    • 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.

hi guys

i dint think they are trying to change the payment as such , i feel if i send and income and expenditure and if it shows more affordability they will demand i pay more than whats been fixed by the court

 

haven't a clue were the 3 months review has come from tho i think thats from when i agreed to make higher payments back of last year and they stated they would monitor it for 3 months .

 

i haven't any extra magical income so they wont be able to grab any more

 

as you guys have said and i really appreciate the help

- im paying as in line with the court order ,and to be mega honest im not to sure why they have awarded a £50 refund ?

 

but i will try and get a letter done to send to the fos over the weekend

 

Thanks Alot

Regards

Mark

They wouldn't be asking for I & E information if they weren't thinking of trying to increase your payments ! they will assume you don't know that you only have to pay what the court ordered. I'm surprised they're still banging on about it after you sent them a letter saying you were only required to pay what was agreed in court.

 

 

Let them stew for a bit, if they threaten to take it back to court - let them get on with it - at some point their legal team would come to their senses.

Good afternoon - update

so i havent sent the income and expenditure and i have been paying the cmi + £200 and heard nothing (blessing)

 

however the BIG BOMBSHELL - i have just received a letter today stating the following

 

we are contacting you withing guidance issued by FCA

The guidance which was issued in april 2017 ,clarified that after june 2010 mortgage lenders should not have automatically included any payment arrears balances in calculation of the regular monthly payment ,whilsy at the same time asking customers to repay the payment balance separately .

 

The fca expects this practice to STOP & where this resulted in customers being over charged or otherwise unfairly treated ,action taken to correct the account and if appropriate compensation paid !.

 

kennys reply with the following :

 

following a review of my account we can confirm that your account has been impacted and that your contractual payments was previously calculated including the payment arrears balance.

 

we acknowledge this was not in accordance with the fca guidance and as a result the amount we requested you to pay each month was incorrect and you may have been incorrectly charged fees and expenses.

 

please accept our sincere apologies for this and our assurance that changes have been made to our systems,procedures and controls to prevent happening again .

please see below what steps we have taken to put this right and how this has affected your account

 

1. we have corrected your payment arrears balance and account balances to what these would have looked like had your contractual monthly payment been calculated without including your payment arrears balance .

 

2. refunded any payment arrears fees and charges that we have charged you were these would not have been due based on the correct payment arrears balance .this correction includes a recalculation of the interest charged to you .

 

3.Where applicable , compensate you where you have overpaid each month as a result of your CMI Being higher than it would have been had we not included your payment arrears in the calculation of your monthly payment.

Compensation has been calculated at a rate of 8% per annum less 20% for basic rate income tax ..

 

 

Your account correction is as follows

 

Adjustment to payment arrears balance -£8443.01 taken off the arrears was £28k now £20k

 

compensation at 8% simple interest per annum £0

 

less 20% income tax on the 8 % £0

 

refunded charges including historical interest £0

 

so here my issue >

£0 compensation

 

when the 6 years came up to renew the suspended possession order kennys won it on 1 thing the size of the arrears - of which i stated in court wasn't correct so they liedk

 

i also have a letter when i complained to obundsman stating the arrears balnce wasnt included in the cmi payments - again they lied

 

i question why my cmi payments kept rising each and every other month - they explained due to the libor rate - again a lie

 

The total balance on my account last month is exactly the same this month ?

the initial mortgage was for £97k

i hade arrears of £28k and the im on interest only and the outstanding balance was £133k

 

after they have just knocked off £8k the balance outstanding is still £133k ?

 

They also stated above the cmi payments were high because of this error and now have been corrected ????k

 

3 months ago the cmi was £540 last month £545 and now this letter STATES

 

Going forward the repayment of any missed monthly payments,future fees,charges and unpaid insurance costs will no longer be automatically included in your monthly Payment so we have changed your monthly payment to reflect all the above and account changes !!!!!!

 

Your new monthly CMI Payment will be £589.84 from 1st of july !!!!!! going up again another £40

 

Please can somebody help drafting a letter to send to get compensation ?

 

as i have sufferd,anxeity,depression,,relationships and work issues all because of their demanding higher payments and harassment since 2007

 

also how can the cmi payment be even higher again now they have removed all the above arghhhhh

 

Thanks for reading

regards

markez

I think you should write to them advising that you find their letter confusing and ask for a detailed calculation showing how they have arrived at the new figure, with an explanation at each stage of payment change. If you don't get a satisfactoty response then go straight to the Ombudsman to see if they can work it out.

But you're doing what Uncle dx said about keeping off the phone, aren't you? :) From what you say, they don't want to put things in writing so they can't be proved wrong later on.

 

 

I think there's a wording you can send them to say you only want to deal in writing, hopefully someone will be along to advise on that.

they have shot themselves in the foot big time here

and you should sue them for unwarranted harassment.

 

you have the written documentation to prove they continually forced you to pay more and harassed you on almost a daily basis.

they knew they were wrong to do it

you knew they were wrong to do it.

 

this could be worth £1000's statint that they have deprived you off too of all the extra money and

 

they ARE entitled to compensate you for the 8% statint that they have deprived you off too for all the extra money they've charged
