    • 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.

Sorry to disagree but The Beneficial Financial Bank is a trading name of The HFC bank who are in turn part of the HSBC group.

 

Beneficial do not offer bank accounts but merely offer loans/credit cards etc

I can assure you that Blair Oliver & Scott are trading and collecting monies on behalf of the Bank of Scotland as are Wescot Credit Services

 

Aktiv Kapital collect on behalf of Time Retail Finance

 

Arrow/Global Receivables Management/CBS collect on behalf of Paragon

 

HFC bank and Beneficial bank seem to use a firm of solicitors called Restons.

 

If anyone has any details of dealinigs with Restons or Arrow I would be most grateful

I have had dealings with Arrow Global, who passed the alleged debt straight onto their evil Solicitor, Eversheds. They have since shut up and neither have written to me for about 2 months now since MBNA tried to falsify an agreement.......

Thanks, Corn - not had anything to say, so kept quiet!

Just interested to know about Blair Oliver Scott - some people write as if they are just a DCA and others that they are solicitors - can't find them listed on the English or Scottish Law Society websites - any ideas? And what is the relationship between them and another HBOS DCA - J&J Collections? If Blair Oliver & Scott arn't solicitors who do HBOS use for litigation?

Hi Senior, good to hear from you!

 

I couldn't comment on them as I have no dealings with them at all. I suggest a general search may throw up some more "victims" who will be able to confirm one way or another.

 

I am sorry I couldn't help! I am glad you are well and look forward to seeing you back over on the MBNA forum when you are able!

 

Best wishes,

 

 

Corn x:)

Nino1 - Arrow is part of a bunch of Yankee come-latlelys who are going to teach us poor downtrodden Brits how to collect debts effectively - just like the G.I.s won the war for us. Given the scumbags already in the market my view is they've left it a bit late, but perhaps they've just found Pearl Harbor on an atlas.

 

My beef with them is that they devote a whole page of their website to slagging off the CCCS - "Gee youse guys - when your creditors chose CCCS you should have done chosen Arrow" (or something similar).

 

In my view quite libellous, but confirmation that the CCCS has gotten under their motherf*****g hides.

 

More info. available if required. Good luck all. Vandermerwe.

Just heard from B.O.& S. in the Republic of Scotland.

 

Their letterhead states 'Debt Collectors'.

 

Registered Office: Arrol House, Viking Way, Rosyth KY11 2UT.

 

Registered in Scotland No. 133457

 

Claiming to act on behalf of "Halifax" they begin: Blair, Oliver & Scott Ltd. is a professional debt collection agency blah, blah.

 

Call our Helpline Number 0870 240 5138 (sic).

 

Our comrades-in-arms 'saynoto0870' give the alternatives of 0131 4427777 (Switchboard HBOS ask for Blair Oliver and Scott to get through) and, by lucky hap 0800 0560808 (Part of Halifax (HBOS).

 

Doesn't sound very dormant to me!

These parasites don't have much imagination.

 

To make sure who you are looking for, Google (UK sites only) "First Credit" and you'll get their website. When I tried it was the first name to come up. They are based in Evesham.

 

Then go to the second page (I think it was) of Google's list and click on 'Odd telephone call from First Credit Ltd.' and you see a whole can of worms opening up.

 

That's 1st Credit and they too have a web site, but as far as I can tell no connection.

 

Hope this helps.
