      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      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.

      Judge & Priestly

      By Bhindi lover · Posted

      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?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Couldn't go to today. Car was packed, parents, brother, sister and niece had to be somewhere.

I asked my dad if I could phone the council tomorrow and he said I could. So I could ask to be refereed over the phone. Didn't know why they didn't take me. I can't go on my own as I have no idea what to say.

 

That's fine, Casper. Call them in the morning, tell them that you're homeless and you need a referral. Just answer any questions they have for you, then come back here and let us know how it goes.

Casper!

I honestly can't say I'm surprised that you still haven't sorted anything out, I am sorry but I think that there will always be something that gets in the way and until you pull your socks up and deal with this yourself for your to move on with your life you are simply going to plod on just as you have done since this thread started and are you really suprised that people are infuriated with your lack of action.

 

PLEASE can you just phone them tomorrow morning to get things started? The people there areonly human they will not judge you and will help as best as they can IF that is what you want of course. If you do want the help then go and get it if you don't then simply carry on as you have been.

Casper you are 26 or 27 years old, why are you not capable of taking responsibility for yourself?

Of course you can ask for help but you shouldn't expect the help just to be given.

You can always ask you parents for the telephone number and simply call the team yourself tomorrow, surely you don't need somebody to call for you?

 

I am mid 30's and although I know I can ask my parents for help at any time I also know full well that as an adult I am responsible for looking after myself and I have been since I left school 20 years ago, I certain;y never expected anybody to run around a\fter me then and I most certainly don't now.

I was going to call them. My parents just know the number, which I will ask for tomorrow. I used to be phone shy after something happened to me over the phone. And I also have low confidence and very shy. But I can ask the council myself. Just have to ask mum for which department, as never had to call them before. I am 26, when I said I was 26, it was days before my birthday.

Just tell them that you're homeless, and need a referral...they'll ask you questions as you go along.

I've had similar thoughts too.

 

People sometimes 'cant see the wood for the trees' and get tied up with 'other stuff' in an effort to block out a bigger issue.

 

The main problem here is lack of any positive action on part of the original poster.

 

I can't see why their mother would be fined for having them stay - that doesn't make any sense to me - I am aware of no rule which says a parent cannot have a child stay, even an older one.

She would lose money from her housing benefit for having another adult in the house unless they are unwaged. I believe the deduction is £20.

Yes, I know...but Casper appears to have forgotten where her sanction letter is so she has no proof of income, or lack thereof in her case.

 

To be honest, it's sort of the least of her worries, really. I still have no idea what happened with the compliance interview she was supposed to have. Or where her furniture is, or if it's her LL she owes £1600 to. Thinking about it, I just have no idea generally when it comes to this thread. The plot, I appear to have misplaced it.

I know the wheelsof government take a long time to turn but this us just silly.

 

Another question,and it may be rather rude. If you are very shy (and i do not doubt the issues this causes people) why was it a problem working in a factory with people who didn't speak English?

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Very careless of you laughing girl but with the stuff you are going through who can blame you.

However i think my plot may be hiding out with yours.

 

There's a joke in here, but I don't dare go for it in case I unwittingly identify my 'employer'.
