    • 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.

You only get protection if the DWP transfer you over when you are on esa,if you are found fit for work you are moving to UC from esa because you wouldn't be entitled to esa anymore so you lose the protection.

 

That is what I thought, didn't expect it anyway so won't come as a shock when not getting it and being considerably worse off. Still, my credit card at £0 balance will have to see me through the 6+ weeks of no money - won't end up paying them anyway - not my fault!

 

Ironically I love the fact that you are found 'fit for work' by some spotted herbert sitting behind a desk ruining peoples lives and making them iller but your GP who has know you for years on end says you are not fit for work and signs you off at 3 months at a time. Great system eh, I mean what would your GP know, they are only professionaly trained to say you are mentally ill and suffering and able to prescribe ADs and beta blockers as well as send you for counselling and anger management.

 

Whole system STINKS

Yes it I lost my esa because the so called nurse lied and ignored evidence after she pretended to be sympathetic towards me when the decision maker called to tell me 0 points I told him what she had left out he then read my evidence which he hadn't read either he was just going by her report he reinstated my esa if he hadn't called and sent a letter I would have lost it altogether.Unfortunately it just depends who you get to assess you.

All sorted now though? I hope so!

 

I am due an ESA payment tomorrow of £146.20 and a housing benefit payment of £382.50 on 30th. I have heard nothing by way of a call or letter re WCA yet so hopefully I will at least get these 2 payments before having the dreaded call or letter andhavingto claim UC on line!

Yes thanks Matt it's sorted until next may.I get paid on a Tuesday and my payment is already processed on the Friday so that's 2 full working days before so yours should be put on the system on the 27th so you only need to get past tomorrow without any news and you should get your payment ok.Just looked at the calendar it should be put on the system tomorrow because the 30th is a Monday.

I hope so, as at least for me that wouldbe another £528.70 and another month paid up. The cynic in me says that even though the DWP have not called and I have no letter yet the LA has been informed and no money will be shown in my account. As I am OCD and worry a lot when I expect a payment I stay up until 12.15am so check it has gone in!

I'm sure it will be fine,i know the feeling every second monday i am the same but my bank doesn't pay in until 2-20am but it is worth staying up to make sure it goes in,who we would phone at that time in the morning if it didn't go in i don't know lol.

Hi there is online a list of areas and the dates of when the universal credit transition will happen. I have seen reports that its still in backlog, and that although it was meant to be done by 2018 that its now going to be 2021/2. I cant find any actual list or info for this. Is this right or are they still on the 2018 date to have it all rolled by?.

All I get from that is page not found....oh now I just clicked on the link in the email message and I got the page. Thank you. From that it says once its rolled out in all areas then the existing benefit claimants (which I guess are like me currently on esa support group etc) will be transferred from 2019.

 

Thanks.

Depends on what info you're after?

 

There's a collation of resource links on this page https://benefitrights.net/2015/03/30/universal-credit-maps/

 

There is an interactive map you can click on which might be on that page but I can't remember the exact link.

 

Also whilst you have the different rollout levels I'm not sure there's a list on when the planned rather than natural migration of existing claimants commences.

 

So whilst it should be rolled out by end of 2018 the migration of existing non UC claims will take far longer and hence the is it 2020/2022? completion date *

 

* note this maybe subject to further revision as all claims were supposed to be migrated over by Sept 2017 iirc :lol:

Hi speedfreek, yes that was what I was after...the migration of non uc claimants. The area I am in is last but one listed on the roll out, and was scheduled 2018, but now am hearing its more likely to be 2021...the way its going I will be a pensioner by the time it gets me.

Today the form has arrived.

Was due in January 2016 so i had some peace.

4 years since the last one came and i was left in support group.

 

There doesn't seem much in the way of real sensible questions, some really silly ones that i just despair at. But the sentence that says i can use extra sheets if needed will mean quite a few pages that cover all the important things, the things that really matter.

 

Its a good job i/we have a few weeks to do it, my daughter/carer will be helping.

