    • wont go near it with a barge pole as its ex gov't debt.  
    • Thanks, I've had my fill of this lot. What makes me so mad is that I had to take out student loan to get any DHSS help. And then when I tried to help myself and family they presented obstacles. Might be worth passing story to RIP off Britain?
    • there is NO exposure if you simple remove your name address/ref numbers etc from docs, over 10'000 pdf uploads are here. which then harvests IP addresses off of the people that then do so..which is why we do not allow hosting sites. read our rules and upload carefully thats exactly why we say capture as JPG, redact, then convert/merge to one mass PDF. then online sites to achieve that we list do not leave watermarks.  every once in a while we have a user like you that thinks they know better...we've been doing it since 2006 with not one security issue. thank you.
    • was at the time you ticked it  but now they've still not complied . if you read up, here , you'll see thats what everyone does,  
    • no they never allow the age related get out, erudio are masters at faking supposed 'arrears' fees which were levied before said date and thus null its write off. 1000's of threads here on them!! scammers untied that lot. i can almost guarantee they'll state it's not SB'd too re above, but just ignore them once sent. dx

    • 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.

I'm in desperate need of advice! I have arrears for both gas and electric mostly due to estimated bills and really can't pay what I owe in one lump sum as I am on a very low income (not benefits).

 

I received a letter from British Gas last week for my electricity bill of £373 that said they would be applying to the courts for a warrant of entry to access my property in 2 weeks time unless I make immediate payment in full. Today I received another letter saying the same but this time for my gas account for the amount of £596.

 

I made a payment of £100 off each bill at the end of October which I hoped would keep them happy for at least a little while but obviously it didnt! :|

 

I have worked out my annual usage and from this my weekly electric usage is almost £14 and gas is £16 so here is my question...

 

I can, at a stretch, offer to pay £25-30 a week off each bill to cover usage and pay off the arrears and plan to write to them (and send by recorded delivery) my offer of a payment plan but will they/do they have to accept this rather than go ahead with court proceedings? I am going to start making the payments I am offering as of today rather than wait for a reply - that way if it does still goes to court I can show I am making an effort to pay the amount I owe.

 

I really don't want a prepayment meter if I can help it after having one at my last address so any advice about if I am going about this the right way or not would be most appreciated!! :-D

Hi wanda

 

Welcome to CAG

 

If you qualify ask to be put on the Warm Home Discount Scheme:- http://www.britishgas.co.uk/products-and-services/energy/our-tariffs/warm-home-discount-scheme.html Ring them first, explain that you want to pay this monies, can you pay in installments.

Anything you agree, send a letter include names of people you have spoken too with extension numbers, send Recorded.

 

Also see if the trust can help with some of the debt:- http://www.britishgasenergytrust.org.uk/how_to_apply/index.html

Thank you rebel11!

It doesn't look like I am eligible for the Warm Home Discount Scheme.

 

I applied to the British Gas Energy Trust earlier this year but after checking it looks like I can apply again as it's been over 6 months and I wasn't successful last time (although I'm not sure why). I'l submit a new application in the morning when I can see my gas meter in daylight!!

just wanted to check something if you can help..

 

When I applied for help from the British Gas Energy Trust earlier this year my gas and electric accounts were put on hold until they had made their decision. Would still be this be the case this time seeing as things have got as far as they have?

 

I do hope so as this would give me more time to make regular payments without the threat of disconnection!! :-)
