    • Do you have broadband at home? A permanent move to e.g. Sky Glass may not fit with your desire to keep your digibox,, but can you move the items you most want off the digibox? If so, Sky Glass might suit you. You might ask Sky to loan you a “puck” and provide access as an interim measure. another option might be using Sky Go, at least short term, to give you access to some of the Sky programming while awaiting the dish being sorted.
    • £85PCM to sky, what!! why are you paying so much, what did you watch on sky thats not on freeview?  
    • Between yourself and Dave you have produced a very good WS. However if you were to do a harder hitting WS it may be that VCS would be more likely to cancel prior to a hearing. The Contract . VCS [Jake Burgess?] are trying to conflate parking in a car park to driving along a road in order to defend the indefensible. It is well known that "NO Stopping " cannot form a contract as it is prohibitory. VCS know that well as they lose time and again in Court when claiming it is contractual. By mixing up parking with driving they hope to deflect from the fact trying to claim that No Stopping is contractual is tantamount to perjury. No wonder mr Burgess doesn't want to appear in Court. Conflation also disguises the fact that while parking in a car park for a period of time can be interpreted as the acceptance of the contract that is not the case while driving down a road. The Defendant was going to the airport so it is ludicrous to suggest that driving by a No Stopping  sign is tacitly accepting  the  contract -especially as no contract is even being offered. And even if a motorist did not wish to be bound by the so called contract what could they do? Forfeit their flight and still have to stop their car to turn around? Put like that the whole scenario posed by Mr Burgess that the Defendant accepted the contract by driving past the sign is absolutely absurd and indefensible. I certainly would not want to appear in Court defending that statement either. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I will do the contract itself later.
    • Yes - ignore. Because of another MET victim today I looked at all our MET cases back to June 2014 ... yes, 10 years. They have never dared take a motorist to court and argue their case before a judge.  They have started the odd court case, but as a means of trying to intimidate the motorist into coughing up, when the motorist defended and refused to give in it was MET who bottled it and discontinued.
    • Unpaid wages should be pretty straightforward if you did the work. Don't be intimidated. You need only show you were due money, and did not get money.   The risk is that they have no money to pay you (and legal fees) - frankly a solicitor maybe be costing them more than your claim is for and I might have expected them to make a commercial decision to settle before this point regardless of the merits of the case.

    • 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.

Thanks m55 and...I will reiterate that MBNA are driving me crazy!!!

 

I am so unhappy about what they have done and are doing to me. Yesterday I felt so miserable because I have been fighting them for so long, my protests/complaints get me nowhere. Think I'll just throw the towel in an let them take me to court.

Because if they do, and someone asks for a repeat one and a sig appears, they will lose their license and be closed down. Fraud on that kind of level will not be accepted by the authorities and MBNA know this. There is a fine line between riding roughshod over your 'customers' and a smoking gun that closes them down.

I fgured that but its been nagging me,

 

I've not seen a copy of my MBNA agreement/application since it was filled in - I certainly don't have a copy - assuming that they read this, why would he not just add a sig and a date now. They would already know that I don't have a copy... I mean we know that they (banks/cards etc) are already breaking the law in a pretty hard fashion.

well I can think of lots of reasons ...how do they know you don't have the original? If you ask for a copy this would mean they would send a copy out to you with a different sig. & possibly date. That would bu**er them for start.

 

Supposing you genuinely thought you has lost your agreement, asked for another, (which they send signed by Mr. Anybody who's working there on that day)and then you found the original?

 

Suppose they were investigated and it came to light that "Mr. Anybody" didn't work for them when you took out the original agreement?

 

And your suggestion is so overtly fraudulent/malpractice etc. that I don't think that even MBNA would subcribe to something that as my learned colleague m55 has already said, would shut the whole kaboosh down.

 

And that's for starters.

I think the reason they don't 'forge' signatures on agreements is because, although a signature is required under the act, most Judges will not consider a lack of the creditors signature a material breach and will happily allow enforcement, all else being in order.

Very valid point also, Lantana. I have trouble assimmilating in my mind that financial institutions, with their vast resources can freely abuse the court system, waste everyone's time & money - be allowed stays willy-nilly, get the CCA re-interpeted in court so that what the Act actually stipulates in not applied to them - with the little old consumer who knocks himself out to do everything "by the book" in order to re-claim what is rightfully his/hers, and the resulting stress, financial "embarassment" etc. It grieves me when people come on here and tell us that they can't afford the £120 court fees, so it will have to wait until next pay day.:evil:

Hi Guys (except M55, who is already aware of this from my thread),

 

MBNA have "attempted" to comply with my CCA request by way of what seems to me to be a cut and shuffle document. Bits and pieces have obviously been blanked out by stickers and then the pages photocopied. They have also provided a third copy of Mr Corn's application form.

