    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Received letter from Capital One in April 18 RE:A credit card debt.

 

We are writing to inform you we have instruced Fredrickson to act on our behalf to arrange payment of your capital one account, blah blah blah.

 

I DONT HAVE A CAPITAL ONE ACCOUNT.

 

Checked credit file with call credit and already listed on my report as sustained arrears.

 

Steady flow of letters coming from Fredrickson now one stating on 5/6/18 "as there is a default on your credit file this may affect future credit".

 

Checked credit files this morning no default as of yet.

 

Sent SAR to Capital One and received reply back stating "The information you have requested has not been enclosed as we cannot locate a capital one account in your name using the details above".

 

  • So they have added an account to my credit file in arrears
  • Have sent me letters stating they have passed it onto Fredrickson
  • Received steady flow of letters from Fredrickson
  • But they state they dont have any record of me ??????

As stated above i do not have or had any dealings with Capital One .

 

Whats the next course of action please ?

Is this a completely new one that we haven't heard about before?

 

Also, when you sent the SAR did you refer to an account number or did you just use your name and your address?

In view of what you have, I think this one is ready for some formal action.

 

I would begin an immediate complaint to the ICO and I would also send them a 14 day letter before claim and tell them that either they have not satisfied the SAR correctly or else they are processing inaccurate information against you and that if they do not sort the problem out immediately and also make a suitable offer of compensation within 14 days that you will bring an action against them for breach of their statutory duty and without further notice.

 

I see that there have been suggestions to email the CEO – but everybody should understand that this is an ongoing problem that has blighted your life since 2003 and with many different companies. I think the time to allow it to be sorted by little internal corrections with derisory gestures of goodwill is over. I think that this is a huge problem you are dealing with and it is about time that you started taking formal action whenever possible and start collecting judgements and compensation. The more you do this kind of thing the more you will start to find out what is happening and also the better evidence you will have four similar problems in the future.

 

In another thread I suggested that your name is pretty common and you should introduce a middle initial or even two to make on a more distinctive. Quite rightly you rejected this is being rather undignified. I don't blame you. However, I'm quite sure your parents – none of our parents – ever imagined when they were naming us that data processing would become so huge and so pervasive and so difficult to correct once an error was made, – when they named us.

 

As awful as it sounds, I think these kind of problems are likely to follow you around and now could be the time to take some real action to try and prevent it happening in the future. As far as I can make out you have had between eight and 10 cases of mistaken identity which have affected you very badly in terms of the stress, damage to credit rating, difficulty getting mortgages – really life changing problems.

 

I'm sure if all of our parents realised how it was going to be, they would have all thought about giving us much more distinctive names. Once again, I would really suggest that you consider this. Once again I don't blame you if you don't like the idea that I think that these things only ever going to get worse. The person for whom you keep on getting mistaken has got a more distinctive name than you because he has a middle initial – but you yourself have said that you believe that he is not using any more – maybe in order to add to confusion and to avoid his own debts. Who knows.

 

Anyway, there's my advice – I suggest you bring a small claim and if that suits you then send the letter before claim straightaway and we will help you draft the claim. Send the complaint to the ICO immediately.

Just received a final response today from Capital One.

 

They have been unable to locate any account for myself with the details i have supplied, with this they are unable to supply me with a SAR.

 

They have requested DOB, previous addresses etc to assist them locating an account and also request a screenshot of the account showing on my credit file.

 

Never done a MCOL before so may need help, or should i ring them and try sort it over the phone ?

well I suppose that logical being that its not 'yours'

 

no harm in ringing them at all

take a scan of your CRA file and ask for an email you can send it to

so the bod on the phone can see it>

has the letter an email contact and phone number?

Hi DX,

 

The letter has a phone number but no email address.

 

I will try ringing and asking for the person on the letter but i very much doubt i will get to speak to that person.

 

Thanks

I think your main target of action in your ongoing woes needs to be the Credit Reference Agency as it seems to me that is where your personal data is getting mixed up with this other person's. It's almost certainly the CRA that has given Capital One/Fredrickson your address.

 

Given how long these problems have been dogging you and the refusal of the CRA to sort it out once and for all I think you may want to speak with a solicitor as this goes well beyond token damages. I

 

think you're looking at five figure damages here.

 

I also think you need to make a comprehensive complaint to the ICO detailing all the problems you've had over the years.

They may not be able to do much with the data breaches that predate the GDPR but for the current ones I think they might throw the book at the CRA and make an example of them.

not sure on the CRa giving details to cap1 or freds…

someone linked those details..it wont be the CRa

they only act or 'hold' data given to them.

 

the target is the creditors that sent that info to the CRF providers.

 

if you look at luco19's other threads mrabody, it might explain this is part of a much bigger issue.

The CRA is definately responsible for giving out my details , but they state this is only a possible match and is up to the company to carry out the appropriate checks to make sure they have the right person.

 

 

I have made a complaint to the ICO and they have found what the CRAs are doing is perfectly fine, my arguement being is that they know the data they are recording is wrong and have admitted that it is wrong but refuse to remove it with out the comapnies permission, however they see it as the companies fault and the CRAs are just a third party recording the data.

 

 

 

In my ongoing case with O2 the CRA have removed the wrong data after some months without the permission from O2 because they seen a complaint made by me on social media, ( i can only assume this website).Again this was my arguement to the ICO but again this was seen as the CRAs doing no wrong.

 

 

As explained in other threads this has been going on for years and this other persons details keep getting merged with mine to the extent of just in the last few weeks i have had new searches on my credit report for this person trying to take out new credit cards and also car finance.

 

 

Because my credit file is clear at the moment from the mistakes then these companies are seeing a report which they think is for this other person applying for credit and he will be granted the finance/credit cards etc based on my clean credit history, then months down the line when he defaults i will end up with all of these accounts on my report. It will then take me months or years to clear my name again and when i do he will just do it again.

 

 

It is a never ending circle.

Given how long this has been going on, the Credit Agency should not be giving out your details "possible" match or not.

 

Out of curiosity, was the complaint to the ICO made pre-GDPR?

 

Hi , yes it was made pre GDPR, but not looked at until it came into force.
