    • 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.

Hi jennifer,

 

It sounds as if you have got a standard letter, although there are sometimes slight variations.

 

It would help if you could list the solicitors requests. Quite often, its info the already have, and is nothing to worry about.

 

Have you had anything from the court yet? If not, you will soon, either with a set of directions (instructions) from the judge, or an Allocation Questionaire. Again nothing to worry about, and everything is here to help you complete the forms.

 

Give us a bit more info, and you'll find you'll get lots of really useful help and advice.

First of all what's all the panic for, i think it's just a matter of waiting for a hearing date now, just get the court bundle together and read up on a few threads.

HI, all, thank you all so much for your support.

 

I have sent off the letter re: the chapter 18 being excluded under part 27 today to cobbetts (1st class and recorded delivery, they should have it Monday)! Really wanted to tell them where to go,because it really terrified me (but not anymore, thanks to you lot).

 

Having myself a nice glass of chilled wine now, feeling slightly more assured with the fact that there are thousands of people who have been made to feel really desperate at times by these bullies and we are all doing something about it.

 

Will keep you posted (don't care if they know who I am, (not terrified anymore), this site does such a wonderful job, Thanks again x:)

It think it's extremely important if you are going to court or in court to read up the Library section as there are all sorts of guidance notes and procedures to help you along with your claim. You are after all potentially going to court!?!?

 

If you get enough homework done LM, you won't get terrified because you will be expecting them to defend or them to request your claim be struck out. Get reading, reassure yourself and prepare for what is about to happen. No need in panicking now is there?

Many thanks T4FF, had my defence through from Nottingham today, advising that it was being refered to Walsall, with no AQ.............

 

Do I just wait for Walsall to give me a date now?

Would appreciate any directions

Hi muck...

 

I signed up to this forum months ago, and read up on everything and actually got quite knowledged up ( is that actually a word?? lol ) on the whole situation, but sadly have been too busy to do anything....

Anyway, a few months have passed and now my SAR has been sent.

I am also with the RBOS & will start a new thread in the RBOS section, so we can follow each others cases.

Hope we get them nailed without too much aggro!

 

Regards,

Hi all, quick update ;)

 

Was reading in a different thread about the AQ not being sent out!!!!!!!

 

My case has been sent to Walsall County Court, I was a little confused about the £100 fee that is payable for claims over £1,500!

 

All sorted now, I rang the court and it turns out that Walsall have to send out AQ with their instructions, but other courts may have been told not to. It would also seem that the £100 is still payable on claims over £1,500 even if you don't get an AQ, so make sure you send it ;)

 

If in doubt ask ;)

Hi lady

 

Just wondered if there is anything I should be now be doing in anticipation of a court date

 

You could have a look at the court bundle,

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/33060-basic-court-bundle.html

 

and towards the end of this there are some additional pointers

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/60572-basic-court-bundles.html (it is a different thread)

 

Apart from that, sit back and enjoy the good weather;)

Hi all, just to let you know I've now had a court date of 4th September 2007 @ 10am, it says it should take no longer than 1 hour 30 mins, I'm wondering if they may be doing a few at the same time!

 

I've been looking at the court bundles, still a little confused, but have requested a court buddie, in the hope of getting it right and my case not being struck out.

 

I find it very interesting when reading through other peoples threads, that they have had some form of contact with the bank, I however have not heard a dickybird! Should it be me who makes contact with them?? I have read somewhere about nudge letters, should I be sending them or just do my court bundle and wait?

 

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hi Ladymuck

 

I've been following your thread as I'm not too far behind you. I have recently received a copy of Cobbetts defence and a AQ from my local court which has to be in by the 9th Aug.

 

With reference to one of your previous posts (see below), what was the outcome? Did you make any response or did you just ignore it and wait for a court date?

Hi Kiff,

When you get your court date request a court buddy (mine is great & available to go to court with me)!
