    • 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

I have a couple of credit card debts from Dubai, one of which I'm getting hassled about via email by IDR.

They said they got my email details via a credit agency....(its the same email as the bank would've given them!)

my thought is, that really we're in a stalemate. I have no assets and work as a freelance (ie they cant take any wages if it came to it)

therefore why would they spend cash as its not their debt, to take me to court. and on top of that what would it achieve?

Im sure im being simplistic but what have I got to actually fear?

Thanks in advance

thanks for the reply dx.

 

I can send a letter to the UAE direct to the collections department

 

. You never know with these places they are so poorly organised. You'd recommend this rather than sending it to IDR?

 

Also what evidence should I retain of this?

send a simple letter ref the A/C number only informing the BANK of you correct and current address.

 

you ignore the powerless DCA until/unless you get a letter of claim.

many thanks DX I will do follow this advice. 

 

one comment on what I've read on here. IDR  / the banks seem to rely on the non exclusive jurisdiction clause.

 

However surely that would mean once its been through court here, it would no longer be active in UAE.

 

Of course that is not how they work ie they would go for both UK and UAE if you ever returned.

 

Is there not a way of highlighting and fighting there use of this clause on that basis?

Doesn’t mean anything if it’s not been passed through the correct procedures in the UAE and through central bank. Listen to DX they don’t own the debt !! The debt is still with the banks

Hi Dubai 5.0,

 

I've read all the threads on this as I'm in the same boat myself, however, I'm not a UK resident/citizen and have never lived in the UK (currently in Oz) so they can't really do anything.

 

They have however, bankrupted a good few people that do live in the UK. Search the bank names below and you'll see a few dozen but given the amount of people that left the UAE with debt, this is a tiny minority. 

https://www.thegazette.co.uk/insolvency

 

If you have no assets, you have no worries as the court costs are expensive, especially if the chance of recovery are low. Just bear that in mind down the road if you were to buy a house in your name, you might be worth coming after. If your debt was low, I'd just try to settle it with the UAE bank (they will usually knock off all the added interest).

 

If your debt is large, however, like mine, best to ignore them and wait out the 10/15 years statute of limitations.

Looking through my old emails (I hadn't received one from IDR for a while and assumed they'd just gone quiet) and I notice that I'd received a couple direct from the bank in dubai making offers with discounts etc. does this suggest IDR handed back the account or am I reading too much into it?

 

previously when the bank stopped sending me mails was when I started receiving them from IDR

I have two cards which im in large debt to. One is emirates nbd which iDR disappeared from hassling me probably as I have no assets

 

im now being chased by another JandP. the amount has doubled, I have little interest in dealing with this one.

 

Thing is

my other card , the bank in UAE have been contacting me saying moriarty will get in touch.

 

Moriarty haven't said anything and that was said to me in march.

 

Now the bank are offering to give me a payment plan minus interest (they haven't been adding any on anyway which is quite decent of them)

Should I get in touch to find out more?

Can I get in touch to find out without giving them some rope to hang me with?

 

or should I just hang tight?

Hello all,

I've been on here before with regards my credit card debt and have now received a pap loc letter from J and P. obviously there is a great deal of interest added on.

I will download the reply letter that is on here but what reason can I give for the dispute?

Thanks in advance.
