    • Are these the important pages I need to upload ? 1.  pages 1-4 are court form 10a 2.  2 pages of the CCA agreement  3.  Default notice from NewDay, 22/02/20 4.   Lowell letter stating they own debt ,     Dated 16/11/20 5. Unheaded letter also dated 16/11/20 from NewDay saying they assigned “all of the respective rights etc,”  to Lowell on 23/10/20 I make this 9 relevant pages from what I can see   ( all other pages are statements/default notes and lots of FCA info sheets) just needing your confirmation in advance as I don’t want to send over pages that are not required thank you  UCM      
    • Just out of curiosity aesmith - are you a lawyer?
    • I spoke to a pro-bono entity this afternoon.  They advise I must initiate a claim in the court v the receiver if I want to then file an application for an order for sale.  I must have a claim/ proceedings to be able to force a sale. The judge in the current proceedings  has told me that I cannot force the lender to sell and the lender cannot interfere either.   If the receiver isn't acting correctly and isn't selling - this means I must make a claim against the receiver I could initiate a claim. Or much quicker  - the other entity - with a charge already - could use that to make an application for an order for sale.
    • Thanks Dave It's not too far away, about 8 or 9 miles, so I will probably venture over on my bike if I can't think of a good reason to drive there again! I'll have a chat with Mrs GB_Joe tomorrow and see which shops they visited, I know M&S was on the list (had to try on multiple sets of trousers!) and they are actually in that bit of retail park. The uniform shop is across the way in the Meridian Centre, so probably not helpful to get them involved.
    • As they have failed to deliver their original PCN you will need to send them an SAR where they should provide that PCN. It should show the address they used . If it is not your current one that would explain the non delivery. If it was correct then perhaps the Post office messed up. A more cynical view would be that UKPC didn't send it so that you couldn't claim the reduction. It appears that UKPC have been there for some time  but I have been unable to find any pictures of their Notices.The leisure park itself is pretty big so while some parts maybe give 5 hours free parking other parts may have restrictions like permits. I haven't been there for years -I went  to Nandos and the bowling centre . I am surprised that they are now infested with UKPC as the place is plenty big enough not to require their dubious services. If you live not to far away it would help if you could get some legible pictures of their signs. Be carful to park in an area that doesn't require a permit and take photos of the entrance signs, the five hour sign and the permit only sign as well as any other signs that are different from the previous signs. Also if their is a payment machine could you please photograph that.

    • 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.

Couldn't see any other threads on these.

 

I have just had my new scottishpower smart meters for gas and electric installed today.

 

No more meter readings and are checked every two years for safety.

 

I have to wait a couple of days and can go online and check my usage whenever I want to so looking forward to that.

 

It says has lots of tips online when i am using it.

Hi Ida

 

I see your up to speed with the latest technology. Surely this must compare with being the first to get an iPhone? 8-)

 

Remember I am here if you have any questions about your new meters. Hopefully these will be great for you and you can say goodbye to estimated statements.

 

Kind Regards

Lets hope they are accurate & reliable ...

 

Are there any built-in 'features' like the utility company being able to convert them to a pre-pay meter, load debts & rates etc?

 

Does the gas meter have to be plugged in to the electricity supply & if so, how much electricity does it consume & who pays for it. (It may be pence per customer but thousands per supplier). Does the electricity meter also consume some of the power that it is measuring or does it take its supply from 'before the meter'?

 

Not my idea of an iphone equivalent but whatever floats your boat ...

 

Will all SP customers be getting one of these new meters?

Absolutely brilliant. These SMART meters are the best thing since bubble gum. They don't require any one to visit your premises except to fix the meter or safety check and your bills are spot on. Also you can carry on paying a fixed DD every month instead of your bill flucuating every month. They can also remotely reprogram the meter.

Best of all it does not cost you anything extra. If any one has a business this is the best type of metering to have and also stops energy companies ripping you off because they couldn't be bothered to do a reading once every two years.

Hi 2Grumpy

 

Firstly, welcome to ScottishPower.

