    • Documents finally arrived today from PRA group.  New day have sent me lots of paperwork, copies of default letters and statements, print out of what looks like a CCA that would have been completed on online, IP address as signature.  This debt is not too old, so possible this is the true copy of agreement ?  Not sure what my defence would be beyond irresponsible lending. 
    • pers i wouldn't.. all you need to know is in the posts of that thread....that being section 127(3) of the CCA refers. if under a CCA return, the 'creditor' claims its a recon, it must not contain any details like a sig, tickbox, or typed name (whether you signed physically or by online tickbox) 1. those are not necessary in a recon, so why inc them? (faked??) 2, it cant thus be a recon!!, it must be a copy of the 'original' from the original creditor, not from a debt buyers filing cabinet. they shouldn't not be 'mixing' some original docs from the OC with crap from their filing cabinet, claiming its ALL a recon! because some of it is faked. just remember there are far more docs like NOA and a DN that are as equally important to a court claim of 'this debt is enforceable'. never rely solely upon the dodgy agreement argument.
    • i have clarified your thread title and your post to make it easier to understand. if you have their engineers report, thats good enough. it will be their decision to repair, refund or replace. but they must under CRA do one of the above. to date how have you been in contacting the manu?  
    • Thank you both, I will make those changes. I have also downloaded the compensation list to add to the evidence and complete the protection bit off their website.  I am going to court next Thursday to deliver the bundle; I will confirm this on Tuesday. I have been to court a few times to represent the military when a soldier is in court, but I will be going. Thank you for all the additional advice. Once I have the whole bundle, I will email it to the admin email. Ill be honest, this is not about the money for me, I do not mind losing that, so I will not be signing a confidentiality agreement.   You guys are amazing

    • 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.

Just a quick question in relation to credit files and the six years they go by. Below is a screenshot of one of my accounts showing on my credit file. Some of the payments are now 6 years old and are still showing.

 

Are they meant to drop off after the 6 years, or is it in relation to the whole accoutn dropping off after 6 years?

 

I was under the impression 6 years after a payment was made, it would drop off.

IMO it will all fall off after 6 years, 6 years after the account was last active. so in april 2011 it will fall off, or you will have to prompt them to take it off.

 

Thats my take on it n-e-way, I might be corrected.

 

If you could get the 3 3's taken off, this would be good history to have. it is settled now, u never no they might?

Thanks for your reply :)

 

See this is where im getting confused, because everywhere you read it talks about CRA holding onto your payment history for 6 years. If it was to do with the date the account closes or becomes setteled, we could be talking in this case around 10 years.

 

Very difficuly to try and find an answer anywhere.

I will give the credit reference agencies a call tomorrow to clarify, but after searching around it appears that it is six years from when an account is settled/closed that the information is removed. However this dosent apply to defaults whic are removed six years from the date they are applied.

 

This really has angered me because 5 years ago when I turned 18 I was finically stupid. I racked up three defaults and made numerous late payements.

 

Four years ago I sat down and sorted everything out anda year later everything was paid off and settled/closed. Since then I am very cautious with money and make all my payments on time. Ive got myself a good job and purchased a house.

 

The three defaults will drop off in March/April and May 2008 which will be like a weight being lifted - However im trying to get them removed sooner using the default letters.

 

My concern now though, is that the accounts I managed badly dont show settled dates until 2004. These were opened late 2001, early 2002. Up until today I was under the impression that as soon as the six years had passed, the information would start dropping off. (EG - A later payment in Dec 2001 would drop off in Dec 2007).

 

So all the late payments I made in 2001/2002 are going to stay showing on my credit report until around 2011 (six years after the accounts were settled).

 

Bad choices and decisions I made when I was 18/19 are going to haunt and hinder me until im around 29/30 years old.

 

Very very pi$$ed off :mad:

Hi,

 

Ive spoken to the credit reference agencies and they confirm that the information stays on the account for six years AFTER is has been setteled/closed. (Excpet defaults, which drop off six years after being added).

 

Now this is somthing im going to look into as I believe it to be extremely unfair and unjustified. In mu opinion six years is too long anway, but six years AFTER the account has been settled/closed means late payments could stay on your account for 10, 15 or even 20 years.

 

Example being - You open up a store card in 2000, make numerous late payments that affect you credit rating in 2001. You manage to sort the situation out, however you keep the account open until 2015. Those late payments wont drop off until 2021 - 20 years after you made those late payments.

The situation with 'linked addresses' is similar. I am now getting post from people I purchased a property from - and moved out of over a year ago, there is a link to them on my file and sorry but a NOTICE OF DISASOCIATION is not enough, it needs to be removed as I have no financial link other than purchasing a property they once owned.

 

Experian and the CRA's are going to be next on the list for action, as are the ****** solicitors who deal with the DCAs....

Ive got a linked address because Halifax sent my loan application to a completly wrong address (other side of the country!) Im now in the process of trying to get that removed.

 

They also have me linked to my partners parents address for some strange reason! Ive never lived there, never ordered anything there and even when I met my partner she wasnt living there!

 

CRA say that it is industry practice to hold data for 6 years, however would be interesting to find out where it says the information will be held for 6 years AFTER the account has been closed.

 

If information does need to be held for six years, I personally believe it should be 6 years from the date it is added.

From Experian:

 

We hold open accounts indefinitely. Once an account is closed, we hold it for six years from the settlement date. We also keep defaulted accounts for six years from the date of the default. The current balance on a defaulted account should show if payments have been made since the default or if the account now been fully paid.

 

 

Defaulted and settled accounts are kept on our records for six years from the date of default or settlement. After this time they are automatically removed.

 

From Call Credit:

 

All active (open) SHARE accounts will appear on your credit file whilst the account remains active, as long as lender remains a member of SHARE. This is the case whether the account is up to date or in arrears (but not default).

 

Once a SHARE account is closed/settled, the record will remain on your credit file for a period of 6 years from the date of closure/settlement.

 

If any of your SHARE accounts are defaulted by the lender (this usually occurs when an account is in serious arrears and the lender issues a default notice) the record of the account will remain on your credit file for 6 years from the date of default. The date of default is confirmed to us by the lender.

 

From Equifax:

 

Closed or inactive accounts, depending on the manner in which they were paid, stay on your report for up to 6 years from the date of their last activity.
