    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • 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!...

    • 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.

Could you point me to this, Brig? Hear it a lot but never see it. Some people are confused because Barclaycard used to use CS before selling debt to HFO.

 

What’s ‘Chis Lancasters’? Excuse my slowness. It’s early...

 

 

Lancaster Solicitors in Chiswick.

 

 

Google Cograd, there's some data re Concilian CS CCS is in the small print.

Hi All

 

 

I had sent letters to HFO regarding the account and had not heard anything until

 

 

this morning when I received a letter from a company called Asset Link No 5

 

saying they have purchased this account....

 

 

. has anybody had any dealings with them?

 

 

at lease they have the correct balance on the letter instead of the inflated amount that HFO kept saying I owed.

 

hopefully I can eventually put an end to this saga now.

As I mentioned earlier, HFO Capital was in the process of being sold... looks like Link has picked up all the lemons.

 

How much are they requesting?

 

There’s still a problem – if you weren’t sent a notice of assignment by HFO Services to state the account had been sold to HFO Capital, then you can rightly claim that Link has no right to be chasing this, as your debt was with HFO Services.

Oh I am still here! Just keeping a low profile. HFO and their demise are still on my radar

 

Hello CD, Hello DB, happy Christmas to both of you xx

US President Barack Obama referred to Ugland House as the biggest building in the world or the biggest tax SCA* in the world.

The amount they are claiming is equal to the original CCJ minus the payments I have made to them £800 ish

 

 

I have not had an deed of assignment when the account was passed to HFO Capital from HFO Services

do I send a CCA Request or a SAR to link?

 

 

Merry Christmas to you all.

Hi

 

Are you still making payments on this Lemon to anyone? If so stop now

 

And is the outstanding amount about £400 or £800?

 

Personally I think that you have paid and suffered enough - don't send anything to Link as they have no information to enable them to claim this money from you, they have just bought a 'debt'. They are unlikely to take legal action and if they did this would be easy to defend as you can take it back to the original court

 

Did you previous send a SAR to anyone?

 

I really also think that you need to send a PPI claim to Welcome as you say that you did claim on this and were refused - therefore there must be a reason why PPI was not appropriate. Welcome do exist and you can claim PPI payments from them ( they are one of the worst offenders). You do no not need a lot of information - just the account number and your details, no documents required and this is money for you, it will not be taken off this dodgy debt.

 

Also please collect any documents on this claim and send to [email protected] of the FCA who is comiling information on Turnbull and co

Please support CAG and they will support you.

I have stopped paying this account back in February this year when T/Rutherford wrote to me stating they are not acting for HFO anymore and I should contact HFO capital direct.

 

 

The outstanding amount is just over £800 out of a ccj that was for £3,400

 

 

I have sent an SAR and CCA to HFO back in 2007 when this all started and I discovered this forum. as before then I did not know about the CCA etc otherwise this would have never got to court.

 

 

I looked at claiming the PPI from Welcome Finance but I was told that the payout would go to HFO so I did not claim this as I did not want to give the HFO muppets anymore money than I have to.

 

 

I will be sending copies all docs etc to Efe at the FCA.

 

 

I will be glad when I can put this to bed finally as until I do this I cannot put my name on our house deeds in fear of these clowns checking the land registry and getting a charging order on it as soon as my name appears on the deeds.

cheers for all your help

Peter.

Interesting, thought it wouldn't be long before another shark got hold of the lemons - when will the DCA industry clean up its act - how about informing the FCA that a company that has been closed due to bad behaviour (and a dodgy legal team) has now 'passed' its alleged debts onto another bunch.

As coledog as pointed out.

 

Claim that PPI now, let them have the balance owed, you will still be quids in.

 

I thought the time limit on PPI claims is 6 years from when the policy was purchased if so then I would be unable to claim the PPI as this Loan/PPI was taken out in 2002.

 

 

I have searched Companies house files on the company that is sending these letters out (Asset Link No5) this company was incorporated in 2010 as a dormant limted company and is STILL registered as dormant ie NOT trading so they should not be sending out letters demanding money as they have declared to Companies House and to the HMRC that they are not trading. (possible Tax Fiddle)

Just to clarify the letter from Asset Link no5 states they have purchased the account from HFO Services not HFO Capital

You can reclaim PPI 6 yrs from when you became 'aware' you could claim it!

asset has always been cover by link licence from day one

just another trading name

 

 

little point in an sar to a DCA.

 

 

if anything send whoever wants money now a CCA request.

 

 

you wont ever get to see the deed of assignment either

so forget that

you could request the notice of assignment, but not worth bothering.

 

 

as with 90% of the debts Plink buy

they'll not know about the CCJ I bet.

 

 

and there is NO time limit on PPI reclaims either.
