    • 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.

They cannot put anything on your credit file now relating to that debt.

 

If you had a ccj, it would drop off after 6 years though would still be pursuable had the creditor persisted in contacting you over the years. Now it is too late

to do anything by AK.

 

How do they know your new address? Or are they on a phishing trip?

Even if someone does turn up, these people are on a self-employed commission only basis, they are not bailiffs and have as much power as my dog does demanding bonio's from you!

Tell them to leave the property immediately, if they refuse, call the police and they will remove them on your behalf and state you want to press charges!

 

When they do leave, they will mouth off about CCJ this, Court that etc. This is only because they have driven to see you spending all their money on fuel and time for no commission payment!

NEVER telephone a DCA

If a DCA rings you, refuse to go through the security questions & hang up!

I'd ignore them.

Even if there was a ccj issued,as the debt has not been pursued for so long, the ccj could not be enforced anyway.

 

I'd like to know more about this. I'm not at all sure that an order of the court - a CCJ - could ever expire which means that it would always be enforceable. Is there any link to any authority which says that a CCJ only lasts for 6 years.

I know that a CCJ drops of one's credit file after 6 years - but this is a different thing.

 

Finally, you should understand that debt collectors are a law unto themselves, the CRAs are largely unregulated and out of control and it is entirely possible that a DCA could blight your credit file - even after all of this time. You might be able to challenge it - but they could still do it to you to begin with.

Are they able to put something on your credit file even if it has already previously been on there and dropped off now? that would mean that there could be a never ending succession of these parasites adding defaults onto my file?? Im pretty sure they cant put another CCJ on again surely if you have had a CCJ previously they cant take you to court again for the same debt??? Surely???

I too have had Global chasing me for a 10yr old credit debt, I made the mistake of speaking to them and they said I had a CCJ against me for it. I have no memory of the debt (doesn't mean I didn't have it!).

I think I'll go down the statute barred route and let them fight for it!

I didn't say that a ccj only lasts 6 years, Bankfodder. In fact if you read my post 6, I said there that although the ccj was still pursuable after 6 years, that as no contact

had been made within that time that it was too late to start now. This has already been covered on CAG and been stated that no Court would

agree to enforcement when there had been such a long time without any collection attempts since the ccj was granted.

"A CCJ never becomes SB but under s.24 of the Limitations Act the right to take enforcement does if it hasn't been implemented within six years".

 

This statement was made by Cerberusalert on another thread-

s.24 of the Limitations Act

 

Time limit for actions to enforce judgments.

 

(1)An action shall not be brought upon any judgment after the expiration of six years from the date on which the judgment became enforceable.

 

(2)No arrears of interest in respect of any judgment debt shall be recovered after the expiration of six years from the date on which the interest became due.

Thank you. That's what I wanted to see.

Amazing - all this time and I didn't know about this!!!

Thanks very much

Perhaps a letter to AK quoting the Office of Fair Trading guidelines on statute barred debt might be sufficient to shut them up.

http://www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/business_leaflets/consumer_credit/OFT664Rev.pdf

 

Statute barred debt

3.14 This guidance applies to the pursuit of debt regardless of its age. This section seeks to address specific issues related to 'statute barred' debt and sets out what we consider may be unfair or improper practices, whether unlawful or not. It also sets out the differences between the law in England and Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland.57

57 See Annexe B for further information on the legal position in each jurisdiction OFT664Rev | 36

 

3.15 The OFT position with regard to the recovery of statute barred debt is:

a. we accept that the situation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland is that statute barred debt still exists and is therefore recoverable. However, in Scotland, statute barred debt is 'extinguished' and is consequently no longer recoverable

b. where businesses seek to recover statute barred debt in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, we consider that the following may be unfair or improper practices:

(i) pursuing the debt under circumstances in which the debtor has heard nothing from a creditor during the relevant limitation period.58

(ii) misleading debtors as to their rights and obligations If a creditor has been in regular contact with a debtor before the debt is statute barred, then we do not consider it unfair to continue to attempt to recover the debt

For example, stating or implying that debtors may be the subject of court action for the sum of the statute barred debt when it is known, or reasonably ought to be known, that the relevant limitation period has expired.

The person seeking to recover the debt would effectively be relying on the debtor not knowing the relevant legal provisions.

(iii) continuing to press a debtor for payment after he has stated that he will not be paying a debt because it is statute barred

58 See Annexe B for further information on relevant limitation periods. OFT664Rev | 37

 

c. where businesses seek to recover debt that they know, or reasonably ought to know, is extinguished, we would be very likely to consider this an unfair or improper practice which calls fitness to hold a consumer credit licence into question.

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

315c in particular calls into question AK's fitness to hold a consumer credit licence.

 

Send a letter to AK with a cc to the OFT [marked Fitness to hold a credit licence] pointing out that you have heard nothing from anyone about the debt for 13 years in which case AK MUST

know that the debt is long since extinguished and is relying on your ignorance of the legislation to collect a debt that you cannot remember any details of. It might be helpful to include a copy of

AKs letter with the one to the OFT.

 

I would imagine that you will hear no more from AK though they might hear from the OFT.
