Virgin media ruined my credit report and life
king12345 replied to kaimoo86's topic in Digital TV Services
Welcome to the Virgin media conned poor souls club! Ombudsman?!?! Forget about it! Most likely they will rule in Branson's favour, but worth a punt just for the sake of it. Your only option is to find a legal reason to take them to court and once you win publish the court report on as many sites as possible sending all the links to ceo. Firstly you will need to send them an iar asking for all of your bills, communications and especially the telephone call transcript of when you cancelled their 'services' and gave them your new address. Then you will need to dig deep into it and find out exactly where and when they conned you. It seems like they enjoy ruining people's life. "I'm sure Richard Branson would be disgusted by it"; not likely, he's too busy making billions to have any sort of sympathy for you and your ruined poor life. Good luck, you will need lots of it! -
Virgin media will charge you what the want and if you don't pay they'll send the heavies in. In my experience they will not consider any appeal and should be avoided at all costs. Strangely enough, other mobile providers can set a cap on your spending, but not Virgin (at least up to 2010/2011 when I was conned by them) Good luck

I always thought domestic horses would eat hay and other ready made food. How can a huge animal live on just grass?
-
Does a horse really need an acre of land?!? I'm quite shocked as a small farm close by me has 6 horses in about an acre and they seem to have plenty of space imo. Where did you find the info about one horse needing an acre?

The fault is with the broadband system not the game. They have that policy to avoid having people returning games after cloning them

Scottish Power LCS and a prepayment meter
king12345 replied to newguyneedshelp's topic in Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water
I found out just by chance when we went into emergency and after reloading the card there was no gas because the meter got somehow jammed. An engineer attended to reset the meter and went into the submenu screen 27 and told me about the debt. I would have never known about it otherwise. I wasted a few telephone calls hoping to solve this but to no avail. I had the last paid bill from when we switched to a prepay meter as well as the paperwork from the engineer who fitted it with matching readings. So there was no debt as you cannot have a debt in a prepay meter. Better said: If you are on a tariff which charges a daily standard charge (26 pence) and leave the meter empty, then it will gain a debt for that. That wasn't our case because we were only in emergency credit once for a few hours. I emailed the ceo threatening legal action on the basis of fraud and they sorted everything out in less then a week. They also gave me a check for the inconvenience, reset the debt to zero and loaded £20 on the meter as refund. This of the prepay meters is a fraud, they probably do that to everyone and when someone starts kicking they give them a few pennies in compensation to shut them up claiming there was a meter error. I really would love to see the electronic log of these meters to see when and who loads these non existent debts. Write to the ceo and attach all the evidence you have. Be very firm in your email/letter making it sound like you have no problem taking a large corporation to court -
***Vauxhall Recall: Warning Over Corsa Steering ***
king12345 replied to rebel11's topic in General Motoring Issues
Careful when you take the car for a recall to a now Vauxhall garage. Few years ago I took my then Astra for a recall and I ended up having to redo tracking because for some reasons they messed it up very badly. At first they were all to happy to say that they could do the tracking themselves for a cheap £148. I told them they had to do it free because they messed it up (car dangerously steering to the right). They denied any liability and I had to fork £40 for tracking. The garage who did the tracking found that they also failed to tighten three bolts of the recalled subframe (which made the driving unstable) and for some reasons they had played about with the tracking rods twisting the rubber covers out of shape. -

AUTOSAVE Blackpool used car court action taken.
king12345 replied to sheene's topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers
It must be a nightmare to open a business and start on the defensive from day one, threatening legal action for anything said that doesn't please the new owners. Wouldn't have been easier to completely dissociate from previous company? To the op: If you don't manage to find the previous owners, keep an eye on the vicinity; the killer always comes back to the crime scene- 67 replies

Did they leave all of their cars in the courtyard without getting a penny out of you? You have made the bargain of the century! If you have instead paid for the vehicles then it's another story titled "taking over"- 67 replies

Scottish Power LCS and a prepayment meter
king12345 replied to newguyneedshelp's topic in Utilities - Gas, Electricity, Water
It's the new ppi for bg and other energy companies. They load random debts on pre-pay meters remotely so you don't even know that you're paying £6 a week. Happened to me and many others on this forums. I don't know the best course of action, but I solved by writing to bg ceo and threatening court action and possibly fraud charges. Solved in less than a week. Worth a try. -
I have a feeling that the camera could be a fake Sony. Check for images on Sony website and see if you spot any difference. You could also contact Sony directly and ask advice on how to spot a fake. I know this won't give you the money back, but just for curiosity sake. Chargeback is the route to get the money back as others suggested.

If there was an Italian court order, yes, the documents could be delivered at any address were the person is known. I.e. Your husband business. It would be delivered by a 'vigile urbano', 'polizia municipale' or in large and busy courts by a court officer who would ascertain the identity of whomever sign the receipt by noting down their id number and relationship to the person. That would be deemed served (wrongly imo but that's Italy for you). The thing is, this debt has not passed through the Italian court,so, by English regulations, they have to serve it to you. All of this if there really is ccj in the first place.

Fraud . (1) A person is guilty of fraud if he is in breach of any of the sections listed in subsection (2) (which provide for different ways of committing the offence). . (2) The sections are— . (a) section 2 (fraud by false representation), . (b) section 3 (fraud by failing to disclose information), and . © section 4 (fraud by abuse of position). I think (and I might be wrong, opinions please) they are committing fraud under all sections. That's what I highlighted in my email. I also sent them a link to the fraud act. Harassment and intimidation are the other two key words that can get things moving. After all, they don't have any documentation related to your debt (or are hiding it) and they're bullying you into paying a random figure (?!?!?!) Write again to the ceo and if you don't get a result, arm yourself with all the written request of payment, default on your credit record, email exchange,etc. and report them to the police. You will have to say that you feel intimidated and harassed. The police would probably try to send you on your way by telling you that it's a civil matter. Just ask the officer if it would be ok for you to send requests of money and intimidating letters to random people to gain money. If he/she says yes then you can always start doing that When I emailed bg ceo I told them that if they didn't resolve within 14 days I would have started charging them £32.50/hour for my time + any other expenses. As said they sorted it in less than a week.

They're giving you a pack of lies. They first said that they were about to enforce the eeo and epo, now they're going to have it translated and then have it validated by the Italian court. All of this without even knowing your address. Laughable. I bet a shilling that these eeo and epo don't exist. Get in touch with the court that allegedly issued the ccj and get the documents asap so you can get rid of these 'rincoglioniti'
-
Send an email to ceo explaining the situation. Mark it as formal complaint. Explain that as they can't provide an accurate bill, they need to drop the request for money which you find unjustified, harassing and intimidating. Explain that asking for payment not due for financial gain could be interpreted as fraud which you intend to report. Ceo office sorted my complaint for non existent debt (on a pre-pay meter) in less than a week. Good luck

If you even mention the word Jew you're deemed racist and anti Semitic. At work we can't use the expression 'due to' because it sounds like 'jew to'. This was emailed to everyone a few years ago and still in force. Total madness!

Sneaky! I bet they made them sign a full and final settlement for a non existent free flight. Typical
