    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Opened account in 1998 ish.

 

Sent CCA request on 28th Feb 09 and received a copy of current T&Cs and a current agreement - blank but my name, address and card number printed on the back. The "agreement" refers to £12 charges (2006) and chip and pin (2006-7) as well as numerous other anomalies.

 

Sent a letter stating that this is not a "true copy" and the nice Ms Renshaw sent me a letter advising that it was a true copy, was enforcible (and pay up:p). She also told me I could go to the FOS if i was unhappy.

 

Sent a default notice, highlighting the anomalies, to which Ms Renshaw (she must be crippled with RSI ,all the letters she types:cool:) restated the position from the previous letter. Confirmed that the agreement sent was a true copy, enforcible etc etc. Also, the agreement had been updated with changes as appropriate. If I was unhappy, go to the FOS. No further communication would be entered into etc.

 

Replied that the agreement was either a true copy or updated, it couldn't be both. They admit to updating therefore it can't be a true copy - awaiting reply.

 

Anyone know why they are so keen to push you at the FOS - is it because they feel that the FOS are not strong enough to sort anything out (or too busy)?

 

I've withheld payment so lots of calls from the goons in the Phillipines. One told me, when I started talking about CCA 74 compliance, "Act, what Act, I'm not interested in an Act. You are in arrears, I must take a payment today........etc"

 

He didn't get one.

 

Anyone else been here? What is the established wisdom, going forward?

 

Any help appreciated

Hi Stubie:)

 

This is the standard response to a CCA request, and unfortunatley you won't get further with it.

 

Next step would in my opinion be to SAR them (template letter is in the letters section). They have to send the actual agreement for this, although they may still be a bit naughty (mine has turned up with my sig on one side with no prescribed terms, and a very obviously not related set of terms copied onto the back:rolleyes:). It will also give you information about other things which may be of some use to you.

 

It's £10 (postal order unless you can get someone to sign a cheque for you), and the cost of Recorded or Special delivery (don't be tempted to go for un-registered - they will deny receiving it).

 

The statement about compliance and enforceability is also very normal, but very flawed. They can fully comply but not have anything enforceable, or vice versa. Or they can fully comply and send an enforceable agreement! What you have at the moment is unenforceable and non-compliant, so the lovely Miss Renshaw is once again telling big fat porkies.

 

With regards to the FOS - I think you're about right. They seem to be less than helpful with this sort of thing, although occasionally they surprise everyone.

 

Also, you need to get a 'writing only' letter out to them (template in the library as well). In addition, every time they call just repeat parrot fashion 'I do not talk about financial matters over the phone. Please write.' If they don't let it go then, just tell them very politely you are going to hang up as you will not discuss it. There really isn't any point in getting into it with them regarding the CCA - they either won't know enough/anything about it, or they simply thing you're a debt avoider and will start moralising. It gets you nowhere. Of if you just want to wind them up go ahead - it's always fun to bait DCA's:) Oh, and buy a recorder if you can!

 

Sounds like you're handling them well at the moment, so maybe try those suggestions and see where it gets you:)

Hi Lexis2000,

 

Thanks for dropping by:)

 

I re-read my original post and noticed I hadn't put in about the SAR. I have sent one but I'm not sure if I registered it. I will check but I wonder if the PO being cashed would qualify as evidence of receipt? Again, I haven't checked the PO so will do some homework tonight and see what I actually did.

 

I will wait to see if the SAR turns up before troubling the FOS, had mixed experience of them - not related to the CCA.

 

I'm also curious as to whether I will get a reply from Ms Renshaw (does anyone know if she really exists?). The letter stated that an acknowledgement only would be sent but I wonder if they will leave it when my letter rubbishes the entire contents of her last missive - time will tell.

 

I've read a number of success stories but they don't seem to quantify what was won - I haven't read all of them, by any means.

 

My preferred outcome would be to have the agreement declared, or acknowledged, unenforcible and get a refund of the balance of payments to expenses. I've spent the money and will pay it back but would like a refund of the balance. This will amount to a couple of grand as I have rarely used the card in recent years but let the interest roll - stupid really but there you are. I've just lost my job so the money will be really useful.

 

Is this likely, in your opinion?

 

Thanks again

 

Stubie

 

P.S. How do you do one of those pictures next to your name, I've got to get one of those:D

Hi again:)

 

Ok, so if you've SAR'd, going only by my experience you can expect them to go beyond their 40 days and only send anything when you threaten them with the ICO.

