    • 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.

I do hope someone can help

I am being asked to pay a debt on an account which I have never had! A bank has sent my details to a dca without ever writing to me and now the DCA keep phoning me even though I keep telling them I am deafblind and do not use the phone! How can I clear this matter up?

Could you let us know which bank it is please.

OK. I am going to move this thread to the Barclays forum because you will get more responses there.

 

I also think that you need to give us a bit more detail. Are you really saying that you have never had an account with Barclays?

 

Can you give us some details of the letters that you have received, the responses you have given and any reactions you have had to your responses.

 

Is there any reason why Barclays should think that you have had an account with them?

Hi first thing to do is refuse their security questions,tell them in writing only,and then put the phone down.

 

The DCA concerned (who is it) write to them and state "You have never heard of their company,You have never had a Bank Account with Barclays (assume that is the case) and you are well aware that should any DCA pursue a debt without being sure that you are the person concerned is in default of the DPA and of the recommendations of the OFT and contravenes the Lending Code of practice.Should your company contact me again a vigorous complaint will be made to OFT and you will pursue compensation through the courts.

 

Something along those lines should stop them dead in their tracks

 

Regards FS...............Sorry Bankfodder posting at the same time,my reply assumes no Barclays Bank Account

I too am assuming that there is no Barclays account, but if Barclays have handed over information on a non-existent account to a DCA then it is Barclays which would be at fault.

 

By the way, it would be interesting to know which DCA as well

I had a joint account with my husband but closed my part over 7 years ago - he continued using it as a single account holder We decided to have independant financial agreements. Almost 2 years ago he declared himself banckrupt. I had a letter in May from ttispc which was my first notification I paid £130 "for them to investigate further", heard nothing more from them at all. Last monday I had a phone call from Rockwall about "a personal matter" again last night they spoke to my husband (as I'm deaf I don't answer the phone) they wouldn't give him any details due to "data protection" They said they would call again at 4pm today

firstly I don't understand this £130 for an investigation. What is that? And what is the company ttispc?

 

Secondly, I now understand that actually you did have an account with Barclays – except that it was a joint account and that you remove yourself from this account about seven years ago. When you disassociated yourself from the account, did you do this in writing? Do you have evidence that the account came to be treated as a single person account? For instance is their correspondence addressed solely to your husband? Or are there statements which are addressed solely to your husband?

If your details had been removed from the account, then a DCA certainly has no right to those details. However, this has probably happened only because Barclays have passed on the information. There's an outside chance they have sourced the info about you as a 'linked' person from a credit reference agency.

 

Was this account included in your husband's bankruptcy?

 

If you can record calls, I would suggest a call on your behalf to Barclays to ask what is going on. Barclays should also be aware that you probably fall in to the definition of a vulnerable person.

you still haven't said who the DCA is. You also haven't explain the investigation fee.

 

I think that you should refuse to deal with anybody on the telephone. With the disabilities which you appear to have described, how are you dealing with telephone calls? And also how are you managing to use your computer to post these responses?

 

I think that you should write a letter to the DCA and put them on notice that firstly you will not deal with them by telephone in any circumstances. Inform them that if they ignore your letter that you will report them to the OFT and also to Trading Standards. (Make sure that you do make these complaints if they ignore you.)

 

Write to Barclays and complain that they have apparently instructed a DCA in respect of a bank account which is not yours and from which you disassociated yourself seven years ago.

 

Tell them that you want an immediate written confirmation that they have cancelled the instructions to the DCA. Tell them that you require them to let you know whether they have contacted any third parties in respect of this matter and if so who.

 

Tell them that you require immediate confirmation that they accept that the account is not yours and that you have no responsibility in it at all.

 

Please let me know your responses to the questions I have asked above.

Yes, it's a shame that Margo47 is not responding a bit more to this thread of her's.

If the story is correct, I think that we could offer some very serious help to solve this problem

Something is seriously suspect with this company.

 

No telephone number on their website

Only a P.O Box address

No company number

No CCA Licence Number

 

And who is the Data Protection Authority, they say they are also regulated by ?

Could not find them via a companies house or ICO search. TTISPC could be a trading name though. I can do a CCA search on my phone for some reason, so will check when I get home.

 

Without a postcode, it will be harder to find information about them

They have history for receiving bankrupt accounts from Barclays.

Thanks Donkey.

 

My concerns are in regard to the way the appear to operate. I can't find anything about them being registered as a Data Controller with the ICO, so should not be processing personal data. If the don't have a CCA licence (something I will check later) they should not be acting as a DCA.

 

I am sure there are also rules about details they should have on their website. The lack of a telephone and this investigation fee are ringing alarm bells.

 

What if they charge everyone this fee? It could be a nice little earner on a debt that doesn't exist - money for nothing
