    • 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.

If they ring again, "TELL THEM TO SEND A COPY OF THEIR COMPLAINTS PROCEDURE, AND THAT ALL CORRESPONDENCE MUST BE IN WRITING"

Then put the phone down, you must "STOP TALKING TO THEM OVER THE PHONE":-x:-x

Report them to the OFT and Trading Standards via Consumer direct, for their continued harassment in seeking payment against a disputed debt.

 

I bet you were half way convinced to accepting the offer?

 

That is exactly why you shouldn't speak to them over the phone.

They have offered you that amount because they know they cannot legally enforce or collect any money from you because their paper work is not in order.

The Debt purchacers will probably only pay about 10p in the pound.

 

The offer that they make to you will in all probability be a short settlement not a full one. This means that they can sell the ballance on and the collection process will start over again for the ballance.

i'm not sure that a short settlement means that they can sell the balance on- obviously an unscrupulous creditor may try it on it you dont get the written assurances

 

My understanding of a short settlement is a lump sum (sometimes an agreed payment plan) of a lesser amount than that is owed in order to conclude the matter whereupon the credit file is marked accordingly(and damaged obviously)

 

it should still be done as a full and final settlement and the undertaking not to pursue the balance obtained

My MBNA contract arrived today, well its more of an application form.

My details, name address, and my signiture on it too.

It is dated 1996.

Its actually a leaflet that you normally get in magazines offering you a credit card. I remember in the nineties, every magazine use to have loads of credit card companies leaflets.

 

Other details it has on it, where I work and weekly earning.

 

Any views can this stand.

Do I need to explain that to them.

Mortgage debt is a priority debt just like council tax, credit cards are secondary debts and even more so when they dont appear to have an enforceable agreement. They have no business asking about your mortgage

 

If you are unable to scan up the mBNA application for advice on enforceability, take a look on this thread and let us know if you spot one similar or the same to yours. (Its a long thread with lots of MBNA toilet paper)

MBNA did all this with me promising me a settlement over the phone to which I never got in writing (yet I chased & chased!!) They eventually defaulted me in Jan this year then took me to court in July which I'm still battling on with now. My CCA (Priority Application form should I say) was from 2000 & I had a faulty DN served on me aswell. http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/185814-court-papers-help-required.html

 

I think the judge in my case looked favourably on my side on the day tho due to the fact I had still been paying them (£20mth) until the court case so showed willing (I owed £11.5k on this card, but I do have another card with them also for a similar amount too). I also showed a letter from Dec to the judge I sent to MBNA in trying to come to an agreement of settling the debt (all being 25-35% of the amount outstanding), again it showed I had tried to come to an agreement with them. Maybe you could do a letter of this kind along the lines of

 

you may be in a position if funds were available of £xx.xx which represents 35% off the outstanding balance and is all that you can propose.

This offer is made on the clear understanding that if accepted, both you or any associate company will not take any further action to enforce or pursue this debt any further and I will be released from any liability.

 

I also request, that if accepted, you will mark any entry on a credit reference agency file relating to the above account as “satisfied” in full.

 

Should MBNA still ignore it then at least you have your copies should you ever follow down the same footpath as me.

no- unless you want to ssettle as it is clear they do !

personally i would still go the no cca route,then send them the acc indespute letter,while in despute they cannot threaten you with what they" MAY" or may not do if you do not pay straight away,i think as they are chasing you for this settlement payment that the cca paper work is none existant and they know it,so getting any amount of money out of you is a result.borrowing off somone else to pay this debt is not really the answer as you will still owe the debt but to someone else,good luck.:)

getting you to discuss over the phone, a ficitious offer to settle is their way of finding out if you have any funds available

 

the best response is to write to them and ask them to state in writing what the "substantial discount" is that they are offering

IMHO they are clutching at straws, if they 'STILL' haven't provided you with a legally enforceable CCA then you have absolutely no obligation to enter into any repayment settlement they send you.

 

Have you sent them the account in dispute letter??

 

If so then they should not be asking you to enter into any settlement offers.

 

If you haven't sent it then you should do so immediately as has been previously advised to you by numerous other CAGgers, including myself.

 

Otherwise as it appears you aren't to willing to take others advice and the settlement figure is to your liking then pay them, and wait until the amount they are not going to pursue you for gets flogged off to another DCA.

Hi yousef1973,

 

Whilst its a personal choice whether your happy to pay the amount or not I feel you need to be warned the statement above says nothing about selling off the remaining debt, it clearly states you will not have to pay off the remaining balance with MBNA and that they will not chase but if it were me and for such large amounts (counting the x's) I would just like in writing clarification that the remainder of the debt will not be sold on.

 

Thats my only concern with it, at the end of the day its you who knows your circumstances better than anyone else.

HI

 

I SAW ANOTHER SETTLEMENT LETTER POSTED ON THIS FORUM, SHOULD I REQUEST SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LETTER BELOW AS FOLLOWS

 

Attention: Mr XXXXX

 

 

 

As per our conversation on the 17th April 2009 I am pleased to advise you that Mbna would like to accept your offer of £2265.00 to partially settle your Mbna credit card account.

 

 

 

This means that the remaining £6778.25 will be written off and you will never be pursued for the remaining debt on the account. Once the £2265.00 is received I can confirm this will be full and final settlement on the account, however, will be registered as a partial settlement on your credit file for six years.

 

 

 

I hope this clarifies the situation and If you can kindly organise payments with Allan your account manager on receipt of this email on 01244 xxxx Ext: 1xxxx that will be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Yours Kindly,

Edited by yousef1973

You said your CCA was from 1996 so likely to be a pants agreement and MBNA know it, they should be glad of any amount from you in all honesty.

 

Take the bull by the horns & go with what YOU want to settle with them (25% of the outstanding amount roughly or less perhaps ;)) and put the letter together as per what diddydicky states above or a bit of whats prev been posted.....after all you've got nothing to lose and everything to gain, its them that will have everything to lose should they ever want to take it any further!
