    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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 there,

 

I have read many threads on here but just need some clarification on what to do next.
 

Had a credit card in Dubai, made redundant in April 2020 still have no job in the UK and no money.

Latest address on credit file is a friends address for paperwork to go to whilst i was away and address not updated as no proper address (should have one soon)

 

IDRWW are chasing me for the the first time with the email below. 
 

I have read in other posts i should update my address with IDRWW, dispute and dont admit to the debt and ignore any future correspondence?

Is this correct and if i do this then at what stage or what letter should make me reply/react/do something?

 

All social media has been lockedown or removed. 
 

Seems to be a lot of threads that just drop off so i will continue this thread with updates and timelines for a structured approach and actions to take. 
 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thats not really on 

as they can't simply assume an email address is correct.

 

it's solely sent to make you reply

pers i wouldn't until you are settled

you'll get letters anyway via your mate...so no real rush?

 

the only time your really need to respond is if they issue a letter of claim 

as detailed in the threads you've read.

Thanks @dx100uk

 

so when i get settled, i should provide them with an up to date address?

 

debt is around 50k aed - what is likelihood they will issue a letter of claim?

 

reading all the other threads. The issue if claim needs to come from the bank itself in the UAE as the owner of the debt and DCA such as IDRWW cannot commence proceedings on their own?

 

just want to be crystal clear what to do, when do it and how to approach.

A load of rubbish and I cannot believe Mr Coyle and his cronies are still trying this on during Covid.  

They do not own the debt simple as that!!!

 

I replied back to them time and time again and even the people at IDRWW to tell them if they continue to message me each time I will send it to the SRA and the FCA and make my complaint. I even told step change and citizens advice as they still quote to seek help when then know full well they cannot as nobody is up to speed with what to do.

 

I communicate with the banks and the banks only as this is who I owe my money to and will only pay.

Not CWD not IDRWW and none of those foolish collection agencies from Dubai that will start to call and email you like crazy.

 

11 years of it.

Create a new email and keep everything there for evidence and like DX has said don’t reply yet. 


i have an article going in the National next week as there are some new laws where you can arrange monthly payments with the banks.

@rgainethat’s great thank you. 
 

can you share your twitter with me via message as i saw on your other posts you tweet about this sort of stuff?

 

where are you currently with your situation, have you ever had letters of claim to go a uk court?

 

your story sounds so tough and for so long, i can’t begin to imagine what it must be like for you.

@dx100uk @Andyorch

 

dear both, has there been any claims for UAE debt that has gone to UK courts and been successful for the UAE banks? If so could you point me in the direction where i can learn how/why this happened?

 

not backdoor CCJ’s but after following the templates and request for info on this forum?

 

so many threads on here have no endings. 
 

thank you both.

Because nothing happens..they think they dont need to update us.

 

There have been losses even here but thats mainly down to people not following advice correctly.

 

There have also been numerous wins in the past  by them outside this forum but most of them have been patsy cases.

The other issue with these often large foreign debts being chased, is that the debtor is not in a position to pay very much and has no assets.  So when threats are made to issue the Court claims, the UK Debt collecting Solicitors are made aware by the debtor that they have very little to offer. This makes the debt very unattractive to collect, as the costs incurred may be more than the amounts collected.  At this point the debt is referred back to the foreign Bank.

We could do with some help from you.

the statute barred clock keeps ticking.

 

referring the debt back to their client effectively means nothing, they were always the 'pusher' anyway, though sometimes i wonder if IRDWW/CWD simply chase these debts off their own back without any reference or knowledge of their client in the 1st place ...simply to mug people for their own gain and the banks see none of what they collect.

This is very true.

 

When I questioned Mr Coyle Mr Letheren ( who by the way was operating under a different job title for IDRWW which I called him out on) and Mr Coleman part of CwD about their knowledge and do they know the full facts to the letters they are sending out, the only answer I would ever get is that “we represent the bank we don’t own the debt” to which point I give up.

 

They don’t have any legal right and even the FCA confirmed this with me although they are free to chase but until they buy this debt and that debt has passed through the courts of the UAE in the correct legal manner then there is nothing more to say.

Which is correct but if they simply issue the claim in the Banks Name and they act as Solicitors ?

Its 50/50 as in any court claim.....dependent on the strength of their case....the Judge presiding....if they have followed due process.

I was simply clarifying that just because a debt has not been assigned...dont presume you are safe from a court claim.

We could do with some help from you.

Of course a payment plan can be put in position but not without a CCJ being registered using the court form N245......the only way to enter into a payment plan with no CCJ is to settle by way of a Tomlin Order with payment plan.

Okay. 
 

a CCJ would be absolutely detrimental for me and have only had the first email IDRWW. 
 

should i contact the banks and try to arrange a payment plan? Based on the other threads i see they dont play ball with these and refuse point blank. I would now be able to make some repayments as i now have a job in the UK but not the repayments i was making whilst i was there. 
 

im really stuck what to do. 
 

Alot of the the times i can see that it doesnt go to court and that’s it but sometimes it does and no one really can see why they do/or dont. 
 

i know you both give sound advice all the time so really any help or direction would help me mentally. 
 

thanks all.

as long as they have an address in the UK that you will reliably and timely get notice of any LETTERS sent to you....you are safe to ignore.

I made an agreement with Emirates and I pay £20 a month through Iban job done.

I got in touch with the hierarchy on LinkedIn and explained my situation and also the fact it’s been 11 years and I’m getting tired of dirty Dubai collection agencies and then these uk solicitors trying to collect it.

 

I just said either sell the debt and let me deal with this in the uk or at least accept my payment.

They accepted as reduced my loan/cc and no more hassle.

 

The other 2 banks I am at a standstill as they have broke Every law from the penal code in the UAE and central banking laws let alone uk laws and still get contacted from collection agencies from time to time but I have my reply ready in the email I set up for Dubai.

 

One of these banks tried using Mr Coyle and IDRWW and I’m still waiting after 6 years.

As per DX don’t panic and don’t be scared !
