    • 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 Guys

 

Just reading through this thread and can anyone advice on the procedure for me please.

 

My sister owes 3mths morgage arears of £2k she's in court on the 29th April for an 'Order For Possession' she is paying £900 Monday + £300 Friday so will only owe £800 arrears before the court hearing, can or will they still repossess her home?

 

Thanks for any advice given in advance :)

Hi there, it is very very unlikely that a judge would grant possession for £800 of arrears. Has your sister returned the defence documents that she would have been sent a few weeks ago?

 

We can prepare a statement to take to court on the day detailing the payments she has made and how she is going to clear the remaining arrears.

 

Try not to worry too much, your sister's arrears situation is'nt bad enough for an order for possession to be made.

 

Kind Regards

Hiya

 

 

Thanks for reply, no my sister has been out of the country for 3wks due to her partners aunt passing away so has only just come back home to a Order Of Possession & date of hearing,paperwork just basically entails morgage deeds, amount payable every month for morgage, arrears outstanding of £2k but due to office closed today can only make the £900 payment monday morning then another £300 Friday...

 

She just dosent know whats expected of her with GMACs solicitors statement or if she needs to respond to this before the hearing on the 29th April.

 

thanks again for you quick reply :)

Hi there, she needs to go to the hearing. You can enter defence papers up to a week before the hearing, but it is getting a little tight for time. I can draft a statement for her to take to the court to give to the judge, just let me know if you want me to do that.

 

Kind Regards

Hi Ell-enn

 

 

Thankyou so much really appreciate it, my sister said she had a few letters off GMAC and rang them up to try arrange extra payments for the arrears but they demanded £100 a week plus the monthly morgage payments to be paid on time and GMAC inturn would keep it out of the courts, but in a panic my sister agreed over the phone to this knowing that it would kill her to pay this much a week, basically bully boy tactics......

 

She's just really worried about the hearing but will tell her to calm down cos she's stressing me lol

Hi there, tell your sister not to stress too much over the hearing. It will be held in a private room with just the judge, your sister and a representative for the other side. She will find that the judge will guide her through the hearing and almost all of them are on the side of the debtor. Many of the local courts have Citizens Advice advisors attending and if the court your sister has to go to has one of these advisors she can ask him/her to accompany her in the hearing.

 

If you let me have a little more information I will start to draft a statement for her to take with her. How did the arrears arise? How much is her normal monthly payment and how much can she afford to pay towards the £800 of arrears that will be left when she has made the payments next week?

 

Kind Regards

Hiya

 

Thanks your a star :)

 

When she bought the house it needed renovating so she is renting and paying a morgage, house wont be finished for another 4mths to move into, so she just struggling for the short term paying for rent and morgage, plus car finance which she has had lowered for 3mths till she back on her feet with this.

 

Monthly payments = £578.03

 

I have lent her the money to pay some off the arrears next week and she says she can afford £50 extra a week for arrears, so £200 a month she wants to offer GMAC... not £100 they were demanding.

 

Thanks

OK, that's great - I'll work on the statement and get back to you tomorrow. £200 a month is a lot to pay towards the arrears on top of the mortgage payment, your sister needs to be absolutely sure she can keep that up for 4 months. If she is in any doubt she should only offer £100 for 8 months (which is a very reasonable amount), in case an emergency crops up and she finds herself short again one month and has to go through this rigmarole again.

 

Kind Regards

Why dont you offer £100 and get that agreed if your sister has extra money she can always pay more but if something happens and she cant pay it all she wont be in trouble Ellems right

Hiya

 

 

Yes your both right i think she just wants to pay all the arrears off and is in a bit of a panic at the moment thinking come the 29th the judge will side with GMAC and a date would be set to repo the house.

 

Not only that they sting her every month £50 for late payments which they add to the morgage.

To put this into perspective - if the judge sides with GMAC in this case I will stand naked in our local co-op window:D

Hi Guys

 

Just an update on my sisters pending hearing next week, she paid them £900 yesterday and was told if she paid £160 friday instead of the £300 that she was going to do the hearing is cancelled.

 

To be honest she said when she rang GMAC the guy on the other end was very nice and helpful, he asked how much she was willing to pay each week off her arrears and she offered £20, they happy with that offer.

 

So basically court hearing is cancelled, :)

 

Thanks guys for all the help with this one much appreciated xx

The guy at GMAC may have been very nice BUT, your sister should phone the court on Monday (28th) to check that they have cancelled the hearing. If they don't cancel the hearing will still carry on and if their representative turns up they'll get suspended possession in her absence. She MUST check they have cancelled, it wouldn't be unusual for them not to contact the court in time.

 

Please don't think I'm being negative,I'm really pleased she has come to an arrangement with GMAC but these companies have a habit of saying one thing and doing another.

 

Kind Regards

Hi Ell-enn

 

Yes your correct, will mention it to my sis tomorrow and when she pays the rest friday morning she can ask them over the phone and confirm this by ringing court too.

 

 

thanks x

Please check or Ell-enn could end up naked in the co op shop window :D

 

Seriously, dont trust any nice people over the phone, there are some real horror stories around about saying one thing, and doing nothing.

 

I would demand confirmation in writing, and if none is forth coming, i would still appear at court just in case.

 

It really would be worth the couple of hours of your time.

I Wish you everything you wish yourself.
