      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.

hi

i was last year prosecuted for benefit fraud

 

 

i hold my hands up and took what i had coming no one else to blame but me,

 

 

i was wondering the person who reported me did so by letter,

 

 

is there any way i could get this letter or a copy of it so i could see who it was who reported me

even if it wasn't sign just it could be someone i know,

 

 

i don't know but does the freedom of information act or data protection act anyway of getting these or this letter, from the dwp.

You could try submitting a subject access request and asking for all information relating to the investigation, but I suspect you would not get a copy of this letter if it exists.

 

A F.o.I. request can not be used for personal information, only a SAR under the DPA.

Even if they did submit to you the letter the personal data would be redacted.

 

If you admit to wrongdoing then why would you care who reported you. Sounds like you seek vengeance for getting dobbed in?

 

Best advice anyone can give you is to accept what has happened and move on.

To answer your question, no your lawyer will not be able to get it. There is no reason to release it but lots not to.

 

Often the letters that come in are typed and anon anyway.

 

Move on. You did wrong and admitted it. What do you hope to do by getting it?

Please do not ask me for advice via PM as I will not reply.

nothing but thanks for every ones replies. i don't intend doing anything illegal just wondered if i could maybe recognise the writing.

 

I agree an SAR would fail.

Exemptions for both third parties (identifiers would be redacted) and for 'prevention of crime' would apply.

 

If you aren't going to use it to act against the individual, either deliberately or unconsciously : why do you want their identity?

Hello there.

 

It seems to me you aren't going to get hold of this information. My understanding is that the reporting system is anonymous, otherwise people might not report benefit fraud.

 

I'm afraid I don't see what you would gain from knowing who reported you.

Ok, I can kind of see and understand. If this happened to me, I would LIKE to see who shopped me just to see if it was someone I truly thought was a friend just to was my mind I guess. The problem is that there are people that would seek vengeance out there, so rules and laws are in place to stop that happening. The reporting of benefits fraud is anonymous.

Hi Ellena,

 

A SAR is a request for data held about you and it would not require the disclosure of specific documents, such as an informant's letter.

 

As others have said, there are almost certainly measures in place to prevent you from getting info about an informant.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

I too can understand your need to know who it was that "shopped" you, as a similar thing happened to an old mate of mine years ago.

 

It did her head in, as she tried to work out who it was & it was all she could talk about, she even confronted someone, which ended badly.

 

It was not nice to watch her become mistrustful & isolate herself from our group of friends. She blamed everyone from her neighbours to her friends & family, as no matter what she wanted revenge....

 

Sad thing is, as she never found out who it was, she eventually moved far away & I never heard from her again.

 

So from my little experience of seeing what she went through, I can only imagine what your going through.

 

It's happened, you cant change this fact, you have held your hands up & taken whatever came next. Please don't let it spoil your life.

 

As others have said, move on from it & accept its an event in your life that's not going to define to you!

It looks like Miss An Ony Mous shopped, that is all you will ever find out.

 

No solicitor or court order will be able to obtain a copy of the referral letter, if it still exits.

 

We tend to destroy the letters once evidence is obtained to back up the referral so that it doesn't get shown at interview by accident or copied into the court papers, as handwriting and content can often tip the customer off.

i can understand why you are annoyed at the fact someone "shopped" you

 

but at the end of the day, you were the one at fault - and by "shopping" you, they have kind of done you a favour - as they have reduced the amount incorrectly claimed and helped you avoid getting a more serious outcome

There are many ways that Fraud can be discovered. How do you even know how your Fraud was identified? It may not have come from an anonymous source at all and may have been from a Data Match - which are where most Frauds are identified nowadays.

 

As stated above, most frauds are reported anonymously anyway, but even if someone did provide their name, this information would be treated as 'sensitive' by the courts and legal system, and a defence would not have access to this part of the file anyway.
