    • Yes, but the process starts here... https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/what-to-expect/ This involves making a complaint to GS first before approaching ICO. However, at the time of the complaint, I beleive we'd advise the complainant to ask for some compensation and take it from there. @FTMDave?? No, I meant this forum, The Consumer Action Group, where you're posting right now.😄 (We're in the slow process of rebranding as The National Consumer Service.)
    • And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court. 
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021.   npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279.   The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills.   I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this.   EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.    I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.

    • 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.

There should be a section on the registration document (V5) which allows you to detail the change and then you send it back to DVLA. They will then send out a new V5 with the updated information on it.

How do I tell DVLA I have converted my car to run on LPG?

 

Does an LPG conversion reduce road tax?

 

Just done my Astra last month.

 

In section 7 write "LPG" in Type of Fuel and also write "Alternative Fuel" in Taxation Class.

 

Take your V5 to your local DVLA office along with your current tax disk and insurance docs. They will fill in the form they need for DVLA and give you a new tax disk there and then.

 

There is a reduction in the road tax. For my Astra (155 G/Km) the reduction was £20/yr (pro rata) which is refunded by cheque from DVLA. The even bigger saving though for people who live/work near London is that you will become exempt from the conjestion charge of £8 per day! Unfortuneatly I live in Sunderland and haven't been to London for about 20 years so don't get that saving.

 

edit

Just checked my new V5 and noticed that although "LPG" was acceptable on my changes section, they actually write "Gas Bi-Fuel" on the new V5 as Type of Fuel:(

Thanks , I'll get that done.

 

And don't forget that all important document; your official LPG conversion certificate from the approved LPGA converter because they are not going to take your word for it that you have had it done! :D

Just a quick thanks to all who helped. I'm new to driving on LPG autogas, its really does save a fortune at the pumps! £23.50 for a full tank when I'm used to paying £70. All docs and certificates on their Way to DVLA, but I'll be surprised if I receive a cheque for the car tax rebate. I only renewed the tax 1 year in September.

I would have recommended a personal visit to your local DVLA office if that was practical as they helped me fill in the forms and get everything right. New disk was handed straight to me.

 

Mine was a new car, converted immediately, but it was about a month and a half before I found time to sort out the DVLA forms. My tax reduction was £20/yr and I received a cheque back within about 3 weeks for £16.67 which covers 10 months reduced tax, so they do refund it at the correct rate.

 

As I said earlier, the real big saving for those near London can be as much as £40 per week as LPG cars do not pay the congestion charge. Filling a tank is far cheaper as you say, but be aware your mpg will be reduced also, so the saving isn't quite as big as it first appears. My mpg went down from about 28mpg to 22mpg
