    • 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.

Hello,

 

The total is

 

Total of Charges £660.00

 

 

I have not added interest rates on this, do I add the interest rate when I first signed up for my credit card? That is 39.4% APR

 

Thanks.

Ok the next step is just to change your spreadsheet "Claim To" date to today's date.

 

Then you need to send a print of the spreadsheet to the lender together with a preliminary letter requiring refund.

 

You can use this one

 

Account number................... ................ date etc

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Following media reports,and an investigation into credit card charges by the Office of Fair Trading,which I have recently been made aware of,I now understand,that the regime of fees which you have been applying/applied to my account in relation to late fees, and over limit charges, are unlawful at Common Law,Statute and Consumer regulations,in that they did not/do not, represent a genuine pre-estimate of your actual costs.

 

I would draw your attention to the terms of the contract which you agreed to at the time that this account was opened. It is an implied term of that contract that you would conduct yourselves lawfully and in a manner which complies with UK law,and in consideration of fair business practices and good faith.

 

It is my contention, that you have failed to operate my account in a manner condusive to the above,and have demonstrated a lack of fiduciary duty.

 

I calculate that you have taken £xxx plus £xxxx which you have charged me in interest which total £xxx. Additionally,you have entered a default notice against my credit record. This default occurred merely in respect of unlawful charges levied by you, or was the result of impecuniositiy’ caused directly by the taking by you of penalty charges which you had applied to my account.

 

Therefore this letter requests a refund of all charges indicated including interest 14 days from the date of this letter.

 

I request that payment is made directly to me,by cheque,and that any refund in whole or part should not be allocated to any set off or third parties.

 

Should this occur,my claim will be deemed as unsettled and I will proceed to the Courts for recovery.

 

You now have 14 days to respond positively,and in the absence of this,I will put you on notice with a further 14 days,letter before action.

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

Yours Faithfully

 

Enc; Schedule of charges

 

You may need to amend it to suit depending on whether the account is terminated, debt sold on or still live.

 

How does the claim amount compare to the figure outstanding on the account (if any)?

 

Capital One are highly likely to refuse to refund the charges without a fight which means that you may have to issue court proceedings if you want to get the charges back.

 

It would be a good idea to have a good read around the Cap1 forum to see what may lie ahead.

 

Also have a read of Shelleys success thread here (although this was with Barclaycard) but it will give you a good idea of the general process.

hello

 

Thanks for your help.

 

I was under the impression these charges are lawful due to the court hearing back in 2009? and the only way I could claim if I was going to through hard times which I am, and would need to prove this?

 

If am I wrong, I will just use the form you just attached, and I will read through the other thread now...

 

Thanks :D

You are getting mixed up with bank charges I think which is what the court case refers to.

 

Credit card and loan charges are not affected by that case and are still reclaimable.

Seriously?!? Thats news to me, I thought banking would come order credit card companies?!? So by law they cannot charge me this although in my agreement it says they can?!?

You need to do some reading around the forums.

 

It was bank current account charges etc that were tested in court, not accounts where credit agreements were concerned.

 

It matters not what the agreement says, these charges are deemed as penalties for your breach of contract (by being late with payment for example). They do not reflect the true cost to the lender of that breach.

 

I would strongly suggest you do some reading around CAG...there are many many threads on reclaiming credit card charges and there is a lot of reference material as to why they can be claimed back.

 

It would not be wise to go into this without knowing your stuff.

Don't give up,.. you can make your attempt by way of what you have produced so far. Wait and see what they say. Let us know if it isn't what you want. You could then go via the FOS route, which will take longer if you feel you wouldn't be up to going to court.

Absolutely. Don't be put off.

 

You don't need a lawyer, you can do it all yourself.

 

We will help you all we can as you will see when you read some of the many other threads on this very subject.

 

You are currently feeling a little scared because this is unfamiliar territory to you. As you read and learn you will become stronger as your knowledge base builds and you should end up feeling empowered to take on these institutions who have unlawfully penalised you.

 

Many of us here have been in exactly the same position as you...worried, scared, apprehensive etc. We have used the information and help available on CAG to get us through some tough times and in the process have become far more empowered and confident in taking on these large institutions and winning.

 

You will not be left to deal with this alone....I can assure you that you will receive all the help you need.

 

Don't let these companies walk all over you.....chin up and start your fight back :-)

Just spent the last 3 hours reading, and just saw this post! I feel so confident that I can battle this! I am popping a recorded delivery letter to Captial One tomorrow and I will attach a copy on this form for people who may peruse Capital One with there charges!

 

Just one thing I do not understand, from my research it shows I can for a "non compound" interest of 8% and not the 39.9% which I have agreed to?

 

Please explain someone, understand everything apart from this. Thanks!

 

Thanks Guys!
