    • Doc 04-19-2024 11-01-51-merged-compressed.pdf good morning.    9 pages attached.    thank you  UCM
    • Hi I was being supplied my ovo after unknowingly being swapped from SSE.  My issues began when we had a smart meter fitted and our bills almost doubled overnight - we at the time assumed we were just paying not enough until then and just continued to pay the excess bills each. Month.    I would from time to time contact ovo and get faced with a call centre on South Africa of the most rude agents who would just hang up after hours of wait and I could not even get an acknowledgement of an issue with my meter.  At one point we were not in the property for like 4 months and the bills were coming just as high!  It was at this point I was sure something is not right and ovo only care to send bailiffs and started threatening us with a pay as you go meter despite me taking out a 3.5k loan to pay of my outstanding balance.  Around 1600 each on both gas and electricity.  This is where its gets really bad -  the very same day they sent me out a new bill saying the money paid already was only to cover up until the November previous and because its now Feb we owe another 1k.   By that August this had risen to over 3k and I still couldn't get anyone to even acknowledge a fault let alone fix it.    In despair I tried to swap suppliers and to my surprise octopus accepted us because even tho the debt is owed we are trying deal with.  During our time with them the bill was coming only on my wife's name as I was responsible for other bills and she this one - now that we owe them 3k they have magically started adding my name as well as my wife's to the same debt to apply double pressure and its showing on my experiwn report now with a question mark and 2700 showing in grey -  This was my wife's debt which we dispute we owe yet the have now sent me letter with both our names on from oriel and past due credit debt agencies - is this illegal and how can I get them to take my. Name of this and leave on wife's name as its so unfair they give us a both a defualt for wife's debt which we dispute anyway.    In the end about 3 weeks ago I wrote an email to their ceo and rishi sunak and low and behold for the first time in our history with ovo someone who spoke English contacted us and said she will look into our claim.    I explained to her that we feel our meter is faulty and despite me contacting them using WhatsApp email and phone I still have not got anyone to acknowledge a fault even. And that I dispute I Owe anything as my son was in hospital for 3 months and we stayed with him so house was empty and still. They were sending us super sized bills more than when we started at home.  She promised to investigate and a few days later replied that she is sorry for the poor customer service and offered us £50 compensation - however she also. Mentioned that she's attached statements for us confirming the payment for 3k I made was only up until Nov and in Feb despite me pay 3.5k nearly it's correct for them to bill. Me. Another £900 the very same day and she did not agree our meter was faulty and therfore the debt stands and she will not be calling it bcak from past due credit.  During my time with my new supplier post ovo, octopus I requested tehy check my. Meters because I felt they were faulty and over charging me and I got excellent response asking me for further details which I supplied and I got a. Response bcak within days to say my meter was indeed faulty and octopus have now remotely repaired it.   I then contacted the energy ombudsman and explained my situation how she at ovo tried to fob me off and demand I apy money we don't feel we owe due to faulty equipment we reported but ovo had to process or mechanism to deal with it or lodge complaint even without having to cc their ceo and our pm. And now I feel sick to think both husband and wife will get a 6  year default for debt which have a validity of a questionable nature.    I explained all this to the energy ombudsman and they accepted my case and I explained to them that my new supplier found my fault which ovo refueed to accept - I've uploaded the email from new supplier to ombudsman showing we had a fault.    My. Question is is there anything I can upload in defence of my case to ombudsman before they decide outcome ina few weeks    All advice greatly appreciated not only would I like advice on how to clear this debt but also how I can pursue ovo for compensation and deterrence for the future.  Thansk 
    • Thanks for the reply dubai 50 - if the statute is 10 years it has long passed - if it is 15 years i havea few months left. i shall ignore until it gets serious  An update - - I sent the letter to the bank in Dubai ( I did get delivery confirmation from Royal Mail)   - I have moved to a new address ( this is the address i gave to the bank in dubai)  - IDR are continuing to send Letters to the old address, which leads me to believe they are not in contact with the bank at all. - i have not replied to any correspondence digital or hard as they are non threatening ( as of yet).

