    • 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.

Yeah, I dont blame her! :D

 

I'd love to hear the ins and outs of this.

 

I wish people would realise that agreeing to keep schtoom is only legally binding if the other side have paid money for the "schtoom keeping", on top of the rest of the claim!

 

I guess it never made it in front of the judge. Their rep would have made an offer of settlement in the waiting room for ££££ and that was that.

Hello BL!

 

Great news.

 

Without saying what you are not allowed to say...

 

...who, exactly, asked for a gagging order?

 

Just curious if it was the DCA or the Judge.

 

I don't like it when this happens, as I feel they have no right to do this if you Won, or add it as a condition to any Payment to you.

 

I appreciate you may be constrained from saying too much.

 

Cheers,

BRW

First things first - congratulations Berrylover for taking on the enemy and getting a positive result.

 

Everybody who successfully takes this step can justifiably feel that they have not only gained a victory for themselves, but also made a crucially important contribution in helping to build a fairer and more decent world.

 

The gagging is worrying, though. I'm sure we'd all like to know exactly who or what has imposed this.

 

In this war, the bad guys have traditionally held the upper hand. There are many contributing factors. Firstly, the system is inherently biased towards money, and equally biased against people. Court cases are nothing more than games for large institutions - no different from a little punt on the horses. Some cases will be won, and some will be lost. At the end of the day, each individual result doesn't matter, so long as the overall profit figure is good enough.

 

Whatever the result of each individual case, no-one's life changes. Everyone will go home and eat the same dinner, sleep in the same bed, and be back at work the next morning sitting at the same desk. It has no more consequence than the result of the Grand National or the office sweepstake.

 

How different the world is for the "little guy". Here, the result of one court case can determine the entire direction of the rest of their life. Everything that has been painstakingly built up over a lifetime can be wiped out in one fell swoop, often on a technicality.

 

This is another fundamental reason for the unfairness of the system. Every institution fights many cases, often with the same lawyers. As with any other skill, it is inevitable that practice will improve their performance.

 

The layman, on being presented with a court claim which could change his life dramatically for the worse, is often like a rabbit frozen in the headlights. Faced with deadlines and panic, and faced with a situation he has no experience or knowledge of, it is inevitable that mistakes will be made.

 

That is why the gathering of intelligence is so important. Every piece of experience which can be logged will reduce the disadvantage faced by the litigants of the future. Every time the same rough ground is trod, it becomes smoother for those following behind.

 

I am certain there is a very genuine reason for the non-disclosure, otherwise I'm sure the information would be forthcoming. Would it not be possible to disclose the details of the case privately, to a member of the site team, so that the general concepts could then be made available to any future potential litigants?

Sorry, I cannot see the point of this thread. There are no details of the case or the legal argument. It starts with the OP taking a DCA to court and then he says he won?

 

On what grounds was the action taken and what was the legal argument and judgment? Just says he is not allowed to say.
