    • 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?
    • 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.

Hello to you all,

My Issues with Abbey.

 

 

I have been with the Abbey for 10 years and have had my ups and downs with them at first they where fine, as of late its getting beyond a joke with their over zealous chargers.

 

I have sent letters 1 and 2 to the head office in London and I had an offer letter back on 12/12/06 with an offer of £290 and it stated that it was their final offer and like it or lump it attitude.

 

 

I started court proceedings on the 12/12/06 and today received a letter from the court saying that they are defending the charges.

 

My first gut felling was panic but after I thought about it I was angry that they have taken money from our account unlawfully, its not just my money but my wife’s money as it’s a joint account.

 

Well I’m claiming £3000 plus 8% interest and fees for the last 6 years and I want to attend court so I can exposes them for what they realy are.

 

I will keep you guys posted on events.

 

Good luck with you fight for fair and transparent banking if there is such a thing.

I received a letter from Abbey today wanting to review my case/claim, they are saying that I have not provided any information nor my bank details.

 

I have sent two letters recorded delivery and provided them with all the statments with the charges on.

 

is this delay tactics or is this dept not talking to each other?

 

 

the odd thing is there is no name on the letter to respond to.

 

Do I just put the information on an Excell spreadsheet?

 

cheers

Did you noy already send the spreadsheets with your letters?, if not, you need to do it now and send one copy to the vcourt (referenced with your case No) and one to the bank.

Hi,

 

I received a response back today from Scabbey with an offer of half the charges from 7/00 to 12/07 and do not include the charges for 10/00, now my first letter to the scabbey was dated 10/06 so I will be looking for the charges refunded from that date.

 

 

The scabbey have filed a defence with the court but would like to settle out of court, I don’t think so, I’m going for the kill and will be filling out the AQ form.

 

 

On one of the paragraphs in the letter made me laugh:

 

“Even if it were correct (which is not accepted) that the charges are greater than Abbey `s actual loss in dealing with your account, the charges are liquidated damages, and not penalty charges and are therefore valid pre-estimates of loss”

 

 

Just a few Q:

 

 

Can anyone tell me what are liquidated damages?

 

And do I reply to Scabbey rejecting their offer as they have not given me a figure ?

Or do I accept their offer but only as part payment.

 

 

Thanks for your advice in advance.:)

I have just found this site have a look at this item regarding Liquidated Damages.

 

Liquidated damages clauses are enforceable provided they are a genuine pre-estimate of loss not penalties under UK law.

Update.

 

I have just sent a letter to Christine Cody Milton Keynes refusing her offer for half the charges but I will accept the offer as part payment. I have filled in the AQ form ready to be returned to court...

 

 

It will be interesting too see what the responce will be. they will want to play games, I cant believe how modern day banks can be se deceptive and take large sums of money from their customer, If more people claim the Scabbey national will have no customers left to deceive.

Hiya Scouse,

 

I am just starting my claim with the Scabbey and am following your fight. All that liquidated stuff is just trying to intimidate and panic you isn't it.

 

Good Luck, and I will be starting my own thread tomorrow when I've got an hour to get my head together

OMG, I have spent a few hours reading thru some posts and I noticed that the ScAbbey follow a standard letter format when dealing with clams, the same as the computer generated standard letter telling you what you already know. Can’t these people think for them selves? What is this world coming too? I have had more charges levied on my account from November when I made a complaint Now I have just received two other returned Unpaid DD today because they have made me go over my limit, I CANT BELIEVE IT. Talk about keeping you down. I AM MAD. I feel another claim coming on when is it all going to end. I have just sent another letter to ScAbbey today asking for my hard earned cash back.

Okay, Its seems like I have been on a long roller coaster ride and it had just come to a stop.

 

I recieved an email from ScAbbey today saying we will be settling in full and with interest including court charges.

 

My court date was 25th April two weeks before the dead line, I cant believe it!.

 

I would just like to say a big thank you too you all for your help and forward thinking. When I get my money back a donation will be on the way. You guys rock!

Congratulations!

 

You've made it all look relatively painless! Did the email come out of the blue as a nice suprise or did you have to chase them?

 

Make sure that you have the money in the bank before you stop the court proceedings though!

 

Well done!
