    • 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.

doesn't say will anything.

they are not 'a creditor' as they have no consumer credit licence.

 

thus there cant be any debt, as they cant provide consumer credit.

 

they really need to look at other PPC letters before claim...

 

sch.. but its called a' letter before action'...

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

they clearly have been listening to Will and John who think that the law

- any law

- doesnt apply to their organisation.

 

 

Have a butchers at the newish consumer contract regs and especially the distance contracts regs.

 

 

IF there was a keeper liablity in this matter it would only ever be for the original amount

and cannot include all of the add ons as they must be individually negotiated.

 

 

The driver may be liable but the keeper never can be

Received this today. There is a factual inaccuracy - At no point did I agree to pay; in fact I never got in touch with them. It doesn't have the feel of a court generated letter. The County Court 'Crown' stamp has a photocopy quality. And the address? The County Court Business Centre?

  • dx100uk changed the title to One Parking Solution Windscreen disabled bay PCN Claimform - Vantage Point Brighton BN1 - defunct company vehicle

they have used moneyclaim online and the summons is sent out from the Northampton bulk centre.

it is the cheap way of sending out reams of demands.

 

Now as for saying you agreed to apy them, they mean by way of accepting a unilateral contract as offered by their signage, not that you entered into a bilateral contract where you actually have a say in the terms.

 

There are forums that query the legitimacy of these claim forms saying that there must be a real rubber stamp and a wet signature. This isnt the last century so dont follow their advice or you will lose before you have had your say.

 

You need to respond to the claim and the easiest way is to register with the govt gateway and use the moneyclaim online control panel from then on.

 

You have 12 days to say that you deny the claim in its entirety and then another fortnight to put in an outline defence.

 

As it is a non existent company and no personal liability then the easist defence will be that there is no cause for action by the claimant against the defendant as any liability lay with the co that is no longer in existence, the claimant has known this all along and their claim is vex.

 

Now the rest of your defence is standard fare, pictures of signage, authority to enter into contracts with the public and to make civil claims in their own name, planning permission etc.

 

You should send a CPR31.14 request for documents to the solicitors DCB Legal and ask for a copy of the contract between their client and the landownwer that assigns the right to enter into contracts with the public and to make civil claims in their own name and proof of planning consent for their signage under the Town and Country Planning Act 2007.

Give them 14 days to respond

 

Now they wont send you this so later on you can say that you do not believe they have the necessary permissions and that will force them to provide such proof.

 

Most parking contracts  are badly drafted and usually duff and that is why they dont like you to see them. get this letter sent off now so you have time to rubbish them in your outline defence.

this would be true if already allocated to the small claims track. If you are rich or on benefits you could try and get it done by fast track as you dont have to pay the fees and then they would be open to  ALL costs. A barrister can cost less than a solicitor.

 

However, for most people this means that you can state that you do not believe that they have the authority as they have failed to produce such a contract and the wording of their claim is ambiguous as it suggests they dont know if they own the land or not. Create doubt and the judge will be demanding answers and also take the rest of their evidence with a pinch of salt
