****Lowell Portfolio Ltd/LEGAL EXPENSES FUND****

[UK26]

 

Dear CAG Users

 

Some of you know that I have taken Lowell Portfolio I Ltd to court for enforcement orders under the Data Protection Act 1998.

 

Lowell’s have published incorrect data with all the credit reference agencies and have refused to deal with any disputes.

 

Today (18/02/2009) was a directions hearing at Peterborough County Court. Lowells appear very worried about the case and have chosen to use a barrister to defend them at court.

 

Today lasted 1 hour and the judge has indicated the next hearing in April will last 5 hours. The case is currently allocated to the small clams process. However the judge was in minds to reallocate the hearing to the fast track due to the complex legal issues.

 

If I obtain the orders this will be a big issue to all the debt collection agencies as they will no longer be able to continue carrying on business the way they currently do.

 

Lowells barrister confirmed today, that should I obtain judgement Lowells would take the matter to appeal and would be willing to take the matter up with the high court of appeal should it be necessary.

 

I need help and support from users who can donate some funds to help with my legal expenses, I need to instruct a barrister to work the case on my behalf and also seek legal insurance to protect my self financially should I lose the case.

 

The current Lowell topic with over 700 replies has sadly been moved into a private area of the forum to stop the Lowell Group watching the progress of the case.

 

If anyone is interested in joining the private topic please PM a forum admin who will arrange to give you access.

 

Its vital this case continues or Lowells will once again get away with there bad ways

 

Some of you may know that Lowells have been on the BBC TV Watchdog programme for the way they conduct business.

 

All the best

 

Dave (UK26)

Was up till 4am reading your thread and am surprised you are taking it so far. Having said that it's about time they were brought to book. I think that the movement to a private forum is overdue, it's obvious there are spies. Good luck with the case.

[UK26]

Thanks mate

[willtheywontthey]

20 pounds onto you and the good fight

[woody1066]

Well I would but I cannot access it as apparently it appears that I am either a) A lowells spy or B) so untrustworthy that I cant even access a forum that I think I have posted on.

 

 

Anyway back to espionage for dummies!

This post provides three functions... first to tell Woody that the first post does state "PM to site admin to get access" :D:D

 

Secondly to ask is there a target? I dont know much about barrister costs, are they the ones in funny wigs in crown court?

 

and thirdly just a shameless bump as this needs to be made a sticky really! Site Admins?

 

The actions of DCA's and their flouting of the laws of the land need to be brought to account.

[westendwendy]

I've no idea of the cost of employing barristers etc but I know that some very experienced CAGgers are working on this and this should keep the costs down a little.

 

Meanwhile I wish UK26 and all of his legal team the very best,the stakes are high but could change the face of the debt collection industry as we know it.

 

Knowledge is Power and CAG seem to have plenty of both.

I will provide updates here for users who do not have access.

 

at the moment, we are re-drafting the statement of case to cover some issues raised at the first court hearing that took place on the 18th Feb.

 

Will provide you with more updates asap

[noomill060]

UK-FFS have a bit of sense.

 

No updates outside the hidden thread. Thats the whole point of having a hidden thread.

 

Its too important to turn into a circus again.

[sosumi]

 

Bump.

Subscribing...

 

Good for you taking them all the way UK26. Good luck and best wishes.

[Alex_DeLarge]

Just a thought, I subscribed to the thread in question back when it was only a couple of pages long, I have not posted on it yet but can view it after it was made private.

 

Does this mean anyone who subscribed before it was made private can access it now?

 

If this is not an issue please ignore me, but I though it was worth mentioning as I am sure we do not want the wrong people looking in.

Lowells need bringing to book.

Today Lowells, aka Hamptons, aka Red sent me a letter saying they would be contacting experian for a copy of my credit file to decide which route of enforcement they were going to take.

I thought that only the person named could could call for a personal file and in any case, a DCA should not be able to conduct a search as they are not an approved financial organisation.

As soon as I have some spare cash, its coming your way.

You do know who OWNS the CRAs, i.e. the DCAs/Banks, they are the CUSTOMERS of the DCAs, thats why im amazed when i read such things on here as "i have checked my credit file today", as soon as you do that it gets flaged up to all these morons, and the next thing you know your letter box and phone is full of all of them.

 

Big wake up call DO NOT check your credit file.

[MARTIN3030]

UK26-Saw your call for a stickie-but in view of all the stickies in this forum-it prob would be better to leave it-as interest is rejuvenated following the recent developments it should float around the top with an occasional bump.

Was watching a little light entertainment earlier and noticed something quite extraordinary.

 

 

 

Lowells datamatrix is on the letter from 3 telling the Lowell customer that they owe Lowells an imaginary £212 debt.:D

A donation from me, good luck UK26:D

Threat-o-gram no doubt sent by Lowell, if it came direct from "3" no doubt payment would be requested to their address - and not that of a third party who will take a percentage of the payment if it is made.
