    • 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.

Hello,

 

I have not posted on here before but have been reading for a few months. I now feel the need for some trusty advice and guidance as im a bit stuck and worried.

 

Basically i started a claim through money claim online against HSBC for just over £1000 worth of bank charges which were mainly due to overdraft charges. They defended the claim and my local county court sent me a Judgement Order for a schedule of the charges that had been taken from my account, i sent this to the court and to HSBC, two weeks later i have recieved a Notice of hearing for an Allocation / Directions Hearing on the 11th July for a ten minute hearing.

 

My questions are:

 

- What do i do from here?

- Will HSBC go to court?

- Do i need a solicitor?

- What happens if i dont go, will i be fined or anything?

- If i go and loose do i have to pay anything?

- What is the latest i can pull out of the hearing?

 

Any replies will be greatly appreciated, i know you have probable answered them all before. I have trailed through alot of threads looking for answers.

pull out lol - no pulling out - you have paid your fees and you wont lose hsbc wont turn up in court.

 

now things for you to do nudge dg solicitors telling them of the court date and you would prefer to settle blah blah a letter for this can be found in latties thread here (a schedule needs to be sent with the letter)

 

also start looking at the court bundle on your letter from the court they would have asked for this 14 days before the court hearing probably so you need to action this very soon take a look at this thread by lattie and start sorting the court bundle

 

the bundle and letters to dg should be sent via recorded delivery the court bundle is about 200 pages long and this needs to be done in triplicate 1 for you 1 for dg and 1 for the court.

 

if you need any more help with this im sure lattie or a mod will help you - they know alot more than me and can help in ways i cant.

before you do ring the courts and ask them if it is needed and when its required for submission get it in a few days before the date they require it.

 

Ok i will ring them now and ask the question! :confused:

I have called them and they said i dont need to take anything other than what i have submitted already to the court which has only been the schedule of charges and the claim through MCOL. They said this is just for the judge to make a decision and he said it is likely it wont even get to court?!

There are a few of these directions about at the moment, I think the District Judge is just seeing if DG will show up, if they dont I would think its likley he/she will strike out their defence.

 

DG will make you an offer before your court date but in the unlikely event they dont I would take your correspondence and a copy of your schedule to scribble on in case your judge wants to chat about your claim but I doubt you will be with the judge long at all.

 

Have a read of the end of this thread, this is the only person I know who has been to court, the judge asked if he had any trouble parking and wrote a strike out order against DG

Thanks castlebest i have read that and got me a bit more motivated for the hearing. I sent a nudge to DG on the 18th June and heard nothing back as yet, when should i send another one?

Nudge every 10 days. You can always give them a ring nearer to your court date and just ask if they will be attending and tell them that you will see them there! It might just do the trick. Either way they will pay up in the end!:)

DG?

 

they thrive on delaying you as much as possible to put you off.

They will pay up, they always do.

There has even been tales of the full settlement letter being shown to a customer just a few weeks into the claim.... its just a game of chicken!

chin up PB... you are at the last hurdle :-D

If they do i will die! :confused:

no you will not, you will win! ;)

 

It is very likely your offer will be very soon.

And very unlikely they will turn up in court.

Being prepared will calm your nerves a bit, go over the arguments. You are in the right, HSBC are in the wrong... they have taken this money from you unlawfully.

 

stick in there PB... we are rooting for you!

 

Crusher :-D

Hiya Phh, I've only ever seen one person who actualy went to court, the Judge asked him 3 questions.

  1. Did you have troubble parking (true)
  2. Have you heard from DG
  3. Has this cost you anything

The Judge then ruled in his favour... he won

 

Do a search for Nooey

Hi, I'm new to posting but have been reading the site for a while. I've made a claim against HSBC for £440. No response. I took them to court and claimed £490 (inclusive of the £50 moneyclaim fee) and they offered me £420.

 

I turned it down, telling them that had they responded promptly I wouldn't have taken it to court and wouldn't have incurred the £50 court fee.

 

Next I hear I have a `Notice of Transfer of Proceedings' to my local court. Do I need to respond to this and will I hear separately of a date or should I contact the Court?

 

The bit about filling in an allocation questionnaire has been crossed out - does that mean I don't need to fill it in?

 

As you can tell I'm getting scared now and think I should have accepted their initial offer of £420

 

HELP!!!!
