    • OK, thanks, I won't wait for them. On a side note, some of the posts on here are a bit frustrating, I read through five pages or so of someone going through the court process rooting for them as I'm reading, then nothing, not heard of again. Left here wondering what the outcome was, lol!
    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because there was still £69 owing, I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle. However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account ......... has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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.

After reading a lot of posts and getting the information required I sent my DPA with £10 to the clydesdale head office on the 1st july truly expecting no end of hassle due to what I have previously read. Within one week I got a reply saying they dont have to provide proof of manual intervention under the DPA but will provide all statements required. Then on the 25th July I got all my statements, now ready to ask for my money back, (over £2000) will send this during next week, and eagerly await there reply.

Hi George

 

Well done on the court papers and good luck :)

 

I'll be following your progress since I'm so closely behind you. My LBA with the Clydesdale runs out in 2 weeks, after which I'll be filing court papers with Edinburgh sheriff court.

 

What address did you end up using?

Hi Piggy bank, filed papers today and court clerk couldnt have been more helpfull, even saying make sure they pay the 39 quid costs when they phone you! she also said date would be Nov but they will pay up before that as they have done so all the time, and are getting quicker with it now.

Could this be the crumbling of the Clydesdale bank defences at last.

 

Piggy bank------------Address as St Vincent Place, Glasgow.

New LBA was sent 03/10/06 due to contractual interest, received a reply from CB today 11/10/06 apologising as it has been 8 weeks since i complained and get this quote

" WE HOPE TO BE IN A POSITION TO ADVISE YOU OF OUR FINDINGS WITHIN THE NEXT FOUR WEEKS. IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DO SO, WE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATE AT THAT TIME"

 

12 weeks and no findings, stalling me thinks, interest grows.

Anyway this time assuming i can fill in the court papers correctly they will only get the 28 days as advised. Court papers due 1st November and im looking forward to court.

Mel vs Clydesdale bank

 

My Court Hearing was yesterday. I found out on Friday that they had entered a defence. Also on Friday I had been offered a settlement £735 but as this did not include interest or costs and was to be in full and final settlement I declined. My total claim is for approx. £3910 plus interest and costs.

 

They had a solicitor in court with their defence which was much the same as the contents of the bank's letter that they send you refusing payment. The sheriff asked him to elaborate on the points made in the defence but was told that he would need more time.

 

So there is to be another hearing on 1st December.

 

We were out of court within 10 minutes. (A sleepless night for nothing).

 

I am told that the ball in now in Clydesdale's court so it's a waiting game again.

Clydesdale Bank.

I hit them with 7 small claims (on my personal account) covering different periods and they have intimated that they will defend the actions but they have asked the court to "conjoin" the actions and have further asked that the "conjoined actions" be remitted to the Ordinary Roll under rul 15(1) of the Small Claims Rules 2002.

My interpretation of this is that they want to have the hearing for the total amount covered by the small claims actions but I am unsure what they mean by asking for the action to be be transferred to the Ordinary Roll.

Rule 15(1) of the Small Claims Rules refers specifically to the transfer of a claim to another court??

Anybody any thoughts or experience of this type of defence?

Hi HRB,

 

What they are doing is taking your case out of the small claims and into the ordinary cause track due to the amount being claimed, ideally you should have done one small claim at a time in chunks of £750.00.

 

The ordinary cause leaves you open to paying expenses in the event you lose and the rules are alot more complicated. If you go here :Ordinary Cause Rules it explains it all in detail.

 

I am going through the summary cause at the moment with LTSB.

Oooh Mel, well done for taking it as far as you have - I hope you kick their backsides! I am sending off my initial data protection letter on Monday with my £10 so I will see how it goes. Quick question, do I send this to my branch or to head office?

 

Best of luck on 1 December - are you the first person to take them as far?
