      Ovo Energy Bill is way too high - faulty smart meter

      By aesmith · Posted

      It you had E7 in the past but have converted to single rate then the meter will still hold the last recorded Night readings. This introduces scope for error when manually reading. If the meter has only ever been used on single rate then there's only one figure that can be taken. For example ours shows "Rate 1" reading and a "Total import" reading, but they both give the sme figure. If it has ever been on E7 the total will be higher, including the retained night reading.

      Advise on debt I currently hold

      By MANUKI12742 · Posted

      okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?

      Ovo Energy Bill is way too high - faulty smart meter

      By Alfy · Posted

      I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share.

      LC Asset/Link/Kearns Claim Form #2 - MBNA CC

      To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...

      No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

This info's quite old I'm not sure if it still works this way :)

 

Green boxes reflect positive feedback and are accumulated when other members give positive feedback.

To be the recipient of a red box means that the member has been given negative feedback.

Negative feedback is only given if there has already been warnings given about negative postings,and they are repeated.

If a member had 3 or 4 green boxes and negative feedback was given,then it would remove one of those green boxes.

But if a member has only 1 green box and attracts negative feedback,then by default it will turn to red.

The easiest way to avoid red boxes,is to take notice of warnings from the site team and comply with site rules.

In this instance it seems that those warnings were not heeded.

 

By default everyone starts with 1 green.

Further ones are accumulated as points levels increase,and hovering over yours will display a message.

 

User Novitiate 0-99 points

User Informative 100 points

User Highly informative 250 points

User Authoritative 600 points

User Highly authoritative 1000 points.

Thanks for the highly authoritative info. No points or prizes in the Bear Garden for those who don't know but the diversity platform is a tonic, that's all you need.

 

BTW is there a point to the points

 

It would be interesting if you could hover on a blob and be guided to the post to which it relates.

What are grey blobs given for rep, only seen in your control panel. I understand if it's given in Bear Garden it won't be green but what if the post was on main site.

 

I think you get a Grey blob from newbies, not sure mind I'll see if I can find out :)

That will explain this then. I was reppd on this http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?312954-First-Post-to-say-Hi-and-try-to-understand-Swift-Advances....&p=4264469#post4264469 post 51 funny coincidence about green blobs:madgrin: in the main forum. My scales were clicked on and positive feedback. So it is only Caggers with higher post count who produce a green blob. If a lower poster thinks you've been helpful why is it seen as different to a higher poster?

 

You've started a whole new conversation CD:-D
