    • 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.

Hi all,

wonder if anyone can help.

I have found myself in a payday loan hell. i have 13 different payday loans and have set up 12 different payment plans all on e-mail and agreed.

 

the problem im having is with
minicredit i took a loan out with them last month and they are not listening and do not want to set up a payment plan. I have been e-mailing them asking to set up a payment plan but are getting nowhere. i asked them to put a hold on all charges and interest but as you can imagine they will not and its going up each day.

should i call trading standards? and ombudsmen? any help would be much
appreciated.

Hi, i wouldnt say getting the ombudsman involved at this stage would help at all. I would say that you have been looking into bankruptcy as the situation is so bad and would like to pay them off before the order comes into effect. This might scare them into accepting a plan and i think its worth a try, give them a decent offer and see what happens, keep us posted...

The fact is if they can't access your funds they will have to negotiate otherwise they don't get paid. I have not seen much of this lot but they are known for being quite rude on the phone. You may have to play a waiting game with then until they are reasonable with you. They can add what they like to the loan but does not mean you have to agree and pay it. I doubt they will go to court to try and enforce it.

They may be, but how will they enforce it if you refuse to pay? Most of these companies will back down and agree a fair settlement. The loan plus a months interest is often considered reasonable. If they go to court you can demonstrate to the judge that you have tried to be reasonable.

 

Personally I would tell them (in writing) that you do not accept their charges/interest and will not pay until you reach agreement. Keep records of all e-mails letters etc.

 

Personally I would say see them in court if they wish - not for everyone of course.

Yes got same problem with these, they seem to ignore every email I send, or if I get a reply its is an automated one. Received a letter from them yesterday saying they were sending round a door step collector between 26th and 2nd November 2010 and charged me £100 for the pleasure!!!!:-x I have sent theym so many emails I have lost count, also one stating that I do not give permission for them to attend my property. I have been making token payments but not even an acknowledgement of these. Oh well I least I know I have made every attempt to try and resolve this. ****ing hard work tho!!!

thanks for the help guys,

 

got an e-mail from these people last week stating they will get doorstop collectors involved.

 

sent a few e-mails now but still no reply

 

They can send who they like round, doesn't mean you have to talk to them. Very unlikely anyone will turn up and if they do tell em to get lost. As for the charge just refuse to pay it.

They are NOT allowed to charge for sending a doorstep collector round, the collector has no legal standing and can be told to go away.

 

These need reporting to the OFT because charging for debt collecting or counselling is against their guidelines.

You can challenge the amount they claim by defending the original sum borrowed and one months rolllover fee, it won't 100% be a CCJ if you defend, odds on they will run away at allocation stage or even discontinue their claim completely. It has happened quite a bit on this site.

 

You MUST defend a CCJ claim against you, it takes away THEIR only power over you and makes them think twice....
