    • 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.

Basically its only £230 but its the principle + need a new van so this would really come in handy towards that. Wrote asking for the money back they declined, wrote again threatening court again a big fat no and a copy of the ombudsman book. They state that complaint has now been closed.

 

Should I now put in a claim with the small claims online or is there a way of encouraging them to pay otherwise?

 

I gather egg dont tend to do refunds. All are £16 standard default charges, dont know if this makes a difference?

 

Any advice on my best route would be much appreciated :)

Egg have called your bluff intending to test your mettle during the current hard times for them, but you can call their bluff.

 

01 weeks - 30 APR 2007 - WINNING TEMPLATE LETTER - Eggmail then 2-day payout - moc1982 v Egg

 

This is the question Egg do not want you to ask in court. When you give notice you will ask it they will not face you in court, likely to cave in and refund at the last minute.

Thanks Mastermind.

Can I just mail them a new message even though I have already issued the court papers?

And I guess i'm now asking for the court fee aswell.

 

Also as all my charges are £16 I guess theres no need to mention the £20 charges?.

 

Sorry if i'm sounding a bit dum here, its my first time of going through court and I dont wanna screw things up. :)

No harm at all writing to Egg, but address it to the attention of their General Manager. No need to mention £20 charge not appicable in your case. No harm telling Egg that WHEN, NOT IF you go to court to meet their £1000-per-day barrister you will be claiming extra for your own court fees.

 

Without question Egg management know about the thread below. Egg have given in 121 times, they are not going to change now. If you demonstrate your resolution, and make clear that you know they know you know they will give in and refund, it would be pointless for them to waste time and indulge in brinkmanship. Best to get paid without hassle, but if hassle they want, hassle they can have -- in court.

Right they have till sunday to acknowledge the summons. I have sent a secure message along the lines of the above.

 

Looking good for default at the moment.

 

Not received a direct response to my email although I did get a reply from customer services saying they had forwarded to the general manager.

I won a default claim against Egg last week, they failed to acknowledge.

Judgement was issued on tuesday so I presume they will of received this.

 

Can anyone advise me on what happens now?, I presume they should just pay me, but this sounds to easy to me.

 

Do I write to them direct or what?

Any advice anyone would care to offer?

 

:confused:

I think in the judgement, it gives them x amount of days to pay up and the amount. If they have failed to pay within the time, then phone the court and they will advise you on the next step, which I think will be them sending their bailiffs in to collect the money for you.

If they dont pay up within the 28 days then they get a marker on there credit referance file which they wont care about but if after the 28 days then you can cause them no end of problems like applying to the courts to have there bank accounts frozen and sending baliffs in with a camera crew present.

That sounds fun.

 

Tell me if i'm wrong in the following.

 

I wait 28 days and see, if they pay up I inform the court they have done so and i'm happy.

If however no payment after 28 days I could write to them and give them say 7 days or i'll get the court to send in bayliffs with some press(at this point id probably go and have a look myself).

In theory at this point they would pay up to save the trouble that would come from the press coverage.

yes and no. There is no need to give them 7 more days.

Right 28 days are up.

It is giving me an option to use another address for the warrant.

The registered office was Citigroup, Canary Wharf but it seems like they operate from Derby so would I be best off putting the Derby address in here?

Right ive finally got a spare £100 to send the bailiffs in to try and get my £250 back. Its been 6 weeks or so since I won by default.

I did the initial claim to the head office at Citi in Canary wharf, am I right in thinking I should probably use the Derby address for the bayliffs?

 

Any advice would be appreciated. :|

I did post this up a while ago but i'd just like some advice on when and if I should act.

Basically 12 months ago I had moved back to my parents for a bit(before I realised rent came before credit card interest), in July I tried to get charges back from Egg to which they declined, I then took the small claims route and won by default as they never acknowledged the summon, they have never paid the ccj.

I moved back out in october and subsequently was unable to afford the repayments, I decided to just let the debt default so to give me a chance to sort things out then look at repaying at a later point.

Ive not been in touch or made payment of any sort since january and im now getting letters and calls from Capital credit. Im at about letter 4 and its getting pretty heavy as in they mention legal action several times and say they are "undertaking validation to expedite legal proceedings".

 

Now im 5 months in arrears but they have not defaulted the account yet.

 

The figures are roughly:

 

Balance £1200

Arrears £200

 

Amount awarded against them £247

 

I guess what I was wondering is

 

A. Are they likely to do anything?(I know most threats are empty but something is just personal ab out the letter)

 

B. At what point should I contact them to arrange repayment?

 

C. At what point should I bring up the unpaid ccj? as it seems they dont have a clue, although it was done to the registered office etc.

 

D. Can I use an unpaid ccj in my defence if it went to court?

 

 

ps its a 2008 debt.

It is quite extraordinary that they have not paid the CCJ.

I would be contacting the issuing Court to find out if it was satisfied or not.

When was Judgement passed at was this against Egg banking plc ?

I would also be taking steps to enforce the judgement.

Did you take any steps to enforce this ?

I would be minded to use a HCEO.

If you are struggling,and there is not yet any default,then you should send an income and exp sheet.

If you can show you are not avoiding them,then you will be covered under regulatory protection should they be in breach of things.

I saw your other thread perhaps we need to merge this with the background.

Although Egg banking may have displayed a Derby address on their website,whilst they were in Citi hands,the head office and principle place of business and correspondence was Citi HQ at Canary Wharf-this is where all legal docs should have been served.

Barclays now own the egg portfolio and have registered the egg trading names on their consumer credit licence from May 2011.

Their HO is in London too.

Since they have kept the brand name -My thoughts are that the Warrant would need to be re-issued to Barclays HO.

Still clarifying this info tho.

They also bought Capital Credit Agencies and this too is registered on their CC licence now.
