    • 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.

I did not really do more than a normal POC. I done something similar to this.

 

On XX XX 2008 Claimant started to recieve phone calls and texts messages to claimants Mobile number of XXXX from C1 regarding a disputed debt.

On XX XX 2008, same date, Claimant verbally requested they do not call her further as she will not communicate with them in any form other than writing.

Claimant continued to recieve calls and texts from XXXXX number and XXXX number that are owned by C1 and comfirmed by the C1 operative and by BT despite verbally asking for the calls to stop.

On XXX i sent C1 a telephone harrassement letter giving them 7 days to stop the calls. Rm have confirmed they recieved this letter on XXX.

On XX C1 started texting my Mobile asking that i make contact with them by telephone but the calls stopped.

On XXX C1 started to telephone me again. Despite reminding them they had recieved a telephone harrassement letter and re asking C1 to only communicate with me in writing C1 have denied recieving the letter and refused to stop the calls.

On XXXX i send a second reminder regarding the telephone harrassement and reminding them text messages were also included in the harrassement. I gave them a further 7 days.

On XXX i recieved further texts and on XXX i recieved another call from C1 and again advised them they had had 2 telephone harrassement letters and had been verbally asked to stop calling me. The C1 operative advised me that they were not familiar with English law as they were in India and she was sent a sheet of numbers to call she was sorry for the call and would make her manager aware.

2.5 hours later her English manager called me back and advised they DONT have to comply with telephone harrassement letters as they dont contain any real laws.

On XXX i sent C1 a LBA regarding the telephone harrassement and c1 signed for this letter on XXX. I gave them 7 days to comply.

On XXX i continued to recieve calls and texts from C1 and to this day they have continued to call me.

 

Asked for £300.00 plus other costs to be deturmind by the court.

 

Enclosed the letters and proffs of signature and posting with them and despite being issued with court papers they continued to call till i went psycho on the caller on a bus and trust me the whole bus got chapter and verse on telephone harrassement the cca and the law.

 

I was asked by the driver where i got my info :)

Good news. Can you post a link to the ruling? This would be handy for me to quote.

 

 

will dig out the adjudicators ruling and final wordings.. actually they do not say much - nothing really hard hitting - more opinionated to be honest. More details somewhere in my threads from a while back. Will try to remember to find link.

OK here's Ombudsman's comments (the adjudicator also said some things before Capital One disagreed)..

 

'I have considered the available evidence and arguments from the outset, in order to decide what is fair and reasonable in the individual circumstances of this complaint.

 

Much has been said by both parties about the reasons for (ME)'s request for phone contact to be stopped, and why Capital one declined to do so. But the simple fact is that (ME) was entitled to make that request, and Capital One should reasonably have complied with it. Because it did not do so, I share the adjudicator's view that (Me!) is entitles to be compensated for the resultant distress and inconvenience. The adjudicator assessed appropriate compensation at #250 (# = pound sign!! as my keyboard is weird), and I agree with that. I also consider that this sum should be cerdited to (MINE)'s account, to reduce the outstanding debt.'

 

and that is it basically on the phone calls issue.

that is why i use my own version of the no phone calls letter- to give a VALID reason (other than the debt itself) why they should not call.

 

here it is if anyone wants to use it

 

Re Your Ref AccountXXXXXXXXXXXXx

 

I am anxious to resolve matters with regard to the above matter. You are not assisting in this respect by harassing me and causing unnecessary stress. .

 

Please stop making telephone calls to me. This includes my home and work landlines and/or my home or work mobile telephone numbers . It is very distressing , harassing and annoying to continually have to get up and monitor the telephone and filter out unwanted calls..

 

I Will not under any circumstances discuss this matter verbally over the telephone or in person.

 

Cognisant of the ever increasing threat of identity fraud and theft of personal financial information and data, it has been our family policy , for quite some time now, in dealing with all our bank , service and other financial providers that we never give personal security information or a part thereof to inbound telephone callers , nor do we discuss financial matters verbally.

 

The above policies also apply to personal uninvited callers to our home and for this reason I would also ask you to note that I would never agree at any time for you, your agents or representatives to call personally at my home nor would I ever discuss this matter with an uninvited personal caller, therefore please do not ask to make any such appointment. or use “threats” of personal calls to my home..

 

In light of the above it therefore follows , given that any further calls by telephone or personal uninvited call from you, your agents or representatives would never “get past” confirmation of identity nor would any “security “ information be disclosed , any further attempts by you to contact me in this way can only be seen (by a right thinking person) as an attempt to continue to cause further harassment and distress.

 

It may be the case that you were unaware of the reasons why I will not accept telephone calls and/or personal callers, however now that you are fully aware of the reasons , if you continue to ignore my request it will be at risk of formal complaints and possible legal proceedings and claims for damages.

 

 

 

 

- 2 -

 

 

It is also our family policy, in respect of dealings with bank , service providers and other financial providers to insist that ALL communications are in writing in order to avoid any dispute as to what may or may not have been said or done and to provide an audit trail of events. This can only be to our mutual benefit.

 

Whilst I appreciate that this is a very formal way of contact it does in fact allow the matter to be dealt with in a more efficient and businesslike manner..

 

I undertake to respond to written communication (excluding letters asking me to call you on the telephone or to make appointments or “threaten” personal calls to my home) normally within 7 days and certainly no longer than 14 days of receipt.

 

As a consequence of the foregoing you may therefore assume that any written communication from you which is not responded to by me within 14 days is likely to have not reached me and you may wish to re send the document- particularly if it is considered to be an important one.

 

May I also remind you that as holders of a licence to operate under the Consumer Credit Act it is your responsibility to be aware of and act within the rules of the CCA and OFT rules and guidelines and it is not for me to have to quote the legislation to you

 

 

I trust I have made my position clear and that we can now try to resolve this matter more amicably and efficiently .

 

 

Yours sincerely

Update.

 

Beginning to wonder if I am barking into the wind on this. My brief passed all my info onto their criminal law fella...... who has done nothing with it all other than acknowledge read receipts. I got the impression he does not want to touch this, possibly for the simple fact that he feel no empathy with me on the subject. I have told him I will try elsehwere.

 

A criminal lawyer, truning down a case? Odd.

Unfortuneately, my lot don't stipulate dates. Incidentally, I tried this with BT earlier this year, when I stayed in all day awaiting delivery of their wireless hub and B'band changeover. I was without email all day ( I am self employed) and hit them with my daily rate. They ignmored it for three months and finally called me to say that they wouldn't pay it cos I wasn't a 'business account'!!

 

Plebs.

According to the consumer credit act if you have debt with a company and you have not met your contractual payment that month or have previous arrears they can call you as many times as they want so long as they only leave 2 answering machine messages. If they send you a letter they have to wait something like 2-3 working days after sending it to call again. But at the end of the day if someone owed me money personally I wouldn't stop calling until I had the money in my back pocket
