    • 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.

ive been receiving letters from Lowell asking for payment of an old debt.

 

I think I owe the money but im not too happy about the amounts they are saying I owe,

and im not going to pay a figure that they say I owe

 

don't they by law have to send me proof of the actual true amount owed before they can threaten me with court.

 

any help out there would be very much appreciated thankyou.

Would not worry about it. Sounds like a fishing letter, which you don't respond to.

 

Check your credit record first to see if the debt is still showing and then come back to report what you have found.

 

If the debt has not been paid or acknowledged for 6 years, it will be statued barred, so not enforceable.

We could do with some help from you.

there is a default date on the main page and a account start date on the file when I open it.

 

im very confused as to the actual true dates of these accounts as it was a long time ago.

 

don't the debt collectors have to produce proof of debt before they can force any form of payment from me.

Not worth sending such letters.

 

Reason for us asking exactly what debts these are, is to identify exactly what you owe and best way to play this.

 

Are these debts for phones you were buying ? Airtime contracts ?

 

Did you have problems with phones or service ? Did you register complaints ?

 

Only reason to contact Lowell would be ask for original creditors details including reference numbers, so that you could contact companies you owed debts to for more information i.e. The contract and a breakdown of any debt left.

We could do with some help from you.

The accounts where for 3mobile 4years ago and I was living in Scotland at the time.

 

I've long since moved to England after getting divorced.

 

They sent me a solicitors letter last week but there was no court action mentioned on the letter, intact the letter itself wasn't even signed and all they where saying was to contact them for payment options.

 

Oh and the value of the debt is £1200

Is that one account owing of 1200 quid or have Lowlifes been bone idle and lumped all accounts together hoping you won't notice?

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!

Hahaha no mate it's 3 seperate accounts and I did take them out but it was a long time ago and I have no idea how much I owe, and I'm sure as hell not going to pay the amounts they say I owe without any evidence of such.

 

All they have stated in any correspondence is the amount I owe and that I should contact them asap.

 

They have also sent a solicitors letter and stated I should make all correspondence to them although the letter has no signature on it. Mmm mmm very confusing

ok you seem a wee bit green so lets cross some I's and dot some t's.

 

1st ..a debt collector, nor their fake/tame paper solicitor have ANY LEGAL POWERS.

they ARE NOT BAILIFFS

 

2. all the letters are auto generated, and will all come from the same PC system/printer with differing letterheads.

 

3. they have purchased the debts for

 

4. you are not expected under Ofcom guidelines to be charged 'till end of contract' monthly sums, as that is unfair and unlawful.

 

5. the accounts were taken out whilst resident in SCOTLAND that means after 5yrs from last payment the debts are EXTINUQUISHED..gone dead parrot.

 

so

twice now ive asked for a list of your debts concerned here, and what we need to know...

 

help us to help you..
