    • 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.

Hello fellow shABBEY sufferers...I posted this a while back on the wrong forum and have just got back to it after time away. I'm wondering how the moratorium will affect my existing argument. Abbey tried the usual time-wasting tricks, but I fear they effectively have me by the short and curlies

 

Still hoping.....

 

 

I'm new to all this! I wrote to Abbey back in April re charges of £440 levied on my account after I slipped over my limit by £150 while waiting for a cheque to come in. They subsequently charged a further £179 when the £440 charges pushed me over my limit for the second time...! I'm self-employed, and my income is pretty low at the moment, as well as fluctuating, and the charges swallowed up a months' worth of income in one go, leaving me no choice but to increase my overdraft considerably, and then to renew my loan for a larger amount over a longer period just to keep going...

 

I'm worried about going for legal action because I have both a loan of £7500 and credit card debt of £2500 outstanding, both with Abbey. I received letters from Abbey saying that they wanted to be sure they understood my claim properly, and apologising for the delay in responding ( the last 8 weeks after my original letter!). THEN they wrote saying they'd misplaced my correspondence!!! I think they're having a laugh....

 

What to do?>:confused:

Hi deedee... I sent several letters though no threat of court action due to the position I'm in. Copy follows:

 

"I refer to recent default charges that have been applied to my account by Abbey after having gone over my overdraft limit by £150 over a period of several days while waiting for a cheque for £425 to arrive from a regular client.

I have been a loyal Abbey customer for six years, and have never previously had cause to complain. Whilst I accept that Abbey is entitled to make some charge for going over the limit, I believe the charges imposed on my account are unfair and punitive, and risk setting up a cycle of additional problems. As someone who is self-employed, I am dependent on my clients paying me on time. I do not want to keep adding to my overdraft limit in case a promised cheque doesn’t arrive when expected. The charges levied by Abbey on my account represent a 66% interest charge on my overdraft. How can it be justifiable to levy £440 in the first instance against an overspend of £150; then a further £179 caused by the original charges taking me over my limit a second time, and swallowing up a sum equivalent to the amount required to pay my normal living expenses over the coming month? The original overspend was not made up of wanton extravagances: to charge me £30 for each transaction even when several were under £5 or £10 seems like profiteering at the expense of the less well-off struggling to keep a head above water.

At this stage, despite recent press coverage, I have not considered looking at all charges levied on my account since it was opened. However, I do ask that you repay the full amount of all these recent charges in full, totalling £619.

Yours faithfully..." etc

 

A second letter was sent telling them how unimpressed I was that they managed to "lose" my correspondence.

 

By the way, I'm so green about all this forum stuff I'm ashamed to say I don't even know how to paste a link so I don't get lost, as you suggest.....:???: I looked for info but couldn't find out!

Hi Lee, and one and all

 

Well, I had an interesting day today - finished up in beer garden so not too bad! :D

 

Received shAbbeys stupid "we are going to stay all claims and win the case and you will get nothing" letter this morning, and then after seeing that Croydon had apparently (omg u can tell I've had a beer) put a blanket stay on all claims on another thread, I took my AQ to the Court this afternoon.

 

My thinking was that as I had to pay £100 regardless, I would leave it till near the deadline - shades of shAbbey there??

 

Anyway, the lovely clerk at the Court brought her Manager out to answer my questions:

 

Have shAbbey submitted their AQ yet? NO, we have not received anything yet.

 

Is there a blanket stay on all claims at Croydon County Court? NO, we are working a case by case basis, and until we receive a directive we will not stay any claims per se; the banks may apply, and may be granted stays by the individual Judges, but there is no Order at the moment to cease all claims.

 

So, to be honest, I feel good but am none the wiser!

Sorry all, that was a bit cryptic!

 

Just having to contend with 2 very upset very children. Zurg, Buzz and Woody are goldfish, of course, and according to the youngest "Buzz and Woody are fast asleep at the top of the tank."

 

NOT!

 

I suppose cleaning out the tank etc will take my mind off shAbbeys' shenanigans.

 

Just read "the letter" again - they are SO patronising:

 

.....we are asking the County Courts to stay all claims.......... A stay means the case is put on hold.

Well thanks for that - we never would have worked it out ourselves!!:mad:

 

Grrrrrrrrr - off to the bathroom for a funeral :D :D
