    • 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.

Wait a minute - Lets stand back and look at this.

 

Are you saying that the OFT stated that bcw group holds a CCL and that buchanan clark and wells is the trading name of bcw group?

 

If that is correct that means that they ARE registered to collect debts. The OFT are correct that the licence is registered to the company and not its trading name - but that does not mean they cannot collect under it's trading name, as it is the same company.

 

Or are you saying that buchanan clark and wells is a difefrent company to bcw group, and registered as a seperate company with companies house? That being the case and buchanan clark and wells did not have a CCL then they would be committing a Criminal Offence by trying to collect debts.

 

The thing is you say in your first post that it is bcw trying to collect (who the OFT have told you have a licence) - have you used that as an abbreviation yourself or is that who has contacted you?

 

I will look into this a bit more in the morning - but if it is bcw group trying to collect- (and not buchanan clark and wells different company) - you will have no grounds to complain about the lack off CCL with the OFT.

 

BCW is now part of Gothia financial group.

 

I think we need to do a bit more digging before we get to excited - but i hope you are right. But i fear you may have the wrong end of the stick

Am not saying you are wrong - but you may be mixing up a trading name and trading companies, they are different things.

 

Example - buchanan clark and wells are a company. another company comes along and takes them over. The new owners close down the original buchanan clark and wells and it ceases trading, and its ccl licence lapses.

 

The new owners start up a new company called bcw group, gain a ccl and use a trading name of buchanan clark and wells.

 

What you need is the registration numbers for all companies involved.

 

You may be right - but dont count your chickens till you have double checked.

 

You do say that on the bottom of the letters it says part of the bcw group.

bcw group has been bought by gothia finacial group the letter i had the other week has changed it letter head from previous and now says buchanan clark & wells is a trading style of BCW group

Gothia financial group are not relevant - they may be the owners - but bcw can still trade as a seperate company. For example i could own 4 different businesses - all trading in different sectors - all reistered as ltd companies - but the regs for one will not be the same regs for another.

It is active - look at CCL i posted earlier.

 

buchanan clark and wells is one of the TRADING NAMES on the CCL - not the company name - but trading name - look at the link about half way down.

 

buchanan clark and wells you are talking about was a company - part of the avance group - that buchanan clark and wells no longer trades - and their CCL lapsed in 2010. Different legal entities.

 

here is CCL details for the OLD buchanan clark and wells.

unless you can prove that the company who collected your money had a different company registration number to the company now claiming the money, then you will get nowhere with this argument - sorry.

 

If you can prove different numbers you may have a case - but as ive said, i think you may have the wrong end of the stick.

You really do need to drop this 123gas.

 

If you think that issuing court papers is going to bring these people to heel, then think again. You are more likely to end up in a bigger mess and be landed with a bill for COSTS. As always though, it is your decision.

I arrived at this forum following a search for BC&W as they have now popped up out of the blue this last fortnight on the phone and a couple of letters. Mine is from GE Money (used to finance a car from Carcraft - horrors), who passed to Link about 3 years ago I think........

 

Any chance of bumping my thread that I posted in today? http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?161277-AA99-v-GE-Money-Car-Loan&p=3604709#post3604709

fill this out with every unlawful charge [over/late/dd return] etc etc

 

it will calc the int for you
