    • 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.

Thanks you in advance for your time taken considering my difficulty and your help.

 

I am currently £10,000 in arrears with my mortgage of £299,995 and have been unable to make payments now for 3 months (£1400 approx monthly). The majority of the arrears were accrued in 2009 and since then I have had an arrangement to pay interest only which i have kept to until 3 months ago.

 

My job lost it's funding last August 2010 and since then I have been working on a self employed basis and also selling most of what I owned to keep up to date with the agreement however, my father suddenly became ill earlier in the year and my mother was unable to care for him due to disability so I chose to step up and as a consequence my earnings have been almost zero for the past few months.

 

I have been in regular contact with NRAM and asked them to allow me to pay only £500 for a few months until I get back on my feet however they point blank refuse and have said they will continue with legal action unless I pay the full £10 000 and also make full payments to the mortgage. I understand their position, they want to get what we agreed!

 

I have 2 children (the youngest is 2 years old) and I have no idea of how to deal with this situation?

 

I have had the house valued and if I sell it will just clear the mortgage, I am prepared to do that however, i am concerned that I will put it on the market and NRAM will repossess anyway, does anyone know if they will negotiate on that point please?

 

I will be grateful for all helpful suggestions and advice and thank you again for your time and help.

Hi, I am getting info and help, probs just looking for a little reassurance in my scenario, however after bottiling this up with Mrs for 2 yr and staving of 6 evictions we had a heart to heart and got a lot of our chests to our advantage, now we have 3 choices..

 

1 We have a viewing for our property soon and if an offer is made then its sold....

2 We hand back the keys after our letter of intention to the Mortgage company

3 I advise the courts that we will not defend the next eviction ( looming ) and let the eviction take place.

 

In the meantime I am looking at renting private and that will reduce my outgoings by £1200.00 per month, and I wont have the pressure of finding my contractual payment each month, and fighting possesion orders with N244's.

Hi All

 

WOW, Just as I pressed ' post quick reply' the post fell through the letterbox, and yes1 its from NRAM advising me that they have enforced possesion and a bailiff will be here soon with the date of eviction, unless we pay full amount of arrears. approx 5k.

 

Ok as I mention above in my choices, do we keep the house, do we let them have it? what about shortfall etc, can I remove my fitted kitchen, bathroom,wardrobes, double glazing, garden sheds, playhouses, carpets etc.

 

Maybe browse post 8. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?319453-Eviction(2-Viewing)-nbsp

 

Any advice would be good, but believe me I am in no panick whatsoever as my health and fammily are far more important than the worry.

 

Once we decide what to do, shall / can I apply to the courts for more time to ' move out etc? '

If you want to sell, then go ahead and put the property on the market. If the mortgagee proceeds with court action, you can simply request that the court adjourn the case to give you time to sell (this is guaranteed to work if you have a realistic buyer at the time of the hearing, if you do not, then the decision whether to allow you time will be up to the judge, so you should have compelling arguments to persuade him/her). Certainly the mortgagee should be prepared to negotiate with you right up to the last moment - including after a possession order has been granted (but obviously before eviction has taken place). Most high street lenders will follow the pre-action protocol before taking you into court, which includes considering your plans to market the property.

 

Realistically, unless you have concrete proof of your finances changing in the very near future, and being able to maintain not only the current mortgage instalment but something towards the arrears also, then a judge is going to have a hard time finding in your favour at a repossession hearing.

 

You appear to be being realistic - you know that selling the house will (hopefully) clear the mortgage - and given that you have small children, it is likely that the local authority will have to assist you with re-housing (not guaranteed, but usually an option).

Hi

 

Lea_HTH - Thanks for your input, I've now received a letter from NRAM ststing that they have passed my account to solicitors to proceed with court action!

 

Please, If anyone is able to give me advice on how long this process is likely to take from now until the court action and then I guess the subsequent repossession I would really appreciate that, I am really dreading my daughter finding out that we have to move as she is really settled and has zero idea that we are in such a mess financially.

 

Thanks for any information that you can offer.

Hi there, if they have applied for a court hearing date then you should receive a claim pack from the court within the next two weeks - the hearing date will probably be set for 4 - 6 weeks after you receive the claim, so you have somewhere between 6 and 8 weeks before you have to attend a hearing. That should give you time to get the house valued and on the market, make sure you have a copy of the estate agents contract and also copy newspaper adverts/brochure etc. so you have proof to take to the court that you are selling. If you are fortunate to get a buyer in that time then a letter from your solicitor stating what stage the conveyancing is at would be helpful.You should start the ball rolling tomorrow to give yourself as much time as possible. Would you be able to rent privately nearby where you live now ? might be an idea to start looking for somewhere now so you have a safety net.

