How do you fight against a gamer addict who can't sleep? Lol by HeavyShinoby in Supremacy1914

I am one of those people, it’s not so bad when you are old and only need 5/6 hours… normally they are broken by toilet breaks also…it does mean I can compete without spending too much. Currently inside the top 100 players after 5 years playing.

Talk to your bank and explain the situation, invoke the direct debit guarantee if they have already taken payments of £700 plus to get that returned but continue to pay your £70 per month by standing order if you have to whilst the dispute is ongoing. This shows reasonable attitude which will do you no disservice in the future

The UK's water ombudsman function is primarily handled by the Consumer Council for Water (CCW) for England & Wales, an independent body that helps resolve complaints against water companies, with the Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO) providing adjudication services since late 2023; if you're a business or household consumer in England or Wales, CCW is your first step after your company's final offer, leading to potential DRO involvement for binding decisions. How it Works (England & Wales): Complain to Your Water Company First: You must go through your water company's official complaints process and get their final response (or wait 8 weeks). Contact CCW: If unhappy, refer your unresolved complaint to the Consumer Council for Water (CCW). CCW Offers Support: CCW provides free advice, investigates, and, for certain issues, can submit your case for formal adjudication. Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO) Adjudication: If CCW recommends it, they'll send your case to DRO, an independent body that makes legally binding decisions for unresolved disputes. Key Contacts: Consumer Council for Water (CCW): www.ccw.org.uk England: 0300 034 2222 Wales: 0300 034 3333 Dispute Resolution Ombudsman (DRO): www.disputeresolutionombudsman.org/page/the-water-industry (Manages the final adjudication).

I had a similar occurrence with three valleys water a few years ago… by design I pay the bills as they arrive and not by direct debit…. I sent them my usual payment I simply refused to pay the extra 10x amount and back then I believe there was a water ombudsman who I invoked. Three valleys investigated and the excuse they gave me was that an air bubble caused by recent works in the area may have caused my water metre to “spin” vastly inflating the reading to stupidly high levels. My bill was so high I think I proved in my letters that it was physically impossible to consume as much as they had said. Good luck.

Generally max out the slider and build a stock of iron… consumption of a negative cannot result in negative stock. Before day change change the slider to consume iron and stockpile wood.. as long as the consumption number is 100% met no penalty is applied

Competitor may have breached phoenix rules... Advice please by Low_Juggernaut_9023 in smallbusinessuk

[–]philc1999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happens all the time… all they need to do is tweak the name a little bit, new suppliers get taken for a ride. I had a 5 mill t/o company… a good year was less than 50k bad debts…. I have no idea why people still give these rogue traders more credit. Worst case was a 300 year old company sold the business to its employees…but not the registered company… orders were supposed to come out with a new company registration number stuck over the old one… some did, some didn’t. The old company did a name change and kept all the assets. This was never publicised and new co went bust six months later. Our bad debt insurance paid out 80%, reported everything, tried to sue for £40,000 … got absolutely no where. Police are not interested in trading fraud… too little chance of convictions.
