    • 1. who knows... 2. not the whole A/C vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th b'day ...already carefully explain this. 3.yes 4.already carefully explain this.
    • if i remember rightly, long ago in one of the first drafts of the old proposed gov't overhauls, there was a listing of recommended 'charges' that inc wrong reg = £20. some PPC's implemented such changes in advance. then later as it looked increasing likely the new code was never going to be implemented after it's 1st review and another set of codes was to be debated they all quietly revert back .......... dx
    • Potentially it may not even get sold on? Just the default left for 6 years then gone? but if it is sold on ill get a letter from the DCA which is the notice of assignment? Sorry what is the different between a default notice and a default cal marker? yes, i may try and work arrangements out with the OCs after the breathing space but I'll see my circumstances then thank you again for all your help and patience, I really appreciate it and apologies If i am too fast or repeating myself.
    • receiving a default NOTICE (forget simple default cal markers) does not mean it will get sold on... OC's very very rarely do court themselves.  if it does you would receive a Notice of Assignment from the debt buyer/DCA.  as for reduced payment if it remains with the OC and they issue a DN, no harm in trying but lets get all your ducks inline first. dx  
    • okay thanks do you know how long it will take for it to get to the DCA or could the OC try and issue a CCJ? even though it's unlikely also for example would the OC agree to a reduction and a small payment over a super lengthy period of time if agreed? Rather than go through chasing apologies again for all the questions, just trying to understand all the possible scenarios.

    • 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.

This is quite a story Think it best if I do it in bullet points Sorry for the long post...

 

 

Been supplied with Electric by Npower since 05/07/.08

Always paid up on Direct Debit

Always had large bill

Sept 2013 Bill was so huge they wanted a monthly duel fuel sum of £274

Sept 2013 Asked if Meter was wrong the y said very unlikely

Oct 2013 spoke to energy Advisor and kept daily records of consumption using more at night than daytime!!

They kept saying that cost £90 to do a meter check (trying to dissuade me) but decide to go ahead.

Guy comes twice to install a check meter but cant due to a black circuit breaker.

Meter is housed in box outside and in January 2014 display disappears.

On third visit meter deemed broken and new one ordered.

New Meter installed and I monitor it only using 9- 12 units a day.

N power after struggle agree to pay refund of over metered amount will total £2000+

My online account all bill prior to 2012 deleted although I have some going back to 2009 on computer

Complete mess of online account as repeatedly recalculated

Special bill of £700 paid by me in 2009 as we had high bill. I just paid it although needed to go to family for financial help

I am disabled with many health problems and paying my energy bill has always been a struggle

Should I get compensation for worry stress and suffering from N power in addition to my refund???

The excess consumption should trigger a flag system on the computers so any large consumption for size of property can be evaluated and also vulnerabilities of customers should be flagged.

 

 

Advice please should I take this all the way to the ombudsman? that will make a refund on the electric and I will accept that but I really think they need to be brought to book over this.

Thanks for your input.

I understand I cannot go to the ombudsman yet. I have made my case to the lady dealing and the refund is being processed this week - for the third time within the parameters of usage on the new meter. The first two attempts were not backdated as promised.

I also understand that next week we are going to talk about compensation in addition to the refund matrix agreed. If we cannot agree this gets escalated to the Customer Service Manager and if no agreement is reached the ombudsman is my option. I hope to agree before that. The reason I want recompense is:-

 

 

1 I am disabled and living on a very low income, and have been for many some years

2 I have always paid my energy bills although with the old faulty meter they were escalating all the time giving me worry, stress and making me ill.

3 The final straw when the company in Sept 2013 asked for monthly energy payments of £274 monthly. They never attempted to call me as this clearly was wrong. I had to do all the legwork. The quote of £274 worried me so much I ended up talking to my doctor for stress.

4. I have come on to this forum asking for advice what would constitute reasonable compensation to request as I have no idea.I would guess another £2000 on top but as stated am not au fait with these things

This though does not excuse the company from completely making my on-line account unintelligible and deleting my on-line bills before2012. I understood it was a legal requirement they remain - Thank God for downloads!
