    • 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!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

David when in the thread you want the link for, highlight the address in the address bar of your browser, now control+c both together.

Similarly, another useful step in the above process described by CCM is if you want to link to a particular post in a thread, then click the word 'permalink' on that post before starting the process (allow your browser to update the page so that a new URL is now showing in the address bar).

 

[it is also possible to link to a single post without including the thread by first clicking the post number instead of the word 'permalink', although this is probably less useful than the permalink method.]

 

Cheers

  • 2 weeks later...

Hello all! Just a quick update as off out again to work in a mo.

 

Thank you to everyone who's been so supportive. After my last post, i emailed my solicitor with the CLEAN (Bo tut tut :D) suggestions and explained the circumstances at home which mean i have extra pressures / responsibilty.

 

He has obviously taken all this on board and is now looking at alternative options. I feel a lot happier with the route he is taking now and don't feel as if i'm being pressured to throw in the towel. I think it is this that was getting me down. I know i am in a corner in respect that Weightmans / HFC seem to have the ability to get away with all sorts, but i still think there's room to fight and am glad the sol is on board.

 

I'm hoping to be able to get back to spending more time on here soon, but until then thank you everyone. I owe so much to this site.

I'm midway through the tunnel, but getting closer to the light.

Hi Hopeful1, been watching your thread for some time. Weightmans are being the a***h**** with me as well. They continually try to make you give up by flouting the court procedure rules. I have written a complaint to the court and asked for a stike out, but I know this will not happen. We shall see. I say keep going!!!!! Best regards Trevor.

About what you would expect I think, from a firm that's in a business no reputable solicitors would touch with a bargepole.

I wonder if they are actual "solicitors" or just using that tag. I would have thought that the Law Society (or whoever governs solicitors) would have something to say about their lack of respect for the law.

The Solicitors Regulation Authority and it's unlikely as they probably aren't "real" Solicitors, as you say...

Unfortunately the legal complaints service seem to think their practice is ok. Apparently it's permissable for court action to be proceeded without documents asked for several months previously. When they do turn up late it is simply due to poor communication / lost post etc :eek:

 

Anyway, don't get me started..again!!! :rolleyes:
