    • 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.

Just had a look at my tenency agreement. There's a nice bit that says if theirs any rent arrears they won't do repairs!!!

 

If the things need repairing are causing a health and safety issue or making the building unfit for habitation, then they have no choice but to repair. They cant get out of that.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Well, this is my landlords idea of "fixing" the holes in the walls:

Two days later and the holes are reappearing.

 

They had someone on the roof the other day, he was there for 7 min, another patch up job.

 

Environmental health are ignoring me still.

Hi

 

with your electricity constantly cutting out have you fought of having a chat with your local fire station and asking then to come out to do a fire inspection even if its for your property and mention the electrical issue.

Tbh the electricity has been fine since they changed the plug, for now.

 

I've just registered with council housing, hopefully this will all go In my favour.

 

Does anyone know if I can put in a copy of the environmental health report to get me moved quicker?

 

Cheers

What Env Health report? I thought they were ignoring you.

 

They initially came out and inspected the property. A report was sent to myself and the landlord detailing the issues and giving x amount of time to rectify. This wasn't done and eh said " I have a dialogue with your landlord". Since then eh have ignored every email I've sent him.

Can I refuse access to my landlords workmen until I see there credentials?

 

I'm fairly certain they are not qualified, one in particular. He's been on the phone again and surprise surprise my shower is leaking for the 18th time.

not impressed:

 

I can advise that I revisited the property and common parts with a representative from x April 2013. All works have been completed to my satisfaction and the job has been closed. Unfortunately I am unable to assist any further in this matter. I trust this information is of assistance.

Thank you for your email. I can advise that I have now had the opportunity to look at the photos you forwarded. Whilst I appreciate you dissatisfaction with the repair I must advise that from a public health perspective this is a cosmetic matter which I am unable to move forward.

 

 

 

I would advise that you bring this to the attention of x and ask them if they can take a further look at the situation. I trust this information is of assistance.

You think a wall with holes in because of damp is cosmetic???

 

Sent from my iPhone

 

I was not aware of any on going issue with damp affecting your flat as all works to address this matter have been completed. Do you know whether the problem is external or coming from another flat? also can you confirm whether you have raised the issue with your landlord? if so what was there response.

perhaps if you had checked internal works not just communal areas you would be aware problms have not been fixed. I am unable to confirm were the damp is coming from, I am not a damp expert. You know ful well multiple emails and verbal requests have been made to the landlord to fix issues, hence why you were involved.

 

I do believe page 3 of your own report states the following:

 

  1. Damp and mould growth

  1. extensive penetrating dampness to the second floor common areas AND LOUNGE AND KITCHEN WALLS OF FLAT 5. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED. The source of water ingress requires investigation. Upon establishing the source of ingress; CARRY OUT ALL WORKS NECESSARY TO STOP THE WATER INGRESS AND MAKE GOOD ANY INTERNAL DAMAGE ACCORDINGLY. IN PARTS THE WALL PLASTER IS PERISHED AND ADDLED....

FUMING!! My bathroom light went kaboom so I reported it. I was sat in my living room with music on doing uni stuff, went to the toilet, low and behold there's foot prints in the bathroom and front door was open!!! The work men had entered without permission or even knocking on the door to come in!!! They just let themselves in!!!

 

Then later they came back as I was in my way out and knocked he says "what's wrong with this light then" I said listen you know full well etc etc I told him I had to go out to work and would he lock the door with the key he obviously had "yeah no problem". I told the landlord I had to honour and make sure they lock the front door. Come home from work, guess what?! Not only was it not locked, it was wide open!!!! They've also been into my living room, the lights were left on, there was no reason whatsoever for them to go into the living room!!!!
