    • 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?

    • 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.

Hello,

 

I have received a copy of my CCA with Aqua (Halifax) from 1st Credit today, I have had a good look over it and there are a few thing that strike me as being strange:confused:

 

It comes as two parts (separate pages), the first is entitled 'Your Priority Application Form' this has my personal details together with income and bank details.

 

The second page is entitled 'Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1975' - however, there are no specific financial details on this page either, it has my signature only and it has not been signed on behalf of Halifax.

 

Does it need to have these details in order to comply with the Consumer Credit Act 1974?

I started with nothing - and now years later, I have most if it left!

can you post it up so people can look over it, removing all personal details first

 

Hope these are okay .... I can see the figures on the second document now ... I was looking for a 'table' layout and therefore didn't read it properly ... sorry about that:oops:

OK, says Priority application form for one thing.

 

Also says sign on page 3 so did you get three pages?

 

Halifax havent signed it,

 

you ticked the payment protection was this explained to you at the time, if not claim it back if they insist this is valid, hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge in CCA's can offer some further assistance here.

 

Is it valid, possibly

No, I only got 2 pages, but the page they sent with my signature on is page 3 ....

No, it wasn't and PPI is something that I never sign up for ... so I'm not quite sure why I ticked that ..

I would like to respond to 1st Credit later today and in order I do so appropriately it would be really helpful if I could get views on the validity of my CCA copy from more 'knowledgeable' CAG members ... if it is valid then I can deal with it accordingly.

They have fulfilled part of your CCA request in that the document contains reference to a credit limit, reference to an interest rate and your signature. plus Terms and Conditions. They have not totally fulfilled the requirements of the CCA 1974 for a copy of the agreement in that they must also send statements showing what has been paid and what is outstanding.

 

In the event of court action they would have to produce the original and they creditor hasn't signed it which means it was never properly executed.

 

The Consumer Credit Act 1974 Section 61 (1) states:

 

A regulated agreement is not properly executed unless

(a) a document in the prescribed form itself containing all the prescribed terms

and conforming to regulations under section 60(1) is signed in the prescribed

manner both by the debtor or hirer and by or on behalf of the creditor or owner.

 

This being the case they don't have a valid legal document with which to pursue this alleged debt.

I have to say this is pretty close to being a bonafide CCA, however i'm a bit concerned about the bit where it says "we will decide your credit limit", where does it say what the limit was at the time you signed?.

 

Also i can't see where it says they can vary the interest (i presume they have done) i do think that rate is excessive i would never have agreed to that.

 

IMHO i think you're walking on thin ice here, unless you get something more to go on when i comes to the court stade

Please note i have no legal training any advice i give comes from my own experience and from what i have learned on this site

IMHO its enforceable.....

 

"we will decide your credit limit" is a valid statement

 

non signature is not really an issue...they could sign it just before the case if they wanted to.

 

the judge would have to decide how much you would have been predjudiced by non signature of the creditor.... not much i feel

 

with that agreement I would not chance it....sorry

They could sign it before the case - but you have a copy that was sent to you with a covering letter and it was unsigned at the time you received it, therefore it would be easily argued that it was signed in retrospect and not at the time the document was drawn up. I raised exactly this issue with Cabot and they closed their file long ago. If the creditor hasn't signed the original at the time of the alleged agreement, the agreement wasn't properly executed they haven't got a leg to stand on.

It wouldnt matter unfortunately....

 

as long as s61 and 127(3) has been complied with ie you have signed a doc with the prescribed terms....you dont have a chance

 

see the Rankine judgement posted on my thread here....> http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/show-post/post-1554322.html

 

they ended up with at least £40,000 in costs....OUCH!!

 

it depends on the judge, but if you have signed a doc that has the precribed terms, it wont matter that the creditor hasnt signed, if it gets to court.

 

on the other hand it might be enough to worry a dca!......your call

There is nothing in the Rankine Judgement that refers to Section 61 and Section 61 requires the creditor's signature as well as the the debtor's signature. Therefore in the poster's case Section 61 has not been complied with.

I mentioned the Rankine judgement to show how a case could go..(worst scenario)

 

I am trying to give good advice, in that a DCA might be fooled on a temporary basis...but if it got to court then a judge would be a different issue.....and for example I quote CCA1974 s.127(3)

 

(3) The court shall not make an enforcement order under section 65(1) if section 61(1)(a) (signing of agreements) was not complied with unless a document (whether or not in the prescribed form and complying with regulations under section 60(1)) itself containing all the prescribed terms of the agreement was signed by the debtor or hirer (whether or not in the prescribed manner).

Thank you all for your input on this .... sadly, it really just confirms my own thoughts on the matter, it's not the end of the world just a few hundred quid - I will see if I can reinstate the 'nominal payments' with 1st Credit ... can cope with £1.50 per month:)

 

Who blacked out the name and wrote '1st Credit' on the top?
It was me who blacked out the written information on the form, however the '1st Credit' narration was already on it when I received it ... assume it was Aqua/Halifax that marked up! Edited by Augmented13th

Also, raise the issue about them not having sent you statements. I take Dave's point about Section 60. There are things I would do under that Section to prove it hadn't been fulfilled but they are not things I would recommend to a poster! Better to be on the safe side.

Hi pinky

 

I am at the sort of cutting edge at the moment......:) I am trying things That I DEFINITELY would not recommend to a new user...

 

As far as augmented goes I would query it with the dca and go as far as threatening court action to see what transpires.... certainley worth a DSAR just to panic / delay them.. and any charges will make any default notice invalid.