 

I will need to give this form as one example of things that stress me out and make my illnesses worse, and waiting for the outcome.

 

And sorry...i forgot to ask the thing i came here to ask...... Assuming they will haul me in for questioning, can i get the assessment recorded still? for ESA?

So far as I know you can still ask for assessments to be recorded, and definitely should.

 

I'm overdue for reassessment by two years, and whilst I appreciate the peace (whilst I deal with the PIP assessment and subsequent complaint!) there's also that sword of damocles and the occasional stray thought as to whether the form has got lost in the post. Plus the panic attack every time there's a brown envelope in the post ...

 

Good luck, and remember that if it's worth saying once it's worth repeating at every opportunity, mention 'risk' and 'danger' as often as possible and if their little tick boxes don't match your circumstances exactly, don't tick one.

Thank you RMW....there have been times when i have wondered if there would be a lost form scenario. I have until 28th march to get it back to them, it will be quite some paperwork for them to read.

You can still request the interrogation be recorded, I phoned on the morning of mine only to be told the equipment is broken so they'll resend a new appointment.

 

So far so good, nothing in the post.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

My daughter has googled dwp recording esa assessments and it says request it in advance. So it will go on the form they have sent me. It will have to be recorded as i have dreadful memory issues related to one of my illnesses, and i have to be able to know what was or wasn't said etc or my anxiety will be sky high, plus the added anxiety of the whole thing anyway.

Please remember that no one will read anything you put on the form regarding the assessment, e.g. ground floor needed, and the appointment will be booked through their automatic system so you may need to check that the assessment centre is suitable once you receive an appointment.

Also, no one will have read that you want the assessment recorded so you'll need to check that too.

In fact, it's unlikely that anyone will have read anything on the form other than your name and address until just before the assessment.

So the form has gone off with as much info as we could muster....it says on there to request recording or home visit asap, so that's been put on there too. My daughter has also emailed their customer services, for information about what they actually do with the info/form etc...its been 4 yrs since the last one, i feel sick.

Hi. Last year i had a dwp budget loan. As is the norm i had the offer, accepted it and returned the form re the re-payments. Repayments started and will end next week.

 

Letter came last week confirming the last payment will be next week. And giving the new

rates of esa support group from April. An extra couple of pounds per week. Simple. On the page was in bold stating i must inform them of any changes, ie partner if i have one etc. i have never seen this on previous letters, like it was highlighted.

 

i thought maybe it was triggered by my recent name change, by deed poll, to rid myself of my old married name, ive been divorced and single for years. So i wrote to the dwp (well my daughter did as if me as she has power of attorney and i asked her to) to explain that my adult children hadnt used my old married name for 2 years and had changed theyre names by deedpoll to my maiden name, and that now i had done the same. No other changes. Simple.

 

Today i get another letter, giving change of rates again as before. When and how paid etc. Then goes on to say they used the tax years 2003/2004 to assess my claim?

 

They obviously haven't updated their file as its in old name, despite a letter from them assuring me they have kept a deed copy and advised ALL departments necessary.

 

They then go on to tell me (what they have already done) about deductions from benefit for the loan last year. The amounts dated from 15th April 2017 to June 2017.

 

i may be being a bit thick? but i feel like alice in wonderland, none of it makes sense.

 

still awaiting the outcome of the esa reassessment form that went off 22nd march. No reply from the email my daughter sent re waiting times and reassurance it would be read by somebody who understand my illnesses, despite them advising they usually get back to you within 2 days.

 

Each time i see a dwp type envelope i feel sick. Anxiety through the roof.

I've seen another thread in the last day or two mentioning using those tax years to assess a claim which turned out to have been issued in error, I wonder if the DWP have a gremlin issuing irrelevant letters at the moment?

 

I know exactly what you mean about DWP envelopes - horrible sinking feeling at the mere sight of a brown envelope on the mat.

 

I'd be tempted to ignore the letter for now, but if you have to phone or get someone to phone and query it.
