    • Doc 04-19-2024 11-01-51-merged-compressed.pdf good morning.    9 pages attached.    thank you  UCM
    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk 
    • Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious  An update - - I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)   - I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai)  - IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all. - i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

    • 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.

It gets better, if I choose all parties to choose from:

 

green 72%

libdem 61%

BNP :shock: 48%

UKIP 43%

Labour 42%

Con: 38%

 

The fact that BNP and UKIP should score so high proves conclusively that this test is a crock!!! :razz:

Hello Rooster,

 

I don't know your circumstances, but if you contact your local candidate they should be able to offer assistance in this.

Well mine comes out with Conservatives first, Lib Dems not too far behind and Labour in 3rd. I didn't pick any other parties.

Before you criticise another man you should first walk a mile in his shoes. Then, when you criticise him, you'll be a mile away and he won't have any shoes on.

 

Don't get me confused with somebody knowledgeable by all those green blobs. I got most of them by making people laugh.

It's not only the problem of getting there. Once there, it's a matter of getting from the road to the actual station which is tucked away in the middle of a school. There's nowhere along that route to sit down and rest my leg.

Apart from that, the swollen foot prevents me from getting my shoes on. I'd look a right divvy, hobbling along in my slippers. :lol:

 

Anyway, I'm confident that my choice of party will win, whether I vote or not!

I'm Plaid Cymru but have Labour and Green Party veiws as well.

 

Plaid Cymru will DEFINITELY not be getting my vote. Mind you, that could be because they don't have candidates in Dorset. Now why is that? ....

Was watching the riots in Greece on TV today-The people are angry at the ultimatums.

One woman said-"We are being asked to take a 30% cut in our wages-yet our country is spending millions on 2 new Warships from France"...why do we need Warships when we cant afford to live ?

 

She makes a good point.

 

France of course is the biggest exporter of weapons so will obv want to see Greece survive so they get their money.

 

Germany meanwhile says that Greece should comply with the IMF package or leave the EU-but its not so simple.

 

When the EU's membership was only 8 or 9 then things were a little different-and hop long did it take Italy to get membership ?

The Mafia had to abandon their guns and come to the table-much the same as happened with Adams and McGuinness.

 

We have UKIP and the BNP saying that we are better out of Europe-yet we still have our Pound and in spite of that suffer the same as the rest.

 

We would do better out of Europe if we still had a good manufacturing base and did not rely on China-but no one can complain that a set of knife and forks from China cost a fiver less than those made in Sheffield.

 

Our Government paid Nissan millions in grants to build a factory in the North East-they allowed the Indians to get Jaguar Landrover for a song,our British Mini to go to BMW and Rolls and Bentley to go to VW and BMW.

Our heritage.

Our manufacturing base has gone-ok replaced by IT but we dont even have a look in there-LG was given millions in grants from the GOV to open a factory in Wales !

 

We have trained Doctors and nurses to people from abroad at a cost of millions-only to see them leave the UK for better wages later.

 

Whichever party or leader gets in-is unlikely to change much-we are stuck with Europe and if we do pull out then we would prob be worse off in the long run.

 

Chinas economy grows by the minute-and props up the US debt mountain of trillions-Russia s cosying up to China and supplying them with millions of tons of wood from its forrests,steel,and Oil.

 

Anyone who thinks the recent talks of cutting back on nukes has been a success between Putin and Obama will prob be unaware that Putin has increased defence spending by 800%-builds new subs,re-introduces flights over Europe with the menacing blackjacks,and orders new ships from France-so to hear Clegg talk about scrapping our deterrent which has kept the Russians off limits since the 70s will no doubt be a blessing to Vladimir.

 

Many Eastern Europeans will be praying for a hung result-knowing that the Dollar will prob rise against the £

 

The Poles here in particular since the dollar is still favoured against their currency as it is in Russia and Ukraine.

 

In fact the only problem will come with their flights....if the ash cloud stops Ryan Air or Easyjet cheap flights to Krakow or Warsaw-then they will have to spend a few more nights watching Jeremy Paxman grilling the winner.;)

Ah BUT....if they came under attack-the worlds Mafia and all the dodgy leaders who have dosh there-would have their armies there in no time.

The Swiss know that-they dont need to pay big money on their own defences.
