    • 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.

Hi all

 

Just after some advice.

My OH received a letter from MH, for £4k owed to barclays bank.

 

This was a debt from about 15 years ago for about £800, thay is the only thing it could be.

 

He has heard nothing from barclays themselves for 15 years,

 

there has been the odd letter last year from DCa's but he ignored them.

 

They have now been ringing him at work although i dont know how they found out where he worked.

 

Ive been told there is a letter i can send as the debt is over 6 years old.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

Send the statute barred letter - ypu'll find one in the library. Send it recorded delivery, keep the receipt and keep checking the Royal Mail website until the letter arrives and is signed for. Print off that page. Keep all this material safely along with the begging letters from Mackenzie Hall. Should they decide to persist report the cretins to the OFT, the trading standards department at your local council and the trading standards department at their local council of East Ayrshire.

 

Chasing debts of that age is nothing new for the "new" owners of the Mackenzie Hall Group so I suppose this will become a regular feature of these threads. It doesn't mean we have to put up with such behaviour though.

Take care before sending any letters, you say that ''this is the only thing this could be''

is it at all possible that there could be another debt lurking.

I suggest you check credit reference files to see what accounts are showing.

This seem very old even for MH it makes me suspicious.

Check Credit files first!!!!

You are thinking of a CCA request under CCA 1974

to get a copy of the agreement, Cost £1 and they

have 12 + 2 Days to reply there is a template in

the CAG library.

One or the other really if you are totally sure that the stat barred

requirements have been met the send this::

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

I do not acknowledge any debt to you or any company you claim

to represent.

I refer to your correspondence regarding a debt to xxxx which you

allege is owed by me.

 

Please take note that from advice received and my personal research I

state that this allged debt is STATUTE BARRED therefore I will not now

or in the future be making any payment or offer of payment.

I trust that I do not have to remind you of the OFT Guidance 2003/2011

on dealing with Statute Barred Debt and in particular the section in relation

to selling SB debt without notifying the purchaser of the status of the debt.

Other than your acknowledgment of this letter no further correspondence will

be entered into.

Send recorded delivery to their Compliance Director Mr. Robert Sands.

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi guys sorry if this is on an old post I can't find the link to start a new post.

I just wanted some advise on Mackenzie hall. I got my self in a mess with pay day loans. I've had 2 letters today from Mackenzie hall for a lending stream debt of £425 which I did have and stopped paying as my account was wiped out by Capital Finance one I was taking loans to pay rent and got into a mess. The letter I have states I have been passed to merit force for a doorstep sanction. I do want to start paying these debts off and was going to email Mackenzie hall today to try to set up a payment plan but thought I would seek some advice first.

In regard to capital finance one I had £400 outstanding but as the cleaned out my account I had to change banks I've had a letter a few weeks ago stating I now owe£1500???

As I say I do want to clear my debt just after some advice

Thanks

As you are acknowledging the debt do

yourself a income and expenditure sheet

so yo can see what you can realistically

afford.

Then you can make an offer to pay it,

but make sure you pay by standing order

not this a debit card or direct debit.

List ALL priority debts. Rent, utilities, food,

trave cost, council tax, any arrears other

pressing debts total up and compare the

result with your net income, always leave

an extra £10 to £20 for emergencies.

I had several postcodes last year and when I called it was McKenzie Hall. The adviser was going on about a £800 debt that I had no knowledge of. It could have been mine but I really didnt remember.

 

He kept going on and on about making a token payment of £25 via their website, What I soon realised was they were trying to reset the clock on SB.

 

I sent them a SB letter saying i do not acnowledge the debt, heard nothing since.

 

Funny thing is theres a search on my credit file last October by McKenzie so Im wondering if they have another?

Check again, they may have just been looking to

see what was showing on the entry.

At least they seem to have got the message.
