    • 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.

There is land behind my rear garden which is owned private by a company whose details I do not have and can't find.

 

Yesterday a tree on that land has fallen over my rear garden fence - causing considerable damage.

 

I've never made an insurance claim before - do i tell the insurer:

 

1. The tree was on land owned by a company and that company should pay for all damage?

 

2. Should I goalso go to a solicitor and ask them to find out the details of the landowner and send them a letter to ask them to pay for the repair (tree is on private land behind my rear garden fence)

 

Attached pic of the damage

Please help asap as i'm concerned that people will enter my rear garden that use the wasteland

Your Home Insurance may not cover tree damage or remove unless it has damaged a building. Check your policy for the cover in relation to falling trees and branches.

 

The owner of the land where the tree was is not automatically liable. Yesterday was a very windy day and many treee came down. You would have to prove the neighbour had not maintained the tree properly and as a consequence it fell down causing you to suffer a loss.

 

If you have any legal cover with your Home Insurance, they will be able to discuss this with you and explain how to take this forward. If no legal cover, still speak to the claims department to see what cover you have in regard to the tree damage.

We could do with some help from you.

It is correct that the landowner may not be liable - but in principle he is and you should begin by submitting a claim to him and his insurers for the damage.

If they want to say that it is an Act of God or something, then let them do it and we'll help you from there. Act of God is very old fashioned and doesn't often succeed.

 

Get lots of pictures - much better than the one you have posted here. Get 2 or 3 quotes for all the repairs. Make sure that you get good photos of the roots of the tree - and ideally you would want a professional tree surgeon to give you a report. You would get the money back for this if you succeed.

 

Keep it all very polite and non-challenging. It was no one's fault - and the company will be insured so it is no skin off their nose.

Fin out who owns the land here - http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/public/property-ownership

You should be able to find out who the landowner is from the land registry website. This is the only way I can think of. Give it a go.

 

Yes make sure you get written evidence of everything - cost of how much to repair the damage, cost of how much to remove the tree and so on. If you want the fence repaired ASAP you should pay for it yourself and later seek to recover the cost from the landowner.

 

The council won't be able to help make the landowner pay you. They can't get involved in private legal disputes.

 

If you don't have legal cover you will need to make a decision whether to run the case by yourself or whether to pay for solicitors to do it. This will be largely determined by the amount of the claim ... since if below 10k you won't be able to recover your legal costs; if above 10k you will be able to if successful.

I'll try the land registry tommorow and see if they come up with anything re: landowners details. What do I do if the landowner takes no responsibility and tries to fob me off?

 

Is it a good idea to contact the local councillors in the area and tell them whats happened as well as the local press? maybe the councillors can put pressure on the landowner?

 

Legal cover how do i check i have that...i don't have a car so is there anything else it could be on or can i take it out now as a seperate cover on a new policy - just for legal cover and nothing else - thats if i do not have it already

Legal cover might be on your home insurance, if you have home insurance.

 

You can always tell the local councillors but not sure they will be able to do much. Might be interesting for the local press but again I doubt the landowner would be too concerned.

 

If the landowner tries to fob you off then you will need to decide whether to pursue him/her through the court system by issuing a claim.

how much does a professional tree surgeon report cost?

 

More expensive than you would think. I think you should track down the owner of the company and see if they will clear up the trees, plus all the mess behind your garden at the same time. They may pay for your fence etc to be replaced.

 

I think the trees are the type that have shallow root systems. They look similar to a local forestry area, where they have thousands of them, which they cut down a number every year to use. When it is windy, they seem to fall down pretty easily. If this is the case, then perhaps the remaining trees should be inspected to make sure they are secure in the ground

I have been on the land registry site but I can't find the piece of land - it does not have a physical address and i've tried the no address option on the site but no luck :-(

 

I now have tresspassers coming into my garden they use the field behind my home or maybe the neighbours garden - what can i do to stop the tresspassing?

Your local council will have details of the land in their area. They must do, as if there was a problem, they could contact the owner of the land.

 

I think you need to badger the council about this and see what help you can get.

 

As for tresspassers, why are they coming into your garden ? Is it now a shortcut for people to go to somewhere ?

I have sent an email to the council to ask them to take action against the landowner and provide his details...if the council do nothing then what?

 

because the council has failed to force the landowner to secure and fence off the land people have been walking through the land and across a self made path that leads to the neighbours garden back garden they then enter my garden either by climbing the fence on the neighbours side of through my broken rear fence.

 

The argument with the council is why are they refusing to ask the landowner to secure the land he owns with fencing so it stops people from walking on the land in the 1st place...council are not helping

If the council refuse to help, go to your local newspaper. They may wish to report on it.

It's not the council's job to ask someone to secure private land.

 

I think I am missing something here.....

 

You would be surprised what councils are responsible for. A friend of mine had a letter through the post because their hedges were slightly over a public pathway. This is obviously slightly different, but the council have some responsibility in regard to environmental issues.

True but the council isn't responsible for boundary repairs

 

I don't think the OP is looking for that help anyway. They just want help to find out the details of the landowner, so they can deal with it themselves. There is an enviromental issue in that the landowner appears to be dumping stuff near the boundary, making it very messy.

OP what area of the country are you in?

 

The reason I ask is that where I used to live there uses to be lots of pockets of land that were owned by the coal board and you would never have known.

 

Sometimes you have to look back to see who owns pockets of land if the land registry can't help

I'm not asking for the council to repair the boundaries - the land is owned by a company who it is I have not been able to find out the owners details as the land does not have a physical address.

 

The council have replied saying "...we are not willing to provide the details of the owner of the land as it would be breaking the Data Protection Act....."

 

They have advised me to contact my solicitor

Have you asked lots of your neighbours who surround this land?
