    • 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.

:confused: hi i'm new here. i'm in the process of claiming £3625 from barclays.

When we started the process my wife and i decided to open a new current account with smile. we now use this for our salary, bills etc. the barclays account has become obsolete. i wrote to barclays requesting our charges back 2 weeks ago and i had a letter back saying that we would get a response by the 20th March. So far so good.

 

Here is the problem -

 

As many of you can probably sympathise we've always had charges month in and month out. We have an agreed o/d limit of -£1250 on our barclays account but it is currently -£1850 which is over our agreed limit ( mainly due to charges!!!:mad: ). as i already mentioned we are not using the account at all now. (We just had to switch so our money wasn't taken away from us every bloomin' month! )

 

So i just thought to myself when barclays cough up that will cover the overdraft and everything will be ok.

 

anyway today i get a phonecall off Barclays saying when are you going to pay the unathorised o/d. so i said - oh can i set up a payment plan? they said no you have already had 5 failed plans in the last 12 months.:o They then said when are you going to pay? well of course i made some excuse about it being a difficult time to talk as i was going out so they said they will call back.

 

Where do i stand? i've got no chance of a loan/credit card etc. etc.

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.:)

Hi Buzz,

I believe that if you write to Barclays, stating that you dispute the account because of the unlawful charges they have applied, and follow the standard claim procedures as outlined in many other threads on this forum, then they can't force you into paying anything until your claim is settled by a court, should it go that far. You simply tell them that the account is 'in dispute.'

 

But I'm just a beginner myself; anyone out there who can confirm this....?

 

David.

One thing that i would add to what oneofakind has said is don't hang around with your claim. You say you have wrote to them asking for charges back. Have you followed the procedures described on this site,, ie SAR (subject access request) to find out how much you are owed and have you used the charges spreadsheet in the template section.

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/182-6-interest-calculation-spreadsheets.html

 

The reason i say don't hang around is that they may well try and default you on the unauthorized o/d.

thanks guys for your replys. I Got my list of charges and wrote to Barclays on the 20th February asking for £3625 ( i used the templates on moneysavingexper.com) i gave them 14 days they then wrote back saying they were looking into it and that i should expect to hear from them by the 20th March, and i am still waiting. Do you think i should just go for it now and give them the old 7 days or court routine???:cool:

Tell them that you are starting / have started court action and that they owe you more than you owe them. But remember they will be chargeing interest at something like 27.5 % APR on your "unauthorised" overdraft. I am not that experienced on these matters but perhaps Admin / moderator can give you better advice.

buzz if i were you i would just put the phone down . i refuse to have anything to do with them on the phone because all they try and do is intimidate you , it's what they are trained to do (see daily mail article today and programme tonight on bbc 1).

i have just won back all that was owed , over £4000 , which went into the bank yesterday.

just stick to your timetable and don't back down , you will get it all back .

good luck mate.:-)

I've been on moneyclaim site for a woolwich account i'm claiming for. i filled out all the details including the particulars of the claim section ( where i stated i am claiming interest of 8% blah blah blah )

 

my query is on the final boxes on this page. it has a box where you put the amount claimed, below this is a box stating the fee for the claim i.e £120.00. in the 1st box do i put the figure as £1995 as this is the amount i am claiming or do i put the amount as £2445 as this is the amount plus the interest which i calculated???

Just checked the faq's on mcol site, it say any claim for intrest must be included.

 

 

Q. What details should I be entering in this field?

A. This is a description of what you are claiming for and must include any claim for interest. The information provided here must be sufficient enough to enable the defendant to respond to your claim.

Q. I have entered my particulars, however an error message prevents me from going any further, how do I proceed?

 

A. There may be several reasons why your particulars are being rejected. Please check: The particulars are no more than 1080 characters or longer than 24 lines

No other punctuation apart from full stops and commas are included

No double spacing has been used

The particulars have been typed in fresh, copied and pasted material will not be accepted.

 

Q. Do I need to tick the box about reserving the right to claim interest?

A. If you wish to claim interest in you claim you will need to tick this box and then copy and paste the pop up box that appears into the particulars. You must ensure you complete the brackets in this paragraph correctly to enable you to claim interest.

