OUR
EMAIL TO Mark Zuckerberg FOR UNREASONABLE SUPRESSION OF HISTORICAL FACT. |
|
Further to
my last email. This is a public notice that Drummond & Co are today issuing proceedings against Facebook for Harassment under Prevention From Harassment Act 1997 for blocking Michael Davey's use of Facerbook for Racist anti- semetic reasons. Be warned that the person concernened and Directors will also be referred under S.2 which is a criminal section and may lead up to 6 months in prison and/or a Class V fine This notice will be circulated on our websites which obtain up to 350,000 views a day and syndicated. I have this week been reprimanded andaction taken by one of your cohorts for stating an undisputed historical fact as a comment in regards to what was an attack upon the Jewish People and the State of Israel. The Facebook site of Vox Political ( https://www.facebook.com/VoxPolitical/) was where I wrote it. The facts I wrote about were in an official translation in regards a meeting which took place on November 28th 1941 between Adolph Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem. These are the facts seehttps://www.timesofisrael.com/full-official-record-what-the-mufti-said-to-hitler/ |
It appears
that people may use Facebook to be rude and abusive
.....but may not quote historical facts. Please
explain why I am not allowed to respond to attacks
made by others as such. My facebook account is:

SOCIAL
MEDIA CHARLATANS

But we have to tell them that we all know all about them today than ever before. They are easily traceable by either location or ownership of a computer, phone etc. We know where they bank, their credit ratings, their criminal records and much much more. We have spent decades outing these type of people and will continue to do so vigourously. Our parent Company of lawyers have successfully prosecuted many of these people under the Prevention from Harassment Act 1997 not only for damages. Section 2 of that act is CRIMINAL and perpetrators may receive up to 6 months in prison and either/or a Class V fine. So in order to show them up for what they are we are compiling a list of them. As an example our Chairman was on a social media group page that specializes in being anti Tory. Good luck to them . Everyone is entitled to an opinion. But some of their followers who have never known the art of sensible discussion believe they are clever by slagging off other followers. Their rudeness just shows their own feelings of insecurity and lack of courtesy and good manners. On the many such sites that we run ourselves we just remove them. As Oscar Wilde once stated " You may call me anything but late for breakfast". We name and shame them. We have been operating on-line since the Prestel days in the early 1980s and have noticed that as year passes the internet has become more accessible throughout the world but has deteriorated in regards people respecting one another. As we stated we run several such sites and have readers throughout the World with up to 350,000 views a day. Unfortunately the social media rude people tend to be in the United Kingdom.These losers are a blight on our society but thankfully a very small minority. Well these are an example of what he received as a reply. |

