    • 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.
    • 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,

      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.

Do I include the court fee in the total claim or is it (total claim excluding any interest or fees) x 0.08/365

 

This - without court fees

So no court fees, ok, but what about the already calculated interest.

 

My figure is 2676 then i have added 378.23 in (8%) interest up to today.

 

So i would calculate the day using just the 2676 x(.08/365)

 

In your claim write

 

"a) The return of charges debited to my account of £2676 (two tousand.....)

b) Court Costs

c) Interest under s69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% per year of £378.23 (three hundred .....) and also interest at the same rate up to the day of judgement or earlier payment at a daily rate of 0.022% (equivalent to £0.58/day)"

Thanks all for their help at this stage it's be very much appreciated.

 

I have just received my confirmation letter from Northampton regarding my file and Natwest will receive papers on 5th June.

 

Now what do i send to the court (i assume just the list of charges i have done in excel) and also do i send it to the Northampton address? Hardly my local court though as i live in Kent :-)

 

If i do send the schedule of charges, i have just added some more on since i filed the claim, should i state in a cover letter that additional charges have been added since i filed and they are included in the spreadsheet or should i just be sending the charges i have filed for?

 

Thanks all!

You send the schedule of charges with a covering letter quoting your claim number. You can't add more charges once you have filed your claim - the scehdul you sedn must add to up to what's on your claim. The only way you can add more charges now is by using a from N244 and that costs £35 which you can't claim back

You will have to start again from the prelim stage (presumably you will make sure you keep all your statements). However, in the prelim you will point out how you have just won through the court and, hopefully, they will just give you the money without (much of) a fight.

ooooo, what a pain.

 

Thanks for the tip.

 

I have just printed out my list of charges with the interest on, however the amount is different because a few days have passed since i filed and the interest has added a few quid on. Will this be ok, since it will continue to grow for every day that passes that they dont pay? Or should i change the clock on my computer or something to trick it into working out the sum on the date i filed?

 

Cheers

With every stage of the process )up until you make aclaim in court) you can adjust the schedule as more charges/interest are added

Hi Steve

 

yes mate I understand that and have been doing so but now i hvae filed and i have also chosen the s69 route (as you know) which means the total will change every day until they pay up. So if the schedule i printed out today is slightly more (due to this interest) is that ok? ( i have NOT added any charges on since i filed the claim though).

Sorry forgot which thrad I was on! On your claim did you put on the PoC something like "s69 interest at 8% per year (0.022%/day) of £xx plus interest at the same rate up until the date of judgement or earlier settlement"

 

I don't think it matters, the court knows the score with s69 interest (so does the defendant - at least they ought to by now!!)

Ok all

 

Here's another update

 

Natwest were deemed to have papers served on 5th June.

 

Awaiting any repsonse, however...

 

I have received a letter demanding payment of the account in full, return of all cards and cheque books AND threatening legal action to recover the monies owed to the bank.

 

I have just called and told them about the dispute and the current situation and they asked if i could make any payments to the account at all. I explained NO as this would effect my case in court as I would be seen as agreeing and paying the charges. Is this correct of me to say i ask you all?

 

Also they said that they would serve me a default notice and if not paid in 28 days they would default my credit score and recover the money through a legal proceeding.

 

Now i explained that their actions are illegal as the account is not only in dispute but they have been served papers by the court on the matter.

 

He put me on hold for a few minutes and came and said ¨ no sir my manager says we can get the money back from you regardless of the situation and you have 28days from the default notice to pay otherwise we will take further action and register a default with the agencies¨

 

He did then apologies and say it was their formal procedure but i also explained that if they did then i would follow up with further legal action to have the default removed and also compensation for any loses. Considering this is right in the middle of a mortgage application and house purchase, and the default prevents me from getting my morgage i can slam them in court.

 

They cant surely default me when i am taking them to court over the matter can they?

 

Any advice on how i should deal with them or handle this?

Faceyes, I shall get a moderator to have a look at this for you. So please don't panic. Good luck.

A person is only as big as the dream they dare to live.

 

 

Good things come to he who waits

 

 

Its your money taken unlawfully from your account and you have a legal right to claim it back.

Send a letter (if possible fax a copy - otherwise send by recorded delivery) outlining the details of the phone call, the fact that the account is in dispute, and that if they take any action whilst the dispute remains unresolved they will be in breach of the Banking Code - and you will escalate the matter to the Financial Ombudsman Service.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hi again all

 

Really need some legal advice now! PLEASE! PLEASE PLEASE!

 

I have today received a letter from Cobblers. Its the old intimidatory technique and is requiring further information from me or else basically. They are applying for a strike out unless i provide it. Can anyone help.

 

There is a long winded 4 pages of crap that goes over my head and then its summed up at the end what i need to provide by next week.

 

1) In your claim you state: ¨the defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract¨

 

2) Please provide the following particulars in support of your claim:

 

2.1 In relation to each charge please identify (a) the date when the charge was charged; (b) the amount of the same; and © the reason(s) given for the charging of the same.

 

2.2 In relation to each charge, please clarify the following; and (a) is it the case of the claimant the same should not have been charged? (b) If yes; please explain why the claimaint contends that the same should not have been charged? © If no; is it the case of the claimant that the same should not have been charged in this amount? (d) If yes; please explain why the claimant contends that the same should not have been charged in this amount and identify the sum the claimant contends should have been charged. (e) If no; please state the claimants case.

 

3 In your claim you state the the charges are 'unenforceable under the Unfair Terms Act 1977 and the common law¨ and ¨they must be reasonable under s15 of the supply of goods and services act 1982¨ Please specify all of the facts relied on by the Claimant in support of the contentions in paragraph 3 above, and in particular please identify (a) the section(s) of The Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 (¨UCTA 1977¨); (b) the regulations of The Unfair Terms in Consumer Regulations 1999 (¨the Regulations¨); and © the principles of common law relied upon by the Claimant in alleging that the contractual provision(s) referred to are unenforceable.

 

 

 

Is this pretty standard with a pretty standard answer? The other 4 pages are even worse! :-)

 

FACEEYES!

Oh, also they state in the other four pages of legal stuff i dont understand that i am claiming more than six years which i cant do, except its exactly 6 years from the date my first letter and request for monies was delivered to natwest. So now its obviously going to be a few months more since they stretch it all out with this rubbish behaviour!

Hi faceeyes, is this the defence you've received with a CPR 18 response or something else??????? If it isn't, I'll ask a moderator to have a look at this for you.

It says on the front (and the back mind)

 

'REQUEST FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND CLARIFICATION'

 

We enclose by way of service:

 

1 Defence

2 Request for Further Information

 

 

 

The first page in has DEFENCE written at the top and the first paragraph says

 

¨This Defence is filed and served without prejudice to the defendants case that Particulars of Claim do not disclose reasonable grounds for bringing a claim against the defendant to recover the bank charges (and interest thereon) referred to in the particulars of the claim or any other sum(s). In the event that the claim is not properly particularised then the defendant will apply to strike out the claim and/or for summary judgement in respect of the same.¨

 

 

This wad of paper contains a lot of stuff man i really dont get it all.

 

Cheers

Send them the letter in this link here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/natwest-bank/35672-cobbetts-cpr-18-request.html along with a copy of your schedule of charges.
