And someone else once said I may not agree with what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it.....

Unauthorised Sign Placed on Garage Wall

Send them a PCN for £60, reducing to £30 if paid within 14 days. -
Just be careful he doesn't claim the money through paypal. They have history for accepting claimants "stories" without checking with the other party. They could just take the money from your bank account without any reference to you.
-
This is all that appeared originally when I replied. When the OP left the UK is of no consequence.> The rest, about closing the bank account was not there then but it is now.
-
Can you elaborate on that for everyones benefit?
-
Hmmmm....I didn't think I would see words like that on this forum. I expect it from posters on Moneysavingexpertl forums but not here. I apologise for not agreeing with other posters opinions.

Brigadier, not sure why but when I click reply with quote more message appears in the quote than appears in the main message body. I have never said the OP is avoiding the debt although I fail to see why he/she cannot just pay it and get the whole business finished with. I'm sure he/she has details of the Hutchison 3G offices in HK but if not a quick search on google would provide it. I might be wrong but I thought they were a HK company anyway. And I didn't say the bank account was not closed properly and nowhere does the OP say the charges are spurious. He/she states that it was an unfinished phone contract, nothing spurious about that.
-
This was my original comment "Of course you could always pay the £70 you owe and left the country without paying!!!" I do not consider that to be judgemental or self righteous. If the OP simply paid the money the problem would be over, the debt would be shown as paid. It was advice - nothing else. I have had my own problems in the past so would never be self righteous. Those problems were one of the reasons I joined this site.
-
You will see that my original reply was in fact to post 12 and it was what I perceived to be flippancy that drove me to make my comment. If the OP would like to say when he/she left the UK, how many emails they had from Hutchison 3G before the debt was passed to Scotcall and what action he/she took before being contacted by Scotcall, then I will reconsider my thoughts. I'm assuming that Scotcall got the OP's email address from Hutchison 3G.
-
I would also mention that I'm sure I read somewhere a while ago that coil springs on Renaults were a particular problem. It might be worthwhile checking a few Renault forums.
-
Oh dear, yet again I have failed to read the post correctly. Really? Where does it say it was a "recent" account? What it says is "Recently, I have received a email from Scotcall" In my book that means that the debt is not "recent", just the contact from the debt collectors. I assume, maybe wrongly, that the OP still has the SIM card or even the phone itself and he/she never thought in your 3 or 4 months "I must pay the outstanding money for that" I'm not going to labour the point. I am entitled to my opinion as you are yours. My old fashion ways mean I say as I see but If I'm proved wrong then I apologise otherwise I stick with what I feel. I'm sure you would rather have differing points of view on these forums than everyone saying the same thing.
-
Yes I agree but I would imagine that for the debt to have been passed to Scotcall it would have been outstanding for some time. It's my old fashion ways.
-
Of course you could always pay the £70 you owe and left the country without paying!!!

Personally I don't think you'll have much luck with the dealer. Even though the car has been off the road for a while coil springs can snap at any time. You have done 1300 miles in it and the dealer has no way of knowing whether you have driven over a deep pothole, up a kerb or suchlike to cause the break. As far as the brake light switch is concerned this could be due to it standing for such a long time. I'm not sure that the steering lock is part of the MOT.
-
No need to dig it out DD, I get the gist of it. Unfortunately we didn't get to a public meeting, ours was decided by some kid behind a desk. I hope yours goes well for you and your mother.
-
Great stuff. Can you put on here what exactly it was that you used? I appreciate it may be personal or confidential and if it is then I will understand

One of my objections was on the grounds that the development will deprive me of my right to peaceful enjoyment of my house as guaranteed by Article 8 of the ECHR. The council have dismissed that argument citing decisions made in the House of Lords in" Alconbury 2003 & Begum 2003" which established clearly in the UK context that the protection of human rights in planning and administrative decisions generally "did not lie high on the scale of rights requiring the greatest protection and intervention by the courts" From what I can see Alconbury and Begum were Article 6 appeals, the right to a fair trial so I don't know what the Council mean.
-
Thanks for that DD. That's what I was afraid of. The way the application was handled just reinforces my opinion that the whole system is corrupt. I mean how can you place a site notice a mile away from the proposed development site? Anyway, thanks for the reply. Regards
-
An application for a developement that will be directly behind my house has just been approved. I objected to it but when reading the reasons for the application's acceptance it appears that a number of points I raised have not been addressed and in other cases where they have been addressed it seems the Council are just saying "we are right, you are wrong" I have tried to find out how or even if one can raise these points with the council. I am told that once permission is granted there is no avenue of appeal for objectors. Thanks.

PPC's - a different slant
johnjordan replied to ploddertom's topic in Private Land Parking Enforcement
I presume the reasoning behind this is that if they have already had to pay £35 to POPLA they will not want to risk another £25 for a court hearing. -
DFS Sofa Sagging after just 1 week
johnjordan replied to looking4advice's topic in General Consumer Issues
It was a website run by Yahoo, I forget the name but Yahoo closed it down. I'm sure there are others very similar. Try flikr or create a yahoo profile. -
DFS Sofa Sagging after just 1 week
johnjordan replied to looking4advice's topic in General Consumer Issues
I had a similar problem with DFS a few years ago and was continually fobbed off by my local store and the "area manager". In the end I found a website where one could post pics, took some pics of the suite and headed it "look at the fabulous quality of DFS suites". As I wasn't slagging them off by saying it was a load of rubbish there wasn't much they could do. I then sent the link to the website to their head office, Darley Dale I think, and very very quickly another "area manager" contacted me and the problem was resolved virtually overnight. -
Incorrect Make of car on PNC
johnjordan replied to hoofingbloke's topic in Local Authority Parking and Traffic Offences
Why not send it back and say you do not own or drive a Vauxhall. Let them prove it was you. -
Same here!!!

Why not wait until they phone you today before taking this any further?
