    • If you have not kept the original PCN you can always send an SAR to Excel and they have to send you all the info they have on you within a month. failure to do so can lead to you being able to sue them for their failure.......................................nice irony.
    • Thank you and well done  for posting up all those notices it must have have taken you ages.. The entrance sign is very helpful since the headline states                    FREE PARKING FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY in capitals with not time limit mentioned. Underneath and not in capitals they then give the actual times of parking which would not be possible to read when driving into the car park unless you actually stopped and read them. Very unlikely especially arriving at 5.30 pm with possibly other cars behind. On top of that the Notice goes on to say that the terms and conditions are inside the car park so the entrance sign cannot offer a contract it is merely an offer to treat. Inside the car park the signs are mostly too high up and the font size too small to be able to read much of their signs. DCBL have not shown a single sign that can be read on their SAR. Although as they show photographs which were taken the year after your alleged breach we do not know what the signs were when you were there. For instance the new signs showed the charge was then £100 whereas your PCN was for £85. Who knows, when you were there perhaps the time was for 3 hours. They were asked to produce  planning permission which would have been necessary for the ANPR cameras alone and didn't do so. Nor did they provide a copy of the contract-DCBL  "deeming them disproportionate or not relevant to the substantive issues in the dispute" How arrogant and untruthful is that? The contract and planning permission could be vital to having the claim thrown out. I can find no trace of planning permission for the signs nor the cameras on Tonbridge Council planning portal. and the contract of course is highly relevant since some contracts advise the parking rouges that they cannot take motorists to Court. I understand that Europarks are now running that car park which means that nexus didn't  last long before being thrown 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.

2010 Loan Debt from Dubai bank last paid 2009 and IDR letters by Email


Recommended Posts

Hi guys.

I have been reading through lots of posts regarding IDR and the consensus seems to be ignore but protect yourself by informing the Dubai bank of your current address. 

I have not heard from any DCA until last week when i received an email ( very polite and they only want to help type of thing etc) - the first email didnt even have a figured owed or the bank name - the latest email does, but is still very polite in its tone. 

At no point  in 14 years have i informed the bank of my address - to be honest i didnt know this was a thing - to my shame i went with the "head in the sand" approach. 

The Debt is just less the 50k DHS

I have a couple of questions

  1. if i contact the bank, is this snail mail, or will email suffice? ( should i be doing this or is my debt statute barred by now?) 
  2. will me writing a letter to them in anyway acknowledge the debt and restart the counter?
  3. is it a good idea to do a ( Data) Subject Access Request on IDR to see what info they actually have on me - where it came from and how has it been handled etc?

1. snail mail only. SB is 15yrs UAE.

I have checked the IDR website and they say that Statute barred is 10 years in the UAE but that might just be a ploy to get you to contact them!

Thanks to you both for replying - i did look at the website and saw they said 10 years.

i imagine certain debts have different limitations, they are technically might not lying but getting you to stick your head above the parapet. 

I shall write a letter to the bank tomorrow ( is there a template available within this site

) -  is there a department i should be addressing it to, 

and is it wise to send it recorded delivery? 

After they have received the letter - am i then likely to receive letters from furthers DCA's, do i ignore them?

i took the loan in dubai out in 2008 but due to losing my job i stopped paying in September 2009 - do i only have to ride this out until September this year?

thread title updated. cheapest post you can get.

Loans are 15yrs in the UAE.

as i said there is no templates, simply write to the bank giving your new uk address.

get free proof of posting , thats all that is needed. 

IDRWW will never be able to raise a claim in that time.

a dca is not a bailiff. zero legal powers

just dot ignore a statutory demand letter or a letter of claim or a court claimform from northants bulk.

a previous thread by underP04 contains the expert evidence of mr edge that they repeatedly use and it says the statute of limitations is probably 10 years (they dont know themselves) so ignore.

well dont tell them now!

They restarted on me after JandP had a go and when they restarted the first letter had the initial balance from 5 years previous. suggests a lack of real interest and care taken from bank or them.

Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious 

An update -

- I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)  

- I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai) 

- IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all.

- i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

we have known for a very very long time that 9/10 the OC never knows IRRWW are chasing debtors nor  in some cases even taking money from them that the OC never ever see!! IDRWW pockets it -  free money - lets all go on a staff holiday.

there was an article some years back whereby that quoted some +£4M debtors had paid to IDRWW on UAE debts that when contacted the originating banks knew nothing about....😎

An update -

Still receiving emails and letters - but have been getting text messages too. nothing aggressive just asking me to get in touch. 

 

the text makes it look like it from the bank on first glance - it reads -   'the banks name' would like to dicuss our recent communication...etc... then lists IDR phone number and email

FYI - reporting them as spam

Further update - emails are getting a bit more threatening, talking about CCj's, Attachment of Earnings, Warrant of Execution, Bankruptcy and Charging Order - i am not replying. 

am i right to keep ignoring these? i sent my creditor an address update a few weeks ago and IDR are still sending letters to my old address, so i dont believe they are acting in good faith.

Ignore that its a standard letter

as below


Attachment of Earnings - If you are employed, money could be deducted directly from your employment salary to repay the debt.

Charging Order - If you own your home, the debt could be secured against your home, meaning that when you come to sell, the proceeds would be used to settle the debt in full.  A separate application could also be made to force the sale of your home to repay the debt. 

Warrant of Execution - Personal goods/possessions could be seized up to the value of the debt and sold at auction. 

Bankruptcy - Bankruptcy Proceedings can be commenced in relation to judgments debts exceeding GBP5000.

If legal action is taken the total amount you owe will be higher than the current outstanding balance as recoverable costs and interest incurred since the instruction of IDR and during the legal process will be added to the debt.

To prevent further action you must get in touch with us.  We are still keen to work with you by understanding your circumstances and agreeing a fair solution.

Another update - just had another round of Text messages, Emails and letters.

Physical  letters still going to the old address (forwarded by royal mail).

All messages were exactly the same as the previous round with threats of CCj's, Attachment of Earnings, Warrant of Execution, Bankruptcy and Charging Order.

Seems to be a 2 week pattern of 1 week letter, following week email - texts seem to be a bit more random, but always over 10 days between each one. 

Not sure if IDR are working diligently behind the scenes to recover monies from me,  or are just spamming me in the hope that i stick my head above the parapet

and another update with another physical letter today - this one states that they are now recomending to the client (not sure they have ever been in touch)  to proceed with legal action. To accentuate the seriousness this time, they have used bullet points to highlight what a judgment against me could look like - attachment of Earnings, Warrant of Execution, Bankruptcy and Charging Order..etc

 

still ignoring

Another email ( they are coming thick and fast now) - slightly more threatening, telling me how great they are for trying to help me find a solution and how bad i am for ignoring them.
