    • 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.

Neither of them work, she has 2 children from a previous relationship and is 5 months pregnant with the current Partner.

 

As for the dogs, Neighbours in my block all know these dogs have been here for some time, there used to be 5 of them running around!

 

I never thought just finding out a simple piece of info would be so difficult!!

what I was hinting at was if they are been a pain in the you know what then grass them up to the council for council tax evasion. This does have up and down sides - it will annoy them and put further strain on what is already a bad relationship, reduce their cash so may reduce ability to pay you but hey they get a bit of comupance - maybe do it after you get paid.

Good point. I am going to try one last time this afternoon and ask for his name. I will be taking all the Paperwork (copies!!) with me that I've received from the vets to give to them.

 

Unfortunately for them if they don't start paying and it goes through the small claims court, I will also be adding on all the check ups Rosie has had, one yesterday £10 + cab fare there and back. She has to go back tomorrow again, so another £10 + cab fare and more painkillers (however much they are)

Ok, I have had to post through the letter box the copies of invoices etc as nobody in. I also included a polite note stating that the enclosed were invoices and breakdown of charges from the vets.

 

I have said that I am willing to accept payment in instalments but would give him until Sunday 29th to come and see me so we can discuss options.

 

So will wait now until Sunday, if I don't hear anything from him, I'll be knocking on his door on Monday!:mad:

Go for it - but please have a friend with you. If he's the sort of person I think he is, he may not be able to have a calm and intelligent conversation with you. You could slip in a "Oh, btw, we've never properly met, have we? I'm [given name] [surname], you are?" You may get him to give you his full name if you catch him off guard.

You could get his car reg number and using and HPI check you may be able to get the registered details....(not sure how legal this is of course)

I might know of someone who can do an HPI for you(again not sure if it is legal or not)

If i was you i would start against her and in the paperwork include a detail that if you are not the owner of the said anaimals then please supply full details of the dogs owner that are very obviously staying in your house etc etc, and details as to why they are allowed to roam free, i doubt they will be smart enough to get out of it.

Good Luck

Long time ago in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY, there lived an elf who shot banks for a living.........

Now through the power of the internet there is the CONSUMER ACTION GROUP,

 

Watch out they are getting crafty those pesky CRITTERS!

 

Banks will tell you their charges are transparent!

So is the invisible man but that does not mean he is fair or lawful.

 

DONT GIVE UP! FOLLOW THE CAG ADVICE AND RECLAIM YOUR CHARGES.

CAPITAL BANK! YOU ARE NEXT.

Thanks demon - my sister said the same (she knows I won't let this go!)

 

I have spoken to him a few times, and I admit he has always been civil and not once raised his voice or shown any anger. But will give the 'introduction' idea a go!!

The DVLA WILL give out the name of the registered keeper for a fee - assuming you draw a blank with the Electoral Register. You need to state that you require the driver details due to an 'insurable event on private property' and you require the keeper's details.

Can I make another suggestion? It may be worth investing in a small and cheap dictaphone or similar - if you do end up meeting face to face, it would be very easy for you to agree something and him claim at a later stage you're making it up. Better to be safe rather than sorry.

Good point bispers - i could use my mobile to record the convo couldn't I? As you imagine money is very very tight at the moment so I would rather not have to buy something if I can at all avoid it!

Yep - been known to use mobiles as dictaphones in our house for (work related) interviews.

 

I don't believe you have to tell the other person you're recording them, either - he's more likely to speak freely without knowing you're recording him I expect.

Just to point out; a sworn witness statement is every bit as compelling as evidence as a recording of the conversation - in Law. Obviously if a sworn-in witness is found to have falsified their statement they are in contempt of court and may have committed perjury - and therefore their testimony is assumed to be accurate and truthful until proven otherwise. A recording is accepted at face value also and is therefore no "better".

However, if the sworn statement diverges from the recording, the latter is not only considerably 'better' it also discredits the witnesses version of events. Therefore should a transcription of a recording be offered in evidence it often prevents the situation previously described.

I understand what you are saying tomterm8 and it had crossed my mind to leave it alone, however, if I had smashed his car up with a sledge hammer, do you think he would allow me to walk away and not pay a penny?

 

Sorry, but I am feeling even more emotional now as our cat took a turn for the worse yesterday and may need more surgery which I cannot afford. I have to take her back to the Vet again on Tuesday.

 

How can I let this man get away with this? I know I may not get any money from him, but I don't want him to think I am a pushover and will just let it lie.

I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who has helped me with advice and tips. I now have the guy's name and address ;)

 

My cat took a turn for the worse at the weekend and will need another operation, I will wait now until she is stronger, but I have the court papers to file a small claims. Obviously the guy never got back to me after I posted the invoices etc, so once Rosie is out of the woods, I'll send him a letter before action of court proceedings.

 

So once again, thank you very very much to each and everyone of you!:D

Thanks for your help guys.

 

I have the girls name (nice Postman!) but it's the man's details that I don't have. She is listed on the Electoral roll, but as a single occupier, noone else is listed.

If you wanted to be really spiteful you could speak to the council & state there are 2 people living there - I bet she's claiming the 25% single person discount for council tax which is why he isn't listed...:D

I could, but since the incident he hasn't been there much, maybe there every other day. He isn't even listed on the 'other' address I have for him!

hmm it may be worth checking out whether he goes to that other address at all. Also as I mentioned earlier I wouldn't muddy the water with anything like the council tax issue or maybe that his car is reg'd at the wrong address till you get your money - any other outgoings may affect this. So best to hold off till after all your bills are paid.

Ok, just a quick update.

 

I asked the guy to get back to me with a proposal of payment by Sunday 29 April, no surprise but nothing!

 

I need to hold off a little while as our cat is still undergoing treatment and needs another operation next week, so I want to wait before filing a small claim so I can get the amount to claim correct.

 

I am more determind than ever to make this guy pay now. Yesterday I had the window open that looks out into the back garden (cat is shut in a spare room whilst she recovers!!) I was in the kitchen at the front of the house, my Son comes running in telling me the 'dog is trying to get in!'.

 

One of the Staffs was in the garden again on her own and unsupervised jumping up at our open window, my thinking is that she could smell the cat and even though I washed that area down after the attack, the dog must be able to smell something.

 

My Son (8yrs) was in hysterics as he saw the attack and now thinks the dogs are going to get him. I was going to go and talk to the guy yesterday but my Son didn't want me to go so I stayed put.

 

I am going to call the Dog Warden again today, but do you think I should call the Police?. I don't want this Dog jumping up at our window and scaring my Son, I also don't want to keep my windows shut all the time!

If the dog is acting aggressively around you and your son, den, then you have every right to call the police. "The dog is trying to get through the window, the owner's nowhere in sight, it attacked your cat last week and now you think it's going after your son, and it's a fighting breed." Should get someone out :)
