    • In short you never communicate with a Debt Collector, they have no power here at all. The snotty letter is only used to respond to a properly worded Letter Before Claim. The only time you would be recommended to contact the PPC is to send the snotty letter. You do nothing but keep the tripe they send you unless you receive a letter before claim.
    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .

    • 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.

Now Corbyn has called a vote of no confidence in the PM, as opposed to the government. I haven't read anything yet that explains how this works.

 

its just Corbyn trying to make sure May is weakened and hope for a hard brexit replacement or at worst just play for time.

 

If I understand it correctly,

Its a motion of no confidence in the Pm, not the Party, and is non binding.

 

Labour can actually play the no confidence vote as often as they like, although if they over-play it roo many times after losing, then the speaker should refuse it.

 

 

Whats he doing?

He's just trying to avoid a referendum,

 

- He's avoiding a full blown vote of no confidence in the government - failure of which will require him to press for a referendum per the Party conference and momentums stance.

 

It looks like he's using the Labour Party to do the ERG and DUP's work (because Corbyn wants hard Brexit),

and playing games to frustrate the party and membership and PLP's stated goals.

It's very odd, isn't it?

 

Only that he's getting away with it, although even Corbyn standfast fanboys' statements are changing.

Going to be an interesting day tomorrow.

 

May seems reasonably confident she will win,

and if she wins - that will put Corbyn firmly on the s-pot.

 

If May loses, I'm not sure what will happen.

The pressure will certainly be on to replace her, but she does have the support of most of the Tory party and has just won a confidence vote

- as they realise that almost anyone else would likely cause total war within the Tory party,

- and also realise that hard brexit = likely civil as well as economic chaos.

.. so possibly not much at all .... Yayyyy sings Jezzy. Could mean more power to parliament whatever that means.

 

 

Note that it seems Corbyn didn't want to do anything but sit back and let the clock run (a la May ooops we fell off), but various pressures pretty much forced him into a no confidence vote

- so he slid sideways with the NC vote in May rather than the government - like the snake he is.

Yep - what ERG, DUP and Corbyn want

 

Have Brexit then talk about it, and maybe plan for it - afterwards when there are NO choices left ...

 

 

Even Hunt jumped on board - going to make a success of Brexit just like he has the NHS

and the real opposition parties table a proper vote of no confidence in May government after correcting somewhat labours Corbyn pointless motion -

... of course - unsupported by labour

I agree, TJ, Corbyn's no confidence motion was just cosmetic. I read that the other parties can't table the motion with any urgency unless the leader of the opposition signs it.

 

So now HMG are planning on with no deal planning, despite most of Parliament being said to be against that. Well, what's £2bn here or there? Some commentators are suggesting that they're trying to force the 'deal' through Parliament without letting MPs have a say. Seems undemocratic to me.

judge for yourself (stupid woman or stupid people as he claims - looks like a wuh not a puh to me)

 

 

 

 

The tories also asked him how it is that he claims to be so opposed to outsourcing, when he had completely outsourced the opposition to the other parties.

... Nods from all sides - including Labour back benches

 

Corbyn is proving he is a complete liability to labour on a daily basis.

Even Owen Jones' support seems weakened and wavering - quite rightly.

 

Almost any other (apart from Abbott) leading and labour would almost certainly be in power now. Certainly nearer power.

 

 

Der Leader (pronounced liability) needs to be got rid of

- and he wont go any easier than his partner in politics May

and in slo-mo

 

 

 

Interesting that he is also still saying if May cant deliver a deal, step aside for someone who can...

Who's that then?

Corbyn cant even deliver a vote of no confidence in what must be the most clear cut case in decades.

As Putin adds to Corbyns and the DUP's support of Mays crash out Brexit:

Russian president gives backing to UK prime minister in ‘fighting for this Brexit’

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/dec/20/vladimir-putin-theresa-may-brexit-fulfil-will-of-the-people

 

 

and (Putin) supports Trump betraying the only half way legitimate forces who fought with the west against ISIS, leaving the way for Turkey to launch attacks on the democratic and tolerant Kurds:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/dec/20/syria-kurds-trump-troop-withdrawal-isis-turkey

 

.. apparently to ease the Turkish leverage against Trump ally Saudi Arabia.

