      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By tobyjugg2 · Posted

      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)

      Judge & Priestly

      By Bhindi lover · Posted

      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?

      Loose mortar from neighbours roof falling into our garden

      By Milos · Posted

      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?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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 am also very surprised that the CAB took the view that the "debt" would still have to be paid. It is clear that the debt is not hers.

 

Just so that everyone knows......the court have agreed that Lou Lou can attend court in 10 days time so that she can explain to them why she had not submitted a Statutory Declaration with 21 days of "becoming aware" of these parking tickets.

 

She knows that she will need to take details to confirm when her car was sold and the difficulty that she had in obtaining details of the new owner and she will also need to make the court aware that all correspondence concerning these "parking tickets" had been sent to her previous address and the reason as to why she had not received any correspodence.

 

The court have also agreed to advise the bailiff company to put the account on hold. COMMON SENSE HAS PREVAILED !!!

 

I am sure that she will be OK and she has assured me that she will post back after going to court to let us know the outcome.

I just want to say from the bottom of my heart a massive thank you to tomtubby. For the first time in four days I will be able to sleep easy. The bailiff did turn up and knock the door but I didnt answer so he went away and now at least I get the chance to put my side in front of the court in 10 days. I cannot describe the sick feeling I have had knowing that someone was prepared to take nearly a thousand pounds from me for a debt that they knew wasnt mine. Thank you to everyone who has helped me today and I will post back after attending court to let you know what happened.

Glad you have it sorted, so rest easy now. If the bailiff had made threats today , he would have looked extremely silly when he got the call from the office telling him to cease and desist

 

good result.

Thank you for your kind words.

 

For anyone else in a similar situation, it is important to be aware that Magistrates Courts will almost always TRY to convince you that once a Distress Warrant has been issued that there is NOTHING that can be done and that all enquiries must be made instead to the bailiff company.

 

This is NOT CORRECT !!!

 

Firstly this Distress Warrant relates to unpaid parking tickets issued by a local authority that has not opted for decriminalised parking and here tickets are issued by a police officer and are still considered to be criminal offences!!! Crazy I know....but I don't make the rules.....

 

Many people are unable to respond to a summons or, ( in this particular case) parking tickets for various reasons. The most common one being that notices or the summons had been delivered to a previous address etc. By law, the debtor can file a Statutory Declaration which will then REVOKE the fine and thereby "rewind" the process. This will cancel the fine/fixed penalty notices etc. A Statutory Declaration should normally be submitted within 21 days of "becoming aware" of the fine/fixed penalty notices etc. However, the court can if they wish accept a Stat Dec AFTER the 21 days if they wish.

 

The Fines office in this particular case, were initially adamant that there was nothing that could be done and I therefore explained that the Magistrates do have a power under Section 142 of the Magistrates Court Act 1980 to re-open a case to rectify a mistake and that this very common situation is used all of the time if a person had missed a stage in the proceedings or had a conviction without their knowledge.

 

Section 142 of the Magistrates Court Act 1980 is a "general" power to correct mistakes. The Magistrates must act on proper judicial grounds and will consider whether or not it is in the interests of Justice to re-open the case in order to allow them to correct a mistake.

 

If you want to ask the Magistrates to use their Judicial Powers under Section 142 to re-open a case then you should arrange with the Court Listing Department to attend at the Court in order to make the application. There is no set form for the application and you will simply have to stand up in front of the Magistrates after arranging with the Listing Department to attend and outline the circumstances in which you believe a mistake has been made and try and persuade the Court that it is in the interest of Justice to re-open the case

Very good news and now hopefully you will give CAB a call to advise them about the incorrect advice to prevent others from falling into the same trap.

 

Sadly OP would be wastimg breath, CAB are not of a consistent standard, and it is luck of the draw it the one in your area is any good. sadly where i am they are not up to much, and by the time you get an appointment you would have qualified for a bus pass, and your issue either gone away, or if it was housing related you could be evicted, and possibly homeless, before they see you.

 

Guess who funds them? often the council. who are they kicking if you see them for council tax, The Council.........

I WILL be putting in a letter to the CAB as I feel I was really let down by them. They had the proof in front of them that the debt was not mine and despite me asking for LEGAL advice they insisted it was DEBT advice I needed. The lady I spoke to went through an income/expenditure form and as an angel (tomtubby) pointed out to me yesterday, had the bailiff been willing to speak to and negotiate with her on my behalf, I would now be struggling to pay (probably for years) for someone elses parking fines.

have to agree TT the advice guven by CAB would be from their system and therefore generic, it wouldn't likely even consider the debt didn't belong to the client in the first place, they would assume the court had got it right and it was owed.
