  • Thoughts on letter of Complain to FCA regarding CWD...

    I am a UK property owner who also lost my job in Dubai in 2007.


    The sad news is despite this being UAE international debt Coyle White Devine has filed a second charge again my title register although it doesn't tell me how much it is...


    Any advice on how to deal with this please?


    I have living in Europe for over two years and never saw any letters plus I think the process was automated through Northampton CC due to no response.


    The debt is from Dubai EmiratesNBD from 2007.
    The Interim charge is from November 2013 on my deeds. I can PM the copy if you like. I only just noticed it.
    I have not received any post because I have been in Europe for 2 years so was a shock.
    I think the UK solicitor acting on behalf of the UAE banks.
    I was advised on getting it set aside but I need more advice on what defence? Juristiction or non-receipt, knowledge of any debt.
    Any help you can offer would be amazing.
    Thanks.


    CWD letter potential to complain to FCA?


    **Companies need to consider any third parties which they outsource credit related activities to. – Do these third parties have the requisite permissions in place? Are they acting in accordance with the FCA’s expectations and requirements? How do companies satisfy themselves regarding this?

    Dear Sir


    I wish to make a formal complaint about a company called xxxxxxxxxxxx (CWD etc) I have recently received a statutory demand which I intend to set aside due to a major dispute / which I have set aside in my local court, and despite (no response from xxxxxxx / them not appearing in court) / to which I have not responded, and it is clear to see that as the time has run out to present a bankruptcy petition / It should be mentioned that at no time have they attempted any kind of personal service which I believe is an integral part of the Insolvency procedures. I feel they have used the demand as a debt collection tool.


    I understand that another debt collection agency were given 'requirements' by the Office Of Fair Trading back in 2009. In your requirements imposition you clearly stated to 1st Credit that.


    refrain from issuing statutory demands warning of bankruptcy where it is unlikely that proceedings will be initiated


    Can you please clarify to me if I am correct in stating that all debt collection agencies compliance departments should comply with this ?


    I realise that you will not be able to get involved in individual cases, but I would like to bring this to your attention.


    Yours sincerely

    You say the time has run out to present a petition, when did you receive the SD? How was the SD served? By 1st class post?

    As per your other thread, I've emailed someone in Dubai to see if they have any ideas. ray:

      We need to know what sort of account was this, i.e. a loan, credit card or overdraft.

      In Dubai it's customary to back up credit with postdated cheques and bouncing cheques used to be a criminal offence with a custodial sentence, although I believe things have relaxed a little in the past year or so.

      Can you give us a bit more info on this?

        Hi sorry for the delay
        The loan was for a Dubai Credit Card when I was working there in 2007.
        However the stat demand is from CWD who are lawyers working in the UK for the Dubai banks.

          Was the credit card guaranteed by cheques? Which company are the lawyers acting on behalf of? Who submitted a claim through Northampton and got judgment against you? Was it the bank itself or another company such as a debt purchaser?

            So all finance in Dubai is guarenteed by cheques. Bouncing equals prison. I used to sell new developments in Dubai and when it craahed we all lost our jobs overnight and had to flee.
            The lender is EmiratesNBD and CWD are UK lawyers working for them.

              That's what I always thought, although I hear there's been a recent move towards relaxing those penalties.

              http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2...sheikh-khalifa
              The UAE's tough penalties for defaulting on loans, which is a criminal offence in the Gulf Arab monarchy, were relaxed for Emirati citizens in October after a royal decree.


              "In line with the directives of Sheikh Khalifa... and in the spirit of fairness and equality, the courts have stopped as of last month accepting collateral cheques presented as a criminal tool against expatriate debt defaulters," Ali Khalfan Al Dhaheri, head of the legal affairs department at the Ministry of Presidential Affairs was quoted saying.

              To clarify, the lawyers are acting for EmiratesNBD which is a UAE bank, the debt hasn't been sold to a debt purchaser?

                That 'decree' wasn't available in 2007 just a sweaty prison which is why 40,000 fled over 4 weeks. I would never trust the system there.

                So the UK lawyers claim they aren't dc's but lawyers acting on behalf of UAE lenders. There letters are very aggressive, threatening people with bankruptcy. If they did, they wouldnt get any money anyway.

                  Indeed, it only dates back to 2013.

                  Rightly so, since laws can seemingly be passed/changed overnight without following the process we are used to in the west. :incourt:
