    • 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.

they would have been sent to a company who purported to have taken over my credit card debts (for a fee)

- this company ceased trading so the various card companies started to come back to me.

 

 

ah so you were in a fee paying DMP?

 

 

who?

Highbridge supposedly took on my debts in their entirety (I would never be bothered again etc etc),then folded -

well,I was bothered by every creditor!

 

surprise surprise - on a no win no fee basis, a party is going after Highbridge for me and a few hundred others

- I sued the party who introduced me to Highbridge in small claims track and was successful but that is small fry.

 

But Highbridge did treat matter as a DMP, acting on my behalf - not quite the same thing as taking on the debt IMHO -

 

But thanks for reply dx100uk

Supposedly a company called Fountain Templar succeeding in getting results

- not my words, and I haven't heard direct since I signed up! ( 15 months ago!) so, not holding breath

- personally, cannot understand why the Highbridge lot have not been brought to justice one way or another

- but thanx again dx100uk

- must also say that I have looked at 3 or 4 other sites like this, but this is by far the best - no BS!!

Thanks for that Andyorch - but I'm not seeing any specific amounts mentioned - I am left with 2 situations at mo,one around £10k and the other around £16k - obvs,I am assuming (but don't like to) these would have merited default notices - Yours,S

- 2 debts were assigned to Cabot last summer

- I wrote to say why I thought neither was enforceable and had replies saying they would look into matters

- over 6 months ago now, and no further contact.

 

 

Meanwhile,

I started reading this site and also realised no default notices or annual updates were ever sent to me,

 

 

I thought if Carboot came back saying in their view enforceable,

I would throw that back

- I don't know if they could themselves retrospectively send out default notices or whether they can only come from original creditor,

 

 

as my impression is OCs won't generally go to too much trouble to dig out old paperwork for DCAs.

 

All best,S

Okay Im with you now and understand why you looked at this.

 

What you have to bear in mind is when a debt is assigned to a DCA...Its a DCA thats all... a debt collector a chaser of money...they are not concerned with legislation and what they should be doing in order to comply with their credit licence....or to comply with the Credit Consumer Act 1974 even though they should adhere to it.

 

They cant issue default notices ..they cant add anything to the debt amount...all they can do is change the name of the OC on your Credit Reference Files to theirs and update the information accordingly until it reaches its sixth anniversary.

 

They cant correct any errors that the Original Creditor may of fallen foul of in administering your original agreement.

 

They hold no documentation with regards to the agreement..that remains with the Original Creditor...when they purchase your debts for say 10p in the £ which is all it costs them...they simply get a print out with your name address account number and debt amount...and possibly default details.....nothing else.

 

This is why they come unstuck when they try to capitalise on your debt by issuing a court claim and you defend it.....

 

Regards

 

Andy

Am just kicking off here at present hoping to see an URL number so I can send a copy of an application form for a credit card for the site's inspection/advice as to whether it is enforceable.

This was sent in response to a request for a copy of the original credit card agreement.

Will be back once I hear as to whether this is enforceable or not.

But many thanks in advance for any comments/advice/help.

A debt was assigned to a DCA

- it has taken a year to produce 2 sheets of an agreement which is mostly illegible,

 

they appear to think they are covered by saying the original would have been sent to my home at time of application (10 years ago).

 

In their view, this debt is enforceable and I am asked to get in touch to arrange repayments - if I do,they might be able to reduce the amount owing......

 

Would welcome any comment/advice -

Many thanks

When did you make your last payment or acknowledge in writing that you accepted the debt? Did you send the DCA a CCA request along with the £1 payment? What date did you send it?

If you did send a CCA request, two sheets in response regardless of their legibility is insufficient. That would put them in breach of the Act and there is no reason for you to make payments until the request has been correctly complied with.

 

To give you an idea on what you should receive and the situation when you don't receive the requested information the FCA have issued a booklet

the relevant part is -

https://www.handbook.fca.org.uk/handbook/CONC/13.pdf

13.1.4 onwards is perhaps of most interest.

Hi Renegade - thanx for speedy reply - can I send you that on PM - just a bit concerned if DCA trawl through these sites?

 

Thank you - I did wonder as on another one,I was sent about a dozen sheets of stuff - but that's great,for starters!

 

Thanx lookinforinfo - just been reading that link - but if I answer your questions here,I'm just a bit concerned the collection agency could also read the questions and answers - and I'm not an expert on computers and files etc - apologies,wrong generation!

Doesnt matter if they do trawl the sites. THey cant do anything. Post it up and redact all personal identifiers and reference numbers. Blank out the amounts if you want too, so they cant trace it if you think they can. CAGS policy is to put everything on forum, not PM.

 

we need background on it, as a compliant agreement, be it before or post 2007 needs to be in a specific format and have certain documents.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
