    • 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.

This sounds like March last year.

 

Officials are doing “as much as we possibly can” to accommodate the European football championship after it was reported the government is to allow thousands of VIPs into England without the need to quarantine to stop the final being moved from Wembley to Budapest, a minister has said.

Binned? What do you know, TJ?

 

I'm also interested in whether the UK has exported any vaccines yet.

 

To my knowledge the UK has not exported or donated a single vaccine anywhere

The aussie ones (which they ended up not wanting) were apparently from EU manufactured stocks

 

Not looked hard yet, but no signs of whats happening to any older UK stocks, although in the earlier stages hospitals and surgeries were vaccinating staff (and quite rightly too) with any left overs.

 

Cant belive that there haven't been any stocks that went past their use/storage date - and none donated anywhere

- a further revelation to come?

Looking at front page of some UK newspapers, it appears the Secretary of State for Health Matt Hancock has been taking part in a new Covid testing trial.  The trial being, how to carry out a lateral flow test on two people at the same time ;)

 

Are there no limits to the sacrifices this Minister is willing to make for the country !

Shows the utter incompetence of the populists, whos excuse is always 'how could anybody see what was there to be clearly seen rather than the fantasies we pulled out of our asses because it suited our spin' aka incompetence++ (plus plus malicious negligence)

 

They just had to look at MERS, to confirm the reports coming out of China to see that this was not  'just another flu'

- even if they preferred their politicians fantasies to the science stated by real UK scientists.

 

In perhaps as little as 25 years COV (as we currently know it) may well largely be (or well on the way to be) 'just another flu

- when it has had time to 'cull' all those susceptible and the survivors have higher levels of natural immunity (survival of the 'fittest') - just like with 'just other flus'

 

... even if this does end up being 'the big one' as it may still be.

Reports from Doctors that those going into Hospital with Covid  at the moment, are in a more serious condition than they were previously.  Is this people who have not had vaccinations.

 

Or are people who have had the vaccinations,  waiting too long to seek help, if  they become unwell, thinking that the vaccination immunity should be given a chance to work.

It does appear that the vast majority of hospital cases are the unvaccinated.  There will be those in whom the vaccine doesn't work of course and (guessing) those vaccinated who have comorbidities.  They'd still be at greater risk of more serious symptoms, just hopefully not as serious as if they had no vaccine protection.

There are also instances of significant infection among the double vaccinated without underlying complications (Andrew Marr for one), but they do seem quite significantly less severe than they would have been - but still bad to bloody awful. (think your jab symptoms multiplied)

 

Any who think that vaccination is the end of it is greatly mistaken - sadly. I now have veryy little doubt there is going to be another very significant wave through this autumn/winter. How severe depends on

* the vaccination levels - and the clear understanding that 'herd immunity' levels seem to be mathematically impossible (see the math higher in the thread)

* the effectiveness of any booster jabs against the new variants and any more new variants (what booster jabs would they be?) and the impact of breakout colds/flu/other respiratory illnesses on spread and immune systems

* and of course the competence of our leaders

... so it does seem that we are likely well and truly f***ed as things stand
