    • 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 Just received my credit file and after getting into a bad financial situation

 

I have a total of 19 defaults on my credit file!,

 

11 are due to drop of this year and

3 next year

the rest are around 2022,

 

for the latter do you think my credit file will improve If I pay them of so they are marked as satisfied?

or should I just wait, none of them are chasing me for payment at the minute

 

Just edited to add one is for a mobile phone debt that I was paying for 2 years at £35 per month, it says I owe £550.00 now

All your credit score means is that you are reliable in borrowing money and paying it back over a long period of time....plus substantial interest. If you are not wanting a mortgage, then there is really no need to borrow money... at all.

 

Over the years, I have learned that my credit score has never risen much beyond poor.

I have borrowed money from credit unions which I have paid back without fail.

I finally managed to open a basic bank account with the Nationwide which provides me with a Visa debit card.

 

If I were you, I would stop worrying about your credit score because you could end up over-extending yourself in borrowings.

 

As for United Utilities:

I am in a similar situation with Anglia Water where they have placed two defaults on my credit file for alleged water debts.

They refuse to tell me where they got my details from, so that is a clear breach of the Data Protection Act.

They have failed to provide me with a contract or even a ' deemed ' contract.

 

What you have to remember is that no third party can bind another in a contract.

With the help of the Information Commissioners Office, I am challenging these entries.

I'll keep you informed if you like.

 

The defaults on your credit file I would go about getting removed, are those that don't drop off until 2022.

Anything over 1 year is usually ignored depending on the type of debt, and certainly those over 3 years old are disregarded.

yes I would be really interested how you get on,

mine is a bit of a unique situation,

 

I have been in the house since 2010 living with my partner (he moved in 2011)

house solely in my name (housing association).

 

To be frank I never received a water bill so I just never bothered pursuing it.

 

my relationship turned violent and I moved out of the residence for 6 months until I got him removed

during this time letters were arriving from UU addressed to me and he was returning them 'not at this address' the default was entered during this time,

 

I still have not got my water rates sorted out and I really want to phone them in case they got for A ccj

at the moment I cant afford to pay them

 

I am over £3k in rent arrears and under a suspended possession order so I am working my butt of to pay them back, but I am annoyed over this default

Just wondering as I have a number of debts defaulted 2012/13, even though these debts are sold on to he likes of Lowells who wait years before court action, so in effect you can have a default for 6 years and if they go for a CCJ near the end of default then that one particular debt can stay on file for 12 years

 

Surely there should be in place a law that makes it harder for them to sit on debts so long

Hi Just need some advice really,

 

I had numerous PDL all defaulted, I dont want to go into my personal details but I was having a really bad time and things just snowballed, continuing on the cycle I received 3 more loans when my credit file was absolultry appaling

 

They were with Creditstar £300......now with CRS, DCA

 

Provident £900 now with Lowell

 

and H AND T £250, still in house even though defaulted on payments aroubbd 2015 (this is not registered in credit file it just shows in current loans as late. i.e no default issued.

 

I want to pursue these loans as irresponsible lending I dont want compo I would like them washed of my file or else I know for a fact Lowells and CRS will come after me in court.

 

My question is how do I go about this if its with DCAs?

 

at the time my credit file was showing over 10k debt all defaulted,

 

thanks in advance
