    • 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.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

These letters are really quite funny, eg we MAY use the court or a debt collector may visit.

 

Personally I would send the letter 10 days into this 14 day offer of the discount adding that you will give the 21 days to respond dushing closer to SB all the time.

 

they are full of shiznit.

 

so your first letter, i may amend that a little bit and send that off. give them 21 days to respond, shall i post my draft on here or fire it straight off? i'm aware that they read this forum from other posts you guys have made.

 

i will throw the book at them when this is done, they had another debt of mine and when I told them it was SB they came up with a phantom payment, i asked them for proof of it - that was 2 years ago and haven't heard from them about that since. but they are chasing this? unbelievable!

have you seen this before DX? do they generally go to court straight afterwards? i'm thinking that as I have six weeks to string out may as well make contact now as i don't want to risk anything else appearing on my credit file!

hi all

 

just to update you, I have drafted an amended version of brig's letter and intend to send this at the end of next week. I have given them 21 days to respond and say that unless they can confirm it is me they are chasing they should close the account.

 

i have also told them i am sending copies of the letter and all the other pieces of toilet roll they have sent me to the FOS and OFT, can I do this by email?

i've decided that since I've been on this forum for so long dealing with these scummy DCA's, I now need an avatar. :lol:

 

in other news, the letter has gone off to Lowlifes, I have given them 21 days to respond and we will see what they have to say in due course.

I will be home in a couple of hours but still expect to have received no response from them. I have no choice but to think they have completely disregarded the letter I sent and are continuing to harass me. i'm thinking this is an automated email as well so they haven't bothered to close the account or make any amendment to it. what next?

My guess is whoever sent the e-mail has no idea about any other correspondence.

that's fair enough but surely if they are taking the letter seriously they should be ceasing any communication until the account has been resolved?

 

alternatively having read a few threads they tend to contact people by email when they don't have an address for them so maybe they are trying to follow up at my old address/via other contact details.

 

i don't want them to start court action against me at an old address is it possible this will happen without my knowledge??

So which way do you want to do it - dingbats.

evening all, I have today received first correspondence from Lowell addressing my complaint. the letter has been sent by standard post (no urgency really).

 

*************************

 

Date: 22nd March 2013

 

To Psyduck

 

Your Lowell account:

Lowell Reference Number: XX

Original company name: Dollar Financial

Original Account Number: XX

You owe: £XXX.XX

 

Dear Mr Psyduck

 

Thank you for taking the time to contact us recently.

 

I can confirm that your complaint has now been passed to the Complaints Resolution Department who will carry out a thorough investigation. We will investigate this as quickly as we can, but we may need to contact you for further information or to provide you with an update.

 

If we can contact you by telephone, we will be able to discuss your concerns directly with you and hopefully agree a resolution with you verbally. This is the quickest and easiest way for us to resolve this for you.

 

I would like to assure you that the account will be placed on hold, and we will stop all collections activity while dealing with your complaint.

 

We enclose a copy of our internal Complaints Procedure for your information. Please take the time to read this, as it explains fully the steps we will follow in responding to your complaint.

 

In the meantime, if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact my team by calling the freephone telephone number: 0800 542 0058*, which brings you directly through to the Complaints Resolution Department.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Michael Thorne

Complaints Manager

 

****************

 

Overleaf they detail their "complaints procedure" which involves acknowledging the complaint within 5 working days of receipt, reviewing the complaint and sending a response/update within 4 weeks, and a final resolution within 8 weeks.

 

now a few things have irked me about this letter.

 

1. The collections action has NOT stopped, seeing as they emailed one of my old email addresses yesterday (27th). Their letter was dated the 22nd, meaning they are still performing collection activity. Not good.

 

2. I have told them "the debt is not mine", but they still persist sending letters telling me "YOU OWE XXX". The whole reason for the complaint was that the debt was not proven to be mine, correct? What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

 

3. Finally I don't appreciate the fact they are trying to get my telephone number. I know full well they will start harassing me if I can't even trust them to stop emailing.

 

What next?

 

Shall I write to them and say letter only and take up the points I've outlined above? Or just wait for them to reply? I want to give them more food for thought, every time they contact me they enrage me more :-x
