    • let the ombudsman do their job. you'll win handsdown you dont obv owe OVO p'haps anything at all.  dont worry about Past Due credit or any other DCA ( THEY ARE NOT BAILIFFS!) as for you being added to the debt, thats quite OK, you were a resident adult and equally liable under law. once you start getting things moving via the  ombudsman dont forget to get your credit files cleansed of any negative data & seek compensation for distress etc, again the  ombudsman should sort both out for you. as you are now NOT a customer of OVO, there is very very little they can do to you now.  
    • A question - did you use the supermarket or the restaurant? I see the restrictions are different. Sign.pdf
    • DN is ok DCA NOA is ok, though not one from Newday saying they've sold it. agreement states esigned on a sunday at 11am?? really??  but no typed names or tick box nor any IP address used. if the date is correct then poss ok, it that your correct address for that time of take out? but if not, then that could simply be a copy of someone elses they've used with you details copy'n'pasted over theirs. the agreement details separate T&C's in at least 8.4. a full set of T&C containing your correct address for the time MUST be included. failure renders the agreement unenforceable... have you the T&C's too? dx
    • Npower and Scottish Power and others have always had regulations that require them to treat customers fairly - the threads here and my experiences demonstrate that those regs are little more than useless.   Even Octopus recently spent month after month saying they needed to increase my monthly payments despite my credit balance slowly going up TWICE I had to reset it online back to prior payment as they unilaterally increased it unilaterally. Raised formal complaint and they than said i was paying too much and reduced the payment, again without my agreement, although that time at least they told me they were doing it.   .. and Octopus has been one of the better ones.    
    • Thank you. You left all your personal details showing on the invoice, but I've removed them. From Googling it seems the free parking is limited to one hour.  You stayed two.  There is no point appealing, you did overstay.  That's apart from the fact the private parking companies are just interested in £££££ and never accept appeals. We have other Iceland cases, Iceland as a company refuse to have these invoices cancelled. So it's up to you. Pay £51 and the matter goes away. Or refuse to pay.  Horizon very rarely do court.  We would support you all the way.

    • 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.

So it seems there is something odd about Guto Harri's security clearance. It normally takes weeks or months to go through and his appointment was only announced on Friday. Gor this and othe reasons, there are people on Twitter waiting to see if he gets past the 10 days that Scaramucci lasted.

 

And the Met are reconsidering whether to investigate the Xmas quiz party now the Mirror have published the new photo.

 

Another difficcult week for Johnson but he's determined to hang on.

Well his example of 'Brexit opportunities' is Move your legit business to the EU, and the rest invest in dodgy African type dealings isnt it?

 

 

I absolutely agree with Major on his points there as demonstrated earlier here.

I get fed up with people saying they are all the same, when it seems quite clear thats just touted as a perspective for them to either

 

1. Excuse the abuses and misdeeds of their own favorite demagogue - generally one of the main offenders

2. Excuse not having a clue and not bothering to rectify that

 

They aren't all the same, its just we seem to be seeing more of the worst under Johnson (not that Corbyn was lining up to be better)

I see Truss is going to see Putin, perhaps to confirm that the “toughest sanctions regime against Russia” she talks about remains blocked, as will any action against the vast amounts of corrupt oligarch money there is invfested and cleaned in the Oligarch capital of  Londongrad.

 

Can't see any other reason for him to bother seeing her, other than for her to receive a basic geography lesson or 2.

It didn't seem to go well in Moscow, did it? I saw a short video clip Twitter where la Truss had to be told to stop talking so the translator could tell Lavrov what she was saying.

 

He said it was like talking to a deaf person and that she came out with slogans. Embarrassing.

I see Cress is sniping at Khan

- undoubtedly Khan made it clear he would require personal weekly updates on her actions to address the issues that she was put in place to address those years ago as well as all the new ones that had come to light in her tenure ...

.. and she found it untenable to continue kicking issues into the long grass,let alone simply deny they existed or  whitewash them under such unreasonable demands, so was forced to resign

As well as losing the confidence of the Mayor over her failures to address issues (other than by denial, obfuscation, whitewash and cover-ups) , Cress has also apparently lost the confidence of the PM (Party Minister) over her failure to effectively deny, obfuscate, whitewash and cover-up ...

 

"Prime minister Boris Johnson will appoint a private lawyer if he is questioned by the police over allegations that flouted lockdown rules by attending parties.

Mr Johnson has lined up a legal expert on coronavirus regulations to help him defend his participation in the parties, The Times reported.

The move comes shortly after Scotland Yard that officers would be contacting more than 50 people, who will be sent questionnaires with “formal legal status” over the dozen events held in No 10 and Whitehall buildings during Covid restrictions.

The prime minister, who reportedly attended six of those parties being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, is expected to be among them.

Earlier, No 10 said the prime minister will not receive personal legal advice from government lawyers."

The leaked questionnaire

 

Did you attend a party?

Did you give cake or drinks to the Met officers who definitely weren't present?

Was it you that broke the swing or slide?

 

Note:

Be aware that answering yes to any of the above may require your resignation from government .. unless you are a minister.

lets just be clear where frosts cabel is wanting to head:

 

WWW.INDEPENDENT.CO.UK

More than 30 Tory MPs and peers are calling for Boris Johnson to end the UK’s moratorium on shale gas mining.

 

 

"“To replace half the gas we import, we’d likely need around 6,000 new wells, with all the associated industrial equipment & endless movements of trucks ferrying toxic chemicals & wastewater to & from sites. It’s hard to imagine communities across the UK being ok with that."

 

“And given the gas would be produced by private firms and sold at the highest price (internationally), there would likely be no measurable impact on UK gas prices anyway.”
