    • I've looked through all our old NPE threads, and as far as we know they have never had the bottle to do court. There are no guarantees of course, but when it comes to put or shut up they definitely tend towards shut up. How about something like -   Dear Jonathan and Julie, Re: PCN no.XXXXX cheers for your Letter Before Claim.  I rolled around on the floor in laughter at the idea that you actually expected me to take this tripe seriously and cough up. I'll write to you not some uninterested third party, thanks all the same, because you have are the ones trying to threaten me about this non-existent "debt". Go and look up Jopson v Homeguard Services Ltd, saddos.  Oh, while you're at it, go and look up your Subject Access Request obligations - we all know how you ballsed that up way back in January to March. Dear, dear, dear - you couldn't resist adding your £70 Unicorn Food Tax, you greedy gets.  Judges don't like these made-up charges, do they? You can either drop this foolishness now or get a hell of a hammering in court.  Both are fine with me.  Summer is coming up and I would love a holiday at your expense after claiming an unreasonable costs order under CPR 27.14(2)(g). I look forward to your deafening silence.   That should show them you're not afraid of them and draw their attention to their having legal problems of their own with the SAR.  If they have any sense they'll crawl back under their stone and leave you in peace.  Over the next couple of days invest in a 2nd class stamp (all they are worth) and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.
    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx). The defendant contracted Evri to deliver the parcel (Evri Reference xxxxx) and refuses to reimburse the claimant on the grounds that the claimant did not purchase their secondary insurance contract. The defendant seeks to exclude their liability in breach of section 57 Consumer Rights Act. The secondary insurance contract is in breach of section 72. The claimant seeks reimbursement of £265, plus P2G fees of £9.10, plus postage costs for two first class letters to P2G of £2.70, plus court fees, plus interest. The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year from xxxxx to xxxxxx on £276.80 and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of £xxxx   Details of claim Amount claimed £276.80 I look forward to your thoughts and comments guys!

    • 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 have been redundant twice in the past couple of years

to cut a long story short they put a prepayment meter in in March 2012,

I rang Scottish Power to ask about the repayment schedule explaining that I was now on JSA and they said they would contact me to arrange a small repayment until I was working again,

they never contacted me and so I emailed them explaining my difficulties and informing them that my son suffered from severe asthma and has been rushed to hospital twice recently.

I asked for a small weekly repayment on the meter and asked if they had any schemes that could help me due to my low income and the fact that I was anxious that I may not be able to keep the house warm.

I wrote /emailed in April and they never replied, I rang in June and they said someone would ring me back, meanwhile no debt was been deducted, I just paid for the gas as I used it.

On Saturday they sent me a letter saying that they had adjusted the meter to repay £ 17.00 per week-plus the gas I use,

I simply can't afford £17 per week at the moment,

I bought gas today and I have had to turn the fire of as the meter took money for the debt off,

I am really worried at the moment,

any advice would be appreciated

Is there a letter template that I could use to ask for the repayments to be set at an affordable rate?

also to complain about their awful customer service?

I have been on a prepayment meter for my electric for approximately 8 years.

The meter was read recently

 

 

the next thing I get is a demand for the full amount of debt.

They say that they will register a default if I don't pay.

 

I rang Scottish Power, the lad I spoke to told me the debt was about £300 less than the amount on the email and letter I had, he could not explain the discrepancy.

 

I wrote a letter asking why they were suddenly demanding the full debt on my electric when I had been paying weekly as arranged and also queried the lack of bill s on my gas meter.

 

Fast forward to today, I got a phone call from someone called Jude ,

he knew my details about the debt and the amount.

He knew my contact numbers as he said your phone numbers end in***

 

He claimed he would put me on a cheaper tariff and that I could set up a direct debit to pay the debt plus the amount used each month.

I found him difficult to understand.

I asked him to email the details of the tariff that he was offering me.

Jude went quiet then said that would not be possible.

 

I then did 1471, the number he rang from was 01527 419162,

I have done some searching and it appears that this number is in Redditch and possibly belongs to a DCA called Grosvenor.

I blocked the number

 

 

while I was out, I received 7 missed calls from 01703 925808,

the phone rang again and it was a female who's name I could not understand,

claiming to be from Scottish Power,

I asked her if she was actually employed by Scottish Power,

she hesitated then said ' I work for Scottish Power'

 

I am really angry,

I have raised a dispute with Scottish Power and this has not yet been resolved.

