    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • Thank you for your reply, DX! I was not under the impression that paying it off would remove it from my file. My file is already trashed so it would make very little difference to any credit score. I am not certain if I can claim compensation for a damaged credit score though. Or for them reporting incorrect information for over 10 years? The original debt has been reported since 2013 as an EE debt even though they had sold it in 2014. It appears to be a breach of the Data Protection Act 1998 Section 13 and this all should have come to a head when I paid the £69 in September 2022, or so I thought. The £69 was in addition to the original outstanding balance and not sent to a DCA. Even if I had paid the full balance demanded by the DCA back in 2014 then the £69 would still have been outstanding with EE. If it turns out I have no claim then so be it. Sometimes there's not always a claim if there's blame. The CRA's will not give any reason for not removing it. They simply say it is not their information and refer me to EE. More to the point EE had my updated details since 2022 yet failed to contact me. I have been present on the electoral roll since 2012 so was traceable and I think EE have been negligent in reporting an account as in payment arrangement when in fact it had been sold to a DCA. In my mind what should have happened was the account should have been defaulted before it was closed and sold to the DCA who would then have made a new entry on my credit file with the correct details. However, a further £69 of charges were applied AFTER it was sent to the DCA and it was left open on EE systems. The account was then being reported twice. Once with EE as open with a payment arrangement for the £69 balance which has continued since 2013 and once with the DCA who reported it as defaulted in 2014 and it subsequently dropped off and was written off by the DCA, LOWELL in 2021. I am quite happy for EE to place a closed account on my credit file, marked as satisfied. However, it is clear to me that them reporting an open account with payment arrangement when the balance is £0 and the original debt has been written off is incorrect? Am I wrong?
    • OMG! I Know! .... someone here with a chance to sue Highview for breach of GDPR with a very good chance of winning, I was excited reading it especially after all the work put in by site members and thinking he could hammer them for £££'s and then, the OP disappeared half way through. Although you never know the reason so all I can say is I hope the OP is alive and well regardless. I'd relish the chance to do them for that if they breached my GDPR.

    • 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.

Hello all,

Has anyone any knowledge of the dealings of the above names.

An E-Mail landed in my inbox today, headed dear client, accompanied by a rather nasty threatogramme styled content. Threatening that if no contact made with them by tomorrow, the account will be escalated and extra charges will be applied.??

 

I have had no dealings with them at all and they have not supplied any details of account nos or names of anyone that I am supposed to owe this alleged debt to.

 

All suggestions will be greatly received.

have you checked the email address the mail came from? Might give some clues. To me it sounds like a s cam email (it wouldn't let me type the word.....why is that?)

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and all is well!

Hi

 

I received the same type of communication today I have an outstanding account with Uncle Buck which I was advised has been passed to Carter Forbes. I also received a text from Uncle Buck today advising me to contact Carter Forbes as my file has been prepared for legal action. I had previously contacted Carter Forbes last month a few times by email and post but have received no reply to communication only emails to call them. I sent goodwill gesture payment in April no response then today I received the email described above from the same person who originally contacted me from Carter Forbes (wasn't from Daz Arbon but same communication). I keep receiving texts to contact by phone from them but have continued with written communication.

Carter Forbes YES! I have heard of them, a nasty piece of work by all accounts.

 

As for Daz Arbon probably a figment of their imagination.

 

We will contact the client and inform them that we are representing you as a collection specialist and looking to secure the payments as a matter of urgency. We utilise all manners of communication to ensure that we explain the current situation to the client and the potential repercussions of non-compliance. Our management team are well trained in establishing and maintaining relationships with your clients as well as feeding back the information to you in a mutually agreed time frame and format. We will collect your debt quickly and effectively.

 

Well if you don't know what it is they are after then I would leave well alone, are you aware of any outstanding debts?

 

As for adding extra charges, go right ahead, you won't have to pay them!

Also had communications with Carter Forbes, requested CCA, they didnt respond so put the account into dispute. Had to laugh at their website and the bully boy " we only give you two chances". So far I have had at least 6 emails the most recent being last week,. I have been offerred discounts ranging from 25% to 60%. Lost the CCA chaps? Re; Your Uncle Buck account, would love to a judge to see that rate of 2100%, be good to get the press inolved too, 2100% is nothing more than a loan shark. Shame on CF for getting involved, really bottom of the barrel stuff.

Just done a little more reading of their website, and it is very obvious that even these lot breach the OFT DCG, as they openly admit, to answering the phones answering "In your name" and then if a client is not paying their bill we can transfer the debt to our own debt recovery section so it looks like the debt had been escalated!

 

So that will be "unfair business practices" for a start!

I note that, as is the case with many members of the CSA, that Carter Forbes rather amateurish website does not comply with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

 

The CSA code of conduct requires all its members to act within the law; whilst the CSA is just the shabby debt industry bum-licking club, CPUTR makes it an offence for a business to not comply with a code of conduct it says it is enrolled in.

 

The style reminds me somewhat of Greenhalgh's the aggressive solicitor/DCA who were made to wind their necks in by the SRA/OFT.

That bloke is horrendous. The average (non CAG) person getting an email from them and finding that site via Google would feel as if they were being doorstepped and threatened inside their own home.

Wouldn't buy a used car from him that's for sure. Probably worked his way down from extorting other kids dinner money at school, to car clamping to his current exalted position.

Thank you all for your swift input.

 

The problem that is the most annoying to me, is the fact that they call me "client", I have had no dealings with them whatsoever and no company has informed me of them acting/ threatening on their behalf and most of all, the E-Mail from them has absolutely no particulars of claim as to any alleged debt or a name as to whom they are purporting to represent/intimidate on the behalf of. It is merely an E- threatogramme with directions to phone them.

 

Why do these people not write hard copy and conduct business in a proper manner??.

Losingmymind,

 

I have not responded to them as yet, as I do not know who, or what they claim to represent.

Pay day loans are for 1 months duration plus 1 contractural interest only.

all the add ons are wishful thinking from them and are grossly OTT.

even if you was in debt with a company and carter forbes bought your debt its not legal as you have never signed a contract with them, also if YOU only sign a contract and no one on their side does its still not a legal binding contract.
