    • 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.

Well a court wont expect anyone to have the odd 24K hanging around to meet their demands...as long as you can prove that you will be able to pay the arrears from here on at a set affordable monthly payment along with your standard monthly payment... it will be suspended.

Thank you

I am pretty nervous but looking at the evidence I have of 20 plus emails asking them for payment arrangement .. sending numerous income/expenditures .. asking since May this year not to have to talk on phone..

I haven’t just ignored them only their calls And asking continually why my mental health has been bad and asking why I haven’t paid and being bullied over the phone is why.

They say that it wasn’t too late and call them but when I did nope they didn’t want to know at all.

I didn’t submit anything other than my reasons for the hearing .

. I did make sure to state my affordability and that i would get everything for the hearing.

They only told me today that they wouldn’t accept payment and so within an hour of that I had done n244 form paid and got a date for two days before eviction.

I have income / exp , job letter , copies of all emails I’ve sent since mY 2018

I need to make my statement concise to the judge can see right away

I have medical notes

Complaint to paragon

And now a complaint to FOS

I have SAR and unfair charges and relationship info from stephensons solicitors but that’s not relevant right now to it is it

Do I have enough.. how do I make things concise so the judge sees my proposal and see paragon haven’t acted correctly but also my affordability.

Last question I promise .

I wasn’t able to take in all my witness statement and evidence etc to go with the n244 forms.

My hearing is at 12noon shall I take it in at 9 ish for the courts to give the judge beforehand.???

Then say so if its relevant

But remember its just a hearing not an exam about the debt make up

 

What you really have never abided by is the use of phonecalls and emails advise we keep giving....

You MUST stop ringing them

And you must stop and block their emails...totally..

 

They are treating you like a fool as you keep jumping everytime they pull your string

..block them...

It makes your position 10 times worse..stop calls and emails !!

you do neither you WRITE you make them write

 

and when this is done you hit them with all these charges that in 2009/11/14 you were told to do and never did

the loan is probably only their charges now anyway.+ 50% interest each month, they should only be going for eviction on the main account anyway all the charges must be in a sub account and cannot be included in any eviction process.

they are ALL unlawful

mThey said to me on the phone

.. that most of the payment each month is interest and can I really afford that?

My plan is to get this out the way hopefully ( as circumstances changed and I now have a job first time since 2011) pay them the cmi plus £100 and then spend two years getting my credit rating up or how ever long it takes and in that time investigate again these charges and what I’ve actually paid over the years.

I have 13 years left of the loan apparently.

I am going to then once credit better as I have plenty of equity I will add onto mortgage or remortgage so debt is at a better rate but I’ll be trying for a settlement figure once we see what charges come off..

That’s the future in mean time i need the judge to see I can afford which I have proof of .. I’ve made this months payment yesterday early.

. I have proof they have ignored me since May when I asked for a payment plan.. hopefully i stand a chance???

I just don’t know how much detail or what the judge will think is relevant

Will I be able to go early to hearing and add my statement and my income/ exp etc to the file?

Does the judge read before going in to room??

I didn’t get a chance to do a statement Friday as it was a rushed n244 .

I want to appear organised .

I just needed to makes sure I got a hearing booked in for Monday

Yes I have an income / exp i did for step change

Shows I now have the income .

I wasn’t working from 2011 due to having a breakdown which was caused by paragon

initially my dad took over for a bit and we complained to fos due to a catalogue of errors and harassing by them and sought a solicitor

They agreed to a reduced payment for a year.

I now have a job and we can afford payments .

I have been working hard to pay all other debts and tried to stay in touch with paragon but they ignored me since May

then said they were applying for possession but it was ok we could work something out but they then said no they can’t .

i have been printing out all i need, does anyone have anything else i may need

Did u need to see it ?
