    • 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 CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

    • 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.

B-I-L had an accident two days ago

 

from what ive heard he came through a junction on green at which point another car came through the other side on red and hit him at about 40mph, he ended up in A+E with no serious injuries in the end (had to be x-rayed etc) but large amounts of brusing and side pains

 

at the scene the woman said in front of witnesses "sorry i was on my phone and didnt see the lights" this was infront of BIL + His brother + people from the car behind

 

fast forward to yesterday and shes told her insurance company that it wasnt her fault, BIL says that if the witness replies that she said that they will push for 100% liability if not it will end up at 50/50

 

now hes worried that the witness (who was very friendly at the time) might not reply

 

now here comes the cheeky part, the woman lives in portsmouth, i had her name, i set up a fake facebook profile, with profile pictures as "pets", roughly same age, and same school history. found the woman on facebook - confirmed it through her pictures which had the car in question (bmw 5 series)

 

ive managed to get onto her friends list by saying i vagely remembered her from school, and asked about the car accident if shes ok etc, if she actually admits the being on the phone again how useful is this, as its a fake account theres no issue giving the insurer the login to read the message themselves or a print off

 

any ideas?

You are putting a lot of faith in your insurance company - believing that they care about you or about the accident.

They don't.

 

One factor, is that they want an easy and cheap life - and so the quicker they can close the file, the happier they are.

Another factor is that on a 50/50 - they get to increase the premiums of both drivers at next renewal - plus they get two lots of excess payments - one from each of you.

 

The only quick way to deal with this is to get all of your evidence together - signed witness statements etc and then threaten a county court action - and start the action if she hasn't admitted liability in writing within 14 days.

 

Otherwise, settle in for the long haul - and probably eventual failure

Agree with Bankfodder. This is just a case of your BIL seeing whether he can push the Insurers towards making the case that the 3rd party was 100% liable. The Insurers may not do much, without a push.

 

As for Facebook, yes I do not see any reason not to provide the Insurers with screenprints of this ladies Facebook pages, if it helps in any way. I would suggest that you don't provide screenprints of the made up Facebook account, as that might not help. ( the same way that some journalists are in court where blagging is part of the prosecution case).

We could do with some help from you.

Suggest that your B-I-L tries to get hold of witness statements from the third party.

 

If they can get a statement, then I would think a letter before action to the third party driver would be in order. The letter would state that third party witness evidence will be used to take the matter to court, unless they admit 100% liability for this accident.

 

If they can't get the third party to make a statement, then I would suggest that your B-I-L just accepts the Insurers decision of a 50/50. Without any third party evidence, there is not much chance of success in court.

We could do with some help from you.

ok quick update

 

spoke to insurers

 

They didnt know about the second witness they are going to try and contact them

 

they didnt have the scene of accident photos

 

they were unaware there was a red light camera there

 

they were unaware that witnesses heard her say she was on phone

 

having seen pictures of crash BIL's car was spun twice and pushed over 100yards up the road so suggested that sounds like she was doing a little more than 40

 

they are aware hes refusing any liability (hes third party only so he cant even afford to get car out of impound unless other party owns up)

 

as per above post have contacted other party and said that unless resolved we reserve the right to take it to court

report it to the police asap it's driving without due care and attention 6 months from date of offense to lay information to the court. Evidence will be the witness statements, the police will check the telephone records of the other driver, the exact time will be crucial passing buses have CCTV.

BIL is lucky to be alive if the crash moved his vehicle as has been posted.

 

Inexcusable on the part of the other driver

I am fighting it all the way :-x

This is an interesting case (I work in the business) and from the evidence stated here, it does appear that the Third Party is at fault and she is trying to dig herself out of a big hole. I will be interested to see how this pans out. Please keep us informed.

 

 

You BiL suffered minor injury, has he claimed for this? If so then the TP Insurer is obliged to acknowledge within 21 days whether they intend to contest. There is a framework used by insurers for injury claims via the MoJ which has strict timescales which the insurers must adhere to. If he hasn't done so, it may be worth persuing this angle too. Speak to a reputable solicitor specialising in this field and not an ambulance chaser.

:p :p If my advice as been of help, please give me a quick click on the scales to your right ;) ;) :)

Still dragging on

 

managed to get hold of all the correspondence between the two insurers and it seems that theres a minimum of 3 weeks and sometimes upto a months between emails back and forth

 

As of yet they have

 

Declared that martins witness is invalid as they are friends on facebook - despite us providing proof that they only became friends after the accident

obviously payed out on their part to mrs taylor - after requesting pictures of damage all martins insurance received was photos from an auction site the car had been sold at

 

Now the other parties insurer (first central) dont seem to be responding at all

 

at the moment im annoyed enough ive asked the insurance company if i can take it to small claims, listing mrs taylor as defendant (i know it will be passed onto her insurer but it MIGHT just push them into action if they have her screaming down the phone)
