    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. Anyway 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.

Hello,

 

Ive just rec'd the above for an amount of £7382.00.

 

It is a demand for payment and they state 'further to our previous correspondence' but Ive never received anything from them before. It is obvious to me that they're lying by stating they've sent me letters prior to the above because the haven't!

 

It talks about a notice of 'INTENDED LITIGATION' prior to court proceedings.

 

I know it's my debt but what can i do to ensure my rights are protected and I am treated fairly and honestly in this regard.

 

DO I first request the original loan agreement or is that a pointless exercise?

 

Do DCA's allow repayment plans etc or could this go to court?

 

What can i expect going forward and how do I respond to this demand?

 

I appreciate any advice whatsoever

 

Thanks in advance

A CCA request is a copy of your original Consumer Credit Agreement (CCA)

So send them the following, and PRINT YOUR NAME never sign any correspondence sent to a DCA, also send everything recorded delivery, this is so you know and have evidence of everything you send them and when they receive it the other end.

 

CCA request letter.

 

Send a £1 Postal order in with the letter also, they have 14 days from receipt of your request in which to reply with the document, if they fail to do so, or fail to provide a legally enforceable CCA then you can place the account in dispute, and withhold all/any future payments until such time as the provide one.

 

Boo;)

You can either leave it blank or address it to Rockwell, they will normally send it back to you as they will probably tell you to get the CCA off the OC (original Creditor) this automatically put's the account into dispute if they do this, well once the 14 days have passed.

 

However if they do reply with what they say is your CCA, then you need to scan and post it up on here so others can have a look at it to see if it is indeed a valid enforceable CCA, there are certain criteria it has to meet in order to be legally valid.

 

Whilst I remember what is the debt for (allegedly) and how old is it??

They very rarely do resort to going to court as it will cost them money to do so & it wouldnt be worth their while just to get back £1 per month or something like that.

You would have so many basic legal rights/rules/protections etc..it just wouldnt be worthwhile.

Thats why they resort to threats & intimidation to get you to buckle and pay up.

SD do not apologise for being in debt, do you thing gordon brown is apologetic for putting the country billions of pounds into debt!!!:confused:

 

But that is a whole other story,

Just wanted to make sure it wasn't post 2007 as the rules changed slightly for CCA's, and that it was'nt a mobile phone account or mortgage etc.

 

As MrTon says, even if they do have a valid CCA you can only pay them what 'you can comfortably afford'

 

The chances of any court action are a long way away yet.

There are various hoops they must jump through first.

expect from rockwell, not a lot they either disappear into the mists of time, then some other lowlife springs up from the eternal well of debt collectors to try their hand at conning you out of some money, or they crank up the old threat-o-matic computer and spew forth multitudes of meaningless drivel - at whcih stage you send the account in dispute letter and rockwell disappear in a cloud of sulphor

the CCA request was delivered to Rockwell and ive now got a letter from Fenton Cooper (Tessera Credit ltd) saying they seeking info from their client ie my creditor

 

Who are Fenton Cooper? Sounds like a firm of soicitors (i know they're not cos they're not Law Society registered) so i assume they're an offshoot of rockwell with a name designed to SOUND like a firm of solicitors

ive just had a quick look at what you had said about your debt ...

do all the usual ..

ie ask them to contact you via letter and never by phone....

should you accept the debt offer them a token payment plan that you know you can afford...

ask them to prove where the debt came from and the amount ..

the main thing to remember is that its a room full of idiots trying to bully people into paying what they cant afford..

think of them as wheel clampers on the end of a phone..hehe

anyway worse case scenario .. you go to court... ask the judge for an administration order... he will sit and way up what he thinks you can afford to pay and then you make those monthly payments to the court house....

if after 3 years its only paid some of the bill owed ..the rest is scrapped...

if in doubt speak to citizens advice

photocopy your hand written dated letters to rockwell, so if you offer a £5 a month payment and they refuse it .. then its there problem not yours, you have proof of your offer when your at court...

the main thing is try not to let it get you down .......... i wish you the best of luck and keep us up to date with what happens...your not on your own...x
