    • 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.

Cheers for that CB. I've just had another letter from Moorcroft dated 18th June stating they're going to be sending someone round, so I think I'll be sending in my complaint to TS about them:rolleyes:

 

They'd better be careful if they do venture round as following my trip to my sisters last weekend I've got a brand new attack kitten. Yes, at the moment my wall and my completely stationary foot are wishing they'd never been born.

 

Oh, and on OH's other (defaulted and terminated) BOS account, he got another default notice. Dated 16th June, received here on Saturday, remedy date BEFORE 17th June:D:lol::D

 

:lol: Oh dear, "attack" kitten.. :eek:

 

You watch them say that was a computer / human error :rolleyes:

 

If you havent already made a complaint to Trading Standards, I really think now is the time to do it, Lexis. I shouldnt think you will have any problems.. after all, I cant think of one OFT guideline.. they HAVENT breached.

Yep, I'm going to get on that CB as it's got a bit silly now I think!

 

Elsa - quite right; I'd noticed that but it didn't occur to me that it's a nice way of tying them in (why would it, it's only what the last few posts have been about:D:rolleyes:)

Never heard of them - do BlairOS count themselves as sols then? It's been so long since OH's had a letter from them I can't remember what they call themselves!

Just updating.

 

OH came back yesterday to a DN that was delivered on Saturday (20th).

 

This is the third on this (terminated in writing) account, but it beats the other two.

 

Dated the 16th June, the remedy date is BEFORE the 17th June. Ok then, I'll just set my payments mandate on my online banking to 'last week'. That should do it:rolleyes:

Maybe to Nominet too ;)

What is a registrant?

A registrant is the individual or organisation (e.g. limited company, partnership, sole trader etc) that registers a specific domain name. This individual or organisation holds the right to use that domain name for a specified period of time (two years for a domain name ending in .uk ). This person or organisation is the ‘legal entity’ bound by the terms and conditions of the domain name registration agreement with Nominet.

Wouldn't exactly call Hbos a sole trader...

Now there's a question. I have just looked at their headed paper and it states quite clearly... Debt Collectors ? I have always believed them to be Solcitors.. where did I get that idea from:confused:

 

In which case, a straight forward complaint to the whole bag of them to Trading Standards seems in order.

I'd probably go with option 2, but then I'm not terribly organised so generally have a bit of an issue getting anything out quickly anyway:D

Hi lexis,

Sorry for the entrance.

I would like to SAR them as so far I have send everything else.

Although they have defaulted me 4 times, and their stupid template letters are coming through, which by the way I keep ignoring them in the same way as they do me, I stil do not pay them a penny(4 months down the line).

Anyway, would you please check if you have in your store any template I could use???

thanks in advance,

DD :-|

Hi London000

 

No worries, the more the merrier:)

 

I'd suggest using the template in the letters section on the forums if you're wanting to get an SAR out to them. It's been re-jigged at some point so it's pretty exact on what you want from them now.

 

They were pretty good with the stuff they sent for the SAR for my OH - only a few bits missing. I can't remember how quick they were now, but I don't remember it being hugely over limit or anything.

 

If it was something else you are after just let me know and I'll see what I have:)

Hi Lexis again,

 

I would like to ask if you know by any chance if I can use the same SAR I used for the statements (unfair charges) as I know I have paid the max £10.00 and I believe that they did not use the whole amount just disclose these statements....or shall I just try my luck and after send them a £10.00 cheque. I come to think now that If I have used the CPR would I not be entitled to everything they keep and have kept all these years about me???:confused:

Hi London:)

 

Sorry, I've only just remembered you posted:oops:

 

I think it depends on when you sent the last SAR, if we're talking 6+ months I think you'll probably have to do a new one. If it's less it's certainly worth asking them to comply with the previous one.

 

I don't know much about CPR stuff I'm afraid so I can't really help on that front...

Hi Lexis,

Thank you very much for your reply. I belive it was about 6+ months back when I have done it, although they have never answered..and they are with FOS at the moment.

I have mentioned it in my last letter but as we all know it, these "cubicle workers" are keep ignoring every single request.

With regards to the CPR they have to disclose everything as far as I know and that is before going to Court Action which I will consider it as I am already fed-up to keep copy and paste quotes, sites, etc (about the CCA).

As I have upseted our Dear Mrs Anne Gartshore from Halifax one of their cash machine has taken my Debit Card.....even better in court to mention as I am under the JSA...LUCKY me that I have opened another acc 2 weeks ago....:-)

In a way I should thank them as I have met very interesting people on this forum. I should add that I have taken a lot from your lovely letters...

and have been reminding me that the word " smile" is everywhere...just to look for it.

Good luck and keep in touch,

DD:-)

Hey London

Don't ever feel alone, you have no end of friends on here, who are only too willing to help you in any way that we can, evewn if it's something like this... a little booster message, (I could put a few jokes on but I fink I WILL get CAGBOTTED very quickly...) so you just have to suffer the old me, I can'tr tell you much legally but you will learn that on here it is a mind of information and friends.

A hell of a lot of us are totally peed off with these CC companies with the way we are treated but we join together and we get through it, even if its bit by bit, we nag away at them...

 

I look at it this way in my case, they took everything from me when Northern Rock hit the bottom and now we aint got nothing worth taking, No car (belongs to motability) no money, no nothing except each other, and we carry on. But the thing you have got to understand is that there are ways that you have to do things and some of them take time (the SAR gives them 40 working days I am told) so that finishes up a 8 weeks to say the least and you can't rush it, otherwise if you decide to take them to court and you have not done certain things then it can ewasily backfire on you bigtime. You have to go prepaired to take them on... I'm looking forward to my threads now, CAP1 is going to have to comply with a court order as soon as I get my pensions at the end of the month. bring it on...

 

Anyway I've rattled on enuf, take care and don't forget, we are here to support you, anytime...
