    • 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.

Hello everyone! :)

 

I am part way through my claim with Citi and thought I would pick your collective brains about what happens next, and what Citi are likely to do.

 

I started the process back in March but I didn't file my N1 until June. My claim is for a total of £1176.75. Citi have acknowledged the claim and I have received their defence.

 

Para 6 states;

 

The Defendant admits that, during the life of the acount, the Claimant breached the contract on 32 seperate occasions and that £775, not £873 as pleaded, was debited to the Claimant's account by way of late payment and overlimit fees, as per the Terms & Conditions of the Agreement.

 

I have been through all my statements and my figures are right. What, if anything, do I do about this? Also, they have paid back £403 (the difference between the £12 they say is fair and the £25 I was charged) into my account without my knowledge. Do I have to let the court know about this?

 

Para 10 states;

 

The Defendant avers that the Claimant's claim is not a money claim but a damages action and further avers that the Claimant's interest calculation is not applicable to this action or, if it is aplicable, that is is wrong and the Defendant puts the Claimant to froof that this interest is owed.

 

Can someone translate into English for me??:???:

 

Any help that you can give me would be greatley appreciated.

You'll find that the defendant routinely will say that they owe you more or less than the amount of your claim - normally it's £50 one way or another.

 

Though obviously triple check your figures and make sure they are correct.

 

It's happened on at least 10 occasions that I am aware of to different claimants - so it's a tactic which some would argue is used to confuse claimants as much as possible.

 

Paragraph 10, it's the same as the one I received in October 2006. And think that its a standard cut and paste response that they send out to people.

 

If you still have a balance with Citi, don't worry their own terms & conditions refute paragraph 10.... but then again some would say those weren't referred to in compiling the defence documents.

Thanks for that Enron,

 

I decided to join this site as there seems to be more people on here experienced in taking Citi on.

 

I must admit that I am a little nervous about the whole thing. Abbey were a pushover compared to this lot! But I won't give up!

 

There is another letter waiting for me at the delivery office. I think this will be from Citi as I'm not expecting a recorded A4 letter from anyone else!

 

I will keep you all up to date with developments.

If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.

 

Citi have alot of weaknesses in the defences they are mounting, which I highlighted at my hearing this past week.

 

When you get to the stage of filing in the Allocation Questionnaire let me know, as I will have something for you to help get the draft order adopted.

Sorry, I strongly believe that putting lettuce and tomato with bacon is a moral outrage!!!:shock:

 

The only thing to put with bacon is a fried egg or sausages, or both!!:razz:

 

Enron,

 

Thanks for the info you sent me. Plenty of ammunition there! My AQ is all filled out and ready for posting.

 

I will keep you all up to date with any developments.

Hello!

 

Just got the AQ back from Citi. It looks like Brian Smith has died from shame as this one came back from Eversheds in Cardiff!

 

Strangely enough, they didn't ask for the hearing to be moved to Salford so that saves a bit more letter writing to stop that happening.

 

I'll just sit back and wait for my day in court now as I doubt Citi will be on the phone wanting to settle!!

 

Watch this space!!

Hello!

 

OK, got the letter from the court today saying that the claim would be stayed until the OFT case is sorted out.

 

I have a letter already typed out and ready to send to the court basically to stick the stay up where the sun don't shine cos I'm in a fighting mood.

 

I have noticed on the AQ from Eversheds that they are calling a witness. Anyone know who that may be? or will it be a witness statement?

 

Ta!!

Eversheds, is this a legal company representing Citi Cards?

And is the witness named?

 

If its their director of finance, or accountant we'd have some very interesting questions for them if they did turn up.

 

From memory I think that earlier Citi AQ's had one witness in the documentation - allowing them the capacity to bring someone along if they wanted.

Hi folks,

 

Yes, it was our good mate Bazza Smiff who sent the defence and the AQ came back from Eversheds solicitors in Cardiff.

 

The witness is not named on the AQ and both the covering letter and the AQ itself is just signed "Eversheds LLP". However, I have an email for Claire Pleece on the back of the AQ so not sure who actually typed it.

 

I'll be sending my request for the automatic stay to be lifted tomorrow as my case has nothing to do with the OFT case against the banks. Actually, does anyone know if I would have to send a copy of this request to Citi/Eversheds?

 

I'll keep you all up to date with any developments.

Dont let them scare you - theyre 'good case' is probably theyre 'citi v potter' one - the one and only that they keep waving . The one thing I would advise - as I had seen on here so m any times - be PREPARED - get your file in order - have answers ready if asked - the judge went through all of our papers int he file - and it was only a set aside hearing.- but he did remark on us having a lot more case notes to look at than citi - they only had there potter case! - so go looking as though you mean business - with all your paperwork in a big file!:)

Carol,

 

Relax and as Megan said, be prepared.

 

Try and figure out what you want to say and write it down. Make bulletin points for every point you want to get over to the judge. Don't babble on at 1000 words per minute as you'll only get yourself lost and wind up the judge.

 

In most cases I have read, the judge will help you as much as they can as they appreciate that this will be your first visit to a courtroom. The barrister for Citi can sod off! They do this kind of thing for a living.

 

By the way, Citi don't have a good case. They don't have a case at all. The law, and everyone on here is on your side.

 

Good luck

Hello folks,

 

No news yet on my appeal against the stay being put on my claim but thought I'd let you all know that I haven't given up!

 

Had to send the appeal off again as the court hadn't received it. I sent the second one recorded so I'm waiting again.

 

I'll keep you up to date with any developments.