Hi Ell-enn

 

Thanks so much for your help, I really do appreciate it as this is really difficult to deal with.

I wonder what the likely time scale will be for having to leave the house after the court hearing? I don't know if I will be able to rent locally because my credit rating is now very poor, does anyone have experience of this they can share please?

 

Thanks to everyone for your help :)

If you are unable to make payments going forward the court would likely issue a 28 day possession order. This means that you have 28 days to vacate the property - if you don't leave by that date then the lender will apply for an eviction warrant and you would receive this from the court giving a date that the bailiffs will arrive to evict you.

 

So in essence you would probably have 28 days + perhaps another 2 - 3 weeks maximum. When you receive the eviction warrant you can go to your local housing office and ask if they can rehouse you as you have 2 children.

 

(I've just realised I have replied on the other thread you posted on - so will keep to this one now)

Hi Ell-enn

 

Thanks for your replies to both posts :)

 

I have now received a date for a court hearing in 4 weeks time and I would really value some additional advice please from anyone that would like to help.

 

There really is very little prospect of me being able to offer a satisfactory plan to repay my arrears and meet my monthly contractual obligation for at least another 3 months as business has taken a dive since I took time out a few months ago to look after my father when he was ill, it seems likely that the judge will therefore grant a possession order to NRAM.

 

What I wonder;

 

1. Is there any way that I can delay the repossession/eviction until after the Christmas period because It will be awful to disrupt my kids over Christmas and I want to stay until January if there is any way to do that?

 

2. I have had the house valued by three agents and am putting it on to the market today, can I use this as a bargaining tool in court and request that because a sale is the best prospect for repaying the debt quickly the court allow us to stay until we sell, If this is possible how likely is it that the court will go with it?

 

3. I have other debts that I am unable to repay and I wonder if I was to declare myself bankrupt before the possession hearing will that delay the hearing and enable us to stay in the house until the official receiver deals with the bankruptcy? If it will then does anyone know for how long.... will it be long enough to get us through to January?

 

4. I may be able to arrange for alternative accommodation from Mid January as a friend is prepared to allow me to use their property which has a tenant who is leaving in early January. If I make the court aware of this what is the prospect of them and the lender agreeing to let us stay in the property until then?

 

Thanks to you all for your anticipated advice and help with this matter and I hope it is clear enough and not too complex!

HI, sorry for delay - I'm still having trouble with formatting

 

1. Is there any way that I can delay the repossession/eviction until after the Christmas period because It will be awful to disrupt my kids over Christmas and I want to stay until January if there is any way to do that?There is some case law we can use in your defence whereby we can ask the court to allow you to pay reduced payments for a short period of time while the property is being sold. You will need proof from the estate agency (usually your contract with them), a list of viewings and any adverts placed in newspapers on internet.

2. I have had the house valued by three agents and am putting it on to the market today, can I use this as a bargaining tool in court and request that because a sale is the best prospect for repaying the debt quickly the court allow us to stay until we sell, If this is possible how likely is it that the court will go with it? See answer above.

3. I have other debts that I am unable to repay and I wonder if I was to declare myself bankrupt before the possession hearing will that delay the hearing and enable us to stay in the house until the official receiver deals with the bankruptcy? If it will then does anyone know for how long.... will it be long enough to get us through to January?That would not delay the claim for possession or the hearing.

4. I may be able to arrange for alternative accommodation from Mid January as a friend is prepared to allow me to use their property which has a tenant who is leaving in early January. If I make the court aware of this what is the prospect of them and the lender agreeing to let us stay in the property until then?.No need to tell them that just yet, if you were unlucky enough for the court to order a 28 day possession order, you could wait until the 28 days are up and the lender applied for an eviction order – that’s when you would defend again and state you have somewhere to go mid January and ask for an extension. ..Given you have young children you would be more than likely successful. Plus the fact you may have a sale proceeding on the house.

Hi Ell-enn

 

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions, you are a great support.

 

The answers are very clear and the formatting is fine, I will probably have another question or two once I have had time to take this all in.

 

Thanks again!
