    • 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.

This is the defence I used

 

It is denied that the defendant is indebted to the claimant as alleged or at all.

The defendant has no knowledge of any agreement to repay in instalments as alleged by the claimant and puts the claimant to proof of any such agreement.

The alleged debt is comprised wholly of charges and interest levied in respect of failed checks or direct debits etc.

The defendant relied on the claimant’s integrity and expertise that the charges were lawfully due.

The defendant now understands that these charges are invalid as they are excessive and unfair under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999.

The defendant has served A Data Protection Act request for disclosure of all data upon the claimant.

The defendant reserves the right to amend this defence and also to file a counterclaim against the claimant in respect of all charges levied during the history of the account, once the claimant has complied with their statutory data disclosure obligations.

Nationwide have surprised me apparently my SAR is ready to collect from branch, not what I asked for but at least they have provided it on time. They still can not get the basics correct, the letter is dated 31st July and they are saying I can collect on the 1st July (I am assuming this should be August).

 

I can't wait to see what the final figures are from all the charges, I may just have heart failure when I see the final figure!

I don' think that you need to worry about them misusing your signature. If this kind of thing does happen, it is unlikely to happen with this kind of organisation. I should just go ahead and obtain your data if I were you. Then you need to react very quickly to any shortfalls which you perceive they have made in the disclosure.

I didn't have a CCA with them as it was a basic bank account with no overdraft facility, not even a debit card. I haven't recieved any copies of any correspondance from them either. Just the computer records they have and all my statements is this normal?

 

I'm about to start inputting all the figures into the spreadsheet but it goes all the way back to 2001 so i could be some time lol.

Well my Aq will not be going to the court today or tomorrow. After a phonecall to them today I have concluded they are all children lol. I requested for them to concent to me amending my defence and adding a counterclaim (as I said I would in the original defence). They point blank refused. So now they will get a very nice letter informing them I will go ahead anyway :)

Letter Bryan Carter will recieve tomorrow :)

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Following my phone conversation this morning 20th August 2009 with Mr ******. I am very disappointed that you would not agree to my request to amend my defence and to submit a counterclaim, even though this would cause less problems for all parties involved including the court.

 

I would point out that I am quite certain that had I been a professional lawyer that you would have consented and I think it is deeply unfair that you choose to act in this unprofessional and obstructive manor towards lay people who are acting for themselves.

 

Please note that I am proceeding to apply to the court for permission to amend my defence and file a counter claim. I shall eventually be asking for the payment by you for the costs of this application, it is quiet unnecessary and you were given notice that I would be seeking to do this in my initial defence to you.

 

Kind Regards

Carolan78

Hi carolan78!

 

...I can see I am going to have one hell of a fight on my hands with this one

If U would like some accompanying moral support at court, when U get your hearing date let me know.

So long as it's not too short enough notice I may be able to wangle time off work, if necessary, to be able to attend.

 

It's YOUR claim though...but I don't mind shaking the pom-poms from the sidelines if it will help calm any nerves + keep U focused on the important matters to hand.

 

 

:)
