    • Thats because this claim has not been allocated as yet hence the above hearing *Case Management " to determine the directions (N157 Notice of allocation) which will follow after this hearing. You are not requested to submit a statement but have all the details with you (claim form defence CPR CCA etc etc)   Andy
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hi everyone

 

I'm new to this but am in desperate need of help with Welcome Finance, I'll try to be as detailed as I can & I really appreciate any help given

 

I took out a loan with Welcome Finance back in May 2008 for £3,500 & the agreement was to pay back £259.92 a month for 36 months, first payment being made on the 1st June 2008

 

I hit financial difficulties shortly after this & set up a Debt Management Plan with Churchwood Financial, there was a delay in this being setting up so a payment wasn't made to Welcome Finance until 24th September 2008 but Churchwood Financial were able to get my monthly payment reduced to £76.71 a month

 

The only piece of correspondence I've received since my loan paperwork was a period statement, which shows the following information:

 

Date of first movement: 16th May 2008

Amount of Credit Provided: £5089.36

Annual Interest Rate: 0.00%

Minimum Duration of Agreement: 36 months

 

16th May 2008

Initial Disbursement £3500.00

Acceptance Fees Personal Loan £75.00

PPP - Unsecured Loan £1339.36

PERS Accident Plan - Unsecured £175

 

20th June 2008 - 20th November 2009

Total Capitalisation £4320.85

 

1st June 2008 - 24th August 2010

Total Payments £2100.96

 

Total amount provided + Total Capitalisation = £9410.21 - Total Payments = £7309.26

 

I decided to take myself out of my DMP as it wasn't particularly helping & am now in a position to increase my payments to settle the debt by the end of 2011 based on the information their statement provided, which I sent an email to Welcome advising this & I never received anything back in regards to this but instead receive a default notice!!!

 

I have them twice now as I refuse to speak over the phone as I prefer to have written documentation & yet still no response

 

What has confused me is the letter is dated 3rd September 2010 but wasn't received until the 11th September 2010, they have said I need to call the undersigned immediately but there is no signature & no name apart from Welcome Finance & last but not least their figures

 

They said I need to pay £703.05 within 14 days.....what on earth is this for though as this is the first piece of correspondence I've received since the statement in April

 

More worryingly though is their "Payments to be made" figures, which I've listed below:

 

Total Amount Outstanding £7239.25

Rebate of Acceptance Fee & Credit Charges* (£3.92)

Rebate of Insurance* (£42.23)

Collection Fees £0.00

Default Interest £0.00

Interest to Settlement £4451.26

Total Amount to be Paid £11644.36

 

*Rebate is calculated on the assumption that payment is made on the date shown and will be revised if payment in full is not made on that date

 

They are threatening other action to get their money back, which is fine but I don't agree to paying for extras

 

Are these figures right? I was happy to increase my payment back up to £250 a month then increase again towards the end of next year to settle the debt but at this rate it will never be finished

 

I apologise for the long thread but I just want to know how to deal with this, I got rid of my HFC loan in March & they ripped me off & now it looks like history is repeating itself

 

Thanks in advance

 

Kerry

On their main letter it says:

 

You are hereby served under section 87 (1) of the Consumer Credit Act with the attached Default Notice. We intend to exercise our rights to enforce collection unless you clear the arrears within fourteen (14 days) or alternatively contact us with your proposals of settlement

 

Then on the default notice it says:

 

To remedy the breach you must pay us the total arrears of £703.05 within fourteen (14 days)

If they terminate the agreement on the strength of that default notice all you will have to pay is the arrears up to the default notice

 

the rest of the balance will be unenforceable

 

but dont tell them that

 

it only works in court

 

SAYING 14 DAYS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

 

A NUMERICAL DATE TO RECTIFY THE DEFAULT NEEDS TO BE INSERTED

That's very, very good advice so I'll definately keep quiet

 

So what would normally happen now in regards to them contacting? Will it be passed to a DCA or do they serve me court papers? I get so confused

 

They really aren't a nice company, I thought HFC were bad enough as ended up paying them close to £20k over 7 years. Luckily that's finished & waiting to get my PPI back & even that company hasn't been great

The norm is it gets passed to a dca called cl finance or lewis

 

welcomes parent company cattles own these companies

 

cattles is going under so who knows at the moment who will get the debt

 

i very much doubt court papers will be served, not at the moment and if they are it will be quite easy to defend

Still no post or response to previous emails sent received from Welcome Finance but this last week receiving high volume of calls from 2 numbers

 

Did a Google search & 1 number is Welcome Finance Collections number & no voicemail left & the 2nd number is Lewis Group, voicemail left with a number to call but no company name or info on what the call is in relation to......think the 2 are connected

Well, well, well.........

 

I actually received an email back in response to the 5th one I've sent

 

It's from a lady called Claire Hearst from Cattles

 

All it said was "Hi, Please could you send more information, i.e agreement number or full address so can locate your account. Regards"

 

Let's see what they reply with & also, who are cattles?
