    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

It’s easy to say blemain charged me £35 for a letter or phone call and that is unfair. But why is it unfair, what makes it unfair?

So if someone would be so kind and post-up a list of what Blemain charged then for, then we can start looking at the terms of the agreement and the relative rules that apply.

hi blemain are not allowed to charge fees constant now for ringing you 35 pound a time its now at most one a month 35 together have said i think he said they have stopped it happening,but this is still crazy, claim it all back hun through support team that together now have, put a complaint in and dates you may be shocked how much you get back hopefully just be careful because they stuck interest on also so dont fall over when you get that shock too and yes about your loan and others the same there are quite a few hun that were not dealt with right im fed up with the trauma trying to chill but am hateing seeing so many customers of blemain all left in a pit and we should have been out the pit yrs ago.

just here to say hello

 

just a quick update after 9 years fighting blemain I thought me and blemain had come to a uneasy peace but its back on

 

blemain removed every single charge from my account

 

blemain removed all insurance charges from my account

 

blemain removed all interest from my account (intrest free loan )

 

but I made a mistake

I let solicitors add the point about brokers fees being unfair and I couldn't prove this point

 

the same solisitors put phone harassment into my defence and I couldn't prove this point either

 

so I ended up with some costs

 

so me and blemain are back on

 

I will start a new post and give you all the details

Hi suffering

I went to court with them.

But like a fish they wiggled and squirmed and got away, but like any big greedy fish they came back and now they are hooked again, and this time I have learned how to play a big fish.

I did end up with an interest free loan

I did end up with a charge free loan

Hi Welshperson. Like you I am back on with these bullies but from an unregulated contract. I am going to trial with Together (LMC) and I have been to court with them numerous times and won. think it would be beneficial if we shared notes etc. Please let me know. 

 

If anyone else has an unregulated contract with LMC -now Together and wants to fight back. Please let me know. 

 

I intend to fight these bullies.

Hi i was just so upset this morning and struggling with all this torment over my loan with them ongoing and saw an email showing you in same boat as me and your message, it made me feel im not alone i know there are more of us, but seeing what you write made me realise i need be strong. Thank you 

 

The Judge said at last hearing if no settlement sorted, he would multi track my claim and move to a bigger court out of area, well he kept his promise thats just what he has done.

 

I have to travel in under 2 wks now and hopefully my son too to a meeting. I know this mess could be sorted now and end to it all.

 

Sorry forum for not on own post i felt to quickly reply to this one, i will go now back on own post. 

The stress level is unbelievable. I keep having to do little things to refresh. Im trying to talk to Together to sort this out now. Health is important more than money and happiness i need an end to this as this battering is so exausting indeed, its exausting mentally and emotions you are up down up down with the stress of it all, im believing better days soon.

The stress is horrendous, i took ill and landed in hospital for a couple of months, due to the stress of all this i decided to drop my fight for the sake of my health and paid it in full. In short 5k loan i paid back £21,322.38. 

On another note though i got an ambulance chaser call me regarding blemains hidden commision to broker and she was telling me they have had lots of success against blemain (together). I may look into this one day when i feel ready to do so. 

All the best to anyone fighting these crooks

Thank you for your reply. Over the years I have read horrendous stories of just what this sub-prime underhanded no scruples lender do to people. They do not give two hoots about their customers it's all about squeezing as much money as possible from them. Time to fight back. Don't give in.
