    • 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.

Firstly hello to everyone on this great forum.

 

I have been looking at my Picture Financial PPI and they charged me £16,966.00 for a PPI insurance that I thought was for the full 300 month term of the policy and it has turned out to be for only the first 5 years! They have also added the insurance premium to the loan amount so I would be paying interest on this for the 25 years not the 5 years it covers me for. Is this a common situation and would I be within my rights to look at getting this refunded. The loan was taken out in Jan 2006.

 

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Paul

If Picture sold you this you need to contact the FSCS, Financial Services Compensation Scheme as Picture (the original) is in Liqidqtion and all claims have to go through the FSCS.

Tel:02078927300.

If someone else sold it contact them!:)

Yes, Would love to know what they have to say As I am in the exact same position as yourself. took out the loan in 2006 and didnt realise it was only for 5 years cover and not the 15 years(term of loan). I already asked conkersclaims to start claiming this back for me, but they have said that since picture went into liqiudation and have been taken over by another company they cannot help me with my claim.

Has anyone had any positive outcome from the FSCS relating to Picture or any other Financial institution?

 

Reading the forum for most of the last few days I can see this being a long and drawn out process but I will go all the way if I need to it is just unfortunate that Picture are no more and the FSCS is my only route to a fair and just outcome.

Picture have yet to be declared in default, so the FSCS (so I believe )have not paid out on any claims yet.

My last email from them said that they were concluding their invetigation into the default of Picture and looking at my claim to see if it was eligable for compensation under their rules.

Hi Folks,

My first time of posting and good to see other people are fighting for compensation on the ppi (picture financial). Like many others I was at a stage where I thought consolidation was the only way to sort out my debt problems (how wrong I was) and in desperation went to Picture and was sold a loan and conned into the ppi insurance. I feel like most that they took advantage of somone who was not thinking entirley straight at the time. Just picking up on this thread re compensation....I like many others have been at this for arroun18 months and have been forwarded from the FOS to the FSCS same as you guys they have yet to be found in default. I have had a call yesterday and they are still looking into the default process. From what I was told if they are not in default it goes back to the FOS to claim damages from Picture as the FSCS is the goverment compensation board who on behalf of picture will compensate. In essence its a minefield and one that appears to be long and drawn out. I will not be giving up until justice is done and I would be pleased to here from anyone else who is any further on...I guess not at this moment in time

I will be gutted if they hand back to the FOS. Why email and say they are concluding their investigation of finding if they can declare Picture in Default and are looking at my claim to see if I am eligable under their scheme for compensation, only to pass it back to the FOS?

Hi i am Glad to see people are still fighting the good fight against picture, i feel totally ripped off too i have also been in touch with the fscs and this is the reply.

:

Thank you for your email about your claim for compensation against Picture Financial Services Plc.

 

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) must consider all claims in line with our rules, as set by the Financial Services Authority (FSA). Under these rules, before we can consider the eligibility of an investor’s claim against a firm, we must first be satisfied that the firm in question is financially unable to meet the claims that have been brought against it. We can only consider a claim for compensation if no other party is in a position to do so.

 

We have nearly completed our investigation into the solvency position of Picture Financial Services Plc, and are currently reviewing your claim to see if it is eligible for compensation under our rules.

 

It is difficult to give an exact timescale as to when we will be in a position to write to you about your claim. Reviews are, by their very nature, time consuming, as we are dependent on receiving information from third parties, over whom we have no jurisdiction.

 

Hope thats helpful, i heard recently that single premium ppi was now banned which supports our claims, best of luck everybody i actually believe that the company was concieved rather to sell ppi than earn profit from the loan interest it certainly seems to be make the product vastly more lucrative !!

Has anyone had further news on claims against Picture. I have been waiting for my claim with FSCS since last November and they have told me it could still be months before this is resolved! My husband and I are really struggling to pay Picture and are considering paying a reduced payment, or stop paying until this is sorted. We took the loan out in 2005 and have not received any rebate on the PPI, as they have said we forfeited this in 2007 when we went on a agreed reduced payment plan with them (this was for a short period of time when we were experiencing financial difficulties). Does anyone know what happens if you stop paying, but continue to pay the main mortgage? We have very little equity on the house, probably just enough to pay the main mortgage. Has anyone stopped paying Picture?

Hello David, the last some of us heard was that Picture are pending default and are expected to be in default in June but we are not holding our breath! Then the FSCS have to actually look at the claims to see if they were mis sold. I put my claim in back in August 2008.

I am afraid I don,t know about what happens if you stop paying.

Hope we all hear something very soon.

They keep changing what they tell people, someone got an email reply on June 3rd was told it would be in the next few weeks.

They know Picture have no money but the reclaiming of PPI is new to the FSCS and they are making sure that all claims are dealt with in exactly the same way, this is what is taking the time.

Hopefully the FSCS will see the light and come up trumps for the folks ripped of with picture. Incidentally How did they manage to put so many adverts on the Telly when they were going down the pan????:???:

 

It should perhaps be mentioned in one of your complaint letters:rolleyes:

PPI Claims ongoing with:

***RBS PPI Claim Long fight but, WON***

 

Please do not PM me for advice as it may be sometime before I can respond.

 

Keep at them. Do not give way and do not accept all they tell you, they will delay and stall for as long as they can to prevent repaying you your mis-sold PPI.

Hi fellow PPI miss-sell-ees

 

Happy to confirm what 'annoyed mum' has said - Picture have finally been declared in Default by the FSCS!!! This happened with effect 06/07/09 however, only found out today as I've just called them so this is from the horse's mouth (they've yet to update their website - just an admin task for them but they're snowed under).

 

They've outsourced the Picture cases to Delloitte so we should all hear something soon.

 

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!
