    • Good afternoon, I am writing because I am very frustrated. I received a parking fine from MET Parking Services Ltd , ( Southgate park Stansted CM24 1PY) . We stopped for a quick meal in Mcdonalds and were there fir around 30 mins. We always do this after flights and never received a parking fine before.  Reason: The vehicle left in Southgate car park without payment made for parking and the occupants southgate premises. they took some pictures of us leaving the car. i did not try and appeal it yet as I came across many forums that this is a scam and I should leave it. But I keep getting threatening letters.  Incident happened : 23/10/2023 I did contact Mcdonalds and they said this:  Joylyn (McDonald’s Customer Services) 5 Apr 2024, 12:05 BST Dear Laura, Thank you for contacting McDonald’s Customer Services. I’m sorry to hear that you have received a Parking Charge Notice following your visit to our Stansted restaurant.   We've introduced parking restrictions at some of our restaurants to make sure there are always parking spaces available for customers.   We appreciate that some visits such as birthday parties or large group visits might take longer and the parking restrictions aren't intended to stop this. If you think your stay will exceed the stated maximum parking time then please speak to a manager in advance.   Your number plate is scanned by our Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system when you enter our car park, and then again when you leave. If you have overstayed the maximum time allowed, you will not be notified straight away- a Parking Charge Notice will be sent to you via the post.   If you feel that a Parking Charge Notice has been issued in error, please contact our approved contractors who issued the charge in order to appeal the charge. Unfortunately McDonald's are unable to revoke parking tickets- the outcome of the appeal is final and cannot be overturned by McDonald’s.   Many thanks for taking the time to contact McDonald’s Customer Services.   Can someone please help me out and suggest what I should do next?  Thank you 
    • Good Evening, I've got a fairly simple question but I'll provide some context incase needed. I've pursued a company that has operations in england despite them having no official office anywhere. I've managed to find a site they operate from and the papers there have been defended so I know they operate there. They've filed a defence which is honestly the worst defence ever, and despite being required to provide their witness evidence, they have not and have completely ignored the courts and my request for copies of it. I'm therefore considering applying to strike out their defence on the grounds the defence was rubbish and that they haven't provided any evidence for the trial. However, it has a trial date set for end of june, and a civil application wouldn't get heard until a week before then, so hardly worth it. However, my local court is very good at dealing with paper applications (i.e ones that don't need hearings, and frankly I think they are literally like 1-2 days from when you submit it to when a Judge sees it. I'm wondering if I can apply to strikeout a defence without a hearing OR whether a hearing is required for a strikeout application.   Thanks
    • I have just opened another bank acc with lloyds (i have a few already) After doing some research they may have some relation to tsb or be apart of the same group will this cause me issue if my salary is paid into my lloyds account? Also, if the debts do go into default and nothing is paid then after 6 years it all goes away? As the DCAs cannot do anything? I do want to start paying in like 3/4 months or do you advise I leave it if it goes into default? again sorry for all the questions, i am just processing everything

    • 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.

Hi, I sent my cpr response to cobbetts 3 weeks ago and haven't heard anything back from them or the court yet? Have I missed something?

 

However I have received another offer from the bank which incidentally is less than their previous offer which they made days after I commenced court proceedings. What are they playing at?

 

Do I just carry on waiting now???

 

Cheers

Keep waiting bb, and whilst you're doing so - have a really good read through all the different threads on here http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/welcome-our-forum/69359-cant-find-what-youre.html as this should contain everything you need to know about where your claim is right now. Good luck, hedgey xxx :p

You could always try ringing your local court to where your case has been transferred. Just ask them what the current status is and what you can expect next ?? The court office staff, although very busy are usually incredibly helpful and patient. I would give them a call and find out whats happening or whats the hold up (if any) ?? Best of luck, you will need lots of patience, the waiting seems never ending at times. Fendy xxxx

Spoke to the court yesterday and I was asked to keep patient as my file is with the district judge along with all the others awaiting a decision.

 

Another question.. The bank has previously made two different offers to me but stated that the money would be paid into my account. My account has since closed. How would it work if I accepted an offer now?

Getting a bit nervous now, I have phoned the court recently and been told to keep patient. Apparently the district judge has made a decision on all the bank charges cases but they are now trying to clear the backlog of paperwork to notify people of the outcome.

 

What's the probability that the judge has said no money for you son?!

