    • Yes, but the process starts here... https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/what-to-expect/ This involves making a complaint to GS first before approaching ICO. However, at the time of the complaint, I beleive we'd advise the complainant to ask for some compensation and take it from there. @FTMDave?? No, I meant this forum, The Consumer Action Group, where you're posting right now.😄 (We're in the slow process of rebranding as The National Consumer Service.)
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021. npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279. The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills. I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this. EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.  I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.  And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court.

    • 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 this is a review about Gymetc, Orrell.

 

I have been attending this gym for quite some time and have found it helps immensely with my mental health and wellbeing.

 

Just yesterday, I was suspended from this gym without any notice of explanation as to why.

 

Gossip has circulated and apparently I have offended somone in the changing rooms because I have been seen naked.

 

The changing room has only 2 modesty rooms and this is unavoidable.

 

Managers, Leonie  (Orrell branch) and Richard Area Manager (Leyland Branch) have not gave me a lawful and binding reason for the suspension.

 

I was threatened by staff that they had been ordered to call the Police if I am found on the premises even though my membership is still active and they have yet to reimburse me. I

 

have tried to contact various managers all over the country regarding this issue and have been 'fobbed off'.

 

Furthermore the staff have been very rude to me and have expressed their dislike of me verbally and in front of other members of the gym.

 

Gymetc does not appear to have a complaints procedure and I am struggling to fight my corner and feel very frustrated and discriminated against. Can you please explain how a make a complaint. Thank you, .

Maybe you could post a link to this gym website – in particular the terms and conditions.

I can't imagine that they don't reserve the right to exclude people but of course if it has cost you money then you will be entitled to recover that.

Presumably you are talking about a single sex changing room?

How much longer was there to run on your membership? What is the value of that? Have you any other gymnasiums in your area? How do their fees compared with this existing one?

Hi CBB and welcome to CAG

 

Have you received any written contact by letter or email from the gym. If so, please tell us briefly what they said.

 

Without seeing any T&C's for the gym, it's difficult to judge if the gym staff actions were right or wrong, let alone lawful (as you suggest).

 

However, the reality is you're not going to be welcome back in the gym and you need to cancel your DD mandate immediately via your bank. 

 

Find another gym that you could use locally and try to avoid doing anything that others may find questionable or offensive.

 

If you find using a gym so helpful to you, it is surely worth doing your best to avoid any further problems.

We could do with some help from you

Dear all,

 

I have nothing other than a voicemail from the Manager saying they have had quote "lots of complaints" about me to head-office yet they still are refusing to give me an answer and I still have no idea what I have done to offend (if anything).

 

This happened at my last gym after almost two years of bullying and creating false allegations about what I was supposed to have done (everything from taking up too much space in the Ladies changing room to pouring water over myself in the sauna ((which never happened))..

 

This cannot be allowed to happen a second time. It is very obvious to me and other gym members with whom I still have contact, that this is something personally aimed at me for whatever reason.

 

I have not broken one of the gym rules, having gone through the ettiquete with a fine toothed comb... 

 

I am busy with a no win-no fee solicitor right now.

 

I have Asperger's and I am certain this classed as discrimination.

 

All I want is to be able to train in quiet, leave me the hell alone to body-build and do nothing to demand attention and this is how I get treated?

Hi CBB,

 

If you have a no Won, No Fee solicitor you're using just now, then I suggest you wait for their next advice if they have any.

 

If they have nothing useful to take your case forward, let us know and we'll do what we can to help you further.

Here is a link to Gymetc's terms and conditions and I am still none the wiser to why my termination.

 

https://www.gymetc.co.uk/terms-and-conditions

 

https://www.gymetc.co.uk/

 

My membership must run until February 2019 as stipulated on my Direct Debit Agreement with Harland's (email details included in the terms and conditions link.

 

The manager at Orrell left a voice-mail stating I will get a refund but as to how much?  I have no idea.

 

I am currently unemployed due to my ill health and currently pay 19.99 GBP per month (one of the cheapest gyms within my vicinity)

We're way past Feb 2019 - did you mean 2020 ?

 

In any event, never mind a refund - if you're not welcome at the gym, cancel the DD mandate immediately.

 

Don't bother with what Harlands tell you and don't speak to them at all, for any reason ! They tell porkies and have nothing at all to do with you being unwelcome at the gym.

 

Let us know how it goes with the No Win , No Fee solicitor.
