    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

Here's another Welcome Finance issue.

 

We took out a loan in July 2007 for £14k, payable for 168 months (14 yrs) so ending in 2021.

 

The monthly payments were £273 now risen to £320,

by my calulations that's £45484 minimum to pay back.

 

Since then I've had late payment fees and interests added on at crazy amounts where i was last quoted by one of their agents that there is still £19000 to pay the debt off.

 

I have a PPI claim with them going through the FSCS and its come up that the Welcome loan was refinanced by Bright Finance in 2007,

 

i know nothing about this and have no record of this happening.

I'm still in contact with Welcome and not Bright so how can this be redeemed??

 

I'm very tempted to stop payments but i belive the loan may be secured on the house.

 

can you suggest my next moves please as i see Welcome finance are causing a lot of stess and grief to others

 

Regards

Sar time too

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

RE WELCOME FINANCE ISSUES,

 

I seem to be better off than most re Welcome loans.

 

Successfully reclaimed a chunk of PPI 2 years ago using a Debt management company who have since stopped doing debt management.

 

Cutting long story short

 

 

about 5 months ago I received a letter telling me that that anything I owed to Welcome (according to last figures I had they claimed around £1400) was being written off and infact I was due £848 with interest due to over charging,

 

however this was being dealt with by some administration company.

 

3 weeks ago received a form on Welcome stationary for me to sign and return accepting the rebate.

 

Not received said rebate as yet, however fingers crossed.

  • 3 weeks later...

I've just received £625 from the FCSC for PPI,

how ever still paying huge amounts of interest on the original loan which I feel are a con.

 

 

I refused to pay one months money while this was being looked into

and have found out that £180 interest has been added to the loan.

 

 

Surely this is not allowed.

 

 

Who could I contact to seek legal advice on this?
