    • 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 Ladies and Gents,

 

I have received my court date and am in the process of sorting out my court bundle. It's almost complete but does anyone know where I can get a decent transcript from the Whistleblower documentary that I might include? Is it worth doing this or am I barking up the wrong tree?

 

I am due in court on 10th July and have until Tuesday next week to supply my documents to the court so I will be mailing them tonight or early tomorrow.

 

Do Citi have to supply me with similar documentation bundle during this time or is this just on the side of the claimant and I simply receive the defense?

 

Just a couple of nagging little questions :)

 

Hopefully some of you may know and be able to assist. Am getting nervous now....feeling somewhat well out of my depth.

Just got back from court and I think it went fairly well. Judge was fairly down to earth and encouraged me despite my fairly obvious nerves. I got an order for full disclosure within 21 days. Anyone know what happens now or has received data from Citi? Am I to expect a ream of accountancy data that I have no hope of understanding?

Excellent, sounds like you got a nice judge, is there anything for you to comply with on the disclosure order? on mine I had to supply the court and citi with a list of charges, a copy of statements showing charges, copies of relevent laws i was relying on and a statement of evidence, just waiting to see if citi comply, their 14 days are up on the 17th July..

Best of luck..GC

No, All the order said was that Citi have 21 days to supply the data and then I have 21 days to do something with the data. He also said in the event that any 3rd party analysis raised questions, that it was reasonable to expect Citi to respond direct to the third party regarding this, i.e. if I managed to find accountancy people willing to interpret the data if I am unable to do so myself.

Hi Deitus

Better still, no doubt citi will either fail to come up with the goods or try to fob the judge off with their usual £12 and £12.88 costings (without the evidence to back up their figure) looks like its all going your way... I like a happy ending..GC

So I went to court on 10th of July and the judge ordered Citi to provide a breakdown of their costs that justify their charges by July 31st. Surprise surprise they didn't. All they sent me were copy statements with dates highlighted to indicate charges. My question is, what do I do now? Do I wait for my hearing on 18th September or do I write to the court and request judgement by default given that they have failed to comply with the order?

Hi you could write to the District Judge pointing out that citi have'nt complied with the order and ask for the defence to be struck out, but citi have a crafty way of filing papers into court late, they just done that with me, only after I sent them a nudge letter, im in court next wed and only recieved their docs on monday, of course they didnt comply with the full disclosure order in my case either..Best of luck..GC

Definately write to the court.

 

As for what you request, depends on the wording of the order, but would be tempted to ask for judgement by default.

 

Would also be wise to let the court know that in all instances where the defendant has been orderred to provide a breakdown of it's costs the defendant has defaulted on every occasion including an instance at the mercantile court.

Enron you wouldn't have any details of a few of the exact cases they defaulted on would you? Not necessarily to put out publicly but to let me know in order to cite them in my letter? Obviously with the permission of those involved.

I've got a list here, but think Gizmo's is likley to have more.

It has been a while since I updated guys, been a tad busy with college etc.

Citi failed to disclose (surprise surprise) so I filed for judgement by default. When we went back to court, the Citi representative was ill prepared and this seems to have gone majorly wrong for them. Also the fact that they didn't appeal the order to disclose but simply chose to defy it did not go down well with the Judge.

They then tried to have the case stayed pending the outcome of the test case, which I explained had no bearing on credit card cases. Apparantly it sounds like they have been successful with this tactic several times before.

Anyways the Judge declined to make give a decision there and then and advised me to go away and come up with some kind of offer to make to Citi which might win them over in light of the prospect of losing.

I decided against this and was duely rewarded when today official judgement came to me (I had had a draft ruling about a week prior) granting my claim in full :D.

I am a poor student, but rest assured, when I get my grubby mitts on the cash I will be making a donation to the site, and would like to thank everyone who helped but in particular Gizmo and Groovycaz. You are all ace people....keep fighting folks :)
