    • 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.

oh I think for the banks.... probably cases where the judge has gone down the line of thought on considerations being added... ie no more bank charges being incurred to account prior to result of OFT case. And then deciding against adding them!... Im sure one of mods might recognise the cases.

Hi stone and thanks for that :D Did you get your hearing date changed yet? also I wrote to that BBC programme and they never answered me at all, hope they got some good cases on there, must remember to watch that val

 

 

They were following my case, but the date for my hearing 13 Nov is outside their timescale. The program will go out on 16 Nov. They told me that they do have some interesting cases, so it is a pity that i will miss it as I am away on hols then. Will just have to find some kind soul to record it for me.

Hiya Olden first time I've read the full account well done !!! told you you would be ok once you were there :)

 

The cases he referred to were something like (and if anyone can interpret them, please feel free)

 

Bearing

Doesn't ring a bell here

Carslyle

Carslisle v Clydesdale (see below)

Harris v HSBC - Ian Hughes

Heynes v HSBC ? (see below)

Crossdale

Carslisle v Clydesdale ? (see below)

 

 

The two cases that are being used by HSBC (I know this is Barclays :rolleyes:) are Heynes v HSBC and Carslisle v Clydesdale. In both cases the judge upheld the stay but there are differences.

 

Heynes v HSBC.

Mark Heynes agreed to clear the outstanding overdrawn balances of his accounts so the judge stated there was no need to place further restrictions on the bank.

I have a paper copy of this judgment but don't know of a copy online.

 

Carslisle v Clydesdale (also known as the Leed's mercantile hearing)

This case was heard by a high court judge so I'm pretty sure it set a precedent (rules for other judges to follow).

The judge was aware of the possible actions of the bank while the stay was in place, further charges, debt collection, default report etc but he didn't think restrictions on the bank were appropriate. He does state however if the bank do try to collect or report defaults the stay would be removed immediately and the case would go to hearing effectively blocking the bank from any action during the stay.

NO ATTENDANCE REQUIRED

5 minutes has been allowed for the hearing

please note.. This case may be released to another Judge, possibly at a different Court.

Hi all Have you seen this, I emailed Alanfromderby,and this is the reply, i was trying to forward my details to him as asked on the judicial review site where crfx has put that together. they want as many cases as possible. not sure if my hardship details are enough, but the other grounds put forward might be? :-

 

Hi

 

Thanks for your message, actually the server was down on Thursday/Friday for

essential maintenance work - it was nothing caused by outside influence as

it is our own server.

 

Our final submissions will be going to the FSA tomorrow, so if you wish your

case to be included then please can you let me have the details today if

possible.

 

It may also interest you to know that we have been contacted by Guy Weaver,

who is a journalist working for MoneyMail. He has asked for anyone who has a

complaint about a bank failing to action claims where they are going through

financial hardship.

 

As your case may fall within that category, you might wish to consider

contacting him to discuss your situation.

 

Thanks again for your support.

 

Best Regards

 

Alan

What a shame about the judicial review proposal, all seems to be lost and CRFX is away so no one knows if anything can be done do they?

 

The paragraph about crfx not having standing as he himself is not aggrieved surely crfx could use one of us claimants name? and we would all be prepared to join ? Is this possible? CRFX has worked so hard for everyone. Not forgetting all of you.

OK now I think i need to do something about my debt. Is it a good move to get rid of Barclays after 45 years of banking with them and put the overdraft on to a loan with the cheapest interest rate? or should I keep barclays mounting up charges? As I knew when that stupid Bs sol. made her stupid comment to the judge! that I was 1000 under my limit!! by the end of the month I was up to the £5000 and by tomorrow will probably be hit! can't transfer any more that makes £9000 owing now. Any good tips would be nice.

omg Val.... how about opening/or if you have already got another bank account, getting all your monies paid into that and transfer what dd/so you have to the new account. Leave the barclays one standing just under the overdraft limit and just deposit enough to cover interest to keep it under the limit. Then sit back, forget barclays and wait and see if/if ever/ when barclays own up to overcharging and refund. Thats what I have done only using another barclays account that I had as I was unable to open another bank account. xxxxxx

hi val,

always easier said than done.

not knowing your personal stuff its difficult.

this is said in no condesending way to anyone,its just

what i have done

,the cheapest money was to borrow on house,which i did at start of all this.consequently i havent had any charges applied since.

i have got rid of 90% of my direct debits,this is a must to not get charges.

no direct debits no charges.

if you take cash out of hole in the wall knowing you will go into red,which we have all done,then charges.

ive kept important direct debits eg..,mortgauge,rates,dont want trouble from them,for non payment.

in a nutshell the rest can get stuffed,they get it,when i get it.

i now have bills sent direct to me.

back to good old red letters.

i have a water card to pay by at shop next to post office

energy bills come direct.

maybe pain for lot of people,but if it means no hassel from charges im doing it.

 

on the same note,i wonder if the oft will cover this point about people having to borrow to pay back o d caused by unlawful charges.

people loosing houses.

getting divorced because of money.

loosing buisnesses.

many more.

i never signed any thing when i got paid,so as far as im concerned my case is still open for further claims for damages.

unless the oft draw a line underneath all this,there will be claims for damages eg.., tom brennen.

 

thats why i think,the outcome of oft will not find charges were unlawful,ilegal or anything else.the damages scenario will make charges look like pee in the ocean.

 

back in groove,had severe case of sleeping sickness
