    • 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.    
    • Hi. Please don't follow McD's advice to contact Met to appeal. They won't listen and you could end up giving them helpful information. HB

    • 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.

Hi guys, first time poster and i must firstly say that i have looked through the site and found a few others in my situation.

 

I received a letter last month from Swift Sterling stating that a debt i know nothing about has been sold on.

 

This led me to use Noodle to check my credit score and there were 2 defaults placed on it!

 

I used Noddle to dispute them but have heard nothing back ( its only been a few weeks though).

 

Yesterday i received another letter from MMF stating that they have tried to contact me many times ( a lie ).

 

One default is for my previous address and the other for my current address.

 

I have scanned copies of both letters and of the Noodle screenshot.

 

Should i send each of them a 'Prove It' letter as i have no idea about these?

 

My mortgage is up for renewal in 1 year and we are scared witless about what this actually is.

 

PS. I love the site.

Please scan up the letters removing all personal info etc

 

How much is the debt for? As you will have seen, MMF are a royal pain in the arse.

They threaten and bully and only are interested in £££££££££.

 

What does it say for default dates etc?

 

We could do with some help from you.

Here are the 2 letters and 2 screenshots from my Noodle account.

 

Cheers

 

 

Ok the method of reporting to credit reference agencies changed sometime ago to show a more accurate picture of the conduct of accounts; this means that when a debt is sold the new owner places their name and the details of the account side by side with the original creditors entry. However the Default Date MUST remain the same as the OCs entry and the OCs entry should show " settled/satisfied" with a nil balance.

 

 

You don't have two defaults for one debt just a progression of the conduct of the account.

I agree this is to separate accounts it would seem different account numbers and greatly varying default dates.

Am guessing that the MMF account is for the current address. They usually update it to your most recent address

I have never had any of these loans and moved house last November 1013.

What do i do now?

You make a forma complaint to Mr Neil Petty MD of MMF.

 

 

Stating clearly that you are not nor ever have been a client of the original creditor and you acknowledge no liability for the alleged debts and you put them to strict proof that you are the debtor it seeks.

 

 

Say no more at this stage to MMF.

 

 

Meanwhile place notices of dispute on ALL credit reference agency files to which the

alleged debts have been reported.
