    • 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.

Hi all thanks in advance for any help this forum is really helping me wish i had found it years ago.

 

I have attatched the cca i requested a long time ago and a letter rejecting my charges refund claim from a year or so ago. At the time i was in a very very bad place and couldnt be bothered to chase it up (silly i know).

 

Anyway i look any advice on whether i can still claim the £328.75 (including interest) from start of opening of this account, also silly as this sounds the agreement doesnt look very clear to me? (i am nothing like an expert though)

 

The current situation is i am paying a £1 per month to them as with most of my other creditors.

 

thanks in advance

Nothing to stop you reclaiming the unlawful charges.

 

Prepare an up do date spreadsheet and start the process again with the lender.

 

You may have to sue them to get them back.

This thread is pretty much a start to finish scenario for reclaiming via court and the process involved.

Fos are likely to agree with the lender that the charges are fair so I would say they are a waste of time personally.

just to update for my benefit as much as anything and a few more questions if i may

 

have collated all charges i had on my old sar on the excellent spreadsheet kindly provided by this site, however i then remembered that was only upto last year.

 

I have just had a postal order made out and will send for another sar and then collate all the figures, the claim is already around £600 so i would estimate it would be nearish £1000 by the time i have collated everything.

 

Questions

 

Will me making a claim affect the payment plans i have in place?

 

Never sure on this once should i sign or just print my name on letters to the halifax (or anyone for that matter?)

 

thanks again

No it won't affect a payment plan as such.

 

It won't hurt to sign but what I would do is just make a slight alteration to your normal signature just in case it gets lifted and mysteriously appears on other documents. (it has been known to happen)

 

Alternatively put crosses through it thus making it more difficult to lift.

thank you again ims

 

one further question which is related but not to halifax, having worked out some charges with other providers that totalk around£70-£130 is the same letter and spreadsheet the correct way to proceed?

 

only reason i ask is for a relative small amount i wasnt sure

 

thanks again in advance

reply today stating the following

 

"Unfortunately you have not supplied enough information to find your details on our systems. Please provide me with further information such as your account numbers (i did), date of birth and previous addresses. I am unable to continue without this"

 

 

is this just a stalling tactic?

 

thanks again

how does this look?

 

Dear Sir or Madam,

 

 

re data subject access request

 

letter dated 21/09/2012

 

 

Account number: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

I am unsure as to why you require further details as you manage to send me my credit card statement every month to the correct address.

 

My date of birth is xxxxxx my account number is above (as per first letter).

 

I look forward to your response within 40 days, as Halifax is obliged to reply under the Data Protection Act. If not I shall seek remedy from the Information Commissioner.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

 

 

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'd mention in the letter that it is obvious they are in breach of the DPA (for the reasons you have stated).

 

This being the case you are preparing a complaint to the ICO as this is a clear stalling tactic and that their 40 days for compliance is still running from the date of your original SAR.

You are not after a figure.....you would be taking them to court to force compliance under the Data Protection Act with a figure for damages at the discretion of the court.
