Good morning I had a visit from a Thames Water Engineer who confirmed that a water meter installation was not possible so I am being "moved" to an AHC tariff. I received a communication from Thames Water to inform that my yearly charge is being reduced by almost £400 & a revised bill will be sent in the coming weeks. Out…

Recently submitted confirmation application and it has come back with 1 post-it note on the first page saying “name of deceased differs to that of the will to c1”. the will has both the deceased maiden name and married name. The way it is written is first name and then “maiden name” or “married name”. I have filled out the…

Morning all.

Our current tariff ends on 24th March 2027 but we have just reached the point where we can do an internal tariff switch with Outfox Energy without incurring exit fees. Our current rates are: Electric: SC 51.05p Unit Rate: 20.61p Gas: SC 54.94p Unit Rate: 5.98p Our conundrum now is do we ride out the winter on our current…

Dear Team of Experts, hope you can help me with this second claim put against me by G24 Ltd. I’ve already posted a thread on this forum regarding a CCJ issued by the same parking company to my old address and hopefully I’ll get this sorted at my local court at the end of this month. Premise, at the time of the alleged…

I made an FOIA request to the DVLA asking for any DPIAs associated with their KADOE contract with three parking management companies. Their response was to send a redacted DPIA from when they migrated their service to the new KADOE API (Application Programming Interface) in 2022/3. It is an interesting read (100 plus…

First, apologies for asking something that I appreciate has probably been answered elsewhere. I've read the Newbie thread but found it a bit overwhelming and the bother of this is making it hard for me to consider the matter clearly. I realise that's my problem, and not the problem of the kind person who took the time to…

Can anyone work the maths between usage & credits?

Hi, I appear to have missed the AOS deadline which was yesterday at 4pm, i hurriedly filed it, would this mean i will get a deafult ccj? Should i file the defence as as soon as possible? When i was acknowledging it said the website said it might accept the extension if the claimant hasn't filed for a defualt issue, does…

Hi all, Just wanted to start a thread to record this journey. I had parked in a car park for 4 hours - my first 2 hour payment did not go through which i did not realise at that point. When I went to extend it, that is when I realised and so I paid for those two hours, plus an extra 2 hours which covered the four hour…

Hi, how can I delete notifications from newspaper websites etc. (for example an article on Bezos from Fortune) on my Android? I only want notifications for emails, whatsapp and some websites. Thanks.

Hiya, I received a claim for parking in a leisure centre car park from Parking Eye. I do have a strong case as I did pay (proof shown on my wallet on my iphone). But upon getting the PCN I checked my actual bank statement and saw it did not go through. Possibly a fault with the system but anyway I think I have reasonable…

Hello, My parents noticed a flat tyre at Moto Reading West services. They eventually managed to get a someone to come out and replace the tyre, but as a result overstayed the free time limit. Thave received a parking charge letter from Group Nexus. I have attached the letter here. Would appreciate your thoughts on…

Scenario: Parent A and Parent B now deceased. The house deeds show them as 'Tenants in Common' with a life interest trust if I've understood the terminology correctly. Somewhat simplified by having a single beneficiary (child) who is also the executor and trustee. When Parent A died (Feb 2026), as far as I can see no…

I bought a £59 dash cam online yesterday without doing my due diligence. I have since learned that it is a probable 90% scam, my bad and unusual for me to do that.. I paid from Apple Pay from my First Direct bank account. I called the bank as I could see the payment was pending and asked if they could cancel the payment.…

The surveys and sales process were excellent—then the actual work began. Delivery brought colourful language, an obstructed road and materials dropped hard enough to be concerned my cottage may become Open Plan without intent. Installation involved 1 very poorly fitter (bless him he did his utmost) and then a 2nd, enough…

Not sure if this is the goth forum to drop this in, but I was reading on MSE earlier about the research company Pinecone. Anyway, I've just managed to sign up using the link at the following address: http://www.surveypolice.com/pinecone-research Apparently, their membership is a bit hard to find, and you can't apply…

hi interested in any advice on how you might deal with this. Have received a claim from HM courts and tribunals by way of civil enforcement Ltd. So as far it goes, an overstay was alleged and a debt was implied of £60. The stay was noted by them as 20mins over an allotted time of one hour spent in a supermarket. The debt…

EDIT: After sending through my appeal, this was cancelled. For anyone interested, this was the full appeal text I sent: I dispute your 'parking charge', as the keeper of the vehicle. I deny any liability or contractual agreement exists. ​ ​The alleged contravention was 13th July 2026. Your Notice to Keeper, dated 24th July…

I had a PCN in April which I appealed and lost. I still haven't paid and am now getting letters/emails from debt collectors. I'm planning on ignoring these as I'm quite happy to go to court and argue my case. You often read/hear 'just ignore it all and it'll go away' but does anybody have any experience of this stage or…
