    • 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.

Hi All,

 

After reading a thread by Louisk successfully taking Kensington mortgage company to court I'm thinking of doing the same with GMAC our old mortgage company. We re-mortgaged with them in 2003 because of our poor credit rating this was the only mortgage we could get (or so they led us to believe)It was fine for the first year the interest was around 7%. It was a low start one that went up after the first year. So in 2004 it went up to around 8% and the re-payments went up about £100.00 per month and it wasn't a fixed mortgage so every time the interest rate went up so did our repayments sometimes this was about 4 times a year. We started to fall behind on the repayments but each time making an arrangement to pay back the arrears. GMAC were charging us £50.00 per month as the account was more than one month in arrears. We also received court summons on 2 separate occasions, both times it was GMACS fault we got these. The first time I was called at work and told a letter was about to be sent and I should pay to stop the letter, I asked how much she said whatever you can afford. I paid them £10.00, but they still issued us with court summons I called them and I was told we should never have received them. When I checked our mortgage statement I saw we had been charged approx £600.00 for solicitors and court fees even though it had never actually gone to court. A similar thing happened again about a year later. We got further into arrears again I phoned to make an arrangement the lady I spoke to asked if we could pay an extra £100.00 off the arrears (I had already offered £125.00 per month but needed to pay an extra £100.00 to get the arrears down to an amount that would stop it going to court) I said yes. In the meantime we received court summons again so I called them again asking why? I was told because the interest rate went up again!! it brought the arrears above the "safe limit" again, but I was told it was a misunderstanding and that we shouldn't have received the court summons. Again we were charged £425.00 for this "misunderstanding". We have since re-mortgaged (even though we did have a poor credit rating I made sure the mortgage was paid with no arrears for a year so we re-mortgaged and got an interest rate of 5.5% fixed for 3 years. Much better) although we paid £5000.00 ERC it was worth it because GMAC's interest rate by this time was 9.8%. All these charges were paid off by our new mortgage company, but I want to claim back the £50.00 per month arrears charges and the solicitors and court fees which amount to £1025.00 alone. I think we've kept all the statements from GMAC so I just have to dig these out.

 

I'll let you know how I get along with this one.

Hi zootscoot,

 

Yes I'll do a review on GMAC, they really are the pits to deal with and I'll keep you posted. I've dig out all the charges I could find they add up to £1502.00. They charged an early exit fee of £5000.00 too but we were aware of that, and with the new mortgage we've got now we save approx £250.00 per month and its fixed for 3 years we managed to re-mortgage just before Christmas last year which is just as well the one with GMAC was repayment only and with the interest rate going up all the time we wouldn't have been able to afford it.

 

Cheers

 

Chrissie.

Hi Bona,

 

We have it in writing you pay exit fees for first 4 years so we had to pay £5000.00 just to get out. They are steep but its swings and roundabouts we are saving about £250.00 per month with our new mortgage so it will eventually pay for its self.

 

No I dont have it in writing they made a mistake just verbal on the phone. I was naive enough to think as it was their mistake we wouldn't be charged...wrong!!

We got full court papers addressed to both me and my husband even with the time and date we were due to appear. But on the statement they charged solicitors fees only. I always promised myself somehow I would try to claim these charges back, but at the time we still had the mortgage with them so we didn't want to "rock the boat" so to speak. Now we've re-mortgaged I'm going after them.

 

Bona and Tonycee Good luck with GMAC.

I'm on a mission I've got Alliance and Leicester our old bank on my list also dealing with American Express and their DCA's Newmans, AIC and Cr*pQuest.

 

All the best

 

Chrissie

  • 8 months later...

We had a mortgage with G-Mac from 2002/2007 and in that period we were charged a total of £2500 for all sorts of fees,arrears fee direct debit fees etc. It was only recently we decided to try and claim our fees back that we got into discussion with them, they refused and we have gone through the process of registered letters back and forth. there response was sorry we cant help, at this point most people will give up, but out of pure anger I have issued a court summoms against them, I might not win but there again I might. It has cost us £80 to issue just over ones months arrears cost with g-mac but the fact we are going to go to court with them has given me a little bit of self pleasure, like the old saying SEE YOU IN COURT, I will. I will let you no the out come. Bring it on is what I say.:)
