    • 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.

I stopped paying stepchange

 

the 2 replies ive had back

one is 1st credit saying they are aware of dispute and will contact original lender/suspend collections activity whilst they endeavour to obtain documents.

 

The other is Idem servicing who say we endeavour to provide the requisite information within the next 12 working days.

if you get anything back, like a cobbled together agreement and the T&C's you'll need to scan them up.

go read/look at a few debt threads in the forums!!

 

 

click the main forum tab top left [scroll up]

drill down to the forum named the same as the original creditor that gave you the credit .

ok thanks

 

Hi

ive had replies from cabot stating they acknowledge the 12 day time limit.

 

However, as they have had to request the details from the original lender they anticipate that it will take them longer.

 

They hope within 40 days to comply with request , do I post this info under cabot or just continue to wait.......

Thanks

is there anyway legally it can go back to the original lender

 

do they have any legal grounds

 

or is that the whole point of all of this to see what they can come up with?

 

I think I'm slowly getting it,

ARRRGG made a small mistake

 

I sent the SAR to Lloyds and its joint but I only enclosed £10 po

they just called me to inform me of this and asked me what paperwork I wanted to save sending irrelevant things

I said ALL!!!

 

hope this was the right reply,

I also said I would send SAR for partner with po.

 

The 12+2 days were up today I will post a letter of correspondence later from one of the dca in the proper place

they have stated that it will be defaulted on

I was under the impression it had been as its 2009 debt

 

.I'll post it when I figure out how to scan it.

 

Lloyds at one point in our lives loaned us as a charge on our home £10k to take on a ltd business

 

not sure how relevant that is

 

we cleared it so our home wasn't at risk

 

would we be able to use relevant paperwork for anything else

 

as they freely leant us way too many loans hence the mess we are in.

I've received response from SAR

they've asked if I want call data and or emails as this may take longer

 

they will advise on length of time when I reply

 

I don't recall emailing ever

 

would this be necessary or do I just need bank paper info?

 

thanks in advance
