A Shade greener leased boiler - terms & conditions

[BankFodder]

In order to put it into the hands of a debt collector, they would have to sue you and get a judgement against you. Of course they will say that you have broken the terms and conditions. However, you will say that they have broken their own terms and conditions and acted unreasonably.

Of course there is always a risk that you might lose. But frankly I think that there is a huge risk that they will lose. I would say that your chances of success are much better than 95% – and even if you lost, it would not bring an end to the contract.
There is no court that would order the termination of the contract in the circumstances.

Of course another thing you could do could be to make a complaint to the financial ombudsman service but that is far less certain and the result for ASG would be much more palatable.

However, don't forget that in addition to advising individuals how to protect themselves, this website is also about throwing down the gauntlet to corporate bullies. If you are able to keep the appointment for the 24th then of course the easiest thing for you for a peaceful life is simply to allow the service to go ahead – but don't imagine that it will be any easier to stand up to the next time.

My own view is that you are on safe ground if you are simply expecting reasonable behaviour from them. It is already clear from their own terms and conditions that they contemplate that somebody might need to cancel an appointment and book another.

I'm sorry to say but I don't understand why you are so concerned about their terms and conditions generally – but this particular term of the contract you seem to be ignoring.

debt collectors can do nothing

they are not bailiffs.

It's not that simple to me, I don't understand the legal system.

Could they put it in the hands of a debt collector, put an order against my property etc, ..you say I won't have to pay the £2400...how are you so sure, you say they have probably broken thier own T & Cs by not servicing my boiler by 18th January, but probably is no good, I need to be certain.

 

Previous cases I have dealt with ASG do not use debt collectors...you either conform or they litigate...as for an order against your property...well they all ready have that don't they ? Their finance model works like a Bill of Sale.....check your agreement /land registry.
