    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

Actually, the total monthly payments are £861.20, it shows 8& simple inteterest as £160.04 so total £1021.24

 

Number of days elapsed 1425, claim from 19/11/08 to 16/11/12

 

The SOC is taking way too long so must be something not right!

 

Do these add up?

 

The first d/d of £15.57 shows 1425 days elapsed and £4.88 interest

 

The last d/d of £3.22 shows 15 days elapsed and £0.01 interest

 

I had downgraded it to keep it open as short of £££ hence the difference.

 

Hope that helps!

If you have entered the date of payment correctly and entered the payment correctly then the sheet will be right.

 

The "Claim to" date should be set to today.

 

For a payment of £15.57 made on 22/12/08 I get 1428 days elapsed and £4.89 interest.

 

What do you mean you downgraded it?

Thanks ims

 

When I was out of work last time I reduced to the lowest montly payment to keep it going and then was planning to put it back up to full cover when started working again. I did increase my sickness one but not this one for some reason.

 

Yes I guess if you round the number up it would be about right then.

Just realised it was the TODAY bit that threw me, I changed it to the date I cancelled it, last week, I have now changed ims and have the same as you :)

 

The wording of the letter above is all good though yes?

 

Really must get this sent and stop procrastinating!

Hi and hope your all having a nice Christmas :)

 

I sent the letter and got a reply saying they are looking into it and would get back to me within 10 working days, 10 working days later I got pretty much the same thinking saying they are still looking into it and hope for a resolution within 10 working days!

 

Hmmmmmmm, normal I guess?

 

Cheers

Not much of an update apart from I have now received a 3rd letter, pretty much the same as other 2, but this time apologising for it taking so long.

 

Any thoughts please?

 

Is there a given time limit or not?

 

Cheers

Hi guys,

 

Finally I have an answer...but im sure as some of you may have guessed...its not the one I want!

 

They are saying they have listened to all the calls from 2008, named dates and said at no time did I say I was not living at that address, I know I did :(

 

But, the part they may have slipped up on, they state there was no advice in relation to a mortgage policy, now I know this is untrue as he based the amount of cover on the cost of the mortgage, grrrr

 

I suppose this is standard as they are not just going to hand the money over?

 

Do I maybe request copies of the phone calls or ask for anything further or what do I do now please?

 

Many thanks

 

Ed