NOVEMBER 25th 2009 IS
A LANDMARK DAY IN BANKING HISTORY. FOR THE
BANKS HAVE BASICALLY WON A BATTLE BUT IN THE
PROCESS HAVE LOST THE WAR
Yes the OFT
have lost their case against the Banks on
a technicality but in the 46 page summing
up the Supreme Court made it clear that
the underlying reasons of the OFT claim
were right and that the banks have not
just been overcharging but by their own
devious actions have been creating
unauthorised overdrafts so as to then take
massive disproportionate charges. This we
realised some time ago especially where
the banks have tried to take a charge of
up to £8 a day on overdrafts of a few
pence. Their little game is to allow an
unauthorised overdraft of a few £'s so
that they can claim their large daily rate
and then bounce any further payments. The
question is why did they allow the
original unauthorised overdraft in the
first place. In most cases the customer
didn't request the overdraft- therefore
the debt is the fault of the bank and the
Customer should NOT pay such charges.
To the OFT, the Supreme Court hinted that it might want to look at a different section of the law. Instead of regulation six, it should look to regulation five. By not allowing the customers to have a say in whether the bank should accept transactions that take them beyond their unauthorised overdraft limit, for example, the banks could be said to be in breach of this regulation. Therefore we shall take every case we are dealing with to the Courts under section 5, as we have been doing for some years now. We specialize in challenging
Banks & Credit Card Companies in regards
their charges on credit cards and charges for bouncing cheques and
Direct Debits. We also act for people who are
being persued for debts & advise them how to
defend against those debts and the charges that
are being included in them. In most cases
these charges are disproportionately high and it
is likely that these Companies are conducting
unfair terms under CONSUMER
CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1999 . Further in many cases they
have been taking insurance premiums to cover debts
if the creditor loses his/her job, but still chase
the creditor when they may have collected an
insurance payout.
We name & shame these financial institutions who are ripping off their customers and direct clients to the appropriate authorities to report them to. In recent months these actions have gathered pace & the banks are trying more unfair methods of fighting back like closing accounts. We can assist you by further naming & shaming the individuals in the banks playing such games. Remember they only got big by servicing the public & if they abuse the public then they can also meet the same people on the way down. We have had questions asked in Parliament and will continue to fight for the Consumer. We have now added a list of the leading CEOs in the UK for YOU to contact direct so avoiding call centres etc
BANKS - helpful institutions which keep your money safe or ‘legitimate’ cartels that fleece you for every penny they can get? Who are we to say? Anyway, the banking industry is set to lose even more fans after it was revealed that the Halifax has been harassing one Alison Turner for unpaid overdraft charges she didn‘t owe.The mum of two from Plymouth received a total of 33 phone calls and letters from bank staff demanding she pay back the £775 in charges even though the bank had already agreed to wipe them out. However,
like thousands of people all over the country,
Turner decided to fight back, bringing a legal
action against the Halifax under the PROTECTION FROM
HARASSMENT ACT 1997 .She won. And
is expected to receive a cash payment after the bank
agreed to settle out of court. Hurray for
justice.
A bruised and sullen Halifax mumbled tersely, “We have no comment other than it's settled.” What, nothing about it being an isolated incident, computer problems, staff retraining etc. etc. ? As a firm of lawyers we receive these type of phone calls daily- sometimes even from India. The twits at the other end believe they are phoning the alleged debtors- instead we are monitoring all their calls and preparing to take extensive legal action against them. We will name & shame the people responsible and give everyone their home phone numbers for"A person guilty of an offence under this act is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months, or a fine not exceeding level 5 on the standard scale, or both." These pests must be stopped and Shitstirrers of Wessex will lead the way. Email us with details of harassment you have suffered- Down in Plymouth two cases have made history. And believe us it is not just banks & credit card companiesbut unscrupulous landlords. We have been informed of one instance of a landlord trespassing into an OAP tenant's flat at 8.15pm on a Saturday night & so frightening his partner that she left and within a few days was no longer with us. These people should not be allowed to be landlords. We have been handed the most disgusting letter sent out from Bristol in regarding television licenses- this letter is absolute harassment in the name of an authority- watch this column as we have the perpetrators brought to justice. We will act on behalf of anyone who is suffering harassment., The law is on your side and the bullies will not get their pound of flesh. It seems that certain Debt Collectors do not take the hint that they are breaking the law . We have encountered by a company who call themselves by the mis-nomen of Credit Solutions Ltd of Capella Court, Brighton Road, Purley Surrey CR8 2PG . We represent a client in regards his financial affairs & they have decided to keep telephoning & SMSing our offices & harassing. Despite telling them by phone twenty times and 6 emails they continue to harass us. These have been recorded. We have passed on the details to the OFT , the CSA and the Somerset & Avon Police (ref: 78202/08). and suggest that other readers phone and inform them that they are HARRASSING under PROTECTION FROM HARASSMENT ACT 1997. This is a CRIMINAL Act which can lead to 6 months imprisonment and/or a level 5 fine. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 0800 783 5602 and their Managing Director is Will Pierce. We have his full home & work details & will publish them if this Harassment does not stop. Another Company that keeps ringing our offices are J B Debt Recovery of 176 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4HG from a phone number 08002889838 asking for a client who passed away in 2003. They have been informed of this at least 9 times and have continued to keep harassing. Our phone numbers are forwarding numbers from an admirable company called www.yac.com. So whoever is using that 0709 number received these harassments - however we have now screened & blocked that number and other numbers of theirs: 0870 744 7855 & 0141 353 0088. You should contact your supplier and arrange that these numbers are blocked. Such companies will soon learn that they are wasting their time. We will leave the rest to our readers.

