  1. OK guys this isn't helping poundster who is obviously already very nervous about this situation. If he sees two reasonably experienced Caggers arguing the toss he is going to get even colder feet. As I see it the incorrect claim amount may not be a deal breaker. Just a point to be made to make the claimants look less than competent. The lack of an agreement however is a very different matter and the one we should be concentrating on.

  2. Hi Ruddock Sorry to hear about the problems, the current economic climate really doesn't help with matter such as this! Has the letter been hand delivered by a rep on a field visit? If it has the timings of a Warrant being applied for at the Magistrates court and therefore how long you realistically have will depend on the waiting times at the court. British Gas are obliged to send a further letter advising of the date and time of any court session they will attend to obtain the Warrant of Entry. It is of paramount importance you attend this session; most often the warrant application does not go ahead if the customer turns up

  3. Might be worth going to your GP and being signed off due to your BP, it's not worth risking your health over a job you have no care for and do not intend to pursue. Then approach your employer and say, 'look, I'm not coming back, so why don't we just draw a line under everything?'. I'd ask for the wages, if I was you. You've done the work, and put up with a lot of crap in the process, by the sound of it.

  4. It is possible to exchange the meter when it is outside without entering the property, the fuse switches, trips etc inside your property control the electricity after that point, not before it. If there is free access to the meter, it is perfectly legitimate to exchange the meter without gaining a warrant as long as fair warning is given this action would take place, which gives you the opportunity to pay or make a suitable arrangement prior to the agent attending and exchanging the meter

  5. Where did the letter come from-is it from BG collections ? Have you been in touch since getting the letter ? I have never heard of a pre payment meter being fitted in a social club-but of course thats not to say it does not happen. If they need a warrant to access the building to disconnect,then they should inform of that process. You have the right to be notified when they would be asking the Court to issue a warrant and could attend to contest it. We have also a couple of guys on here who are very experienced in the process. One is Nottslad. I will contact him and ask him to pop in here and give some thoughts.

  6. If you are determined, then I can't disagree with any of the other posters - but I definitely agree with you that amicably is the way to go if at all possible. The problem with telling people that something is a low risk is that you never know who is at low risk until the employer does it! Having met someone who has lost thousands of £'s in this "low risk process", I am always wary of simply telling people it is a low risk and err on the side of making it very clear. Perhaps a bit overly cautious - but better that than someone taking your advice and ending up on the other side of it!

  7. You can make a chargeback from your credit or debit card. Send them a letter quoting this part of their terms and conditions and refute it in totality. Make the letter recorded delivery.

  8. Careful as all this stress may cause you to go off sick for an indefinite time. If this happens, hand in your notice immediately. If not, hand it in immediatley anyway.

  9. If you've been provided with a written statement of the terms and conditions of employment, and haven't challenged with your employer as to the terms contained within it, then you are bound by the terms there in. Whether or not you've signed it is of no significance. What exactly is making you so unhappy in the job, and what is so different about the work conditions from what you were led to believe? What I'd suggest, if you're so deeply dissatified with your new appointment, is that you explain this to your employer and see if you can come to some agreement to terminate the relationship without serving the months notice. If they refuse,

  10. Just catching up..... Yep, I agree. OK for you to pay them money, not interested in supplying you with proof you owe it. Hmmm. Stop paying them, see who (eventually) comes out of the woodwork to demand payment. In the meantime write to the OC's and say that you are most concerned about the administration of the above (not "my") account in that despite having paid xxx company for several years they have recently sent the (enclosed copy) letter refusing to supply a copy of the Credit Agreement formally requested on xxxx or to advise to whom the request should be made. As they are aware this is contrary to OFT guidelines. In order to be rea
