    • Now that is an interesting article which adds afew perspective that I hadn't thought significant - but on reflection of the perspectives offered ... Now Starmer is no Blair, however 'blairite he may be perceived, but the Tories aren't tories and aren't even remotely liberal   The fast 'unannounced and unexpected election call from sunack may well be explained by the opinion linked that he hoped reform would be unprepared and effectively call a chunk of Farages largely empty bluster - making him look even more of a prat, leave scope for attacks on shabby reform candidates and mimimise core vote losses to reform - while throwing the 'middle ground' (relative) tories TO THE DOGS - and with the added bonus of likely pacifying his missu' desire to jogg off to sunny cal tout suite somewhat   thumb in the air - I expect about 140ish tory seats, but can hope for under a hundred Reform - got to admit the outside possibility of 1, maybe 2 seats with about 8% of the vote - but unlikely. I think projections of over 10% of the vote for reform is nudged and paid for speculation - but possible with the expected massive drives from Russian, Chinese and far right social media bot and troll prods targeting the gullible.
    • Commentary June 2024 WWW.ELECTORALCALCULUS.CO.UK Interesting article about just how bad it could be for the Tories.  Also Tories could be hoping on Reform not having candidates in many seats, as they were not ready.  
    • 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?

    • 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.

I am claiming £3909 plus court fees from Natwest.

 

I sent the first letter on 22 November and was offered £309 which I refused.

 

I sent the letter before action on 5 December and received a standard "bear with us" response.

 

On 14 December I started my online claim using Moneyclaim.gov.uk.

 

33 days later, on 17 January, I had not heard anything from NatWest or Cobbetts so I entered a judgement by default against my claim. But Cobbetts had (apparently simultaneously!) got in there with a defence, so my judgement by default was overruled by their defence.

 

So I received the letter from Cobbetts that same day, on 17 January asking for the CPR 18 blah blah... wrote back immediately telling them I thought they were intimidating me but enclosed the full schedule of charges anyway.

 

I have still not received my Allocation Questionnaire, which I was expecting to arrive on the same day as the Cobbetts defence letter, but I have just called the Moneyclaim service desk who tell me that it was sent on 17 January and that they send them second class so I should expect it tomorrow. I then have 14 days to send it back (I am sincerely hoping that it arrives when it should as I am going on a three-week holiday on Thursday and won't be able to progress my claim!).

 

Also, according to the very helpful lady at Moneyclaim, the courts are currently taking around a month to process the AQs and set a court date.

 

Hope this is helpful to anyone else in my position. I know a risk is involved but I am fully prepared to go to court as I firmly believe I will win. :) It's going to be worth all the trouble!!

 

Also, thanks to everyone on this site. Reading about all your experiences has left me feeling inspired and encouraged - it can feel sometimes like you're all on your own, but there are hundreds (thousands?!) of like-minded people out there and it's so nice to know you can ask for help whenever I need it!

 

Will keep you posted...

hi chathe,

 

I concur, and I have been dealing with the court direct.

 

Both Natwests' and my AQ were received by the court on the due date of 08th Jan and I still have not herd a dickie-bird!!!

 

I rang them this afternoon, and have been advised by the court clerk that I should receive my court bundle by this time next week, if not the following:eek:

 

Apparently, poor 'ole jugdy, is a bit snowed under!!!!!:D

 

Good luck, oh, and have a lovely holiday.

Well it took me a day longer than i expected to get everything together but I am just about to send the AQ off to the court, along with my cheque for £100.

 

At the last minute I also decided to include a covering letter to the court entitled "Claimant's response to the request for further information" as posted here. It's an extremely well written letter which I tweaked slightly to reflect my own circumstances - I recommend it to anyone unsure of what to say in their covering letter.

 

As I'm about to go on holiday (sorry muggins, don't mean to rub it in!) I filled in the dates I can't attend court in section F of the Allocation Questionnaire.

 

I have taken copies of EVERYTHING, from my very first letter to the bank, to the Allocation Questionnaire, so that if I do have to go to court I have a record of every bit of correspondence. In a weird way I'm kind of hoping for a court hearing, such is my confidence I'll win!!

 

So now I think I can go on holiday knowing it is all taken care of - as far as it can be anyway! - and hoping that I will return to a nice big cheque on the doormat.

Hello,

 

Writing this from a tiny town in northern Argentina so don{t have much time to look for the answer to my question - so any help gratefully received!

 

I left my sister with int}structions to open any post from Natwest or Cobbetts while I was away. The day I left Blighty she texted me to let me know they are offering me 3192 quid straight into my account. It{s not a bad offer but I am owed another grand on top of that so I don{t want to accept it, I am going to hold out for the full amount. My question is simnply, do I need to write back to them to refuse their offer or can I just ignore it until I get back from holiday? It would be easier to do the latter! Apparently they gave me eight weeks to accept, and I{m back home in three.

 

Thanks

Hello you from a tiny town in northern Argentina, from a cold person on the southcoast of Britain:D

My instinct tells me, 'bugger 'em', and let them wait until you get back from sunning yourself, but then me thinks that if there is any chance your sister can respond, then Natwest should get their fingers out alot quicker and hopefully offer you a less lame amount? That's my opinion anyways.

Have fun, missing you already:p

Hi Muggins and thanks - I sort of thought the same but just needed reassurance! It´s weird being on the other side of the world and trying to keep track of the claim (is it sad that I am doing so?! Hope not!).

 

Turns out the letter from NatWest offering 3192 quid was dated 12 Jan, four days before they put in a defence (funny how I didn´t get it till well afterwards!). But since then there has also been a letter from Cobbetts dated 24 Jan (day before I went away) saying "we don´t think you´ll win in court but we´ll offer you 2000 quid to go away". Their offer expires today and obviously there´s no way I can get a letter of refusal to them today. So I just want to check, I don´t need to answer to anyone but the court do I?

 

Thanks

Hi chathe,

absolutely correct, hun, just the court.

You are not obliged to respond to Natwests offers, it is just courtesy...but seeing as though you are on the other side of the world, then no matter;)

 

Do yourself a big favour and sit back and enjoy the rest of your time in Argentina, and for pity-sake stop worrying about the damn court claim!!!!

Chat to you when you get home..sunbathe, sunbathe and sunbathe some more!!!!

  • 4 weeks later...

Won! Received my cheque from NatWest this morning - they paid the exact amount I was claiming (so I didn't get the £300-odd that I paid for court charges, but still!). Thanks a billion to muggins and everyone else for your advice, you're all utter legends.

 

Advice to anyone else confused or intimidated by the whole process: STICK WITH IT! Don't be intimidated by their jargony letters, follow the process outlined in the website, use the templates and you can scare them right back! Ha!

 

Cheers

Chathe xx
