    • 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.

I payed off a debt for a parking ticket with excel in March for £269 at first letter stage.

 

Ive now been hit by red ballif letter for the total of £782 for what looks like two parking tickets.

 

There are no breakdown on the charges.

 

Now they're claiming that they can get locksmiths to let them in.

 

Now there's no way i have acess to that sort of money even thought i work

 

im a single parent receive tax credit etc.

 

What i want to know are the obliged to give me a breakdown of their charges.

 

Can they get locksmiths involved to force entry into my property.

 

Will they accept a payment plan?

 

Are they just trying to put the ****s on me

is it for the same ticket ? have you got the receipt to say you paid in March ?

this sounds like a cock up or a chancer bailiff...they must have a warrant from the Court to enter your property and the only warrant they are likely to have is one signed by Enid Blyton, until they have that isssued by a magistrate they cannot break in with or without a locksmith.

 

Yes.... you must ask not only for a breakdown but evidence to the fine, if you know it is the one you paid then you have no worries...

The reference numbers that they have put on it are different from the one that i've payed 'ive got a reference for my payment and its on my bank statement . My main concern is that they will try and clamp my car which would leave me up the river for getting to work. Should i contact them i would imagine i cant just ignore this?

I've Received a red Letter through the door today for 3 PCN's from Excel Civil Enforcement .

 

They are from about 12 months ago they were chasing at my old address.

 

This is the first correspondents that i've received.

 

They are demanding £946 in total

 

im unemployed and a single parent.

 

I need some advice i don't have the money to pay this outright.

 

I have a car it will seriously affect my ability to find work if they levy on my car.

 

There are no breakdown of fees just a demand for the total amount.

 

I would like to get the matter passed back to my local council to deal

so i can arrange a payment plan.

 

Can someone advise me how to proceed i think i qualify as a vulnerable person.

d100xUK...

This particular "Excel" are a firm of bailiffs but you are right in that there is also another Excel who are a private parking company.

 

This confusion is bound to increase when this awful Freedom Bill starts to take off.

 

Getting back to this particular problem.

 

All bailiff companies KNOW that they are not supposed to enforce a PCN at another address and instead,

they are supposed to advise the local authority that a new address has been identified and the LA should then reissue the Notice to Owner to you.

 

How many times the bailiff companies are told this but simply IGNORE the regulations!!!

 

At 8.30 you need to call the Traffic Enforcement Centre on 08457 045 007 and wait to speak to a member of staff.

 

Explain that you have received a letter from bailiffs at your current address and that all notices had gone to previous address.

 

The TEC will then email you an Out of Time Witness Statement to complete.

 

You will need one form for EACH PCN.

 

Your completed form MUST be sent back by EMAIL!!!!

 

Once received TEC will forward a copy by email to Cardiff and they in turn MUST contact Excel to CEASE ALL ENFORCEMENT.

 

This should happen some time this afternoon.

 

In the meantime, make SURE that your car is NOT around.

 

If you want to know what to put on the forms....please post back.

 

DO not speak to the bailiff.

 

He will be advised later today by his company.

Cars probably only worth a couple of hundred at best

 

I moved in December of last year

 

ive checked and it would appear that i forgot to update with DVLA.

 

There is no finance on the car its 9 years old however its vital in trying to get back into work and getting my son to school as i live in a semi rural area.

 

Would there be any benifit at this stage in completing a change of ownership details and putting it in someone else name