We
recommend all those being persued by Capital One
write back & ask them to explain their charges
in relation to the CONSUMER CONTRACT
REGULATIONS 1999 . Maybe they will get a
response.
REPORT THE PERPETRATORS TO THE POLICE We
have recently been informed of a case with Capital
One where a disabled person has been persued for a
debt on one of their credit cards. This lady in
Lincolnshire NEVER activated that Credit Card. Yet
despite many letters to Capital One they have
endeavoured to sell this debt on to Lowells and
CapQuest. Lowells sent it back to Capital One.
CapQuest have so far passed it on to both Scotcall
& ccscollect of 797 London Road, Thornton
Heath, Surrey CR7 6YY . On behalf of
the client we are passing this matter onto the
police under s.2 Prevention of Harassment Act 1997

Law
student wins case against bank's 'rip-off' penalties
By Richard Savill (Filed: 29/06/2005 Daily Telegraph)) A law
student who sued Abbey National to recoup what he
claimed were "profit-making" penalty charges has
won a court order for compensation after the bank
failed to file a defence.
Stephen Hone, 29, claimed that penalty charges of £32 for bounced direct debits were disproportionate to the administrative costs incurred by the bank. Mr Hone, a father of three, who is studying for a degree at Plymouth University, has claimed back six years' worth of penalty charges for bounced direct debits. He argued that, under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations, 1999, a consumer should not pay a disproportionately high sum in compensation for failing to meet an obligation. On a claim form against the bank entered at Plymouth County Court, Mr Hone wrote: "Your charges do not reflect any actual or real loss; instead, they appear to represent a lucrative profit-making scheme." He said that £32 was not a fair reflection of the amount it cost for a bank computer to generate an automatic letter and penalty charge and was instead a "money spinner". He submitted the claim but Abbey National failed to file a defence within the court deadline period. As a result, district judge Andrew Moon has made a court order requiring Abbey National to pay Mr Hone an amount of compensation to be decided, and costs. Mr Hone has claimed a figure of up to £2,000, including interest. Abbey National said it had not been able to defend the case because it had not been notified of the court date. After the case, Mr Hone said: "I work part-time in a video shop and I simply don't have the money to spare when I am charged extortionate penalties. "I felt I had to go to court to prove a point about the rip-off charges." |

