    • 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.

Last week I was shopping with my baby in primark and I shoplift 6 blouses.

I feel terrible, ashamed, sad.

It was something terrible to do.

 

The guy took me to a room.

The manager came and she was rude at the beginning but she calm down.

She ask me for an ID and obviously the only one is from COLOMBIA with my name an address so she noticed I was a tourist.

 

She asked me for my fly details and hotel name

(I didn't have any details of this, can't remember the name of my hotel)

she never called the Police.

 

I ask her if they are going to look for me in COLOMBIA and she said no...

they never asked for my DOB, name,

I didn't signed anything and they didnt give me anything.

They just photocopied my colombian ID

 

Im still shaking for this

I been praying and looking for erase the pain in my heart.

Im still on holidays here.

 

That Day she told me she dont want me in her shop anymore or she will call the Police.

Im not going to that shop never again.

That day I asked her if I still can go to the other shops and she said yes but they will checking me.

 

Im going next week with my husband to the shopping centre.

Hi and welcome to CAG.

We here believe that shoplifting is wrong but the actions of a company called RLP are worse. As it is, the security staff, who are civilians, not police, have seen that they would be wasting time chasing you for a fee that RLP charge. so to answer your questions:

 

1 NO!

2 NO!

3 Very unlikely but never say never.

4 No!

 

On point 3, I very much doubt anything will happen to you in your home country. On point 4 you will never be arrested on return to the UK as this is a civil matter, not a criminal one. There is a huge difference.

Stay away from that store but otherwise, go anywhere you want. Don't feel that everyone is staring at you. Nobody knows except you and Primark.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

Thank you.

 

My mother lives in a very dangerous place in Colombia... I don't think they want to go there :(

 

My actions were terrible Im fully ashamed

 

Next winter that one will be my local shop... I guess I can't there anymore. Are they going to remember this incident forever?

 

I went yesterday to buy a vest to my baby in another primark same county and I was so scared to find my picture all over the shop but nothing happened. :)

 

Thank you for your help

In the UK we have very strict data laws and you will never see your image posted anywhere in the stores. By next winter they will have completely forgotten about you so you can go back. Just don't do it again as they do keep your details on file and the next time, they may call the police.

 

Try not to stress over this. Treat this as a lesson not to be silly again.

Today I went to the shopping centre with my husband before going back to my house. As I said Im from Colombia but I live in USA.

 

However... nothing strange in the shopping centre. My parter saw an star wars baby vest on primark's window and asked me to go and buy it.

 

I entered to the shop and I saw in front of me the security guy that took me to the room 10 days ago... I smiled and ta dah!!! Nothing happened.

 

Im so grateful for this second oportunity. My husband refused the job in London but has a new one in Newcastle.

 

Im never never never going to do something like this.

 

Thank you

How old is your baby?

 

Could you be suffering from the baby blues? Could you talk to a doctor at all, and tell them what happened, that is it out of character and you might need some help??

 

All the best to you and your new family! :thumb:

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!

Sort of just what I was saying. They forget all about you. I didn't expect it to be so soon but it also shows exactly how much attention they also take. Not all security staff are wannabe coppers but it does show that some would never make it in the police due to lack of attention.
