    • 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.

Yes, please draft a snotty letter and post it up.

 

I appreciate the original PCN has gone astray, but can you at least remember what the "offence" was?

 

Well done on ignoring Smart's drivel until now, but you need to reply to a LBC.

We could do with some help from you.

It might be possible to see the PCN and/or photos through their site  https://payments.townandcityparking.co.uk/live-pgc-user/

 

On the other hand it might not, but worth a click and a try.

Hi,

 

Please accept my apologies for only just coming back to you.

 

I have been able to find the PCN details on that site (thanks for pointing me in the right direction) - it seems that the contravention was insufficient time paid and they have photos of the car entering/leaving.

 

My wife doesnt think she had to enter her reg in the meter so maybe this is a lost cause and I should just pay?

 

Cheers,

OK, mystery solved, I saw the machines on Google Maps and thought they might be input-your-reg ones, and wrong reg cases are the easiest to win.

 

Thanks for looking at Smart's site.  I wasn't sure that would work.  The info will be useful for others in future.

 

We can - sort of - understand someone giving in.  But the time to give in is when the fleecers want £60, not when the amount has gone up to £100 (which is quite legal) and certainly not when they demand £160 (which is not legal, the extra £60 is pure fantasy).

 

You don't mention £160 but I'm damn sure that's what they're after, we know Smart and CST Law very well.

 

Lots of other Caggers have fought back at this point with a snotty letter showing Smart they would be big trouble if they did do court.  Usually Smart give up and go after someone else it's easier to mug.  Sometimes they do do court.

Also - how long did she overstay?  This is very important.

 

As dx says, if you can download the PCN from their site and put it here we can get all this info.

Hi,

 

Thanks again for this - appreciate the time and effort helping me - I really don't want to give in to these utter sharks.

 

There is no option to download the PCN however I have printed to PDF so I hoping this may be some use? It does say that the office can provide more evidence but I would assume contacting them would be bad?

 

As for how long she overstayed, I am not quite sure - turns out she was not in a shop but at something called Totally Gruesome (Halloween thing) with our son and was there for about 60 to 90 mins from 10am. I reckon she probably paid for at least an hour so would have only overstayed by about 30 mins max but we cannot be sure.

 

FYI - drafting snotty letter as we speak.

 

 

 

Is it possible to just tweak this snotty letter:

 

Claimant: Smart Parking LTD

Vehicle Reg:

 

Dear CST Law I am in receipt of your letter dated the 18th June 2020 (although I received it 15th July) and have noted its contents.

 

Unfortunately for you I cannot accept this shoddily thrown together piece of tripe to be a LBC as it fails miserably to come anywhere near a LBC as required under the revised Civil Procedure Regulations and so would expect a court to summarily dismiss any claim later made by you or your client on that basis.

 

So, to make sure that there is no misunderstanding, I deny that any monies are owed to your client by myself as there is precedent case law that your clients' greed has blinded them to. Even the British Parking Association have given in and changed their stance.

 

The same applies to the inflated amount of the claim, the POFA and contract law are very clear on this point and again plenty of examples of dismissed claims are in the public domain. Remember DJ Harvey at Lewes in May?

 

It would be wise if you took your obligations you signed up to when being entered onto the SRA roll and advised your clients it is not in their interests to continue with this matter as they have no cause for action and I shall seek a full costs recover order for any civil claim made under the unreasonableness criteria.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Z

Well done on finding the snotty letter.

 

However, cut out this sentence - Even the British Parking Association have given in and changed their stance - because it refers specifically to a wrong registration case.

 

Plus cut out - Remember DJ Harvey at Lewes in May? - because unfortunately the fleecers appealed and DDJ Harvey's ruling was overturned.

 

Write at the bottom COPIED TO SMART PARKING and tomorrow invest in two 2nd class stamps and get two free Certificates of Posting from the post office.

 

As dx says, if you are able to get photos and/or the PCN from their site then please do so and upload here.  If it's impossible you could SAR them say in a week's time.  The important thing is to get the snotty letter off sharpish in response to their LBC.

 

Excellent that they haven't respected PAPLOC with the carp dates on the letter.  Keep any letter/post mark that can prove this.

Sorry all, I have been useless at this - thanks again for patience and guidance.

Also, seems my wife got the timings wrong as she was there from 1121 until 1257.

 

Thanks!

Excellent.  Get the two snotty letters off and get the two CoPs.  Probably a good idea to stick their PCN number in as a reference at the start.
