    • 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.

Hi

Yes I've read of loads of successful claim of high amounts, have a look here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/lloydstsb-successes/

 

No it doesn't make any difference what type of account it is, although you can't claim for the monthly account fees for having a Gold account as you probably know.

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

Hi, kim, I am at the same stage as you, I have just received the stock refusal letter, and I sending LBA in the post tomorrow, my claim is for £6142 :-(. If it gets to the court stage I shall probably split the claim into two seperate ones. Hopefully this will avoid any problems with small claims limit.

Hi..Kim here

I posted my LBA on May 17th by recorded delivery and as advised on here Ive gone to the royal mail website to check that Lloyds have received the letter.

According to royal mail nobodys signed for it yet so it cant be tracked..

Has anyone else had this problem??? surely they would have received it by now???

Hi Kim

I too sent my LBA (on the 18th) Royal Mail T&T shows it as not being delivered or trackable. I 'phoned RM and they stated that if it has not been delivered, it will be returned to me within 15 days!

 

Kim, where did you send yours to? I sent mine to Gresham St. Perhaps they are now refusing to receive the LBA's if so, I guess i have to hand it in at my local branch.

Hi

The Royal Mail site is notorious for not showing up as delivered. As far as I'm concerned, you have proof that you have sent it, so just carry on to the next stage of your claim.

I WON!!!! :D :D :D

In view of the above and taking a look at the Royal Mail website it may be a good idea to use their special delivery service. Although it may cost extra, You can get an elctronic proof of delivery within 2 days as opposed to 5 with recorded delivery and as their website suggests that electronic proof is not always available for recorded.

 

And if the bank decide to take it all the way to the wire and settle before the hearing you can always apply for a wasted costs order and claim for your postage as well as your time.

I'm afraid that the Special Delivery service is almost as bad.

I have a claim against Royal Mail for 9 failed 'guaranteed next day' or 'signatures'...

It's a bloody nightmare.

On various occasions, it will say on the royal mail website that it hasn't been signed for yet. and then the next day I'll get a reply from my letter lol. everyone must remember that banks get lots more letters now because of the charges revelation. so they can't sign for everything. I don't mind as long as it gets there! lol

  • 1 month later...

I have just spoken to Penny Berryman and shes told me that she

has nothing to do with bank charges at all, so tha

Now, I think It was a waste of time ..dont bother ringing her!!!

Im sooo frustrated as i dont know what to do next...

Got my statements back in May and then wrote asking for charges back, received usual get lost letter so then sent LBA on May 16th..heard nothing..

After reading something on Martin Lewis' website about asking for 25% less, I did so, posting letter by registered mail on June 15th. In this letter, you ask for your charges to be paid within 14 days and yet again ...have heard nothing!

Now, I think that I shall have to start court proceedings and have started filling out the form at MCOL...any ideas how you word the box that you have to give details of the claim in???

sorry, if it sounds thick, but im at the point of giving up as its all scary, but i have a lot of money at stake..£6,000!!

 

please help

Ok dont panic.

firstly I advise you to use the N1 and not MCOL. Using he N1 allows you to have a more detailed Poc. All the letters and templates are located in the template library. Read the top of this forum for guidance when dealing with Lloyds.
