    • 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.

Maybe somebody out hear can help,

recently applied for DLA and it has been refused due to an ESA ATOS report from january 2010.

I won my appeal for ESA in september 2010.

Now my question is why have DLA refused me because of the report yet I sent a decision notice with my claim pack to say that I won my appeal and the ATOS report is incorrect.

 

I have asked for a reconsideration what is the likelyhood that the decision would be changed by submitting a copy of the tribunal decision??

 

I submitted loads of evidence when i sent the claim pack, I submitted a doctors letter, a private doctor report which were used for esa appeal, discharge forms from hospital for overdosing suicidal attempts, 2 being very recent twice last month.

 

SHould I drop the claim as I dont think I would be able to bare another appeal process which takes months to even get a hearing date.

Hi, don't let this get to you, it's obviously an error which can be put right, although there still no guarantee that using the revised docs will change the decision.

If it were me i'd be using welfare rights or CAB from now on, they'll deal with it for you and take most of the stress away. I also beleive that with either of those involved you are more likely to get a positive result, or at least a faster result.

Hope this helps

Fnx for your kind messages.

My welfare advisor submitted my DLA application. I still have barely recovered from a long ESA appeal I just don't want to go through another traumatizing proccess like that and knowing about DLA appeal it could take upto a year.

 

The worst thing today is my friend who cares for me has had family pass away today so i'm all by myself today with all these thoughts going through my head don't know what is what anymore.

If you go to CAB or other adviser, you could ask them to mark your appeal as urgent - while there isn't (I believe) a formal mechanism for prioritising any particular appeal - and they do have a mammoth backlog at the moment - if an advisor can stress your mental health issues following your successful ESA appeal, they may be able to get you bumped up the queue.

 

Hang on in there, and if you are struggling being on your own while your carer deals with family issues, check out the link - some mental health telephone helplines, to have someone to talk things through with. They won't be able to sort out the DLA thing, but they may help you find your head for a bit while your support is away.

OMG i'm really sorry to hear that, i think going to your MP is a good move, he/she should be able to put pressure on the dwp, it will still take time. In the mean time try to put this out of your head, worrying will do you no good.

I have some idea how this is making you feel, i was almost in the same frame of mind when i scored 0 points, i fought it and doing so has helped me gain some self respect,.

 

Good luck and your not alone!!!

 

ps i won my appeal.:)
