    • Do you have historical meter readings from before the meters were changed? And more recent history showing consumption, in metered units not in £s,  since the change. One specific thing to check is gas. Check that the meter and the bill use the same units. If the meter is recording cu.m but they're billing as if it was counting 100 cu.ft, then your bill will be nearly three times too high.  Overall I'm guessing it's an Ovo screw up. It's significant that they didn't block the transfer, maybe they aren't so sure of their position.
    • Hmmm, interesting point. In my career, that I am retired from now, there were an immense amount of rules and regulations that one had to adhere to by law. The qualification process is rigorous with on going assessments throughout your career and re-certification every 12 months. If you were shown to be not competent in those rules and regulations you could not hold the position and the operational consequences of that could potentially be dire. In the same respect, perhaps a judge who is not conversant in the rules of POFA should not sit in on cases that requires proficiency in that area? I also bow to your considerable knowledge in this area, perhaps I shouldn't be commenting but by doing so I find it helps the learning process. Your last point has just reminded me of something that may help my case, thank you.
    • Just had an email re the my breache in agreement by her rep.   I asked you yesterday if they had asked about her name in the thread being removed.   The issue they have is the Elizabeth turner and genetic pups entry on google.   they knew I did not put it up and told them so in court.  I dnt know how to post on google.   I told them I cannot remove what I did not post.  when i come back here and saw her name gone from threads title, I presumed her reps sought it.   now I get an email saying her names still on google ur breaching the agreement as it’s still on google.

    • How does one obtain the permit? The permit team number is only open between the hours of 9am to 3pm Mon - Fri. It says on the website, To obtain an additional 2 hours, the driver must pay a tariff of £3.00 + booking fees in person at our Security Hut, is that how you get the permit also, from the security hut? What a rigmaroll that would be but maybe just another step to take to try and catch people out?

    • 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.

Anyone,

 

It's been a month since receiving Shabby's defence and I have not received anything further. How long does it usually take for the court allocation questionaire to come through? Should I chase the court up or wait to receive further details?

 

Cheers

 

Jason

I didnt request all my statements. I have enough to prove the £860 of the claim - can I change the amount at this stage? I am worried as I have read about claims being thrown out of court due to the amount being claimed changing.

 

Can I request statements at this stage? My friend just estimated hers and RBS settled no problem so I just followed suit. I just thought if they have added up what they actually owe me they will realise it is a lot more than I am claiming back, so I thought they would be more than happy to settle.

 

I have submitted the letter requesting £940.. they sent the typical response that they would be in touch in 4 weeks, then did the same again at which point I issued them with the letter threatening court action, giving them 14 days to respond. After a week they refunded £105 as a good will gesture. They sent the letter next day telling me if they do not hear from me within 8 weeks they will close the complaint...

 

Can anyone tell me what i should do next.. can i change the amount i am requesting to £860 as i only have statements to back that up and dont want to wait 40 days to get statements from abbey. Should I resubmit the court letter with the "without predudice" part and ask for a lesser amount. Even if i do get my statements back the amount is going to be different from the original claim I suspect well over 1K..

 

Typical me - do everythiing @rse over t*t

ax,

 

Thanks for the link. I have saved it for future reference, as it may go to court. I am hoping for a settlement though. Like you I will accept a reasonable offer, a few hundred less than the £1360 I am claiming. We shall wait and see, although it seems to have gone quiet. I suppose they have got so many to deal with it all takes a while - it must be somewhere in the process. Good luck with yours - let me know on amy progress.

 

 

Keep plodding on.

Hi

 

Just to warn you we didn't get an allocation questionnaire as apparently the courts are now dispensing with them! However be warned we phoned the court to check what was going on and they told us it was being processed, we then received a letter saying unless we provided evidence of how the claim was worked out (e.g schedule of charges) then the case would be struck out! We had a day to get it there. It might be worth sending all your statements and a schedule of charges to the court. We have now received a court date so I have no idea what will happen now!

Hi Flybe09

 

Are you definately getting an AQ as a lot of the courts are no longer bothering to send them out. It is worth having a list of your charges and copies of all your statements ready to send to the courts as they will want this info. We have a court date with shabbey in August and we had no AQ, have had to pay no addtional fee and have been told just to bring all our paperwork with us to the hearing!

 

Good Luck

Hello - Please can you help....new to site so not sure where how to post etc. but my claim has been stayed. I am claiming against Abbey. I think that the order from the judge is positive although its stayed, he has given Abbey 14 days (well 28 after my 14 is up) to provide a list of how their charges are calulated, in the event that they default on this is there anything I should do if this happens??? To make matters worse I am out of the country on the day their date expires ie the 24/7 but I have written to the court and told them this when I sent them my schedule of charges. (I actually went to the court in person to give them these...

My question is, is what do I do if they default, which I am sure they will as they won't reveal their costs...

Do I have to ask for the stay to be lifted if they default....confused?:confused:

Hi Abbey Victim

I have had similar experience. Abbey have refunded me £360 into my account as a good will gesture as they "haven't done anything wrong". They say they have followed all the guidelines and stuff from the ombudsman and I knew about their charges so would lose if I tried to claim. Like you I am glad of the refund, however this is not a patch on what they owe me and I have started court proceedings. I just got their intention to defend notification so I have 28 days to find out what they are going to do! Hope I get a good result. Hope your result is what you want I will keep watching to find out and let you know if I am sucessful
