    • I have just received a letter saying that IDR has been passed a file relating to a debt with Commercial Bank of Qatar. No other details, no specifics. If I don't respond, they will assume they have the correct address (which they do) but say please phone within 7 days. I worked in Qatar 2003-2006 then went to the UAE. I did have a credit card with CBQ and it seems I didn't clear it - visited Qatar a few years later and was barred from leaving the country. Long story short - settled the debt, having negotiated a settlement and the exit ban was lifted. I have heard nothing since until this letter but, as far as I am concerned, there is no debt. I'm not sure I actually have any documentary evidence though. I'm planning on ignoring this to see if anything "official" happens but, as far as I can see, this is long past the statute of limitations of 15 years anyway Should I do anything more?
    • a CCJ does not 'expire' thus does not need any application to a court to 'extend it'. if a CCJ has not been enforced within 6yrs, then it is very unlikely any court would grant such should the claimant return to court, of which the defendant would be advised -( unless they have moved and not informed the court & the claimant such) .  
    • I contacted them when it happened. The caretaker came over, looked at it, and walked off with the tree chunks of mortar. Next morning, they had a roofer come over and enter our garden to inspect it. Friday they were supposed to speak with a scaffolding company. I had to bring up liability and potentially calling the council to report 'an unsafe structure' before they even got moving. They know all about the wedding, the preparations, our patio contractors etc. but their attitude doesn't instill me with confidence. My fear is it will end up being a legal matter which is why I posted here to hopefully receive some advice. As far as I can see, the roof is in a state of disrepair, even if it's just the mortar breaking lose due to the size and weight of the chunks - and even from ground level it's visibly clear that multiple pieces have fallen over time (though never this size so we haven't been able to identify the issue till now - we thought it was rubble left in the garden by the previous owner). Currently, we can't use 25% of our garden due to the risk of more falling mortar which is more than just an inconvenience, we can't proceed with our contractors, and at worst, it will run up in several thousand of extra expenses for us, if we have to find a wedding venue. Even if they do have it fixed in time, and we have to settle for renting a marquee and floor for the marquee and furniture and whatnot it will be additional costs only due to the neighbour's roof.

    • 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.

"They sparked uproar among newspapers and on social media, but on Friday the former Sunday Times political editor back-peddled significantly, saying the MP who tipped her off about the incident "could have been slightly deranged"."

 

"David Cameron has pointed to the potential political motivations of Lord Ashcroft, who some say was frustrated for not being offered a Cabinet post in exchange for millions of pounds in party donation funds. "

Whether it was true or not, it was very funny !

 

Not a fan of Cameron for many reasons. Comes across as a bit slippery and the way he conducts himself sometimes looks arrogant.

 

My favourite Tory who would make a good PM is David Davis, who i think Cameron beat in the leaders contest.

We could do with some help from you.

Is it not in an autobiography and its author lord Ashcroft has publicly not denied it about Camerons Beasteality allegation??

 

I suppose beasteality sounds better than Necrophilia,

 

Why no high court claim for damages if untrue??

 

We are not talking of a story from some newspaper hack but from the tory party own treasurer

 

What has the sunday times got to do with this, they did not write the autobiography, Lord Ashcroft did

 

The author of that allegation is Lord Ashcroft, not a Times journalist Isabel Oakshott

 

I can just see Dave as "Flashman" at public school, but Eaton, not Rugby

 

He tried to censor PigGate and begged the sources not to "Squeal like a pig boy"

 

He is well and truly "Hog Tied" and well known for telling "Porkies"

 

I hear on the grapevine Osbourn is next with that aussie coke sniffing hooker Natalie Rowe , Eaton at its finest

Alas unless the photo turns up there is no evidence to support the incident, no matter how much some of us would love it to be true.

Agreed it is just an unproven allegation, But no rebuttal just like Cameron. If i had that picture i would make sure it was in a safe place for my own safety

 

And guess who buried that story from the public

 

Andy coulson, the future downing street director of communications

Yeah, I'm one of those small minds who found the whole thing hilarious. Sue me :-)

 

Anyhow, I actually found myself feeling a bit sorry for David Cameron, and that's not something you'll hear me say all that often. I mean, I as a student I knew people who did things of that sort. I knew rich kids who trashed restaurants. I knew people who tortured the homeless. I knew people whose sense of self-entitlement, based on nothing more than their good fortune to have been born to wealthy parents, would overfill the combined fleet of the US Navy. And yet, I dunno - was their obnoxious upper-class thuggery really their fault? I sometimes wonder if they were ever taught, by their parents, the value of respect for your fellow man.

 

Point is, I don't know if Cameron did this thing or not, and if he didn't Lord Ashcroft should be ashamed of himself. But what's really significant is the fact that such behaviour is, from our ruling classes, basically what we expect.

It was certainly funny, it gave some small minds a bit of fun.

 

Glad you found it funny Conniff.
