    • 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.

Update

I received the order from the court at the end of last week, it said the stay had been lifted and nothing else, so I rang the court, only to find out they had made an erroe again! They said that there shuld have been a hearing date with instructions and they would ammend and send out another notice.

 

2 mistakes in as many weeks by my local court, anyway I have now received a new order, which reads as follows:

 

DJ Wildsmith has considered the statements of case and AQ's filed and allocated the claim to the small claims track.

 

The hearing of the claim will take place at 1400 on 3 June 2008 at Scarborough County Court and will take no longer than y (that is not a typing error, it actually says y on the order) A hearing fee of £25 is payable by 28 June by the claimant unless you make an application for a fee concession. Failure to pay the fee will result in the hearing being removed from the list.

 

The court must be informed immediately if the case is settled by agreement before the hearing date.

 

The hearing fee will be refunded in full if the court receives notice in writing at least 7 days before the hearing date, that the case is settled or discontinued.

 

Each party shall deliver to every other party and to the court office copies of all documents (including any experts report) on which he intends to rely at the hearing no later than 28 May 2008.

 

The original documents shall be brought to the hearing.

 

Date: 14 May 2008

 

So finally after all these months a hearing is actually going to happen, will Sky attend? Who knows.

 

I would be gratefull if anyone has any advice regarding any aspects of this order.

 

Buzby I want to make sure I get this right, if you can offer any advice it will be greatly appreciated. This might sound a bit daft but I am a bit unsure as to what exactly I need to send to Sky's solicitor and the court, I thought their solicitor would have copies of everything allready, is it just a copy of the letters I sent, or do I need a bundle like for bank charges? I am sure when it comes to it I will be fine but at the moment it all seems a bit worrying!

In effect you are providing the court (and Sky) with copies of all documents you intend to rely on to prove your case. Send this in good time, with your court fee. Do also remember to keep a tally of these costs as when the case is decided in your favour, you can remind the registrar of them, as there are times they only remember the initial Court fee, not the additional's.

 

For your 'evidence' bundle - it is usually easier to list them in date order (as the story unfolds, as it were), number or letter each item/letter and for safety, add a contents list describing each piece and its reference number. This is a godsend if you need to jump to find facts out of sequence. You send copies of this list of productions to both the court and Sky's solicitors. Will they turn up? I doubt it, but they'll probably wait until the last day or so.

:DMajor Development - A Victory for the common man!:D

Finally after over a year of arguing my case and sticking to my guns, with a date set at court, finally Sky have settled my claim out of court!

 

I received a settlement offer today by Special Delivery at 0830 and after some phone calls earlier today, I agreed to accept their offer.

 

Unfortunately part of the agreement is that I do not disclose the details of the settlement. As I have agreed then obviously I can't put the details on this thread.

 

All I will say is I achieved all I ever wanted and more on top.

 

The important thing is, my victory demonstrates that the everyday man in the street can take on the big corporate companies and get a result.

If you have just cause for complaint, do it, thinking about it will not change anything, taking action can.

I would like to thank all those people, who have supported me in this forum and also those who have given me advice and help, particularly Buzby, who has supported and helped me from the beginning, also my double agent who gave me some invaluable information and advice, you know who you are;).

 

So that is that, just round two with the Abbey to finish, the Tax Credit department to do battle with and a negligence claim against my local hospital and everything in the world will be sorted:D. For now though I will enjoy this one.................at least for a couple of weeks.

Hi Dave

 

In answer to your question, I don't really know.

 

I suppose if theoretically there was a sum of money involved, then until that was paid and cleared, it could be withdrawn, as could any other benefits of a settlement. Other than that, well I don't suppose anything could be done. However there is also the matter that if disclosure of the details is part of the settlement and built into it, then is it not right that it should be honoured?
