    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • 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?

    • 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.

hello i am new to this but after reading the posts i hope someone could help me.

 

me and my ex split up over 1 year ago we have house in both our names he was in work but was made redundant a few weeks ago.

 

he helped with the payment towards the mortgage and the loan we got when we took it out in jan 06 this was a secured loan,

he has 2 other personal loans with A&L amounts of ( £6000 loan left to pay £3800) and ( £5000 and left to pay £2700)

both have 2 1/2 years left on them we got them over 5 years and never missed a payment on these until now.

he also has these credit cards that were online applications

 

virgin credit card £3450 0% has just finished on this cant get another card

barclay card £3800 same on this card

MBNA £3000 0% until jan 2010 pay min of £25 month

 

i have sent letters to all these people explaining my ex situation with one of the templates off this site

and am waiting for a reply we didnt take out any insurances on any of these cards or loans as they hardly ever pay out and they cost a lot.

 

my ex has been down to the doctors as he has started drinking heavy and has depression some days

he doesnt even no what day it is i hate to see him like this and am scared of what he may do to himself

he has always worked and always paid his way.

 

he is now on benefits and has looked for work but the way things are there is nothing out there.

we are so worried as this month we cannot afford to pay these bills only the mortgage and loan on the mortgage

my parents can help a little towards this but not for long

 

 

what will happen with my home we got it from the council 3 years ago got it for £76k plus the £10k we needed for repairs to it,

the house was worth £104k and council took off £26k but put a charge on the house so that we cannot sell for 5 years

or they would want some of the money back so the bank has first charge and council 2nd if anything should happen.

we pay £350 a month for mortgage.

 

what would the best way to go about this can anyone help please.

With the credit cards you can send CCA requests to the creditors. They will send back a copy of the agreement which if you scan it remove personal details and post back up, we can have a look at to see whether it's enforceable. Start a new thread for each card. Send them this letter recorded delivery enclosing a £1 postal order & do not sign the request, just print his name. http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter.html They have 12 working days to provide you with an enforceable agreement. If they fail to do so you can send an 'In dispute' letter and withold payment until they do.

 

You don't mention whether there are any excess charges on his cards. If there are you can send a SAR which will cost £10 and they would have 40 days to provide you with the information. From this you would be able to determine what unfair charges have been made & reclaim them thus reducing the amount owed on the card. http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/576-subject-access-request-debt-a-dca.html

The important thing is to keep up with your mortgage payments, credit card debts are not classed as priority debts so they are bottom of the pecking order when it comes to repayments. They could in theory apply a Statutory Demand, but given that there are two priority charges on the property they would be unlikely to bother. They may try for CCJs against him, but this is a long way down the road. So even if they suceeded because of his circumstances a judge would only order him to make minimal payments, which could be as little as £1 per month.

 

So after saying the above, the best thing he could do at the moment would be to make token payments of £1 per month to his creditors. Some credit card companies will accept this for a time without too much fuss, whilst others can be a bit tetchy about it. But it doesn't matter as long has he can show that he is making some attempt.

hello

 

 

i have a few credit cards that were made online,

is there any point in sending a cca request as people dont have a leg to stand on with these,

 

 

i have sent off for cca as my ex lost his job and cannot afford the repayments so not trying to get out of paying but the cca were sugested to me in my last post

 

 

i feel what is the point if they were taken out online

so they have a digital tick were you are ment to sign.
