    • 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.

hi all,

sent a cca to restons recently regarding an alleged arrow debt,

they refuse to give any detail other than amount allegedly owed.

 

Received this pathetic response from restons -

Re: Arrow Global Limited v. Yourself

Original Creditor and Product Type: Santander - Asda Store Card

Dear Madam,

 

We write further to receiving your recent email, seeking documentation pursuant to S77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

We are under no obligation to provide the requested documents to you as we are not the Creditor; we are a firm of solicitors.

 

We have not been informed of any properly constituted request having been made pursuant to the CCA 1974.

 

Even if a properly constituted request has been made,

the Credit Agreement is only unenforceable until such a time as the request is complied with. It does not mean that the debt is indefinitely irrecoverable.

 

Your email is written in a format that we are familiar with and that is circulated on consumer based websites.

 

You may be encouraged to use this template in order to avoid the repayment of a legitimate debt.

It is our belief that you do not fully understand the nature of the allegations raised within your email.

 

We trust this clarifies our position.

 

We now require your proposals towards the outstanding balance.

As such, please complete a financial statement on our website at restons by no later than 13 April 2017; failing which, we are instructed to issue legal proceedings against you.

Yours Sincerely

 

Miss N Didsbury

----

 

 

anyone give me the best way to respond to this claptrap,

needless to say they haven't responded within the statutory time limit to the cca request.

 

appreciate the help if poss, i'm helping a disabled friend who can't take their harrassment any more.

Be careful with Restons. They are not the idiots many make them out to be. They are a debt collecting firm of solicitors with a good success rate and have the habit of securing unsecured debt through charging orders on property.

 

Whether their letter is correct or not someone with more knowledge than myself will need to comment - but I was under the impression you would need to contact whoever now owns the debt for further information - or you CCA Restons if they issue a summons for the debt.

Success with judgement by default.

 

Restons and the DCA know they have to comply with the legal request,

but they will almost always lie and mislead you so you give up and they get the judgement.

 

They certainly are idiots and would be laughed at if more people stood up to them and knew their rights.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Unfortunately - and I know this from bitter experience - a lot county court judges take what they say as gospel. And as said previously they win an awful lot of the cases they take on and not all by default either. Do not underestimate them. They may have the odd idiot working for them - and what organisation does not - but generally an outfit that gets results for those that employ them.

No. They take whateveidence they have, If you know your rights, you can counter them every single step of the way. They rely on total ignorance and scaring people into submission.

Restons are most def idiots

Is it on your credit file

Is it defaulted

When did you last pay it

 

No you don't reply

 

And what made you cca in the first place

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...

Then you need to look very carefully through CAG success stories where Restons have been involved and then trawl through all the threads where Caggers have been screwed over.

 

 

You will find that Restons have triumphed more than you think over many who had excellent advice from people on here.

The justice system is stacked against you before you even start as many LIP's are viewed as time wasters trying to avoid their obligations by many of the judges you come up against.

 

If Restons were so bad they would be put of business in a flash.

Yet they have been around for years screwing LIP's left right and centre.

 

 

A few years ago I was one of them but I ran up against a very biased judge and a barrister from a London chambers in my moment with them. Others who were in a similar position to me at the time also got royally screwed by them as well.

 

So, as said before, be very careful taking on Restons.

They do, as the ad states, what it says on the tin.

 

 

I'm not an apologist for them - I hate them with a vengeance.

But I do not want any LIP thinking they are morons who do not know what they are doing.

They do know what they are doing and they do it well.

thanks guys, this is a vulnerable case - a disabled persons carer, no other income other than disability benefits, no collateral, no chance of any future income. they can't remember when any last payments were but it's close to 6 years they think, they don't how much but it's from an asda store card originally. restons have been informed but don't care.cca was a legit attempt to find out from restons that missing information.

stop giving misinformation one case does not fit all. Restons are no different to any of the other DCA/solicitors for hire, just comment when giving proper advice not speculation.
