    • 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,

 

I have a capital one credit card and owe £157, Back in March it was £85 balance.

 

On the same day my new statement was due I noticed the minimum payment of £5 didn't go through so I phoned them the same day and said I would like to make the minimum payment as I noticed it didn't go through the woman said it was too late and I now need to pay something like £29 as I had incurred the same day a £12 charge and another charge of £12 for going over my £100 limit due to the £12 charge knocking me over, I was mad so I said I won't pay it because I find it unfair that I am also getting charged for going over my limit because of there charge going on.

 

I have left it and not paid anything, everytime they have phoned i have said I will pay the minimum payment but only after the charges have been taken off to which they decline the offer.

 

I have noticed that it has now grown to £157 what is the best action to take?

 

Best

Was it a case of paying at the bank on time but not being credited to your credit card account on time ?

Welcome to the site.

First thing to learn is dont deal by phone-keep things in writing and demand they do the same.

Have you had previous charges ?

Maybe worth considering taking action to get them ALL back.

Thanks for replying,

 

The money was supposed to leave my account on the 6th but it didn't, when I looked on the 13th when my capitalone statement was due to be generated I made the call then.

 

I should also note that I lost my job in December last year and have PPI but didn't want to use it as I would lose that card.

I said to them that I am willing to pay the £5 on the day the new statement was due to be generated and they said its too late you now have to pay £29, they declined the offer of £5 and so I didn't make the payment as I was mad about the charges.

The point I am trying to get to is did you make a payment and was it on time ?

Hi,

 

I guess no i didn't but I did offer on the last day before my statement.

 

Ade.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

At the beginning you stated that the minimum amount had'nt gone through, which led me to believe it may have been an admin error by the bank either at where you made payment or an admin error by the credit card company..

 

If on the other hand you had failed to make a minimum payment for what ever reason, then that would be why they had charged you twelve pounds late payment fee..

 

On to the question of would I think you was being awkward then my personal opinion is no and I believe you are within your rights to question this late payment fee as well as other charges you may feel to be unjust..

Not Enough Funds DD

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The other thing you might consider in the furture is if funds are likely not to be in the bank to pay direct debits then an alternative way to pay might be an idea to look at as most banks seem to charge a fee as well if a third party attempts to claim money from a direct debit set up and there is insufficent funds to do so..

Hi,

 

Sorry for not being clear enough, I do feel the charges were unfair at the time and I'm glad someone agrees.

 

What action can I take? I have offered to make the minimum payment only if the charges are taken off.

 

What can I do to get these charges taken off?

 

Having looked at my statement today, it is now £183 it has nearly doubled my balance since march.

 

Thanks

 

Ade.
