with all the support you can throw my way :-)

You should still make quite sure they have at least a piece of paper with your signature on it that passes for an agreement. Without this they are sunk. We would need to see what, if anything, they are proffering as an agreement in order to best advise. You need to tweak (and submit ASAP) your interim defence to show you are disputing and put it in as an embarrassed defence if they have not produced any docs. Also is this debt over £5k? I'm slightly concerned that their lack of cooperation means that they are going for the Fast Track which means they can slap a load of costs on and make defending far more risky.

"Why CCJ when you can CCA!"

Ok sounds like he usual cooperative sympathetic response.Retain all you paper trail of requests of payment plan proposals.Having sent sent a CPR/SAR request, subject to amount and track as Paying advises above,lets see the response.Have you requested a separate CCA request they may not comply in time or at all knowing that crew but they wont ignore a CCA request.

Hiya,

 

I will drop down the events as they have happened, hopefully making it easier to read and to stop me waffling :wink:

 

  • Sent letter to Restons offering payment proposal
  • Another letter sent in line with one dated 12/8/10 to Restons re. payment proposal
  • CCA Request sent to Restons (24/8/10)
  • Court Papers received 28/8/10 (dated 25/8/10)
  • These two letters have crossed in the post
  • Wrote asking for a F&F settlement figure
  • Chased for a F & F figure
  • Sent CPR letter
  • Restons sent letter offering a 15% discount in response to my F&F request
  • Letter received requiring my signed authorisation re. my CCA request.
  • Letter sent in reply telling them signature not required - std. template from Internet.
  • SAR sent today to MBNA

To date, no response to CCA or CPR - need to chase CPR with a letter tomorrow.

Balance is over £5k - what does Fast Track Mean - those comments worry me!!

Once I receive any paperwork I will upload them for you to see, as it stands I do not have anything!!

How should I be wording my defence at the moment, do I need to use all the technical legal jargon or plain simple english (which would suit me down to the ground!)

Hope the above makes sense, and thanks for your help.

Hi All,

 

I submitted my initial "embarressed" defence just over a week ago now. I also sent a chase up letter to my CPR 31.14 request. I have now received a letter stating :

 

:evil: "Notwithstanding earlier correspondence to you, we now enclose a copy of the above Credit Agreement together with a reconstituted copy of the full original terms and conditions.

 

Provision of these documents is with due regard to the "spirit of the Cilvil Procedure Rules" and is by way of attempt to try and settle this matter amicably before we are instructed to apply for Summary Judgement.

 

Accordingly we invite you to contact this office within 7 days to discuss repayment of your account." :evil:

 

The copy of the Credit Agreement is a copy of the application form, with some T & C's on the same page plus the "reconstituted T & C's" - 6 pages in total.

 

I listed numerous separate points on my defence including the fact that they have twice broken the data protection act - should they have addressed all the points I made?

 

I am also waiting for my SAR request to MBNA to be returned, this could be a few weeks away yet under the 40 day requirement.

 

I would appreciate any advice on the next phase of my battle :madgrin:

Hello Deep in the do do

 

Application Form you say! Can you please scan it in and post it up.

 

Do not contact the Solicitors to discuss a Settlement.

 

As far as Summary Judgment is concerened (if that is their response to your embarrassed defence) I will help you draft your opposition to the SJ.

 

Where is the actual executed credit agreement?

 

Kind Regards

Hello Deep in it

 

We all are, so don't worry about it.

 

Yes, thanks for that, it is not very clear Deep, can you post a bit more on your thread/story to get that count up and then post that application form and all the other pages sent purporting to be the T & C's.

 

Kind Regards

Recent correspondence from them was to tell me they had sent a letter from myself to an unrelated 3rd party, this was put down to "Human Error". I would like to know if this could be used in my defence with regards the Data Protection Act.

 

They also sent a letter demanding my signature in respect of my CCA request, I replied with a standard template letter stating that I do not have to provide this - could this be counted as 2 breaches of the Data Protection Act seeing as they have written to me, sent me statements and other correspondence, e-mailed me and issued the CCJ without ever asking for my signature before?
