    • 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.

Hi,

 

I'm new to this forum and was wondering if anyone has successfully claimed a refund for irresponsible lending, even if it was over 6 years previous?

 

I've e-mailed a complaint to Wonga as I was taking out a loan month after month from May 2010 - June 2013. The majority of loans I had taken out were on the same day as the previous loan was repaid - usually in the region of £500.

 

I made a spreadsheet with dates my loans were taken out, credit amount, amount repaid, total in interest/fees and dates I repaid them. There were 3 occasions I had to set up a payment plan and the day the final payment was taken, I had taken out a new loan with them. The total I had paid in interest and fees is a staggering £2563!!

 

Around the same time I also had several other loans with other companies - one of them with Payday Express which was around the same timescale as Wonga and it was again month after month, I haven't yet worked out how much exactly but have sent them an email aswell.

 

I'm aware the majority of cases on the forum were within the last 6 years but can anyone tell me if I have a good chance of getting some money back although it started 8 years ago?

 

I've read a thread from a few years ago and saw some people were offering excellent advice (fkofilee being one of them) so thought I'd write a post and see what advice I would get.

Thanks for your reply! That amount is just Wonga alone but with other companies I reckon it's closer to 6k. I've just managed to stop taking out loans with Sunny aswell - I've also e-mailed them. I've worked out I've paid them £2300 in interest & fees from September 2013 to February 2018 so I'm going to see where I get with them.

The main companies I have borrowed from are Wonga, Payday Express & Sunny. I've used several other companies but those were just for the short term as they obviously declined any further loan applications due to them being a more responsible lender.. so I'm only going to chase the 3 named above.

 

I went through all my Wonga emails and have listed every loan I took with them, the credit amount plus the fees and repayment dates. I'm certain there are a couple of late fees which have been added on top of this but I'm willing to drop those so haven't included them in the spreadsheet.

 

Payday Express - I have used my bank statements and listed every transaction in & out of my bank account. The last loan (& last 2 payments) were from Pay Day UK so unsure if I can get that back, though I do understand they are both part of the same company. My first loan I received from Payday Express I had to roll over several times before paying the full amount.

 

Sunny - Again, I have listed all transactions from my bank account and added the total.

 

I'm not expecting that exact figure back from all the fees and interest but surely it can't be that far off it? I understand the first 2 or 3 loans aren't necessary irresponsible lending though they should have really seen I was paying other loans off at the time of applying.:|

Thanks for posting this Ste - If you have any questions please shout - Please push on with your reclaim :)

Thanks for your help fko,

 

I emailed Sunny, Wonga & Payday Express as those were the ones I borrowed the most from. I've received the standard "we are investigating your complaint, please give us 8 weeks" response from all 3.

 

I then thought I may aswell try and get a refund from My Jar so I emailed them asking for SOA and made it clear I was looking to make a irresponsible lending complaint, I got a reply the following day (27th March) with the attached. They said they are looking into my complaint and to give them 4-8 weeks. Not expecting to get much back from them and wasn't even going to bother, but better in my pocket than theirs eh? All but the last loan are past the 6 year point so reckon they'll only offer a refund for that one (not sure if second last loan counts? repaid date is just under 6 years but date I took it out was over 6 years)

7 loans in 8 months ...

Some paid late and you were constantly borrowing within a 2 weeks period of it being paid off.

Screams Irresponsible in my head...

 

If they have the info then i would say that it should be counted.
