    • 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.

Email now forwarded to NCC asking for it to be put on the file urgently (just to cover my back)

 

Now going to find something to occupy me until later this afternoon

Hi Lamb

 

I'm shaking and crying like a big baby

 

Morgans said they hadn't got an answer yet, to ring back at about 4.30pm, So another day out the way he is allowing me an extension until next Friday, will send me e-mail confirming this but WILL NOT inform the court of this extension.Is he sending it today? I queried that the fact that he wasn't informing the Court of the extension would mean that they (morgans/cabot) would receive judgement by default and he said he won't get that unless he asks for it and obviously is not going to do that because he has made an agreement with me?? Thats fine its your duty to inform the court with their conformation.

 

He also said to stop e-mailing him to ask that he looks at this matter urgently (as I did earlier in the week) as he has to stop what he is doing and look at things and he can't reply???? Only one person dealing with this claim?

 

Can I e-mail the court forwarding the letter agreeing the extension that he is e-mailing me (when I get it)

Yes

 

If they dont Lamb simply submit a short holding defence on Monday and then they have all the time in the world to think about, agree a TO, with himself, at his desk on his own, in a one man decision making capacity.

 

Stop worrying as advised you will make yourself ill, this is really all a nonsense.Dont play their game it really serves no purpose.

 

Regards

 

Andy

We could do with some help from you.

Morgans is indeed a relatively small in-house unit. You are not necessarily dealing with proper solicitors here, maybe just paralegals.

 

To be fair to them and I really am spitting at myself whilst typing this....

 

Most of the debts purchasing now uses debt securitisations and as such the underwriters of these schemes has the final say on how many defaults the security vehicle will allow before downgrading it, they would in my opinon have to get approval to agree.

 

 

that said I cannot find fault with the latter part of your statement ;-)

Well, that was pointless, phoned at 4.26pm, he said he had told me to phone back at 4.30pm and it was naughty to ring earlier

 

He had not heard back from the 'under writers' and he thought they only dealt with e-mail issues after 5pm??

 

So have to phone back on Monday afternoon. Great eh?

 

I asked him again that could he confirm that nothing would happen in court on Monday, he laughed and said I had it in writing (this was an e-mail) from him so no he wouldn't do anything and said he had told me so, I said I just needed to make sure due to my MH issues.

 

he asked for a breakdown of the £7 surplus income, I told him it was ridicilous to ask me that and I would inform the court of his harressment over this, he apologised but said he knew where every penny of his income went down to the last penny. I told him he was very clever and perhaps I could learn from him. Stupid I know but he wound me up

 

He then asked if I was aware of online groups that offered ridiclous advice on these matters as they were pretty useless, I said no i wasn't aware of any, could he give me the names of these groups, he laughed again and said 'no, I will not give you the names, they won't help you in anyway, they are a bunch of useless articles so stick to talking with me' He then said 'Have a nice weekend' and he would speak to me on Monday afternoon.

 

I have forwarded the e-mail to NCC, so do I need to submit a 'holding defense' as suggested by Andy? I don't think I do have to, do I?

 

Thanks for all your posts,much appreciated. Donkey, I will look into that now

 

I am not stressed but am getting a bit cross now to be honest, he's taking the michael

What a childish idiot, I bet his parents are really proud they have bought up such a well mannered well spoken individual! I'd love to have a phone conversation with this fool, "Laugh it up funny guy coz you'll be laughing on the other side of your face by the time you are out of a Job!"

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Nice to see your friendly and suportive face BB

 

I just can't get over the support of people on this site, it amazes me that strangers are so helpful and care about people like me.

 

As for your comments, I totally agree, though I do think I lowered myself a bit too

This is exactly why recording your calls would be useful. Releasing these to the OFT with a complaint would make them run a mile...

 

PM me if you want some help to record. I can’t stand seeing them get away with this.

I used to use a dictaphone with a special lead that plugged directly into the phone socket to record my calls before I bought Truecall, I am sure you can still get these leads from Maplins or similar, I'll have a look around.

 

Heres to give you an idea of what I mean, and the prices.

Olympus do an acoustic mic – the TP7. One end goes in your ear and you use the phone on that ear. It picks up the caller as well as your voice very clearly. Under a tenner, I think. It’s my standard journalistic tool, and with a mini voice recorder for about £30-£50, you can use it on the move. Worth every penny when you’re fighting these idiots, and cheaper than Trucall.

Well he has a point :wink: 4.30 is 4.30 to some jobsworth :)

You dont need anything else, the email will suffice, you can forward to the courts email if you have it but just to cover all the bases just fax or print a copy and send it to the court by mail.

 

he asked for a breakdown of the £7 surplus income, I told him it was ridicilous to ask me that and I would inform the court of his harressment over this, he apologised but said he knew where every penny of his income went down to the last penny. I told him he was very clever and perhaps I could learn from him. Stupid I know but he wound me up

He's being very stupid... just say the words, food/utilities inflation protection or tell him your saving it for xmas.

 

He then asked if I was aware of online groups that offered ridiclous advice on these matters as they were pretty useless, I said no i wasn't aware of any, could he give me the names of these groups, he laughed again and said 'no, I will not give you the names, they won't help you in anyway, they are a bunch of useless articles so stick to talking with me' He then said 'Have a nice weekend' and he would speak to me on Monday afternoon.

 

Nice one :)

 

I have forwarded the e-mail to NCC, so do I need to submit a 'holding defense' as suggested by Andy? I don't think I do have to, do I?

 

Nope, personally you've had the agreement and so long as you notify the court you are covered

I was delighted to see this lamb. Fighting back and taking control can be very empowering.

 

You are right to let the court know about the extra extension, because as you said, they could claim judgment by default otherwise.

 

I suggest no more phone calls and stick to emails.

 

Once this is over I would be inclined to make a complaint to the SRA about this appalling behaviour assuming, as others have said, that he really is a solicitor.

Even if he is only a paralegal he can still be censured of barred from commercial practice.

And I agree if Lamb is now feeling anger at the situation he is well on the road to a real fight back to normality.

Well a google of the name morgans solicitors brings up a page showing its the in house litigation team for Cabot... doing a search on the SRA website shows the organisation Morgans based in Rugby with exactly 0 solicitors based at this address :lol:

It is the one commercial director Cabot, I doubt he's the guy dealing with Lamb, it would be a para legal I think. IMHO Mr. MORGAN is not on apperances

the kind of solicitor I would like to deal with.
