    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • It you had E7 in the past but have converted to single rate then the meter will still hold the last recorded Night readings. This introduces scope for error when manually reading. If the meter has only ever been used on single rate then there's only one figure that can be taken. For example ours shows "Rate 1" reading and a "Total import" reading, but they both give the sme figure. If it has ever been on E7 the total will be higher, including the retained night reading.
    • okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?
    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Guest louis wu

I love a good 'discussion', sometimes I'm right, and sometimes wrong, but usually there is a point to the hostilities, er, I mean conversation.

 

I was, however, struggeling to find a reason for this thread and the way it has evolved. Then it dawned on me. For the CAG side, there is a sense of pride, and I suspect gratitude for a site that has helped not only in the fight against the banks and their charges, but also in restoring peoples self respect that the banks try to take away in their treatment of us.

 

Then the other side, I'm not sure what their called because it's all a bit cloak and dagger, (sorry, I don't really know much about that, other than the big issue of security, the bear garden and the ex mod, and I am happy to keep it that way), what is their purpose in this? It can only be a bit of free publicity and the hope/desire that a few people look at alternitive sites. I personally dont see/have a problem with that, but wonder why it's done in a circumspect way.

 

Ultimately though, this is one of those threads that is going to go round in circles, until someone steps over the mark, gets closed down, and the mods then getting grief over it.

 

Might be best if one side says sod it, and gives the other the last word.

 

I do not mean to disrespect any side, no doubt I have, it just seems to me to be one of those subjects that just wont go away......roll on March so the proper stuff can begin again.

While of course you're perfectly entitled to that opinion it could also be said that the op, in being able to open and close his thread, apparently at a point of his choosing and without feeling it appropriete to reveal subject of it and thus making it impossible to have an even debate, wouldn't nessesaraly fall into the catagory of 'the interests of fairness'.

I'm sorry - I just don't get this.

 

Why can't you all kiss and make up - or go away and leave us alone? So (according to you) we have rubbish posters who (you say) are allegedly rubbishing your site.

 

So what? Presumably (I have no idea) you have your own members who will not be affected by posts in our Bear Garden.

 

We come here after a hard day to let our hair down and have a laugh. And, to be frank, this constant sniping is boring us.

 

Please grow up and get a life.

 

And - all members of CAG - please do not feed the trolls.

Peace and love.

I lay down my gauntlet

 

long live CAG:D

 

 

I did pm setmefree a very fair opportunitity to not only prove himself

right and myself wrong but to raise some substantial and much needed funds for the site.

 

But regrettably setmefree, motto: 'long live CAG' couldn't find the time to respond.

 

 

setmefree

 

I couldn't help noticing your ''lay down the

guantlet'' post on my thread and I thought

I'd lay lat mine too.

 

I think we should settle the matter of which

site you referred to in your original thread by

way of a wager.

 

I propose we bet any sum of your choosing.

The true identity of the site can easily be

verified with your cooperation. And the winner

to donate the sum to your beloved CAG. So

either way CAG benifits.

 

I don't think I could be much fairer And If you

have the courage of your convictions then I

would expect you to accept the challenge.

I really do not understand this. What is setmefree meant to be doing? Guess which site he was referring to, although he has said he was not making specific comments? And how are you going to verify it? Do you have some new machine that can read his mind?

How about we all live and let live and agree that if SMF wanted to name the site, he would ahve done: he obviously doesn't want to so people can either accept that or draw their own conclusions as they wish.

 

It's not actually achieving anything, is it?

 

Come on, bad night last night with football but the sun is shining today - let's live and let live.

Ah crfx once again you continue a thread that no one has an interest in,at no time did i ever mention a specific site when i referred to OTR,in fact i can't understand your remarks of (wager) to name the site.

You were the one who named another site and not me,yes you sent me a PM which you have put in a post above,A PM stands for Private Message,you have now made a private message available for all to read,so why send it private message in the first place.I now have no trust in you whatsoever regarding a PM.

As for your remark YOUR beloved CAG where does that remark come from,do i own the site???.

Obviously my thread has hit a raw nerve nerve with you,this you have made clear to continue to ask me to answer you.

To clear your mind please post the other site that you are connected to and i will respond with a post as to whether i was refferring to that site,if i reply NO and you still continue to question me for the site then i can only presume that you have a personal problem with me.

It couldn't be clearer

 

''As for your remark YOUR beloved CAG where does that remark come from''

 

Well it's my remark (?) Inspired by your post #29

 

''To clear your mind please post the other site that you are connected to''

 

Bit confused on that one as earlier in your post you already confirmed I've done that ''You were the one who named another site ''

 

''To clear your mind please post the other site that you are connected to''

 

See previous answer

 

i will respond with a post as to whether i was refferring to that site

 

Again you already have. See post #14

I suspect most are like me. I look, not because of the subject matter, rather to get a laugh at the ridiculous arguments being offered:) . I take it I am allowed to do that:?:.

 

I also think you will find that 47 replies on 975 hits is WELL below average:rolleyes: , so people get their laugh and move onto something else.

Nah sorry you still ain't making any sense

 

Please give me the definite name of the other site you are connected to and not just the initials as you firstly suggested,also do you on the other site that you are connected with ,send out a Private Message and then if you get no answer post it for public view.

Please tell me what's your user name on the other site and your position,once again give me the name of the site and i will tell you yes or no.

I'm in no doubt that the site you are referring to is Legal Beagels. It is the only site that refers to CAG as OTR. It's hardly baffling.

 

LMFAO

Take a look at your quote post 13,my answer in post 14 as you have quoted above merely corrects your above statement as being wrong.:D
