    • 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.

Hi all, hope everyone is ok?

After some advice/assistance in regards to a Tesco Bank Credit Card & the Late Payment and Over Limit charges.


Trying to help someone out who wants to get rid of the card all together, as they have refused to assist with delaying payments for the past 3mths as she has been over the credit limit.
The Current Balance is £320.30 with a Credit Limit of £250.00

 

Statements that she has available show the following fees applied:

19/07/2018 to 20/07/2019:

02 x Late Payment @ £12 
12 x Over Limit @ £12 


21/07/2019 to 19/06/2020
03 x Late Payment @ £12 
10 x Over Limit @ £12 
 

Total fees paid: £324.00

Can you tell me if it's still possible to reclaim these fee's / penalties - I did have a template letter link booked marked but this no longer opens.

Thanks in advance.

they'll just remove it from the balance

Nope.

She's missed the last two months payments and potentially will miss the next, as she has priority bills to pay with her small income.

 

Her statements show that she had been making payments between £30-120 to get it below the credit limit.

But then the purchases bring her close to limit  (Only uses it for fuel purchase and parking) & then the interest throws her over limit.

 

She just wants the account closed, and I thought yeah refunds.

 

Can you advise best way to go about it, such as the link to template?

Hi Ads,

 

Do you know how far back your person has statements for.

 

If they've incurred late or missed payment fees before Covid19, do they have statements so you could accurately list all penalty/admin fees paid in the last 6 years.

 

If they're going to challenge the balance, they may as well include all charges incurred in the last 6 years.

We could do with some help from you

Tey have only upto Dec 2018 and an annual statement summary that was July 2018 to July 2019.

According to her credit file the account was opened July 2016 & no late payment / over limit markers show up until July 18.

Ok, it sounds like you're saying there were no penalty/admin chages before July 2018.

 

If that's the case, we can help her reclaim the penalty/admin fees charged by Tesco bank which should reduce the balance or get her a refund, depending on the figures.

 

Do you (or YF) want to go ahead with reclaiming the charges.

Ok, first job is to list each and every late fee, over-limit fee, etc on to a spreadsheet.

 

Being honest, I'm not sure where the Site Spreadsheets are right now. In the past, we've advised reclaiming the charges plus compound interest but, in your case here, I suggest YF challenges the charges to get them withdrawn.

 

Let us know when the charges have been listed, showing date, type of fee, amounts and total.

Thanks DX.

 

Ads-uk - I suggest you use the 1st sheet which works out 8% Statutory Int on each charge.

 

This should be sent to the bank with an appropriate Reclaim letter in due course.

Thanks Ads,

 

I'm looking to find the Reclaim Letters we've used in the past, or their current equivalents.

 

You need them to write to the bank demanding that they withdraw the penalty/admin fees.

 

Bear with us while I do some searching .........

30 min call just had on behalf of friend with Tesco to verify my details to act on her behalf.


They have refused to give me an email address to contact, when I said I will use the Resolve portal, the CS agent put me on hold, to comeback and said everything must be in writing and will only be accepted as a Letter!


Went on to say, a payment freeze of 3mths can be put on the account and he could refund the last two months charges - tried and couldn't (as the account is in arrears)


He then said his manager has said as a gesture of good will his manager has said they will refund one month - would I like that to be applied to the account.


I asked if that would be full and final of the complaint I wish to make, he said he is unsure and his manager is now on lunch - refused this.

They will not pass out the complaints department details.

they will if you want to make a complaint register this on your behalf, and only then will the complaints team call - "they do not respond in writing".

This I can see is going to be a joke when I eventually do send them a letter. (prob. via Resolve)

dont use resolver its useless

 

stick to the tried and test methods that give you a legally traceable papertrail.

 

i'm not sure where you ever got the idea that ringing them anyway would ever provide a resolution..

 

send everything in his name.

you don't need to be his appointed representative.

they have no idea he is not instigating this as long as he signs things.

This was the best bit.. they called me, as she gave them my details to act on her behalf.

They rang to ask me different questions.

I only confirmed my Name, they wanted address, phone number, email if I was employed.

Hi Ads,

 

We haven't forgotten you and we're working on getting you the letter to send to the bank to reclaim the charges properly, and in writing.

 

Please wait for this and don't involve Resolver as they're unlikely to get the result YF deserves.

Quick question.

As the account is over its limit and in arrears should Tesco be refusing a freeze on the account?

They have just rang my friend and she's panicking.
They've stated she will continue to accrue charges and fees & warrant debt collection & that the terms of the Covid freeze will not allow them to apply a freeze as it would put the account further into arrears?

Surely they should be allowing a freeze on the account under the CONC 7.3?

I understand the COVID 19, part - and it was them that contacted her and told her she does not qualify for any payment freeze.

Does this mean that the COVID-19 regulation/guidelines now override the FCA's Conc 7.3 advice on forbearance?

No not at all...but she does not qualify for a freeze under the Covid 19 payment holiday arrangments.
