    • Hello CAG Team, I'm adding the contents of the claim to this thread, but wanted to open the thread with an urgent question: Do I have to supply a WS for a claim with a court date that states " at the hearing the court will consider allocation and, time permitting, give an early neutral evaluation of the case" ? letter is an N24 General Form of Judgement or Order, if so, then I've messed up again. Court date 25 May 2024 The letter from court does not state (like the other claims I have) that I must provide WS within 28 days.. BUT I have recently received a WS from Link for it! making me think I do need to!??
    • 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.

    • 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.

British Gas! Can I Really Have Used £500 a Month???

So I've just got my final bill from british gas.

 

My DD was set at £55 for electric and gas (suspiciously low right??) but with two people working full time in a tiny two bed I gave them the benefit of the doubt.

 

I phoned up every month and provided meter readings and was told "ok that is very similar to our estimated so we don't need to update it"

 

Then wham, Final bill for £1092.14!!!!

 

Ive asked for a full breakdown of charges, payments and meter readings because when you close an account you cant access that information on your online account anymore.

 

I can see the statements however,

 

 

18 Apr 2013 Energy Charges * 425.22 -1092.14

08 Apr 2013 Direct Debit payment received 55.00 -666.92

23 Mar 2013 Energy Charges * 551.81 -721.92

07 Mar 2013 Direct Debit payment received 55.00 -170.11

18 Feb 2013 Energy Charges * 250.36 -225.11

07 Feb 2013 Direct Debit payment received 55.00 25.25

22 Jan 2013 Miscellaneous adjustment 100.00 -29.75

18 Jan 2013 Energy Charges * 215.98 -129.75

07 Jan 2013 Direct Debit payment received 55.00 86.23

25 Dec 2012 Energy Charges * 23.77 31.23

 

So apparently ive used nearly £500 a month for the last two months!! I know its been cold but I rarely have the heating on and the house is only inhabited from 5pm at night! Could I really have used £500pm??

 

And why when I was phoning each month was I told that my estimated readings were fine and that my DD was fine! I used to work for a certain big utility supplier and If I had a customer that was using £500 PM I would advise them to increase their DD! I would have happily bumped it up at the time, but now I dont really have that option.

 

Ive been made redundant and heavily pregnant so no hope of quick re-employment. Im back living with the parents and no idea how Im going to clear this balance!

Get eh meter tag (the serial number) and call up UK power networks and see when it was last services. If I remember right, they have to be services once every so many years (dunno how often tho)

Would the serial number b on the front of both meters? I have pictures of the meters with their readings, but I moved out of the prop and its over 200 Mile away now so couldnt pop round for a look!

 

What happens if the meter has not been serviced?

I don't think there is an issue with the meter. You have described a common con amongst utility providers where they prefer to under estimate and then hit you with a large bill when you want to leave. That is how they keep you locked in.

Did you keep a record of the meter reads that you gave them each month? Do they compare with the statements issued? If they never used those readings then there is a very good chance that they will have difficulty proving you owe the money. If the meter reads were similar to their estimates then ther eis no ways it can jump up unless someone decided to input incorrect data!

I have a record of all meter readings I gave, but I cant check them against the estimated, because my billing is all online and when you try to look at anything breakdown related online it says "cannot view this, account now closed" which I think is very suspicious!

 

I just genuinely cant understand how I apprently used £500 PM worth of gas and electric when the house is empty most of the time!

 

I phoned them today and was put on hold for 20 mins while someone looked at my account. They then came back and said they were sending it off for investigation because of a problem with meter readings but wouldnt tell me what problem and that I will recieve a revised bill in 14 days.

 

This is supposed to be one of the biggest providers in the UK and yet I feel like im dealing with dodgey conmen!

hi, british gas did this to me.

I was living in a 2 bedroom 3rd floor flat by myself. I rarely had the heating on i was out most the day and night (I had 2 jobs and went to college) it was for the months march - june (not so cold months) and I lived in the top floor so i gained most of the below floors heating and then a £600 bill landed. I couldn't believe it!! I contested it and they ended up putting a card meter in but they said I was still liable. I moved out and left no forwarding address and that was over 10 years ago, never heard from them since and there no record of it ever being on my credit file. They are the biggest energy con artists going! I'll never go with british gas ever again.

