    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • Even a Piers Morgan is an improvement and a gutless Farage Piers Morgan calls for second Brexit referendum WWW.THELONDONECONOMIC.COM Piers Morgan and Nigel Farage have faced off over Brexit and a second referendum in a heated reunion on BBC Question Time.   “Why don’t we have another referendum about Brexit?” he questioned. “I seem to remember when 2016 came around we were told there was going to be control of our borders and it was going to be economically beneficial to this country. And eight years later we have lost complete control of our borders… and economically it seems to have been a wilful act of self-harm.”   ... Piers missed off : after all somebody said a 48/52 decision would be "unfinished business" by a long way - was that person just bul lying (again)  
    • 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?

    • 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 All, 

 

Hope you don’t mind me crashing the conversation! Also have been following posts for years as have IDR sending letters then they stop and start again. 
 

Now receiving letters from “IDR legal” and weekly texts always in full capitals. At the one week mark as per their letter from the 14th Feb before they serve a SD. Wondering if anyone has gone past this mark and they actually followed through with a SD?

 

see a lot of links of what to do if a SD is served but they always seem to be removed or out of date. Never able to see anyone’s posts if anything ever goes any further or if anyone has actually been to court and failed or succeeded against IDR,

 

Any updates additional info would be great..

I think I did read that someone got an SD but I’m not sure if it was handed to them (as dx stated before and I have done my own research- email or letter is not acceptable, it has to be physically handed)

 

even then, anyone can print an SD form from the internet, we need to find out if it is legit once someone has one.

 

But so far no one on these threads have, I believe we’re all at the same stage x

we dont remove any threads.

a thread being out of date is simply because the user got help, and nothing happened

but as per usual people can never be bothered to comeback and update us to help others.

 

even though they as you posted on an existing thread .and then were told to make your own.

hence this thread.

 

99% of SD threats are just threats hoping people wet themselves and cough up.

 

anyone can download the SD form and post it off to anyone. it has nothing to do with any court nor do the court know its been filled out an sent to a mug. 99% of the time is fake and never happens.

now if they actually after 18days start the process in court is a totally different matter.

following as in exactly same situation. Lets keep updating on our threads so we can work out how to proceed together :)

 

I know of someone with 500k loan who left Dubai years ago who has always ignored letters and had no action so hoping this is just scare tactics.

 

They dont even read the letters anymore and just return to sender but theres no return address so probably the same as ignoring.

HI Dx

 

Yes noted and thanks for the response.
 

This seems to be a new approach from IDR and now they’re so called IDR legal.

 

Have read through most posts here and followed what has been advised ignore and write to the bank (NBD) to advise address etc.

 

will see what their next move is and will update accordingly..

  • dx100uk changed the title to IDR Legal and SD countdown letters re UE NDS debt

I left Dubai early 2013 having outstanding salary of around 7 months and 7 years of gratuity which was supposedly to be paid into my NBD account which easily covered the debt I had with them. Needless to say this didn’t happen even though the chairman of the company was a multi millionaire and major share holder in NBD. 
 

Now being stated as owing around 60k AED I’m sure there’s plenty of interest added onto that..

the limitation period for commercial contracts (as set out in Federal Law 18 of 1993 (the “Commercial Code”)) is usually 10 years.

Yes people have been taken to court by IDR who rely on a supposed legal experts evidence.

Its the same letter each time.

 

They often then win the case or force you to pay up.

People just dont seem to bother posting up these results.

 

For every one person that happens to there are tons more left alone.

 

Being a numbers game it seems they focus on people they can get a quick result on ie with property.

My loan is a personal loan would this likely to be covered under the federal rule you have listed? “Usually” how would I find out for sure? 
 

if it is the case that IDR quite often win why would the advice always be ignore, if it is based on a numbers game there’s going to be some that ignore and potentially paying costs above and beyond. I had read some time ago to write back to them to provide proof of debt and quite often nothing comes back or if it does perhaps shows original debt without the interest / original agreement to understand if this claimable under UK law. 
 

I have also read somewhere under UAE law if you had already paid more than original sum borrowed then the case couldn’t be pursued. Is this actually the case and could this then be used?

Can I ask- where did you get this statement from?

Under GPDR do you have permission to post the solicitor’s name on here?

And what is your motivation to provide all of this information?

Why are you ‘helping’ and advising?

Like, where did you find this thread? Y

ou’re not in the same position as any of us, it does seem a bit weird I can’t lie

 

 

@Jdaher77 @Pk2023 @Jigglypuffs

 

what to you think?

This thread has made me apprehensive, especially after the other persons accusations.

We will never know as its a forum, but my gut has said on a couple of threads that something doesn't ring true and I may be leaning that way on this one too. 

 

As previously mentioned, I know someone who has ignored letters for years and nothing...but I also do appreciate it could well be a numbers game/luck of the draw. 

 

Has anyone had any follow up yet?

Its gone quiet on my end, but I am expecting something to materialise as I believe they probably are wanting us to sweat for a bit - they seem to like the scare tactics and bullying. 

 

Honestly, I am going to wait.

We have more to gain this way and all the stories indicating 'drastic consequences' just dont add up to me.

lol I got this from this site! Hornseys thread!

 

As I was being accused of working for IDR lol.

Ive been in Dubai for the past 20 years. knowing tons of people in the construction industry who all buggered off in 2009 means I know quite a few people going through this process!

what are you on about not in your position. Im in almost the same position. ie hassled by IDR and JandP. no SD yet however. but Im just arming myself with as much info as possible which is surely sensible. apparently not! 

 

I do find it odd that the past couple of times I've posted two brand new posters have come up accusing me of being a worker from IDR. More than suspicious.

End of the day, it seems like theres no one who's an actual expert on this and so I think we have to just go with our gut on the info provided. Too many grey areas and different apparent outcomes going on.

As we dont know who anyone is etc, its natural to question where info comes from etc

All I can say is no matter the outcome with myself, I will keep updating the thread - I think if people were getting shafted though, they'd come back and warn people. So far I have seen 1 post like that and I just felt there was something off about it.

are you (removed by dx)

 

You’ve uploaded documents under the case of (removed by dx) .

 

So unless you are him, then you quite clearly work for IDR. And you’ll have to answer for the gdpr you’ve abused by uploading a redacted document easily unredacted by editing exposure and sharpness. All the best!
