    • 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.

Anyway davewright, you still haven't explained the dichotomy between your claim that the shop staff' have a duty (or indeed the basis for that duty), to ask for receipts, and your other claim that no-one can just accuse anyone of anything.

 

Ok Pimpy. ;)

 

If a member of staff (mainly security) thinks anything is untowards with a customer whether it be there not fit to be in the shop or they think that a customer hasn't paid for an item then they have a duty not only for themselves but for their employers to make sure that they take the appropriate action. Whether that is removing them from the shop, asking to see their receipt or phoning the police then so be it.

 

As mentioned before if the member of staff thinks that there is a problem then they are there to sort it out. If someone asks me for my receipt then if i think they are a member of staff i will show them without any questions asked. If you fail to show your receipt then it can in my eyes either be that you are too arrogant or that you have done something wrong.

 

If i was the member of staff at the time and i asked the customer to show me their receipt and they refused then alarm bells would ring. You as a customer have the right to do what you please but if it's failing to uphold the law or comply with the shops rules then you'll have to face the consequences. :)

 

What makes me laugh and think it's arrogance personified is the following: Ian Valentine Quotes: "The first officer then asked if I minded showing him my receipt for the purchased goods, and as he is an officer of the law I duly obliged"

 

My thoughts to that "take your head out of your bottom sir"

Which bit of my explanation of the need not to be judgmental did you not understand?

 

I do not think, despite your circumloquacious post above, that your contributions are serving any purpose in helping the OP.

In this instance you are right that i'm not helping the op but to be fair i don't really think they need help do they?

 

Let me ask you this?

 

Does the OP need your help or were they simply venting? My conclusion reading his full post is that they are venting and not wishing for help?

 

I've not come here to argue with anyone but to give an honest account of what i see and if that's something that won't be tolerated then the exit door is looming. :)

A security guard in a shop has nor right to ask you to show them your receipt, has not right to detain you and has no right to search you. They can ask but you can refuse. If they detain you i.e. citizens arrest they need proof of theft and if no proof is forthcoming they have unlawfully detained the person and are open to having criminal charges laid against them.

My thoughts are that in this case the security guard was just trying to be awkward or show off and he came unstuck as there was no legal obligation to produce the receipt. As a matter of fact, once you have paid for the goods, there is no legal obligation for you to keep the receipt as the onus is on the retailer to prove that you did not pay for the goods.

Received telephone call from the store 5pm today 19th Feb offering "vouchers" by way of an apology, so informed them that it was not about the vouchers it was about clearing my name publicly, making sure they put in place safeguards to prevent repitition, and financial compensation for the detention, distress etc caused. Informed store it is in the hands of their CEO and that i will deal with him to resolve the settlement.

 

That as got to make you laugh? Vouchers LOL.

 

Were they spend £40 and you get £5 off? LOL

If your judgment is that someone doesn't need help, then don't post on the thread - it's a simple concept.

 

 

Let me ask you this?

 

Does the OP need your help or were they simply venting? My conclusion reading his full post is that they are venting and not wishing for help?

 

 

See above; if, after reading the full post, you think that no help is needed, then you need do nothing. There are times when the help that's needed is the ability to vent; I see this regularly in my work.

 

I've not come here to argue with anyone

 

 

Epic fail so far, then.

Good goly man this is becoming personal. LOL

 

How can anyone not post on this thread with the headline "Kidnapped by Asda for refusing to Show Receipt on Exit"?

 

On one of your previous posts you say that people come here for help and to be fair other than his thread i really think the man needs help but defo not from you or i. :)

 

I won't post on this thread again as i hope you now know where i stand on this. ;)

Dave you seem to either be trolling or condescending in most of the threads you post in. This forum is to HELP people. Not belittle them. If you want to do that, then go somewhere else.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Subbing.

 

That dave blokes a bit on the loquacious side of verbage for CAG, isnt he?

 

Yeah, lets all roll over and let the dudes in errrrrm... bullet proof 100% polyester hi-vis jackets kick us around!

 

No- stand your ground and show them their true position in life, like that ASDA (SELF SNIP) is now discovering.

Thank you for your kind words and no i'm not a troll and as mentioned i like to speak my mind. Helping is in my nature to which you'll see if given the chance but again like i've said before what help did Ian need?

This isnt a platform for davewright to speak his mind, you are trolling.

 

CAG is for the vulnerable and those scared witless by the oppressive world that Britain has been allowed to become and its going to get worse.

 

People need to know they dont have to take this carp. By reading Ian's story, others who find themselves in the same situation wll know that it is the shop that has to back any evidence of intent to steal goods, rather than the shopper having to prove otherwise.

 

There is more going here on CAG than you think dave.

 

Very few Caggers will contribute, but this thread and all the others will eventually be read by many thousands of people, some Caggers and some guests looking for advice and information and you have no idea what is going on in their minds or what drew them here.

 

Best to save speaking your mind and instead, make your advice non-judgemental, friendly and supporting OR simply keep your half baked opinions to yourself and butt out, unless you have something kind and useful to add.

Hi folks.

As I have stated previously I work in several of the large supermarket chains for an independent company. Today I was in one of them and heard what I thought was a bit of banter between a customer and a security guard. What it actually was, was the guard asking to see the customers receipt and the customer being very abusive, including racial abuse. The guard, after several requests, just said to the customer that he could leave as he couldn't detain him, but he would give his description to the store management. The customer went away still being abusive and the guard just wrote it down in his log book. Just an observation and a counter point of action.

That sounds like the security guard was well trained, remained calm and did his job correctly.

There's no excuse for racial abuse.

 

Of course, the guard could have called the police because of the racial element, but presumably the guard would then have to explain what offence he had accused or suspected the customer of committing in the first place.

 

I must remember, next time someone insults me, the riposte: "desist at once, or I might describe you to a shop manager!"

For all the big people who think it's no big deal, let me tell you a little story...

 

A friend of my daughter's (all her friends come to me when they need any kind of semi-legal opinion, even now!) contacted me a few months back, she was absolutely terrified. She had been confronted by a security guard who wanted to check her receipt (sounds familiar?), she had her screaming baby with her needing changing and feeding, so she asked why, he got stroppy, intimidated her, forcibly marched her (and screaming baby) to the office, rifled through her bag, took her personal info, and then let her go with a "And remember, I know where you live now!". She got home shell-shocked and immediately contacted me.

 

I of course advised her, pretty much on the lines of nearly anyone here, told her to complain straight away etc... The supermarket did take it seriously and said they'd investigate and get back to her.

 

The next day, the guy turned up at her door (thankfully, she didn't open, only looked through the peephole), ranting and raving that he'd been sacked and that she'd better withdraw her complaint straight away so he could get his job back (!), banging on the door, threatening... She had to call the police, of course, but she was traumatised for weeks afterwards, worried he was going to come back and take revenge...

 

An extreme case, I grant you. But the point is, regardless as to whether we feel OP was reasonable or not in the first place, that is a moral judgement, and we're not here to pass moral judgement.

 

Did the OP have a legal right not to show the receipt to someone who could have been anybody (having a high vis jacket could be a clever ploy for a crook after all, hiding in plain sight)? YES

Did the OP have a legal right not to show the receipt to someone even after they had reached the conclusion that person was indeed a store employee? YES

Did the employee have the right to detain the OP for refusing to show the receipt? NO

Is the store legally at fault? 100% YES.

 

Simple when you just break it down in legal facts instead of getting mired in moral opinions. ;)
