    • 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.

Very strange indeed! You're lucky he's not self concious, my friend had a really hard time as a teenager. I remember her best line ever (IMO, and she's had quite a few over the years) to one lad in school who was taking the micky out of the way she looked was "Yes, I may look strange, but at least there's a medical reason for looking the way I do, you're just f*****g ugly!!" He was being very cruel as kids are, and upsetting her. He's lucky I didn;'t slap him really. He apoligsed after as he didn't know anything was wrong with her and he kind of looked after her after that.

 

spelling isn't my best attribute lol

 

 

Would just like to say l love you mates comment to the bully.

I was just astonished that we both posted at the same time on mirror threads about Marfan's , which is such a rare condition in the first place!!! :shock: (MarFan with an "F", btw, yet another bloody Frenchman! :razz:)

We're both going to be put under the care of the Marfan Clinic at St George's Hospital in Tooting, which is apparently one of the best ones, so here goes again.

I didn't know what it was until a few minutes back when i googled it, but John Tavener has it.

The above post constitutes my personal opinion on the facts in the post compared with my personal knowledge of the applicable legislation. I make no guarantees of its legal accuracy. If you are in doubt seek advice of a legal professional specialising in the area concerned.

No I don't want to Go Compare, not at a private girls school, not whilst hovering over a new BMW on the driveway or whilst looking at a message in a bottle on a remote island in the pacific.

 

Could someone please shut that overweight opera singer up? I don't care how, just make it stop :-x

Apparently a the bloke on those ads is my OH's friends' friend and is a lovely chap. Wouldn't stop me lumping him one if I ever met him I have to say - I don't even have to see the sodding ads now, one mention of anything to do with them and the song's in my head for the entire day.

 

You'd think that's good advertising wouldn't you, but in actual fact it just made me vow to never ever use them! In just the same way as I always steered well clear of e-sure thanks to Michael Winner!

Blockbuster.

 

I cashed in this rental voucher where l was told l got 10 rentals for £4.99 l could take it on games and dvds. Handy l though cause these games and dvds arnt cheap to rent.

 

Went to get the last 3 today and was told l had been wrongly informed that l had 10 rentals for the £4.99 l only was entitled to 6 but had had 7 due to a techincality of there fault.

 

Making a complaint to Trading standards now as l have in writing there are 3 left and the guy told me the staff member was wrong and there was nothing that can be done. TS have said faulse advertising and faulsing advising buy there staff member means they will try and get me the 3 rentals and my money back.

Being clocked "speeding" on my way down to Devon. 36 mph in a 30 zone, allegedly.

 

For once in my life, I wasn't actually speeding, I was constantly below the speed limit as far as I know.

 

Fighting this all the way, of course. :mad:

I have to mirror what you both say. Go Compare is the last place I would go to. The advert makes me want to smash the telly every time I hear it (which is about 100 a day).

 

 

If all else fails, kick them where it hurts and SOD'EM;)
