    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • 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.
    • 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?
    • 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. 
    • 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!...

    • 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.

Probably best to keep it as a PDF DX then only members can view.

 

You have a few issues of switching between section 77 and then 78...loans are section 77...remove all references to section 78.

 

Not sure what the following means....?

 

Response to the Defence

Indebtedness to the Claimant

12 Acknowledged

 

 

22 - 23 Noted but denied. The documentation received appears to be a selection of templates with

dates added to pa out there bundle...should state pad.

 

Apart from that I couldn't have drafted it any better...although it does look familiar :wink:

 

Dont forget your headers and date your statement of truth.

Cheers guys - finding the right places to insert your original paragraph was the toughest challenge :)

 

Re Section 77/77 - the Shoosmiths doc references section 78 requests specifically in 3 places that I can spot. Do I need to address that?

 

12 Acknowledged - was in response to the paragraph "12 It is noted the Defendant neither admits nor denies he is indebted to the claimant"

This is a loan......section 78 is for credit cards.

You could slot the following in after your opening paragraph.....see if the judge picks up on it.?

 

It is noted that the case handler responsible for the draft of the claimants witness statement confirms that the evidence from his/her own knowledge derived from his/her conduct of this action and from documentation supplied to him/her from the claimant.It will be expected that this person will be in attendance to orally give this evidence or give notice pursuant to Section 2 of The Civil Evidence Act 1995.

and CPR33.2 (b) giving the reason why the witness is not in attendance.

 

The rest is okay

Hi all - Court date tomorrow. I've been rereading every thread I had bookmarked that you guys have sent me (Andy's advice to Potman here has been invaluable in understanding the deficiencies of their paperwork for the last 5 years) and ensuring that I have a clear head as to my arguments. Bit of a step into the unknown for me, but thanks to you guys I'm as prepared as I could be.

Hi guys,

 

Just out of court and the result is it's been adjourned for 56 days.

 

The judge's first question was "Why has this been left for 4 years?" and the solicitor had no good answer to that.

The judge also asked why they had submitted both a request that the stay be lifted AND an application for summary judgement at the same time.

He said it appeared quite 'arrogant' for them to proceed on this basis.

 

In all I spoke about twice as the judge was fairly insistent that the case made was severely lacking on the claimant's side and that it supported my point about them trying to avoid the statute barred clock.

 

He decided to adjourn for 56 days to give them the opportunity to make a compelling reason why the stay should be lifted, before any further proceedings are forthcoming.

 

He then turned to me and said that while he understood my point on reconstituted documentation, courts have in the past sometimes accepted that there is just no original paperwork and given leeway, so if it goes forward with a judge in that mindset "It will be curtains for you"

 

As we were leaving, the solicitor asked if I could mail them a copy of my witness statement and then said he'll discuss with his firm and they'll make a decision about next steps - and that they may not proceed.

 

So not out of the woods yet but it all sounds positive.

 

Once again thank you to AndyOrch, DX100uk and the gang for armouring me for today.

Greatly appreciated fellas.

Obviously the Judge has taken time in view of his comments to actually read your statement....and also the point of their application for SJ/SO.

 

Wouldn't you think the Solicitor would already have a copy of the statement in preparation for the hearing...If you have already served one I wouldn't send another.

 

Very positive LS

 

Well done

I wouldn't say I 'enjoyed it' :lol: but it was definitely not as bad as I'd feared and actually far more interesting hearing the arguments from both the judge and the solicitor
