      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By dx100uk · Posted

      thread title updated moved to overseas debt forum. sadly as they are outside any UK jurisdiction upon DCA rules which state in the UK they must not call employers, there not alot you can do to stop these scammers. make sure you totally make private ALL social media twitter/facebook/linked in etc etc as there no-way for them to findout where you work otherwise so you must have a leak somewhere. find it. your employer details arent even legally available to UK DCA's so how have they found it out to date???  simply write to the BANK informing them of your correct and current address ALWAYS!!. if you want to arrange payment or not TO THE BANK ONLY thats upto you. never ever ignore a Statutory Demand a Letter Of Claim a Court Claimform. if if if any of those ever happen. till then ignore and rewash. dx

      IDRWW/J&P - Emirates (HSBC) loan/Card

      By Easywayout · Posted

      Hello All,  I’m hoping someone can help me urgently here. Firstly, I’d like to say I have read multiple other threads and have some what an idea of what I should be doing, however my case might be slightly different so coming with my own questions here.    my situation is I lived in Dubai and had a credit card and a loan, loan with HSBC and credit card with Emirates (or the other way round), I lost my job and was forced to leave the country as I was staying in the country on my companies visa.    since coming back, after a few years 2 different debt collections agencies have been approaching me (one being IDRW and the other J&P). I’ve never answered IDRWW and they constantly chase me by calling and messaging me and my employer. My current company is ok with this as I explained the situation but I’m soon to be joining a new company who definitely won’t be ok with being messaged and called. I’m afraid to continue to ignore them as they may message and calm the new employer as they have before and I’ll lose my job. However, it seems clear from these forums that dealing with the debt collection agencies is never a good idea. You shouldn’t agree to the amount or pay anything.    j&p caught me on my phone but I still haven't sent them any money or confirmed the amount they’re saying is owed, they keep pushing to pay off the “principal” amount by making monthly payments, from reading these forums it seems like if I make one of those payments (they have provided bank details for ENBD), then it’ll just be paying off interest and not actually clearing the principle debt and the bank won’t even approve receipt of payment or that it’s coming off principle.    this is my predicament as ignoring them might not be an option if they chase my new employer. Maybe there’s a way to ensure the debt collection agency don’t contact my new employer?? I don’t know? Massively appreciate peoples help here. Thanks,

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

My little Godson who's very sick at the moment with leukemia, and is on steroids made me smile today - his big Sister made him a sausage sandwich for his breakfast, and he wanted some of last nights leftover chilli beef in it too :lol:

 

Big hugs to your Godson xx

 

I was on high dose steroids for years from a very young age. My poor mum had to cope with me asking for spag bol or mash and gravy for my breakfast on a fairly regular basis:) I never did understand why it wasn't a reasonable request for brekkie :lol:

Thank you Lexis! Yep, that's why he wanted the chilli beef too! He wakes up in the night as well wanting noodles :-D He's been taking regular steroid courses with each bout of chemo, but he's on a particularly high does this time as he's just started a new bout of several intense chemos - one in his Hickman line (which he calls his "wiggly" lol!), one oral, two intramuscular - and one in his spine too! So I'm posting him some treats off this week, as he's being soooo brave!

 

What made me smile today was Sodem's two posts on here! They had me lmaoooo! :lol:

Oh poor little soul. Kids are so resilient aren't they? I was in and out of Great Ormand Street for over 10 years and some of the things you see there just make you want to cry, but the kids all cope far better than their poor parents and carers. I didn't, I was a whingy git, but generally speaking kids cope better :D

 

I'll be crossing everything that the chemo does what it's meant to for him x

Can't imagine dealing with that burly (and the rubbish you mentioned they had at school too afterwards) - losing grandparents was hard enough for my two.

Not sure what a 'doinkie pillock' is, but it certainly sounds like something David Cameron would be.

Aww, thank you Lexis! Yes, it's GOSH he is having his treatment at, and also at his local in between - he will be fine, he has to be :-)

 

BurlyB, I don't watch much of the governments brainwashing propaganda at all on the news - but I have to say I did see Cameron with Obama! I was roflmaoooo!!! I said to my Husband - even though they were both dressed almost identical, it was like looking at "Sean Bean" and "Mr Bean".....I think you can guess who was Mr bean huh? Lol!

 

What made me smile today, was the sheer sizes of some of the sheds my Husbands been looking at - now I know we have big gardens, but It's a shed he's supposed to be buying, not a garage lmao! :lol:

It's not the size, but how you use it.
