    • 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.

If there has been a change in employment, then it may reasonable to provide details that you are still able to make the agreed repayments including the amount towards arrears.

 

if you just told them of a change of employment, without advising whether incomes have changed, then I could see why a letter has been sent to you asking for income and expenses info.

We could do with some help from you.

Think you need to keep mortgage company informed of income changes, if you have simply informed of change to employment. 

We could do with some help from you.

I have written to them to advise of income change and employment change ..

they haven't even acknowledged the income change .

.they just stated I have advised about how I'm paying cmi but not addressed how I'm paying the arrears ..

 

I have a court order in place to pay the cmi + 200 extra they know this .

However they still threatening me with eviction .

And demanding more income and expenditure

 

I will send that in to them and see where we go as they will probably demand more again as the income is now higher .

But they are only having the extra £200 as inline with the court order .

 

Regards

Markez

  • 1 month later...

I paid them cmi plus the extra £200 

Past 2 months ..and now a letter has arrived today from a different solicitors Lightfoot solicitors stating Kensington have obtained an order for possession and they have been instructed to enforce it !! 

 

I can't believe this ..

They stated on last letter that the warrant may be enforced if I didnt fill in an income and expenditure of which I did .. 

I presume this is also because the fos have stated they have found nothing wrong with kennys young the cmi every few months ..

They have stated the eviction will be in 14 days ..

I've had nothing from the courts either !! 

What should I do 

Thanks 

Markez

Hi DX 

I'm a little confused ? Ignore the letter from the solicitors ? Stating they have been instructed to enforce the order ? 

 

Also what do you mean by don't communicate with anyone again ? U mean sending stuff to Kenny's ? 

 

Regards

Markez

 

They have also slapped a £60 enforcement charge onto the account . As I've just logged online ...to check my account .

Ok thanks DX .

I have also received another letter dated the same date as the eviction letter .

From lightfoot solicitors stating they have taken over from eversheds . And they have sent one to the District judge .

 

The intruct for possession order letter says I have at least 14 days before the eviction goes ahead .

If they have applied £60 enforcement fee to my account .that tells me they are enforcing the eviction 😭

 

Do I now sit and wait for a court lwtter from the balliff ? 

T

Thanks for your time and also thank for replying .

Regards markez

sounds like they are applying to the court for an eviction warrant so you should wait until you get the notification and we'll deal with it as before.  Why do they think you are in breach of the suspended order?

I can only assume it's because I missed April's .payment .

I wrote to them and advised wife changing jobs 

And explained how and when I will pay the cmi + court order towards the arrears may and June .

 

They wrote back middle of may and stated I had explained how I was paying cmi but hadn't explained how is as paying arrears and I was at risk of the warrant being enforced and I needed to send a new income and expenditure in .

 

I clearly stated how I was paying cmi and arrears in my letter .

Which I sent special delivery to them signed for ..

I've paid cmi plus court order .

May .

June and

about to pay July's (28th) 

 

However I did manage to get the possession order put on hold from earlier in the year while the fos looked into my complaint .

 

They have now completed the complaint and said Kenny's are fine upping the cmi every 3 months due to the terms of my mortgage and closed the complaint . 

 

5 days later Kenny's ask solicitors to claim for possession .

I've had no other letters or phone calls since may 15th ! 

And paid on time 

 

It's a massive shock

.it's as if they are getting me back for going to fos and because they awarded in Kenny's favour .

They are still proceeding with the earlier order that was put on hold ..

Thanks

Markez

Yes .

we had no spare funds at the time I think I explained this on the previous pages .

Because wife changed jobs ..

 

Do u feel it will because of this ?

As I could see if I could raise April's payment ..

I doubt it but it it would help I could try my best ..

 

The arrears have gone down by £640 since april .

.the cmi has just come down by £30 a month 

 

the first letter we got today said Lightfoot are now the new solicitors for Kenny's dated 18th July

the second letter was the instruction to enforce the eviction again dated 18th July .

Then on the 19th July Kenny's slapped £60 enforcement charge onto our account .

 

We haven't had any literature from them regarding they would be doing this ..

it's just all arrived today ,😭

If you have missed a payment under the terms of the suspended order then the are within their rights to apply to enforce possession.  Was there a gap between your wife's employment such that she didn't get paid for one whole month at all ?

 

If your last hearing was only earlier this year and  you've missed a payment then you're going to have a bit of a battle to get a judge to come down on your side I'm afraid

The last hearing was last August 2018 of all things .

 

Nearly exactly a year ..

The arrears were nearly £30.000 then ..a year later they just over £21.000
