    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • 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?

    • 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.

First off I like to apologise I'm writing this from my iPhone as my pc is not working.

 

I had 2 debts with these people one I managed to pay off as the door step agent started to harrass my dad as I wasn't home in time to pay him. Now I have another one which I know I owe, he came to my house and we agreed he would come every Saturday at 11 for £15pw I signed the agreement saying that then he went.

 

The following Saturday he never turned up phoned his office and left my number and they said they would pass on the message 3 weeks later still nothing so I left another message. Finally yesterday (Friday 15th) he came spoke to my dad to say he doesn't work my area oftern and can only come at 8am Saturday my dad said he should be in to which I was but in bed.

 

He posted a card to say I've been but no answer at 8PM AS WE AGREED which I never agreed. The point I'm making is I feel he's harrasing my dad who's 71 alto he is very active for his age who has nothing to do with it and now 3 weeks later he turns up for money. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Ben.

Ben.

Are you serious? Here is my advice; If he returns, take your iphone and shove it down his throat! Alternatively give the idiot 5 SECONDS to get of your property. If you don't they will view you from now on as a mug willing to pay anyone on demand.

so either write to morecrap and arrange a payment by standing order, or contact lloyds and do the same, in any case stop paying the doorstepper and you stop him getting commision

 

Believe me I've tried. Morecrap will only take the pmt in full and lloyds want nothing more to do with the debt

Moorcroft do what you tell them, not the other way round.

YOU tell them what they are getting and how they are getting it, if they don't like it tough, they get nothing

 

The are just another bunch of parasites with no legal powers fleecing you with their delusions of grandeur

Print out this letter

 

 

Door step

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/content.php?441-If-you-do-receive-a-doorstep-visit-we-give-these-suggestions-to-Members

 

Send one to the company and keep a copy by the door to show anyone who turns up!

 

Write to Moorcrap and tell them what you are prepared to pay and how but DO NOT PAY ANYTHING TILL YOU GET MORE INFO. Ask them for a complete breakdown of everything first and check this out - what you owe, any charges etc and challenge it. Tell them you are reporting them to Consumer Direct and do this! They are not allowed to harass you or your family and they know this

 

Trading Standards via http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk/contact

 

Are they collecting on behalf of Lloyds/TSB if so they are responsible for the actions of their agent so you need a letter of complaint? Quote this at them from OFT Guide lines

 

 

Creditor responsibility for third parties

 

1.9 If consumer credit licence holders choose to do business or continue to do business with third parties engaged in questionable fitness behaviour, then their own fitness will be called into question. Our aim is to ensure that creditors do not ignore the unfair practices of debt collectors, whether in-house or external, acting on their behalf. It is not for the OFT to specify in this guidance how choices about third party selection are made nor to advise on desired conduct between third parties. However, during any investigation in this respect, we would expect to see

 

that care had been taken in the selection process, complaints had been investigated and that firm action had been taken as appropriate. It would be unlikely that we would take action against a creditor who could demonstrate such action had been taken.

 

 

In fact have a look at the OFT Guidelines and how many of these are being broken

Sorry for late reply been really busy. He came again on a day and time we didn't agree and started harassing him again saying he can't do 11 on Saturday as he has other commitments even tho I signed something to say he'll be collecting my money then. He said he'll come tomorrow at 5:30pm according to my dad. Think I should tell him to sod off

Do as the others have suggested. Tell him to go away in short jerky movements and that you no longer want him visiting the house again. If he does, you will call the policeas he is trespassing.

Send the letter, and do NOT entertaint his pondlife again

I'm not really entertaining him. I haven't seen or said a word to him in about 5 weeks. It's my dads house and he's telling him stuff about my debt which I'm not happy about to be honest. I'm just never there to put a stop to it. He left a number I called (witheld my number) but it's a dead line lol. Think he's digging his own grave

Well next time he calls and asks for you, all your dad has to say is " not in" and slam the door in his face.

If he doesn't leave and persists in knocking, ring the Police.

 

Then report him to Moorcrap for breaching the data protection act.

 

He knows your not going to be there when he calls, thats why he does it, to intimidate your dad, probably hoping he can get a few quid out of him as well.

 

Just get rid of him next time he comes and tell him not to bother coming back, there's nothing for you here.
