    • 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.

Hi thank you for coming back to me is this the extra wording

 

On the letter you sent on 15th December 2009 you stated you will start reporting against my credit file within 30 days of this letter. May I remind you I have never given your company my permission to process my personal information. Any adverse information you add to my credit file will be deemed as defamatory, as well as a breach of the Data Protection Act, and will be dealt with accordingly."

Afternoon people,

 

Right, we have an update to my recent CCA request to DLC.

 

This comes from Hillesden Securities, and not DLC who I CCA`d.

 

I don`t have my scanner up yet, so I`ll type it out.

 

It goes -

 

 

 

Account Number xxxxxxxxxxxx - Formerly Home Retail Group Card Services Ltd - xxxxxxxx

Thank you for you letter dated 19 January 2010 regarding the above account. I can confirm and advise the following :-

I acknowledge receipt of your payment of £1 in connection with your data request under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

We are still awaiting a copy of your payment original agreement and statement of account from our client. When these become available they will be forwarded to you. If we are unable to forward a copy of the original agreement, we will be able to supply a true copy of the document which will comply with Section 77-79 of The Consumer Credit Act 1974.

In the meantime please provide us with full details of the dispute to enable us to liase with our client in an attempt to resolve this matter.

We have update our records to show your current address as advised.

We would like to draw your attention to the recent ruling in the case of McGuffick V RBS judgement dated 6 October 2009 in relation to "what is considered enforcement"; the judgment stated that the bringing of proceedings is not enforcement. It follows that demanding payment is a step taken prior to the commencement of proceedings and therefore not considered enforcement.

Whilst we may not be able to enforce the agreement until the documentation is provided, the monies remain outstanding and the underlying obligation to repay remains intact.

In view of the above judgment the account will remain with our collections department for collections activity to continue.

So far as your Section 10 request under the Data Protection Act is concerned, we are working under the guidance issude by the Information Commissioners office on `Filing Defaults with Credit Reference Agencies` (issued on 2 August 2007 - copy enclosed). This is intended to ensure accurate and fair reflection of default information, and allow credit grantors in the closed user group to which such data is supplied to make responsible lending decisions. Debt buyers can continue this notification process if debt sellers remove their register entries.

Because we feel beleive the credit agreement in this matter is enforceable, and you are the party to the agreement, we feel we are able to continue collections activity and maintain an accurate record on your default at the Credit Reference Agencies.

Should you require anything further at this point please contact me accordingly. I will update you on developments in 21 days if there are are no developments beforehand.

Yours sincerley

B. End

Director & Data Controller.

 

 

 

Now, I was wondering. Just exactly who are their clients if they are supposed to now own this alleged debt?

 

They are waiting for the agreement, because they don`t have one yet. So how the hell do they know it`s enforceable? Are they going to knock one up to taste?

 

Anyways, any comments welcome.

 

Cioa for now.

Got a feeling I'll be getting one of these soon. Any ideas for a suitable reply, then we can put all the good bits all in one letter.

 

DLC are already over the 12+2 time limit with mine, so I might fire off a sarcastic reminder for the fun of it.

Looks like DLC and a few other DCA's are starting to try to deter people from fighting them by citing cases that would appear to imply they, (the DCA's) are justified in their action and therefore unbeatable. I'm not buying it!

 

I have no doubt that CAGgers will come up with letter templates to blow their latest bullschmidt out of the water!

 

In the meantime, if all you ask for is a CCA then it seems pretty obvious that if they had one they wouldn't hesitate to produce one...it would take a lot less effort that writing a long rambling letter that effectively says they don't have one but may have a cunning plan to scare you into the belief that they don't actually need one...for heavens sake...they are dillusional.

Hi fuzzy and Help48,

 

Looks like I`ll just have to see what they com eup with on this one.

 

If it`s the same as the CCA Argos sent, then it looks like a fake as there is no reference to Argos or the account number at all on the agreement. There is also no reference to accounts on the bottom, where the Direct Debit mandate is.

 

Keep watching people.

There are 2 sentences that can answer the following.............

 

We would like to draw your attention to the recent ruling in the case of McGuffick V RBS judgement dated 6 October 2009 in relation to "what is considered enforcement"; the judgment stated that the bringing of proceedings is not enforcement. It follows that demanding payment is a step taken prior to the commencement of proceedings and therefore not considered enforcement.

In view of the above judgment the account will remain with our collections department for collections activity to continue.

Those sentences are.......... If you have an enforceable CCA. Take me to court if you want payment. Until then I will ignore your demands for money and threats of litigation.

On the day DLC's time to provide my CCA request (12+2 days) expired they sent me a letter.

 

Basically saying.......

 

We are awaiting a copy of your agreement from Argos. When this becomes available it will be forwarded to you. (yeah right)

 

If we are unable to forward a copy of the original agreement, we will supply a true copy of the document which will comply with section 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. (in other words we will photoshop something and try to con you into thinking it's genuine.)

