    • Yes, but the process starts here... https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/data-protection-complaints/what-to-expect/ This involves making a complaint to GS first before approaching ICO. However, at the time of the complaint, I beleive we'd advise the complainant to ask for some compensation and take it from there. @FTMDave?? No, I meant this forum, The Consumer Action Group, where you're posting right now.😄 (We're in the slow process of rebranding as The National Consumer Service.)
    • Thank you. The npower debt was from 2019/2020 until EON took over the account late 2021. npower had set a DCA on me even though I owed them nothing. I spoke to a customer service agent, following up by email, who confirmed I was in credit . I made a complaint to head office who sent a barrage of emails, changing the amounts each time. According to them, I owed £279. The debt grew to what it is now as first npower and then EON subsequently failed to put a payment arrangement and direct debit in place to pay off this supposed sum and my ongoing bills. I was very ill with Covid, struggling in lockdown with a disabled child and informed them of all this. EON stopped their legal action when I took them to the ombudsman as this was part of my complaint and requested remedy but I have not received a notice of discontinuance.  I would like to set up my own dd to pay them off but am concerned they could still take legal action. I am on a low income and can’t afford to pay them more than a token amount each month.  And yes, they state their client is EON and that they can return the debt to EON who can either register a default or take me to court.

    • 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.

Morning All,

 

I have an issue with an old txt loan that shows as appeared on my credit file around 2014/15. Original loan was taken out 2012, a time when my partner was unable to work through illness, we both took out payday loans, wonga txt loan and provident etc. All of these debts have now gone, but this one remains as a reminder of those days. The details were always a bit weird on my file as it was made to look as though I had made a payment towards it but never did.

The debt is very close to being statute barred but now it has disappeared from my file, it's registered at one of my old addresses and I'm concerned that a CCJ will be issued at the old address. I really don't know what to do about this, should I make contact and open up an old wound, make a payment plan or take a chance and leave it?

 

Any advice would be much appreciated,

 

Thank you

What is the value of the debt? I certainly wouldn't be considering making a payment plan at this point but I would be concerned at the possibility of a backdoor CC J being obtained. I think I would start investigating it, finding out what it is about, who it is with – sending off for a CCA and seeing if it is either statute barred or unenforceable.

 

I think you probably need to let them know your new address so that you can make sure that you receive any papers.

Hi BankFodder,

 

That is my concern too and that is why I wonder the best thing to do. I have details of dates etc from old emails.

All letters were lost.

 

The original loan with TXTLOAN was for £300 with interest and charges added it was increased to £692,

that was reduced to £554 presumably when MYJAR took over, and those are the details that were on my file.

 

I wouldn't be able to pay back much as on UC and PIP myself now.

 

Thank you

Ensure they have your current address, this puts a stop to them getting a back door CCJ.

 

Also keep your credit file updated with your current address.

 

As for paying them anything, NO!

 

Get them to jump through some hoops before even considering paying anything.

 

If your sole income is UC PIP, then the MAXIMUM these vultures will ever get you to pay, is £1 a month,

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!

Hi Bazooka Boo,

 

yes my credit file is up to date with current address,on electoral register etc all is above board.

But how do I go about contacting them, this is almost 6 years old ?

 

Thank you

 

Do they have your current address?

 

If so, then DO NOT contact them, there is absolutely no need.

 

Just because it's still on your CRF doesn't mean it isn't already SB.

 

Have they ever corresponded with you at your current address?

MYJAR don't have my current address, they have never corresponded with me at my current address.

The last contact from them was via e-mail in 2015, this was to issue a default notice which had already been issued in 2012 by TXTLOAN.

I last contacted them roughly 5 years 11 months ago.

The account defaulted 6 years ago in September

 

Thank you

Hi dx100uk , there are no others on my file the rest have gone, wonga was written off and others dealt with or dropped away so this is the only one left.

 

This was the last of the loans I had, on 26/05/2012 it was for £300 ( credit limit increased from £200) I didn't pay anything on this one.

 

So the last payment to them was £234 (for a £200 loan) the day before on 25/05/2012.

 

Thank you

Yes, it's very close. It dropped off my credit file early, this month, this is what concerns me as I wonder if MYJAR will take some action.

The original default is in September so it should stay on my CF until then?

 

Unless MYJAR are planning to take it to court or to reinstate it on my CF with the later default date that they issued in 2015.

You mean the default thing?

The entries that were on my file had a default date in september 2012 that was also the date txt loan referred me to a debt collector.

september 2015 I received another default notice via email

but from MYJAR they were threatening me with court action too,then making out it had already happened it was all very strange

I just thought maybe they will try it on ?

Thanks, looks like their time has expired?

 

Is there a letter to send for not responding to a CCA request?

 

and if I send a new SAR now,

 

I need to sign, provide all addresses since the account opened and a copy of a Council tax letter with my current address on as ID proof ?

 

Sorry for all the questions, just need to make sure I am doing things right,

 

Thank you

No, you don't need to inform them, they know the rules, just let sleeping dogs lie.
