    • I left Dubai 8 years ago and intended to return. However a job prospect fell through. I’d been there for 15 years. Anyway 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.

sorree, but I have just rechecked and that is the number on their letter to me ! I will try it on monday and see how I get on and let you know. m8ztelephone.gif

 

I know that large organisations do get it wrong cos it has taken me three years to the the NHS Pensions unit to put their number on their letters and not mine

 

:p no worries, that number doesnt ring to anywhere, just goes dead when rang. cheers for the pointer though of who to call.

Chhers but any chance of a real number instead of just random ones?

 

the number doesnt work and now ive wasted 40 mins going to the phone box with a number that doesnt work.

 

its not the first so please please please, make sure that f you leave any info that it is correct and working!!!!!!!!!!

 

thanks.

 

/gets back bangin head on wall.

 

simple really, heres the number from the website, 01625 54 57 45

 

good try though, you was close.

 

i know you guys are trying to help me when im the one lacking in the knowledge but you aint half making it hardwork for me with links that DONT work and wrong numbers.

 

if this is happening to others then no wonder people are a little frantic, fortunately i think i may have sorted it. please please double check info before putting it on a thread. it aint helping if its wrong is it?

 

on that note, many thanks for info that has helped me.

 

Is there any need for this?!

 

All you have done throughout your time here is upset and critise people - quite frankly I don't understand why people bother - if you dared speak to me like this, I would have you reported to the Moderators.

I shall see to it that you are blocked from my account.

Have a good day.

eh?!

 

criticise?! all i did was point that either information given to me is wrong or that i have no idea of what is being said or that links provided have no meaning to me without an explanation. im trying to keep to a deadline with my claim and on weds/thurs things got a bit tense for me with me wanting to submit court claim.

 

so your kind of saying that if information is given to me that is wrong then i should say nothing and carry on?!

 

ive pointed out the correct number after id made a 40min journey(of course i was annoyed), maybe it was my mistake for not checking to see if the number supplied was correct.

 

if i gave you a map of directions from bedford to luton via inverness youd have an idea maybe.

 

ive not abused anyone here, if to criticise is to point out peoples mistakes then im sorry.

 

i cant express how much i do appreciate the help you guys give me, but that said that is all i want from you 'a little help'.

 

maybe it best i dont post on here anymore.

 

thanks for your time/help anyway.

Hello again Foo

 

No one here is suggesting that you don't post. Please continue to do so. There is plenty of help here for you. Rest assured, it is always, always, with the best of intentions.

 

Sometimes, when communicating on the web, the wrong message can be sent or received. We need to be mindful of that. There have however, been a couple of issues.

 

Lets move on and get you your claims back. Honestly, this forum has such a wealth of talent, full of nice helpful folk. Its a great community, working in a harsh environment, with, a common bond ie fighting the banks, given what they have done to us.

OK, i apologise if i did misconstrued anything said and also if i offended anyone. ill try and be more selective with my wording maybe, like said net chat cannot always be expressed in the manner its meant.

 

lets start afresh then.

 

earlier today i received the reply from the bank post dated for the 1/8 (deadline date) but post stamped for 3/8.

 

there reply says basically that 'the case being taken by the OFT is in hand and that all claims are suspended from the normal timetable of dealing with this situation' until the case is settled. they also say that if i execute a court claim they ask for a stay.(as expected) and they also continue to say that they will KEEP ME INFORMED of the situation.

 

After speaking with Financial Ombudsman yesterday afternoon i received today from them the complaint form reguarding their failure to supply me with T&C's as requested under protocol etc.

 

i will be filling in the complaint form over the weekend and then posting it monday morning.

Hi Foo

 

Keep going towards the court, keep to your timescale.

Discussions are taking place on the general forum and elsewhere on how to handle the issue of stays, if judge agree when asked by banks.

 

The banks now have a duty to keep you informed and updated, part of the waiver conditions.

 

The OFT can still handle non compliance on details missing from your banking history and this should be used in court. The fact is, if they had given you the info, you would have had your money by now. Another possibility is the Information Commissioners Office. See Dusarys thread which has a lot of good info on this.

 

Keep going and good luck!!

Legally no, as it is the states money but they do. There is a method called appropriation which is something you can use if you are on benefits and they are taking charges off you presently.

I'll also post a link for that tomorrow.

great stuff there.

they are not charging me for anything at the moment as i usaully keep my account in order, 7 mess ups in 6 years aint bad i dont think but it still cost a good cpl of hundred which is a fair wack per charge when on only £60-£100 a week income!!

 

i know what i would do if was the judge in this circumstance but i aint so ill have to wait :D

if they apply for a stay and i can give my reasons for wanting the stay rejected this is the reason im going to use if i can.

 

cheers again guys.

yes mate all is good.

 

was my Bday over the weekend so went out and got upto no good, am still in recovery mode. :eek:

 

also popped onto insurance section due to a bad crash i had 2 and half years ago and its still being processed!!!

 

As for halifax im waiting for there reply to court action aswell as my complaint from Financial ombudsman. have 14 days on both (17/8 deadline). Will certainly report as soon as i hear something. In the meantime ill keep reading up on the links given and try to map it all out and understand it.

 

Will visit social tomorrow and ask if they will intervene with a letter from themselves and maybe force the issue a bit more, will also ask for print-off from them to confirm i was on benefits at the time of charges.

 

 

----------

 

p.s. Got a freebie off Tesco express saturday night. was out for my Bday heading up north for a night out. put £12 petrol in and bought a cpl of sandwiches on offer at 40p each and some crisp. total was £13.54, so gave the cashier 2 x £10 notes. Cashier gave me a £10 and a £5 and some change with the receipt. so i got out of the shop as quick as i could and left their property. On inspecting the receipt the cashier had rang in a £10 and a £20 note giving me £16.46 change.

 

:roll::roll::D:D

 

oh how i laughed up the motorway. Cheered me right up. :)