 

I can't scan this but would be pleased to fax it to anybody who might take a look at it for me and give me a measured opinion.

 

M55 seems to think he has the same thing.

 

I personally think this is a panic response on behalf of MBNA.

Hi Corn

 

Sadly I don't have a fax, but it sounds like you're in the clear. To have any chance of enforcement in court they must, at the very least, produce a piece of paper signed by you (or Mr Corn) that has an interest rate, a credit limit (or reference to one) and a repayment schedule.

Hi Lantana, thank you for replying, just to clarify, they have provided the following :

 

Application form, obviously signed by Mr Corn and a stamp on it across the bit that says Principl Cardholder's Application & Declaration.

 

A sheet headed MBNA Europe Bank Limited with Mr Corn's name and address credit card number and credit limit. This has also got a box on it saying Important Security Information (please read the information below carefully), I am wondering if this is a credit card mailer. It then looks like stickers have been placed over bits of info and then it's been photocopied.

 

On the same page it says Credit Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 Terms And Conditions (this is a copy of your agreement for you to keep. It includes a notice about your cancellation rights which you should read). It has on it various aprs for card purchases balance transfers, cheque transactions and cash transactions. This runs onto a second photocopied page, which again has a sticker at the bottom under the bit headed "complaints" which is obviously blanking out something they don't want us to see!

 

The next page is Terms and Conditions of use with another set of aprs (but different amounts this time, in fact lower apr's than on the other sheet). There are no visible signatures on any of these pages.

 

It looks like a right cut and shuffle. Now if they had this information before, why did they not provide it within the 12 + 30 and why have the DCA been unable to produce it at all? This is the third time they have sent an application form purporting to be an "agreement".

 

What now batman???!!:)

Just a bit of additional information, I have noticed that the credit limit on this forgery is actually one that was set in the last few years, not the limit that the card was when it was taken out in 1996. This is outrageous!!

Well in my case I wrote back to MBNA saying their response fell well short of what was required under the act. I've had zilch back from them since. Others take a different stance and simply ignore them from now on - the choice is yours Corn.

 

BA will likely have a very strong view on this.

I'd be honestly surprised if this was an attempt at forgery Corn. They probably have an explanation (albeit a very silly one) for what they've sent.

 

They may well be complying with the act insofar as what they sent is a true copy of what they consider to be the agreement they hold in relation to the account. Unfortunately for them, however, the 'agreement' itself doesn't stand up.

They're not allowed to use constructive conjecture (this is what it would look like) and they know that. The one they sent to me is a farce. I bet the blanking stickers on hers match mine 100%

 

It is a forgery, plain and simple. They cannot state anything lawful as a purpose. These guys are supposed to have a license for %^&*( sake, they're supposed to know this.

I agree M, the credit limit illustrated is about 10K over what it was when the card was taken out, it has blanking stickers too, prob exactly the same, it has two different sets of T&C's with different apr's. It also has a weird barcode thing on the application that wasn't there on the other copies they sent me.

Yes m55, and yes Corn. However if they were going to go to all the trouble to 'forge' something, you'd think they'd forge something that would pass as an agreement.

 

The stuff stuck on was probably stuck on to help process the original application paperwork - something they're now paying a high price for. I have something like it from HSBC. It's been produced as a result of shoddy procedures in their operations centre. Forgery suggests criminal intent and bad as MBNA are, I doubt they'd go there.

 

When faced with s78 requests lenders can...

 

1) Comply by sending a copy of the valid agreement.

 

2) Comply without a valid agreement, by sending a copy of what they hold as the agreement. It's for a court to determine if the agreement is valid or not!

 

3) Write back saying that they've no agreement and there's no need to pay us anymore.

 

4) Fail to comply and commit an offence.

 

Now if I were a lender and only had an application form to send to the debtor, I'd send it to comply with the s78 request. None of the letters I've had from lenders have made any reference to the validity of the agreement sent. Indeed, why should it.

Hi LB, by sending the application (if that's all they have) they comply with s78 and avoid potential legal sanction. They presumably will say to TS, if tackled, that as far as they're concerned that's the agreement.

 

Many peeps have been sent 'applications' and accept them as being valid agreements. Personally I challenge the rubbish they send me, if appropriate.

Hmm, you would have thought with all the info on here, people would not get conned into believing applications are agreements.

Given the amount threads concerned with the validity of what has been received in response to CCA requests, I would hope, by now, the penny is dropping!
