    • 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.

Wondered if anyone can help. New manager made life hell due to her voiced christian beliefs and once found out I was gay passed me over for promotion in April although gave me highest perfomer and gave bonus from work done with previous manager. Then after being in post 7 months she made allegations back in April 2011 but never started investigation just gathering facts she said and continued having meeetings with me monthly, no investigation ever discussed and no supervisions. This went on and was asnswering same questions over again giving reports.

 

Got to point in November said she might investigate or I could resign as I said couldn't continue under stress. I had already gone to other department and I told her to whistle blow about her incompatance around contracts, budgets and staff management.

 

She said resign and that would be end of the matter for me and gave me 5 weeks leave and told me just to go. I wrote a letter and said I was resigning with understanding of no further actions (was told that to get reference they could say investigation if they had done one?) and she would provide reference....this was agreed in email from her.

 

 

So left in November...paid until December 31st and believed to be end of matter. heard nothing then Police knocked on door last Monday say they had received a complaint. The details of complaint were more or less same questions asked over and over again when there and some of it obviously just malicious and unfounded.

 

 

Question is they owe me for travel as claim went in before I left so do I need to go to tribunal for that or county court.....and does this amount to constructive dismissal on grounds of victimisation and sexual orientation.

 

Any help appreciated.

I should have been more specific - the situation is very different if you were paid in lieu of notice, as this would mean the claim was out of time. If you were on garden leave until 31 December, you'd still have until 30 March to bring your claim.

Thank you so much for responding......I will see if I can speak to a solicitor about this on Monday although I have googled tribunal and it looks like I can do it online myself..I wonder if anyone has had experience of this before.....sorry to be a pain but can't afford a solicitor to be honest!

Hi

 

Just wondering since previous employer got the police involved some time after you left their employment, what did the police make of the complaint made against you and did you get a written report from the police?

 

If the police did not make anything of the complaint then IMO your previous employer getting them involved could also be seen as Defamation of Character I may be wrong thou but others will advise.

Yes you're right, it can be done online and by yourself, in fact this is the way that ETs were initially set up.

 

You need to get your claim form in ASAP. If you use your November date as the last day in employment then it's out of time, so best to try the December date. When was your final day in employment on your p45, and why do you believe you were employed until December if you left in November?

Cant see it would be defamation, and there really is no mileage in pursing that one. If the employer believed that a criminal offence had taken place(even if later proved otherwise) its not defamation to call the Police.

There is another aspect to considering a county court action. Obviously we have no idea what the police allegation was but when considering taking your former employer to the CC apart from merely defending an action in the county court, it may be a consideration for your employer to also issue counterclaims over allegations, and these might not even be related to the facts of your case. Say for example the allegation to police was for misuse of company funds or expenses, even if the Police said it was not a crime the employer could take out civil proceedings.

 

I think what I am saying is before taking action that you later regret that you get a full and considered legal opinion from a solicitor who is in possession of all the facts. Forums being as they are do not get all necessary facts for posters to give balanced opinions, they merely go on what has been posted. Remember costs can be granted for both sides and you could find yourself well out of pocket should you not get this right.

Thanks for all your help. Employer hadn't investigated but said ahe was gathering facts and when I finally snappped due to the meetings and continuos insinuations I had something wrong she said if i wasn't happy then I should resign. She said that would be the end of the matter for me and she had advice from her manager and HR and then agreed my terms of resignation in last week of Novemebr which were no further actions against me, I get a reference and they pay me until Dec31. Wish I had stayed now and fought my corner and forced them to investigate to clear my name. Looks like she just got me out of the way....she has interviewed and took statements from staff and clients so don't stand a chance if it goes th court as they will now say whatever was said against me. Policy says to investigate if she thought I had dome something wrong back in May 2011 and inform police then.....police asked me same questions she has asked me about 7 or 8 times and am so confused........understand why people lose faith and give up and take easy way out and this is how I feel after only a week after police visited me...... just wanted to say thank you again for your replies and I will put a claim in tomorrow for expenses but will consider claim for victimisation after reading a bit more about it......

Still feeling sick as a chip....apparently employed has now sent an email to all staff in the area to not contact me, my partner or family as I am under investigation!! God knows what they must all be thinking.....my partner or family never worked for them so why they should victimise them I don't know?

It is quite normal for an employer or ex employer to tell staff not to contact someone in these sort of situations, but without knowing the type of investigation its hard to say if its reasonable. i would say that your ex employer must believe thay have some sort of case as its been going on for so long so it may not be victimisation. have you spoken to a solicitor at all? as they may be able to speed things up and get to the bottom of this.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.

This is a quick one if anyone can help. I have completed the form for my expenses to go to tribunal and have now found out today that an agency I applied to work had received a phone call on 24 Feb from employed to retract my reference. Just to clarify, I gave notice, no investigation had started before I left or I presume during my notice period as I was given the reference? I left with a letter from employed saying no further action against me and guaranteed reference (in writing). They have now retracted reference after I have left and totally disregarded terms of my resignation. I have not been charged with anything by police yet and this happened on 24 March anyway....I have not been able to defend any of the allegations although worried about police action that could take months...what do I do in the meantime about a reference.

 

Any help appreciated as deadline for claim form is 31st.....can I claim for lost earnings or victimisation?
