    • 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.

For the record, I spent 18 months of my life taking my complaint about my executive pension plan to:-

 

1. TPAS

2. FOS

3. Independent Assessor

4. FSA

5. John McFall, Treasury Select Committee

6. My MP

 

All of the above hindered my attempts to get justice. Eventually, I lodged a particular of claims with moneyclaim.gov.uk, and the pension company offered to settle within 2 weeks.

I've now got a problem with an insurance company and have no intention of dealing with the corrupt FOS again.

That sounds just about right. It's over 2 years now (in my case) and the Halifax Bank still refuses to co-operate with me as a legally appointed Executor. They also refused to co-operate with my Solicitor and a court appointed Administrator. Before anybody attempts to tell me what the Halifax Bank can do, or for that matter can't do, I am aware of the law and my rights. Unfortunately they just seem do what they want (As do Kraft after its Hostile takeover of Cadbury, and now Thomas Cook breaking Abta Rules, E.U Compensation Laws and Contract Law. Why? Because put simply THEY CAN. Toothless regulators we have a plenty in the UK.

 

Having written to a Mr James Brown, of the Halifax Bank Retail Fraud Department, it would appear that this gentleman (apparently) can not only read minds, but also has a Spirit Medium for guidance. Flippant? Not if you read the letter that came from this gentleman. Does James Brown exist? I doubt it. He won't speak to me on the phone and never rings me back.

 

The Police? stop watching your flat screen, 3D televisions please .

 

 

 

Every query and every attempt to get the truth from the Halifax Bank has been ignored. The fos is an organisation that is best left well alone, as are your local MP and the Treasury Select Committee. Just do not even waste your time, petrol (diesel in my case) postage, phone costs or your bus fare with ANY of the above miscreants. Only two things spring to mind with these organisations or people

  • Vested Interests
  • Flood Gates

Once you have removed their individual or joint vested interests, just watch the flood gates open in court cases, damages and justified awards. Sadly it will never be that simple, or for that matter happen, for obvious reasons.

 

Its hard to believe that Banking was once a Quaker Industry. Their belief was that money was only worth something if it was put to the common good. I suppose, in a way, it is these days as well; it goes to those that have plenty... and just want more. Their belief is that it's to their good, and to doubt that fact is common.

 

I am now waiting for more information on this matter. Once I have it you will be amazed at what did really go on with the Halifax Bank. (I know what went on..I am just waiting for confirmation from several sources for legal reasons).

Tired of phoning the Halifax Retail Fraud department on 0845 numbers? This is the number that the Police (when they can be bothered) and other Busines users use.

 

Its 01422 394994. Save yourself at least some money. Satisfaction? unlikely !!!!

 

Any comments in relation to this outfit gratefully received !!!

Since posting the above, I have been advised by ReallyMadWoman that if you make a complaint to the Assessor or the FOS about the FOS. Then your original complaint against the bank/whoever will then go on hold whilst they investigate your complaint about the FOS :rolleyes:

 

So it may just be worth holding off until your original complaint has been completed.

 

I like the sounds of that.

Those of you who followed my previous posts will, no doubt, be interested in further developments.

These developments include The Halifax Bank, West Mercia Police, The Bank Of Ireland, The National Westminster Bank, the IPCC and Baydonhill. The other individual organisations involved will appear in peripheral parts of this story.

 

I wish to make it extremely clear from the outset of this story that, both the National Westminster Bank and Baydonhill, behaved without reproach from the very beginning. It was only with their combined help I was able to uncover some of the salient facts (although not all). The Bank Of Ireland acted as an intermediary and therefore they were only a conduit for funds that eventually reached Spain.

 

The National Westminster Bank provided me with cheques going back over a period of roughly five years. Going through these cheques and statements with the Branch Manager, he said he had found numerous dubious transactions, and that the signatures on the cheques in some cases diiffered from cheque to cheque. He also stated that it appeared from the account statements he had, that my fathers account had been systematically plundered (his words not mine).

 

 

The transactions in relation to Spain were, unfortunately, done through the Halifax Bank. I believed initially, because of the way the Halifax Bank prepare their statements, that there had in fact been a cash withdrawl of over 100k. The Halifax let me continue to believe this by firstly insisting that they could give no further information unless it was to my Solicitor. When I then employed a Solicitor they refused to deal with him unless my fathers Will had gone through probate.

 

What I then discovered was even stranger. It wasn't a cash withdrawl from the Halifax Bank but a BACS payment (thanks to Baydonhill). This had been done on a computer (also using a fax machine) by a partially sighted, 88 year old man who was, to all intents and purposes, illiterate. At this point in time, according to his medical records, he even had difficulty administering his own medication. He was also using various cash machines on a regular basis.