HSBC
(Higher Service Bank Charges) DIRECT DEBITS THE SCANDAL OF THE BANKING SYSTEM We have a
small account with HSBC Wessex. It is a rarely
used account mainly in position to pay Direct
Debits.
However it has thrown up a problem at the very core of the Direct Debit system. For we have found that credit card and utility companies can take money from our account without any authorisation from ourselves. The Bank needs no signature whatsoever and fails to inform us prior to allowing monies to be taken. This is bad enough. But when we query these Direct Debits it amazing to find out that these Direct Debits are nothing to do with any accounts we hold. In fact they are to pay for someone else's Credit Cards and Telephone Accounts. We wrote to HSBC since the end of 2004 they appearrg to either not understand or not want to understand. Further like Mr Hone in the adjoining article they try and charge us for bouncing our genuine Direct Debits & those that are nothing to do with us. The only reason they are being bounced is that they have paid our monies to pay other people's Direct Debits. The BACS system claims repayment within 48 hours - not 6 months. Like Mr Hone we were disgusted and were prepared to take this case to Court and claim extensive damages. If you had failed to sign a cheque the cheque would not be honoured- So why do they accept a Direct debit without any authority from the Account holder? Further when enquiries are made by the Account Holder at the Bank failed to produce any evidence that the Direct Debits concerned had anything whatsoever to do with the Account Holder. These letters have been going back and forwards between ourselves and a Mrs.C.J.Ross-Jones of HSBC's Business Credit Services for over 6 months and now a David . L. Johnson a Customer Service Officer has proposed a long system on the bank's complaint handling procedure be implemented. Maybe he would like our bills to be paid by Direct Debit out of his account Eventually after 6 months + we have our money returned. No compensation- Now the boot is on the other foot and they want charges of 28.2% + a daily charge amounting to £8+ because they paid a small bill of £20 & created an "unauthorized" overdraft. So from now on as they did not pay us - WE WILL NOT PAY THEM. Let them sue & we will publish the letters & the pleadings to warn you all how to deal with them. Under section 5 of the CONSUMER CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1999 By not allowing the customers to have a say in whether the bank should accept transactions that take them beyond their unauthorised overdraft limit, for example, the banks could be said to be in breach of this regulation. |
Beware
there
is a Wolf in Sheep's clothing emanating out of
Fleet in Hampshire. The latest trick
being perpetrated by a Debt collection Company
named CAPQUEST DEBT RECOVERY LIMITED is to
make out that they are "The Post Office"
trying to deliver to unsuspecting people
another of their staff tried to make out he
was T-Mobile with an offer.The dossier in
response to our article on Capquest is very
full & we shall be handing it to the
relevant authorities. Now for the second
time the BCW Group plc are doing the same
through their Buchanan Clark + Wells in
Stratford upon Avon, calling themselves "The
Telegramme Company". Now as you will see
below Cabot Financial (Europe) Ltd are trying
the same ruse.
REPORT THEM ALL UNTIL THEY ARE STRUCK OFF THIS
IS A STING and an offence as they
are pretending to be something they
are not.
- if this is tried on you report
them immediately to the local
standards authority in Hampshire,
Glagow and Warwickshire or

NAMED
&
SHAMED - The Companies:
ACTION
: GET Michael
Daniels, Joseph Arthur Dlutowski,
Paul Mcquilkin and Mark
Andrew Brunault, The Directors of Capquest,
ARRESTED FOR HARRASSMENT
under PROTECTION
FROM HARASSMENT ACT 1997. This is a
CRIMINAL Act which can lead to 6 months
imprisonment and/or a level 5 fine.
We are also disgusted by a letter that CAPQUEST DEBT RECOVERY LIMITED are sending out entitled "Letter Before Action" which they are intimidating debtors with. The letter is published below as many readers have been touch with us about this harassment. In fact we are receiving so many complaints about these people which we are forwarding to the Office of Fair Trading. Anyone receiving one should either ignore it or respond by saying that they will go to court. In court one should get disclosure of the amount that Cap-Quest payed for the debt ( Usually a small % of the overall debt) and then offer that amount plus reasonable costs as proscribed by the CONSUMER CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1999 to be paid over a long period. The courts are usually sympathetic to the debtor. If you have received a letter like the one below it should be disclosed to the court. MAKE SURE THAT YOU GO TO COURT- AND ENSURE THAT THE JUDGEMENT IS IN YOUR FAVOUR. The contents of the letter below are usually only applicable if you do not go to court & defend. They also harass people on the telephone- be warned if you get a call and it shows 0207 663 6606 IT IS CAPQUEST SO IGNORE THEM. They have started to call us so we have re-directed all calls from that number straight to the authorities

