    • 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.

:pWell hello there all, I've just recived a letter today from Capital one stating that they are serving a Default Notice on me, so after the day I have had today (lost the sale of my house) I'm getting straight on it, telephoned Capital one and said that I have PFA acting for me and he's asked me to request all copies of my statments from when I opened the account with them. I asked if there were any adminerstration costs he said there apparently free of charge!!!!

 

So here goes.....

 

I also have a RBOS claim on going too at the moment, can any one advise that once (if) I recive the statment I just go about it the same way as claiming back my bank charges, do I need to use a different letter, spreadsheet ect?

 

Any help regarding this will be great folks!!!

 

I keep on getting telephone calls from the company, whom I advised that I am now dealing with this via letter format because of the charges, she said that there fees were fair and not ludicroius !!!!! - what planet are they on???:-x

 

will keep you all posted on the progress

The prelim/LBA letters are basically the same except that for a credit card you are claiming back late payment/over limit fees etc and for the bank its exceeding your o/d, unauthorised o/d, bounced ddebits etc. Have a really good read of the FAQ's and also post in the RBOS forum so people dealing with them can help you if you need it.

Juat a quick update all, I wasn't too sure that by just asking for my statements that they would provide them but........... they have gone out on a limb and I recived "some" in the post this morning! *I did say that I had a PFA acting for me and he had suggested I phoned up and ask for copies! This may not always work! It did save me £10 though, better in my pocket!:p

 

I opened my account on 25/02/2005 and they have sent me some backdated statments. I have looked through what paper work that I have kept and putting them together I am just missing three months worth, which will hopfully arrive in the next cople of days!! Then I can put together my first letter. Oh what happy days....might be a few days until I do this though as I am just in the process of selling my house.

 

I would also like some advise on this if anyone can give it please

 

I recived a letter dated 9th January something like this -

 

Credit Account Ref ******

 

please pay £ 340.85 now.

 

Notice of Deafalt served under section 87 (1) of the Consumer credit Act 1974.

 

You have breached your Capital one credit Card Agreement by going over your credit limt only from your charges!!!as described in clause 4 of the agreement. You must pay the amount that you have gone over your credit limit by, shown above, within 23 days of the date of this letter.

 

IF THE ACTION REQUIRED BY THIS NOTICEIS TAKEN BEFORE THE DATE SHOWN NO FURTHER ENFORCEMENT ACTION WILL BE TAKEN IN RESPENT OF THE BRANCH.

 

It then goes on, blah blah.....:|

 

now if I am to send out my pelimary letter will this stop all further action or not??

 

My balance as of 05/01/2007 is 540.85.....only had a credit limit of 200.00!!! I know its not as much as other peoples claims, but it all adds up.

 

obviously since I am buying a house don't reall want this to happen.

 

i know I said this was a quick update, but kept ya busy for five mins hey ;)

 

Thanks in advance for any help :)

Hi Loki187,

 

You need to formally write to them stateing that your account is in dispute. This means that they cant pass on you info to a DCA or default you (I beleive). Then send your prelim when you get your statements through. Do this in writing though as you have a record of this if they do anything silly.

Data Subject:

 

Address: My Address

 

Whereas I have been a customer of Capital One Bank plc and whereas I consented in my contract with you to the disclosure by you of certain data to third parties, at no time did I consent and neither was it within the contemplation of the parties to the contract that I did consent to the processing by you of that data in any manner which would be unfair or inaccurate or which in any way would breach The Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Therefore, take notice that I require that you cease from processing within twenty one days of the receipt by you of this Notice, or else that you do not begin to process any personal data of which I am the subject insofar as that processing involves the communication or passing of personal data of which I am the subject to any third party and insofar as the said data relates wholly or in part to the implementation by you of alleged defaults or contractual breaches or breaches contrary to The Common Law.

 

This Notice is given on the grounds that the processing or continued processing by you of the said data will be likely to affect my credit rating and my reputation and cause substantial damage and/or substantial distress to me and my family members in addition to that which has been caused to date. And that as the processing of the said data in the way referred to in this Notice would violate both the Principles and Data Subject’s rights of The Data Protection Act 1998, to do so would be both unwarranted and unlawful.

 

Signed

 

I this the one Tanz??

 

I haven't had a letter yet saying that they HAVE put a default against my name, so lets hope this stops things.

 

I have letters coming out of my ears , just recevied all paper work regarding the sale of the house today so got all that to go through :D

 

I'm also going to give crapital one a call today and ask were my other statments are!

NOTICE OF DISPUTE

 

Re Account No. **** **** **** ****

5th October 2006

 

Dear Alex Mathews,

 

Thank you for your letter dated 27th September 2006, in which you enclosed copies of my statements from Capital One from 8th March 2003 - 20th September 2006.

 

In your letter you made reference to a balance, which you say is outstanding for £738.22.

 

I am currently in dispute with Capital One Bank, as I believe they have unlawfully levied penalty charges to my account during the period mentioned above. The amount that I have requested the refund to me is £820.00. (Even though I'm sure you already know this) I have given them 14 days to refund this amount to my account and if they don't then I will be filing a claim through the County Courts.

 

In addition to this I have asked them to remove the default notice they have entered against my credit record.

 

I am enclosing a copy of the letter which I sent to Capital One for your information.

 

I am happy to discuss this with you further but would suggest that you contact them in relation to this matter, as it was they who sold the account to yourselves.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Obviously adapt it to suit.

 

HTH

Tanz, I know I am prob being a little simple but, since I haven't sent any kind of letter to them yet, as I have not got all my statments(so can't total up the charges), and the default letter was from crapital one, should I still send the above letter to crapital one, as to date I suppose the account isnt in dispute untill I send of my pelimary letter???

 

I think all these letters are begining to drown me :confused:

 

HELP!!!:(

Just been on the telephone now to crapital one, I requested the statments that I needed, I also asked if they had put the default on my account and they said that they are going to be putting it on, on the 1st Feb!!!!:mad:.

 

I advised him that I was disputing the account and to make a note on the system, I also advised him that I am going to send out a letter stating that I dispute the account and I want no further action taken on my account, he said this will not stop the default going on my acount!!! :eek: But if the dispute was in my favour they could have it taken off???

 

Which letter do I send out??? I really need to get this sent out as soon as possible.