 

Ellie is real - she's on facebook! - but she's off on maternity leave at the moment (poor kid) so don't believe anything 'signed' by her is actually from her. TBH I'd be amazed if you get anything other than their standard template letters anyway:rolleyes:

 

I'm afraid I have no idea about the likelihood of what you want to happen actually happening. The only way to have it declared unenforceable would be to go to court, but it seems that Cap1 are reluctant to do this (wonder why...). With regards to getting the balance back, again it's a court matter and probably luck of the draw on getting a sympathetic judge. Despite the fact it would seem logical (and indeed their being case law to back it up) that if there is no agreement then the money was lent with no way of adding interest, some judges will declare it unjust enrichment if you try it. I have no first hand knowledge of any of this though so you'd probably be better served by someone else answering that one!

ps - I think the pics are done in the user cp area, but I don't know how to:)

Thanks for that, sussed the pic but need to sort out the one I really want, this little chap will do for now.

 

At the moment I'm happy to sit it out and wait for cap 1 to make the next move. For some reason they have stopped bugging me on the phone so all is peaceful in the house right now.

 

Perhaps they are plotting something, or am I giving them too much credit:D

OK, Weimeraner will stay (but only if he behaves;))

 

You think that the Cap 1 bozos can read!!!!:D

 

I'm happy that they have gone quiet for now, I want to take MBNA to task first. Looking forward to a healthy payout from them. Cap 1 are next but might get promoted if they play up.

 

Set puppy on them

 

You got a vimy or just like them?

Good, it's a lovely picture:D No, I've not got one, but I've wanted one since I was about 7 as they're such stunning and good natured animals. Trouble is I'm very lazy at heart so I'm in need of lazy dogs, and unfortunately Weimeraners just aren't! - lurchers/greyhounds are ideal for me; a 2 minute burst of beautiful figure of eights and they're happy for the day:D

 

I hope you get a result with MBNA, they're many people's pet hate with their highly dubious work 'ethics' Not that cap1 are any better...:rolleyes:

 

Enjoy the silence with cap1 - we have it with BOS at the moment. It's lovely but slightly odd, and you do wonder what they're up to:D

Hmmm, you're right, they do have tons of energy, I've had two.

 

A very generous Cagger has offered me his POC to plagerise and since he won, I'm fairly hopeful too.

 

I think I will wait to see where MBNA go next before I go into bat with Cap 1.

 

Cap 1 did phone last night but the OH got to the phone first and they soon dis-appeared. Answering the phone is the sport of choise in our home at the mo and we are all disappointed when its a kosher caller.

 

I still get the occasional missive from Ms Renshaw but she seems to be getting bored (or running out of places to hide).

 

I took the trouble to do a lot of research before I engaged the CCCs as I do like to be in a position of knowledge before I take something on. It seems a bit of a waste of time to some extent as the people I am dealing with don't seem to have a clue.

 

Perhaps they have gone off to bully someone less well informed.

 

One day all consumers will find CAG and the end will be well and truly nigh for the CCCs and their minions.

Well, I got my SAR back today - 10 days early, well done Cap 1.

 

The only agreement that it contained was the one they sent mea couple of weeks ago in response to my CCA 74.

 

The only doc with my sig on it was a direct debit mandate from 2001.

 

Haven't been through all the other stuff in detail yet but there is nothing of an agreement or signed nature anywhere else in the bundle.

 

Question:

 

Do I accpt that the document is a true copy of my CCA (s172, I think) and go to court to get them to produce this document with my signature on it. I know they can't so they would be buggered on that one if I did.

 

Go the CPR 31.16 route so "en-vogue" at the moment. And try again.

 

Write to them stating that my efforts (s78(1)) and SAR have failed to yield a signed agreement. I contend that you posess no such doc. If you want any more money then sue me or go away.

 

Thoughts?

Hi Stubie

 

I'm doing something similar with Tesco PF and soon with egg.

 

With Tesco I've sent 2 cca requests and two CPR requests all I've had back is an application form after second CCA request. other than that nothing. Its now two months since i piad them.

 

I'd like to think their is an alan suggar somewhere saying to all the people who wrote these agreements up "your fired"

 

Like you I'm wondering what is best next step take them to court and get a ruling or wait 6 year s til statute barred.
