    • 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.

I have had a contract with O2 online since 2002, recently I haven't been using it so I enquired about cancelling my contract and the penilties involved with doing so. Only to be told by the customer services team that when I upgraded my phone last Dec I was put on an 18 month contract not my normal 12 month one , so it would cost me £150 to cancel it.

 

Obviously I questioned this as I wasn't told when I upgraded that it was going on an 18 month contract,If I had been told I wouldn't have agreed as I don't see the point in 18 month ones, plus why when for 3 years where I have been on a 12 month contract would I suddenly change? Plus I have just realised I'm being charged £5 more a month for this contract.

 

Anyway yesterday and this morning I have spoke to 3 people at O2 who had said the same 'it's in our notes you agreed to this and theres nothing more we can do', so I have sent an email of complaint to O2 regarding this, I'm not holding my breath for a quick response.

 

Where do I stand on this?

not to sure on where you stand, but for getting a better deal from o2, try:

 

ringing and saying you want to cancel contract and they will try to get you to stay by offering deals

Mortgage Express charges- settled in full after issuing claim

Tried that one already, they are not interested as far as they are concerned because they have notes on the system saying I agreed there is nothing they can do. I'm really unhappy about this and have expressed this to the customer services team, stating that is they valued me as a customer then they would offer me something I mean I've been with them 4 years and never had a complaint with them until now.

hello there. i used to work for vodafone so i might be able to offer some help.

 

can you tell me how you upgraded? (was it over the phone?)

 

did you sign any paperwork?

 

thanks,

Hi,

 

My contract is via O2 online so I upgraded over the phone as I have done since I took out the contract in 2002.I didn't sign a contract when I upgraded last year I never have when I'm just upgrading my handset, which as far as I was concerned last December that was all that I was doing.

 

With it being an online contract I don't think I have ever signed one,I have no paperwork at home and a contract is something that I would keep, even if it was from 2002.

The industry has moved en masse to 18month contracts as standard, and this has not been widely publicised. Basically, it gives them a bettre handle on churn, and as the clock effectively re-sets each time you have your phone replaced, it may have been mentioned to you as part of the arrangement but not highlighted as a major change - if you see what I mean. You will have accepted their contract verball, so will have no documentation, but the contract is online and can be viewed. If you are SURE you were never told of the change fromn 12 > 18, you can dispute it and ask them to provide the evidence of your agreement - this may be as an email or voice recording. If they cannot substantiate their claim, you can walk away from the deal, so give then 21 days to provide this in WRITING (includes email) and if they do not, demand the account is closed within 30 days, as you are giving them notice.

My daughter was having a similar problem with T Mobile, 5 phone calls and 3 letters no result. One letter sent direct to the CHief Executives office showing my consumer action group email address and within 2 days an email from his office apologising and cancelling all charges as requested. RESULT!!!! Get a consumer action email it shows you mean business
