    • 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.

Been asking this on here for months and nobody knows.

 

A similar outfit called london scottish went bust a while back so would be interesting to know what happened to their loans

 

I here cattles have to pay 1 billion to their lenders in july or that could be it for them. Their lenders being banks now owned by gordon brown like RBS etc so it would be morally wrong for them to bail out cattles who rip off the poor with high Apr.

 

while i am ranting the whole financial system is corrupt to keep the poor poor, the poor subsidise the rich end off. the key to wealth is to borrow nothing

 

If they did collapse I will be dashing online to cancel my direct debit

the latest developments in this saga

 

welcome car finance is no more

welcome financial services is on the way out

 

all valid live accounts are being transfered over to another welcome/ cattles company, progressive financial services

 

most of the welcome offices are now being closed down.

 

the parent company, cattles.

that a ft500 company as they like to brag about are in big trouble

there shares have been suspended

they have to pay back a 750 mill loan by the begining of july.

 

the total debt is believed to be close to 1.5 billion

 

false accounting and fraud has been widespread to make the figures look good to shaft the share traders, they get no sympathy from me

 

the main players in aquiring shares have been barclays and rbs

 

barclays is selling shares like mad in all its companies

rbs is owned by the goverment and its rumoured that they owe much more in dodgy investments that has not been released to the general public

 

on top of that

 

the cattles share trading forums are talking of massive claims ref ppi misselling and that cattles have nothing in reserve to meet these claims

 

NO MATTER WHAT PEOPLE SAY, THE DAYS OF COMPANIES LIKE WELCOME, LOG BOOK LOANS ETC ARE SOON TO BE HISTORY

 

I CAN SEE REGULATION STOPPING THIS LOAN SHARKING BEHIND A CREDIT LICENCE

 

IT MIGH DRIVE PEOPLE TO DOOR STEP LENDERS BUT IN THE END, STOPPING WELCOME ETC WILL SAVE A GREAT MENY PEOLE SLEEPLESS NIGHTS

 

 

IF YOU WERE A COMPANY

WOULD YOU LEND MONEY TO TRY AND SAVE THIS LOT

welcome financial services stopped any new loan applications etc.. earlyier this year & even then it was mainly to exsiting customers and the website is now "under construction" having spoke to a manager for WCF (when it was closed & he was just working part time until the remaining cars were collected so they could close the building down) he was telling me that WCF was doing fine, they just didnt have the money to keep the business running, buying new cars in etc... and WCF filled the gap in the market between buying new from dealers and bangers from the autotrader.

 

At the present moment all Welcome Finance is doing is collecting in the money....

Ok... so it seems as though it may be possible that Welcome or Cattles will go bankrupt in the next few weeks....

 

but for those of us with loans on Welcomes books... what are the possible options???

 

Will the debt be written off.:D... lost in a mountain of incomplete paperwork... or will another company take over the debts??:mad:

IF.....they were to go bankrupt then the "assets" would be sold off

so i would expect somebody to buy the debts owed at a very reduced rate

 

sometimes it is benifical to bust a company for the tax write off

and they buy back the assets

or maybe if welcome goes bankrupt and doesnt take cattles plc down (not sure if that is possible), Lewis debt recovery will take over all the collections (lewis being owned by cattles plc) lol. no way our debts would be wrote off i doubt, be someone that would take them on, be a good investment for the future all the high apr we have had to pay on prime finance.

vwery true, us tax payers have bailed rbs out and no way cattles will settle there loan with rbs, that mean that rbs will add a default fee on and maybe £10 charge for a default letter & give cattles a default on there credit file haha

Main company forces bankruptcy of sub company due to "managment charges" ect and buys sub companys assets in closed sale

 

You would be suprised at the amount of companies that have done this sort of thing - Phillips being a classic example (multiple companies = limited liability to main company)

Nationwide - Won (took 2 years got back £1800 in charges)

Captial One - (Won took 1.5 years got back £700 in charges)

Capital One PPI - still fighting

Strange question time - say Welcome / Castles lost the paperwork, or the paperworke that they had was completly different to mine, (they had say "altered" the amounts and signed "for me" woudnt that mean they had been obtaining money by deception (my bad spelling) and I would be entitled to report them to "Police" for this issue. - As well as claim all payments back + the standard 8% interest?

Welcome did this with me .. I defaulted several years ago and they went to court, got a CCJ and then had my wages arrested - next thing I know I get a statement for a new "loan" to which they have applied the arrested payments this shows as a loan on my credit file. So far they have refused even to speak to me regarding this.

HALIFAX - Settled in FULL - £1654 13/6/2006

NatWest - Prelim sent - £985 16/6/2006: LBA sent 30/6/2006 : Summary Cause issued (Sheriff Court) on 14th July : Waiting for Cobbets!!!

  • 4 months later...

I had a loan with this lot until recently. They offered me a settlement which seemed to good to be true. I agreed and the letter was sent to me confirming the offer. Then I recieved a call from them with some manager saying they had made a mistake and were recinding the offer. I told him I had it in writing and I would pay within a month as agreed. He actually said they didn't have to accept the moiney as full and final settlement.

 

I paid it and about a week later recieved the letter confirming the account as being settled.

"Seeing as im a tax payer like most who have loans with yourselves and that I now own part of RBS and various other banks and that RBS have a major stake in Cattles and Welcome etc... I would hereby like to instruct Cattles and Welcome and any other subsidery to void my HP agreement with immediate effect."

 

I woulder how that would go down in a letter to Compliance at Nottingham? heh heh
