    • 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 abi82

I recently reveived a penalty charge notice in leeds from uk cps ltd. i wasnt the driver however I am waiting for all the threatening letters to arrive. I will be ignoring them too, so stay strong and don't pay. I have spent some time on here reading similar stories and I havent found anyone who has been taken to court by these [problematic].

Can you imagine if indeed they did take someone to court and lost. That would be the end of their sordid business as the media would have a field day and nobody would ever pay again. It is just not worth them taking you to court and losing so they will just try and bully you instead. They work on a percentages game. If a certain percentage pay, they make a worthwhile profit. Don't pay and stay strong !!

You seem to have grasped the idea ;)

Judge says Excel parking fines illegal - Mansfield Chad

 

Sadly though its not really a media storey that is likley to change anything and the Powers That Be don't seem to keen to actually sort the problem out. The DVLA certainly have a vested interest in so much as the get a few pounds for ever RK request they get from these PPC's. They won't want to stop the gravy train.

 

PPC's will continue for the forseeable future and unwary people will get caught out. Some who may even contact their local CAB and be told they have no option but to pay !

 

Best you can do is let family and friends know how the system works so they don't get caught out.

Your are solid. Do not contact them or mention who the driver was on any forum on by PM to anyone. Loss in small claims means nothing. What we want is for them to win in small claims and then get appealed up to a court of record. They have to very careful who they take to court on the very rare occasions they try it on. the seeds of their own destruction lie waiting there :)

bit spooked out with letter it is really arsey:

Graham White

notice of intended legal action

 

You were written to by LDK Security and their agent Roxburghe requesting the settlement of a CIVIL PARKING CHARGE. Due to the absence of payment, or a valid appeal, our client has instructed us to proceed with legal action to recover amount due.

 

therefore, it is a legal requirement to send notice of INTENDED LITIGATION before legal proceedings are issued in the county court. This letter fulfils this requirement.

 

TAKE NOTE; the costs associated with issuing a claim is as follows:

claim issue fee £30

Solicitors cost for issuing claim £50.00

Judgment costs £25.00

Warrant issue fee £100.00

solicitors fee for issuing warrent £2.25

TOTAL ADDITIONAL COSTS £207.25

Any judgement registered against you could seriously affect your chances of obtaining credit in the future, as this information can be made available to any interested parties via the register of judgements, orders and fines and remains there for 6 years.

 

in the event of a judgement order not being adhered to, we may instruct Bailiffs to attend at your address who are authorised to seize goods for sale at public auction in the amount claimed plus all statutory interest.

 

please contact us with your proposals for settlement within 7 days to avoid the possibilty of this action

 

yours sincerely

so sorry to go on x

If you do some word searches in the forum with some of the words in your letter, you will find that the same tat has been copied by lots of people on CAG. It's a standard letter with lots of "ifs" and "maybes" none of which will actually happen.

as it says INTENDED LITIGATION, maybe sometime, maybe next year, maybe never

 

these **** of solicitors think they are some sort of god and you will do what they tell them

 

they wont go near a County Court with these cases , because they know they dont have a case in the first place

Most of the people that are helping you have a LOT of green reputation

marks under their user names, in fact, Michael has the highest achievable.!

So take comfort from the fact that you're being well advised.

 

Please do continue to ignore as advised, as you're close to the end of the

process now before they give up and move onto another mug.

 

Good luck and best wishes, Dave.. :-)

deep breaths and ignore

 

thanks - all your help is appreciated x

 

Swap your deep breaths for a Glass of Red Wine - no need to panick !

 

"Micheal Sobell" is a solictor who rather than use his own name trades using the name very similar to a rather more reputable firm.

 

You might also note on the letters you have that the phone number for Roxburghe is just one digit different to that you have from "Graham White" - strange that they are just a desk away from each other in the same room.

 

Fear not ;)

Somewhat of a different situation and not really connected to the OP of this thread.

 

If you indeed did receive a PCN - choosing to ignore a PCN, subsequent correspondence (Notice to Owner and so on) and not either paying it or challenging it in the correct manner will land you in doodaa.

 

I'd suggest you start a new thread and post pictures (with personal details removed) of the PCN you received - both back and front.

No, the ticket Blagton was refering to was issued by the Council (who have real powers). Not the clowns you are dealing with.

P.S. You are NOT a pain.

Don't panick - you are doing the correct thing - sit back and have another glass of wine.

 

If you look again at my you quote you will see it was in responce to Ruthill who hijacked your thread with his own situation of a council issued PCN. This is not the same as a PPC issued Invoice.