"Founded
in
1983 by a 23-year-old entrepreneur, BCW Group,
the UK’s leading corporate debt collection and
credit management company, has a culture of hard
work yet avoids undue stress. Only 22% of staff
say they are under so much pressure they cannot
concentrate, the 11th-best score in our survey.
A good giggle at work makes many staff feel good
about their jobs: 85% say they have a laugh with
their team-mates.
Since September 2002 staff numbers have increased by 46% and last year BCW Group was voted the fastest-growing organisation in the financial and business services sector in the UK’s Hot 100.The company, set up by* Paul Fraser, the managing director, has a head office in Glasgow and outposts in Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin. Salaries are reviewed twice a year and 63% of staff believe they are paid fairly for their responsibilities. Regular bonuses have been abandoned in preference to raising pay across the board, and a collections adviser can expect to earn an average of £13,500. The company offers its employees an average of 50 hours’ skills training each year, according to job level, with assessments every six months to determine training needs. One-third of staff at BCW Group are entitled to performance-related pay, most recently between £1,000 and £2,000. Everyone working for the company is given life insurance and private healthcare, which includes their spouse; 20% have cover for their children as well. Services on site for UK workers include snacks, showers, legal advice, financial advice, clubs, immunisations and an optician. Small prizes are given for attendance based on a points system and good ideas are rewarded on a sliding scale from a bottle of champagne for the idea of the month, to a week in the company villa for the idea of the year. Free fruit is provided daily for all staff and there are chill-out areas where meals can be enjoyed in comfort.The hard-working but relaxed atmosphere rarely interferes with the employees’ home life; just 27% say work gets in the way of their family responsibilities and seven out of 10 say they are happy with the balance between work and home." WE
ARE GLAD THEY DO SO WELL BUT AT WHOSE
EXPENSE?
Staff
at Glasgow based credit management
specialist Buchanan Clark & Wells are
looking out their passports after the
company splashed out $250,000 on a luxury
villa in Orlando, Florida, just minutes away
from Disney World. And
the chance of a holiday of a lifetime has
proved so popular among BCW's 100plus
employees that *managing director Paul
Fraser is considering buying another
villa next year. "We are
always looking for different ways of
rewarding our staff for their hard work and
this will allow them to travel to one of the
world's premier holiday destinations at a
fraction of the normal cost", he said."We
have only just announced this and already
our staff have snapped up all bar seven
weeks of this year and over a quarter of
next year has gone too

still
they
come- abusing the law -Thinking they are a sting
operation. There is a company called CABOT FINANCIAL
(Europe) LTD, of PO Box 241, West Malling, Kent ME19
4NA. Tel: 0845 0700116 - their main operation it
appears is to buy up outstanding debts from other
banks and credit cards and then try their expertise in
getting an agreement from the unsuspecting debtor. We
have tried to negotiate with them but they won't go
under 50p in £ ( Despite the fact they paid a fraction
of that to purchase the debt). Our advice is not to
negotiate with them ( They are not your friends) but
go straight to court and get disclosure of how much
they paid for your debt- then leave it to the judge to
decide. Believe us you will come out far better.
Remember under the CONSUMER
CONTRACT REGULATIONS 1999 they will have to prove that the amount of work done is commensurate with the difference between the purchase cost of the debt and the amount they are trying to collect. Now, of course, like the two companies mentioned above they are purporting to be The Message Service Ltd, Registered Offices at Glebe House, 2 Clifton Road, Rugby CV21 3PX. (Do not respond to messages from them). THIS
IS A STING and an offence as they are
pretending to be something they are
not.
- if this is tried on you report them
immediately to the local standards
authority in Kent and /
or Warwickshire or

Ally Soper was the hero of UK Comics between 1880 and 1920 when it was GREAT Britain. We have revitalised him to be the custodian of our British Way of Life. He shows the anomolies of Politically Correct Britain. NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT Do you know that you cannot claim on a credit Card Insurance on HBOS if you have to give up work to care for a Same-Sex partner ? POLITICALLY CORRECT If Islamic fundermentalists believe so much in Islamic law in Great Britain shouldn't they be judged and punished by that law for crimes commited in Great Britain ? A LOT OF BALLS Maybe it is best to send the Policeman, who confiscated a Cricket Ball at Baker Street Station on the grounds that it was a dangerous weapon, to Australia to confiscate the ball used by Shayne Warne. |

This letter is a typical example of a Company acting as Debt Collectors masquerading as Bailiffs. They may well be Bailiffs but in this case they have no authority but to request an alleged debt. There has been no Court order given. We have written to : David Birkhead, Group Managing Director of Grosvenor Legal Services Limited, to explain his company's representation. We shall, of course, publish his response. Have you received such letters?

