    • Yes that looks fine. It is to the point. I think somewhere in the that the you might want to point out that your parcel had been delivered but clearly had been opened and resealed and the contents had been stolen
    • Hi All, I just got in from work and received a letter dated 24 April 2024. "We've sent you a Single Justice Procedure notice because you have been charged with an offence, on the Transport for London Network." "You need to tell us whether you are guilty or not guilty. This is called making your plea."
    • Okay please go through the disclosure very carefully. I suggest that you use the technique broadly in line with the advice we give on preparing your court bundle. You want to know what is there – but also very importantly you want to know what is not there. For instance, the email that they said they sent you before responding to the SAR – did you see that? Is there any trace of of the phone call that you made to the woman who didn't know anything about SAR's? On what basis was the £50 sent to you? Was it unilateral or did they offer it and you accepted it on some condition? When did they send you this £50 cheque? Have you banked it? Also, I think that we need to start understanding what you have lost here. Have you lost any money – and if so how much? Send the SAR to your bank as advised above
    • In anticipation of lodging my court claim next Weds 1 May (14 days after advising P2G that was my deadline for them to settle my claim) I have completed my first draft POC as below: Claim Claim number: xxxxx Reference: P2G MAY 2024   Claimant xxxxx   Defendant Parcel2Go 1A Parklands Lostock Bolton BL6 4SD  Particulars of Claim The defendant has failed to arrange for the safe delivery of the claimant's parcel containing a 8 secondhand golf clubs (valued at £265) that was sent to a UK address using their delivery service (P2G Reference xxxxx).

    • 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.

Literally minutes before the BBC announced that GB Energy had gone out of business

I completed a switch to EON via a comparison website.

 

My question is

should I stop the switch and await OFGEN to put me with a new supplier or is it OK to let the switch progress?

I should add that I am about £150 in credit with GB which OFGEN say is safe.

 

Advice appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Cannot see why you would not just allow the Switch to go ahead. EON will contact you about the process of starting your account with them. Whoever is dealing with admin for GB Energy will contact you regarding your last bill with them and any refund due.

 

I suspect many GB Energy customers will be switching and not waiting until OFGEN sorts it out.

We could do with some help from you.

An energy firm with 160,000 customers has ceased trading, blaming recent rises in energy prices.

In a statement, GB Energy Supply said that as a "small supplier" business had "become untenable", but assured people their supply would not be affected.

Ofgem said it would appoint a new supplier and stressed that outstanding credit balances were protected.

The energy regulator advised customers to take a meter reading and wait until their new supplier contacted them.

In a letter to customers on the GB Energy Supply website, managing director Luke Watson said: "Due to swift and significant increases in energy prices over recent months and, as a small supplier our inability to forward buy energy to allow us to access the best possible wholesale prices, means that the position of the business has become untenable."

BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam said that although crude oil prices had almost doubled since the start of the year to just under $50 per barrel, that was still less than half the price seen in 2014.

Many industry watchers expected the cost of heating our homes to rise next year owing to global prices and a weaker pound, he added.

Citizens Advice has assured customers of the Preston-based company not to worry.

Points from MoneySavingExpert's, Martin Lewis

 

 

1. You will not be cut off. Ofgem will find another supplier to take over the business and you will continue to get energy meanwhile

2. Your credit is protected. If you are in credit, you will get this back likely once the new supplier is appointed.

3. Take a meter reading ASAP. Write this down right now, it will be important for the transfer process.

4. Do not switch now, until the firm is transferred to a new supplier, that could risk you not getting any credit you are in back (this is unconfirmed, the process is new, but I believe that’s the situation).

 

 

Apparently Ofgem have said that any credits will be protected.

Morning johnjordan and thanks for switching to us.

 

You say the switch has completed. Do you mean all has gone through and we're now supplying you? Or is it you've completed an application through a price comparison site?

 

If all's done and dusted, you won't be able to stop the switch but, if you've only just applied, you'll be in the 14 day cooling off period. This will have started from the day you applied and you can stop a switch anytime within this window.

 

Should all go through, we'll send our opening meter readings to the old supplier (now being looked after by Co-op Energy). They'll use the same readings to close their account and issue a final bill. This might affect the credit you mention.

 

Hope this helps johnjordan.

Thanks for that. I've decided to take OFGENS advice and wait for everything to settle down and see what the supplier they appoint, which I understand is to be Co-Op are offering. I have emailed Comparethemarket asking them to stop the transfer for the time being.
