    • No I have not. I will probably do that
    • Based on ECP's previous, what will definitely happen is this. They will send more idiotic letters. After they will send a Letter of Claim, and it is essential that your brother replies at this point to this to show them he would be big trouble in court. Next it is highly likely (but not certain) that they will crawl back under their stone and that will be the end of the matter. The slight worry is that if they do do court it will seem a likely story to a judge that your brother has no connection to the ticket, when it was him who appealed and replied to the Letter of Claim.  Indeed I think it would seem the lot of you were playing games with ECP and with the court by getting unconnected people involved and then later deny they were involved. So be aware there is that slight risk. You talked about "a mess" in your first post, and you weren't wrong. Someone hires a car and gets a ticket.  There is an appeal.  Who appeals, the hirer?  No, the hirer's mate's son.  Obvious! There is an approach for help to a consumer website.  By the hirer?  No, by the hirer's mate's son's brother! This is so damn silly and totally avoidable. Anyway, it seems the decision has been made for your brother to carry the can so whatever consequences will ensue will ensue. 
    • 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.

Installed Win 10 over 8.1 on a laptop.

 

Seemed to install well - but soon got error messages about missing MVSCR100.dll file. Outlook could not send emails - although, strangely it could send test message correctly - but nothing else.

 

Email links would not open in my default FF browser.

In the end, the broken email problem persuaded me to revert to 8.1.

Now everything is working perfectly again.

 

A shame, because it looked very nice and seemed to be quick

Thought I recognised that.

Google it Bankfodder - its been an issue since 64bit implementations of Windows

“This is specifically not allowed. Mr. Mansour used to be a Cabinet Minister in Egypt, he has given the Tories a huge amount of money, and immediately gets a knighthood.

That seems straightforwardly corrupt.  Shouldn’t they both be in jail?”

Thanks for this. I did that. Downloaded the 64bit version and it refused to install because there was a newer version already installed.

You may need to install the 32 bit version Bankfodder - that occurred repeatedly with 64 bit windows 7 and 32 bit apps needing 32 bit runtimes

(I Haven't touched Windows 10 yet and probably won't)

Well I'll wait until Win 10 is more mature and also I'll try it on a spare computer. At the moment I'm away and I'm depending completely on my laptop.

Probably a bit crazy to have tried it anyway before I got back.

lol - partition the lappy HDD if only one drive and dual boot - I do.

 

(to be accurate I multi-boot to separate HDD's in the laptop - which has 3 - it takes 2 and I replaced the DVD with another hdd)

I always set up my installs on memory sticks, although I can drop my bluray back in if needed, but be aware that problems like that Bankfodder is experiencing has happened (and that one specifically) on all 'early release' versions of windows since vista and have often only been resolved by a clean install even when the releases have become 'stable'.

 

I test on my laptop rather than my main machine at home which is a server for a number of things.

 

I always test a clean install of a new OS on a separate partition/drive and migrate apps from my working installation to the new one. Saves the risk of migrating stuff I don't need or want, and usually doesn't end up being any more effort in the longer term - only issue is sometimes drivers which might work if an upgrade is performed, but I'd rather know if there are potential issues early.

You should be getting your copy of Windows 10 from here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

The download tool will automatically set up a usb boot stick, (or dvd), ready for you to upgrade over 8.1

 

Using the above link, you don't have to know the version.

 

You can save it to a stick or a dvd or better still, just click on 'update this computer now' and it will do everything automatically.

 

You can have it wipe everything and just install windows 10 or leave your files and program and install.

 

The best and most sensible way is to let it wipe all and do a nice clean install of just windows and when it is complete, make a recovery USB stick of the OS so should anything go wrong, you can just insert the stick and get back to the original state.

 

Remember it's only free for 12 months, so should anything go wrong after that time, then it's either purchase a copy or reinstall your older OS ie 7 or 8.

You are The Man!!!

 

Thank you very much. It was exactly the problem and exactly the solution.

 

There are other niggling error messages but as long as the email is working, I can live with it and try to nail the rest one-by-one.

 

I'll post up the other messages later and maybe you or others might come up with a solution.

 

What an amazing forum this is :-D:madgrin:

OK - two more error messages. They seem to be related because they both involve missing MSV??100.dll files

 

One of them relates to ColorUService.exe - missing MSVCP100.dll

 

The second relates to Cs6Servicemanager.exe - missing MSVCR100.dll

 

I don't know what coloruservice is but I'll google it in a minute.

 

CS6 must refer to adobe but as far as I can see, nothing is broken

I didn't. I don't leave photos and things of value on the computer, it's silly, the hard drive can go wrong at any time. I save my precious things to dvd and an external server class hard drive.

 

When I installed Windows 10, I did it as a completely fresh update wiping out everything so I have a computer that is how it would have left the factory. I then made a USB stick with an OS recovery, (all done my Windows 10, no need to know anything), so now should anything go wrong in future, I just recover from the usb stick and am back to square one.

Yes I had to reinstall my Office suite and set up my email again, but that's a small price to pay for a nice fresh and fast computer.

A lot of minor issues with Win10 can be resolved by opening device manager and updating all of the drivers once the install and updates are done. Once you have done all of this then you will need to reinstall some of the patches from your software suppliers or your hardware suppliers.

 

 

Then once you have done all of this go to system then clean up the C: drive to clear up all the nasty left over install, including system restore, the defrag the drive run update once more then once all is sweet as a nut then defrag your registry finally then and only then make your system recovery media for reinstall should you need it. The reason for this method will save you having to re-do all the extra hard-work you have already done...

Well my second attempt at Windows 10 has resulted in huge wifi problems with connections dropping out all over the place. It is almost unusable - so it's back to Windows 8.1 again.

 

Anyone got any suggestions?

With Wi-Fi you will need a good enabled router and have it situated in the right place, this can be done by using a mobile as a guide to the best place to put your router. If you can it may pay your to get hold of a good quality Wi-Fi extender like the WNDA3200 or the Belkin alternative
