    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • when did they (who) inform you there was a 'police case' and when was this attained? i will guess the debt is now SB'd as it's UAE 15yrs. have you informed the bsnk ever by email/letter of your correct and current address? you can always ignore anyone else accept the bank,  Block and bounce back all emails. Block any text messages  Ignore any letters unless it's: - a Statutory Demand - a Letter Of Claim - a Court Claimform via Northants bulk.  
    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. I decided to pay my credit card and the bank had frozen my account. There is no means to pay the CC so completely unable to pay when I wanted to other than the bank advising me to ask a friend in the UAE to pay it on my behalf!  fast forward bank informs there is a police case against me for non payment. Years later IDR chased me and after months/ years they stopped. Now Judge & Priestley are trying their luck. Now I have received an email in English and Arabic from JP saying the bank has authorised them to collect debts. Is this the same as IDR although I didn’t receive anything like this from them. Just says they are authorised?
    • The neighbour's house is built right on the boundary so the side of their house is effectively the 'wall' in our garden separating the two properties. It's a three storey house and so the mortar poses a potential danger to us. Because of the danger, we have put up an interior fence in our garden to ensure we don't risk mortar dropping on us. That reduces the garden by 25% which is not only an inconvenience, but it's the part of the garden where we had lined up contractors to install a patio and gazebo which we will use for our wedding reception in less than 2 months. We have spoken to the neighbour's caretaker who is on the case, has spoken with a roofer and possibly a scaffolding company, but there are several issues. They don't seem to understand the urgency. As long as there is a risk of falling mortar, we can't carry out any work in the garden, and unless they hurry up, we're looking at cancelling our wedding as it's not viable to book a venue because we can't use our own garden! Also, they want to put the scaffolding up in our garden which would be ok with us if it was a matter of a few days and they hurried up, but there is a tree (most likely protected by the conservation area), so most likely they can only reach part of the roof with the scaffolding if they put it up in our garden. We suggested a roofer with a cherry picker but they seem to want to use a company they've used before. Any and all comments, suggestions, advice is more than welcome.  PS. does it make any difference that the neighbour is a business (ltd) and not a private dwelling?

    • 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 to All, this is what happened to me in NatWest...

 

I asked NatWest to do a money transfer for me. Despite I have done hundreds of money transfers in the last several years, on this occassion it was denied. The person from NatWest didn't like my passport. She treated me like a criminal, like a sheep. She kept picking at my passport photo, bending the cover to lift the picture trying to see what's underneath it...All the other people who did my transfers before didn't find anything wrong with my passport.

 

I was told that I needed to bring a driving licence. I said that I lost my driving licence and would have to go to Poland to get a new one issued. I was given no choice but to go abroad to bring it.

 

I was forced to take a break from work and went abroad to have my driving licence re-issued. I then flew back into the UK with my passport and driving licence. Passport control didn't see anything wrong with my passport at all.

 

I went back to NatWest and was made to wait for 2 hours. Finally I was seen by the same person as last time and she told me that she didn't want a Polish driving licence. She wanted a British one.

 

The bank manager didn't help me as this person had already spoken to him before about me and so he also treated me not like a person, not like a customer but like cattle.

 

I went to a different branch to have my transfer done. Unfortunately the person from the previous branch had by then put some diminitive comments about my passport/me on the internal NatWest database so now the person who dealt with it had to call the other women for an explanation. As he was on the the phone with her she got him to bend the cover of my passport and pick at the photograph. After around half an hour of that he came back with my passport in one hand and my passport photo in the other. There was not even one "sorry".

 

When I asked him in shock why he did that he said that "This would not happen to a British Passport". I was distressed. I said that if he shows me his I could demonstrate that this can happen to any passport.

 

Despite I know that both British and Polish passports are good (and v. likely the same) quality, what happened made me sad about being Polish, and wishing I had a British passport and not Polish passport. Only later once the shock is over you realise that you were simply discriminated against, you were made to feel this way. I had never been made to feel this way before for the whole 15-16 years of living in this country.

 

I have written to customer services and having received an unsatisfactory answer (everything that had happened was denied) I wrote to the RBS CEO.

 

I wrote to Sir Goodwin since when I called the NatWest call centre they told me that they didn't have a CEO in NatWest and the RBS CEO is the only CEO.

 

I received a reply from Gordon Pell, NatWest Retail Markets CEO, who also wrote that the NatWest people in question denied everything.

 

I walked into a NatWest branch and had my passport defaced. Now I am told by the NatWest Retail Markets CEO that I have no evidence and no one has seen anything. It was of course all recorded on CCTV but the way it's going I can see how the evidence is going to disappear. The CEO have already written to me that they are under no obligation to issue the CCTV footage.

 

If you are planning to walk into a NatWest branch, think about it twice...

 

This USED TO be an ethical organisation. Sadly no more.

If you want an honest answer its,

no i doubt it very much.

I believe your thread is more discriminative than NatWest have been, and quite contradictory to your own happy 15 year relationship with the bank.

I understand you have had a bad experience, but i hope you can move on soon.

Good luck.

I Wish you everything you wish yourself.

Sadly, you don't have a leg to stand on, other than starting up a criminal case against them for damage to official documents. Again, there is no direct evidence. I would let your embassy know, and perhaps they'll issue a warning. This is the kind of thing that happens when you let your passport go out of your hand - out of sight is even worse! I often shouted at bank staff in China and stopped them taking my passport away. Always hold onto your passport firmly; apparently, even the British can't be trusted with this kind of document.