They have passed my number and personal details to a DCA,

who claim to be Scottish Power employees offering me a tariff.

Offering me a tariff is not within their remit if they are a DCA.

 

I have a total of 8 calls from these idiots today and don't know where to go from here.

If you ring the 01527 419162 number,

they answer saying 'Scottish Power but I am pretty sure this is fraud,

I am sure Scottish Power do not have an office in Redditch

https://www.tellows.co.uk/num/01527419134 - I googled the number in your post and it looks like scottish power have been advising a few people (so it says on that link) that this is not a number they recognise.

 

I would suggest you speak with Scottish Power (find a number from their website or from one of your bills) and ask them about it.

 

My bad just noticed that the link isn't quite for the same number... but I think it doesn't sound right so perhaps check with scottish power.

That's my intention but these idiots claim they are from Scottish Power. Scottish Power have obviously given them my details as they knew the exact amount that I owe. I did ask for an email confirming the 'tariff' that they were offering me but he said he could not do that

"Write to me / e-mail me, setting out:

a) what your are offering, and

b) that you are acting for and on behalf of Scottish Power.

 

Until then: do one."

Ignore them until they comply. If they don't, sorted. If they call again, rinse and repeat.

I have had a reply from Scottish Power claiming that this Redditch number is actually one of their offices. I am sure that they are being less than honest with me.

 

 

Just wish I could prove it

I wonder if anyone could give me any advice. I have a long standing problem with Scottish Power some has been escalated to OFGEM.

 

I am on a prepayment meter for electric and credit meter for gas.

 

Scottish Power had 3 failed appointents to come to change the elctric meter to a credit meter,

my complaint escalated to the CEO and long story cut short- part of the agreement to solve my dispute was to allow me to change to another energy supplier even though I owed more than £500 on the gas.

 

The electric debt was under £50. ( I could confirm the amounts owing by logging into my account)

 

Scottish Power phoned me to discuss this and it was agreed I would pay the gas debt off by instaments on direct debit and I would clear the £50 or so in electric in one go.

 

I have had an email this moring to say my account has been updated and was shocked to see that instead of owing less than £50, I now owe £247.

 

I am shocked and this was never mentioned in the phone call.

I have been on prepayment for years and thought the debt showing for electric online was correct.

 

I have serached online and found that many others have had this problem but can't see where anyone has successfully challenged it.

 

Can anyone advise me?

its really upsetting, I thought that there was light at the end of the tunnel with the electric debt and now they have moved the goalpost.

Please can anyone give me any advice?

 

Long story cut short,

I had numerous problems with Scottish Power.

 

I have recently changed over to another provider.

I have a pre payment meter.

 

Prior to changing over I kept checking my account online and the debt was finally down to £57.00. and reducing each week so would be less on the changeover day.

 

I rang Scottish Power and they told me to ring to pay the balance of less than £50 on the changeover day.

 

Overnight on 1st November, the debt went up to £240.00

I rang Scottish Power to query this and the person in the call centre didn't know and said they would raise a query.

 

I had a phone call yesterday claiming the money was owed from 2012 when I went from a credit meter to a pre payment meter.

 

I told them that I could check online as far back as 2017 and the debt was gradually reducing until November 1st when it jumped to £240.

 

I asked why they hadn't chased me for this before and asked for a breakdown I have had a letter stating that I owe the money from 2013-not 2012.

can I challenge this?

thanks

I was previously with Scottish Power, they were a nightmare, long story short,

I am no longer with them, and the energy company that I am with now charges much less-in spite of the recent energy crisis!

Scottish Power said I owed them about £1500, despite being on pre-pay at the time.

The 'debt' was transferred to various DCS's. I would challenge it and they would simply transfer it to another DCA

I have now been contacted by Moriaty Law, I sent a letter , the pre action conduct

Moriaty Law has simply  sent me a photocopy of the bill 

Moriaty Law said that Scottish Power have registered a default against me

Where do I go from here?

can anyone advise?

Can I challenge this?

Should the 'debt' have been bounced around from DCA to DCA,

can I challenge the default?

Interestingly, there appears to be only one solicitor registered at Moriaty Law and he had a disciplinary recently over financial irregularities
