    • 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?
    • 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.

Don't forget to ask them for the interest to be recalculated if and when they refund the insurance payments. Forget speaking to them on the phone, just put everything in writing (keep copies) and send it recorded delivery.

Hi

 

Thanks for the help.

 

they are now ringing me almost every day telling me that I HAVE to pay more, and I am actually making higher payments than what the basic payment is, until the insurance situation is sorted this is £50ish every month and they want more.

 

I did an income and outgoings over the phone and they accused me of having more with which I can use to pay. What they wanted was th emoney I need totravel for my job! This is a kind of round figue in tha what comes in goes back out.

 

Once the insureance is sorted the sum should go up to about £75 over the top to clear the outstanding amount.

I am paying £130 extra to clear my arrears each month but now Capstone say they are charging me £115 'Arrears Litigation Fees'. Whats the point of me paying extra but then losing it on fees? What is this for? How do they get away with this and is there anyone I can complain to?

Andrew66,

They've done exactly the same to me. I'm in arrears of £804.12 just over two months payments. For this they've charged me a total of £2053.97. Surely this must be regarded as disproportionate.

There is a thread by Goldlady where I think she successfully reclaimed mortgage fees. If you did want to try and reclaim you need to do some careful research. Firstly you need to follow the correct complaints procedure for the lender ( ask for a copy if you do not have one) .It is some peoples opinion that it may be a slightly risky strategy while you still have the mortgage with the lender in case they took retaliatory action. But personally I hope that there are some successes soon as I think IMO only they are very unfair - especially the automatic fees just for being in arrears.Probably if you decide to proceed the FOS would be the way to go.

 

Do a search on mortgage arrears fees and do a bit of reading.

Hi All

 

Well I have come the unfortunate conclusion that SPML/Capstone need to be taught a lesson.

 

So with this in mind I am now considering taking them to court!!

 

Now for the hard bit. Like a lot of us on here funds are short in supply, also I woul dneed th ehelp of a very good solicitor.

How many of us woul dbe prepared to work together and get one of us to take SPML/Capstone to court and give them the kick up their backside they deserve?

 

For me the problem is the cost, I have no money, but would dearly like to take them on. Alternatively I am willing to part with some of my very hard earned money for someone to take them on.

 

I am not afraid to go all the way to get this parasite to toe the line and make their charges go down and repay them to the people who have all tried and are still trying to get back on track with your mortgaes.

 

I have just been informed that they have not had my insurance details either from me (which I have sent) and from my insurance provider!!

 

Also they are putting a £50.00 charge on my account which is actually putting me behind (again) and they are going to send a finance advisor to help me sort out my own finances even though I have given them what they have asked for!! and they want to make me pay for the privilige!!

No way fo rme, and I am hoping the same from you all reading this.

 

So if you agree and want to help either with moral support and preferably finacial help let me know. I don't want any money right now as i will need to get some people to work with me (for free) and administer any money, and keep the correct accounting to let everyone see that I am above board.

 

I am thinking that if/when I/we win any money left over could be donated to charity but thats a long way away right now. Hopefully if I/we win we will get the money refunded and they will realise that we cannot be pushed around any more.

 

Time to fight!!

 

George

I really think you should follow the correct complaints proceedure first and complain to the FOS.Court should be the last resort IMO

1) have you made an official complaint in writing about the charges?

2) do you have a full breakdown of the charges plus the interest charged on the charges?

3) are they including them in arrears figures?

Not that I have seen it happen but they could possibly take retalitory action if you do get a refund .What would be your course of action then?

Well I sent a letter of complaint to them, about the £115 fee, but all I got was standard waffle and a copy of their fees leaflet. So now I will write again and ask again, and tell them that if I do not receive a satisfactory explanation then I will take it further. I'm still being threatened with repo, cos I was late with a payment.

Write and ask them for a complete breakdown of the arrears and charges, if you need to defend repo in court you can show the judge they are not claiming the correct amount - and judges don't like that!

Please see my posts, I am going through the complaints proceedure now. They have 15 days left to reply before I complain to the FOS. All of my letters are on my posts.

 

My repayment mortgage is £409 per month at the moment. I pay £750 a month to clear my arrears and my balance is not going down at all due to these rediculous charges for nothing!

I've just done a letter to SPML asking if I can pay £120 each week, which covers the monthly payment plus a bit. I said I can't see the point of repossessing me when I've got the place for sale and at least 2 viewings a week. Seems like they just love doing it!

I also note that the LIBOR rate is now below 1% so my monthly payment should come down as well.

Who do I complain to now? Apparently I should have had a court appearance at the end of August, but never received notification! It wasn't sent recorded, so it now looks as if I ignored it! Any thoughts, anyone?

Can you back track a little and say what's happened?

 

What was the hearing for and did the lender notify you? None of the paperwork from the courts or the lender would have been sent recorded delivery. You can have any judgement set-aside on the grounds that you weren't notified but you need to act quickly.

Oh boy, here we go again. Just had a call from Capstone saying I had a hearing this morning, with regard to a 3 month rreview. As I knew nothing of it, I wasn't there. Basically they are going to repossess on 18th Jan unless I increase payments. I have contacted the court to get a N245 form to fill in and send back, and have tried contacting CAB but number is permanently engaged, and the other number, no answer. Any advice, anyone? Great timing with Christmas and all that. The gut at Capstone was not rude, but not helpful either.

Spoke to Capstone, as long as I maintain extra £50 per month eviction will be on hold. My question is, I've still received nothing in writing from anyone (court, solicitors, SPML, Capstone) about the court decision on 21st Dec. Is this right? Also going to local Shelter office if not snowed in later this week.
