    • 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.

OK benji,

 

We need to put together a formal disputeb letter to sort out Freds, this I can do but need info:

 

1. Name of the card issuer.#

2. The DCAs that have chased it.

3. Have any allged ''agreements'' been supplied?

4. Default Date

5. Date of last payment.

6. Do Lowell show as owners of the debt on credit files.

Excuse my chipping in, Benji, I see you've heeded advice to respond to Fredrickson's threat and I respect your choice. However, I'm extremely concerned to see suggestions which may prompt DCAs to feel that by merely sticking LBA on a letter, CAG users can be drawn into letter tennis.

The letter quoted is the second of a standard chain of four.

Had you ignored it you would have received next another LBA, this time on Carter letterhead and finally a discount letter from Fred's. Then it goes back to the originator - Lowell in this case.

I present this info just for others viewing who may receive the same tripe. As I said, I am not attempting to deflect you Benji from your chosen path and I understand your position, so good luck to you. I am just averse to giving these dogs bones to enjoy.

Oleg. No one is giving any thing to Freds in this situation, it has become clear that these DCAs are becoming more and more litigious particulary Lowells who are involved here, your scenario is may occasionally occur but is not definite.

Lowells will take action themselves or get an assignee to do it for them.

Hi Everyone OH has a completely unenforceable debt orinally with a bank for CC, been though the hands of 14 different DCAs' and keeps getting passed on. For the last 2 years lowlife keep passing it around their tame underlings - now going round for second time.My question is should I bother to reply with prove it type letters and serious dispute go aways ( which costs me postage) or just ignore or report to OFT for harrassment?

Thank You

How do you know that it is totally unenforceable ?

 

I am assuming that it is now with Lowells, so you need to be aware that Lowells are issuing statutory demands like confetti at the present time . They do not seem at all concerned that many of them are being set aside.

Hi Benji,

 

When is this going to SB, as citizen B has said Lowell throwing SDs around on relatively small debt.

How much does it cost a company like Lowells to issue a SD?

 

Is there a cost in getting it set aside?

 

If it is set aside can one claim any compensation for it being issued in the first place?

A SD has no court fee attached to it, I could write one now and given that it contains all the relevant details it is legal.

There is a cost of £45.00 if a hearing is not required (uncontested set aside) or £80 .00 if a hearing is needed, fees are

paid up front.

Thank you Brig, I presume the fees are paid by the writer of the SD.

Do we have any stats on what percentage of contested SDs Lowells or any of the other scumbags continue to press to court?

The recipient of the SD pays for the set aside up front, the issue of a Stat demand may have cost for the claimant eg process servers fees.

 

The majority of the Lowell SDs we have seen on CAG have been successfully been challenged I have dealt with some recently elsewhere that have also been set aside.

So if this procedure costs the Debt owner nothing and automatically costs the debtor £45/£80 to contest why do all of them not do this it seems like a stick to beat all debtors with that costs nothing.

 

Seems extremely unfair that it cost them nothing but the debtor has to pay to defend. As I presume the debtor is in the smelly stuff if the SD is uncontested?
