    • 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?
    • 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.

Wanted to ask your advise on the removal of defaults. I walked away form my accounts and left them at the maximum overdrawn. i paid in what i could afford each and every month but the interest they charged me was over and above what i could afford to pay in so the debt actually grew although i was paying it back because of the interest they were charging. ? i walked away because i also had a loan and they were taking money from my current acouunt towards the loan willy nilly and theefore not leaving me no money in my current account to pay for things then they'd charge me i'd put money in they'd transfer it to my loan which wouldn't go out as they'd emptied my account to my loan and charge me etc etc ..

 

can i get the defaults removed ? :?

Flaura :p

The most important thing to consider in this scenario is the level of charges at the exact point the default was issued.

 

Look to the date of default - when and how much for?

AT THAT DATE, the charges total (including, if you can work it out, any overdraft interest that had been caused solely by those charges).

 

Once we know that, we can advise on the next step.

 

Also, if you don't mind answering on forum, did you have any other defaults around that time?

 

You did very much the same thing as me in walking away from it, it really helped me to start from scratch. Are you still paying this off? Are they still charging interest?

current balance is £352.04

 

Loan debt was £13657.00 on defaulted me on 17 Feb 2004 charges were £150.00

Account A - 68% of the default was in relation to charges.

 

This is quite possibly worth a challenge in court. Have you ever tried to work out the overdraft interest that was caused by charges on this account? Any more could help us to sway the balance even more in our favour. I would guess that every extra £2 or so would increase that percentage by 1 point. Don't be confused by 8% interest on those charges.

 

Account B - Definitely. Every single penny of the default is made up from charges. Have you always included text in your letters that you wanted the default removed, or not yet referred to it?

 

Loan Account - I'm afraid that this one looks likely to stand, unless they failed to notify you correctly etc, or another anomaly

From my (very limited to date) experience with recovering defaults, I think it is worth asking for copy of default notice. It appears most banks (or recovery agents) issue defaults like confetti and forget the correct procedure. I have just found Amex didn't with me so worth asking.

Egg Data Protection Act Statements arrived. On hold.

 

Halifax - Moneyclaim £3100

 

Amex to Remove Default - acknowledged didn't issue correct documents - default removed :) . £135 paid in full without Court

 

I'm on a roll now :rolleyes:

I'll have a scout about on Account "A" see what i can drag up .. i've always mentioned the Default part.. just in case.. kinda knew i wouldn't get away with it on the loan but thought i'd get proper advise from you before pursuing it ..

 

overdraft interest on the statements how would it show ? or should i be looking for interest they charged me in my overdraft when i went in because of a charge.. it was only a secondry account i used for most of my DD's ..did out of interest challenge the defaults at the time they issued them as i stated that i felt they had mishandled my accounts and that is why i had defaulted however i don't have copies of all the letters..

 

for want of a better expression i "lost it" after my finances went to pot and destroyed lots of paperwork.. ! wish i hadn't now..!

 

Thanks for all your help on this ..i'll let you know how i get on with the interest part.. ?

 

cheers !

Flaura :p

The overdraft interest can be tricky but if, for example, the amount of charges totalled 70% of your overdraft in any particular month, then I'm sure it is fair to assume that 70% of the overdraft interest is reclaimable and should be included.

 

Also worth bearing in mind is the total level of charges - if in any month you can show that had it not been for the previous £xxx in charges, you would not even have been overdrawn, then surely 100% of the overdraft interest is reclaimable and will count towards the magical 100% of the default figure that we are looking for.

 

Is that confusing enough?

 

Some of Vamp's spreadsheets help to show this.
