    • 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.

I`ll be brief because I suspect this subject has been discussed elsewhere,

however I have trawled through pages of threads without success.

 

I have received my SAR from Welcome Finance for the five loans and HP I had with them from 1999 through to 2002.

 

Aviva have paid up £1700 PPI redress for one of the post 2000 loans

but are refusing to pay for the other post 2000 HP Loan as they say the PPI was clearly evident on the form.

 

What they have done in error is state that I was in full time employment.

 

I was working full time, but I was self-employed as a trade plate driver for United Fleet Distribution.

That was why I went to Welcome in the first place because they were the only loan company who would lend to me

because of my employment status.

 

they gerrymandered the forms saying that I was working full time, without saying I was self-employed.

 

I am going to challenge Aviva on this second PPI refusal.

 

However, my question refers to the other 3 loans which were taken out prior to 2000.

 

Aviva say they were not the underwriters at that time.

 

Other threads on here suggest that the FSCS are only taking responsibility for post 2005 Welcome loans.

So who do I claim against for the 3 pre-2000 loans?

 

I know from the SAR documents that PPI was charged and the amounts involved.

However, I do not know who was the underwriter.

 

Furthermore, I actually signed the documents at the Welcome Finance offices in Stockport and not at any brokers or loan brokers offices.

 

I am hoping someone on here might save me the time and trouble and point me in the right direction.

 

If it cannot be done, well I will have to lump it,

but I now have the proof that PPI was charged on all 3 of the pre-2000 loans.

Hi,

I didn't claim for the Welcome pre-2000 loans because it was not stated who was the underwriter. I might have another look at it though, thanks.

Regarding the Aviva one, it was a HP loan with the PPI front loaded and interest charged monthly. This has been in the hands of the Ombudsman since January 2015. However they have recently sent me a decision which was not to uphold my complaint. When I read the adjudicator`s reasons, it was clear he had not read any of my submissions properly, so I rang them to complain. In the meantime I revisited my correspondence with Aviva, and having scrutinised it thoroughly, I found a written admission that Welcome had told them that they had never discussed PPI with me at any time when signing for loans, including this HP loan.

With that and some other damning facts, the lady sent me an appeal form.

Within 2 days I had a call to say that a senior adjudicator had reversed the decision and upheld my complaint. The letter to Aviva, a copy of which was sent to me, made damning reading, to the point that the lady in question suggested that any appeal would be futile and gave them 10 days to make me an offer.

I am still waiting for a letter from Aviva, but the bank holiday has intervened. I will post their reply as soon as it arrives.

If you have an address for the Lloyds Insurers who dealt with Welcome I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Regards

 

Chris

Hi, I have just seen your message; I do have an address amidst paperwork and will dig it out tomorrow for you; I too have asked for my claim to be revisited as it was declined by an adjudicator who I believe has not addressed all the issues surrounding my claim, now another waiting game; good luck with yours, Ameeta

Hi, the email address is [email protected]

Nicola Hills case complaints officer - 0207 327 5693

 

The society of Lloyds wrote to me staying Aviva were the underwriters and I did give this info to the Ombudsmans to no avail, they said it was out of time and I still cannot understand why because I was forced to take the ppi and when I neede it the most during illness just after childbirth they refused to pay out; the Ombudsman is currently relooking at the complaint that was declined by them last year, good luck and I hope this helps

Hi All,

 

After a bit of research it seems that the loan in question (taken out in March 2000) was underwritten by 3 different underwriters. Lloyds syndicate 582 (AA Cassidy & others) 40%. SCOR UK limited 35% and Zurich Insurance 25%.

 

I have emailed the complaints department of all parties with my name, dob and welcome financial ac number. I have requested repayment of premiums plus 8% interest since the PPI was mis sold. I have asked that the complaint be forwarded to the relevant department for a response.

 

My question now is this. If, as I expect, they simply say no or ' too long ago' or Welcome was not 'regulated' at the time. - this is the reason the FOS won't take it on, can I simply issue a money claim in the small claims court against all three companies, using the details on companies house for the name of their managing director/registered address. ?

 

This may be very simplistic but in my mind, regardless of regulation, time, etc, these people still took a lot of money from me under false pretences . I was told that it was an obligatory part of the loan, that I couldn't have the loan without the repayments being 'protected'

.

I was not aware that it was completely unsuitable for me as I have been a civil servant since 1996 have full sick pay for 6 months and 6 months half pay. On top of that, my pre existing health condition (since age 24 (was 32 at time of loan) would have precluded any claim.

Excellent work. I hope you get the answer you want. In the meantime, I will have to speak to the adjudicator in my case this week, so I will ask her about this. Any useful information I will post on here.

Hi,

 

I had a few loans that were not regulated ect from 2004 which the FOS would not take on, despite being told many times by the companies involved that they would defend any court claims I made and they were adamant they would not pay back any PPI or interest stating they would get the claims thrown out of court as they were statute barred and not regulated ect ect.

 

I issued three court claims and each time I was paid in full before the court calling dates.

 

This was in Scotland so I'm not so sure how you would go about it in England but would thinks it's well worth a shot.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

Hi, my loan was taken out in May 2000 and the underwriters were the same as yours however when I contacted each underwriter they said that Aviva were responsible, The society if Lloyds wrote to me stating this; I gave the Ombudsman this info and they still did not uphold my complaint saying it was out of time; I have asked for the complaint to be looked at again but don't hold much hope

Hello and Welcome Kenny,

 

The companies I took to court were not connected to Lloyds or Welcome Finance but they were based in England and it was possible to persue them from Scotland.

Two of the claims were Small Claims actions and the other was an Ordinary Cause action.

 

As dx100 as suggested it would be better if you started a new thread on your case.

 

Regards,

 

Scott.