 

I take it you've given them your forwarding addess? if so just return post unopened saying return to sender no longer at this address!

Lloyds Credit card - £6K - PPI and interest refunded - £1200 remain F&F sent & accepted £360

Lloyds Overdraft - £620 - charges & interest refunded - £188.10 remain F&F sent & accepted £56

Black Horse loan - £10K - £2879 remain - F&F sent and rejected - CCA sent 3/6/13 deadline

Orange - £128 - £39 remain although CRA file states £11

Orange - £132 - £51.06 remain although CRA file states £45

 

Next stage F&F's to be sent - a step closer to being debt free

Yes I provided them with my Forwarding Address. I have a really bad credit file and couldnt do with another black mark, so I figured I would offer them £5PW worse case scenario.

Yes, get a Subject Access request out to them immediately. You need copies of all the meter readings in what ever format. eg, their estimated readings and those you provided to them. Did they ever do a proper meter reading ?

 

You want to see the statements for each billing period. I find it very hard to believe that you would use £500.00 of gas each month, especially if you aren't there.

 

Do you happen to know the new people in the flat ? Perhaps you could ask them what their meter reading was for a couple of months ?

Do you think I should wait the 14 days, see what the new "revised" balance is after they have done their investigation?

 

I have requested a full account breakdown from the day I switched (wish I never had!) to date I moved out.

I asked for all payments made, all charges invoiced, all meter readings entered and the dates.

If thats not satisfactory I will send a SAR I think.

 

They came out in March to read the meters.

 

The prop is currently unnocupied (only moved out on the 27th April).

 

I have an itching suspicion that if BG isnt trying to [problem] me, my previous LL is! She provided false meter readings when we entered the prop which took ages to sort out (she was trying to get us to pay for the previous tenants gas). Got that sorted finally.

 

I phoned on the 28th with my final readings, (I took pictures of the meters on the 27th and send them to LL so we both had them). Im wondering if the "problem" with the meter readings is she has provided a higher one, to cover her as she is going to move back in later this month!

 

I was previously with EDF energy and my DD was £65 PM and the account was closed in credit when I switched to BG.

Righto, if they are investigating then you do indeed have to give them time. It is fairly obvious that something untoward is going on, especially as you say, your previous bills with a different supplier were vastly lower.

Thanks for the advice,

 

I like to have a plan of action in place, because I genuinely dont have much faith in this "investigation" lol

 

TBH, if this were me, I would still send the Subject Access Request - if they are going to take a couple of weeks to do their investigation, if it doesn't go your way, then at least you are part way through the 40 calendar days they have to supply the SAR data.

 

It might be worth considering also, that they would have time to alter data to fit their scenario.. so probably a good idea to circumvent that.. !

Fair Point, I will pop one in the post anyway onmonday. Whats the Charge for a SAR again? At United Utilities its £10 I dont know if its the same across the board.

 

 

 

NEVER going with BG AGAIN!!! EDF are the only energy company ive delt with that seem to give a toss. But I was lead astray by the promise of cheap utiliites, I should have known better LOL

The statutory fee is indeed £10.00 - there is a draft letter in the CAG library. You will need to amend it I would think :)

Just to add, british gas has all of this information available to you on their OAM (Online Account Management).

 

Things like:

 

1) Meter reading history (this includes estimated readings)

2) Charges and payments on your account & how they were paid, deducted or added to your account i.e. card payment, DD, SO etc...

3) Current and previous bills

 

My details go back over the last 3 years I've been with them, so I assume they go back further. it might be worth logging into that in the meantime to get the information you need so you can work through them with temporary data whilst they're doing their investigation.

 

Here's the link I use to log in: http://www.britishgas.co.uk/Login/Login-Verify/

 

If you don't have an online account, you can easily sign up for one for free. If I remember right, all you need is your account number (on your bill), some personal details, and maybe your meter number (serial number on the meter).. It took me an hour or so to get all of that online up and running :)

 

Cheers,

 

A

 

*edit* for good practice, I keep a spreadsheet of all the readings I give them. I also run several energy monitors to concur (or conflict) what their meter comes up with. Out of habit I give them weekly meter reads now just so I know what i'm spending each week).

