    • 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.

Whenever I have problems dropping off to kip, Wally is there to help me out.

 

48 paragraphs to say "we put loads of signs up mate, masses of 'em".

 

He's scored an own goal in (6) by saying you declined to answer letters when he knows full well that is nonsense as you never got the letters because you were in Zimbabwe.  Either he's lying or it's a cut & pasted WS: either way what he wrote cannot be taken seriously.

 

Plus maybe another in (27) & (28) & (29).  Do we know if the PCN dates of postage were POFA complaint?

 

In (38) Walley asserts that Planning Permission is not needed!  Easy to show the legislation and that VCS have committed a crime. 

 

In (23) & (39) & (40) & (41) & (42) there's the usual rubbish of "my bezzies in the IPC say it's OK so it must be OK".  Sorry, Walley, it's the law in England & Wales that decides.

I am so sorry everyone - i have been cut off from u for so long with a firewall and could not understand why i could not get onto your web site. 

Finally after so much frustration i have realised i needed a vpn. Obviously there is a firewall in place for those of us in Zimbabwe. So i am back in touch with u all with my VPN.

I am slightly panicking i have done nothing towards preparing for my impending court case.

I will read all your threads and act immediately as time will be running out.

10am on the 22nd April by BT Meet Me at the County Court at Bristol (60 mins)

 

Unless the claimant does by 4 on 25 March 2022 pay to the court the trial fee of £27 or file a properly completed application (ie one which provides all the required information in the manner requested) for help with fees, then the claim will be struck out with effect from

25 March without further order  and, unless the court orders otherwise, you will also be liable for the costs which the defendant has incurred.

 

Papers have to be delivered to the court office 14 days before the hearing.

Yes i will deal with that urgently and get back to you. I am so relieved i finally am back in contact with u all.

It was making me so anxious not being able to respond or read your responses - i am just annoyed it took me so long to figure it out.

Naughty sons do have their uses after all and if it had not been for me telling him he had to deal with his latest misdemeanour (just posted) i would not have found out how to get onto your  website at all!  So every dark cloud has a silver lining!!!

Draft Email to Bristol Court:

Please see attached my “Notice of Allocation to the Small Claims Track (Hearing)”.

I am currently resident in Zimbabwe and am not due to return to England until the end of May 2022.

I notice that my hearing will be at 10am on the 22nd April 2022 by BT Meet Me at the County Court at Bristol BS1 6GR.

Can you confirm that BT Meet Me can call Zimbabwe? I am concerned that our phones are unreliable and it is not always easy to get through. Quite often if there has been a rain storm, the phone lines are down!  

Once you have made enquiries about putting the BT Meet Me call through to Zimbabwe I can make a decision whether to fly back to England for the court case or not.

My concern is, this could get expensive for the Claimant, if he has to refund my expenses.

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

*. Should i copy the claimant into this email or not?  Maybe i should just wait for the response first?

Personally I would copy the mail to VCS (to the "litigation@vhs" address that you must have on the correspondence somewhere). 

 

The more it's emphasised to Simple Simon that you live in Zimbabwe the better as he might discontinue (not out of any decency of course but just to cut his losses in suing someone who lives abroad).

 

I would however change

 

I am currently resident in Zimbabwe and am not due to return to England until the end of May 2022.

 

to

 

I am resident in Zimbabwe.

 

There's no need to tell the court about your May visit, indeed it might encourage them to change the hearing date to May.

No response from the court to

I'm the most glass-half-full person there is, but I can see a potentially very bad conclusion here.

 

The overworked court don't reply to you.

They can't get through on the phone on the day.

Simon wins by default - again - and you get a backdoor CCJ - again.

 

I suggest that you e-mail VCS with -

 

Dear VCS,

 

Re: PCN no. XXXXX, Claim no. XXXXX

 

it has come to my attention that you are deliberately sending letters to an address you know full well I do not live at.

 

You are well aware that I won my set aside application in this case against you because I do not reside at XXXXX, England but rather at XXXXX, Harare, Zimbabwe, and have done for XX years.

 

I will bring your actions to the attention of the court.

 

Kindly write to my correct address in future.

 

Yours,

 

XXXXX

 

I would also get on to the court again with -

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

firstly would you please note that the address on the claim form is incorrect.  I do not reside at XXXXX, England but rather at XXXXX, Harare, Zimbabwe, and have done for XX years.  indeed I won a set aside application in this case on that basis.

 

Secondly I wrote to you on ...

 

and go on to repeat your earlier mail verbatim about phone calls to Zimbabwe.

 

This should all have been done in December when we first suggested it, not this close to the hearing.  Anyway, hopefully the mails will at least get the address changed and stop a CCJ going to your English address.  Unless any of the regulars disagree, send both mails this evening, Simons's to both Wali and Litigation, and with the court's one copy to Wali and Litigation.  The more we hammer into Simon's head that you're in Zimbabwe the better.

 

If there is no joy from the court this time maybe next week you could think about getting a female friend or relative in the UK to phone the court.

We could do with some help from you.

Looks like best plan FTMDave it does look like Simon is trying to get a default again by using the wrong address, so send as suggested, as an aside wonder how difficult it would be to Enforce a UK CCJ against a Zimbabwe address ?

BN, I think the answer is impossible - which is one of the reasons Zimbird has such a great record against various fleecers!

 

(Not just that of course, they have put in a huge amount of work to fight the charlatans).

 

But Zimbird doesn't want a CCJ against the English address, so best to bat Simon away if possible.  The two mails need to go off immediately.
