      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By tobyjugg2 · Posted

      Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.

      Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.

      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?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Well I spent years fighting with Lloyds TSB over a debt allegedly taken out in 1999. After a Data Protection Act they send me a letter stating they have no copy of the loan agreement. I call up (unrecorded call unfortunately) and they stated they would not take the matter any further....

Today a letter from RW&C demanding payment with added fees and threats of a visit.

What do you lovely people think of my reply.. does it do the job? would you add or change anything?

Dear Robinson, Way & Company Ltd,

 

Ref ***

Account ***

 

Thank you for your recent missive and your invitation for one of your local agents to call. Please note for your records I will not be setting a repayment plan or requesting a visit. This is for two reasons:

 

·I do not acknowledge this debt

 

·There is no enforceable agreement relating to this debt.

 

Please feel free to liaise with Lloyds TSB who will confirm this debt is unenforceable and that they agreed not to take the matter further. For your records Lloyds have confirmed they have no records/agreement relating to this loan in their letter dated 25th July 2006 from Ms **** ref ******.

 

As such I invite you to take the matter up with them as I will not be entering in to any further correspondence with you regarding this matter.

 

Yours sincerely

Hi there tygermoth,

 

Here`s one I sent to Lowells, try this if you want :p

 

Edit to suit -

 

 

 

Dear empty heads,

 

You have contacted me regarding the account with the above reference number, which you claim is owed by myself.

 

What the hell are you dribbling on about? You ask me for a payment, without proving anything. Are you on smack or something? I would point out that I have no knowledge of any such debt being owed to, or have even heard of Lowell Portfolio.

 

I am also familiar with the Office of Fair Trading Debt Collection Guidance which states that it is unfair to send demands for payment to an individual when it is uncertain that they are the debtor in question.

 

I would also point out that the Office of Fair Trading say under the Guidance that it is unfair to pursue third parties for payment when they are not liable. In not ceasing collection activity whilst investigating a reasonably queried or disputed debt you are using deceptive/and or unfair methods.

 

Furthermore ignoring and/or disregarding claims that debts have been settled or are disputed and continuing to make unjustified demands for payment amounts to physical/psychological harassment.

 

I would ask that no further contact be made concerning the above account unless you can provide evidence as to my liability for the debt in question, for example, the last bill you have at our address, or your receipt of purchase. This would be very interesting to see.

 

Further to the above, and your threat to arrange for a moron to visit, do you honestly think I’m going to entertain your so-called agent? I don’t think so! Make sure that any contact by yourselves is made in writing only to the above address. Telephone calls and personal visits will not be accepted and viewed as harassment and dealt with accordingly - Administration Of Justice Act 1970, Protection From Harassment Act 1997, Communications Act 2003. If you choose to harass me by telephone I will report you to OFCOM, Trading Standards and The Office Of Fair Trading, meaning that you will be liable to a substantial fine, far more than this alleged debt.

 

May I remind you, there is only an implied license under English Common Law for people to be able to visit me on my property without express permission; the postman and people asking for directions etc (Armstrong v. Sheppard and Short Ltd (1959) 2 Q.B. per Lord Evershed M.R.). Therefore take note that I revoke license under Common Law for you, or your representatives to visit me at my property and if you do so, then you will be liable to damages for a tort of trespass and action will be taken, including but not limited to, Police attendance.

 

 

I await your written confirmation that this matter is now closed. Otherwise I will have no option but to make a complaint to the Trading Standards department and consider informing the Office of Fair Trading of your phishing actions.

 

I look forward to your reply.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

Hope this helps.

 

If I have been helpful or made you laugh in any way then please click my scales

 

Regards

Tygermoth delete the bit about there being no enforceable agreement that implies there must have been one or why would you know or even ask

 

I do not acknowledge any liability to your company whatsoever will suffice plus the bit in Np's letter referring to the withdrawal of the licence to visit

 

& whilst I really love NP's letter I suggest you tone some of it down particularly the bit about morons using smack as while no doubt true it could cause you problems if you actually put it in a letter:D

I wouldn't bother wasting money on the cost of postage if I were you. If you still have the original correspondence with Lloyds it would be far better to just let RW continue to write because you are only a letter or two away from the threat of legal action, at which point you have by them by the gonads. The home visit threat is enough in itself really.

 

Let them carry on, and when you have enough ammo make a complaint. This is going to become increasingly common I suspect, as the Banking Industry cuts loose the 'Financial Services' sector to let them take the fall, post credit crunch. Lloyds have sold it to someone to recover some of their losses, and now some sucker has a worthless account on their books. Poor souls.

:)

HOIST BY THEIR OWN PETARD.

 

Blimey it works....:-)

Im in Danny boys camp on this one. You know that there is no agreement so I would let RWC babble on with their empty threats. I would totally ignore them while at the same time gather sufficient evidence to warrant a prosecution by the OFT under the lovely Unfair Trading Regulations 2008

Thank you for the person that PM'ed me and stated this debt should also have been statute barred.

 

if payments were made on this account does that invalidate the statute barring? (if that is even a word lol) i was approached about two years after the loan was allegedly taken out and CCJ filed..... i was pressurised into making payment, being young and foolish I did.

 

The CCJ that was lodged against me many years ago for this alleged loan has dropped off my credit file and i now have an excellent credit history ...... can they lodge more defaults etc??

You didn't say you had a CCJ!!!

 

Let's just disperse a few clouds and ask a straightforward question - Do you recognise this debt?? I mean, do you actually owe it???

If you already have a ccj they can apply to court to re-enforce it.

Oppps sorry, after a hasty check on experian and my records it was a default not a CCJ - sorry for the confusion. I had put this to bed and Lloyds said they were not going to take the matter further so i am a but rusty with the details.

 

Hope that helps...

 

(I am really sorry was getting all worked up yesterday when i posted so was not thinking clearly... its amazing how a DCA can wind you up and stress you out and get you all turned around)

 

In relation to the debt... i DID have a short period that i banked with Lloyds in 1999 but it was only a few months, they could not sort out my DD 's and kept messing me about. I never took out a loan with them as far as i am aware however they keep changing what the amount owing is for... one letter states overdraft and fees... another says loan.... this is why i asked for DPA because i wanted to know what the hell i was being chased for.

 

At this point i got a letter stating 'we have no agreement, records or account details that relate to this account - but we are not obliged to keep them and we are happy you owe us so pay up...'

 

This was the point i called them and they stated that as they had no details they would not pursue the matter - Abby (the lady in question) stated that lloyds was being utterly ridiculous chasing a debt to which they could not prove/show/provide any details for.

 

Hope that clarifies and again....sorry

When was the last time that any payment or written acknowledgement of the debt was made by you because from reading your last post it would appear to me that the debt is statute barred

to add balance...I last made a payment about 1 year ago. I was paying £15 per month at the time (because my financial situation was really quite bad i basically just rang everyone that was chasing me and set payments up)

 

It wasn't until years later I realised that some of the items i was paying just didn't add up... that's when i started investigating.

 

In total i have paid about 2 yrs at £15 per month (the balance in the letter is £1995). I stopped paying after Lloyds confirmed they had no agreement.

 

Thanks for the replies everyone, much appreciated.
