Thanks Malc. You are pretty much right with what you say, although we didn't move into the property until months after the previous owners left. The final meter readings that the previous owner agreed on the date they moved out, were the same readings we gave to OVO. So there would've been no overlap for eon. It has now been passed to Wescot credit, so I suspect that this deemed contract has been cancelled? I did try to create an online account to speak to somebody again, but it said there was no account?

from EON

If you could ping the eon rep, then that would be great. I'm still getting letters, despite putting them in the picture. Thanks!

Hi there, looking for some advice on how best to handle this situation. We bought a new house, but rented it for 3 months prior to completion. We did not live in the house until the completion date, so the gas and electricity meters were started that day, with OVO energy, which was the same meter readings given by the previous owners, when they left. Unbeknown to me, the previous owner had given Eon (her supplier) my name and they have been contacting me to pay just over £300. I have spoken to EON on the telephone, to put them in the picture and have returned emails, but they kept sending the demands. They have now sent it to Arvato, who have strangely said that the balance is £40 They obviously have no signed contract or anything from me, as they only know my name from the previous owner. What is the best course of action? Thanks in advance

I think I will send the 'bemused letter' stating that this agreement was terminated by park, maybe with a SAR too, just to see what paperwork they have on me. Also, if they are planning any court action, be it ccj or stat demand, they might think twice as they will know i mean business

Hi,I am opening a new thread as my existing one, is old and very long, plus most is irrelvant now and i think the length is putting people off commenting on my recent develpmets - here is old thread for reference http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?240860-Park-Motor-Finance-Default-Notice I took car finance out, paid over a third but missed one payment. I was never informed of this missed payment, but then received a DN. The default notice was faulty and they terminated the agreement. It went to court, was adjourned and whilst waiting for the next hearing, the car was stolen. The finance company was paid by the insurance, plus they had sold me gap insurance, so paid out by that too. However they had added on lots of penalty charges for various letters and phone calls, so there was still a balance. I have refused to pay this balance as it is penalty charges. For the last few years I have haeard nothing from them except for default sums notices, but now I have recived a letter of assignment, assigning it to bluestone credit management. What I really want to ask you experts, is what should I do now? I don't want to ignore it, but dont know whether it is best to send a sar, cca or cpr request to bluestone. I dont want to be dealing with a stat demand or a ccj. Can anybody help?

After a couple of years of letters and default sums notices (all ignored) i now have rieceved an assignment of the agreement from park motor finacne to bluestone credit management, what shall i do, contact them or send CCA?

He went to court and it all went smoothly, the matter has now been referred back to see if they wish to proceed. thanks for all your help!

thanks tomtubby, will do

Right we've to the bottom of it, my partner phoned the hmcts and it isn't for his recent speeding fine. They managed to trace it back from july 2007 when they said he was caught with no tax. He has never been caught with no tax and all correspondence up until now has been going to our old address, so this marston letter is the first he's heard of it. The court have booked him in to make a statutory declaration next week and the bailiffs have been put on hold. What a polarvar! The only thing we can think of, is that his van was cloned by travellers around that time as they were caught fly tipping so it all came to light. thanks for your help guys, I would never have thought to phone the court, I just thought it was a bogus letter!

But the date of this letter from the baliffs is dated 2 days before the first payment was due, so they wouldn't have known if he were to pay it or not, as he would've still had 2 days left, if you know what I mean?

Yes, but he got the letter v late and had already missed 2 of the first payments, (he's paid them now) but he also received this bailiffs letter, which is dated 2 days before the first due date, at the same time because he'd been away, so that's another reason why we didn't think it was the same case. He received no other letters

He does have a magistrates court fine, which he is to pay £10 a week, but this is for a different amount and the ref number is completely different, so don't think it can be the same one. I will get him to telephone the court tomorrow and check it, thanks guys! ps the client is described as HMCTS Greater Manchester but the magistrates was a different court

Hi there, wondering if anybody can help me shed any light on this. My partner has received a letter from a company called Marston with a client HMCTS and a client ref which he doesn't recognise. its also for an amount that he doesn't recognise they are stating that they are in receipt of a magistrates court order which he also has no idea about. Is this a legitimate company and how can I find out what it's for without telephoning them?

they stopped putting interest and charges on and yes, that might be a good idea to do that with the charges, do you happen to know off hand where the link to a spreadsheet is?

Hiya, thanks for you reply! They have passed it around to many different dca's but until now, I've not heard anything for ages and this is from Amex. The DN didn't have a date on it, it just said "14 days from the date of this letter"

Hi guys, another update! Not heard much from these for ages, but have now just had a letter from Amex offering me to pay just 40% but unfortunately, I still cant afford this. They have also sent (separately) a statement of account and on it, it says:- "Your account is cancelled and has been referred to a collections agency. The full balance is now due, so to avoid any further action please pay the closing balance reflected on the statement immediately" Is the faulty DN still making it unenforceable, or have things changed now?

thanks bankfodder, i'll get a letter together

hi there, can you help please? My partner has just checked his bank statements and has noticed that he's been paying for insurance on his phone for over 12 months. He didn't even know that he had this insurance, doesn't need it or want it. He was with carphonewarehouse for years, but then got his most recent phone from orange, but the insurance is still from carphonewarehouse. He's sure that he never signed for it. there any scope for him to try to get a refund, or should he have noticed this going out of his bank and acted sooner?

Hi all, sorry for the late update, the school have now decided to let me pay it in installments So I'm happy now and have already paid half of it! It turned out that it was the council (who provide the meals) that have set down the rule that anybody in arrears must take in a packed lunch and not the school. The school too were only informed of the bounced cheque a few weeks ago, so they couldn't inform me earlier. Thanks for all your help!

Thank you so much for that Brigadier2jcs that's very kind of you to do that letter for me, it's brilliant

How do I address the board of governors, by letter? Sorry to be naive, but who is the chairman of the board, will that be the headteacher?

Thanks for your reply! She goes to a special school, so all the professionals are based there. I never thought of going to my MP, but I suspect this will be more of a long process, and I hope to have paid the debt off within 3 months, hopefully sooner. I am quite annoyed that they gave me such short notice and are now not allowing any extra time to pay it, also because it's not been kept confidential.

Can they just demand this money with such short notice? I am not refusing to pay it, I will pay it, just can't afford it all at once!
