      Advise on debt I currently hold

      By MANUKI12742 · Posted

      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?

      Ovo Energy Bill is way too high - faulty smart meter

      By Alfy · Posted

      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?

      LC Asset/Link/Kearns Claim Form #1 - Halifax CC

      By Badtimes123 · Posted

      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

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      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

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      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.

Hi

 

Grateful for any advice on this- haven't yet had a letter from Southeastern trains but I want to be prepared.

 

I bought a peak ticket in the morning - return to London terminals- from Eltham (zone 4). On my return I got on a train to Woolwich Arsenal (also zone 4) as the Eltham train had gone.

 

Prevously I had asked when buying a ticket if I could do this- and been told it was ok as its 'in the same zone' I have done this LOADS of times in since and never given it a second thought. However- I obviously cant prove I was given this advice!

 

Anyway, on this day there were ticket inspectors waiting at Woolwich and when I showed my ticket, expecting to be let through as I normally am, they said it wasn’t valid. Cue big argument (fortunately not sweary!). I refused to pay the fine as I have always been able to travel this way in the past and never been told that I was, in fact, acting illegally. I told the ticket inspector that I thought my ticket was valid for the journey.

 

I gave my details, was cautioned and asked lots of questions. When I asked to read through what he had written down it was inaccurate and I refused to sign.

 

He then said I could go (although he refused to open the gate saying I could climb under the barrier or crawl under- my choice! Had to get someone else to let me out…nice.) I have no idea what to expect now.

 

The station I arrived at was 2 stops past Blackheath- the ticket was entirely valid to this point)- Eltham is 2 stops past on the other line.

 

Can anyone advise me of what might happen next and whether I have a valid case fo contesting this? I wasnt given anything to take away with me- he just took my ticket.

 

Many thanks

The ticket was a return to London from Eltham, unless there was disruption on the Eltham line, you should have returned to Eltham, to return to a different station within the zone you should have bought a travelcard (all day travelcard £10). Remember the zones circle London, by your reasoning traveling from Eltham to Richmond via London should be allowed because you are still returning to a zone 4 station. The inspector probably kept your ticket because it is now evidence, (ticket to Eltham taken from passenger at Woolwich Arsenal).

 

Sorry I'm not the bearer of better news.

If what we say helps you, then please tip the scales.:cool:

Hi (i work for a train company, I deal in matters like this every day)

 

Don't bother as this will go no where, you will not get a letter from southeastern as the jobsworth took a written statement from you has not done his part of the statement correctly, he has gone through the motions as it frightens the customer (as you get cautioned), you are allowed to travel to any station that is in the same zone as what your ticket has printed on it, even if it doesn't state the zones. If I were you I would write a letter of complaint state the day and time and southeastern will investigate this matter for you, please do this and also state the point about your ticket was valid for zone 4 stations. The RPO (Ticket inspector) will be based at London bridge, I will also highlight this matter to my manager.

 

PM me if you are still unsure.

 

 

Regards

 

PS Oh and always get a name of the RPO, they all wear name badges so take note.

 

Never get rude and never swear as this is what they want you to do.

This infomation is INCORRECT. I work in the revenue department for a train company. You can use your ticket for ANY station in the same zone.

I'm pretty sure that a return ticket froma station in a travelcard zone doesn't permit you to travel to any station within that zone.

I was always told that NR tickets are issued as point to point tickets, i.e. station A to B, it is not valid at station C regardless of if station C is in the same zone as B.

Its classed as Travel Beyond Validity.

 

However discretion would come into the situation if station B/C are priced the same.

Nope this is no longer the case, as I stated before you can use point to point tickets as travel cards(not valid on buses and underground) the TOC's do not want this to be common knowledge, but I can assure you this is correct. you will win any appeal if you state the station is in the same zone as the one your ticket has printed on it. This rule came into effect in 2008 (approx April)

 

This has been introduced as london TOC's have to do this as part of the PAYG oyster system that will be implemented from 2009

Absolute codswallop, until PAYG is introduced on NR, point to point tickets will be exactly that, point to point.

For example, if what you said was correct, London Terms to Wembley Central would be accepted at Grove Park, even though RSP wouldnt pass any part of the fare to the carrying TOC.

This is extremely bad advice and could cause someone real legal difficulties if challenged by Revenue Protection.

Firstly its not codswallop, contact RPSS and state this on your appeal and it WILL be quashed, secondly if you contact southeastern they will confirm this matter for you, ALL SOUTHEASTERN revenue staff have been informed of this matter and most competent staff are aware.

 

Please check facts first before ranting. I will even post the email sent from senior management.

 

I will state again that ALL stations in the same zone as your ticket is ARE valid and will be accepted, if you are issued a PF then this is wrong and you will win the appeal

Please do post that email. If necessary use PM to preserve management and posters anonimity please. I shall certainly be following this up today. It is imperative that consistency is applied throughout this process and I am very keen to clarify this matter.

 

It is accepted that what you are referring to is the case for Oyster and for zonal card / paper tickets, because these are not point-to-point and stations, other than the originating station on paper tickets, are not named in any way.

 

I think we are all aware that such a change has been discussed for the LRT area and personally, I think it would be eminently sensible, BUT so far as I am aware there has been no formal instruction to apply the logic across the system yet and that is the basis of these comments.

 

If South-Eastern (or any other TOC) are applying a different set of rules to everyone else it is very important that this is clarified and it cannot be used as a generalisation applying to all TOCs

 

Furthermore RPSS at Portsmouth are part of the SE set-up and are only one of several companies handling the product of rail staff issued penalty fares and other tickets.

 

Specific information given can only be considered correct if it is provided by the actual company that handles the issues for the rail company on whose services a traveller is making their journey.

1. Why would I ask someone else??

Your quote, you claim to be able to post it!!

 

2. Why would I see internal emails in a company that I don't work for??
