    • 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.

Hi all,

 

just a quick email to let you all know that i started the ball rolling with HSBC on June 12th for the return of punitive bank charges. Have already successfully reclaimed from Alliance and Leicester so HSBC should be straightforward. will keep you all up to date with my progress.

 

best

cheers for that hsbcrusher ... but that's my passport picture :wink:

 

onto the real business ...

a quick up date - had an offer of 70% of my claim from Colin Langdale over in Leeds on friday. have just printed out my rejection of this as settlement and my intention to pursue hsbc for the full amount.

 

best wishes

I have absolutely no doubt ... already successfully completed against Alliance & Leicester! paid off my over draft (spooky coincidence or what) and closed the account.

 

if the banks had a case then they would have already taken one of us to court. wouldn't it be great if they did - can you imagine the publicity around any case. the whole fee thing is a way of making easy money and it's time we all stopped letting the banks take the proverbial.

 

hmm, monday morning rant over ...

well, got to the end of the 14 days and of course nothing from HSBC. so I filed my claim at Moneyclaim online a few minutes ago. I'm still assuming that they will go to the wire - wouldn't it be nice if they just paid up!

 

update as and when HSBC get in touch

Many thanks.

you're not blind, there is no official template letter, however something along the lines of

 

dear mr bank dude

 

regarding your offer of £xxxx in letter dated XXXX , i accept this amount as a partial settlement only , and i will be pursuing the remainder of £xxxx as stipulated by my original timetable

 

regards

 

me

No problem with the letter Michellemc – I used the LBA template but inserted the following paragraph at the start.

 

Dear Mr bank dude

Thank you for your letter dated 22nd June offering a partial refund of my total claim. I am willing to accept the part payment offered by you for £xxx, however please be aware that I will still pursue the remaining amount and that as a matter of principle I am fully prepared to go to court over this issue. Please do not consider this an idle threat or a frivolous act. I have already successfully conducted a claim against Alliance & Leicester PLC. I also note that on June 13th you charged another set of unlawful punitive charges (£50) to my account which I will be adding to the claim.

 

and then the LBA details again giving them 14 days to respond.

this is what I sent

 

I thank you for your letter dated 13th June 2006.

 

I wish to accept your offer of £XXXX as an installment towards the full amount owing, XXXX.

Only when the £XXXX is paid in full will I cease my court action against HSBC.

 

I am entirely confident that the charges imposed by HSBC are completely unreasonable, and that a court would agree with this statement.

Hi all,

Quick question for you.

 

Claim issued on July 13th (so deemed to be served opn the 18th). Acknowledge dby HSBC on the 19th. I received letter dated July 14th offering full settlement – however I’m going to be out of pocket £50 MCOL fees, and the 8% interest.

 

What do you all reckon, do I accept the full settlement offer and agree to the £50 hit or do I reject /ignore the offer and proceed with claim for full amount, plus costs and interest?

 

Stuart