 

I have news for them. The signature they have on my CCA request letter is not mine, but a photoshopped font made to look like a proper signature. Can't wait to see it appear on a "true copy" and then have them try and say it's a copy of the original CCA. :p:p:p

 

I love the smell of attempted fraud and deception in the mornings.

Hi fuzzy,

 

So, it sounds like you received the same letter as I have?

 

I never actually signed mine, I just typed my name.

 

Like you say, it will be interesting to see what they actually come back with.

 

They will probably have a copy of my agreement, as Argos sent me a copy, but I think it`s a microfiche, but it doesn`t look right. I think it`s a knock up.

 

So, we shall wait and see. They do seem pretty persistent, but if they have purchased these accounts they probably will be.

 

Catch you late bud!

I'm really hoping they stick my photoshopped sig onto an new copy of an argos agreement. If they do, I'll have some real fun with them. ;)

 

Nobody has ever come up with anything regarding a signed credit agreement with me in almost 3 years and 6 CCA requests, one being to Argos themselves.

 

In reality they'll probably close their "file" and sell it on to Mukky Hall or some other low life who tries to profit from unenforceable debt.

 

But one day one of them will eventually slip up, and I'll be waiting with a baited and extra carefully sharpened trap. :D

Still waiting for DLC to admit they have no agreement. They have sent a letter this morning offering to close the account if I pay them approx 20% of the so called outstanding amount. They also said they would amend my credit file to improve my chances of getting credit in the future. lol :p

 

Time to get the big guns out, and test their knowledge on the data protection act and CCA 1974.

 

Let's see how they like the threat of legal action for processing my personal data, without any paperwork that says I gave them permission to do so. And asking for money without any paperwork that says I owe them anything. :D

Hi fuzzy,

 

Glad to hear your on top of things still.

 

You know, I was just thinking if anyone has heard anything back from these cranks because it has been all quiet on my end also.

 

I haven`t received anything yet, but no doubt I will sometime.

 

Keep us posted dude, and may the force be with you, always :D

 

Catch you later

Evening gang members,

 

I have an update. This morning I received a letter similar to Fuzzybobble`s offering a substantial discount to close the account.

 

The alleged debt is balanced at £2600 odd, and they offer me £672 to close the account. That is quite a saving.

 

They have failed to supply an agreement, so I`m not sure if I`m going to respond to this. I may write and thank them for their offer of £672, but that would be insufficient to cover the mis-sold PPI on the account :D

 

Or, I could write and ask if this special offer comes with a free Sky HD box.

 

Any idea`s people?

Evening boys and girls,

 

I had another update at the weekend which I forgot to mention here.

 

Hillesden sent me a dodgy copy of the CCA. It actually landed the day after I received the letter from DLC.

 

It is still the same unreadable, dodgy copy which is shown throughout this thread.

 

Anyone think I should actually respond to it, or wait to see what lands next? There is still the question of the PPI. I could defend on that, afterall, anyone could have ticked that box at any time.

 

Also, if Argos have actually sold this account on, should they still be processing my data? Afterall, they are sending information back to Hillesden whenever they require. I would have thought once they sell the account on, they no longer have any right to process the data.

 

Any thoughts people?

Had a letter from Hillesdens myself, but mine said they are awaiting the documents from Argos and they will forward them to me as soon as they are available. :rolleyes: (not a hope in hell lol)

 

They said they would update me within 21 days if there are no further developments. (Like not being able to produce anything?) :D

 

On monday I'll be firing the account in dispute letter to Hillesdens.

 

If they have no paperwork that includes in the T&C's that mentions data processing under the DPA, then they shouldn't be using your personal info. Neither Argos or DLC/Hillesdens. Also check your credit file, as I know Hillesdens have updated a default on mine. Without any paperwork, they shouldn't be doing that either.

 

I'll be putting a letter together in a formal complaint to both Argos and Hillesdens mentioning this and quotes from the DPA and case law, and ask them to explain themselves and make me an offer of compensation.

All sounds VERY similar to my current confusing correspondence from DLC/Hillesden. The one thing I did notice though was the fact that Hillesden now say they are going to send a copy of the "original" documentation, rather than their previous stance of sending me anything THEY considered sufficient! Looks like they've realised that they have more chance of plaiting fog then finding an "original" document ...bless 'em. You really have to laugh at this bunch of idiots!

Hi guys,

 

I haven`t been on here for quite some time, as I have basically just been ignoring all these idiots.

 

It seems they just past it around all the time now.

 

I have been wondering laterly though - would it be possible to chase the PPI on this Argos Card?

 

The card is maxxed out and has been in dispute due to the added PPI which was around £100+ per month.

 

I have been chased off every DCA under the sun on the card and it has now been sold on to a DCA who has been quiet for some time.

 

If I chase up the PPI on this card, would that be an admission of liability on this card? Would they then be able to chase me up for this?

 

Who actually would I chase up? Argos or the DCA?

 

If I chase Argos up, would that then make it easier for the DCA to chase me up?

 

I look forward to hearing from you guys on this.

 

Thanks

Hi NP

Only my opinion
