    • Hi. Could you post up what they've sent please so we can see what the charge is? Cover up your name and address and their reference number. HB
    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above

    • 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.

hello all ..

 

ill try to keep this brief , iv typed this leter 3 times now but keep timing out or something whe i try to send it ,so ill send this bit now to se if it goes through ..

 

ok good it worked !

 

now heres my long story ..

 

 

i bought a house in 04 , that was originally part of a university research site ,4 houses and about 9 units in a leafy green park situation .the houses get thier electricity from the site distribution room ,and we pay 9.5 pence per unit to the site owner /distributor(sod).

 

5 weeks ago ,a letter arrived telling me i would be cut off ,the other 4 houses got the same .upon calling the SSE i was told that the sod had not paid his bill and it was 8k ..so cut off was iminent .this type of convo went on with sse for a couple of weeks ,with definate statements from them that we would all be cuttoff on that day or the next ,on the last call i assertained that there has never been a court order so it was all lies anyway ,they dont seem to call me anymore ?

 

4 weeks ago a couple of vans turned up unmarked ,and raced around and intimidated one of the companies to the pount of giving them 4k towards the bill.

so ,to continue , i got a site survey organised and the sod and sparks came ,and they sent the quote to the sod 10k for the site conversion to seb meters ,and 900 per house .we then recieved a demand for 900 each from the sod ,with no explanation as to any other costs and so on ,and a general feeling that he should pay it since its his responsability to supply us .

 

 

things went quiet for a while , the sod persued the ombudsman about how unfair and incorrect he felt a 4k bill per month was for 6 units and 4 houses ,and i wrote to my mp cameron and got a letter from the ceo of sse saying he would do all they could to avoid cutting up off ,and that we cant use the existing cables for the meters from sse cos they arent sure what they are and it isnt 'policy',also that ishould take up any problems i have with the sod .

 

no reply had been sent by any of the houses to the demand for 900.

 

then last thursday , i recieved a demand for 500, to contribute to the 7500 he was trying to raise to give to the sse,towards his now 11k debt . i replied with a picture of my meter ,a calc at 9.5ppu and vat and a cheque for 90 odd quid which brought me up to date .i got back by e mail a demand for a rate of 20 ppu!

since i live on my own ,on an income of about 1200 a year ,and my savings which are nearly all gone ,and have chronic fatigue sindrome for which iv had a course of hospital therapy ,you can imagine this was a bit gut wrenchingly anxiety inducing ,you know that feeling when the floor goes up and down?

anyrdup ..i seem to have somehow got hold of a bill similar (but obviously in no way the same as )the sods bill ,and wondered how do i work out the proper pence per unit i should pay ?

heres the bill..

Recorded MD unrestricted 71.36

M4 LV Standard Demand

 

-------------------------------------------------- Units Rate (pence)

Weekday peak energy Dec & Jan 2334.7 -------------17.3300

Weekday energy Dec & Jan 9443.1 ------------------12.5300

Night energy 5850.9--------------------------------- 9.0400

Other times energy 7063.4 --------------------------11.7600

Available capacity 1st block 180-------------------- 106.0000

Maximum demand 71.36----------------------------- 810.0000

Standing charge 86.21

Miscellaneous charges 43.33

CCL on 24692.1 units at 0.4560p 112.59

 

 

 

since im on mostly nights and weekends ,should i be charged 9.04 and 11.76 ppu ?

 

 

incidentally when i bought the house i got my solicitor to get a letter from the sod office to say they would supply me with electricity at the 'standard rate 'plus standing charge ,until a seb meter is installed .. i never have been charged a standing charge , so elected to pay 17.5% vat just to cover any come backs , but on the occasion ,after i found my neighbours were only paying 5 %, i did the same .. i really dont know what 'standard rate' means though or if that document has any real power .

 

thanks for bearing with trhis rather dissjointed account.

 

regards

robert (in bed sore throat tchah!))
