    • The Notice to Hirer does not comply with the protection of Freedoms Act 2012 Schedule  4 . This is before I ask if Europarks have sent you a copy of the PCN they sent to Arval along with a copy of the hire agreement et. if they haven't done that either you are totally in the clear and have nothing to worry about and nothing to pay. The PCN they have sent you is supposed to be paid by you according to the Act within 21 days. The chucklebuts have stated 28 days which is the time that motorists have to pay. Such a basic and simple thing . The Act came out in 2012 and still they cannot get it right which is very good news for you. Sadly there is no point in telling them- they won't accept it because they lose their chance to make any money out of you. they are hoping that by writing to you demanding money plus sending in their  unregulated debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors that you might be so frightened as to pay them money so that you can sleep at night. Don't be surprised if some of their letters are done in coloured crayons-that's the sort of  level of people you will be dealing with. Makes great bedding for the rabbits though. Euro tend not to be that litigious but while you can safely ignore the debt collectors just keep an eye out for a possible Letter of Claim. They are pretty rare but musn't be ignored. Let us know so that you can send a suitably snotty letter to them showing that you are not afraid of them and are happy to go to Court as you like winning.  
    • 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,

      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.

I'm getting plagued by the little [edits] in my conservatory. I've used insecticide on them but they keep coming back. Any help would be much appreciated.

if know where the nest is

just use that white powder wasp nest killer in wicks or WHY.

 

as for the conservatory - again , you need to find the nest, it must be nearby too.

 

if its outside then petrol in a sprayer works great

 

dont even have to light it!

Are you talking about real waspy wasps..... or those smaller hover fly type things that look similar?

 

A friend and I had the same problem last year in our conservatories (with hover flies or whatever they are) and we both trotted off to the garden centre for some carnivorous plants. I hung one up around the top of my conservatory and it sorted the problem. My friend put hers just outside her conservatory and I couldn't believe how many insects were in the tubes of those plants!!!:!: Mine were not full like that.... it had to be seen to be believed!!!

 

Sorted the problem though for under £10.... Result!! :-)

It's quite amusing to have a play with those hover flies. They will always stay the same distance from your hand if you slowly put a finger towards one. It will back off and then if you move your hand away, it will follow it.

 

I just thought I'd say that - I know, I need to get a life :)

Unfortunately, if I get stung by one of these little buggers it might well be the end of me, given the severity of what happened last time. I like the flame thrower approach but I don't like the idea of burning my conservatory down - 'er indoors would not be best pleased and would probably cancel the chandelier olympics for some time.

I have the same problem under the panelling by our front door. I am calling in a local expert today to get rid of the nest. I can't get near it to spray the nest with a Wasp killing spray, £3.00 in B&Q.. .

 

The sting on these is quite severe, had a lump on my head the size of a marble within seconds of being stung. Don't get too close Fred they will protect the Queen at all costs, get a professional in.

Rebel11's idea reminds me of the things we used to do to wasps when we were kids (we were quite adorable really)....get an ordinary jam jar - the type with the ordinary tin lid. There just needs to be the scrapings of the jam left in the jar. You make a hole in the just big enough for a wasp to get in - which believe me they will do, once in the jar they are trapped and can't get back out. You'll be surprised how many you catch.

 

As there is a nest nearby, I would also take the advice of the others and get a spray for the nest or get professionals in.But the jar should catch any strays.

 

This just leaves the problem of what to do with a jar of live wasps. I just hope nobody does anything like sending them to a DCA or anything like that. Dear me no.

I had a little fly problem a few years ago at my last address. Within two days the rear lobby was full of the bloody things. Thousands. My back door was old so we knew how they got in but they wouldn't go back out! As a last resort I sprayed a whole can of insecticide (breathed in a rather dangerous amount) then shut the kitchen door and taped it air tight, or as good as. The following day I had to clear away thousands of dead flies that looked remarkably like small wasps. The problem only happened that once in the six years I lived there and the back door was replaced soon after.

I think dx100k is really onto something here...conservation and recycling. Once the jar is full you could freeze the wasps, empty and re use the jar. The sleeping wasps would be transported as far away from you as possible maybe in some sort of envelope or something, they would then wake up unharmed and carry on as nature intended.

If it were Bees I'd agree, but what do Wasps actually do? Without Bees apparently mankind would struggle to survive.

Don't worry mate, I won't. I got stung on the lip about 10 years ago - looked liked I'd just gone a couple of rounds with Mike Tyson. I don't even know where the nest is, it might be in my next door neighbour's garden.

Double their rent. Play them a Val Doonican song. A small nuke.

 

Joking aside, the experts got rid of ours in less than 15 minutes. 2 or 3 blasts of powder and gone.