Debt
collectors
go empty-handed
20/04/2005as paying off debts get harder The
Credit Services Association (CSA), which
represents the UK debt collection industry, has
today revealed a significant fall in the money
they collected in the first quarter of 2005 -
suggesting that people are finding it harder than
ever to pay off their debts. CSA members have
reported that turnover was down by as much as ten
per cent (year-on-year and seasonally adjusted) in
the first part of this year.
The news comes despite the fact that the UK debt mountain is higher than ever, with the amount of debt passed to CSA members to recover now exceeding £5 billion, comprising 20 million cases. "With instructions to collect permanently on the rise, you would expect the amount of monies collected to rise commensurately," said Scott Soutar, president of the CSA. "This is not happening. Despite encouraging and assisting the customer into finding solutions to financial problems, debt collectors are finding it increasingly difficult to collect, and consumers are finding it increasingly difficult to pay." According to CSA figures, more than six million households in the UK are now believed to be in debt, owing an average of 118 per cent of income - an increase of more than a quarter (28 per cent) on a decade ago. |

POLITICAL
CORRECTNESS HAS BEEN IGNORED BY MANY COMPANIES
AS ILLUSTRATED ABOVE
The following was written on www.firstfoot.com There has been much outrage in the Scottish broadsheets recently about the membership policies of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers who hosted the British Open golf tournament at Muirfield golf course in East Lothian. Apparently, these terrific chaps have a far-sighted way of dealing with members who are other than male, white, anglo-saxon and rich. FirstFoot takes some liberties in the paraphrasing, but basically the rule reads: If ye dinnae huv a white willie an' a big fat wallet, then fuck aff, yer no getting in an' ye cannae play oan wurr golf course eether. Naw, dinnae send us any questions, jist fuck aff. FirstFoot applauds such progressive thinking in this age of increasing liberalisation. However, we would suggest that the following rules should also apply:
FirstFoot would like to see
a new Bill in the Scottish Parliament making all
Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers golf courses
public parks. The Bill would also allow for the
running of free busses from all Scottish urban
housing estates.
Cannabis
cafes
would
be allowed and help centres for gay one-legged
lesbians would be opened. Political
correctness was devised by ignorant people
who do not understand Adjectives. For an
adjective is a descriptive word which
illuminates a noun. Therefore such
adjectives as coloured, fat, thin,
Scottish, Irish, Jewish, Catholic etc etc
are virtually legislated against. However
in their place swear words have become
everyday occurance. If
this is progress then let's be retrograde.
We were pleased to visit a toy shop the
other day and see the return of the Golly.
The earliest Golliwog (or
Golliwogg as he was originally called) is the hero in
books of verse written by Bertha Upton in the 1890s,
and illustrated by her daughter Florence. The mother
and daughter worked together on twelve illustrated
books, all featuring the gallant little character and
his adventures travelling to such exotic destinations
as Africa and the North Pole, accompanied by his
friends, the Dutch Dolls.Though the original Golliwog
character was a kindly fellow always lending a hand to
those in trouble, later authors portrayed him very
differently. Over the years he became a rascal, was
often up to no good, and even portrayed as a mean
spirited character. In 1910, Golly became a mascot for Robertson's jam, and millions of Golly pins--the Cracker Jack prizes of the British Commonwealth--were collected, traded, and hoarded by jam-addled Brits everywhere. [They still are. This snap is just a fraction of the collection at gollycorner.co.uk.] Robertson's only retired Golly in 2001. Consequently his reputation slid and because of his poor reputation and dark colour, he began to be considered "politically incorrect". The "politically correct" reference is now "Golly". During the past few years, possibly because of the centennial of the creation of the Golliwog, he has again become popular, this time not with children so much as adult collectors and Golly artists.And yet the marmalade-n-pin thing has to have created a lot of non-racially tinged associations of childhood nostalgia, too. Let's hope he will soon return to our jam jars as a much loved and revered member of Britain's multinational community.......What is your
opinion? Then
the following were not politically correct.
Churchill smoked cigars, Wilson smoked a pipe,
Walter Rayleigh introduced tobacco (wacky-baccy)
and Tommy Cooper wore a fez.
