    • 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.

yep and although we lost Collingwood was a master strategist in deciding to have a bat first - that way, there was no way that they could thump us and land us with a NRR lower than Zims, and i hadnt even thought of that - bloody genius!!

Balls and stumps oh and players red stains umpires leg before!!! and other strange sayings
Indeed. The whole thing is quite bizarre.

 

For anybody who doesn't know what cricket's all about, let me explain. (Although I don't really know myself, this is just what I have grasped from the bits I have managed to see before falling asleep...)

 

Cricket as a game is not what I would call 'an exciting spectacle'. Come to think of it, there is literally nothing in life that I would call 'an exciting spectacle', as this is a phrase that I have never used, and will never use.

 

Although having said that, in the fourteen seconds it took me to think of the phrase and type it, I have come to feel rather fond of it. Perhaps I should start using it.

 

On the minus side, I've noticed that I've become quite prone to italicising words to place stress on them (if you don't know what italicising means, I'm afraid I can't help you, because you are eyewateringly stupid). I don't agree with excessive italicising as I think it is sloppy. Therefore, from now on, the deal is: more exciting spectacles, less italics.

 

Anyway, cricket. In my opinion, cricket is not an exciting spectacle. Not as exciting as, say, watching a retired chiropodist driving a motorcycle and sidecar on a Wall of Death, with a leopard in the sidecar, in Leatherhead, Surrey.

 

No sirree.

 

You'll have gathered, if you have read this far - and apologies if you have, this really is going absolutely nowhere interesting - that the voluntary watching of cricket is one of the many phenomena in this carnival of insanity we call 'life' that I find baffling. That there are people presently existing on our planet, sentient people, who would choose to watch a game of cricket being played, keeps me awake at night, disturbs me (though perhaps not as much as the fact that I am writing this, right here, right now).

 

It's not just the watching of the cricket though. There is also the phenomenon of 'going to watch the cricket' in a live setting. I find it mind-bogglingly, full-on eppy mental crazy that people would pay to go to "the Oval" or "the Triangle" (or whatever the other places are called) to watch a game of cricket being played. Not only that, but the fact that they would utilise a portion of the energy reserves available to them to move one leg in front of the other in a manner that carried them, either entirely on foot or via some other means of transport, such as a motor vehicle, or an omnibus, or a train, or even a bicycle, but I digress, to the aforementioned temple of cricket.

 

I haven't even mentioned yet the fact that said persons travelling to said temple of cricket to watch said sport probably thought, when they awoke the morning of their visit to the cricket, about what they might wear there. They actually used up precious moments of life thinking "will the slacks be uncomfortable or should I go for the jumbo cords?"

 

What's more, they possibly spent a good part of the day - while they were at work, or maybe while tending to their offspring (not in a dodgy sense, you understand) thinking about the cricket-based revelries to come. Actually cricket matches seem to be played during the day, so perhaps in these situations they look forward to the cricket-based revelries to come whilst actually watching them. This is how wormholes form in the fabric of time, according to my Readers Digest Book of Made-up and Briefly Amusing Absurdities.

 

Why do they do it? For anyone who doesn't know what cricket is, here is a definition (just realised that's what I said I was going to explain, so here goes I'll finally do it): two men (women are forbidden by law from playing cricket by the Women and Cricket Act, 1981) stand in a field with a load of other men standing around watching them. One stands in front of some whittled down planks, whilst holding another plank in his hand which has been whittled down but not quite as much as the ones behind him. The man without the planks has to throw a ball at the planks behind the other man, whilst he tries to hit the ball back at him with his plank. Then somebody thought that was a little boring so for some unkown reason when the ball is hit by the plank the man runs around the field for a while, whilst the other men on the field go and look for the ball. The man who runs the most wins a game (called a Crick). Whoever wins the most Cricks wins the entire Match and has to shout "I AM CRICKET" to seal the victory. Ridiculous.

 

What other sporting event would require spectators to travel to a place that is named after a geometrical form, then sit in rigid silence, without even the possibility of being allowed out to enjoy a snack or a chat with a friend, for up to seventeen hours? Pro-celebrity ludo? Perhaps. Then again, perhaps not, as this does not exist. Yet.

 

Ok, as Americans often start their sentences, so it's theory time.

 

Next time you happen to catch cricket on the television, take a good look at the crowd. I mean, a really good look. In fact, a gooooood look. Their blank stares. Their beige cardigans. Their palpable approval of tinned 'travel' sweets dusted in icing sugar. Their attention, focused - uncannilly, wordlessly, even psychically - on the same thing. What does this all mean? Let's take a look at the evidence.

Dead-eyed crowd

Beige cardigans

Geometrically-themed venue

'Umpire' and 'players'

13 men in the field

Green field

Weird trousers

Cricket ball

You might want to sit down before reading my conclusions. Comfy? Westside.

 

Dead-eyed crowd - Chosen ones preparing for the final reckoning

Beige cardigans - Symbolically also worn by Four Horsemen of Apocalypse

Geometrically-themed venue - Actually just a fad

Green field - Obviously represents Garden of Eden

13 players - Can it be coincidence that there were 13 people at the last supper? Is there a hitherto-unbeknown cricket reference in Da Vinci's famous painting? No. Of course there's not.

'Umpire' and 'Players' - Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Weird trousers - Extra pockets handy for storing valuables while soul ascends to Heaven

Cricket ball - Represents purity of the soul

 

 

What I'm trying to tell you is that, when you watch a cricket game on television, you are witnessing that most exciting of spectacles, the actual fulfilment of the prophesy of Revelations from the bible - ie the end of the world. The ultimate battle between good and evil.

 

 

Just thought you should know.

Seen it all, worked at Trent Bride House which overlooks cricket ground of said name, when big sides got there it was like parking got took over and had to pay even though worked there, work, well sad gits watched for free from office windows, us proper workers got interupted by resounding cheers or other explitives when every ball got bowled (that ws a hard one to type)

Take it it's not cricket for one!

For anybody who doesn't know what cricket's all about, let me explain. (Although I don't really know myself, this is just what I have grasped from the bits I have managed to see before falling asleep...)

 

There are two sides, one side out in the field and the other side inside.

Two of the men that are inside go out because they are in and when one of them is out he comes inside and another man goes in until he's out. When a man goes outside to go in, the men who are already outside try to get him out, and when he is out he comes inside and the next man in the side inside goes outside because he’s in. When all of the men (except one of course), who are in the team that is in are out everybody comes inside and the side that's been in goes outside and tries to get those coming in out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out and, if they feel like it, they come inside and then the other side which was inside is in and has to go out.

 

There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. These two men are appropriately dressed in white coats and wear several hats and jumpers. They have pebbles in their pockets.

 

When all the men in each side have been in and are all out, they go in and do it all again until they are all out again. Finally, when the sides have been in and all out twice, both sides come inside, that is the end of the game and one side wins. This doesn’t happen very often.

 

Sometimes, if one of the sides is not out because their men are still in and the other side has scored more, it’s a draw. This should not be confused with a tie, which is not the same thing.

 

Another reason why neither side wins is that, unlike all other team field sports, if it rains, nothing happens. Sometimes, nothing happens for five days, in which case both teams wear sunglasses, play cards, look through the windows and then go home.
