    • 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.

hi, please could someone give me advice

 

i have received a letter from buchanan clark &wells about a loan i thought was long gone.

 

originally i had a loan with hsbc but after trying to claim back my bank charges they closed my account.

 

i asked them how i can repay my loan they said it had been sold on but couldn't tell me who to.

 

5 and a half years have passed since i last made a payment and hadn't had any requests for payment.

was really looking forward to 6 year point

but now i have received 2 letters

1 asking if this is my address (i have moved home) and another requesting payment.

i haven't made any contact.

 

my 6 year point is october

but i move abroad in april so they wont find me.

Hi Happy New Year and Welcome to CAG..

I would check your credit reference files before taking

any action, then you can be sure of all the dates.

It seems that you are getting all mail forwarded to your

new address correct??

Once you get your credit report then I would send

the ''prove it'' letter from the CAG library as from what

you you have not received a notice of assignment

of the debt to BCW regarding the transfer from HSBC.

hi happy new year and thanks for your response

 

i got my report about a year ago the date of default was a month after my last payment, im still in england at the moment but i am moving in april its only untill start of 2013 but should be safe by then. BCW letter says they have been asked on behalf of Activ kapital. i moved not long after my last payment i have lived here for nearly 5 years and this is the first contact. do you think i should send the prove it letter now or wait for more letters and stall for time? can they obtain a ccj without giving me a writen warning first?

No CCJ without warning but it seems far

from this at the moment, check those credit

files asap, do nothing until you get them.

You say 5 1/2 years since last payment. Have you claimed charges since then as that would also be seen as acknowledging the debt and would extend the SB date.

 

Is that correct? Not doubting you but I would have thought reclaiming charges would be a separate issue as you’re not acknowledging any outstanding amount only reclaiming back the unlawful amount that should never have been applied in the first place.

It's a technicallity if you ''ASKED''

for information on reclaiming charges

and that is all no restart.

time than right, and out of date.

I'll agree with you, Brig.

 

Out of curiosity, and for no other reason, I sent for my files from Experian, Equifax, and Call Credit, over the Christmas and New Year period.

 

I've never seen a credit file before, and I knew in advance that there wouldn't be anything on them, except for my personal data.

 

That proved to be true, except that Call Credit have listed my 5 bank accounts, [i have six], and they have included the last four digits of the plastic cards that, supposedly, go with them.

 

Only one of the cards has a number that I recognise - the rest are meaningless rubbish - they aren't even old card numbers, that have been replaced.

 

Which does make me wonder, how many other peoples' files are innacurate?

All of these are on behalf of a friend.. Cabot - [There's no CCA!]

CapQuest - [There's no CCA!]

Barclays - Zinc, [There's no CCA!]

Robinson Way - Written off!

NatWest - Written off!

Interesting as I wonder if this was ever properly assigned?

 

If you account was closed (your bank had a 'flounce' because you asked for charges) then I'll bet they did not follow through correctly, not only that but the effectively cut themselves off from receiving payment and sold it illegally! :wink:

 

I'd send the 'prove it' letter then a CCA the the DCA and SAR to the bank, then you will know what they have as ammunition, normally I do this as slow as possible as the SB clock is running, but as your moving why take the risk....
