  1. My son is autistic, and when he moved from secondary school to college, we became aware that his secondary school had either mistakenly or deliberately stated he had maths and English at grade C; his college had him resit the courses and found his grade to be an F at both levels. They said they would sort it out with the school, and all would be well. We then kept him in education until he aged out, which helped him socialise, but now he has aged out. We applied for further support only to be told he is not entitled to it because of his Maths and English grades. We sent a copy of the exam board's letter stating that this is not the case, but because it is on their system, they will not do anything. How can we get this changed? I have written to everyone I can think of, and all they do is give us the runaround. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
  2. Hi, my neighbour has hit my van and damaged my bodywork, and I had to buy a new light. My local garage can do the work Wednesday (650.00 costs), but the neighbour's insurance can not approve the quote for weeks. Offered a hire van, but this would mean two vans parked outside the home until the repair was authorised, which would be inconvenient, to say the least, and annoy my neighbours as parking is difficult. I just want to repair the light and get my van on the road, as bodywork can wait, but not sure if this will upset the insurance claim. It is ridiculous to hire a van for the sake of light I can easily replace myself. Any thoughts !
  3. Thank you for the advice have sent the Sars will issue complaint also. See how I go
  4. Hi, I am a courier and my van insurance was due for renewal on the 08.01.23 so have been shopping around to look for new insurance, and was made up that I got a quote this morning for 1733.00 GBP. I then chased up my existing brokers today to see if they could compete with the price only to be told they had just spoken to my insurers to confirm the renewal price and did I know that my policy had been cancelled as the insurers they had sent me a letter on the 05.12.22 asking me for the V5 and confirmation that telematics had been fitted to which I had not replied. Why? Because I never received it, presumably due to the strike's. they did however have my email and had not told my broker or called me my first question is does anyone think it is unreasonable of me to have expected my insurers to make a bit more effort especially when their actions mean I have been driving and working in my van blissfully unaware I was no longer insured, which if I had been pulled would have been six points a fine and possible suspension. They had a copy of my V5 back in January this year and I spoke to my broker on the 24.01.22 to confirm this, having received a seven day notice letter then, they also never asked me to fit a telematics either when I took out the policy or in the seven day letter & if they did I would have said no, I am fifty three years old and do not like the idea of being tracked by anyone let alone my insurance who were already being paid over two thousand pounds by me for the privilege of them insuring my vehicle. No one has contacted me about any of this until today, so for eleven months I have been driving around delivering goods with no issues with my insures even made a claim for storm damage in March and not a word. Now thanks to the insurers, I was left in limbo forty miles from home driving illegally so was desperate for insurance as I was working and had my customers goods on. Having had the insurance cancelled the new brokers could no longer honour the cheap quote or even insurer me but my existing broker could but at an extra 665.00 GBP. I feel that given the circumstances my old insurers should at least pay this extra cost plus the months cover I paid for but have not received. Has anyone encountered a similar problem either on this forum or in their other lives and how did you go about resolving it.
  5. Just a quick thank you to all those people who helped me with this on here, was resolved with Eon refunding the majority of the charges to me minus the standing charge, never admitted an error but still backed down, probably cheaper to settle with me as an individual than the whole block of flats,
  6. dx - the reading on the meter did move with all the appliances switched off as I did not switch off the fuse box as we were trying to sell the property so wanted lights and sockets so we could clean it. I thought the initial bills from the provider was due to this activity plus letting a family member stay for a month while mum was in hospital and then until her funeral. I only took a few readings initially in response to receiving an astronomical estimated bill. It was only when these showed a monthly bill of seventy pounds roughly when the flat was empty that I began to query what was going on. I only realised the charge was ridiculous after a few months had passed, as I was working six days a week, dealing with probate, insurances and all that a death entails. When I raised my initial query in March 2022 the provider wrote to me and said they could not deal with me until letter of administration was sent in. This despite them having moved account into my name as executor. Getting the admin letter took nearly seven months from mums death as there had to be an inquest into why mum died, From March until June the bill was being eaten away and I could not provide meter readings as provider closed my online access and refused to speak to me. Once the register had approved probate I sent letter in with a complaint, with the loa, but was fobbed off again, sent another letter in threatening public humiliation to them. got a reply saying will credit account down to zero but nothing about the credit amount and could I please send readings per month which I have just done. What annoys me is the twists and turns the provider has made to prevent me from dealing with this and the fact that now following my last complaint the meter seems to be magically working as it is not recording any electricity consumption which would be right given the fact I ended up switching not only the electric off via sockets etc but also the main fuse box. I do not have a problem paying standing charge as we all have to. My problem is where has all the other charges come from, which the provider seems unwilling to explain or confirm. I would like the credit back but not sure what to do next other than follow up on the complaint and say breakers off - no movement on meter, breakers on - electric consumed despite flat being empty and no one in it.
  7. Its an electronic meter which is one of the reasons why I don't trust it not sure how they work but I am pretty sure easily hacked or manipulated
  8. Hi, My mother died in November 2021 when I contacted her supplier she was in credit to the tune of three hundred pounds, following her death, I switched off all her appliances and the fuse box but somehow her bill was around seventy pounds per month. I queried this and was fobbed off, then raised a complaint in July stating that I wanted an explanation as to why the electric was being charged when it should not be even being used. She was in an over sixties flat with separate meters in a cupboard some two stories from her property her fellow residents have advised me that my mum is not the first to have had bills for empty flats and others have complained. So far the provider has written off the debt and the standing charge but I have just confirmed that following my complaint the meter reading has now magically not changed. Any ideas as to what I can do next as I do not think bar the standing charge that I should have been deducted the credit let alone end up owing money.

  11. As far as I can tell yes , they appear to own their own house and have a car, just feel awful if they have kids sending in bailiffs but can not figure out why they paid half and then stopped unless they think by doing so they can apply to have the judgement set aside.
