  1. Given that the point of your first post was to ask who has the debt, I would have thought a letter asking the bank this question would give you your answer, or has your original post changed direction now?

  2. The killing of Bin Laden could have been a crime - it all depends on the events that unfolded inside the building in which he was found and the orders which the US soldiers received. If Bin Laden was taken alive, it must be realised that the resulting detention and trial of him would be fraught with difficulties and risks. However, this begs the question: do we abandon the rule of law just because implementing it is difficult?

  3. No, it dosn't mean that you cannot take them to court. If I was you, I would WRITE a letter saying that unless the car is reapired to a complete roadworthy and satifactory standard where it would pass an MOT within the next 7 days, then you will require a full refund. If that fails to produce, then i'm afraid court is going to be your only option. My opinions in my eralier post (#43) still stand and I think they have commenced a repair that cannot be sucessfully economically completed and they are finding it difficult to admit this.

  4. If you haven't applied for judgment before a defence is filed then you lose the right to ask for judgment. This is why you should observe tie limits carefully and move quickly. By part admission, I take it that there has been a partial defence. You should apply for judgment on the admitted part and ask for a hearing to be listed on the disputed remainder. Get a copy of Patricia Pearl's book on County Court procedure but also start paying attention to deadlines. You are surrendering opportunities for no good reason

  5. I will go to Ladbrookes tomorrow and place a bet that when this car is back with the items supposedly fixed it will still not self centre, will handle like a pig and frankly will be an absolute nightmare. Why wasn't this dealt with by an insurance company as my feel is that that this car is a total write off. It is far from economic repair. Again..........from the damage described, this car has a seriously bent front end and cannot be fixed properly without a serious amount of cash thrown at it.

  6. Iqor sent me a letter over a paypal debt 2 years ago saying pay up or we are taking you to court. They either have a really really slow guy working on the case or it's all hot air. I would suggest it's all hot air.

  7. This case hinges on the law of TORT. You have been charged an amount for trespass effectively. It is a private road and thus private property. The signs are displayed and you still parked. HOWEVER, you say you didn't see the signs and thus the case changes direction. The clamping company forms a contract between themselves and you at the point you read the signs and choose to park anyway. You didn't read the sign and thus cannot agree to its contents. The clampers will try to argue that you read them retrospectively, but that does not count in court. Do not waste a penny 'appealing'. Write to both the clamper and the land owner dema

  8. I am glad you took the chance to reply. As has been mentioned by you and others, fraud is theft. That much is plain. No amount of patting on the back, no amount of saying you did it for the right reasons changes that. In my opinion, benefit fraud as it is at the moment, is a fairly new and developing blight. A recent HMRC poll found that the majority felt 'everyone was at it', meaning the system was routinely defrauded. How have we arrived at this conclusion? Undoubtably HMRC has to shoulder the blame for not being robust with their penalites to start with, but now that they have begun to turn the screw the reaction seems to be 'ho
