    • OK, thanks, I won't wait for them. On a side note, some of the posts on here are a bit frustrating, I read through five pages or so of someone going through the court process rooting for them as I'm reading, then nothing, not heard of again. Left here wondering what the outcome was, lol!
    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because there was still £69 owing, I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle. However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account ......... has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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.

Just thought I'd take the time to update the thread.

 

In regards to the unlawful charges by Shop Direct,

I wrote to the ICO who advised that the FOS had to adjudge the charges as unlawful before they would consider my complaint or that I could issue proceedings under the DPA should that not be successful.

I am currently waiting for a reply from the FOS though before taking any legal action.

 

I have started managing by DMP myself now and have made offers to the remaining creditors, some of which have been successful.

 

In regards to the NCO & Robson Way accounts

I have done CCA requests of which the 12 + 2 days is up today.

 

I have received acknowledgment letters from them

however I have not received any of the documents requested.

 

Is there anything else I should be doing now the time limit is up or should I just let it run its course.

 

I believe on of the accounts is dated post April 2007 and one is dated pre April 2007.

I wouldn't be blindly paying anyone without an enforceable CCA return.

those that have failed to comply

one option is to cease payment.

 

 

DONT enter into any pointless letter tennis either

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

Good morning - I am posting further to the response I have received back from the FOS, who have confirmed that they are not willing to uphold my complaint regarding Shop Direct’s (SD) unlawful charges.

 

I think I am going to have to issue court proceedings in order to have the closure date on the account updated on my credit file. In my conversations with the ICO they confirmed I would be able to bring about an action under the DPA, however I am not sure how I would go about this as SD have refunded the monies I don't think I can issue proceedings in the usual manner as I am not claiming for any outstanding monies, I do however intend to claim for any costs I occur in the issuing of court proceedings.

 

Please could someone point me in the right direction in order that I can being about an action?

 

 

Many thanks

Brillaint thanks that is just what I was looking for. I have already issued an LBA on this matter however do you think I should go through the initial letter/LBA process again as I believe my original letters were silent in relation to the DPA?

I ended up starting the whole process again with Shop Direct this time just refering to the DPA, the 14 day letter is up tomorrow so I will issue the LBA then,

 

I am fully expecting that I will need to issue Court Proceedings so I note from VCS v Philip that nominal damages of £250 were awarded so is that the figure I should claim for, should I have to issue proceedings or is that just something that the Court would consider if it gets to a hearing?

I am planning on sending the LBA to SD today, as SD have already refunded the charges as a GOGW please could someone advise if I am still able to claim for the charges or should I just refer to the DPA in order to that the closure date on the account is updated?

I have finally heard back from SD with a letter dated 3 March 2017 to my latest address

(curious considering I didn't advise them of a change of address until my letter of 14 March 2017!).

 

It appears that it is an attempt to delay matters,

they are asking for identification from me in order that they can correspond with my at my new address.

 

 

As mentioned above I sent them a signed letter on 14 March confirming that I have changed my address so I do not beleive any further evidence is required. Just wondering what my next steps should be?

I have not heard anything back from Shop Direct even after allowing an additional weeks grace period.

 

 

I need to go ahead and issue proceedings,

 

 

is there any guidance anywhere on how this should be done?

Hi all

- I have had a claim issued now

 

however I forgot to put the account number in the Particulars of Claim

SD have raised issue with that.

 

I have spoken to the Court and they have advised it will be £100 to apply to have the POC amended.

 

Just wondering if there is any need to do so though as it is clear from all the evidence I have which account number this case is relating too,

if I supply all that it will satisfy the Court.

 

The Court has also suggested mediation

is it worthwhile doing that or should I just go stright to a hearing?

AFAIK, you should always accept mediation, but hold fire for others to confirm/deny first.

 

DON'T give them ANY wriggle room, if they have already questioned the claim due to missing info the correct it. It may well be £100 well worth spent, and don't forget it is added to your claim anyway.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

OK thanks the Court papers say mediation is volunatary - I'll go through that first though to demonstrate that I am co-operative I think. I will go ahead and get the claim amended too - thanks for your help.

you can add the account number to your witness statement unless they are claiming that they cannot identify you by their vigorous credit checking and vetting procedures

so cant possibly have charged you anything in the first place.

OK great thanks,

 

 

in the Defence they have filed

they have acknowledged that I have held three accounts with them in the past so there is no issue here in regards to identification.

 

 

I'll make sure the account number is in the Witness Statement,

I'll also put it in my letter when I serve a copy of the Directions Questionaire on them.
