    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?
    • 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.

    • 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 good pipo sometime ago I came to this group for advice about a overstaying parking ticket by OPC WOLVERHAMPTON I was advised not to pay and did that and everything went well.

 

I was given another ticket and I ignored the threats, but now I have been taken to County Court by OPC.

The letter that I received from the County Court says that i agreed to pay within 28days but did not.

That’s a pure lie I never contacted these people and I never agreed to pay anything.

 

Now my question is this is there a chance of winning this case?

Hi.

 

This seems to have gone a long way down the line. Did you have other correspondence from the court - claim form, court date, etc?

 

Can you scan up or type up the court letter so we can see what's happened please, especially the bit about paying within 28 days?

You've been here since 2009 and yet you've only decided to come to us about this now.

As requested above, you should put up the details of what you have received – and scanned PDF format.

Also give us more information about this parking ticket which you have received from this private parking company. Follow this link >>> parking ticket<<<<and post the answers here

 

You should also see what we say about ignoring these things. If you ignore then it's a Big Fail 👎.

Also if you don't come to us earlier on – that's another Big Fail 👎

We need to see the details, as honeybee & BankFodder have asked.  In particular in quick bullet points could you tell us

   - when you parked

   - when they sent you the ticket

   - when they sent a Letter Before Action/Claim

   - when you got court papers

   - when you got the CCJ.

 

That is of course if all these things have happened.

the bit about agreeing to pay within 28 days is part of their suppoed contract and the POFA regulation upon timings to create a liability.

 

Now this is clearly a different event to the first one so we will need al lof the information about this event

- date time

whether you got a ticket slapped on the car,

date the NTK was issued and the date it arrived,

what other correspondence you have received,

what was the issue date of the court claim

and what exactly the claim is for.

 

we will also need to see images of the entrance to the land and the signage at the entrance and any other signage on the site.

If it is P&D them we need to see the blurb on the ticket machine and also know whether the driver paid to park or not.

ok thanks for replies, its a different issue its 2017, i will scan the info

 

there was no ticket on the car screen

i only received a letter from dcb legal ltd in January 2020 

another letter in Feb 2020 saying they are acting on behalf of OBServices Parking Consultancy  

stating that on the 02/02/2017 i overstayed my parking on ST Johns Retail Park Wolverhampton and i need to pay. 

 

 The letter that I received from the County Court says that i agreed to pay within 28 days but i did not.

 

That’s a pure lie I never contacted these people and I never agreed to pay anything.

 

i have posted a pic of the letter from the county court i hope its clear. thanks

will you reread my earlier posting about unilateral contract and the POFA and stop this nonsense about you not agreeing to pay them, it is utterly irrelevant to your cause and will only distract you and waste time.

 

Now you need to register with moneyclaim online and tick the box saying you wish to defend the claim in full.

You then get another 14 days to submit a defence and that will be a short version of what you will say if the matter goes to a hearing

 

we need you to also send a CPR31.14 request for information to the parking co/solicitors asking for certain information.

 

You want to see a copy of hire contract with the landowner that assigns the right to enter into contrcats with the public and to make civil claims in their own name.

 

You also want copies of the notice to driver and/or Notice to keeper and a copy or reference number for the planning permission for their signage and equuipment as required by the Town and Country Planning Act 2007

 

give then 14 days to respond and if they dotn you can use this against them in your defence.

 

We also need to see the signage at the site so get down there and take pictures of

the entrance to the land,

the signs there and

any signs inside the land that are different to the entrance or each other.

 

If P&D we need pictures of the blurb on the payment machine

here is my defence..

 

1. It is admitted that Defendant is the recorded keeper of xxxxxx

 

2. It is denied that the Defendant parked in St Johns at the times mentioned in the Particulars OR the Defendant is unable to admit or deny the precise times he was parked in St Johns as he has no recollection of this. The Claimant is put to strict proof of the same.

 

3 It is denied that the Claimant entered into a contract with the Defendant. As held by the Upper Tax Tribunal in Vehicle Control Services Limited v HMRC [2012] UKUT 129 (TCC), any contract requires offer and acceptance. The Claimant was simply contracted by the landowner to provide car-park management services and is not capable of entering into a contract with the Defendant on its own account, as the carpark is owned by and the terms of entry set by the landowner. Accordingly, it is denied that the Claimant has authority to bring this claim. The proper Claimant is the landowner.

 

4. Unfair Contract Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations: This provides that "A contractual term which has not been individually negotiated shall be regarded as unfair if, contrary to the requirement of good faith, it causes a significant imbalance in the parties' rights and obligations arising under the contract, to the detriment of the consumer" … and if it meets that test it is not enforceable.

 

5.The Particulars of Claim is denied in its entirety. It is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief at all."
