    • 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.

...a long time ago I had a guy phoned me from Cabot about an outstanding debt. After several days of receiving several phone calls a day, always from the same person and giving the usual spiel, I got fed up and decided to turn the conversation around. He was doing the usual trick of not allowing me to speak, but when I managed to get a word in I asked him why he sounded so stressed out, irate, het up etc. He didn't answer so then I said 'you don't sound well, have you seen a doctor lately?, are you suffering from PEP by any chance?' he stopped and asked me what I meant and what was PEP. I said 'well you sound really stressed out, so I thought perhaps you were having problems with Premature ejaculation and can't satisfy your partner'. He then put the phone down and I didn't here from them again. A few weeks later a further phone call came from Cabot, this time from a woman. Again I turned the conversation around, being very sympathetic and showing concern for her state of mind. I asked her if she was having hormonal problems and asked if PMT was the reason for her attitude and had she considered seeing a doctor. I then bid her farewell and she retorted - 'You'll be hearing from us'. Lo and behold, to date I have never had another phone call from Cabot.........W.M.

You'll lose 14 stone in a day. As recommended by commedien, Jo Brand.

The only side effects known are from someone called Joan from Bolton, who said on a recent Chorley FM (where the listener comes first) radio show, "I can't poo." But that's too much information Joan.

 

So leave a message below if you want to order a weight loss gingerbread man. At the bargain price of only £35 each + £7 post and packing.

Yes, only £35 each, or £100 for two.

 

 

If you are going to resort to plagiarism for your gags at least get the source correct...

Erm, I know what you mean. But I quoted Peter Kay's "Lose 14 stone in a day." and then referred to Jo Brand as she's always on weight and cakes, in her stand up comedy show.

Hope that clears things up a bit?

I think i have a good windup for them

 

asking them if my butt looks good in this?

 

discussing my needing to pee every 2 minutes and flushing the chain while they are on the phone.

 

then discussing my stretch marks some of them are horrid.

 

then discussing what having a baby is actually like this will be a ewwy one for them.

All my DCA's have gone a bit quiet recently. :confused:

Not heard from any of them for over a week now.

I have a feeling they're behaving, after the OFT slapping

13 of them received recently.

Now it's quiet it gives me the time to concentrate on the

formal complaints letters and my turn to give them some

threat-o-grams. :cool:

 

My next round of calls, when they do start up again, will

be to "chat up" the DCA employee. Or just have the

memory span of a goldfish.

 

One thing I have discovered, is give them the wrong address

and date of birth. Then insist that the details you gave them

are correct. Just see how many of them will continue

without the correct security info. :rolleyes:

Don't forget to complain to the OFT & FOS if they do. :-D

I was sitting here thinking, (yeah, yeah, before you start), that it was a pity I binned a phone we had a couple of years back. Got shot of it because although you could hear the caller ok, unless you shouted, they couldn't here you clearly.

 

However, as my OH has a habit of rescuing items heading for the bin, on the off chance I had a rummage in the attic.

 

Excellent!!!

 

There, among all of the other things-that-should-have been-chucked-years-ago-cos-they-dont-f***ing-work-and-are-a-total-waste-of-space, it was. After testing it by phoning from the mobile, I can report that it still works perfectly.

 

This should be fun.

Think they scared everyone off with the "female bodily fluids and pregnancy thing." I can hear grown men screaming in terror as they run from the room.

Ooh...I could waffle for days on any of the above (anything to get out of writing a comparitive media histories essay ;) )

 

I'd like to see a copy of your comparitive media histories essay, and in return I'll send you details on how to build a laser than can pop balloons from 20 feet way. (5 hours work and £45 worth of components)

Anything apart from female bodily functions. :p
