    • Yes, but the process starts here... https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/what-to-expect/ This involves making a complaint to GS first before approaching ICO. However, at the time of the complaint, I beleive we'd advise the complainant to ask for some compensation and take it from there. @FTMDave?? No, I meant this forum, The Consumer Action Group, where you're posting right now.😄 (We're in the slow process of rebranding as The National Consumer Service.)
    • And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court. 
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021.   npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279.   The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills.   I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this.   EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.    I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.

    • 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.

Only one suggestion

 

replace word minions with something more suitable, employees.

 

Saying what we all think in this case will undermine your position.

Idiots would be more appropriate :D

 

I was sent to the new course, I got there and greeted by the same guy who did the employability course I did two weeks prior. The course I was sent for by a4e, now Peopleplus, was supposed to be CV and Interview techniques. This turned out to be the same ten day course I was conned in to doing. i was lucky that the guy was one of the few who thought I did not even need it the first time around, there are still a few decent people left. Anyway I was allowed to go home and then due to this was able to sit the first part of four sections in my English exam, yes I would have missed part of my exams.

 

Going by what I was told, they don't have anymore plans for me at this moment in time and hopefully sit all parts of my exams in English on the 22nd. After realising they had made a cock up, I held off from complaining but will, once I have the safety net to back, which is my exam pass. Be sure i'm noting everything negative they do now :)

The situation is getting that silly that I even cancelled a dentists appointment.

 

 

Hi Daz,

 

You should of gone to your dentist appointment. if you have evidence for the appointment they cant stop you...i know as i used it myself when i was on the WP.

The secret is not to let them grind you down and only do the things that are mandatory...also dont be so accessible like give them your mobile phone number etc...so you dont get endless texts and phone calls...the only contact i had was through email and if my adviser wanted me to come in for a appointment they can write to you or give you the letter for the next appointment whilst your there...still dont understand why they drag you in for a 10 min pointless chat but now i think its because they have to see you weekly.

Good luck with all your going for.

Thanks LemonNews for the info, if all goes to plan I should be off there radar soon enough. My main purpose right now is get my English exam done and then get a decentish job and enrol on an evening class for level 2 maths, once I have that done, more options open for me. They seem to be trying to derail me but, I guess i'm stubborn and gives me more motivation.

 

I'm still trying to work out why they would try to stop someone who is on their way up, I can if it's someone who shows no interest.

 

AH well, the system works ;)

I don't consider email to be an appropriate medium for official correspondence. If they [A4e] ever rang me, my response was: "In writing only. You can write can't you ?".

 

If nothing else, it forced them to spend money on stationary and stamps as well as getting some much needed exercise by walking to the nearest post box :wink:
