    • 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.

I told them last August to take me to court - they haven't .

 

With Debitarse threat-o-grams I have twice asked for a copy of my orginal signed agreement under pre action court procedures - never got a reply.

 

Soooooo speaks volumes of the enforceability of these 'agreements'

 

Beachy

Hi Beachy if you used CPR procedure to get to look at original!and they did not reply it does indeed speak volumes! :Dso as my ccca identical to yours! Dosent look like i will be getting an invite to go to Nottingham or London to look at mine then!At least if any action taken against us on our Crap one accounts we can tell judge that we tried to save court time by making a reasonable request to see the originals!:D

Hi Sunflower

 

Seems there are a number of us who have received the same “agreements” from Crap One. What we need is to find out exactly where we all stand and I think the best way to do this is for someone to call there bluff.

 

As I have stated on my thread my situation is such that even if they went to court and won I would be no worse off, with that in mind I am happy to act as the guinea pig.

 

I will write to them stating that I doubt the validity of these documents, that I will not pay them a brass farthing and if they want to take the matter to court the had better get on with it

 

I will draft a letter and post it to get other’s input before I send it, but that will have to wait until tomorrow as I am off out for a pint

Hi Nosnibor! Good on you! It looks like by Beachys experience Crap one do not have anything to show us!:DDrat no nice day out to Nottingham!

Don't worry missdpd, they sent mine speccy delivery the day before it was due. Of course it had been compiled nearly 3 weeks earlier, but apparently they like to keep you guessing.

Is this a new ploy?

 

OH & I have both been 'terminated' however, OH keeps getting emails stating that latest statement is available online, when trying to log on OH is told to ring for new password.

 

Have absolutely no idea what charges are being added to this account.

Are they not sending you paper statements beachcomber?

 

If not it's a bit odd to decide to let you have them online (or not as the case may be!)

 

If you've been terminated I don't think they are meant to add charges etc are they?

Wow, ! I've finally found the Cap 1 crowd...I'm having some fun with Ellie Renshaw myself...in response to my cca request they tried to fob me off with a current t&c's...obviously this triggered the dispute letter..

 

and to be fair they did stop calling for a while...

 

but now they're back.. and Ellie has Kindly sent me a signed copy of my cca..

 

Trouble is.. i'm sure it's hookey, and has been cobbled together from other docs ... there are odd "ghost" images of a bleed from the other side of the document which just don't add up..

It also had printed my name and address on it -- something i can never recall signing or seeing..

 

I need to dispute it but wouldn't mind the opinion of those who've seen more of these than me..

 

my thread here..I'v a couple of other caggers TOXIC, tracy, etc having their own battles with mbna etc ..who have been helpful.. ut i've not come across anyone yet who has had quite the same paperwork as me..

If your accounts have been terminated, remember to check the default notices are lawful. They sent me something they called a default statement - it was no more a default notice than fly in the air. They have now shot themselves in the foot. The only thing they could have charged me for is any arrears and there were none - the account was frozen. So either there was no agreement (it was unenforceable of course) or if they claim there was an agreement, they have terminated it before they sent a default notice and cannot collect the capital. I told them that - total silence - goodbye Crappies!:D

Hi beachcomber

 

Well yes and no, if that makes any sence.

The said i was terminated, than i got a letter saying they would accept my £1 token payment for 6 months.

They then stopped sending me my monthly statements, so i don't no how much interest there putting onto my account.

Hi Beachcomber

 

Well there was another way i went round paying the Token payments.

Firstly i never paid using a Postal Order, i used to pay a £1 cash and used there Monthly Statement and it into the Bank.

That way they would have to accept the payment, or return it back to me explaining why there not accepting payment.

Which if they did that wouldn't go down to well with the judge if it went to Court.

I posted the letter up on my Capital 1 thread.

Didn't think about doing it that way! Theywouldnt accept national debt line budget (or their own) without seeing items listed in my last thread, so I set up a standingvorder thro' the bank - no payments have ever been returned - so I hope if or when it ever comes to court a judge would ask them a few questions ! ! !

The problem with Capital One is that they don't follow the law and they have a LEGAL services company which doesn't UNDERSTAND the law. Told last night's moron that if he wanted some bedtime reading he should try the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Clearly, he didn't have a clue what I was talking about. Ended up yelling "Where is my agreement? Where is my agreement?" about 20 times and hung up on him.

 

I have now advised Capone and Debitas that they cannot sell a debt when it is in dispute, and I am sure you have done the same.

 

Actually, they have always had one particularly dodgy thing which is this:

 

They will only accept debit card payments if you are in arrears and if you send a cheque the payment has to have cleared into your account by the due date. Every other company I have had cards with will accept a payment if it is received by cheque on the due date and you don't incur a penalty, or if you call on the due date you can pay by debit card.

 

In other words, Capone try everything they can to get late payment fees. If they can accept debit cards, they can accept them on any day of the month.

 

Most of us tend to think of our payment date as the date quoted on the statement. However, if for example, Capital One says you have to pay on the 10th of the month and this is a Tuesday, you have to be certain your cheque arrives by Friday, 6th and is credited to your account on that day, so you have to post on Thursday, 5th at the very latest. If the post is late, you incur a penalty fee. If they have a backlog in processing payments you incur a fee.

 

There may be other card companies who do this as well. If they do they are just like Capone, and we all know what we think of them.

If someone has pointed this out already then I'm sorry for repetition but Debitas and Capital One are one and the same (as the very faint pastel writing at the bottom of their letters confirms). What they mean is that they are fed up paying for international calls from their Indian call centre and will harass you from Nottingham again.

 

Apologies for the cynicism!
