    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because therte was still £69 owing, so I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle.   However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account 106985089 has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, so I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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.

There are a lot of intricate details to this, so I am going to assume everybody is familiar with how the mobile banking app works independently and in relation with online banking on the website.

 

I'm in a desperate situation. I have literally ZERO access to my online banking.

 

My phone broke the other day so I'm borrowing one of my friends old ones, temporarily. I had an iPhone and this is an Android and thus I couldn't use iCloud to restore most of my information. Therein lies the issue. My old phone had all of my banking details on it. The only ones readily available to me are my account number, sort code and my cards. That being said, here's the situation:

 

I am a student and need to start paying rent for my accommodation for September by the end of the month and so I need to set up a standing order. The HSBC mobile banking app crashes on this phone and therefore I have no access to my security code generator. This narrows my method of access to my account to answering security questions, using a password that I do not have access to, and my memorable word, which ironically, I do not remember. My memorable word is one of two options and I can't tell which it is.

 

I tried accessing my accounts through memorable word + password and I couldn't remember my password. In the process. I am now locked out. The only method to access my accounts, therefore, is through customer service.

 

Kid you not, as if this couldn't get any more complicated - after entering my sort code and account number in the phone, they asked for my DOB and now miraculously it does not match what is on their system (this has never happened before in the 4 years I've been banking with HSBC and this detail has never been changed).

 

So:

I can't use the app because it crashes

My details are on iCloud and I do not currently have access to them, thereby meaning I cannot use Mobile Banking or Online Banking in Browser

I urgently need to make a payment or I am literally screwed

Everything that can go wrong has gone wrong, including alterations to my personal details which should never have happened

 

That being said, the last solution is to go to my local branch and present myself in person. To gain access to my details and unblock myself from my online banking etc. That being said, what is the process like? Do I need anything other than my ID? Is there ANYTHING else I can do? My car is in for repairs on Saturday, and I'm working every day except Saturday - so I may not even be able to reach a branch before I go to Uni and inevitably end up being homeless HELP!

just go thru to a human being on the banking phoneline

 

 

it used to be keep hitting the # key

and it simply bottoms out to a human

should be able to do it now they are 24/7

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Apart from assorted plastic and on-line/telephone banking, my Bank provided me with an old-fashioned cheque book for payments and a Standing Order can be set up on phone/in Branch if you know rel bank details.

What DID we do before the internet, ATMs & smartphones?
