    • 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.

Is this a shortfall on an old mortgage - don't know about agreements but you are quite within your rights to send off a SAR to see what you are being charged.

The Consumer Credit Act request won't work with a mortgage. The agreement has to make reference to the CCA for it to apply. Most secured loans don't.

 

In the case of a non-CCA agreement the normal rules of evidence would apply. The creditor would be required to prove that you owe the money. If they can't produce a signed agreement or other evidence to support their contention then they are very unlikely to succeed in court. Such evidence could include details of a charge at the Land Registry,

Yes - but I suspect that this an old shortfall maybe an ins claim on a MIg and therfore no land registry charge would apply - we need OP to clarify.

A land registry search would throw up old charges. A charge in the name of X bank might be sufficient evidence that a loan existed.

 

I didn't know it did old charges - have only seen current ones - worth knowing

Thanks so much for the dialogue guys. It is a very old debt (the house was repossed - voluntarily - in 1991). I was paying up until 5 years ago, when I moved and changed banks and didn't realise the direct debit had disappeared. I have been chased by a DCA, who SAY they are acting on behalf of Halifax, but cannot provide any proof of the loan or that they have the legal entitlement to collect.

 

Surely it would be easy enough for them to get the Land Registry details to prove it... Or is it not easy for them to get this information?

 

I have given them months to provide me with evidence, and they just say it is lost. Cough up!

 

I really don't know where to go from here...

Well I think I would spend £20 and send SAR to DCA and HAlifax - as otherwise this could go on forever - how are you supposed to know balance charges etc without info?

Or could it mean the DCA have just cashed the £10 but not used it towards the SAR? Can they do this legally?

Hi. I have heard back from the DCA. Halifax have still not acknowledged my letter, or cashed the £10 for the SAR I sent them.

 

What the DCA have sent looks absolutely useless, but I really need some advice. Are they able to claim from me with what they have sent me:

 

Their covering letter says "Further to your request please find all the information you are entitled to under the DPA. Please note that if you require a SARN request from my client, you should forward a coverting letter to myself and enclose a further cheque for £10 payable to Halifax."

 

a) Copies of all the letters they have sent me in the last 6 months. (I already have all those!)

 

b) More blank sheets for me to complete with my outgoings (I have already done this!)

 

c) A photocopy of a very unofficial looking print off entitled Cisac 2000 headed 'borrower details'. This has my name (incorrectly spelled) and my current address. Nothing more.

 

d) A second Cisac 2000 entitled 'account details'. This has the address of the old mortgage and a box saying:

 

original loss: £29,641.06

Sale £33,500.00

Gross loss: £28,770.06

 

Net loss: £28,770.06

 

e) A 'case history' report - which is just a typed sheet giving details of their involvement. This goes back to 15/9/05 - where it says:

 

CAUTION - NEW CASE. Take appropriate action. Completion date 22/10/92 Expired 22/10/98.

 

It then goes on to show that they traced me through Electoral register and Equifax, then a list of all the 'generic type' letters they sent me.

 

On 6/9/06 there is a note to say "Halifax have mislaid the file and have requested that we hold for 6 months and request details again"

 

I am tempted to tell them the same. Surely these 'details' are NOT enough to prove they have the right to collect the money? There is no signed agreement. In fact nothing official at all - everything they have looks to have come from their own office.

 

What steps should I now take?

 

THANK YOU to you!!
