    • 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.

On 29/11/2019 I paid £4700 to have a used BMW delivered to my daughter and her husband in Cornwall, from Xhail Motors Ltd, Barking. 

Azim Choudray was the man we dealt with. 

It came with a 6 month warranty. 

 

In January 2020 the car began having problems, mainly with the electrics and subsequently would not start.

After calling out the RAC, a leak was found and a new battery purchased.

 

The car continued to have problems and the dealer suggested contacting the warranty company who asked for a diagnostic report.

The car was taken to a local garage but the garage owner requested that my daughter remove it and that they would telephone her when she could bring it back.

No call came

 

she took the car to a BMW garage who ran diagnostics that found many faults.

This cost over £200.

 

The warranty company would not entertain a claim until full diagnostics had been done

however the garage stated that the cost of further diagnostics would run into thousands of pounds!

 

My daughter, son in law and myself were going through a house move together at this time,

we contacted Azim Choudray and rejected the car as faulty and unfit for purpose under the Consumer Rights Act.

 

He disputed that there had been anything wrong with the car,

suggested that my daughter had spilled water on the electrics

(there was still water present even after the RAC had dealt with it) 

and had removed the car from the local garage who were willing to repair it.

(Why would she remove the car from a garage that would fix it for £40 an hour and take it to a garage that charged over £100 an hour?).

 

He said that he would repair it as a gesture of goodwill if we returned it to him

by this time the car would not start and we had been advised by the BMW garage that it was not roadworthy.

Also, as he had delivered it, it was his legal obligation to collect it.

 

I took advice from the CAB and sent a first, then a final recorded letter to Azim with the wording that the CAB Consumer Rights advisor suggested.

He failed to respond and I finally transferred the car back to him via DVLA and had it transported to Xhail Motors in Barking at a cost of over £400.

He refused to accept it so it was left outside his premises.

 

I have requested Chargeback from my bank (I stupidly paid by debit card)

but they have refused, stating that the dealer offered to repair the car, even though he will not allow it on his premises.

 

Is my only option now to take him to the small claims court which will cost me yet more money?

I'd like your thoughts please before I commit to this.

Sorry but your story is posted in the solid block of text and it's extremely difficult for people to follow on a computer screen.

Please could you repost your story – properly spaced and punctuated and you will then find that people will be very enthusiastic about helping you because they will find it easier to understand what has happened.

Thanks

Thank you for your replies and thank you so much for amending my post for me.

 

The last letter I sent to the dealer on the advice of CAB stated that it was the last letter before court action and contained the sentence,

 

"I refer you to the Practice Direction on pre-action conduct under the Civil Procedure Rules etc" which I am assuming is standard.

 

They have advised me to access moneyclaim.gov.uk and they said they had referred the dealer to TradingStandards.

 

I'm thinking my next step is to access this website and pay the necessary costs to take it to court.

 

Will I actually have to attend court?

I have taken the matter to the small claims court and the dealer has filed a defence in which he denies knowing who I am (even though I have an email from him stating that payment for the car came from me).

 

He also denies that the car was faulty when he sold it stating that the major faults were caused by my daughter driving the car after the initial small, repairable fault was found.

 

I now have to fill in the form they sent me, which asks if I want to use the written evidence of an expert and I am at a loss as to what to do. I have a page of diagnostics done by the BMW garage to show the faults they found. Is this written evidence from an expert or is this just part of evidence I get to present anyway?

 

The manger of the BMW garage was willing to discuss the matter with anyone but whether he'll want to get involved in a court matter is another thing.

 

I intend to call my daughter as a witness and hopefully she can tell the court exactly what happened, including disputing that she removed the car from a local garage that was going to repair it.

 

If we can only explain everything to a judge I'm sure Justice will prevail.

 

I am getting quite stressed out about it all.

Any evidence would be part of your witness statement later in the process.

Thank you.

I will answer that I don't want any expert witness statement then and just rely on being able to present what I already have later on.

 

One further question please,

 

The form I have received N180 has a covering letter stating

"You must by 19 June 2020 complete the Small Claims Directions Questionnaire (Form N180) and file it with the court office (name of court office) and serve copies on all other parties. "

 

Does this mean that I have to send a copy of this completed form to Xhail Motors?

Lol, thanks. There will be two witnesses as I only paid the money, and my daughter and her husband were involved in everything else, so one of them will provide a statement of what actually happened.

Assistance urgently needed now please!

 

I was telephoned by the mediator today. After he had spoken to the defendant he told me that he (the defendant) is saying that he doesn't recognise me as a customer and doesn't know who I am.

 

I have it in writing from him that I paid the money but it's true that my son in law's name is on the bill of sale etc. The mediator said I should maybe change the name on the claim. As this will cost me money, he told me to take legal advice. (I don't even know how I'd make this change)

 

Any advice please?

UPDATE: I won the case and was awarded over £6300 but, of course Azim Choudry, the director of XHAIL MOTORS LTD has not paid me. He is trying to wind up this business and has applied to Companies House for strike off action to which I have objected.

 

He has another business operating from next door to the first one called just XHAIL LTD. He also resigned as director of yet another business RIVER GARAGE SERVICES last October.

 

I am assuming that I will now have to ask for a warrant to collect the money from him?

Thank you. Just one last piece of advice please.

 

I have to pay the Sheriff's officers £156 to get this action started but I have been told by someone who visited Xhail Motors Ltd that the place is closed and locked up. 

 

Am I just throwing more money away or do you think it's worth trying to get my money? Shall I just forget it?

UPDATE: The Sheriff's Officers have advised me that after visiting Azim Choudry's house, he told them that the company ceased trading in March 2020, he resigned as a director in October 2020 and he is in the process of commencing legal proceedings against the company for money owed to him! Rubbish as he was the only owner/director so how can he take legal proceedings against himself!

 

I understand that the Officers can do no more but the final amount owed is £8037.84. Is it worth me contacting an independent debt collector?

Why not now go back to your bank under chargeback?

Overall you had 540 days to use chargeback

Im not sure how this sits regarding your try last year

But now you have judgement as the trader failed to do what they refused chargeback for before.