 

(We should have kicked Turkey out of NATO and fully supported the Kurds)

Opinion seems to be that Putin just wants to disrupt the EU, although I thought he was doing that via social media troll factories.

 

Who knows what he's up to over Syria, that sounds like disruption too.

 

All Putin has to do is let the Turk destroy the Kurdish American allies,

and of course most of the terrorists the Kurdish/American alliance were fighting were (allegedly) Turk nusra.

 

Turkey will rely on NATO membership keeping the Russians at Bay.

As far as the Russians are concerned - they are all enemies fighting each other.

Russia keeps their presence all the way down to Iran.

 

 

After driving the Kurds back, Turkey will end up with guerilla war with Kurds, Iran, Iraq and probably Saudi Arabia (in 'secret' anyway) with Russia 'helping' the mess where it can (as will British, US, Chinese and French spooks among others).

 

Turkey will almost certainly 'win' land - during which alienation with the west will increase dramatically, and Turkey will further use displacement of civilians as leverage over the EU

NATO will continue to be massively weakened while Trump remains and the UK is in turmoil - even worse if we do Brexit. - Depending on how much - Russia might give Turkey a bloody nose after they have suppressed the Kurds.

 

Turkey will be even further split from any EU ambitions and Cyprus and surrounding gas deposits will escalate as a flashpoint with ever growing Turkish involvement.

 

EU Vs Turkey is a matter of when not if, which is why Turkey is the lever behind the undermining of NATO from within.

US re-engagement is likely when Trump is eventually thrown out/in Jail.

 

Global warming will also increase population migration and local wars.

 

... Thats likely the next 10 years thanks to Human abuse of the planet and right/left wing nutters being pandered to - because they are noisy and break laws with impunity.

Continuing on your previous topic Turkey will certainly invade Iraq to try and destroy the Kurdish homelands and probaly Armenia as well. the Russias will say nothing because they will continue their incursions into Georgia and with the US not caring and turkey giving them the nod you will see a NATO country invaded without the massive retaliation that was promised back in the 60's to 80's.

other NATO countries like Germany will do nothing beacuse of the number of Turks living there and ther countries witha Russian border will be too afraid to.

Now what would then happen if Iran has expansionist plans? Iraq ( the kurdish part) a certainty but a border between Russia, Turkey and Iran will be a major flashpoint as there was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the past so invasion by Iran and Russia equally likely to be a possibility.

 

Population growth exacerbates nationalism and opens old wounds. I hoped that when the old guard politicians in Moscow and elsewhwere who fought in WW2 died out there would be a change for the better but it didnt last.

Which is why the EU wants and NEEDS military capability, and another immensely significant reason why the UK should NOT leave the EU (although most wont even see that need - although the Brexit loss of economic strength and environmental and citizens/workers rights loss is MORE than enough reason alone NOT to Brexit)

 

 

Any US involvement is hamstrung by the Saudi ties. The yanks out of Europe and the middle east is a good thing, but europe needs to step up, with France and the UK actually becoming the partnership they should have @ suez.

I don't know why anyone even debates parliamentary antics, and what Corbyn is or isn't doing. Anything anyone says or does in Westminster to do with Brexit is currently just the epitomisation or hypernormalisation. All roads literally lead nowhere, and I don't quite understand the batty position of people that want to remain - Blaming Corbyn for not doing more. He literally can't do anything. None of the Tories know what to do, and have very little knowledge over what Brexit means. Corbyn as leader of the opposition has to be seen to be putting the Tories to task over something none of them are particularly knowledgeable about. Politicians are now blindly following the Brexit path as they're stuck in a loop of "enacting the will of the people".

I just can't believe that parliament has waltzed off on its recess with 98 days is it? to Brexit. And we think there might be a vote in mid-January. They don't seem at all bothered about the country potentially falling off a cliff at the end of March.

 

Edit: most of them don't seem to be bothered. I think Anna Soubry and one or two other MPs said they should sit over Christmas.