 

It became clear that something was patently wrong. 2 years later the Halifax Bank are still refusing to supply details of that transaction and the paperwork involved. This also includes the signatures in the DEAL with Baydonhill

 

West Mercia Police interviewed the alledged suspect, over the telephone, and asked him if he was involved. When he replied "no" they asked him to put it in writing and closed the case. Their actions were then subject to a formal complaint which they rejected. The complaint was upheld by the IPCC. A second complaint against West Mercia Police to the IPCC was dismissed. At this point in time, for legal reasons, I cannot go in to the background of this because a further complaint is pending.

 

The Halifax Bank are still refusing to supply details of this signature to a court appointed Administrator.

A handwriting expert has confirmed that the cheques from the National Westminster Bank are forged, but still needs the signature from the BACS payment (as a 'back-up'). This is the signature the Halifax Bank still refuse to supply. As a matter of interest West Mercia Police refused to have the cheques verified because it wasn't in the interests of the "Public Purse".

 

Remember this;

 

The fos did absolutely nothing.

 

IPCC cannot take new evidence on a previous complaint (even if it can be proved no prior investigation was made by the investigating force).

 

As a Beneficiary you have little or no rights to ascertain relevant or past financial dealings of a deceased party of which you are named in a Will.

 

West Mercia Police seemed more interested in the Public Purse than the Public Good. At no point in time did West Mercia Police approach or contact the Halifax Bank, The National Westminster Bank or Baydonhill.

 

As an Executor you have a right and a legal duty to the Estate to uncover all assets. The Halifax Bank refused to supply me with relevant

information although they were duty bound to do so. It's worth remembering that you are legally liable for discrepancies and any tax due

in the future.

 

If you are either an Executor or a Beneficiary and you cross paths with the Halifax Bank, be very, very careful. Double check everything and do not take no for an answer.

 

 

 

 

There is obviously more but for those of you interested have a look at www. Times Online beneficiary fraud.

 

Although it dates from 2005, you will be extremely surprised at the content. It's an excellent article, but more importantly, the people and costs involved are staggering. The then article promises drastic changes (by MP's of course) in a system that is flawed. No surprise then that in 2011 absolutely nothing has changed (although you can no longer, as an MP, purchase a 'duck house', get your Moat cleaned or claim allowances on a property owned by a family member).

I apologise for the delay in any kind of update on this matter recently. There have been several delays, all ending with a rather disturbing dead end. It came as no surprise when I was informed, by my Solicitor, that the Halifax Bank could find no signature in relation to monies withdrawn from a savings account for a BACS payment. For over two years, the Halifax Bank have used every trick in the book not to disclose this information. Now they say they cannot find it after dozens of requests going back to 2009. (Numerous complaints on this issue were totally ignored by the Halifax Bank over a two year period).

 

The issues raised are disturbing. It shows that the fos, who initially told the Halifax Bank to disclose this information to me, and then later stated that the Halifax Bank did not need to disclose this information to me at all, are culpable. The figures involved are now in the region of 150k, and my own allied enquiries go back to over a decade, in separate issues now involving the Halifax Bank

 

West Mercia Police? Having spoken with several seasoned Police Officers they found the whole issue quite bizarre. They had never in their service years heard of anybody being questioned over the telephone in a matter of fraud. EVER !. The question each one raised was simple. How would you know who you were talking to? (unless you knew them).

 

Its interesting to note that other organisations are now involved, and on some surprising new issues. However it is a salutory warning of what can happen if you do not question everything. The account in question was disclosed by honest local branch staff. The Halifax Bereavement Centre spent two years trying to make it go away. It hasn't trust me.

 

If you look at the Halifax Bereavement Centre Website it says "specialist advice relating to any account held with us". A total fallacy. Be very careful indeed !!!!!

 

www.timesonline.co.uk look at Wills and why you can be cheated !!

Think you replied to my original reply? It makes disturbing reading in the sense that, since 2005, the promised legislation has never appeared. No doubt with the economic downturn, this particular crime will increase even more

Yes, it seems to be a national problem rather than unique to those who experience it, although you feel it's so personal to you when your the victim. It's a disgrace..

If you look the word up in any dictionary, it seems to convey exactly what fraud pertaining to a deceased individual means..wicked...villainous. Just a few final words on this subject.

 

I never knew a man who could tell so many lies.

He had a different story for every pair of eyes.

How can he remember who he's talking to?

'Cause I know it ain't me, and I hope it isn't you.

 

Many thanks to Neil Young (1974).

 

Couldn't have put it better myself.

 

Whilst I have promised in the past to print the full story, this has not been possible for legal reasons. This is should be finalised in the coming weeks and then I will submit the story as an article.

 

Many thanks for all those who have helped with advice... but you can't beat a system with so many failings.
