    • Your consumer rights within six months If a product develops a fault within the first six months after purchase, it’s assumed it has been there since the time of purchase. This means it’s up to the retailer to prove it wasn’t there when you bought it. If a repair or replacement has failed, you have the right to reject the goods for a full refund or price reduction. Your consumer rights after six months If a fault develops after six months, it’s up to you to prove it was faulty at the time of purchase or delivery.   .
    • Thank Dx , Im guessing its a waiting game for now .
    • Hey Fkofile , Im one of those that have been affected by it ! i made a post about it . my credit score has already been affected by it .
    • We initially raised a complaint with the finance company who told us that as its over 6 months the consumer rights act won’t apply and we would need to provide evidence of the problem being there at purchase. As we have only just got the report from Mercedes we haven’t been able to submit this within their 14 day timeframe. Is this not the case then? Thanks

    • 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 a long lasting problem with EON re a bill that was not correct,

 

I even complained some time ago re this situation and my complaint was upheld and yet the company still forwarded me letters and bills for electricity I had never had.

 

Some months have passed and I receive another letter stating that they are passing my invoice onto a collections agency to claim what I owe.

 

Once again I call them and explain for the 100th time that I am willing to pay for my gas as I do not owe for electric and when I receive a bill for the gas only I am willing to pay it.

 

The guy I spoke to (all written down) promises to sort it out and send me my final gas bill, I have a question now if anyone can help me.

 

because I am on benefits every penny is calculated to pay bills/services etc and I agreed to pay a rather large bill to another company that does not end until the end of October this year,

I have no way of starting to pay this bill over 4 payments from the end of November until end February 2012.

 

Can anyone advise me on this please as I simply have no money at all available until November and I cannot take it from any other bill or food money as my food money is already as low as I can go without starving.

 

I just don’t want to be in a situation that I am taken to court for this amount, also if they had not taken months to send me the correct bill I would have been able to pay several months ago

before I decided to pay off another bill which I cannot get out of now until its finished by the end of October.

 

Regards

though you knew you owed 'something' so p'haps should have budgetted for it?

 

what are these other bills?

 

utility bills are a PRIORITY bill and should take preference over most other bills bar rent/ctax/mortgage.

 

p'haps we need to help on these other debts?

who are they with?

 

dx

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi dx100uk,

 

Yes of course re budget -) I took a chance on time when I thought I had the oppertunity to pay off another bill lol

 

I no longer use EON at my new address this bill refers to my old address bill so I am no reliant on them for my energy at the moment.

 

My other bills I owe have been agreed now and end in November so I am not going to change those, I will look to see if there is anything I can sell to settle the bill when it comes however I just wondered if there was some way I could make them wait for a couple of months without causing problems as after November I am more on an even keel.

 

Regards

Hi bbest

 

It's important you talk to us about this.

 

As it looks as though there's an ongoing complaint on the electricity account, I suggest dealing with our Director's Office. Contact details are on your bills.

 

An individual agent will take ownership of the complaint and deal directly with you, escalating to senior management if necessary.

 

They will also discuss a payment arrangement with you in respect of the impending gas bill.

 

As I say, talk to us about this otherwise debt action will continue.

 

Hope this points you in the right direction bbest. Give me a shout if I can help further as happy to do so.

Hi Malc,

 

Thanks for your reply. This situation has been ongoing now since March this year because of this electricity charge that does not belong to me. My complaint to EON was upheld in my favor but then they stated they could not provide me with a final bill for the gas until I had received a letter from the provider I had been using on a pay as you go electric meter in my previous address which turned out to be British gas. (I never knew because I bought my electricity vouchers from my then landlord)

I waited and waited and no contact from British gas and then August this year I received a letter from EON stating they are taking me to court for the full amount which included the electric charge.

I telephoned again ( a written record of all calls made to the company have been made as and when) and this time I told them if they did not get to me a final bill for the outstanding gas alone I was going to see a solicitor because I had had enough. They promised to get a bill out to me ASAP and a week later I am still waiting.

Now the reason for my original post concerning repayments to EON was because I took a chance when they were not sorting this bill out to make an agreement with another company I owed money to after a move of address and this ends the middle of October but as I am on benefits this took every available spare penny I had to pay off this other bill quickly.

So I became worried about receiving this EON bill quickly and then not having the money to pay straight away.

Option 1 would be to offer £10.00 a month during September/October (and this is difficult because it will be taken out of my food budget which is already very low, then in November to January next year pay £20 a month after the other bill is paid off in October.

Option 2 explain I have no money until November and offer the £20 an month from that time which will then end February 2012.

I owe £80.00 or thereabouts.

I have never owed an energy company any money or an outstanding bill in this way so I need to know what I can practicably organize with EON in case they do not accept what I am saying about repayments when I receive this bill.

If you can help me with dealing with this I would be grateful because I get so worried about money but do not like to owe money and have never run away from my bills. I have worked all my life and only lately find myself in this position for the first time in my life so I need them to understand I am doing my best as I certainly do not want to end up in court as after all it was me who provided them with the final reading, new address and telephone numbers in the first place lol.

And finally -) the above is all based on the truism that they have actually sorted this problem out with my final bill and that it is on its way to me as I type, as if not I will require assistance on how to resolve this once and for all.

 

Warms Regards

Hi bbest

 

Can I just ask, was the complaint you refer to upheld by Ofgem or was it something we dealt with internally?

 

If Ofgem upheld the complaint, then this will be with a particular department and you need to talk directly to them. Contact details will be on the relevant documentation.

 

If it's not reached the Ofgem stage yet, then please let me have the details through the PM function and I'll be happy to take a look for you.

 

Malc
