    • 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.

Wait and see what Moorcroft send.

 

How old is the debt, when was the last payment made?

 

It would be a good idea to check your credit reference files.

Has this always been a credit card or was it a storecard that was converted to a credit card .

 

If so did you sign anything, get an agreement?

 

Depending on the answers to the Brigs questions you could send a CCA request .

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

It's a loan not credit card. Last payment made to it was 2 months ago. Should I wait until Moorcroft write to me or send a cca request?

Hi

Ok . I would wait until you get a letter from moorcrap. I assume the loan was taken out after April 2007 ?

 

Either way once you have something from moorcrap send a S77 request.

 

Have you received a default notice?

I think loan was originally taken prior to April 2007. Does that make a difference?

Have you checked credit reference files, with Moorcroft involved it would be a wise move (for reasons I can't go into here).

 

Pre April 2007 the original agreement or a proper copy will be needed to enforce the debt,

Send off the CCA request

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387435-CCA-Request-Consumer-Credit-Act-1974

 

If Moorcroft are acting as agents then send it to M&S but let moorcroft know you have sent them the CCA request.

You could send it to moorcroft but they may return it to you and tell you to send it to M&S

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Cca letter to M&S on 6th by recorded delivery. They have cashed £1 cheque on 9th dec. what letter do I send as no reply from them within 12+2. Emailed Moorcroft and told them I'm in dispute. They've written back saying they're going to speak to M&S and take no action in the meantime

Received letter from M&S today recoded delivery. There are 4 sheets.

Sheet 1. Covering letter saying sheets 2,3&4 comply with cca

Sheet 2 - a reconstituted copy of application/agreement form. This is blank where my signature should be. Also loan was from spring 2004 however address on reconstituted copy is one I did not move to until end 2009. Also there is no agreement date or term in months or interest rate just an interest amount, monthly instalments are stated as £0.00

Sheet 3 - standard copy of terms and conditions

Sheet 4 - statement of transactions

 

To my untrained eye the reconstituted agreement is not satisfactory as it has wrong address, no interest rate, monthly oayment of £0.00 and does not bear my signature. Also agreement date is blank as is date below scanned M&S official signature.

 

Your advice re reply would be much appreciated.

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..

Just two points . You need to change the S78(6) to S77(4)

 

 

The other point is that it states they should have sent a full statement of account which isn't strictly true. I would edit the letter slightly as you have received documents they just didn't comply

 

Dear Sirs

 

ACCOUNT NO: XXXXXX

 

Your attention is drawn to the fact that this account is subject to a serious dispute. On XX/XX/XX, I requested that [ORIGINAL CREDITOR] supply me a copy of the credit agreement covering this account pursuant to the Consumer Credit Act 1974 section 77. To date [ORIGINAL CREDITOR] have failed to comply with my request. Without production of the said agreement I am unable to assess if I am indeed liable for any alleged debt to [ORIGINAL CREDITOR] , nor does it give me any chance to evaluate whether any original agreement was ‘properly executed’ as required by the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

In line with recent OFT Guidance surrounding Unenforceability, I presume you're aware that the OFT has stipulated the following;

Sections 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 outline the information creditors must provide to debtors under fixed-term, running account & Hire Agreements. Under these sections a debtor can pay £1 to get:

a copy of their agreement

copies of some of the other documents mentioned in their agreement

a statement of account.

If this information is not provided within 12 working days the debt becomes unenforceable. This means a creditor cannot:

make the debtor pay the debt before they're supposed to

get a court judgment against the debtor

As this account is clearly unenforceable, I expect you to write back and confirm that no further action will be taken and that the account is now closed and no further correspondence will take place. I require that you clarify your position on this point as failure to do so, even by omission or lack of a response, will be regarded as an attempt to deliberately misrepresent or conceal the legal position regarding this matter to which an appropriate complaint will be made to the OFT.

Consequently, any legal action you pursue will not only be fully and vigorously defended, it will also be averred as both unlawful and vexatious. As such I respectfully suggest that this account is returned to the original creditor for immediate resolution prior to my seeking legal advice; due to the fact you cannot lawfully pursue any enforcement activities as the account was already in dispute at the time you became involved.

Yours faithfully,

They have today sent the details as described in the longer post above. The failure to comply letter seems to be for non receipt of the forms. How do I dispute the wrong address please? Also the loan was taken in Spring 2004 do they have to supply me with a form bearing my signature because if when the facility was in 2004? As always thank you in advance.

Do I say it does not comply as the address is incorrect?

Do not tell them what is wrong , just that they have not complied with the CCA request . You could if you want say something like , I would refer you to Carey v HSBC Bank Plc [2009] EWHC 3417 (QB) (23 December 2009) where HHJ Waksman detailed what was required.

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .

Thank you. I assume it is ok to alter the letter slightly to reflect it is to M&S themselves not Moorcroft.

Sorry I should add , they do not need to supply a signature on a CCA request but it should be a TRUE copy of what you WOULD have signed. As the address is wrong it clearly isn't..but why tell them that?

 

As for actual enforcement they will probably need to supply a copy of the original agreement. I think they are pretty stuffed

Any opinion I give is from personal experience .
