    • 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!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?

    • 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 Willett and welcome to the club!

 

Which bank are you claiming against? Unfortunately its not quite as simple as "give me my money back" you need to know the exact amounts and dates etc. Do you have this information to hand (ie. internet banking or statements)?

 

Its best to have a good look through the FAQs first, to familiarise yourself with the process. Also read some "victory" threads under your banks forum to understand you likely process. The threads are a good source of encouragement too.

I know this may sound stupid but im 42 and never had to deal with anything like this before my ex husband used to do all this kind of thing for me. Il be honest with you its very scary. I do hope you can help me it would be very much appreciated.

I think everyones a little nervous :eek: when they start the claim process, but theres no need to be.

 

You can claim back up to 6 years. So like I said earlier, you need to know details of the charges you are claiming back. (Eg. On the 23rd June 2002 charged £30.00 for an unpaid direct debit). The charges you can claim for are, unpaid direct debit, unpaid standing order, unpaid cheque and overdraft excess fee. Account fees are non-claimable and also overdraft interest can be a tricky one to work out.

 

Depending on whether you know this information, depends on the next stage. If you don't know all your charges then you need to ask the bank to send them to you. If you do know them you can start writing the letters out.

 

Have a good rummage through you banks forum and the FAQs for help.

hi there we have got all our statements for the last year and a half which was when we opened the account. So we know how much charges have been taken out of the account to date. where do we go from here:o . By the way could we also claim for charges from another bank at the same time as we have an account with the Yorkshire bank, we have been with them for the last four years. Also i cant find the scales in the top right hand corner, to let you know you are being very helpfull so far and you have made me feel a little better about how to go about it all thanks so much:o :) .

A whole day? Did you not see the link I posted above?

 

All you need to do with the spreadsheet is enter your details as they appear on your statements, the rest is done for you. If you use the advanced spreadsheet it will work out your 8% interest too.

Willett, found your thread - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/faqs-please-read-these/25457-user-guide-contacts-list.html?garpg=3 I used these step by step instructions much easier to follow than the others more basic and deals with it as points for action with no jargon! Hope this helps

:pSuzi x x

 

A&L - WON! - £5111.05

Halifax Visa repaid nearly £300 into defaulted card account!! At least I owe them less now I guess!

Halifax card cash account started then stayed!

Lloyds for a friend started then stayed nice letter though!

NO!!! Don't allow more time for Christmas. My court papers were due in the middle of Dec and I asked the court if I should allow more time and they said catagorically NO. A deadline is a deadline and like Michael said, they don't stop charging you!

Thanks so much to suzi for finding my thread. well am back on track now having got a reply to my LBA just telling me no can do. so have started proceedings to go to court will let you know how i get on. After reading all the threads of people who have won i feel rather silly about claiming mine back as it is only £500. I know thats still a lot f money and i would rather have it than let the banks keep it.
