  1. Thanks again Yes they get annoyed if they do not turn up, I rang in for her when she had a bout of flu, the manager was quite stroppy about it. I only mentioned about H & S with regards to her lifting heavy Boxes which she has to at some point during the day, As they have a duty of care I thought it only fair it should be mentioned.
  2. Thank you all for your input CitizenB Thank you for the link interesting reading, Sidewinder She signed something, where she works, she had spoken to her line manager and he said she was definatley on Zero hours and does not have a contract as an employee. She basically works the same hours as employees. and is expected to be there everyday. if she is off sick she does not get any sick pay, I think she may be worry too much, but she will need to inform them soon for Health and Safety reasons The company she works for is part of the company who are quite famous for selling Jam from a village in Essex. They did have a good name for looking after there employees, Cheap rent for employees and even opened a retirment home for former employees. So I hope this part of the company wil have the same ethos.
  3. Thanks again She is defenatley a worker, rather than an employee I think her problem will be to hit the qualifying times, if they decided not to giver any more work because of the Pregnancy, they would be silly to say so. it is a shame that there is not more protection for her, she is as good as an employee, does exactly the same hours.
  4. Thank you Citizen B She has not informed the company she works for at the moment, because she is worried that as soon as she tells them she will lose the job, as she is on a Zero hours contract, She has had continuous work with them for the last 22 months, The initial date they have said for the birth, is about 23rd September so early days, I think she was going to inform them after her first scan. She is my ex wife, by the way , we are just on good terms because of our children, this is why I was prepared to ask the question on her behalf. Leakie
  5. Thanks for the quick reply where would she find this out, I assume at the job centre?
  6. My Ex wife has become pregnant, She has been working for her employers for just over 22 months, will she be entitled to maternity pay? Thanks in advance Leakie
  7. Do not name the site, normally, they can not help much. Sorry Andy had forgotten about post 19 All I could see is a copy of the original judgement, May 2011, post 20 so is there anotherone some where for the set aside hearing?
  8. Thank you Cassy From the info above I agree with Andyorch If you had got the set aside i Believe it would have gone back to the beginning, and no bailiff fees. So all bailiff fees and CCJ stand. I can not advise on the fees but others have commented already. but as BA has stated a detailed assessment, would be needed for a change if at all of the Bailiffs fees. Leakie Ref post 45 I would ask the HECO company for a detailed breakdown for the amounts paid. this should itemise the payments to the creditor. I can not see any way to reduce the amount owed, you must be nearly finished by now.
  9. I take it post 45 would have been the date for your set aside hearing
  10. Hi cassy What I am trying to get at, you should have been given/sent a copy of the Judgement after the set aside, This would have said exactly the amount you had to pay, and when by
  11. I belive you went to court for the set aside, after the first case . please correct me if I am wrong.
  12. Hi Cassy What BA has posted is correct in that that is what could be charged, But it dose not mean they are correct, as you say there are charges for something that has not happened. It may be wrong that they do this, but they have. It is entirely up to you if you wish to challenge the fee's, but what BA is saying it could come back to bite you at a huge cost. If you can get a copy of the last judgement, and check what is actually owed. Leakie
  13. It is £500 for each If you are up to date on your newest account there should be no reason why you can not move. They will probably, oject to the move but I am sure they can not stop with a small amount owing. I was with BG for both Electric for £380 and Gas for £695, I have move to Scottish Power on the Electric no problem. Any money owed is not moved over to new supplier. I still owe B G a small amount on the electric. They can not now go for a warrant to change the meter (only for Gas) as I am now no longer with them. The amount owed can only be chase now from the court or Debt collections I now pay BG £5 a month for what is owed. leakie
  14. If you are not in debt with the latest account, why do you not change to another supplier, if the amount owed is under £500 you can move. Then they can only chase with Debt collectors or have to go to court, or come to an agreement for payment, If you do not agree to a prepayment meter the would get a warrant and pass the cost on to you, if you did not agree. Change supplier is the best option imho leakie
  15. Funny that CitizenB I have had a similar email from Scottish power. leakie
  16. Hi BA of course you are correct, But from my own experience, the fee has been added before the visit takes place, as soon as it is handed to the EA,I have had letters that state the fee has been added. If you speak to the Enforcement company, they will refer you to the EA. ( this is after there has been no payment or arrangement made) May be this is why the Enforcement add the £235 on when stating it is in the hands of the EA. Leakie
  17. Grumpy to say the least is correct, But some Enforcement companies add the £235 as soon as it is handed to the EA, before they make a visit.
  18. Threaten to complain to the the regulator but state that the complaints will be split, each one will cost Eon £500 a time, 3 different complaints 3 x £500.00 if you ring up always ask to speak to a manager, as most of the time they read off a script, do not give up they will back down in the end, for the extra fees.
  19. Good post UB The trouble is they have already taken control of goodsof the mothers goods. and she has to prove that they are hers, I know this is bully tactics, But the Police will as usual take the side of the EA. I do not know if a stat dec would help.
  20. The Utility company Must send you the Date and Time also where the hearing is taking Place also a human rights letter before the hearing, if this has not happened then purgery has been committed, but is over looked because it is hard to prove. They privately Hire the court for the day, same as LO hearings, If you are lucky enough to be able to turn up they will try everything to come to an agreement so you do not have too go before a judge. it is a bit of a farce. Jaason Ask Eon for proof of the correct info was posted through your door, they can only take the word of the agent! if they can not say their agent lied in court and you will pursue it, as you were not given your time in court . But only do this if this was the case. This is what i did to BG they backed down. Their agent was meant to have been to my property 3 times they attend once, I was given wrong info for the court, All fee's were promptly dropped, Also it is worth saying that you are going to complain to the ombudsman, this costs them £500 per complaint Should not have to pay for info with the court regarding your own court case, some thing smells here.
  21. Correct Andy They are both different But they use the 1954 one to obtain the warrant to force entry on H & S grounds then use 1989 one to change the meters, This one they can not force entry. So effectivly the person who attends court on behalf of the utilities is purgering themselves.
  22. The Gas and Electricity act of 1954 is for Health and Safety To fix a gas leak or to check equipment, not for fitting a pre payment meter. unfortunately this has been abused for years, Most warrants are for Debt, but this should be taken to the civil courts, The Op is correct there will be no record of the warrant session as it is a hired room for the day, I had this with British Gas and they very quickly reversed the charges when challenged.
