    • 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.

I knew it! Back in April I sent a SAR to Barclaycard, but due to lack of any correspondence I could not provide any sort of account no'. I was only able to give the approximate date I opened it. Barclaycard denied all knowledge of the account and claimed I must be mistaken. They returned my £10 cheque and I went away thinking I would never be able to prove it.

 

Anyay, this evening after having a browse through mt Equifax credit report, I discover the report on the Barclaycard account and see that it was indeed open for the dates I gave them (approximately). It still doesn't give the account no' on the equifax report though.

 

I have written a new SAR hilighting this new information and enclosed a printout of the equifax report. Are they likely to maintain that they still cannot find the account?

 

Does anyone have any experience of how to deal with them if they deny the existence of an account?

It becomes a matter for the ICO. You would complain to them that they have failed in their duty as a data controller, and you wish to lodge a formal complaint, giving the name of the bod who sends you the letter saying you're talking rubbish!

 

Then, you could also start court proceedings to have the bank FORCED into giving you your information.

 

But wait and see first!

Hi Camdenite

I had the same prob with Barclaycard and a trawl through my bank statements revealed some payments made to them direct from my a/c. So I obtained the a/c number through the Coop; it took the girl there some time, but she persisted and rang me back with my Barclaycard a/c number which I duly sent off to receive my statements. Even then, it took Barclaycard nearly 90 days to send them though!!!! :eek:

Thanks for info both. I had enough of a 'mare with Providian to know exactly how they'll play this. I was at the point of taking Providian to court for non-compliance of a SAR but to be honest they really didn't give a monkeys to any threats. If it comes to it I'll have to do it though.

 

I like the idea of calling my bank (Abbey) and seeing if they'll furnish me with the information. What better way for them to get one over a rival. I can't believe I never thought of that.

I had the same problem with Mint/RBS, I knew I had a card with them ages ago but they said I didn't. The Mint account showed up on my equifax report and I phoned them and they were able to give me the Mint account number over the phone.

Just tried Barclaycard Cutomer Services on the phone before I send of the new SAR, in one last attempt to discover my account no'. They are still playing hardball and claim the account does not exist, even with me claiming to have proof from Equifax.

 

Is there a direct line for anyone at the Data Protection Team who might understand what I'm talking about rather than the half-wits in Customer Services?

 

Just had one idiot try to tell me that it was possible for a building to only have a PO Box no' and not an actual street address! They're really not paid to think are they?

Hey Camdenite

 

That's a great idea; call Equifax and ask them for the a/c number, it may be a quicker route than your Bank. The Freephone number is 0800 7839421 and you can also ring the Bradford office on 01274 759759

Good luck :)

Thanks PB. I actually got my credit report files via a company called Check My File that give all three, Experian, Equifax & the other one who's name escapes me. Anyway I have asked Check My File to see if they will supply.

 

Do you have the names of anyone on the Bradford no' to talk to? Is that where there Data Protection team is based as the SAR I sent today was to Northampton.

Hi C

I don't have any contacts at Equifax but having called them once on the Bradfor number, I can say that a very nice older man spoke to me and was helpful with my samll enquiry. I do believe that this is where the Data Protection team are.

Hi PB. Just tried Equifax and they told me they could not supply the account no'. It may be because I didn't have an Equfax ref' when asked for one and I told them I went via Check My File.

 

All they could recommend was going to the ICO.:(

Hi hun

 

Sorry about that :? Never mind, I think you should try my other method and have a look though your bank statments to see it you've made any payments from your a/c to their's

Will do. PB. I just want to avoid any contact with my bank, Abbey, at the moment. I don't want some overzealous clerk to see the fact that we're due in court on the 7th September and remind one of their superiors to put a request for a stay in ;)

Just received a letter from Lyndsay Hilton regarding my account. Any thoughts on the following?

 

"I have managed to locate the number of the Barclaycard that you held some time ago and have added this to the top of this letter for your reference.

 

As I thought, because this account has been closed for sometime (sic), the details relating to it have purged off(been purged from, maybe:p ) the main Barclaycard system and therefore we are unable to obtain the copy statements that you require.

 

as a consequence, I have passed this to the relevant team dealing with the refunds of the charges applied and they will contact you".

 

Effectively they seem to be saying that we'll supply you a list of charges, but you'll just have to trust the information is correct in the absence of any statements. They really can't do this, can they?

Hi Camdenite, I sympathise with your situation as a similar thing happened to me. I had to find my own old a/c number and it took 90 days for the statements to come through for charges relating to 2001. I think if you can be patient and wait for the communication that Lyndsay refers to, you will eventually get your statements. But it's true that Barclaycard can be notoriously slow.

 

At least now you have your a/c number and if you don't receive anything from them, you can send a letter to their Data Protection Officer ...

Does anyone have experience of them saying they won't be able to provide statements, just a list of charges that I'll have to take at face-value?

 

A little bump;) . Is there any sort of template for this scenrio? They really can't be trusted to supply me a truthful list of the charges can they?
