    • 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.

Where there what you thought where security cameras & where you in Macdonalds if not how long had you been away for. Can you return & read the signs (if any) & let us know who their contractor is

 

Also what does the ticket claim to be, does it refer to a charge a penalty or even fine?

i didnt notice if there were any security cameras but on the letter i recieved it gives the exact times i was there from and to, they must not have checked the camera as they gave the complete wrong car details in the letter and sent them to the previous owner!!!

These claims are getting tougher and tougher, talk about dragging them out!!! :rolleyes:

I received a ticket last night for parking on yellow lines, however, there was no T-bar at the end of the lines, I believe this is unenforcable, but could do with some help with why this is.

 

Also my car was parked wholly on the pavement and not on the road at all does this make any difference?

 

Help!!!!!

I think you'll find if you read the ticket carefully you have been done for parking on the pavement & not yellow lines.

 

Unless there is specific permission to park on the footpath then even where there are no lines you can still get a tcket for doing so

 

Now if you want to know if your ticket is technicaly enforcable that's another matter. Describe what is says. Does it state "date of issue", "date of offence" etc

Ticket states parking contravention is parking in a restricted street during prescribed hours.

 

There is a date of issue but no date of contravention.

 

However if the offence is due to yellow lines the fact the t bar is missing would surely render the ticket void?

 

Does this help?

If there is no date of contravention then the ticket is void whether you were parked illegally or not.

 

I know, I know there's a lot of thread to read but the answers are all in here somewhere.

I only mouth my opinion, please look elsewhere for sensible advice! :)

have also checked out what the contravention was with manchester city council and they have said it is for parking on double yellows.

 

Ask to see a photo. If you were parked on the pavement, offence or not, then they have the wrong offence on the ticket and it's unenforceable - but as stated above if there is no date of contravention on it (Manchester ticket - are you sure?) then it's irrelevant anyway.

what about mine? can anythin be done about mine?

 

I'm correct in thinking that yours was a private CP.

 

Where there any warning signs as you entered the CP or placed throughout the CP

Where you using the facilities for which the CP was provided?

Double/Single Yellow Lines are enforceable from the centre of the road up to the building line including any footpaths or grass verges.

 

PCN's with only one date on are U/S

Hmmm, well nobody has told NPAS then because I won an appeal some time ago because my car was parked fully on the footpath and not on the road.

Not in Blackpool that's for sure! I can't remember exactly where it was to be honest but I don't think you're even allowed to breathe in Blackpool without a permit these days.

Haven't a clue what's going on here, they're spending money like water and desperately trying to find any way they can of getting the money in. Unless you actually know where to go I don't think you can legally park anywhere within a mile of the town centre for free, and they still can't figure out why town centre shopping is dying.

 

Take the Subway butty shop for example, they have had to scrap their service because they are not allowed to park outside the shop and since punters aren't either trade is now so bad that they are relocating to the shopping park/industrial area at Squires Gate on the edge of the town boundary. Absolutely potty. :rolleyes:

hmmm... just got another ticket. I thought there wasnt a yellow line until i saw two wardens standing there 4 minutes later. A few things bug me about this.

 

1. The line was barely visable.

2. I was gone 4 minutes and returned to find two of them writing the ticket.

3. The warden tried to place the ticket on my bike but i think i threw it off before the other one had time to take a picture. the ****ers were laughing and joking chwcking out their snaps while i drove away.

 

what are my chances of appeal?

It all depends how "barely visible" the lines were, if they were indeed very worn so that they could easily be missed of if they were broken then the ticket should not have been issued. Take a pic yourself of ther lines

 

Also if the ticket wasn't on your bike and they have no proof of this (but you need to be sure) and wasn't handed to you then again it is invalid. You would of course have to claim you know nothing about it when you get the notice to owner.

Hi Bartonski,

 

Look back in this thread to posts 6 to 21, you should find the allowable sizes for yellow lines together with tolerances & references for the info given.

 

& dont forget the t bars at each end .....the line/s between the t bars must be unbroken, to the permitted size (with permitted variation/tolerance) and have the correct size t bar at each end.....most of the time it is just the t bars which do not extend far enough towards the pavement at least here on Anglesey.

 

hope it helps you,

JonCris,

 

"Received from guess who Pam Speed. Repeats previous statement "Abbey not required 6 years" etc. but goes onto to say " I will however contact retrievals & see if the hold any transactional details" Await further response

2nd August Good Grief! Have received my(in their words) "requested archived microfiche movements covering (pre 6 years) "

 

Do i understand this correctly? Did you manage to get your pre 6 years record of transactions?

 

If so, that is great, can you give me the contact details for Pam Speed (i assume she is an Abbey employee)?

 

Thank you
