    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk 
    • Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious  An update - - I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)   - I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai)  - IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all. - i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

    • 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.

Foreign debts can be enforced in UK courts, if they can prove it exists and is still enforceable. If you have any grounds for disputes re documents or anything else, you should raise it in writing.

 

If you are unhappy with documents, think you need to tell them in writing, otherwise if it goes to court, a Judge may say why you did not raise concerns when you were provided with copies.

 

The law that applies is UEA in regard to the provision of the credit card and the running of the account. It would only be the enforcement bit that would come under UK court rules. Not sure they would need original documents, but iI would question whether reconstituted documents would be allowed. Hence it might be worth questioning whether what they have provided is a copy of the original document issued.

We could do with some help from you.

So, would the UK statute of limitations apply when trying to enforce UAE debt through UK courts, or the statute of limitations in the UAE?

IF it ever got to court this would have to be argued about. Formal legal advice would be needed. I thought the actual enforcement of the debt would come under UK law. The debt may still be live under UAE law, but it is whether it can be subject to enforcement in the UK.

Hi All

 

I thought I had forgotten all about my DUBAI debt after dancing with CWD for quite some time.😂

 

Now it seems there is a new kid on the block  Moriarty LAW who has picked up the relay  from CWD and is chasing me of the same money under   a "PAP"  

 

https://www.nationaldebtline.org/EW/factsheets/Pages/pre-action-protocol-for-debt/county-court-protocol.aspx

 

Now I have no idea how they think they can pursue this claim in the UK and Im looking for advice.

 

I cant live with this all my life and I think the only way to truly be rid of this is Bankruptcy so it disappear`s    for good.

 

I cant add the attachments for some reason but below links should work

 

Page 1 of letter - https://ibb.co/275Dt9y

Page 2 of letter - https://ibb.co/mqQwFMn

 

Now they also asked for a full incoming and outgoing funds assessment. I guess they want to see how much im worth.

 

Aprreciate any advice on next steps

Hi @rgaine

 

I don`t think bankruptcy will help you. Well it may stop these types chasing you for money but won`t help you with anything else. . 

 

Personally it's just something i`m willing to accept for the next 20 years, that every now and again, a company like this will see if they can trick me into paying. 

 

Only way to get rid is to actually pay it but where is the fun in that :)

 

I`m sure you have had a click around but if not

 

 

is a great thread and you will find a link in there (post #10) from @dx100uk with a link to the instructions for your reply (go down to post #5), which should be easy enough to follow.

 

Basically you CANT ignore the PAP or that get an easy win 

 

Hope that helps, if not, im sure others will be along soon and point you in the right direction 

 

Peace :peace:

Please do remember that this thread is for Jollyrodger and not to go through other peoples issues/questions. 

 

For Bankruptcy, think (from memory, but complex issue) you can only include foreign debts within UK Bankuptcy, if you have been resident in the UK for 3 years or less. There are companies that specialise in Bankruptcy from abroad, so look into that by searching.

 

And if you did manage to include foreign debt in bankruptcy, it just stops enforcement in UK. The debt may still exist and cause issues outside the UK. 

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks for your note much appreciated but I can and will ignore as much as I can as I have done for many years until correct laws are followed.

 

If and when the time comes thanks Bankruptcy will help me a lot (you don't know my situation) but appreciated the link very helpful.

 

I will not see anybody in a court room for a foreign debt nor should anyone on here be entertaining sending paperwork, financial details etc to a firm that do not even own your debt ! and then on the backside the hammered by other collection agents etc for the same debt to be collected.

 

Once again I go with DX statement from a few years back that scaremongering is not the way.

Been on the journey since 2009 and riding well

2009 then it’s statue barred anyway it’s 10 years in uae
