    • Thanks for your reply, I have another 3 weeks before the notice ends. I'm also concerned because the property has detoriated since I've been here due to mould, damp and rusting (which I've never seen in a property before) rusty hinges and other damage to the front door caused by damp and mould, I'm concerned they could try and charge me for damages? As long as you've documented and reported this previously you'll have a right to challenge any costs. There was no inventory when I moved in, I also didn't have to pay a deposit. Do an inventory when you move out as proof of the property's condition as you leave it. I've also been told that if I leave before a possession order is given I would be deemed intentionally homeless, is this true? If you leave, yes. However, Your local council has a legal obligation to ensure you won't be left homeless as soon as you get the notice. As stated before, you don't have to leave when the notice expires if you haven't got somewhere else to go. Just keep paying your rent as normal. Your tenancy doesn't legally end until a possession warrant is executed against you or you leave and hand the keys back. My daughter doesn't live with me, I'd likely have medical priority as I have health issues and I'm on pip etc. Contact the council and make them aware then.      
    • extension? you mean enforcement. after 6yrs its very rare for a judge to allow enforcement. it wont have been sold on, just passed around the various differing trading names the claimant uses.    
    • You believe you have cast iron evidence. However, all they’d have to do to oppose a request for summary judgment is to say “we will be putting forward our own evidence and the evidence from both parties needs to be heard and assessed by a judge” : the bar for summary judgment is set quite high! You believe they don't have evidence but that on its own doesn't mean they wouldn't try! so, its a high risk strategy that leaves you on the hook for their costs if it doesn't work. Let the usual process play out.
    • Ok, I don't necessarily want to re-open my old thread but I've seen a number of such threads with regards to CCJ's and want to ask a fairly general consensus on the subject. My original CCJ is 7 years old now and has had 2/3 owners for the debt over the years since with varying level of contact.  Up to last summer they had attempted a charging order on a shared mortgage I'm named on which I defended that action and tried to negotiate with them to the point they withdrew the charging order application pending negotiations which we never came to an agreement over.  However, after a number of communication I heard nothing back since last Autumn barring an annual generic statement early this year despite multiple messages to them since at the time.  at a loss as to why the sudden loss of response from them. Then something came through from this site at random yesterday whilst out that I can't find now with regards to CCJ's to read over again.  Now here is the thing, I get how CCJ's don't expire as such, but I've been reading through threads and Google since this morning and a little confused.  CCJ's don't expire but can be effectively statute barred after 6 years (when in my case was just before I last heard of the creditor) if they are neither enforced in that time or they apply to the court within the 6 years of issue to extend the CCJ and that after 6 years they can't really without great difficulty or explanation apply for a CCJ extension after of the original CCJ?.  Is this actually correct as I've read various sources on Google and threads that suggest there is something to this?.

    • 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 I have had the same problem with glocate. Ordered 28 Jan with debit card, money taken a few days later. Recieved email with ref No. but no further contact despite emails & tel ( no reply ) asking for a delivery date. My wife found this site today and I have now contacted bank fraud dep. they said I would need to wait 30 days.

Then I contacted actionfraud.org.uk. They are aware of this company and have now given me a crime Number.

 

I have contacted the bank again and given them the crime number so that they can now take action straight away.

I will post updates when I get more info

 

Thanks for info on this site & actionfraud.org.uk

My bank were excellent (First Direct). I paid on Visa fortunately and the bank refunded almost instantly when I contacted them. They also rang a couple of weeks ago to inform me that GoLocate had refunded them. Unfortunately, because thecompany appears to have gone out of business, fairly pointless in starting small claims court proceedings for the difference between what I had to pay to a local supplier (with the December price hike) compared to what I had been quoted at the same time as my quotation from GoLocate.

Hello Sailor,

 

Given the circumstances, just be v happy you got the refund so quickly.

 

I'm not sure if GoLocateFuel are still in business or not. There's been very little said about them closing so any confirmation would be good.

 

Even if they were still in business, claiming against GLF for the price difference may not be as straightforward as you think. It would really depend on whether you had a contract with them to supply at a specified price and time. They appear to avoid making such undertakings as past of their Modus Operandi.

Thanks for that. I was reaching the conclusion that it was reaching the too difficult category. Guess it has to be put down to an expensive lesson! Problem is that with the hikes in fuel prices, people are trying to find the best deals and that leaves them open to apparently unscrupulous companies. The irritation is that I tried them as they were recommended on a well-known money saving site - I notice they have now, at last, been deleted from it!

Wish I'd seen all this before! Have reported the company to trading standards and at actionfraud.org.uk. Have also rated the website as potentially dangerous at Norton (symantec). Amazingly it is still a Google sponsored ad - will contact them later today! Here's wishing everyone luck in getting their money back.

Hi Yddets and welcome to CAG.

 

Contact your bank's fraud dep't tomorrow and confirm that you need to stop GoLocateFuel taking any money from your a/c.

 

Confirm that you've just discovered there are many customers who have experienced the same problems and if there is not fraud involved, then the company is certainly very bad at what they do.

 

If they are still in business, you should ensure they cannot take money from your bank under the consent given last month.

 

I would also, as a precaution, tell the bank you need a new card to be issued.

Re Golocate.

I contacted my bank fraud department on the 19 Feb 2011 to report Golocate problems. They sent forms to claim return of money.

On Friday 4 March I recieved a letter to say they are in touch with Golocates bank, and have now credited the money back to my account.

They have said that Golocates bank may also refund the money, then my bank would, of course, reclaim the money they had credited.

It is possible Golocate could deliver the fuel ( very doubtful )

I have to say Lloydstsb have been very helpfull and kept me informed.

A big thanyou to CAG and other users for advice.

Hi Yddets - you're very welcome and let us know how you get on.

 

 

 

Hi DastardlyDog - This is excellent news and I'm very pleased that your money has been refunded.

 

I have to say it is very good to see here how often the banks have been pro-active and prompt in getting money back for their customers.

 

If they could get a few of their Fraud Resolution team to go and work in Customer Relations or Customer Services, things might just change for the better !!

The number quoted in post #17 is for an alternative supplier (Home Fuels Direct) who is not connected with GLF

Dear members of the Consumer Action Group,

 

I am the Managing Director of Homefuels Direct Ltd and I can see from many post made to this website there are a lot of concerned Go Locate Customers and I understand entirely the worries and anger especially when there have been many people who have paid money for fuel and have not received anything.

 

I would like to make clear the position of Homefuels Direct with relation to Go Locate Fuels, We Homefuels Direct were a supplier to Go Locate Fuels of which there were many suppliers that they used. I would like to clarify that we no longer supply to Go Locate Fuel because of the position they find themselves in.

 

It is important that I confirm that Homefuels Direct is a completely separate business and has no management links to Go Locate Fuel we were merely a supplier to a business that has come into hard times and cannot be held responsible for the errors of Go Locate Fuels.

 

I hope that I have clarified our position and alleviated any concerns that people may have about Homefuels Direct, we are a reputable online fuel supplier with a huge focus on customer service.

 

Yours Sincerely

 

Christopher Bicknell

Hi HFD (Chris Bicknell),

 

I see now that someone published your phone number at post #17, as a means of contacting you (as the supplier) direct, thus avoiding GLF.

 

Then post #116 made the wrong assumption that the 2 companies were connected.

 

So, as you say, there is no connection between you and GLF and thank you for clarifying this.