 

Haven't heard a thing from the bank, court or bank's solicitor for ages

 

Thoughts appreciated

 

Cheers

Hi again mate, don't worry - the courts genuinely are backlogged with bank charges claimants. Which county court is it out of interest?

Phew! At least you've not got Judge Cooke in Birmingham! Seriously, don't worry - you've done everthing right so far. Sit back and wait for the court to give you further directions, and post back here when you do. Easy for me to say I know - but it's better than worrying yourself until you hear from the court. Best of luck - xx :)

Well I've had a letter from the court today but to be honest it just seems like i'm getting asked to provide the same details of my charges in every letter whoever it may be from. I have outlined these details right from the beginning and nothing has changed! Can anyone make any sense from this letter as I just feel I've waited 3 months for absolutely no progress.

That order is actually really good news for you (apart from the stay bit!) Basically, the judge has granted the draft order for directions that are recommended. There's absolutely no way whatsoever that cobbetts will comply with the above - they're not prepared to justify the charges.

 

He's also giving you and cobbetts the opportunity to settle this before the court date - and I'd say it's well worth contacting cobbetts to see if they're prepared to settle sooner rather than later. If they're not prepared to settle now, you need to comply with paragraph 2 (not a problem). But don't worry - it's really good news! x ;)

Also, it's worth having a look through this thread now http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloyds-bank/78216-aqs-stays-strike-out.html - it could be really useful in your 'negotiations' with cobbetts! ;)

Well finally got to speak to someone at Cobbetts.

 

I've been told that if I put it in writing to Cobbetts that I would like a full settlement before court action continues then they will put this to Natwest to make a decision...

 

...but now i'm wondering whether we have enough time as I need to comply with Paragraph 2 by the 28th July.

 

Maybe I should just comply with paragraph 2, what do you lot think?

 

Also could a mod please change the title of this thread to Bbventovr6 vs Natwest please?

OK then - do it this way. Send the negotiation letter to cobbetts asking them for full settlement prior to further action and attach, as directed by the court (put that bit in!) a copy of your schedule of charges showing each charge to which you're claiming repayment together with an explanation of the basis on which you're reclaiming the payment. That way, cobbetts get the letter - you comply with paragraph 2 - you send a copy of the letter/schedule/explanation to the court (covering letter - in compliance with.......... blah-di-blah)............. everyone's happy! ;)

How does this sound?

 

I am writing to you in compliance with the recent order served by Wellingborough County Court in connection to the charges applied to the above bank account.

 

I would like to state that I am of the opinion that they are unlawful and unfair. I believe that the charges are in no way proportionate to the banks costs.

 

As directed by the court I have attached a full schedule of the charges and interest with this document.

 

I would request that your client strongly considers payment in full before further court action.

Sounds good to me hun! With the last paragraph though, I'd be inclined to say "following on from our recent discussion when I contacted you to attempt settlement of my claim, I would like to request that your client considers settling this matter prior to court action taking place in order to reduce the burden on the court's limited public resources. Please contact me at the above address/number to discuss further." At least that way, you're showing that you've contacted them and tried to negotiate amicably! ;)

Right Natwest have not served their schedule in response to mine which should have been done by September 8th. I assume I am now entitled to enter judgement without further order.

 

Spoke to the court recently and they explained they have a backlog of paperwork to get through but I could enter judgement using the bottom half of one of the forms they have previously sent to me. I have checked through all the paperwork and cannot find anything like this. Should I draft up a letter or what else should I be doing?

 

Cheers

. I have checked through all the paperwork and cannot find anything like this. Should I draft up a letter or what else should I be doing?

 

The form they refer to will be N205A Notice Of Issue.

 

You can use the form here.

 

The requested resource (/HMCSCourtFinder/tiles/Her Majesty's Courts Service -Forms and Guidance) is not available

 

As you are now at this stage, i would not contact Cobbnitts or Nats anymore.

If you do, you will just be showing them your hand, and giving them the chance to defend.

Sit back and let the system work for you.

 

Good Luck

I Wish you everything you wish yourself.

 

NatWest Claimed £1,639. Accepted £1,344.

Natwest Paid me again as GOGW £1,656. Yes they can have it back if they say please.

Barclays 1 Claimed £1,260. Won by default. Paid in full

Barclays 2 Claimed £2,378. Won by default. Paid in full

Birmingham Midshires. Claimed £2,122. Accepted £2,075.
