    • 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.

Looks like its been blanket stayed at Courts own notion,unless the defendants asked for this when they sent in their acknowledgement.

The form that you have would usually be capable of being used to apply for Judgement.

You will ust have to await further directions.

Hi all

Found this letter today was wondering whether its ok to send to Wescot regarding dads account

 

Dear Sirs

 

My account with HSBC Bank Plc

Account number ************** Outstanding Balance £304.96

 

 

I note with interest you have been instructed by your client to recover the outstanding balance on the above account and the fact you now formally demand immediate payment of £304.96 on behalf of your client following their own failed attempts to ignore the legal process and in my opinion extract money with menaces.

 

I draw your attention to my own county court claim number 9S********* which has now been stayed subject to your clients’ legal representative, DG Solicitors application to the court to await the outcome of the Commercial Court proceedings between the OFT and the Defendant (and seven others) comprised in Claim No. 2007 Folio 1186. I suggest you do the same, I’m sure as HSBC’s Debt Recovery Specialists you will be well aware of this situation by now.

 

I confirm any further costs you incur in this matter will be your own fault for being too stupid to read my correspondence and take heed of the current legal situation that exists and therefore will be at your own liability.

 

I further confirm if my account is referred to debt collection agents who try to act without the required legal backing and attempt to call on me collect payment I will contact the police to have them removed from my premises and commence harassment proceedings against them, you and your client.

 

Yours sincerely

You might want to wait for others to comment, Lisa.

 

YOu say you found the letter on another thread, could you point me in the direction of that thread so I can see if this actually was sent or perhaps just an OP venting frustration. :)

Hi Lisa, I see that letter was penned by Castlebest so yes, go ahead and send it... all of it, no need to remove the last paragraph:D

 

However, there was also another letter a bit further down penned by Scarlet Pimpernel, at least you have a choice. It also mentions the unlawful penalties so you get your point home.

 

 

 

original quote by Scarlet Pimpernel - post 6

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-1313530.html

 

 

Dear Sirs,

 

 

Thank you for your letter dated xxxx. I do not acknowledge any debt to you or any company you claim to represent. All communication in this matter must be in writing.

 

I am surprised, not least because you are part of the same company, that your ‘client’ did not let you know that this account is disputed because it consists partly of unfair and/or unlawful penalty charges. Although I have raised a formal complaint and claim against your client, they have refused to deal with it until the forthcoming legal action brought against them and others by the Office of Fair Trading is heard. You will not need to be reminded that the Office of Fair Trading guidelines on Debt Collection states that continuing collection activity whilst a dispute is unresolved is an ‘unfair practice’.

 

In the circumstances I regret that I am unable to assist you further unless your client is willing to resolve the dispute.

 

Take notice that any legal action will be robustly defended and a counterclaim made; I look forward to placing evidence of your client’s attempts at unjust enrichment before a judge. Any further breaches of the OFT guidelines will be reported to the appropriate enforcement authorities.
