    • 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.

I just had an email from computeach urging me to verify my details

they say they have agreement with Barclays partner finance to continue my training as it was with advent.

 

Read on....

 

 

We recently wrote to you regarding the fact that Computeach has made arrangements with Barclays Partner Finance to continue the provision of IT training services to ex-Advent Computer Training Limited (Advent) customers.

 

You now have the opportunity to continue your studies and take advantage of the many improvements we can offer over Advent’s services. The right training combined with our job search services will put you in a prime position to achieve your true potential.

 

Barclays Partner Finance has ensured that the training services you financed can be provided by sourcing and funding Computeach as your alternative provider. Through our appointment as the alternative provider Barclays have fulfilled their obligation to you under your finance agreement and you are still obliged to pay their loan. It therefore makes absolute sense for you to confirm your details with us so you can re-start the training for those new skills that are so vital to your future and make the most of your financial investment.

 

Rest assured that this training will not cost you anything extra over and above what you have already agreed to pay Barclays Partner Finance.

 

Already, ex-Advent students are using our on-line forums and praising our services:

 

“Couldn't agree more that the support from Computeach is vastly superior to anything we got from advent. I'm now a lot happier doing the studying and actually feel like I can get the course completed now in something of a respectable timeline.”

Sorbicol 22/04/2010

 

Anyone know who that student is supposed to be.. its all lies

 

so arogant.. no one asked me for my input.. and the choice is computeach or else!!!!

 

Some choice.. no thanks computeach

Im just getting rid of the post what i just post coz in the time it took to write about three people said what I was going to.

 

That line about it not costing anymore seems completely contrary to what has been previously said.

 

Nothings changed as far as i can see.

LOL!!! thats barclays pestering them to sign more up i bet, in actual fact i would go so far to say why would Computeach bother us again could they be in a bad financial position? : probably are barclays leaning on them to sign more of us up ?: probably.

 

 

They know most of us picked advent over them in the first place and they as must Barclays realise that they are just not good enough.

Please remove my email address from your mailing list, having investigated your company I find you pitiful and I will never sign to join your sub-standard training programs. My agreement with BPF is in dispute and I have absolutely no intention of joining Compucrap.

They're a bit confused we've got an IT training co(hihimm) trying to get us to pay a loan, and we've got a Bank trying to give us training co

 

Think maybe they will be snookered if they can't say that X amount of us have accepted this the strength is in numbers and not buckling.

They may be getting in a panic now and more power to the guys at the Demo wish I could be there but I'm too far away.That will have a good effect.

Who is participating in the protest tomorrow? i am going to go to represent us, the protest has been approved by the police now too. Barclays have called the organiser asking us to cancel already. This is the first time Barclays have ever taken any proactive action.

Hey Fuzz,

 

i was wondering, the lawyer that has taken our case, how much will he charge if we win this? my sis poited it out to me and i do not know.

 

Hi Maygav,

In case Fuzz is busy I can tell you that if we win this you will have to pay nothing Barclay will have to pay and costs.

If we lose the insurers that the legal team get funded by pay

 

So at the end of the day it won't cost us anything

That`s a bit different case (Fraser/McKenzie scammed students). These guys signed contract for IT training with guaranteed job at the end. So it was simmilar to Advent promisses. Of course it was to beatifull to be true. At this minut BPF is paying back/cancelling their loans. So keep positive ! We have chance to win too !

Same as me I can't believe I agreed to any of it and was due to start paying in march the lump sum after the 1yr interest free and cos of all this I didn't pay and the B's have added the interest more than doubled the debt.

 

I was supposed to be in a brill job and being able to pay for all this they said:eek:
