    • 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 xx/xx/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 xx/xx/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, xx/xx/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,

 

Had an MBNA credit card which was in default and I was making reduced payments. They ignored requests for a full and final and then sold my debt on to arrow who apparently assigned this to Wescott.

 

I cancelled my payments to MBNA, received a letter from Wescots asking for full payment to which I didnt repply (on 21 Jan), received further letter from them on 8th March stating they understood I was making payments to MBNA (I no longer was) but to contact them to make it part of an agreed payment plan). I did not respond.

 

I heard nothing further from Wescott and have today out of the blue received the following letter from Drydens fairfax directly on behalf of Arrow (I assume Wescots have handed back) which doesnt even contain any account details).

 

Your advice on how to stop court action and next steps to deal with this would be greatly appreciated. I have never communicated with Arrow Wescot or Dryden Fairfax with regard to this debt

 

Thank you[ATTACH=CONFIG]44952[/ATTACH]

Hi,

 

I havent done this yet. Is this something i need to do with arrow or am i better responding to drydensfairfax saying i do not acknowledge this debt and sending standard demand for credit agreement and prrof or ownership? My immediate concern is obviously preventing any potential court action.

When you made the full and final settlement offer you were acknowledging the debt, but never mind, say that you don't acknowledge it to Drydens.

 

Then say that they have provided no details of this alleged debt in their letter and you wish to receive a copy of the alleged credit agreement and proof of ownership.

 

They shouldn't commence court action if you have answered their letter and made a perfectly reasonable request for information. They may do, but there is nothing else you can do at the moment other than send the letter and they will know that if they do commence court proceedings they'll have to produce it anyway.

 

Make sure you send it recorded/signed for.

I've now received the attached from them (ive not scanned t+cs and statement) if required let me know.

Its a reconstituted agreement - with ticks rather than signatures (not sure if i applied online or not) and is dated December 2005.

 

Where do I stand on this? From what I can see online if its before 2007 then a reconstitued agreement is not enough for a court to enforce? Is this correct? Does it still apply if it was an online application.

 

Anyone who can advise on legal standing of agreement and next steps??

 

Many Thanks

I'm not certain about this because I don't know if it was online or not. If it was online then the tick may be sufficient.

 

You need someone with MBNA experience to help here.

 

Hit the triangle and ask the site team to change your thread title to something like: Urgent Help - MBNA - DrydensFairfax

 

That should get some MBNA experts to your thread.

Ok, you say the agreement was entered into in 2005 - I believe the electronic signature came into being in 2004 - so if it was indeed an only application a tick should suffice.

 

Although I am sure they were still required to provide you with a hard copy.

 

I am not sure whether or not you would need to ask them for the IP address from where the application came from and would have thought that information was available to them as further proof of your liability and that you did actually apply online.

 

I will amend your title in order to attract more input for you.

Thank you. Without an ip address or a hard copy signature I dont know how they can prove whether it was me, my ex wife or someone who simply knew sufficient details about me.

 

However its not my view that matters obviously its the view that courts would take so advice from the experts in this field would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

In short, whether this 2005 agreement attached above is valid if it relates to an online agreement (I can only assume the way it has ticks rather than signatures that it was online though I know this is a reconstitued agreement). I have tried searching but cant find the specific details

 

Thanks

I thought before 2007 even if you ticked it online, they would still send you out a physical copy to sign. I know in 2004, jan 2006 and dec 2006 they did for me. MBNA/Cap 1 and egg.

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..

As a recon to satisfy a sections 77/78 request under CCA 1974, if it has all ts and cs yes it is compliant, an original agreement or true signed copy would be required prior to April 2007.

 

Should a claim be brought relying on this document it would be for a judge to decided if on the balance a probabilities the liability subsists and the debt is payable.

Yes That's correct, many judges will accept reconstituted agreements if there is clear evidence of use such as statements etc.

I've even had an incorrect copy (wrong % minimum payment) argued as de minimus by their brief and cos it was a summary judgement hearing they had an opportunity to change the

document before trial. From experience MBNA don't back down easily...
