    • 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.

Hi,

 

Wondering if anyone can help me.

 

Due to some unfortunate circumstances many years ago, I got into around £8000 worth of debt.

I am still owing this money and really want to get it sorted as it has had a big effect on my life.

 

A family member has offered to pay £2000 towards the debt for a full and final agreement.

I would really like to get a mortgage at some point in the future

and am pinning my hopes on having a better credit report in 4 years time

(once the date of my last default, Feb 2012, falls off the report due to its age

- the debts themselves are from 7 or so years ago)

 

What I would like to know is if I make a full and final agreement now, will that update the credit report to now?

ie. so that I will have to wait 6 years instead of 4 for a clear credit report? (last default is 4 years ago)

 

I don't know if this is the same sort of question,

but I noticed that my credit report has a 'date updated' section

and that one of my creditors had updated this section recently.

 

Because this section was updated does that mean that the debt has been brought up to date,

i.e. again will I have to wait 6 years instead of 4 before it disappears if I do a full and final?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Sammy.

 

You say the debts are from 7 or so years ago, when did you make your last payment ?

 

If you submit a full and final and it is accepted, make sure that the debt is then written off and will not be sold to someone else to start collecting. This has been done numerous times where they claim the full and final was with them and they then sold it on to someone else to collect the remainder.

 

Don't volunteer payment until you have all the details of the account.

Hi Conniff,

 

Thank you for your reply. There are 4 separate creditors and the last payment for all of them was around January 2011.

 

Thanks for the advice re. full and final, I will make sure to add this clause into my letter :)

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years

has passed from date of default, whether paid off or not.

.

the WHOLE ACCOUNT WILL VANISH, never to return.

.

however, this does not mean the debt itself is not still owed

consider a CCA request.

.

This is so that someone who continues paying something

- even after 6 years from default

- should not be at a disadvantage to someone who pays nothing after default

and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

 

 

I question your wisdom in paying anything

 

BEFORE you CCA everyone & look at PPI & penalty reclaiming

 

who owns these debts?

 

what type are they

 

paying the debt now

will NOT improve your credit rating

nor make the default go earlier

Thanks very much dx.

 

So that would mean that no matter whether I pay the debt or not,

it will disappear 6 years from the last default date?

Even if other parts of the record have been updated?

 

The debts have already been sold on to collection agencies and they are all credit card debts.

 

I see what you mean about paying not making any difference to my report,

I was hoping that if I settled them then at least I could work on rebuilding my report

so I could apply for credit earlier but I'm guessing I'll struggle to qualify for any credit until the defaults have dropped off.

 

I'm concerned about the DCA still contacting me in the future and would really like to not have the debts hanging over me.

 

However, I'm also wondering that since I've had telephone contact with them during this time,

that that will stop the debts from becoming statute barred?

(I heard that statue barred only applies of you have had no contact

and although it's not what I want I'm interested to know if its an option)

 

I'm also confused between the difference between statute barred and the debts just dropping off the credit report after 6 years?

 

If I write to them asking for full and final and they don't accept it,

does that will mean they can still chase me after 6 years and the statute barred will be void?

 

I just don't want to put myself in a worse situation than I already am.

if they are all credit card debts

 

fire off a CCA request to each one with a blank £1PO

DO NOT SIGN THE LETTERS.

 

if they cant produce them then all they can do is write silly letters.

they cannot enforce in court

 

there is NO direct relationship between defaults 6th birthday & the SB date.

and NO telephone comms DOES NOT reset the SB clock.

 

however just remember that 'just because' the debt vanishes

it does not mean its dead

Hi Dx,

 

If I don't hear anything back after I've sent off the CCA,

does that mean they can't enforce the debt on me?

i.e. the agreement with them no longer exists

and I may not have to pay it?

 

I'm guessing that once I hear back from them with the original agreement

then I send in my F&F letters and try and negotiate,

 

but what if they can't find my agreement,

does that mean my credit agreement with them is no longer valid?

and I may not have to pay it?

deal with each one as it happens

 

there is no legal compulsion to pay anyone on a debt

an enforceable agreement cannot be produced on.

 

you need to investigate reclaiming too.

Should I put in for the PPI reclaim first before I do the CCA (or will it not matter since the debts are now with collection agencies and I would be claiming from the original company?) or can I just send both at the same time?

if you can cope

 

do it at the same time
