    • 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.

Thanks Bankfodder, useful to know :)

 

Well it's the 16th, and the post's arrived, almost unsurprisingly there's nothing from HSBC. I'll wait and see if anything turns up tomorrow that they may send today, but I won't be suprised if nothing turns up, I'm sure it'd only be a generic response... and we all know how it costs the bank £25+ a time to send out a generic letter! :lol::wink:

 

9 days left to enter a defence... :twisted:

Do I understand that you have put in a claim for an indeterminate amount and that they have not complied with your DPA request, but that the clock is still ticking on the DPA?

I managed to get all my statements online and work out the total charges, less any that have been previously refunded, and therefore the amount I am claiming is accurate... although I have all my statements via online banking I did request statements under the DPA which so far I have heard nothing about, by Monday 20th the 40 days will have expired.

 

Just to note, my DPA request was done under the old style letter which requested a refund of all the charges or to be sent all my statements (under the DPA). I do feel this was still a clear request under the DPA which they should have at least acknowledged!

Dear Dave

 

They do not like bad publicity. I got the deeds to my garage back £116,000 wrote off and an offer of another hundred thousand which I have turned down. Becauise it is not enough for what as happened to my wife.

 

Type the name of the Chief Executive into your search engine. Type >>> Dyfrig John HSBC BANK. See how I advertise their product.

 

Regards

Hi Richard,

 

I've been following your 'diary' and if my calculations are correct their DPA deadline expired yesterday. Did you hear from them regarding that (a legally required deadline)?

 

If not, the Dave/BankFodder seem almost overzealous that the bank should be reported - I know that I will absolutely certainly report them (the bank that is) when my deadline is one second overdue...

 

Hope the next part goes well for you...

I'm eager to know how you are getting on Richard? :D I'm very new to this site as well as forums but I'm very determined to get my bank charges back. Going to be requesting my DPA details on Friday from both HSBC and Capital One!

 

I hope you get the result you are looking for. As I'm quite confident you will... :wink:

well HSBC still have 3 days to enter their defence or at least acknowledge the claim... Saturday is the day of judgement, the day by which they must enter their defence or acknowledge the claim, I will then apply for a judgement to be made.

 

I've been incredibly busy over the past few days with work (doing 14 hour days) so haven't had a chance to enter a complaint regarding their failure to comply with my DPA request. Though rest assured I fully intend to.

well.... seemingly no defence entered so far (well status on moneyclaim online hasn't changed at all)

 

but having tried numerous times since midnight to apply for a judgement i'm being given the error message

 

You cannot request a Judgment by Default at this time.

 

The Defendant is allowed 14 days from the date they were served with the claim to defend or admit your claim before you can request a Judgment by Default.

 

If the Defendant files an Acknowledgement of Service within 14 days of receiving the claim form, they will be entitled to 28 days from the date they were served with the claim form to file a defence or admission of your claim. If the Defendent does not file a defence or admission within the 28 days you can request a Judgment by Default.

 

If you have not requested judgment, the defendant may still file a defence to your claim after the 14 days or 28 days have elapsed. The claim will then be transferred to your local court for a hearing to be arranged.

 

Argh! Will try again in the morning, not too sure what the hold up is though?

Have been on the phone to the MCOL Helpdesk who have told me that although 14days has passed, because the 14th day was on a weekend I cannot request judgement until the end of today (end of the first working day after the deadline). So submitting my claim on a Saturday has given HSBC an extra 2 days to file an acknowledgement or defence! Fingers double crossed they won't though, I could really do with some money ASAP! lol.
