    • 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 Sarajonsey ,

 

Just read your situation and my heart goes out to you and i can say with some clarity that i know exactly what your going through as my story is very like yours and involves same companies.

 

I veiwed your credit agreement and was shocked to see it was not at all like i was given as my original agreement and it has confirmed to me i have been given a totally altered copie.

 

The one you show is the one i signed in 2006! so i thank you for that as iv been trying to view one.

 

We need to all compare letters etc so i'm going to try and upload my papers later for view inlight it might help us all find the key to this dilemma i will keep all posted :gossip: xx

Looking back through my box of stuff, the last letter they wrote to me was back in 2011 where they had my CPR31.14 request and they had been told the account was in serious dispute.....the letter they sent me said that there was no record of a dispute (I have all the letters and receipts for posting them registered mail) and because I hadn't responded further they were "returning my account to the collections chase ".( I keep EVERYTHING! so how they can say there was no dispute ..I have all the letters and replies)

Since then all the letters have been sent to the wrong address so I have not had the chance to respond, until the SD delivered by hand.

Thanks for that, the reason I ask is that the CPR31.14 letter is sent once county court proceedings have been brought against someone. Bankruptcy proceedings follow a different sent of rules and processes (annoyingly).

 

We've a few people going to take a look at the thread, we should be able to provide lots of help and support going forward - we're just awaiting for people to come online.

Sent the letter Registered post...but what happens if they don't reply....?

 

Think you have asked this before. If they don't repond, then if they proceed to issue a bankrupty petition against you, then you challenge it, showing that you had offered payment based on affordability. That you have no assets to pay them, as there is no equity in the house. They would be creating an even bigger debt by using bankruptcy which would not achieve them getting payment. Cannot see any Judge accepting that bankruptcy was a sensible option.

 

They should respond, but it may take awhile, as they would have to consult Lowell.

We could do with some help from you.

If it was me in your position then I would be fighting it, but are you prepared to go to court to fight your corner and show that you won't be bullied ? You have clear evidence of a dispute that they haven't fully addressed from what I can see. If you do go to court then you should be forearmed with relevant knowledge. Bearing in mind that I certainly would want to see all compliant paperwork.

 

As has been said you have 18 days from the date the demand was delivered to you to set aside at the nearest court to you that handles bankruptcies / insolvency - you can find them here (reason being is that not all county courts handle insolvencies / bankruptcies) - https://courttribunalfinder.service.gov.uk/

 

You will need to have a read of this thread here and the links contained in it - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?355482-SD-from-Lowells-via-Hampton-Legal-for-CAP1-card-debt-HELP!!&highlight=lowells

 

I will say again you need to be able to fight your corner and show your resolve. If you need help give a shout.

Thanks 42man

I would like to fight it, but don't know whether I can do it?

 

I appreciate all the help given on here,

 

I have since replied to that letter now with the advice given,

 

however have started to get the letters coming in now from all the others, same position....disputed,

they have replied with recon or nothing all all except a letter saying "no matter what you still owe this money and we will not go away", i

t would seem that they are all taking the same route now. I have 5 in all.

 

Each one has been in dispute since 2009/2010 ,

each has been tossed around a selection of DCAs ,

each of them I have been offered a substantial discount...

quiet for a long time and

 

now they have all come back with the going to court route to petition for bankruptcy.

 

Each letter suggesting that I have not given enough evidence to support my dispute?

 

I have followed all the template letters on here....

p'haps start threads for each one

 

certainly

 

if a dca is offering a discount

 

theres a reason

 

you need to find it out

 

prob PENALTY charges or PPI etc etc.

 

are all these debts showing on your CRA file too?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

so they've mostly been defaulted 6yrs prior and have dropped off never to return.

 

the statute barring date will be 6yrs from you last financial transaction or written ack

with you signing the letter.

 

so you need to do some digging.

When did you stop making the token payments exactly ?

 

What disputes did you register ?

 

Do you have all the paperwork for these disputes ?

 

Are you in a good place where you can go into a court room to make arguments, if there is a hearing ? You could be arguing against Solicitors acting for BW Legal/Lowell.

 

You really have to be in a good position, if you want to apply for the set aside. If you are not ready, it is better to make affordable payments and to then make enquiries about any dispute issues you have. It is giving you time to challenge any unfair charges etc.

Yes I have kept all the paperwork, I sent the CCA request and when this wasn't complied with I sent the next dispute letter and that was it, didn't hear any more it just got passed around a lot of DCAs sometimes several at the same time so I sent an harassment letter as well.
