    • 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 i really need some help.

 

I have numerous DCA chasing me for debts from a few years ago. Cut a long story short none of these debts were placed on my credit report, i can not remember the debts in question and im starting to lose the will to live !.

 

Currently i have sent two different letters, the first one stating that i have no recollection of these debts ect, then the second was the letter stating you have not contacted me after 12+2 days ect. These letters were taken from the templates i found on this GREAT site.

 

One DCA have replied stating the matter is closed and has been sent back to the original creditor to deal with and contact me ???? (REALLY ??) and the second out of FOUR have sent a letter back (and this is where i think I've slipped up big time) they are stating i need to send £1 to receive the documentation !!!!!!

 

I have not enclosed any money or £1 cheques to anyone and i wasn't aware i had to.

 

Will this affect the 12+2 days ect for them to respond to my letters because its been way over the 12+2 days more like 22 and they are NOW just getting in contact with me !!

 

SOMEONE pls help because mentally i cant deal with this issue any longer.

 

Thank you.

Hi

 

I have started a new thread for you.

 

The letter requiring a copy of the agreement (S77/78 request) requires a payment of £1 so if you haven't paid that amount then the clock hasn't started ticking yet.

 

Can you give us some details and history of these debts. If these debts don't appear on your CRA file then there is a chance they are attempting to fleece you for something that is not due. Without more detail we can't say at the moment

How old are these debts, and when did you last make any payments?

When did you last check your credit files.

Wow thank you for the speedy response guys OK...

 

Company -Dlc - letter sent 12 Oct 2011 asking for 693.30. Client Hillesden securites.

- i called them saying i had no idea who they were they said all they know is that i owe the money and they would reduce it to 173.33 and that would be it which i found very strange. BILL STARTED APPARENTLY 28th MAY 2006

 

Company -Ruthbridge - No letter sent but a call out of the blue saying i owe 318. Client Argos.

- i spoke to the very nice man !!!!!!! who said i owe the money but would reduce it to 240 if payed off via credit card. BILL STARTED APPARENTLY 10th NOV 2007

 

- This company then sold the debt off to Zinc Recoveries who sent a letter 6th March 2012 asking now for the original 318 ??

 

Company Lowell Portfolio I - Letter received 14th March 2012 asking for a WOPPING 4509.58. client HBOS PLC.

- i spoke to this company via the phone and was told i owe the money and to pay up. BILL STARTED APPARENTLY 20th Dec 2001

 

On the 19th of March 2012 i sent to all companies a letter from a template i got from here saying i have no recollecting of this debt pls send the required information ect ect BUT I DID NOT enclose any £1 fee.

 

Within the 12+2 i received a letter from LOWELL saying " they are waiting for the response from the original creditor pls be patient and that THERE IS NO LEGAL OBLIGATION THAT STATES WE MUST SEND THIS INFORMATION WITHIN A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD and that they dont hold this information within there offices"

 

That was the last letter from LOWELL and no other letters were sent within the 12+2 days. After the 12+2 days on the date the 2nd April i sent the second letter to all companies that said that you have not sent the required information and that the account has entered default ect ect.

 

Ruthbridge after selling my debt on has sent a letter dated 3rd April saying they have sent the file back to original creditor (which is funny as they already sold it on to Zinc) and then stated they will no longer contact me.

 

Zinc have not contacted me AT ALL !!!

 

Dlc have sent me a letter which was dated 10th April saying to comply with the CCA 1974 i have to enclose the £1 for the information to be sent and that they cant respond until this is done. (BUT WHY COULDN'T THEY OF SENT THIS AFTER THE FIRST LETTER WAS SENT).

 

Hope this information doesnt confuse anyone, like i said i cant take this anymore kinda felling ill.

 

Thank you to all involved,

Most of these offering discounts are likely to

have no agreements or are statute barred (6 years no payment or written acknowledgment)

or nearly so.

 

You do need to send CCA requests to the debt collectors it will keep them quiet

for a while, meantime you must check your credit reference files, use Experian and

Equifax free trials, it will show default dates and actual ownership of the debts.

I they don't show on CRA files then let us know and we can advise further.

The last time i checked i could see that only lowell was not on my CRA this was about 3 months ago. But if i need an up to date one ill have to do it. The only issue with this is that i have a HSBC self service card meaning i cant pay for things via the net and so i cant apply for any free CRA or £2 CRA's

Oh gosh can u do that sort of thing :oops:..... looks like i need to get a CRA done again dont i !.

 

The issue is if i do owe these debts altho i cant honestly remember them, if they don't comply within the regulations regards the paper work can they still enforce the debt.

 

Again thank you for your help.

You really have to think about whether anything has actually changed, since companies started to chase for these debts. From what I could see when helping with a relatives debts, is that the debts kept on being passed around the various DCA's. They kept threatening various, but nothing was ever followed through with. Eventually the debts became statute barred after 6 years. The only one my relative settled, was a mortgage debt, where they paid about 10% of the debt as a full and final settlement. They did this, as mortgage debts could be be chased for 12 years.

 

If any of the debts are not likely to be statute barred, then just ask DCA's for evidence of the debts. If they don't have the paperwork, then the letters from the DCA's are really only speculative invoices. With the CCA request letter, just send them a £1 postal order.

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks buddy.

 

The way this is unfolding it looks like ill have to send all the relevant letters again with the £1 included then just wait (again). Obviously this isnt a problem apart from the rise in stamp prices lol. These so called debts i owe look like store cards ect which leads me to believe my ex has a part in this :-x. But as unsecured debts im just going to send the letters out again with the £1 wait then just ignore them after that.

 

Its funny im fighting for my country whilst getting attacked in my own country by these vultures .
