    • 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.

sex offenders to be given lie detectors

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18916405

i read the news this morning and my natural instincts on reading the piece was, good!

until i read a little further and found they are now thinking of introducing this for people in work, i forsee the day, where employers will be forcing employees to take these tests.

and it raises further problems, what if you could possibly be convicted in court because of these tests? nothing this govt does no longer surprises me.

I think we've just taken the first step on a very slippery slope. Polygraphs are complete junk science. One day, people will look at them the same way as they do people who dowse.

 

The only possible benefit is that some people might tell the truth out of fear of being found out.

I like it!

 

There's no denying that when a person lies uncontrollable changes happen that a lie detector picks up - and I know that Jeremy Kyle has bad press, but all those who fail do then go on to admit they lied.

 

I'm hoping they can be brought n for all those suspected/accused peadophiles/rapists who have potentially got away scott free - I know of a couple of people who'll be sweating over this in case they do allow this to be taken further!

The problem is it is not a 100% science, it's open to interpretation. They can also be beaten with different techniques, and the guilty will learn those and the innocent will not putting the results even further askew than they already are.

 

Lets convict people of a crime because their is proof that they commited it, rather than the witch hunt that is a lie detector test.

I agree. A lie detector can only give a probability that someone is lying. That is nowhere near proof that is required.

I suffer with constant high blood pressure and have the occasional panic attack. I am sure either of them would cause the

machine to give alarm bells. I am not sure exactly how they work, but it's got to be something to do with nerve reactions

after getting asked certain questions. Everyone that is suspected of a crime should just be put in front of Judge Judy.

According to her, she can tell a mile away if someone is lying just by looking at them.:|

 

The best (and proven method) way to tell if someone is lying is to just tell them to stick their tongue out.

 

If it's blue. They're lying.........Simples.:razz: (see....mines red).

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)

I don't think high blood pressure or panic/anxiety has anything to do with how they determine the results (I remember watching a docu about how the machine actually picks up those tiny signals when we're trying to be deceptive).

 

There were people there who generally suffered from extreme anxiety anyway, that causes sweating, palpitations, raised blood pressure etc etc - we all know what the symptoms of anxiety are, they're not nice either lol!

 

Apparently this is why they do the test questions, such as asking your name, date of birth etc, if you're anxious, you'll be anxious no matter what you're being asked.

 

But when we're being deceptive, the body gives of a whole new set of reactions and symptoms, as the body releases different chemicals for different reactions - such as adrenaline, serotonin etc etc - it is those VERY subtle reactions that the body unknowingly gives of when we're being deceptive that is picked up - it doesn't matter if we're sweating like an anxious wotsit in a sauna, or that our blood pressure is raised, they account for all that from the strict and in depth test samples they take before hand, and they eliminate each persons normal anxiety reaction.

 

A little bit like "white coat syndrome", that a lot of people suffer from - just because they have white coat syndrome doesn't mean they can't still have high blood pressure.

 

I understand the witch hunt aspect of this, as that what humans tend to do - but think on the flip side of this, someone who has been wrongly accused? This use of lie detection could very well clear their name!

There is a tv program you can get called Penn & Teller Bull***t. They exposed polygraphs for the quack (sorry duckwaddler) science that they are.

There's loads of MOJ's in the States because of lie detector tests. One I can think of off the top of my head was a kid who failed a polygraph while being questioned over a girl who was murdered at or after a party. He got several false positives throughout the test, because the questions indirectly related to the possession and use of drugs. He didn't answer truthfully because he would have had to admit to using and possessing (I think) cocaine. What followed was a bunch of Keystone Cops constructing a case around a lie detector test, and totally ignoring any actual evidence. I don't remember how long he spent in prison, but it was a long time. The only reason he was ever released is because the DNA at the crime scene was eventually matched to another sex offender, through testing done via The Innocence Project.

 

On the subject of Jeremy Kyle, I know someone who appeared on that show, lied through her teeth and passed with flying colours.

Yep, they can't be used if the said person is on drugs or pregnant as this affects the results.

 

A person who lies and passes is someone who actually believes their own lies, as if you believe your own lies your body won't react - I hope they're not a friend of yours? :lol:

 

The drugs/pregnant part would be easy to get around - however the problem of a calculated liar wouldn't!

No, he didn't get false positives because he was on drugs at the time - he got a false positive because he was answering untruthfully because he didn't want to get into trouble about the drugs. Like many people, he made the mistake of believing that because he was genuinely innocent of the murder, he wouldn't be found guilty and justice would prevail. The man who was actually guilty in that case went on to commit a string of rapes and two more murders in the time the innocent man was in prison, all of which would have been prevented had the Police in question actually followed the evidence rather than the polygraph results. The point is, polygraphs are fallible for a myriad of reasons, and it's dangerous to rely on the results they give. As someone said up-thread, lets find people guilty (or not) based on the evidence - not based on whether a machine thinks they are.

 

No definitely not a friend, she's a highly unpleasant human being. Personally, I think she passed because she's too stupid to feel guilt or paranoia (and I'm not joking). Her husband is a paranoid schizophrenic - I find it completely bizarre and quite wrong that he was encouraged to appear on something like Jeremy Kyle, when he's quite clearly very unwell. That's another story, though.

The obvious joke: My doctor says I'm a paranoid schizophrenic... well, he didn't exactly say it, but we both knew thats what he was thinking.

Oh I completely believe you - sociopaths have absolutely no feelings of love or compassion, let alone guilt - so it wouldn't surprise in the least that she passed! Thank God she's no friend of yours :lol:

Love those jokes! :lol:

 

But yes again - most serial killers are or have high sociopathic levels, so no surprise there!

 

I would love to have a go at taking a lie detector though, I reckon It'd be interesting - I love anything about human psychology, body language and behaviour! The only downside to having a huge interest is - you know what clear signs to look out for when people are being deceptive, which then makes you realise that a high majority of people can't be trusted :lol:

Sociopaths/psychopaths/borderlines are notorious for getting through lie detectors. I question whether they would be that effective in relation to genuine paedophiles, too - many paedophiles don't feel guilt about what they're doing because they don't feel it's wrong (ie. they believe that the "relationship" is loving and consensual). That leaves us with child molestors, and quite a lot of them are socio/psychopaths. I have no doubt that it might encourage a few to tell the truth regarding their whereabouts/current urges in case they get caught out, but in all honesty I think it's more likely to drive them underground and drop off the radar so they can avoid the test in the first place.

 

Duck, I cannot explain how horrendous that woman is. I don't think she's sociopathic, she's just...very, very dull. One of those people who lurch through life crisis to crisis, most of which she causes herself (for example, attempting to settle differences in her marriage by dragging her mentally ill husband onto a TV chat show).
