    • Our price is the same all day, but varies day to day. Yes there's a risk of high prices but it has never gone above SVR any time since I signed up. Last 30 days average 17.67p/kWh, max 20.67 and lowest was 11.83.  It saved just under £300 during 2023.  
    • 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!...

    • 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 all,

 

I knew I would find it somewhere!! Had another look on the FSA website regarding the 'Test Case' and the start date of the case:

Taken from a section of the announcement.

 

 

Court 'test case'

This court case is being called a 'test case' because the decision will clarify the law on these charges. The court's decision is likely to apply to all existing and future claims against these charges. We believe this will deliver a fair outcome for consumers because, once the test case has established a clear basis for resolving these complaints, firms can deal with them in a fair and consistent way.

The test case is likely to start later this year, but not earlier than October. :rolleyes:

So WHY ARE THE COURTS STAYING NOW WHEN THE 'TEST CASE' HAS NOT EVEN STARTED????? :confused:

Can we use this as a condition to have the stays lifted, the courts are stating during the test case period, yet it has not started!!!!!!:mad:

Now there's an idea!! Any mods advice welcome and do you think it could work.???:cool:

stay fresh peeps

regards chris

It would be very useful if you could post what your local court has told you regarding stay on claims due to the OFT report. We dont need to know what the banks said, we all know they will just tell us that they have a stay and that is that.

I am Hoping that this list will help in our argument to have stays set aside, by demonstrating to judges that (at the moment) the majority of courts are continuing with claims on a case by case basis, which is a fair and just way to continue.

I also hope to raise the awareness a bit, it may give us all a bit of hope if anyone was fearing the banks letters were right saying all cases were stayed when in fact they werent.

 

All the below seem to be playing by a case by case basis and appear to be all proceeding as normal:

1.6 The OFT recognises the desirability of achieving a fair and orderly resolution of the relevant issues and will not object to any request or application for a stay of other court proceedings between the Banks and their customers concerning the Relevant Terms and/or Relevant Charges.

 

From the official notice re the Test Case.

 

So there you have it - handed to the banks on a golden plate.:mad:

 

It also goes on about appeals, but I couldn't get my head round it all. :o

 

It's a pdf document here if you want to have a read (apologies if you already have) :

Just found out from West London County Court that Abbey has applied for stay on my claim. The guy on the phone stressed that it would not automatically be granted (think we all know what that means though:evil:)

 

He said to be prepared to come to the hearing on Friday but I can call back after 4.00 today to see if the stay has been granted. Shall I bother wasting a phone call and ten minutes of my time?????

 

Do we already know the answer??????? :evil:

Just spoke to Nottingham County Court to get a progress update on my claim. Basically Abbey have acknowledged service and now have 14 days to file a defence. Here's the relevant bit - the lady I spoke to said that once the defence had been submitted by Abbey the claim would be stayed as Nottingham are beginning to stay all claims from now onwards.

:) Captial One - Won!

:) Egg Card - Won!

Hi Icy glad you took the list over I get to busy on the helpdesk here to update it regularily.

 

So we are looking at Jan 14th the case should be finished by January 23rd and then 28 days more for the ruling so February 20th 2008 is D-day on the claims ruling!

 

If they rule against us can we organise a appeal to the higher courts!?, dont know about you guys but I will have been doing my claim since February 2007 and it will be a year by then so wont want to give up!

 

Heres a fun game to play whilst you pass the time waiting for the OFT and Banks to pull there finger out why not add up your charge interest to February 20th 2008 and also start looking into cost e.g. wasted time, hours put in on the case Kerching!

 

Also you should all remember to still get those bundles in!

 

Cheers everyone Leecabs:)

Hi Madoldbat... I'm also mad now too! Can't believe they are allowed to do that 2 days before the court date. Bet Abbey didn't send you their bundle either did they... Would it be worth asking for judgement in your favour because of this.. I'm going to call them tmr and find out if mine has also as surely the judge can't do this without giving us a chance to reject their request?
