    • This a claim form from the courts or a letter before claim from the sols?  
    • Interesting this one. I have no real knowledge to give but I wish you and your wife luck. The guys here are ace so Im sure you'll be sorted in no time.
    • Hope we're in the correct place. Have, today, received a court order for a car loan debt taken out in 2015.  The car loan was issued solely to my (vulnerable) wife, based on her annual income (at the time) of around £9000. The loan repayments were set at around £240 pm (plus a last balloon payment of roughly £3500 - after 5 years). The loan total given to her, with interest, was £14,318. Irresponsible lending at its best? We had 3 young children at the time.  We tried keeping up with the payments but after the last payment we made (Feb 2018), we simply could not afford to pay. My wife got the odd letter/threat but nothing until a solicitors' letter arrived. She wrote back, making sure it was clear that she was not acknowledging the debt, but requested all the necessary paperwork. A few weeks later they sent her some (not all) of the paperwork, but the Terms and Conditions document was incorrect, it was different to the original. With that in mind, we just let it be.  They didn't write for two years, until they demanding payment again. Wife wrote back (again not acknowledging the debt) and told them the paperwork they sent 2 years previously was incomplete AND it had the wrong Ts & Cs. Nothing again for a year until a new person wrote- they were told the same and hadn't heard anything again until the court order arrived today. Will ignore the fact that the court order say Miss and not Mrs but just looking for a steer on how to respond. Does she simply quote the Limitations Act in her defence? Does she mention that they've never sent the requested docs to prove the debt, let alone sending the wrong Ts and Cs. She has 14 days to respond but like to get it done well before then. Thank you

    • 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.

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

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
