    • Doc 04-19-2024 11-01-51-merged-compressed.pdf good morning.    9 pages attached.    thank you  UCM
    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk 
    • Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious  An update - - I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)   - I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai)  - IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all. - i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

    • 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.

A wee update,

well, it's all go go go.

 

I honestly don't know what I was doing with my time before I found all of you.

 

I've gone all technical and can now navigate my way around my scanner...

..I've only ever used it as a printer.

 

I've spent lots of time on the blower tracking down those who may have documents relevant to my case lurking in their archives,

but more importantly, sifting out those who don't.

 

It's been a really worthwhile exercise and for the most part,

the people I have contacted have been really approachable i.e. the Sheriff Court were very helpful and offered good advice.

 

I've sent off SAR's to RBS. Nat West and Anderson Fyfe's will be mailed tomorrow.

 

Hope the sun shines for you all tomorrow. Cheers G.

Hi,

 

Many thanks to all for your help last week. I had no idea where to turn. Your direction and advice has been priceless, All SAR's are out now, hopefully they won't go dragging their feet for too long and I can cross referencing and make some sense of why there has been so much confusion over the last 3 years. I be calling around to clarify some points on Monday and will keep you posted on developments. Have a good weekend. Cheers G

Great. Well done.

 

I think that it would be very useful too - essential, in fact if you start working on a journal of events. I think that you need to have the whole story down on paper set out chronologically.

 

This will be important if you have to go to court and you may as well start doing it now.

 

It may be painful - but you may also find it therapeutic as well.

Well... doesn't need to be concrete. Ordinary paper will be fine.

Hi,

 

I’ve been working on a diary about RBS Loanguard which I have had a 3 year battle about

and having trouble with the whole timeline thing.

Everything seemed to happen so fast and take me over, but when I was looking at court papers etc last night from 2009

I was thinking why didn't i deal with that sooner?

Maybe I was just not very well (in the head) ha.

I went tearing through boxes etc this morning totry to jog my memory.

I know I should be concentrating on the RBS stuff, but this jumped out at me and rather than put it aside

I thought I'd run it past you, should I follow this up?

It looks like I had insurance once again and they have denied it, but hey, what do I know.

 

I have found paperworkrelating to a loan from Lombard Direct which was one of my RBS Direct Debits.

 

1/ (21.11.2008)Letter from Lombard noting receipt of my claim form. (Unfortunately I don’thave anything from them actually disputing insurance cover)....but

 

2/ (14.09.2009)A letter from Eastwood & Co. Solicitors demanding payment of loan (I’m assumingthey disputed insurance cover)

 

3/ Whilerifling through an old box of random papers I found a letter from LombardDirect dated (02.10.2007) it looks likeI requested a settlement figure on the loan (Loan Account Numbers match)....maybethinking of paying it off, but clearly changed my mind. It shows:

 

Currentbalance on Account £1748.80

 

Less: Rebateon Loan 98.74

 

Rebate ofInsurance premium 83.87

 

182.81

 

Amountrequired to settle the loan 1566.19

 

They seem to be offering me a rebate on insurance,

which they disputed existed when I tried to claim.

Maybe I'm wrong, but hey, they seem to have RBS connections, and nothing would surprise me.

The balance at the time I tried to claim was £159.30 and was paid off in instalments last one 01.09.2011.

Thanks

G

Amazing that you may have had two PPI policies in place and each case, the insurer declined to pay out.

Seems as if - if they don't steal you money by misselling, they take it by not paying out when they should,

 

So you are saying that they quibbled over a claim of £159.30 - and they are conected to RBS.

 

I think that you should begin by information gathering. It is always the best thing to do - to be completely prepared and fully informed. Then you can attack them with confidence for proper compensation.

 

I suggest that you send Lombard an SAR and also the solicitors.

See what it all brings back.

as for concrete letters

 

you dont have to post your letters

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...

OK. I have made contact with the doctor who wrote the article above and whose experience with the RBS is very similar to yours.

She has replied to me and we may speak tomorrow.

 

We'll see how it goes. I am sure that it will help to have others who are in the same boat if we do this together.

 

It turns out that you both live in the same town - that is a good start

A wee update.

 

I contacted Nat West RBS Insurance who have now given me a Customer ID Number attached to the Overdraft Loanguard

(apparently they do not deal with 'Policy Numbers'. Insurance was taken out in the year 2000 and was cancelled 6.7.2009

- their system shows an Overdraft Loanguard payment of £22 for July 2009 and similar payments historically.

 

Tthe reason my branch has given for cancelling the policy (which Nat West have on their system) is that 'I had stopped paying the premiums'.

 

Confused?

you will be........honestly!!

 

you couldn't make it up.

 

Now it's a waiting game for the SAR's to start kicking in..

...and to think,

 

last Monday I didn't know what a SAR was. G:roll:

Hi Gerri

 

Were they prepared to put any of the detail in writing [cancellation] and did you record the call?

 

It may be prudent to not draw any further attention to the matter until they respond to your SAR, RBS are a shambles at the best of times, if you give them the heads up of your intent they may not be so forthcoming in sending unredacted data.

Hi Phil,

 

No, they won't put anything in writing......data protection apparently. I believe you may be right about about keeping my head down. I'm sure they must be saying "oh god, that crazy woman is back"!! Hopefully the SAR's will throw up something that will maybe make some sense of the thing that is RBS.

Dear Gerri,

 

I wish you the very best of luck - the advice you are being given are the small steps to becoming empowered :)

Just like you, I had no idea about what a SAR, DN, CCA, let alone a POC were but the most important points to remember is start creating a paper trail, as opposed to telephone calls. Make sure you have marked on your calendar when the 40 days are up following your SAR request.

 

Try and read around different threads and learn from the experiences, it can be quite a journey but post up whatever you feel or need to ask, it is all worthwhile in the end... I have spent many an evening (which ended up being all night on here) to get a heads-up or a glimmer of wisdom.

Good luck and know you have made some fantastic connections on here that will help you along the way.

If you do find yourself having to respond to a telphone call - you should always take notes. Then immediately the call has ended write to the Bank/Whoever saying something along the lines of..

 

In respect of a call from/to your office today - please find below my understanding of our conversation.

Thank you for your encouragement......you are kind. I've been so lucky to have found the forum. I do believe I was at a point where I was giving up the fight.....had no more to give. Last Monday I was still at square one with the whole issue after over three years. By this Monday? everything is posted out and now (I feel like a wee freight train) I'm just waiting to chase up SAR's and cross reference when the data starts arriving, that should make for interesting reading. It was suggested to me today that I could possibly write directly to the Sheriff Court, tell all and ask their advice......brilliant idea!!, flag it up....... never would have dreamed of doing that. I've been working on a letter to the court which I'll post on thread tomorrow.

 

Cheers

I think that it is a good idea to write to the court. However you wouldn't be asking their advice. Rather, you would be writing to point out the injustice and asking them to re-open the case.

The court won't give advice.

 

Be prepared for a disappointment. The court may merely tell you to seek legal advice. On the other hand they may do more.

A shame that it is in Scotland. If it was in England and Wales, it would be very easy to apply for a setaside - even this far away from the date of the judgment.
