    • 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 Caggers

 

Received a N1CPC claim form today which i have acknowledged through MOCL

 

Name of the Claimant ?=Cabot Financial

Date of issue=15th June 2014

Particulars of Claim?=By an agreement between CitiFinancial around March 2002 defendant failed to make the minimum payments and agreement was terminated.

What is the value of the claim?=870

Is the claim for a current or credit/loan account or mobile phone account? =Credit Card

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007?Approx. 2002

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. = The Claim has been issued by a debt purchaser (As i do not have any agreement with Cabot)

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment?=NO

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor?=NO (Not one that i can recall)

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ?=I have not seen any of these.

Why did you cease payments:- = Could not afford it any more, tough times, lost job, gone on benefits then out and started my life again

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? = None as i ceased payments when I could not afford it

 

I have now requested for info on CPR31.14

I have also sent (send a CCA1974 request to the claimant) with 1 pound attached PO

 

I gather from most cases in the forum, i do not need to do anything for now apart from keep an eye on the Court Calendar to file my defence.

 

Based on the dates, are you able to help me work out the latest day i should file my defense by?

 

Thanks Caggers

I don't think there was any ppi charges as I have always stayed away from them.

Thanks for your replies. Any other suggestions most welcome.

 

If there is anyone who has had some experience with Mortimer and Cabot, please say something.

 

Thanks to all for the great work.

cabot and Mortimer usually hope for an undefended default win.

not a change they'll find that.

 

I take it this has been doing the rounds of everyone before cabot chanced their arm ?

Hi. We are now in receipt of acknowledgement from mortimer clarke and offer to extend by 28 days as they consult their client. Have not received any of the other information I requested for. What's the best course of action now. Thanks Caggers

I would refuse their offer and submit on time...gives them less chance to find and manufacture any supporting paperwork.

Thanks Andy. I have looked in the forum for an example successful defence with no luck. Are you or any of the caggers able to point me to one. I just need to have an idea on the wording.

 

Am assuming they should have taken legal action with all the evidence ready so asking for another 28 days should not be acceptable amd I agree with Andy on thos one.

 

Thanks.

Hi Team

 

After filling my defence and receiving confirmation from the the court of the same, Mortimer Clarke have now come back and asked to hold while they obtain instruction from their client.

 

As am aware, they have 28 days to respond to my defence failure to which the case will be thrown out. Please advise. Thanks for your great support Caggers.

Not quite...failure to respond to your defence within 28 days and the claim is stayed automatically......they dont put it on hold. So they can take as long as they wish obtaining instruction from their client.....or more accurately looking for the relevant paperwork:madgrin:

It can be stayed indefinitely until the Claimant makes an application to lift the stay and continue with the claim. No way to know if this will or won't happen though.

 

As for being statute barred, the clock for this stops on the day the Court receives the claim so technically it will never be time barred.
