    • 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.

Hi all, sorry to trouble you again.

 

Good news is that the CCJ against me has been set aside....:whoo:

 

Bad news is that the claimants have until september to re-instate the case if they can find the info iv requested.

 

The Confusing news - the judge refused the claimants request for costs but they said it was a bit unfair that I had not handed in a preliminary defence (which I thought I had - ststing that there was no documentation or proof to support their claim).

So.....the judge has given me 3 weeks to hand in a draft/preliminary defence. Problem is the only documents I have from the claimant are those pertaining to the hearing to set aside.

 

Since I never received the POC in the first place I feel like im trying to defend against thin air. I tried to point out that I find this an almost indefensable position as I am unsure to what i am writing a defence to.

 

As far as I can tell I need to do tthe following but am unsure if this is the right thing to do, Any comments or assisstance would be greatkly appreciated.

 

- "Draft order for Directions" ie- all the documents, CCA, Notices/Deeds of assignment/default and of course.....the POC (this is the stickler)

-"Draft defence" - this is the most confusing aspect for me. Most defences I have looked at are in response to some POC......which I have never received and so surely I need a copy of that before hand.??? advice pls

- "N150 Allocation questionaire" - only seen a couple of examples and not sure if its relevant to this case but from what iv read of them they seem to help clear up confusion and allow for the case to be switched to small claims/fast track.

 

Still new to this but trying my best, lol. My previous threads have been long winded (generally written in a state of stress) so I am trying to be as concise as possible this time. A lot of info on the case can be seen in my previous threads, though they were posted with regards to setting aside the aforesaid CCJ.

 

What I think I understand is that the Judge has asked for the defence i WOULD HAVE made if id been around for the original claim.

 

What I dont understand is how Im supposed to do this when he knows I never received the original POC...??

 

I have 3 weeks to hand this in, and then the claimants have until september to reinstate the claim. What i dont want to do is give them a defence which tells them everything (without an omission on my part which could get me into trouble) so they can fit a claim around it.

 

What is worrying me is that I only have 3 weeks.......but SAR etc can takke up to 40 days.

 

Iv taken some holiday from work so will be trying to get this sorted in the next week or so.

 

Any advice is welcome. Thanks

ok......just called the court and the lady informed me over the phone that she cant locate a claim form or any POC.

She advised that I call the claimants and request they send me the POC........however, whats the likelyhood of the claimants simply saying that they never received a call requesting the POC?

 

Is this an example of when the draft order can be used? and Am I allowed to make one or would it need to be made by the judge?
