    • 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!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.

    • 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.

My job involves a front of house role so it's nothing unusual to get a phone call asking for me by name (Contractors etc)

 

17.45 last night the phone rings . . . Conversation basically as follows

 

Me/ Good evening . . blah blah . . can I help you

 

Him/ Can I speak to Mr Revenant

 

Me/ Speaking . . how can I help

 

Him/ I'm calling from Mackenzie Hall

 

Me/ Ahhh Mack Hall . . what's this regarding

 

Pause

 

Him/ I't seems you have an outstanding balance with a company called Cabot

 

Me/ Oh them . . In that case any balance they reckon exists would be miraculous let alone outstanding

 

Him/ Sorry

 

Me/ Don't be as you can't help it

 

Him/ I don't quite understand

 

Me/ That's ok you're not paid to

 

Him/ Do you know who we are and what we do

 

Me/ Oh yes both companies have quite a following on the Consumer Action Group

 

Long pause

 

Me/ Do you like lemons

 

Him/ Pardon

 

Me/ Granted . . lets save both our time as I'm getting bored now . . put everything in writing and make

sure my phone numbers are removed from this file as I'm not allowed to take personal calls at work

. . call me again and I'll pass all your details over to the Managing Agents for this Building on the

grounds that you're making unsolicited/harassing calls . . good night

 

Him/ Ermm ok . . good night

 

Now just waiting for the letter(s) as Cabot have failed to tell Mackies that any dealings I had with them were two highly disputed accounts that they could not supply any supporting paperwork for plus of course the great letters from here tied them up . . Thanks CAG

 

One account went SB late last year and the other early this year and my CRF is now that good that Barclays gave me a credit card for being such a good customer

 

Will update as and when

ps It's not generally advisable to enter into phone conversations with DCA's unless you have the

confidence and can record the call . . in my case it's a bit of both because as I'm involved in the

Security Industry my calls are monitored

[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I asked them to wait whilst I got my Bank card :violin:

Hi Rev

 

You should report them to the OFT, it's against their guidelines to contact you at work.

 

Morning Reb

 

I will if they do it again but to be honest they may not have known it was my work number as I generally use my mobile as my point of contact and as I've been here +5yrs who knows what link they found it on

 

Regards

You always seem a busy bunny Brig and glad it gets results

 

The call was a few minutes time wasting at the end of the day whilst waiting for my night officer to arrive but if it had been during office hours he wouldn't have got the time of day

We could do with some help from you.

through every orifice and muttering

about wanting his mummy.:Cry::Cry::puke::phone:
