    • 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.

Yeah im able to afford the loan payments havent missed one since the agreement was set up :)

 

Wonderful well if you can get away with not missing another payment then I think we can say that Barclays should be okay :)

Now we need a summary of those loans and then I will draft you a suitable letter that you can use for all 3 companies.

 

As for MYJAR... Id say not to bother with them for now... You had a couple of loans with them so I think this should be a lesson learned...

 

We could do with some help from you.

one more question.. if i do have a good case and any chance of winning ive read on a previous thread he'd asked for all info of the loans to be removed off the credit file? can this happen?

Yes it is possible... We do have cases where the ombudsman rules that they must remove all entries relating to these loans etc

But that is further down the line. When it comes to writing the letters, we can use this to your advantage.

If you can prove you cancelled the DD you may have a chance. Otherwise let it be a lesson to you to check your bank statements regularly!!

Okay, its positive that they have opened this already... However I see no reason why your email would trigger a complaint...

 

Are you sure there wasnt anymore inf your original email. I dont see how this could be a complaint unless you have you sent an attachment letter etc

So was the reply I revived a shock or standard? Wonga states they answer email queries in 1-2 days I sent on Friday now wensday still no reply

 

So I just sit back and wait now? Still nothing off wonga so them saying they answer quiries in 1-2 days is [naughty word] :)

Its up to you what you want to to do with Wonga. You can either force their hand with a SAR or you can push forward and escalate up the chain.

If you were to raise the complaint now with the Higher ups at Wonga then youd be more likely to get a response, but also Im thinking that youd get a dedicated complaint handler who would look at your complaint.

It would miss frontline. Give it a couple more days.

Right - Time to escalate...

Take your pick :) , But I got all these from an argument I had with them this year, Naturally it was resolved in my favour.

Drop them an email with a formal complaint that they have failed to respond accordingly. Lets see what happens.

Hi payday.

Im in sort of the same boat as you. I just had a question, did you go along emailing every creditor asking for the loan summary. What specific date did you request for? I am just looking for as much help as i can ger to get out of this situation.

If possible can you please just list a series of step you took. It will help me to understand what's required.

 

Many thanks
