    • 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.

I was amazed at having to pay £1.00 per litre at tesco's at the weekend!:eek:

How come there is no fuss being made about this? 90p was enough to start the major protests last time.

 

I don't care how we do it but I think some protest should be made!

Any ideas welcome!

 

 

Hi All,

 

Just thought i would let you know that there are scheduled long term repairs and redevelopments to the Dover access roads due to start at any time now,so any form of protest in and around this area would immediately have a profound effect on the vast amounts of traffic trying to navigate to and from this incredibly busy site.

I agree that the current price of fuel is totally absurd,a clear sign of where gordon browns priorities lay.

Any form of protest must be kept as legal as possible,we see the animal protesters on a regular basis and its amazing the local chaos that a few ladies and gents can cause by walking along a road with a banner and a whistle.

Something very clearly needs to be done,as david cameron has recently stated, this country is in moral decline and has become a fractured nation,many thanks to the idiot called Blair !!

 

Im in.

Now is the time for *real* action against this faceless and greedy bunch of 'politicians'.

 

I'm open to ideas, and I'm willing to lead it. Completely independently of CAG of course.

Action sounds great but what can some of us do as they have some of us by the short and curlies

 

I moved to a more rural area as I was priced out of the Home Counties where I grew up. With Diesel in my home town going up a min of 2p per week it's getting to the point where I have to travel to keep a reasonably well paid job that pays enough for me to buy diesel to go to work!

 

Travel by public transport - good joke! Works well if you happen to live near some that comes more than once an hour doesn't travel round half the countryside to get anywhere and connects with anything!

 

I will happily sign any petition but boyotting stations only works if you have alternatives or can do without.

If boycotting the fuel stations or any other action would cause you hardship then it would be reasonable for you not to take part. However, small sacrifices by many can often have a big impact.

I have reservations as to whether botcotting the fuel stations would have the desired effect anyway. I think blockades of the depots, and even the threat of them, would have a far wider impact.

Personally, I don't think boycotting fuel stations is the answer.

 

I think boycotting the country is the answer - Heathrow, Gatwick, Dover - a few well selected points with probably only tens of vehicles could bring the country to a standstill in a matter of hours.

 

This would have to make 'them' sit up and take notice.

 

Boycotting or blockading the fuel depots will only affect small businesses really, and the arrogant government we have will just laugh, like last time (remember that t**t Prestcott?).

 

I think it needs to be more fundemental than just fuel depots/stations.

Hi all,

 

very interested in joining you all in this and to give some support.

 

It was on the news this morning that the Transport Industry ? (haulage trucks):roll: are going to start protesting the price increases.

 

 

The Haulage indusrty has never let this issue drop. Neither has the agriculural industry. The different organisations within the industries have campaigned constantly. Our business is a member of the RHA (Road Haulage Association) we receive monthly magazines that keep us informed of any actions taken. We need to bring all the organisations together, Caggers and general public. You can only do so much on your own but together acting as one, We might acheive something. The Goverment will have to sit up and take notice

How about a national 'use public transport' day?

 

It would grind the system to a halt, people would be late for work (if arriving at all), fuel purchases would be down, and it would embarrass this shower of taxing idiots on the world stage - something that I think is a subject close to their hearts.

The "all motoring costs" blue line in the graph accompanying that article is without doubt the biggest load of horse manure I have seen in a long time

 

I'd love to see how that was figured out

 

Petrol - up massively

Road tax - up massively

Servicing costs - up reasonably

Car purchase - roughly the same?

 

So, overall, how can the costs said to have stagnated in the last 30 odds years? utter, utter, dog do

omnia praesumuntur legitime facta donec probetur in contrarium

My income certainly hasn't went up in fact it has went down. I wonder where he gets the idea that motoring costs have went down. The paragraph I read would make you think he's not totally unbiased.

Just checking around town this evening. Prices varied from 107.9 to 110.9 for diesel. Getting rediculous especially when you consider, just 13 miles away in ROI it's just 84.9

No, was just interested to hear what their argument was.

 

I was the third person to join, I think there's 6 now.

 

I don't think that there's that much support.

I agree that it is wrong that fuel is allowed to be sold at stupid prices, and i certainly think it ought to be dropped not raised.

BUT look at it this way too. a protest for a few days makes a point. but if the powers that be dont listen and it carries on, people such as myself ( local council employee collecting recycling door to door ) wont be able to do their job. but ( and this is a genuine question ) if that happens, and we cant leave our depot because of fuel shortages, will i sill get paid. I believe i will. but what are the streets going to look like littered with uncollected recycling and refuse.

just a thought :rolleyes:

Please note that although my advice is offered, you should consult your legal representative before taking ANY action.

 

 

have a nice day !!
