    • 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 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.

Hi

 

I have been served with a notice to quit on my home, because the landlady is selling to a developer. I have been at the property for two decades. I signed one tenancy agreement in that time - with a previous owner - the original one when I moved in. It was initially for six months but he said if all went well after that I could stay as long as I want.

 

I have never missed a rent payment. Have kept the property in good repair - even paying for improvements like a new shower, new bath. Replacement of worn work surfaces in the kitchen, replacement taps. Plastering work after a flood. Plus countless other repairs like changing washers etc. The landlady did not refuse to do repairs she just ignored my requests. I am lucky I had family able to do the jobs for me.

 

The notice came completely out of the blue and I am devastated. Apart from the fact that I love my home I am suffering from chronic illness and am completely priced out of the area

because I am dependent on HB to pay the rent - the shortfall between what landlords want and HB pay is approx £100 per month.

 

There are a coupe of issues I would like advice on.

 

The landlady secured my deposit last year, but the letter from the protection agency came with the wrong address on it and it was for the wrong amount. I wrote and told them this and they said it was the landlady’s responsibility to sort it and she needed to submit a copy of the tenancy agreement. It would seem the agreement she used was one she claimed I had signed in 2003 - which I hadn’t. So my deposit was secured using forged documents. She refuses to give me a copy of this agreement and instead insists that I send her a copy of my original one with the previous owner. I have not done this yet.

 

My first question is this - is my deposit secured - do I have the right to ask the deposit protection company for copies of all documentation (is this covered by the data protection act) and do I have grounds to fight the notice to quit I don’t particularly want the stress of this but I need some time to get a deposit together and perhaps look at other alternatives via the council etc. 8 weeks may not be enough.

 

My second question is if I do fight the eviction what is the timescale involved. How long do I have before I will have to leave my home. Best case and worst case scenario?

 

Thirdly can I charge my landlady for the work I have done on the property? This would help no end toward the cost of moving. I have paid her almost £60,000 in rent since she took over (most of it from my own pocket- before I was ill) and she has paid nothing towards the upkeep.

 

Many many thanks in advance for any advice anyone can give me.

 

Best wishes

Anna,

We need to know when T orig commenced (mm-yyyy) with orig LL and whether/when new LL served s48 Notice informing you he was new LL from and providing new rent payment details and 'address for Service of Notices'. if different.

LLs cannot serve NTQ only Notice to 'seek repossession', either s8 (14 day expiry) or s21 (2 cal month expiry), so which did you receive?

Please provide precise timeline for both ASTs/LL.

The only defence to s21 for a pre Oct 2015 AST is if deposit was not protected or returned before service of s21.

I suugest you need an appt with proficient LL&T Law solicitor who can review all ASTs.

After 20 years renting I can imagine it was a big shock for you, but one of the drawbacks of renting in current times.

Replacing tap washers is a T resp and unless you had LLs prior written permission to carry out other changes, I doubt you have a claim for re-imbursement for them.

Hello Anna

 

Please have a read of what I posted below.

 

 

 

 

Assured Tenancy ?

 

you moved in between 15 January 1989 and 27 February 1997 and your landlord did not give you a notice (section 20) saying that you have an assured shorthold tenancy
http://england.shelter.org.uk/get_advice/private_renting/private_renting_agreements/assured_tenancies

 

If a section 20 notice was Not issued at the start of the tenancy.

 

LL cant evict using a s21.

 

About 3/4 down this page http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/1988/2203/schedules/made

 

FORM No. 7

Housing Act 1988 section 20 Notice of an Assured Shorthold Tenancy

 

If one of theses notices was served on tenant when the tenancy 1st started and LL would have to prove this in court, then they can use a s21.

 

Shelter/CAB or Housing Solicitor need to look into this for the tenant.

 

 

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1988/50/section/20

 

 

1988 Housing act

Section 20

(2)

(b) is served before the assured tenancy is entered into

Please use the quote system, So everyone will know what your referring too, thank you ...

Hi Mariner51 and 45002

 

Many thanks for your advice and quick replies. Unfortunately the tenancy began in May 1997 and the new owner took over in 2001. They wrote me a letter with their office address and bank details to set up a direct debit but no official form - s48?. It is a Section21 that has been served. Can I fight it given that my deposit was secured against another flat in the building - for the wrong amount and using a forged tenancy? Also am I within my rights to ask the deposit protection people for copies of all documents on file regarding the case.

 

As I said I need time as you can probably appreciate the deposit I put down all those years ago will nowhere near cover what is required today.

 

Many thanks

 

Anna

Hello Anna

 

Think you need to contact your local CAB office, Shelter or a solicitor, what ever you do know it's more important you find a roof over your head as LL will end up winning in the end with a s21.

 

Sorry to sound blunt, but im not sure what else you can do know ...
