    • 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.

Hi all,

 

Any idea how I can respond to this?

 

I sent them a statute barred letter mid- November. I didn't get a response at all, so sent them a s.10 Data Protection Act letter because the Capone debt is statute barred as far as I am concerned and they haven't proven otherwise. I got this in the post today...

I haven't paid a penny on this debt for years...the original debt doesn't even appear on my credit file at all any more. Plus, they haven't provided any proof that it isn't statute barred either. The absolute latest I would have paid anything would have been first half of 2002. So as far as I'm concerned it is SB and they aren't providing proof of anything else. I guess it is possibly it wasn't SB when they sent their 'assignment' letter, but I've never responded to anything from them until the SB letter I sent last month. I've only just taken my head out of the sand so know I wouldn't have contacted them!

 

Is there a letter I can send them to tell them they are talking nonsense?

 

All they have on my CRA are searches at present, and while I would like to get rid of this info I would also like them to remove me from their system which is my main aim.

If this is SB, and you would like to make them flap about and get all girlie like the camp bunch of big Jessies that they are, sue them for all damages under s.14 DPA.

 

If you're up for it, let me know. I'll be doing the same after Crimbo.

I've had a go at a letter - I'm really not sure what I need to say, but can someone take a ook and see what they think please?

 

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY NOR ANY COMPANY YOU REPRESENT

 

To Whom It May Concern;

 

Thank you for your letter date XX December 2008, the contents of which are noted.

 

I understand that you have used the Law of Property Act 1925 to assert your right to process my information, therefore refusing to comply with my s.10 Data Protection Act request.

 

However, I cannot agree with your decision.

 

On XX November 2008 I wrote to you stating that I believed the debt that you allege is owed by me is, in by belief, subject to the Limitation Act 1980 section 5. I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your convenience. To date you have failed to provide me with any proof that this is not the case, either through proof of a payment or written acknowledgement by myself for the alleged debt within the last 6 years.

 

As such, I believe that you are pursuing me for a debt that is Statute Barred and are processing information regarding myself without necessity.

 

I have received no Notice of Assignment from you and you have failed to provide proof of any such Notice.

 

I therefore believe that you have no right whatsoever to process my information for any reason. You must stop processing my data immediately (as outlined in my s.10 Data Protection Act letter dated XX December 2008 and attached to this letter for your convenience).

 

If you do not comply with my request within the given timescales I will have no option but to pursue Court action in order to force you to comply with my request. Furthermore, I shall lodge complaints with Trading Standards and the OFT against you.

Letter Before Action

I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ANY DEBT TO YOUR COMPANY NOR ANY COMPANY YOU REPRESENT

 

Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for your letter date XX December 2008, the contents of which are noted.

 

You have erroneously quoted the Law of Property Act 1925 to assert your right to process my information. You will be well aware that the use of personal data is regulated by the Data Protection Act 1984/98

 

However, I cannot agree with your decision.

 

On XX November 2008 I wrote to you stating that I believed the debt that you allege is owed by me is, in by belief, subject to the Limitation Act 1980 section 5. I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your convenience. To date you have failed to provide me with any proof that this is not the case, either through proof of a payment or written acknowledgement by myself for the alleged debt within the last 6 years.

You will further be aware that the the onus to prove the alleged debt is not Statute Barred rests with you.

 

 

I believe that you are unlawfully harassing me for payment of an alledged debt that is Statute Barred and assert that you are unlawfully processing information regarding myself without consent.

 

I have received no Notice of Assignment from you and you have failed to provide proof of any such Notice.

 

I therefore believe that you have no right whatsoever to process my information for any reason. You will stop processing my data immediately (as outlined in my s.10 Data Protection Act letter dated XX December 2008 and attached to this letter for your convenience).

 

If you do not comply with my request within the given timescales I will have no option but to pursue Court action in order to enforce compliance with my request and make a claim for all damages suffered.

I reserve the right to draw the judge's attention to this letter and your letter dated xx xxxxxxx should the opportunity arise.

Yours, blah blah.....

Well, I just had a nosey round my checkmyfile website - it had taken them a few days to pull together everything from my past addresses.

 

Lowell have 2 defauts on my account - according to them I defaulted some time in 2004 which is nonsense. Capone (OC) aren't showing on the credit file at all, and I know I've not paid anything for a very long time - WAY before 2004 - and they haven't proven that it isn't statute barred yet. What is MOST disturbing is that the exact same info appears TWICE, as entries C4 AND C6 on my credit file. I don't know if this is a mistake on the CRA site, because one from Cabot also appears twice, but they are the only 2 that ARE like that. All the other defaults and satisfied I have on my CRA file are singles. So, where I should have 8 entries on my file, I have 10, and the Lowell ones will be there for at least another 2 years from the looks of things and they keep doing searche son me.

 

What is worse, is that they have defaulted me for an amount which is DOUBLE what the credit limit of the card originaly was when i went wrong! So at least half of that amount is charges!

 

Now, I don't exactly have a wonderful credit file, but surely the 2 from Lowell would have had an affect anyway! Can't be right?!

 

Does this change the letter I should write?

Last thing to double check before I send off my LBA...

 

The defaults against me were issued four years ago, by Lowell, when the debt would not have been statute barred. It is statute barred NOW though. Does the fact the default was issued when it wasn't statute barred make any difference to them refusing to remove the defaults etc?

After sending Red a letter statinng I believed a debt was statute barred AND sending them another letter informing them they had to stop processing my data under s10 of the data protection act, they are still going. The time limit for replying to my s10 is now up and I'd like to send them an LBA for this but cannot find one.

 

They also just sent me a letter stating that they were going to take me to court and make me bankrupt for the debt! I've written a letter I am happy with in response to that, but really need the LBA for court action to make them stop processing my data.

 

Is there one about I've just missed?

Can't help with the LBA but i wanted to sub to your thread because I'm going through the same thing with the leeds losers.

They have also refused to stop processing my data and remove the default so I sent them a strongly worded letter but haven't got a reply yet.

Lowells have refused - same debt - also. I sent them an LBA, but because they had responded and used the Law of Property Act to argue that they could process my data, I had something to reply to. I need more like a general LBA for non-compliance.

 

Hopefully someone will be along soon. Can get these off tomorrow then.

This sounds very weird. Can you expand on this, pretty please:).

I really do appreciate all those 'thank you' emails - I'm glad I've been able to help. Apologies if I haven't acknowledged all of them.

You can also ding my gong if you prefer. :)

LETTER BEFORE ACTION

SECTION 10 – DATA PROTECTION ACT

Dear Sir/Madam

Re: Your Reference:

On Xth December, 2008 I wrote to you with a section 10 Data Protection Act request to stop processing my data. I have enclosed a copy of this letter for your convenience, which clearly stipulates my request and my reasoning.

This letter gave you a maximum of 21 days to write to me either informing me that you had ceased processing my data, or giving a detailed explanation as to your decision to continue processing my data.

To date you have not replied to my letter in any way and the 21 days I allowed you have passed. I have electronic proof of delivery that you received my request on Xth December, 2008.

If you do not comply with my request within 14 days I will have no option but to pursue Court action in order to enforce compliance with my request and make a claim for all damages suffered.

 

I reserve the right to draw the judge's attention to this letter and your letter dated Xth December, 2008 should the opportunity arise.

Regards,
