    • a CCJ does not 'expire' thus does not need any application to a court to 'extend it'. if a CCJ has not been enforced within 6yrs, then it is very unlikely any court would grant such should the claimant return to court, of which the defendant would be advised -( unless they have moved and not informed the court & the claimant such) .  
    • I contacted them when it happened. The caretaker came over, looked at it, and walked off with the tree chunks of mortar. Next morning, they had a roofer come over and enter our garden to inspect it. Friday they were supposed to speak with a scaffolding company. I had to bring up liability and potentially calling the council to report 'an unsafe structure' before they even got moving. They know all about the wedding, the preparations, our patio contractors etc. but their attitude doesn't instill me with confidence. My fear is it will end up being a legal matter which is why I posted here to hopefully receive some advice. As far as I can see, the roof is in a state of disrepair, even if it's just the mortar breaking lose due to the size and weight of the chunks - and even from ground level it's visibly clear that multiple pieces have fallen over time (though never this size so we haven't been able to identify the issue till now - we thought it was rubble left in the garden by the previous owner). Currently, we can't use 25% of our garden due to the risk of more falling mortar which is more than just an inconvenience, we can't proceed with our contractors, and at worst, it will run up in several thousand of extra expenses for us, if we have to find a wedding venue. Even if they do have it fixed in time, and we have to settle for renting a marquee and floor for the marquee and furniture and whatnot it will be additional costs only due to the neighbour's roof.
    • It will be years before Banks would sell to a debt buyer.  Sometimes Banks will use external debt collectors to try to collect, but generally Banks don't take Court action.  So you could be looking at 3 to 6 years, before any dca owning debt looks to take any Court action. And it is not definite that this would happen. So no need to feel pressured at this stage. In the event you found yourself unemployed, you have time to engage with Banks to advise of your situation and ask for time to deal with the situation, find new employment. As long as you inform the Banks they will offer assistance they can. E.g offer payment holiday or accept reduced payment for period. What you should not do, is not contact the Banks and simply default on payments.

    • 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 Folks, Have a problem.

 

On Saturday (11th Feb 2012), I went on a shopping trip and when I went to pay discovered my wallet (with driving licence and debit card) had disappeared.

 

I phoned NatWest (my bank) to inform them of my missing card and it was cancelled. I also was given an "Emergency Withdrawal" of £60 to buy some food for the weekend and have funds until a new card was issued, and at the same time was issued with a mini bank statement showing a balance of £160.

 

I received my card today (14th Feb) and as I use NatWest Online banking, I went on to check my bank statement.

 

Here it quite clearly shows that on Saturday a payment via POS (Point Of Sale) of £10 was made using my missing card.

 

I phoned NatWest as I assumed it was perhaps a Charge for the Emergency Withdrawal and queried as as to why I wasn't informed of this charge, to be told I hadn't been charged AND the payment of £10 had been made to O2 on the 11th of Feb.

 

I do not have an O2 phone, nor did I make a payment to them as I did not have my card!

 

NatWest say they will investigate this: however I have been informed that a payment could be made with a debit card without the need for a PIN Number, so my question(s) are this/these:

 

1. Is this true, (even though I do not keep a record of my PIN Number in my wallet), a debit card can still be used without a PIN Number;

 

If this is the case then how "Un-secure" are debit cards?

 

2. Where do I stand in terms of a refund (if any)?

 

Thanx

Hi

Natwest are correct. I suspect the misuse was done online where when you use your card, you don't use your pin but the 3 digit security number on the back of the card.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

As to your rights - read the FSA guide "know your rights". That will tell you where you stand.

 

The trouble is that we are finding that NatWest do not know your rights and so they will normally cause a lot of trouble trying to deprive you of your rights as well as your money.

Some card depends on the bank all you have to do with the card is hold it against the card machine and payment goes through no pin no nothing just like a fast food drive through but think there is a limit to it.

 

I would imagine the bank will investigate the payment and as it is a small amount a refund should happen

If i have helped in any way hit my star.

any advice given is based on experience and learnt from this site :-)

I think it's only Barclays that are trialing the contactless technology at the moment. Could be wrong though

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Re Unauthorised Payment:I have since contacted NatWests Fraud Department, where I explained the situation regarding stolen Debit Card and a subsequent unauthorised transaction.They first of all informed me that they are now Officially opening a Fraud case for this transaction; will inform the Police, and because the transaction was a small amount ie £10, they will refund in full the amount back into my account. Thanx for your help/advice.

This is good news, If the card was used online and for a phone payment transaction, they should easily be traced.

I was thinking that too BUT I suspect o2 won't be too forthcoming with the details of the phone number the top-up applied to. Data Protection?
