    • Massive issues from Scottish Power I wonder if someone could advise next steps. Tennant moved out I changed the electric into my name I was out the country at the time so I hadn't been to the flat. During sign up process they tried to hijack my gas supply as well which I made it clear I didn't want duel fuel from them but they still went ahead with it. Phoned them up again. a few days later telling them to make sure they stopped it but they said too late ? had to get my current supplier to cancel it. Paid £50 online to ensure there was money covering standing charges etc eventually got to the flat no power. Phoned Scottish Power 40 minutes to get through they state I have a pay as you go meter and that they had set me up on a credit account so they need to send an engineer out which they will pass my details onto. Phone called from engineer asking questions , found out the float is vacant so not an emergency so I have to speak to Scottish Power again. Spoke with the original person from Scottish Power who admitted a mistake (I had told her it was vacant) and now states that it will take 4 weeks to get an appointment but if I want to raise a complaint they will contact me in 48 hours and it will be looked at quicker. Raised a complaint , complaints emailed me within 24 hours to say it will take 7 days till he speaks with me. All I want is power in the property would I be better switching over to EON who supply the gas surely they could sort it out quicker? One thing is for sure I will never bother with Scottish Power ever again.

    • 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.

One more prob: I'm still waiting for my December statement :evil: I've complained to the data protection comissioner, practically harrassed Abbey with letters and I still haven't got it. About £ 400 of charges were taken in December:mad: . I'm just waiting to it to amend my claim. Will I ever see it?:confused:

Estelle,

 

I've not had this problem becaus I had my statements, but I know it's general practice to estimate for any missing statements so can't you show this one as an estimate based on the best of your knowledge, and if push does come to shove and you have to stand in front of a judge then you've got a pile of letters a foot high to show how much effort you've gone to to get the true figure, and how intransigent Abbey have been.

 

Only a suggestion, like.

Estellabianca, ......... and just remember this is almost certainly going to end up in a telephone haggle with Abbey just prior to the Court date. So that's when you demand the December charges. And if they refuse, just tell 'em you'll see them in Court. They might say they weren't on your N1, but Charleyfarley's right - your correspondence about it puts you on good ground for Court if it ever got there. Regards, Mad Nick

hi Estellabianca

 

When Abbey sends out the usual monthly statements, the notification of any fees due to come out from your account in the following month is detailed on the front page.

However, when they send out duplicate statements, that bit of the computer programme or whatever they use doesn't kick in as the fees are in the past.

 

BUT the fees that were taken out are still there, you just have to look very carefully through the details of the statements, in the transaction listings. The fees are always taken on about the same date each month, so if you find some other fees and check the date they were taken, and look under that date each month, you should be able to track down every fee that has been taken.

 

They can't erase transaction details, as if they did that there would be more money in your account!

Hi all, I just received a letter from Abbey offering full and final settlement offer for £1000 which is half of what they owe me and I also received a copy of their defence. What should I do next? Do I have to write to abbey to refuse the offer? or accept it as a part settlement? What is going to happen next?

Hi Estella,

 

It's a standard practice of Abbey's to send out a 50% Offer and defence letter at this stage. Tell them to go forth and muliply ( there is a template for this under "Rejecting GOGW payments" ) and wait for an Allocation Questionnaire from the court. When you have read it and understood it fully then come back to the forum and explain it all to me because I'm about 2 days behind you:)

Thanks:) .

I've had a look at the template letters under rejecting GOGW and I'm not sure whether I should use letter 5 or 6:confused:. In my case I have started the court claim. But I have received in the same envelop from Abbey the 50% offer signed Abbey and their defence apparently it's a copy of the defence from a county court (Plymouth):confused: The defence is signed Abbey National plc and I don't have the names of their solicitors or solicitors firm:confused: strangely.

Should I use the template letter 5 or 6?:confused:

Do I have to attach to the n149 a draft order as well?:confused: Please confirming you don't have to its your choice the aim of the draft order is that if the judge takes it up, it speeds thing up. however, please read it carefully as the danger for you is that you must supply all the info request within 14days so if you do decide to attach it, start familiarising yourself with the basic court bundle and other info to add to it. And one more question: should I write to Abbey to give them a last chance to pay me in full before I fill in the allocation questionaire like sam did?
you can if you want it just lets them know your intentions however, they'll soon get the drift when they receive your court papers. If they have put the funds in your acc or sent you a cheque, i would reply to them with a rejection (if its in your acc, make sure you don't touch it1)

have you looked at it, it asks for the legislation you are going to use to argue your case, statement of evidence, any witnesses you are going to rely on ... would you like me to post the link for you?

Hi, the draft Directions to attach to an AQ are here : http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/57708-draft-order-allocation-questionnaires.html

The idea is to see if you can get the Judge to put a bit more pressure on the Bank to disclose the rationale behind its charges with the aim of getting them to cave in sooner. The Judge will do what he likes, and if he ignores your draft Directions it won't count against you and won't make any difference in the long run - the Banks will still never disclose. Regards, Mad Nick

:) Hi all! I've got a little problem: I'm at the Allocation questionnaire stage with Abbey. I'm going to send mine off next monday.

I've just received my monthly bank statement and it's written that I'm going to be charged again in April:mad: £35.00 for an unpaid standing order which I cancelled anyway but the following day, after the payment due date:mad: .

What can I do about it? Is Abbey supposed to continue charging a customer even knowing that court action has already started about bank charges?:mad: What can I do to stop them from taking my money again?:mad:

Please help:confused:
