    • 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.

hello all,

 

just wanted to say thanks to everyone involved in the setting up and running of this site and to all those who post - though i have always felt that charging people in financial difficulties is incredibly unhelpful i would never have had the confidence to attempt to get the money back on my own.

 

Anyway, I sent my S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) letter, got my cheque back with a nice letter, the got two nice big envelopes of statements to read. This bit was fun! not only did i enjoy totting up the charges (or savings fund as i am starting to think of it) but i was reminded of the places i've been and the things that i have done by the payments i was making - a good old trip down memory lane!

 

Next i sent my preliminary letter asking for the £690 charges back. They sent me a standard 'sorry your not happy, we'll get back to you in a month or so' letter and a leaflet. I stated in my letter to them (from the library) that we would work on my timescale of 14 days so i have ignored this.

 

So now 15 days have passed (i didn't have a stamp yesterday) so i have sent my letter before action. I didn't include any overdraft interest as for the first four years or so i had a student account and didn't pay interest on my overdraft and was unsure of how to calculate the interest for the last couple of years. In the last two weeks i have actually been charged another paid referal fee so the amount i have stated in the LBA is different from that in the preliminary letter - is this ok? hope so. anyway now i just wait and see. and start on the credit cards - egg SAR sent today!

 

thanks and good luck,

 

xxx ramouth

 

p.s sorry this is a bit long

adding new charges into the total should be fine up until the point you make your county court claim, after which the total at the time of the claim is final..

 

good luck, keep at it..

Got my letter from barclays offering just under half what i have asked for. have sent them the 'response to settlement offer' letter in the template library in the handy pre paid envelope they provided. MCOL on thursday so will spend the next few days making sure i know what to write where etc.

 

On another note, does anyone know how i can change the title of my thread so that barclays is spelt correctly?

 

thanks

hi all,

I have submitted my claim with MCOL. it now says 'issued 01/12/06' and sent a copy of my schedule of charges including 8% interest to both the bank and the court. What is the next stage? do i just wait for something to come from the court? am i right in thinking Barclays have 14 days from the claim being served? is the claim served 5 days after issue? i am sure i have read the answer to these questions in other threads but want to be sure and not miss anything!

many thanks

Got my court date through yesterday - 25th April at Brighton County Court. The letter included a list of directions which apply to the claim and i am a little unsure of what they actually mean. Could anyone explain? they are:

 

6) Disclosure of documents shall be delt with as follows:

a) Both parties shall give to each other standard disclosure by list, the lists to be served by 4pm fourteen days before the hearing

b) Any request for a copy, or inspection, of any document shall be complied with by 4pm twenty-one days before the hearing.

 

7) The original documents must be bought to the hearing.

 

8) The judge may refuse to consider a document or take it into account if a copy of it has not been sent to all parties as required by this order

 

9) The documents to be sent to the parties and the court must include the statements of all witnesses (including the parties themselves).

 

then a load of stuff about witnesses and experts.

 

can anyone give me a better idea of what this means? i have tried searching the forum and even looked for patricia pearl's book in the local library but have not had much luck so far so any help would be greatly appreciated! xxx a

thanks welshman, i wonder why they don't just say "please send any documents that you will be relying on in court to the defendant and to the court?" it would be much easier to understand and small claims is supposed to be accessible. Anyway i will start work on the bundel straight away and read up on small claims procedure at the same time. Again, thanks for your reply, x ra

hi all,

 

sent krysta an email last week but have heard nothing back. i know i need to ring them now as court date is wednesday but i am not very confident talking on the phone and get easily flustered. I would now like to add £50 to my total of £872.38 because they have left it so long that i have had to take a day of my anual leave. Is this reasonable? i am very nervous. Any hints on what to say would be much appreciated.

Phone Krysta using the number below, and just ask if she could tell who who to speak to concerning your claim, she is such a nice person, they all are, they dont try and belittle you at all, very professional.

 

you can add on the £50 for loss of earnings, quote CPR 27.14, this holds a max claim of £50 [i know ajoke].

i have just spoken to a very stressed paul at barclays. He said that they he is very busy sorting out claims that are going to court tommorow and hadn't got as far as my claim yet. I explained that I was not going to be telling the court that the case was settled untill i saw the money in my account and that if he left it untill tommorow it might not clear in time. He then said that he would go and find my file and fax me a something to sign so that they can transfer the money so i guess i'm nearly there. I am now trying not to go and look at the fax machine every 2 minuets! thanks for your help dar3n - i hate telephones!