 

Have a look at the link below for further information on the Smart Meters:

 

http://www.scottishpower.co.uk/support-centre/energy-efficiency/smart-metering.aspx

 

Estimated accounts have always been a huge issue for customer's as they want to pay for gas and electricity that they have used. These new smart meters will eliminate estimated accounts. This is a huge bonus straight away. On top of this the meter will be able to provide the consumer with information on the consumption being used which will in turn help the consumer budget. Smart meters are without a doubt the future for the industry to help both the utility company to bill customers accurately and to help customers be more energy efficient. I believe that the meters can also be upgraded and so are future proof as well. It not my area of expertise at the moment but I should be able to point you in the right direction if you have any further queries.

 

Customer's pay a daily standing charge to cover the maintenance of the meter (same for all older meters as well), if you are on a no standing charge tariff, then this will be recovered through the Primary rate on your tariff. This has always been the case.

 

I hope that information I have provided has been helpful. Please let me know if you have any further questions and I will be more than happy to assist.

 

Kind Regards

 

Colin @ ScottishPower

Why should paying custoemrs subsidise those that do n ot pay? Utilities are priority debts along with mortgage payments etc BTW they cannot disconnect you at the touch of a button. They still need to get a court warrant as it is bad debt so you will get loads of warnings before it proceeds to that stage.

I do know the process the utilities companies have to do before cutting some one off,but No can predict what the law going to be in 10 or 20 years from now................

Colin,

 

some feedback -

 

when trying to register yur account online you HAVE to chose another tarriff

 

Now there wasn't that much info on them and i did not really want to change at that point until i could get all the info but basically had too to get online and the option i was on was not option to stay.

 

I would have preferred to stay on what i was until i could try and work out if it would benefit me or not

Hi Ida

 

Thank you for the feedback. I was given information from the Smart Metering team but checked it myself and needed additional information to identify how the online account is created for you. I have been advised that you will require an online account before you can assess the Online Web Portal. Once the online account is created for you, you should then be able to go to "My Online Energy Tracker" to view your consumption.

 

What tariff were you previously on? You should have been able to create an online account and remain on your current tariff. Have you been disadvantaged by changing tariff?

 

Kind Regards

 

Colin

Thanks Colin,

 

That's the problem - i just don't know - i eventually opt for the online standard and i was on the premeir plus (both gas and electric) but cannot find out how to compare them ir the other packages 0 you only got a very little few lines of each of the choices and was bamboozled.

Hi IdaInFife

 

If you changed from Premier Plus to Standard then you have changed from monthly Direct Debit to quarterly cash. I don't imagine you would want to do this if you are happy paying by Direct Debit (its also cheaper). All you need is an online account but you can remain on your previous tariff no problem. I would contact us and ask that you are placed back onto the online equivalent of your previous tariff. I can also arrange this for you if you like. Just send me your details to [email protected].

 

Kind Regards

Hi Ida

 

More information just given to me this second regarding how to access the Online Energy Tracker.

 

- Log onto www.scottishpower.co.uk

- Select My Account Tab (should be selected by both existing and new online customers)

- If new online customer (e.g. not already Online Energy) customer will be required to select “Register to manage your account online”

- Customer is then required to enter account number & postcode (there is also an option to select paperless billing)

- Customer should complete registration process, confirming email address and password

- Customers should then return to My Account tab

- Input email address and then password

- Customer is then navigated to My Online Energy Account and should select “My Online Energy Tracker”

- Online Web Portal will be displayed

 

Where the customer is Online and Smart meter has been installed this will automatically become an available option on the menu.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Kind Regards

I read on the front page of the Daily Express (31 March 2011) that energy companies would add a further £434 to our bills in order to pay for their smart meters! Can Colin at Scottish Power advise if this is what they are going to charge us and if not, who is funding the cost of the implementtation of smart metering? According to the Department of Energy and Climate Change smart meters will save homes £23 a year from 2020 and around £42 by 2030. This does not seem much of a cost saving to me if the utility companies are going to charge us up to £434 to recoup the costs of smart meter implementation.
