    • 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.

Once you file your defence the case is then transferred to a court near you, this is why you need to move fast to stop a judgement by default.

 

By sending the defence to the opposing solicitors you are covering your back on them getting a judgement by default automatically.... they cannot then say they haven't received any notification of your intended defence.

 

It is very much a mind game now and you have to stay in charge. Get the defences off pronto as I have advised.

You have probably read what I said about the default notice in the other Cash Genie thread.....however as you have put your defence in you may be scuppered (depending on what you submitted), also defending a court claim on the basis of somebody being not 'fit', and unless you have complete and solid evidence this is not a defence unless they have broken the law in someway....

If this is being battled in a small court - the papers do state that if you don't make a reasonable attempt to settle this outside of the courts this will can and will be used against you on the court date.

 

E.g. You've made a reasonable offer to the company, they have refused and gone directly to a court. For this reason alone, some judges can get the case struck out.

 

Don't sweat it, fight it tooth n nail - common sense will prevail.

 

Good luck!

so finally Cash Genie seem to have accepted my offer of intial loan and 1 month interest to avoid a formal hearing in court....

 

however I am now lumbered with the court charges....now I do not feel this is fair as this was the offer I made from day 1 but they kept refusing it and forced me to court.

 

Now they accept the very same offer?

 

Is this not a waste of the courts time? And also is this not seen as taking someone to court unneccesarily?

 

I am debating at the moment whether to pay the court fees or to challenge them?

 

The court seem to have ruled in the favour of Cash genie in this instance though....so this means unless I pay in full within 28 days the CCJ will appear on my credit file?

Hi Silly - thanks for reading my thread....

 

yeah thats what I was going to do - but do I appeal the CCJ judgement then with the court?

 

To be fair the court has already messed me about a fair bit by issuing judgement by default then striking it out once i pointed out i had returned my defence in time...have lost a fair bit of respect for the system...

 

anyways...so you suggest I should appeal the judgement, and then attach these emails where I have offered the first amounts etc?

 

They already have these documents as part of my initial defence...but I suspect the court would not have read these as cash genie accepted my offer?

LOL quick update guys....As you know I am counter claiming the court charges as I feel I shouldnt pay this. But I called up Carter Forbes to check whether they had received a cheque I sent to them and the guy on the phone said...' Ah I remember you from the consumer action forums'.

 

They must have so many people trawling through this site...

 

Anyways...happy new year to all!

Hey guys. I have read your comments and I really don't want to be a downer on this but I was also taken to court by carter Forbes, I highlighted the excessive interest rates - the rebutal (how is it spelt?) was that I knew about them before I signed the agreement. if you read the press too the Judges, Parliament and Press are all very aware of it so this is not an arguement. I tried to get the case struck out on technicalites, and failed, I appeared in court and their QC just combatted every arguement I had prepared. Basically I signed an agreement for a loan, I didn't pay it off, so I owe them the money. I didn't have any emails though and had not tried to come to an agreement. I am now paying of my Attachment of earnings Order directly from my wages. don't spend money on Legal advice, that money would be better offered to Cash Genie than spent on a legal defence that didn't help me. sorry for this, and good luck.

paydaynoway may indeed be a carter forbes employee but what he has said in a way is right.......... Judges aren't interested in the technicalities, if you signed, avoided paying (by that I mean not negotiating paying the money back), they will CCJ you, no matter how many technicalities you have.

 

Believe me, I tried and failed and it ended up costing me £800 for a £150 loan.

You need to argue that you are willing to repay the original loan plus one months interest over about 3-6months - I've had several PDL successes now where I have written defences for people and one company had to resubmit their claim showing the CORRECT interest calculation and correct particulars of claim, they then discontinued.

Did they really send a QC? It must have cost them an absolute fortune and normally they only represent the Crown.

 

Also you say that spending money of a legal defence didn't help you and yet you were the one putting forward the arguments.

 

I really do find your post very confusing.:???:

No wonder you're confused - it's a rubbish attempt to put people off defending their cases by Cash Genie. I like some of the artistic touches but most of them are clumsy and show a lack of awareness about the literacy levels of most posters here. (Not that there's anything fundamentally wrong with someone who has never been taught spelling and grammar properly but that post reads very much like a pretty stupid person doing an impersonation of how he thinks pretty stupid persons write... if that makes sense.( I hold my hands up to bad grammar myself there!)

 

Just look at it:

QC=nonsense - it's a civil case

"just combatted every arguement I had prepared"=don't even bother trying

" the rebutal (how is it spelt?)"=look at how ordinary and like the rest of you I am, I don't understand legal terms either. If you had seen the word 'rebuttal' several times in a court process, you'd probably have picked up the spelling. If not, and you were concerned about spelling, you'd probably spend 20 secs checking it online. But the term doesn't tend to come up very often in this kind of case anyway - somebody's been watching too many US law shows...

Sorry, can't believe I missed out the killer line: "that money would be better offered to Cash Genie"

 

Says it all really, particularly as they were reviving a thread that finished six weeks or so ago - quick search for Cash Genie by one of their supposed bright sparks?

 

I'm in a bit of a PD mess myself and Cash Genie are the only firm who haven't responded to my repeated offers. I'm beginning to think I should let them take me to court so that I can enjoy the sight of the mythical QC. I'm expecting a wig made out of cotton wool balls and possibly a remaindered Asda Halloween witch's outfit as robes.
