    • 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,

      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.

I wouldn't even entertain the thought of court, let me do a bit of digging about and see if there is anything like this out there.

 

And re-read the whole thread again...

 

OK just having a quick mooch about, and from what you have said, this could be deemed as 'pressure selling'.

 

And although there were no cancellation terms or cooling off period in the T&C's, you have done everything possible to minimise their loss, and have informed them in good time, that your son no longer wishes to continue.

 

IMO, I'd be willing them to take me to court, so that the DJ can give them what for...again!

Hi Feet,

 

You've asked them to tell them what loss they've suffered and they've failed to address this.

 

I would now ignore AMSL and not reply to them.

 

Make formal complaints to both Trading Standards and The CMA :-

 

1. That AMSL are making demands for classes due to start in September that you cancelled in June

 

2. That AMSL added a minimum period of 12 months after you signed the agreement.

 

3. The agreement was for karate classes for a 7 year old who changed his mind just after you signed up.

 

4. No service was ever provided and AMSL have failed to tell you of any loss they have have suffered as a result of the cancellation.

 

Keep it very short and focused - post the complaint here first if you want.

 

:-)

Dear all,

I have written to AMSL one last time, requesting a letter of deadlock from them so I can take my complaint to the financial services ombudsman.

 

I understand that before you can get ombudsman service you need to have reached a formal deadlock. Im hoping that AMSL will realise I am happy to take the matter further and 'might' back down, only im not holding my breath! I will keep posting when I have further news.

 

Thanks for your advice and mental support.....it is appreciated.

Natalie

 

Sorry, the above thread should have read....consumer ombudsman service.

 

My letter was as follows....

 

I am writing to you regarding my membership dispute. I have been trying to contact you since 15.07.15 to cancel my 7 year olds karate classes -2 months prior to the contract commencing. I wrote to you on 14.09.15, 13.10.15 and 4.11.15 asking you to cancel these classes which he does not wish to attend and has not received services from. I have offered to pay a fair and reasonable penalty. I have also asked you to quantify any losses you have incurred as a direct result of this cancellation and you have failed to do so.

Your attempts to resolve my cancellation have not been satisfactory and you claim you are 'unable' to cancel without a penalty of £621, which feels unfair and unreasonable.

I feel we have reached a deadlock situation, and as such I am left with no alternative but to take my complaint to the consumer ombudsman service (COS)

Please issue me with a letter of deadlock so that I may refer this to the COS.

If I do not receive this written response, I shall assume you are in agreement that this case has reached a deadlock and I shall refer my complaint to the COS without further reference to you.

I look forward to your response,

........

 

 

I hope this will work..... natalie.

 

Ok.... now for trading standards and the CMA.......

I notice that in october 2013 that you had a blog from a lady called carol, in dispute with AMSL over her 4 year old son needing to cancel karate classes for her 4 year old son who had an injured hand/thumb. This is the same karate club I am trying to cancel for my son.....

 

I wonder if anyone heard the outcome? Same teacher/owner.....

 

Club called Sutton Martial Arts Academy SMAA.

I NOW REQUIRE YOUR RESPONSE IN ORDER TO ESCALATE THIS MATTER.

 

I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE WITHIN 14 DAYS,

 

REGARDS,

A few changes made in bold, don't ask, always demand, they are providing YOU with a service, not the other way round.

Assertive, firm, and direct. Don't ask, tell and demand.

 

P.S. That very generous offer you have made should now be withdrawn, they are no longer entitled to that offer, they had their chance!

Hi Feet,

 

If you've already sent the letter, wait and see if/how they reply.

 

If you have not yet sent it, please wait !

 

The FOS (which is who you mean) will not deal with this matter, so you've no need to write seeking a "final response" before complaining.

Hi Feeturing,

 

Don't worry about this. It's done now and we can't change that so just let us know when you get a written reply.

 

For your info, here's a link for the Ombudsman Service that confirms the limited services they provide - http://www.ombudsman-services.org/about-ombudsman-services-os.html

Hi all,

 

Well no surprise I didnt get my letter of deadlock which I requested from them on November 18th.

 

Instead I have received this week, 2 texts advising me that my account is in arrears, and to contact customer services.....and today I received a letter dated 4th December stating I had 7 days to pay £155 in arrears.

 

I am not sure how to tackle them now. Should I write to them stating that I give their lack of response as to my deadlock request as their agreement in the situation.? I recall thats how I worded it in my letter to them as opposed to giving them 14 days to respond.

 

I feel as though I should write to them asking for no further contact until they take me to court.....

 

Is this a good way to proceed?

 

Any advice is gratefully received.....

 

Many thanks

Hi Feeturing,

 

If they haven't yet replied properly to your letter, I suggest you do nothing more for now.

 

You should ignore their payment demands and you have no need to call them to discuss anything.

 

You should see by now that writing to them gets you no further. You've done all you need for now so don't be afraid to simply ignore AMSL.

 

Thanks for making the complaint to The CMA, which adds to the cause. Did you complain to TS as well ?

The CMA doesn't look into individual consumer complaints, just as the OFT didn't, BUT they will file all the complaints regarding a company, and once the drawer is full, they will then look into the outfit, so not a dead end in reality, in the long run it will help others.

 

Please forward those silly text message to 7726 (spam on your telephone keypad) this too will help in the long run, as your network provider will log the text message as a ''nuisance'' and will pass the info on to Ofcom to either remove their licence or most likely fine the company.

 

IMO I personally would accept their ignorance to issue you with a deadlock letter, or attempt to resolve your dispute, as confirmation that this is in dispute, therefore you are at liberty to escalate this whenever you wish, however fully expect them to inform any ombudsman that you haven't followed their procedures and have not exhausted their complaints procedure, but don't be put off by their lethargic practices.

Hi all,

Sorry for my delay in updating but to be honest other than letters demanding money for arrears and text messages and calls which I have so far ignored, not much has changed.

 

Trading standards have also been informed of my dispute on several occasions when I have contacted citizens advice.

 

I guess now its a waiting game until they take me to court unless you have any other suggestions for me to move things along.

 

I appreciate all your advice and wish you all a hasstle free new year!

 

Many thanks, natalie

Any text messages they send you should be forwarded to 7726 (spam on your phone keypad)

 

If you're receiving unsolicited phone calls, if you answer them, just laugh and hang up, or send them the telephone harassment letter, and go through your providers malicious calls procedure.

 

As for their puerile letters, just file them away under ignore.

 

If this ever does get to the courts, then they will lose.

Hi Feeturing,

 

If AMSL were going to take court action, they should have followed up their previous threats and taken action before now.

 

The longer they delay, the better for you.

 

HNY to you too.
