    • 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.

I posted my defense on the 21st December, and was told by the court that Howard Cohen had to reply to it within 28 days. I haven't as yet heard anything from them, however, i have received a Notice of transfer of proceedings to my local court and an Allocation Questionnaire to fill out.

 

I'll need tips on filling out this form, but for the meantime i am baffled as to how Cohen can just blatantly ignore me, and how i'm supposed to defend myself with no documents at all.

You might not recieve anything from HC they are notorious for filing late at the court,not supplying you with the information you need to defend.

I have in the past got the court to send me a copy of HC paperwork.

The worse thing is that the court/judges seem to let them get away with it.

Hi, if its been transferred then HC must have responded to the courts.

When you file your AQ, you need to include a "Draft order for Directions". This will force HC to supply the documents they refer to in the POC. This will be an order made by the judge.

On the 22nd February i received a wad of documents from Howard Cohen, included is;

 

-credit agreement

-statements

-default notice

-notice of assignment.

 

Also included is an 'Evidence of Means' form. They say in their letter that i should fill this out and return it, agreeing to monthly repayments and settling the case. They wanted this doing within fourteen days but i've missed that by a long time as i've been busy with studying and stuff.

 

I've also received a letter from my local court requesting me at a hearing on the 27th April before the District Judge.

 

In a nutshell, i don't know what to do next. I don't wanna give up 'cause there's no way i'd be able to afford to pay Howard Cohen and then i don't wanna carry on defending if there's no way i'm gonna win and i'm just gonna be embarassed in court.

 

Help?!

Hi shane247.

 

I'm assuming that this relates to this link >>> http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/legal-issues/239003-me-coward-cohen.html

 

So, the docs you received - is this in response to the Directions issued following AQs? As for Evidence of Means is this an Income and Expenditure form? If so, only a court can ask you for this btw, not HC.

 

Without going through your other posts is there any point/s in particular that you're confident about defending on? Do you have your original DN?

 

The hearing on the 27th - is this a Case Management Conference?

 

A bit more info,

 

thanks,

 

M

Hey MandM.

 

This case is the same one as the one in the link.

The documents recieved are what i asked for in the AQ, yes. The Evidence of Means is indeed an income/expenditure form.

 

The letter about the hearing doesn't mention a 'Case Management Conference', it just says that 'the matter be listed for directions on 27 April 2010 with a time estimate of 15 minutes'.

I have a hearing at my county court on Tuesday for my Howard Cohen case and i am not prepared at all. I feel like i've gone into this without thinking about it enough and now i don't know where to start. :( They've sent me all the documents i've asked for and they've sent me their defense aswell and i just feel completely hopeless. Any advice?

So this is a directions hearing listed for just 15 minutes.

Basically its for the Court to decide how things should proceed and its an opp for you to raise anything (as with the other side)

 

What do you feel you need help with ?

Well, i think i've lost already, in all honesty. I decided to defend the case because i knew there was no way in hell i could afford to pay what i owe and because i read lots of success stories with Cohen. However, after searching high and low 'round the house i've found a default notice and a notice of assignment and it looks like i've buggered it all up.
