    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi guys

hope all is well

and hope im posting in the right place,

 

i have a vehicles which have been reported as stolen, by the people who i leased from.

the lease was for 24 months, i made payments for 21months

the three outstanding payments i was unable to make due to money problems.

 

the people in question are a ltd company, not registered with FSA or anyone else like that.

i only found out it was stolen when i did a hpi check.

 

my question is can this company do this?

what can i do?

what should i tell the police?

i am willing to make the three outstanding payments once i am able to.

 

the v5 is currently under my name.

I am thinking that the police would look at this as a civil matter. I'm assuming that you have copies of the finance/lease agreements so when the police come knocking, simply show them along with the V5 and explain that you are simply in arrears.

If the situation is as straight forward as you have put it, then yes but take all the docs with you

Under the circumstances you describe then I don't think the police will be impressed as I believe this is a civil matter. They have the option of taking you to court to re-possess through the civil court so they are using the police as bailiffs.

I doubt that the police will providing that you can show you have paid the amount that you have. As I say, make surer you have the lease agreement and proof of the amounts you have paid and I'm sure they will treat it as a civil matter. You see, they need a court order to re-possess as you have paid more than 30% of the agreement so from what you are saying, they are looking to the police to hopefully do the work of the civil court on their behalf. If the police act on their report, I would guess that they havn't been entirely truthful with the ;police. Could come back and bite them IMHO.

 

Another option for you to clarify my advice is to run it by CAB.

Sam i agree with everything you are saying and understand fully, yours and mine thinking is the same.

i am just a bit shaken up with the whole matter, i have all the docs from insurance to monthly payments.

 

Do as I advise and come back to tell us what happens. As far as I can see this is a simple case of a default on a finance agreement which is a civil matter. Theft of a motor vehicle is totally different.

If you have the documents, the police can tell you whatever they like. It is the court that gets to decide the real outcome. As already said, it very much sounds like the company is trying to use the police as bailiffs.

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..

can the police make me hand the car back to the company?

that is my main worry

 

If you have given us the story as it is the no, they can't. You have paid over 30% of the agreement so a court order would be required to re-possess. Check with CAB in the morning.

Can you provide a background of the 30% rule that is unequivocally recognised by the civil court ?

Basically the finance co need a court order to re-possess if at least a third of the original financed amount has been paid. It will be stated in the agreement to what the exact figure is. The car is deemed to be their 'property' until that figure is reached. From then on and until the final payment has been made, then a court needs to decide who possesses the car until the end of the agreement. There is nothing 'unequivocally' about it.

 

Why, are you in a similar situation?

Depends on the type of agreement, if it is a 24 mth lease/contract hire then it will be a business which wont be a regulated agreement, also when was the agreement due to finish and was the car meant to go back to the lease company.

If you are still holding on to the car after the agreement has finished and refusing to hand it back then I think they will have every right to report it stolen.

If the agreement is a lease agreement as you say then I don't think the 30% rule is applicable as it would be on a Hire purchase or conditional sale agreement. The lessor will be the rightful owner until they sell the vehicle, in most cases this the end of term options are mentioned in the agreement. What title terms were agreed in terms of the lease if any in the contract, or were you due to hand the vehicle back at the end of the agreement?

Agreed. A lot will depend on what is written into the agreement but it would be for a county court to decide on whether the agreement was breached by the OP or not. The court would certainly consider the amount that the OP has paid off the original agreement and if the OP has only missed 2 out of 24 payments, I think the court would expect some agreement to be reached before ordering re-possession.

 

If you are still holding on to the car after the agreement has finished and refusing to hand it back then I think they will have every right to report it stolen.

 

In those circumstances yes, but the agreement hasn't reached it's full term yet as understand it.
