    • 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?

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.

Morning.

I have what may be a simple issue but it is confusing the hell out of me.

 

Previously, I had two HD Tv's (lounge/bedroom) connected by a one input, two output HDMI splitter (powered) and this worked fine.

 

Recently I have managed to save enough to purchase a 4K TV (manufacturer refurbished)for my lounge and this is where my problems started. Whenever I put HD content on my 4K TV, the signal will not go to my other TV.

I assumed it was something to do with the splitter so I bought a 4K splitter but things are the same.

I have standard HDMI cables and one is 7.5m long and I never had a problem before. The splitter I bought said it would be OK for lengths of up to 10m so what do I do?

 

Buy new HDMI cable with 4K capability or something else?

So what happens when the 4k TV cable is not attached ? Does the other TV then work normally ?

 

If so, is this because the 4k TV would be taking up full capacity from the source of the signal ? Because the 4k TV is so demanding on the output of your Skybox or other signal source, it is not offering anything to the other TV. If it works fine on non HD output, then it must be the way this 4k TV is draining. It is a bit like having lots of devices connected to a battery. If you have one device linked first that is more demanding on the power, other devices willstruggle to work.

We could do with some help from you.

I'm wondering if the newer TV invokes HDCP (a form of copy prevention), and this then stops the second device receiving an unencoded signal?

It may not be the leads or splitter at fault.

 

I'm not saying this is the problem (I don't know enough about HDCP to be sure it is or it isn't) but it might be worth looking into before buying any more leads / splitters!

Is your source just a normal freeview signal SS ?

Thanks for the responses so far.

 

For info. My Sky+ box is connected to the splitter and prior to buying the new TV, all content (SD + HD) was on both screens at the same time with no issues. I can control the Sky box from my bedroom via a VP eye device.

 

Since the changeover, the bedroom TV will not show any HD content at all, whether the lounge TV is on or off. It may be that the TV that now resides in my bedroom is too big for the cable to cope with HD signals. Embarassing moment here. It's a man thing!

The TV in my bedroom is a 47", the one in my lounge is a 55" and the original TV (that is now up for sale) in my bedroom was a 42". Do you think I am overcompensating for something :madgrin:

 

It may be just a case that the HDMI cable needs to be replaced with a better one.

unplug the 4k TV HDMI cable

bet it works on the other TV now..

 

 

the 4k tv will be telling the sky+ box to switch to a higher resolution even when in std by mode

 

 

you cant tell the sky+ box to output both low and hi resolution...

 

 

yo need to turn off auto hdmi

 

 

press the sky remote services button

goto settings

 

 

adjust the settings of hd res/hdmi control

Nope! I did that and still no picture on the bedroom TV

Tried that and it cut off all signal to the second TV. It only works when I have the setting on automatic but it is only SD, not HD

 

press the sky remote services button

goto settings

 

 

adjust the settings of hd res/hdmi control

 

Thanks for the advice DX. Just a shame nothing worked.

I tried various settings to no avail. Is it worth just buying a new HDMI cable that specifically says '4K' or 'UHD' I have seen various prices on the web and I'm not going to go into the huge price range. (Can't afford it now)

HDMI cable is an HDMI cable!!

 

 

same con as your need a digital aerial to get freeview..no such thing!!

 

 

you may get issues with multiple TVs and sky+ boxes ‘not talking to each other’, which can necessitate pulling cables in and out and rebooting several times to get things going properly

 

 

go one step at a time

get the TV that wont work going properly on its own

then connect the additional TV

 

 

you might also find that you need to disable HDMI ARC if that 2nd tv then re introduces the problem

I would have thought that if your sky box is set to output 4k signal then its nothing to do with which hdmi cables you have, more that the bedroom tv cannot display a 4k signal if its only HD.

This being the case, the only 2 options you have would be to put a 4k tv in the bedroom (expensive option) or to have sky multiroom and have a second box in the bedroom. Costs about a tenner a month i think.

HDMI cable is an HDMI cable!!

 

 

 

It would seem that there is a difference. My old HDMI cable must have been dead cheap as I bought one of these:

 

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N1G46CK/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

I didn't pay the price shown ( benefits of being a member of VIPON). I actually paid £8.99.

 

As soon as I plugged it in, everything works as it should. One happy HD watching bunny :-)

Ahem! Just how old do you think I am :lol:

 

I did used to fit meters to TVs in my youth working with a company called Telebank (part of Granada)

 

I can't remember how much I paid for the original HDMI cable but I am sure it was cheap (just like me) so that would explain why I got nothing when in HD mode. All I have to do now is route the new cable around the wall and through into the bedroom which means moving most of my furniture out of the way as the cable will be fitted in the existing trunking :|