    • 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 I hope someone out there can help with this, I received this from the Court this morning, Cobblers have already made me an offer last week of £1100 ( Natwest owe me £1990.04 plus court fees) and I rejected it...the last day to settle is 17th Jan, so I need to know whether to write back asap to Cobblers and accept their offer after all....much bum twitching occuring today!! Just to note that I have not received a court date as yet, filed my AQ on 21st Dec. Sounds to me like the court has got it in for me, never mind Nat West...help!!! What do I do?!!! My POC was pasted in from this site as were all the reply letters that I needed to send...here's the letter anyway...

 

IT IS ORDERED THAT

 

1. The claim be stayed as it makes no serious attempt to comply with CPR 16.4(1) by setting out a concise statement of the facts. (Stylised particulars do not constitute compliance.)

 

2. The claimant must amend or substitute its particulars of claim setting out the claimants case in plain English by 4.00pm on 29th January 2007 and in default, the claim be struck out without further notice.

 

If the above order is complied with the Defendant has permission to file and serve an amended defence in accordance with CPR 16.5 setting out its case in plain English.

 

2. This order was made without a hearing. Any party affected by it may apply within 7 days of service for it to be set aside, varied or stayed.:confused:

 

Dated 10th January 2007:-x

 

So there you have it....any ideas anyone? Deal or No Deal?!!!!:mad:

You are right to be concerned - this isn't a tactic I have seen from the courts before.

 

As Chuck says, can you post EXACTLY what was in your POC so we can examine it throughly.

 

Keep calm - you have 14 days to sort it out. It's not all over by any means.

Hi thanks for replying quickly...I think I may have muffed up, I have only just noticed that the total amount of charges on my POC include the 8% interest of 281.04. The interest is also detailed on the POC presumably to be added on top. This is incorrect on my part, should the charges on the POC be £1709.00 plus the interest? ie. £1709 + £281.04 = £1990.04? Maybe the judge is asking me to amend this? What do you think? Here's the POC details anyway...

 

1. The claimant has an account ******** with the defendant opened Dec 2002. 2. Since 20/2/03 the defendant debited charges and interest in respect of purported breaches of contract. 3. Defendant is aware of all details as a list of charges has already been supplied. Another copy will be sent. 4. Claimant contends (a) the charges exceed the defendants losses caused by the breaches (b) the term permitting the defendant to levy such charges is unenforceable under the Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations 1999, Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 and at Common Law. 5. Claimant claims: (a) return of the amounts debited of £1990.04: (b) interest per S.69 County Courts Act 1984 of 8% - £281.04 continuing at 8% until judgement or settlement at a daily rate of £0.44; 6. Alternatively, if the charges are a fee for a service, then they must be reasonable under S.15 of the Suppy of Goods and Services Act 1982. 7. Costs allowed by the Court.

 

I hope that if it is my rubbish maths that I have muffed up, then I will be able to amend this? Do you think this is the issue? Thanks again!!!!:-|

Hope I can amend this with the Judge!!

If no one else gets back to you sit tight till tomorrow. I think I can see the problem but I want to spend more time reading it through.

 

I'm in court on Wednesday so I'm a bit preoccupied but I'll try and give you an accurate answer tomorrow.

I don't see this as a major problem ( famous last words!!! lol)

 

Your POC's basically comply with CPR 16.4. given the space limitations on MCOL. See here:

PART 16 - STATEMENTS OF CASE

 

Anyway the judge has given you the opportunity to submit a much fuller statement of case. See here:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/abbey-bank/57385-examples-witness-statements-disclosure.html

 

These are templates and you will need to amend the details and delete or add where necessary.

Michael...

 

Thanks for the info, we managed to cobble something together fairly similar to this info from stuff on this site and got it off in the post to the court today cc'd to Cobblers...is it likely that having had an offer from them of just over half last week, we will get the full settlement in the post shortly? It seems to be the way of things generally, but knowing how my luck runs, it won't happen for me!! Will Cobblers sniff victory having received a copy of the court letter requesting POC amendment and hold out for court? I was under the impression that it isn't worth their time and effort to have to attend court when they can pay up in full for such a small(ish) amount? Is this the case? It's all very worrying and I can see exactly why people bottle it and take their 1st offer to avoid all the grief...I, however, am made of sterner stuff....QUITTERS NEVER WIN AND WINNERS NEVER QUIT!!! There, thats that out of my system!! Hope to get more good advice from you soon...Cheers!!!:D