 

Another interesting thing about the online side of the site is 'Compare Your Usage', it goes back over your historical usage and tells you what you're using in terms of £ or kWh (units) comparing the previous years to current etc...Interestingly enough, when I first joined them, my usage was triple what it is now, but since then, I've had more heaters installed, a new tumble dryer and a bigger stove :D I'm waiting for my winter bill to corner them, but thats another topic :D

Hi thanks for the advice, but as I mentioned earlier, when an account is finalled you cannot view any information online.

 

When I log on to BG online it tells me the acc is closed and the balance, and then its got the basic information like supply address ect. When you try to view anything such as past statements, past meter readings, usage or anything you get this popup

 

Sorry, there has been a problem

Access to this section is currently unavailable. Please try again later.

 

When I phoned the online account team they said that you cannot access any of these facilities when the account is closed.

hmm how very convenient for them :-/ Isn't it weird that whenever a meter reading is wrong, or the meter fails, or billing fails it's always in their favour... I guess the SAR is the only route then as the friendly Site Team said.

 

I personally would add to the end of the letter something to the effect of:

 

'Because you have removed all access to my personal account historical information, I have had to pay you £10 to get this information. When this issue is finalised I fully intend to claim this £10 back from you due to your lack of co-operation'

 

Or something like that, but the team knows best how to approach that :) I just happen to be a cheeky sod that isn't scared to get... cheeky lol :D

 

btw lol at your username... made me titter today :D *thumbs up* didn't notice it before :D

Hang on... £500 a month?

 

Working out in terms of units (I'll base this on single rate tariff, not Eco 7) on a prime location i.e. London:

 

Daily Standing Charge: 0.17 / Day = £5.27 / 31 Day Month

Unit Charge: 12.559 / kWh

 

Without the standing charge you used: £494.73 of power

 

Working that in terms of units, you used: 3940 units

 

Per day that is: 164.16 kWh

 

Per Hour that is: 6.85 kWh (units)

 

Thats the same as literally having 2 boilers CONSTANTLY heating at the same time 24 hours a day, for 31 days.

 

Or in other terms, leaving 2 hot plates FULL on your cooker on for an entire month all day every day.

 

Energy companies generally tip police off for usage like that due to horrid people running high powered lighting systems to grow dubious plants, now why didn't they do this?

 

Even if you had a 12 bedroom house with all of the lights on 24 hours a day, TV, routers, radio and normal domestic usage, you might just skim sky of £400 a month...

 

I'd break it down like this for them. Do bear in mind that:

 

1) I used a prime location: E14 3NE postcode (Harbour Exchange, London, Canary Wharf Way!)

2) I used the highest tariff available

3) I used a 31 day month rather than a realistic 30 day month month

 

I hope this makes it clearer as to what the situation is and how unrealistic it is

I now have a full paper copy of all the information, as they have completed the investigation.

 

And amazingly, my account balance is not 1000 in debit. It is in fact £135 in CREDIT!

 

I cant even understand how there was such a massive discount. And if It was my Landlord - she's obviously trying to cheat a years worth of gas out of me because I'm taking her to small claims court for not using DPS or returning my deposit.

lol :D Yeah I had something like that.. A £200 bill ended up a £10000 bill due to their estimate overshooting my actial reading.. So what they did was charge me according to the meter doing a full circle around the clock... They had to send mine to a specialist department too which resolved it.

 

Ah well, glad to know you werent growing pot in your cellar hahaha :D

 

Happy for your outcome :) *thumbs up*

lol :D Yeah I had something like that.. A £200 bill ended up a £10000 bill due to their estimate overshooting my actial reading.. So what they did was charge me according to the meter doing a full circle around the clock... They had to send mine to a specialist department too which resolved it.

 

Ah well, glad to know you werent growing pot in your cellar hahaha :D

 

Happy for your outcome :) *thumbs up*

 

If I was growing Pot in my cellar a £1000 bill would be the last of my worries ;) but at least id be chilled about it haha
