    • 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?

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.

In October 2016 our car (a 2006 Peugeot 407) needed work doing on the brakes.

Both rear disks (which have wheel bearings integrated in to them), rear pads and one caliper.

 

Roll on to now. We had an issue with the brake/caliper on the side that was replaced which they did sort free of charge. However, the wheel bearings on the rear drivers side are failing. This was only changed 22 months ago (and have done approx. 10,000 miles) and should have lasted up to 70,000 miles. It is not a wear and tear part. It needs replacing and will cost £154 to do so all because the bearings are integrated in to the brake disk.

 

I am really ticked off that we have to pay again for the same part when it shouldn't have failed. The disk on the left rear, and it's bearings, are still in tip top condition.

 

Halfords say they only guarantee parts for 12 months but I'm just wondering if something like this is covered by the Consumer Rights Act or if I'm just going to have to take the hit and pay out again?

should fail again that quick!

yes I think you do have case for them to atleast give you some discount if not the whole thing free

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...

Absolutely they are integrated, yes. Paid £550 last time for the two disks,pads and one caliper. I know eBay show them separate but they're really not.

 

You possibly could force the bearings off and replace but otherwise, no. Had this argument last time :)

 

That's why I'm so annoyed they have failed as they were replaced last time along with the disks (obviously).

 

It's going in the garage on Wednesday so I'm going to have to pay up front but I'm thinking a letter/email to head office to see of i can claim some or all of the cost back.

Its not the brake disk, it's the wheel bearings that are part and parcel of the actual disk. Honestly, they're not separate. We tried loads of garages 2 years ago and every one of them explained about the bearings and that's why the disks are pricey.

 

Thanks though :)

Ok, seems odd there are two different options, since they are Brembo I assume it's one of the faster versions?

Anyway with the eurocarparts discount it's only £100 for the pair, which sadly you need to do as the discs should be matched, also new pads at the same time.

Is it Brembo ones that are fitted? If so I would contact them too see what they say. Brembo are top end so should certainly last longer than you have had.

That was just an example of what they look like. I can't remember what ones are fitted but they won't be Brembo.

 

They're not replacing both because the other one is still in great condition. You'd expect that if one fails the other would too (or at least be close to failing) but it's not. That'd also cost me in excess of £300 anyway which is unacceptable. They didn't say whether the pads will be replaced or not, but we have free brake pads for life with Halfords anyway so I'll make sure they do.

Oh. I can't afford both to be done so it's either I get the one done or don't have a car which isn't an option as my partner has a 12 mile commute to work.

 

I'm going to call them tomorrow and try and make sense of it.

Hmm. i just find it strange that a 2006 pug would have bearings like that. But then again it is a pug.
