    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. Anyway 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.

Thanks Jo and Feater for bumping me, feeling a bit calmer.

 

I have figured out Most of it im sticking to my small track request and have put in the supporting text. I will put my name down as a witness to the facts but it asks witness to which facts do I need to list or just put all or just my name under that???

 

Im going to use them directions they look sound and may help stop the judge asking for a directions hearing.

 

Now my BIG problem is the amount:

 

can you please help me getting confused on the amount I should put on the AQ questionaire. On the guide its said your claim amount and all interest is that up until I submitted my N1 claim form or up to the date I recieved the AQ questionaire?

 

On the same subject it said not to inculde costs does that mean not to include my court cost. I have been told by a friend I include it should I?

 

Any help you could give would be gratefully recieved.

 

Thanks for all your continuing support.

Hi Lee

 

I have been reading the notes for the AQ on the Ministry of Justice CPR site, and there are no guidelines on the total claim amount, or interest thereon :( .

 

However, regarding costs it says "only complete this section if you are a solicitor and have suggested the claim is suitable for allocation to the fast or multi-track." Don't know if that helps or makes it worse to be honest!

 

Witness - your name and address, then To which Facts - all.

 

Hope this helps a bit - still working on it.

Thanks Jo will do that on the witness front.

 

The amount seems to be very weak on explanation im thinking of just putting my charges + interest up to the point my N1 form was entered. If you are not supposed to put the costs in section G then I dont think you put them in the amount of claim in dispute.

 

I have PM'd Fendyweather and Gary H hopefully they can help me.

 

Cheers

I just hijacked french's thread - oops - in the hope that he could clarify the costs and interest thing.

 

He (I assume its a he :o ) is on round 3, so must know - I hope!!

 

Get back to you ASAP, but hopefully fendy and gary will have stepped in by then.

Hi Lee

 

Got a response from french already!!

 

It is the value of your charges plus interest to date, and the SAR fee if you paid one, but not the N1 or AQ fee.

 

Does that help? I sincerely hope so.

 

Best regards

Hi All,

 

well Abbey have returned their allocation questionaire and they are asking for a stay on it :mad:

 

The court should now notify me I think of the stay? Is that right?

 

I phoned the court and they said it will be a month from the 11th July for the judge to decide what he/she wants to do! That seems like a stay to me if he gives them a stay on top of that month I will go mental!!!!:mad:

 

Really not happy just getting fed up with all the delays!

 

Any views welcome! Depressed at the moment was hoping for some quicker action by the court.

 

So its back to waiting z z z ZZZZZZZZZ:mad:

Hi Lee

 

What a bummer! Not what you wanted to come back to at all :mad:

 

As far as I know you should be officially notified of the stay, or any decisions pertaining to the Claim.

 

Maybe you will get a stupid settlement offer now - a real ****take, but it will open the negotiations!

 

You really need to see what they have put as the reason for the stay request, and you are not going to get that now till next week probably, what with the postal strike tomorrow. :mad:

 

Really sorry for you but can't offer anything positive at the moment.:(

 

Chin up if you can

 

Lotsa luv

dont bother emailing inga, she is off until 23rd July. I think £7700 is a good offer to make, if you mark it though WOP you cannot show the judge that you tried to settle prior to the court date.

Hi again Lee

 

Is there not the name of a paralegal on the bottom of the defence? Like W. Basson or V. Roux for example?

Hi Lee

 

Its interesting to see how you are getting on at Bow CC. My case is list there too as you know. I filed my allocation questionnaire there at the beginning of June and have had a date for my hearing returned to me for 24 September. I've had no offer from the Abbey at all which makes me quite mad but I'm also worried they are going to go the course with mine! I did ask for a hearing to have their claim struck out funny enough but I don't know whether the Court have sent this on to them. Should I have been notified? Grrrr getting frustrated now!

 

Good luck drafting your letter.

Hi Jo, Jules and Sue,

 

thanks for the surport as ever!:)

 

Jo none of my correspondence has any solicitors names on there strange or not?

 

Jules think I will send a copy to her by e-mail and post a copy to Abbey HQ as well a two pronged approach!

 

Hi Sue long time no speak glad you have a date are you going to send off a bundle to the court I hear that gets Abbey to take you seriously! Then you can send them a final demand letter 10 days before the hearing see post #25 on this link its a good template may help speed things up and makes you look good for trying to settle http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/90825-no-offer-yet-2.html

 

Thanks everyone im out of my down state and ready to get back at them!

:) Excited ok I have played about with the final demand letter and added my own hint of sarcasim e.g. The in your wisdom line LOL!:)

Claim number ****** – **** County Court

Acc No **********

 

I am writing this email as a offer of settlement before the case is allocated in Bow County Court.

 

I am aware of the large amount of claims which you are currently dealing with and to assist your workload I believe it would help all concerned to settle this matter out of court.

 

It is well documented that you have no intention of ever going to full hearing, shown by the fact that you have settled an extremely large number of claims at the last minute before going to court. It would be beneficial to all parties, including the court system that this matter is dealt with out of court.

 

My claim amount as of today (13/07/07) stands at £8,034.10 including court fees and interest, I am prepared to settle this matter for the sum of £7,700.00

 

It should be noted that Abbey National PLC are still incurring £1.36 a day in intereston the claim. If the claim is not be heard until 09/09/07 as suggested in your draft directions to the court the total claim amount will rise to £8112.98, this amount does not include any further costs.

This settlement offer is valid for a period of 14 days, after this period the offer will expire. If in your wisdom :p you wish to settle this claim before any further court action, please deposit the amount in my Abbey National Bank Account or send a cheque made payable to Leecabs at my above address.

 

I am hoping we can come to an amicable agreement on this matter.

 

I look forward to receiving your prompt response.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Ok what do you think is it to much or just right?

 

Feeling happier doing something!

 

Leecabs:D
