    • 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.

Hi,

 

I am just bumping up my last post really (I could not possibly type out their defence as computer is playing up and get cut off after a while).

 

Could I ask again whether this is just a standard defence and what to do next please.....

 

THANK YOU

Link to post

Guido, Thank you so much!

 

Mine is exactly the same as yours to the last letter......However, there is a large section in mine that is not in yours......I shall try to type quickly.

 

`Furthermore, the Claimant appears to be misconceived in that the Claimant is seeking a refund of oeverdraft interest, There is no claim for refund of the authorised rate interest as it is contractually due and is a core term of the agreement between the bank and the claimant. As such, the defendant denies that they are indebted tot he claimant for the sums claimed under this heading. The defendent will rely on the case of Emerald Meats (London) Ltd v AIB Group (UK) pLC (2002) EWCA Civ 460, which is authority for the proposition that a customer entering into overdraft arrangement could expect to pay interest ont he basis of the standard practice adopted by the bank.

 

I find this puzzling because I have not claimed for overdraft interest as such.......

 

Unless perhaps, they have misunderstood me in that I mentioned they had actually taken a huge amount for actual overdraft interest, service fees, etc etc.....(to make a point that these were valid - and heaven knows I had paid them enough anyway...) but I was only claiming back `penalty charges and interest incurred on those penalties.

 

I am a bit confused....are they maybe adding this section into their defence of late perhaps....has anybody else received a defence with this included????

 

Anyway - many thanks again Guido...Do I just hang on to hear from the court now?......I will go back to your thread and have a good read - see what I can glean...

 

THANK YOU!

PS - Guido, Just read your thread - Heavens above (being all dramatic now!) that is all way above me!!!

Loads of good luck....you deserve absolutely to win.

 

Guido, I know that I sound thick - but what do I actually do now at this stage??? :idea: :rolleyes:

 

(At least you know what you are talking about!)

 

I don`t have a clue!

 

All the very best - I will keep up with your thread now - waiting to congratulate you.

This is what I actually put in my LBA to them regarding the amount claimed.

 

`I calculate that you have taken £*** plus £*** which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken, amounting to £***. I am also requesting, due to principal of mutuality and reciprocity, contractual interest of £*** - making a total of £***

 

They must know that I am not requesting back overdraft interest per se....They must know that I am asking them to pay me interest on what they took from me.

 

I would be most grateful for any help please.

 

Many thanks - sorry for being a pain!

 

PS Please see post (couple up) of what they have said regarding this......Thank you.

Minty, it does not take too long. Don`t be `scared` Your claim might clear that outstanding debt you have with LTSB with some over for you.

 

I am always fumbling in the dark here and if it were not for this site I would not have had the courage to put in my claim.....

 

Photoman did put a link on one of my threads that has the A-Z of any difficulties...I am just going to have a look now myself....You might want to take a look too if ever you get stuck.

 

Good luck and do post whenever you have a prob...I am pretty useless myself but there are always knowledgeable people here to help...You might want to start your own thread which might be more helpful to you.

 

All the best

I have had a good read around.....Do I just wait for an allocation questionnaire from court now?

 

Am I right in thinking this costs another £100

 

Thank you

 

I see what you mean photoman - This is certainly no `walk in the park`.

Hi,

 

Could I just ask about something that has been nagging in the back of my mind.

 

If LTSB have issued a defence - I received a copy on the 8th June....does this mean that I do not have to fill in the bottom half of the notice of issue sent to me ages ago......I am thinking that you only fill in the request for judgement if they have not responded......also why does this take sooo long?

 

I have to sort out my `court bundle`- why have I read that you need about 200 sheets of paper or copies of things...that sounds such a lot of stuff....

 

Something else that has been nagging the back of my mind....I did not send copies of the actual spreadsheets - I just listed the dates the amounts charged and reason etc.....is this okay?

 

Is there any way we can hurry things along at all?

 

Sorry to sound stupid.....many thanks.

 

Best wishes

Hi

No need to fill in the bottom part, this is for when they don't acknowledge/enter a defence.

There is no problem with you not sending the spreadsheets, your list sounds fine.

Give the Court a ring on Monday, see if they can tell you what is happening with your claim.

Barty:)

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

Today I received something from the court....it was a Notice of allocation to the small claims track (hearing).

 

It just says that district judge thomas has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

The hearing of the claim will take place at 11.00 on the 6 September etc etc etc.

It also includes a notice of trial date.

Is this it for now? - does this just leave me to get my court bundle together?

Very many thanks - 6th September though!!

Christina - Yes it does. Thanks for your response.

 

Guido - there were two sheets one was simply `notice of trial date`

the trial of the above claim will take place at 11.00 am at Bromley County court

Any application in the case must be made to the court where the case is to be tried.

Please note - This may be released to another Judge, possibly at a different court.

 

The second sheet was `Notice of allocation to the small claims track (hearing)

District judge Thomas has considered the statements of case and allocation questionnaires filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

The hearing will take place at 11.00 on the 6 September at Bromley County Court. and should take no longer than one hour.

The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents (including any expert`s report) on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than 14 days before the hearing.

The original documents shall be brought tot he hearing.

 

Guido - I did not fill an AQ - I have heard nothing from [problem] other than the court sending me a copy of their defence......With wonderful help from Elsinore I have corrected scams assumption that I claiming back all of my authorised overdraft interest - and infact this letter from the court seems to be almost a return of post from the letter I sent them correcting scams presumption.

 

Is any of this anything to worry about at all.

 

Many thanks
