    • It you had E7 in the past but have converted to single rate then the meter will still hold the last recorded Night readings. This introduces scope for error when manually reading. If the meter has only ever been used on single rate then there's only one figure that can be taken. For example ours shows "Rate 1" reading and a "Total import" reading, but they both give the sme figure. If it has ever been on E7 the total will be higher, including the retained night reading.
    • okay, perfect and thank you so much for the help once again. so firstly i am going to initiate the breathing space, during this time it's likely ill receive a default. when i receive the default are you aware of how long it will take for me to know whether the OC have sold it off to DCAs? Once it's with the DCAs i do not need to worry as they cannot issue a CCJ only the OCs can Even if i decide to come an arrangement with the DCAs no point as the default will remain for 6 years paid or not paid I should only consider repayment if the OC still won the debt and then issue a CCJ? Just to confirm the default will not be seen after 6 years? No one can tell I had one then after 6 years ill be all good?
    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?

    • 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.

Natwest kind of made it clear that the ball was in barclays court with that random payment.

 

 

I have written it off and learned a valuable lesson from it.

 

 

This evening I will have some time to comb through the documents from documents so expect many questions in relation to those.

Hi all!

 

 

I'm very impatient and would like to get this debt out of my hair.

 

 

Would it be wise to submit an offer to Barclays at this point in time?

 

 

the debt is with a different company at the moment(buchanan and wells) if i recall correctly.

Please give us some more details.

 

 

BUT paying the debt in full or an agreed full and final settlement wont get it off CRA files, only marked satisfied or partially satisfied.

Hi Crux,

 

You need to wait for BCW's reply to your CCA request. Until they reply, they should not be taking any collection activity.

 

The debt no longer belongs to BC and an offer to them will be a waste of time.

 

You said earlier that BCW offered a 40% discount. Could you pay this or would you have tried to make BC a lower offer.

 

:-)

We could do with some help from you

I'm going to offer to pay 20% of the debt. Any templates hanging about for the F&F letter?

What are you expecting from paying this off?

 

 

What is the status of the debt, date of last payment, default date?

 

 

Pointers for a F&F settlement Offer:

 

 

1. Never start higher than 10% of the debt, giving room to negotiate.

2. Make the offer strictly conditional on:

(a). The remaining balance is not to be sold or assigned to any 3rd party.

(b). The removal of adverse data (difficult one now since the ICOs views have changed) i.e. removal of the default tag and account marked settled preferably but BC are very pedantic and prefer satisfied or partially satisfied.

3. Never make any payment until you have an water tight written agreement to the offer.

 

 

Use signed for post and address to the Compliance Manager/Director of the DCA.

 

 

This is not on CRA files are you sure it is not statute barred?

I'm hoping to put barcalys in the past and avoid the constant calls and texts that are on a daily basis right now.

and really just want to put this behind me.

 

 

i understand sometimes i need a bit of reighning in but really impatient

You most certainly need extreme caution with this!

 

 

If you can answer the questions in previous posts it will be easier to advise you!

 

 

Please confirm Wescott is the owner of the debt.

Wescott say they are acting on behalf of barclays

(their letters have become a bit more friendly).

 

 

Buchanan and wells ( as previously mentioned )refers to an old debt that has just crept up also by barclays.

 

 

this relates to my overdraft I had with them and is for a minimal amount so may just pay this?

 

 

I have no idea how long its been since I defaulted on the account in question but it may be about 9 months.

 

 

I accidentally made a payment on this account about 3 weeks ago

 

 

(I mistook the account for 1 of my others).

 

Please advise

Ahh yes I remember the payment problem, did you attempt to reverse the transaction?

 

 

Nowhere near statute barred in that case.

Wescott being agents for the creditor would have to refer any offer of a reduced settlement back to its client.

paying it will NOT stop them.

 

 

just make you a mug to be further fleeced.

 

 

this is what the DCA industry is all about

 

 

threat after threat after threat

 

 

then they get to fleece a mug.

 

 

that money then funds the EXACT same harassment to more people like you are suffering now.

 

 

THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!!

you're saying forget about the money I owe these people(Barclays) and wait for them to come and collect my posessions?

 

 

Other than payment

 

 

- and I really am trying to negotiate a percentage that favours me

 

 

- there is no other option on the table?

 

 

I can't dispute what I owe barring the charges.

 

 

I can't question whether the debt is mine as I know it is.

 

 

Give me some options here people.

Barclays/Wescott are not Bailiffs, they have to take you to court, win a judgement which you fail to pay then and only then can they seek a warrant.

 

 

If they were going to court I think they would have done so some time ago.

Hi Crux,

 

See the Article here about home visits - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387366-Harassment-amp-Threat-of-Doorstep-Visit-(update-21.04.2014)

 

Use this thread only to discuss the BC a/c. If you want to discuss the Barclays overdraft, start a new thread in the Barclays Bank forum. Otherwise info becomes confused.

 

Have you had a reply yet to your CCA request sent to BCW ?