Q. How do I work out the interest I am entitled to?

A. If you are claiming interest under section 69 of the county courts act 1984 you must multiply the amount you are claiming by 8% and then divide this by 365. This gives you the daily rate of interest. You must then work out how many days have passed since the date the invoice was due until the date the claim is issued. Not only must this be stated in the particulars of claim, but this figure must also be added to the amount you are claiming.

Hi Everyone it's been a while. i was wondering if anyone could help me.

26th March - Claim isued

31st March - Served

14th April - THE 14TH DAY!! - Ackowledged giving them a further 14 days

Buzz, dont get too excited, one of two things are likely to happen here.

a) Barclays file their defence late.....they are getting it down to a fine art.

b) The defence HAS been entered but MCOL havent updated the file yet.

 

Personally I would wait until about Wed, if still the same go for judgement.

Hi there everyone

 

i've got a couple of questions tonight if anyone could help.:D i'm claiming £4293.41 via the moneyclaim online from Barclays.

 

i don't use this account anymore.

 

1st one is this: The Barclays account i'm claiming for is currently -£1990 od my overdraft limit is -£1250 about 4-5 weeks ago the bank were calling everyday ( i never once answered the phone) asking me to make arrangements to pay blah blah blah. then they wanted me to cut up card and cheque book and send them back. i obliged!

They were really p***ing me off so after seeking advice on this site i wrote to them saying that they couldn't pass my details to credit reference etc quoting banking code because 'i was in dispute' they then wrote back saying we have made a note of your comments and that barclays would be writing to you to make an offer which i should strongly consider!:rolleyes: and they would not contact me for 4 weeks whilst i consider the offer. Well the offer came ......... £2200 i just said no thanks a went ahead with the mcol. The 4 weeks is up and the phone is going like the clappers. and one letter also saying that if i don't make arrangements they may pass my details on to credit ref agencies.

 

the mcol has reached the stage where they have defended the claim and i am awaiting a court date.

 

What do i do should i just send a similar letter to the one i sent before but this time quote my claim number so they know that as soon as it is sorted the overdraft will be paid off or not?? :confused:

 

my other question is this how long do i wait for a court date, and will this date be soon i.e 1-2 months or a bit further away??:confused:

1. You need to answer the call, the could have grounds that they attempted contact to discuss settlement to which you never responded. Always be seen to appear very approachable.

When you do take the call, remain calm, YOU are in the driving seat. First take the guys name, even if you catch it first time, tell him to repeat it twice, just to make him feel uneasy.

Make a note of the time and date, if possible record the conversation.

Tell him you are recording the conversation [even if you ar not], that way he wont try and fob you off with rubbish.

Write down everything he tells you, even if you have to keep telling him to repeat it, its their call not yours, keep him on there as long as YOU want.

If he tries to settle with an amount that you are not happy with simply tell him you will leave it up to the judge to decide. [have your updated figure with you]

If he is calling about the overdraft, tell him the account is still in dispute and will remain so until the matter is settled, at which point you will be happy to enter negotiations for the outstanding amount. and any action taken before this will be seen as an act of retaliation.

A good idea is to write down any headers you think that might come up in the conversation, so you can direct the conversation to where you want it to go or you can be ready with your answers to HIS questions.

 

2. Your court date, i would estimate would be end of Aug, beg of Sept now.

 

hope this has helped a little.

Hi ther guys

 

I Have a query but before i get to the query i will give you a quick update.

 

( i am at work so these figures are approx as i don't have figures with me )

 

Claiming: Woolwich £2300

Claiming: Barclays £4700

 

i had a court date of 18th July sent to me 7 days ago for my woolwich. i rang krysta and she told me to phone back on tuesday. She did say that she would discuss settlement then. so that sounds good.:)

 

Then i got this letter yesterday from plymouth county court ( my local ) yesterday re the barclays account:

 

 

TAKE NOTICE that this case has been listed for a DIRECTIONS HEARING which will take place on the 2nd July 2007 at 10:30am

at Plymouth County court..blah blah

 

when you should attend.

 

15 minutes has been allowed for the directions hearing

 

Please note: this case may be released to another judge possibly at a different court.

 

WHAT IS A DIRECTIONS HEARING???????:confused: :confused:

 

 

 

WHAT IS HAPPENING?:confused:
