    • 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 CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??

    • 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.

It seems our friends at Halifax have been sending all claimants a letter. This includes:

 

All cases will have an applicatation made to the court for a stay until the result of the case is revealed. This is what the OFT will expressively agree to.

If you have received an interim payment you need to let them know whether you agree or disagree with that amount.

Your case will be placed on file and dealt with once the outcome is known and they will contact you.

 

Please please do not do anything (agree or disagree) with the amount until we have seen a full copy of the letter and investigate what you are agreeing (or not as the case may be) to.

 

If anyone has the full copy please copy it onto here.

I have received one today and will try to scan tomorrow. Can you PM a fax number please in case I can't work out how to post a scan.

 

The letter does however, have a third option, although it does not call it that. It says if they do not hear from you within 2 months, they will assume you have rejected the offer.

 

It also says that claimants in Scotland can continue to make claims to FOS, believe it or not. (I assume they are wrong in this??!!).

 

They make no reference to hardship cases.

 

They say there are no more charges which I can reclaim. (That is a falsehood. There are charges in my banking history with them which I have still to claim.

 

They make reference to 5 years of recharge claims, when they have currently paid 6 years worth.

 

They are not putting themselves in a favourable position, once this misinformation is presented:o .

There is only one page of the letter showing on the link, will have to edit link if Macboy can work his magic!:D

Lynn,

on page 2 of your letter, does it mention that people in Scotland can continue to pursue their complaint with FOS.

(I do have a feeling they are incorrect to say that! So noone depend on it just now)

Thanks Lynn

 

Yours was from the Halifax though?

 

Mine is from BoS............

 

Plus, they know I'm somewhere up north. Perhaps that explains it.

 

left hand and right hand.

 

There are obviously different versions within HBOS. Again, demonstrates consistency in approach- not!

Kelvin I think everyone will have recieved the same leter just cut and pasted with your personal details (manual intervention at its best :rolleyes: )

 

I have not had feedback on the contents as yet, however you can always accept an amount in partial settlement. They cannot tell you that this is your lot and you wont get any more because if the court states they are unfair, they are ALL unfair and ALL charges will be returned or they will not be complying with the courts decisions.

 

I would suggest something like this:

 

Dear Sir Madam

In response to your letter dated XX/XX/XXXX i am accepting the amount in part settlement. I will then await the resolution of the test case and on that decision will decide whether I am able to claim the remainder.

 

I am aware the FOS has stated you do not have to settle any claim before the hearing and result, however I must also remind you it will be the courts decison on whether I am able to claim the amount outstanding from this claim. If you decide from this letter not to pay the "goodwill gesture" then let me remind you the whole amount will continue to increase on a daily basis following the County Court Act 8%.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Mr and Mrs Blah Blah

 

Kelvin if you have till 11th to recieve payment or judgment will be made then I think the chances are you may get the money. It will depend on how they are feeling.

I have filed mine with MCOL and the Halifax have acknowledged the claim. They now have until the 11th August (28 day deadline) to respond with a defence. So far, I have heard nothing.

 

I am curious though. I know this pending court case with the bank charges is looming, but it is regarding overdraft charges or just bank charges as a whole, because none of charges are to do with an overdraft because Halifax won't let me have one, even though I have a substantial amount of money going in every month (myself and my other half wages combined).

Abbey - £539 pending - !!!WON!!!

Halifax - £676 pending - stayed at court

2nd Claim with Halifax - £168 pending

Lloyds TSB - £780 (sisters) !!!WON!!! - Filed waste of costs order (on hold)

Barclays - Barclays filed crap defense - on hold

 

AND THE BANKS ARE STILL CHARGING!!!!!!!

 

How very dare you!!

I would imagine you will receive an applicaton for a stay on behalf of the bank. this is likely to be accepted but dont let it stop you.

The case is regarding charges as a whole not just on overdrafts.

Hi Mrs Foot

 

As I mentioned earlier, there are at least 2 versions.

I have one which is different from Lynns. Mine is from BoS, Lynns is from Halifax.

Whilst the main elements are the same ie to complete a form, not complete it or do nothing, mine has the added comment that as I live in Scotland, I can continue my claim with the FOS. I must admit however, that I think BoS are wrong in what they are telling me.

 

Comments?

My letter says that I can go to the FOS but they will not determine the complaint until the test case is concluded.

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

Stornoway- hi, how are you? Well I hope!

 

Mine says (and it is from BoS, not Halifax, I live in Scotland.)

 

"The FSA requires us to ensure that any bank charge complaint will not be adversely affected by the delay in dealing with it. For customers for whom Scotland id the most likely jurisdiction, your right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service will not be affected. The FOS provides a convenient alternative to the courts and is free for consumers. However, if you nonetheless wish to continue your claim through the courts in Scotland, you may wish to seek advice on making a claim now to protect your rights in prescription although you will have to pay a fee"

 

Anyone else got this. Are they inviting me to go to FOS?

The letter from the Halifax is word for word the same as the one they've sent out from Nationwide. There's a copy of it on the Nationwide thread.

What a coinidence that all the banks, by the looks of it ,are sending out the same letter :???:

I'm well Kenny but disappointed to see the Gers result tonite.

 

I'm in Scotland but letter is lightly different as below. If I were you then I'd be very interested in the FOS route. Personally, I lodged mine with the FOS 2 weeks before the test case was announced so it will be interesting to see how it pans out.

"The FSA requires us to ensure that any bank charge complaint will not be adversely affected by the delay in dealing with it. Customers for whom Scotland is the most likely jurisdiction, should be aware of the following;

- you may choose to take your complaint to the FOS or the courts in Scotland

- your right to refer your complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service will not be affected. The FOS provides a convenient alternative to the courts and is free for consumers. However, as already explained the FOS has at our request decided not to determine these cases for the time being until the test case is resolved

- However if you nonetheless wish to continue your claim through the courts in Scotland, you may wish to seek advice on making a claim now to protect your rights in prescription although you will have to pay a fee. You should be aware that if you do this the bank will immediately apply to the court to have put the case put on hold"

All comments are my personal views - if in doubt then seek professional advice. If you think i've helped then please tip my scales.

Has anyone seen this

 

(14) if the firm attempts to resolve a relevant charges complaint after the date of this direction (other than those described in condition 12(4)):

 

(a) the firm must not seek agreement from the complainant that the resolution is in full and final settlement of the matter;

 

(b) in relation to such complaints, if the outcome of the test case produces a result that is more favourable to the complainant, the firm must take all reasonable steps to pay any difference in the amount of compensation actually received by the complainant and that that the complainant would have been entitled if his claim has not been settled by the firm then; and

 

© the firm must explain the implications of its approach and commitment;
