    • thought your story rang a bell. https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/416315-knightsbridgecreditfix-iva-treated-me-very-badly-thinking-of-bk-now-help/ you vanished and never cameback. dx  
    • and it legally informs them of your correct and current address as you must do with all old debts last paid/used in say 7 yrs you dont want backdoor CCJ's. what were the names of these IVA scammers, the one you took it out with, and the one that scammed you to let them take over please? your story is slightly worrying. dx  
    • Incidentally, congratulations on not buying the warranty. That is another Big Motoring World rip-off. See what we have to say about extended warranties and the Big Motoring World attitude to them is particularly unhelpful
    • well that google is from 2019, but the photos are certainly of someone driving on the public highway in/out by an ANP system, though the site of where the camera actually is, is not showing there are anpr cameras up by the low yellow barriers but they wont get from facing shots from there. interesting, needs to be checked if the road IS a public highway but on private land, cause as you say, if the whole area is max 4hrs , how does the hotel work< ?? must have a reg entry system.  now as for taking pictures of cars on a public highway then guessing the are parking ...erm.... i dont thnk thats right nor allowed under GDPR. dx  
    • Under the consumer rights act 2015, if a defect manifests itself within 30 days and you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund. If any defect manifests itself within the first six months of ownership then you have a right to return the vehicle for a full refund subject to the retailers right to carry out a repair. If the retailer declines to repair or if the repair fails then you have the right to return. The problem here is that you have to assert their right. It's a bit ridiculous – but you have to do let them know preferably in writing that you are asserting your rights under the consumer rights act either the 30 day right or the six month right. I suppose that you haven't done this – which would be quite understandable because most people don't know that these rights exist and that they are subject to these conditions – the condition that the right must be inserted. It is frankly ridiculous. The dealers know it and we have lots of instances of this company delaying appointments et cetera and our strong suspicion is that they are simply trying to run their customers out of time. On the basis that you haven't asserted your rights, we now have to look to ordinary contract law. You are entitled to purchase a vehicle which is of satisfactory condition and which remains that way for a reasonable period of time. Clearly it is in satisfactory. They are blaming you. Has your independent inspection identified the reason for the defect? This will be important because as you have seen BMW are already saying it is down to your driving and you are going to have to produce evidence that it wasn't down to your driving and the you drove it absolutely reasonably and it was simply the condition of the car. Have you been without the car for any period of time. Is it driveable now? If the car was off the road for a substantial amount of time and was still off the road then you would be able to argue that this is a fundamental breach of contract and that you have been deprived of substantially the whole benefit of the contract and therefore you will be entitled to treat the contract as breached by Big Motoring World and insist on cancelling the contract. It may be that you will eventually be obliged to keep the car but have the repairs paid for. Have you had any quotations for the work that needs doing? I asked you questions about the MOT – but you haven't responded.

    • 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.

I intend to pursue this matter and now applying for compensation. The amount owed was for my costs pursuing the matter i am more than happy to chase them for more if they wanna play.

 

I have also notified the ICO of the letter they sent saying that the information i got from the ICO was not the way they wrote it and that i still need to pay. mmmmm sad that as the matter has just opened the case and that the ICO will ensure they remove the information about me if needed. I had a really helpful chat with them (for once).

 

This will no doubt generate further evidence for court as well so i get a win / win situation lol.

 

They can apply to set aside but will fight it also.

 

Finally the agreement doesn't have my name on it - So i hope they ready for the fun, 5 years of a default that was unlawful - how much compo is that worth.

 

:cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool::cool:

 

I do hope equifax and experian are also prepared i have contacted my house insurance as have legal protection and feel this is a personal legal dispute, i also have a director policy too and as a member of a large institute that provide legal support. one or the other will no doubt assist with legal costs and challeneges.

 

Watch this space i will update as much as possible.

When informed that the call is recorded for training and monitoring I always say I don't want it used for training. :razz:

 

I always ask for the ICO registration information - they often dont have it, shame i never discuss my personal data unless I know they comply with the DPA.

 

Finally I always record calls and state at the start of there call. Although I don't have too.

Have defense from CRA Equifax.

 

They ask for a strike out on the grouds that myclaim against them in respect of breaches of data protection act is not enforcable as they are Only Data Processes. (they are registered as data controllers)

 

Further more that i should have raised the issues with the ICO and they stated i didn't - Opps they didn't read the emails i sent them including the ruling of the ICO.

 

They also claimed i should have taken the person providing th information - opps they are the second defendant. the claim is against both parties.

 

Further more the other default they publish was removed after court action.

 

Think the solicitor needs to do her homework.

A reputable company like them wouldn't try to deceive would they? ;)

Retail Credit Company's extensive information holdings, and its willingness to sell them to anyone, attracted criticism of the company in the 1960s and 1970s. These included that it collected "...facts, statistics, inaccuracies and rumors… about virtually every phase of a person's life; his marital troubles, jobs, school history, childhood, sex life, and political activities." The company was also alleged to reward its employees for collecting negative information on consumers. Equifax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They think they have a statatory right - however the law is there for us all, and as my MP has now ask the ICO if they treat all data controllers the same - i am sure the CRA's are going to be in for a little ride. this is not about £500 costs its about my rights to be protected from private limited companies avoiding thier legal obligation and hiding behind facticious information that is not in legilsaton.;

 

hope they complied with the 8 principles. As they registered they would,

 

Information is accurate ????????????????? mmmmmm may be not looking forward to court in Rotherham.

I have just got off phone with information commisoners office -

 

EQUIFAX are joint data controllers and they therefore must comply with the principles of the data protection act.

 

They are confirming this in writing to me, there statement that they are data processes jointly with the providers.

 

It would appear that MP's have earned my respect on this occasions :lol:

I'll bet it doesnt end up getting to court after full particulars are scrutinized by their legal team and they realise they have stepped in an enormous steaming pile of their very own bovine pooh.

Of course I will pay you everything you say I owe with no proof.

Oooh Look....Flying Pigs

Why have the ICO not hit lowells with an enforcement notice. I have sent Lowell -life a SAR request which they sent back with my £10 Postal order saying

 

"Upon further investigation, we are now able to confirm that we have contacted you erroneously and that you are not, in fact, our debtor.

 

As such please accept our apologies for having troubled you, along with our assurances that your personal details have been removed from our databases. Please also be assured that this will not affect your credit rating at your address in anyway."

 

Pity they have already put a default for this on my credit file with gues who.....Equifax. I am also going to send a SAR to equifax to see what evidence they had to add it in the first place seeing as it was not mine.

 

I added this bit to the second SAR to lowells

 

 

"The Commissioner can now serve you with an 'information notice' requiring you to provide certain information within set time limits. Failure to comply with such notice, or providing deliberately false information, is a criminal offence. If the Commissioner concludes that there has been a breach of the Act, she may then serve you with an 'enforcement notice'. This could force you to cease processing personal data, or cease processing data in a particular way. Failure to comply with an enforcement notice is a criminal offence.

Criminal liability does not lie just with the data controller. It is possible for officers of a company, such as its directors or managers, to be personally criminally liable if the offence has been committed with their consent, connivance or neglect. Employees may also incur criminal liability in certain limited circumstances if they disclose or obtain personal data without authority of the data subject controller"

 

Perhaps the ICO should start biting instead of just barking all the time

 

Have you considered reporting it to the Finacial Ombudsmen and CSA to get them struck off.

 

Cheers

Have Lowells settled the CCJ yet? Or applied to have it set aside?

 

No they haven't settled it

 

and no they haven't applied for it to be set aside, hwoever can't see them doing this as the ICO investigation concluded they acted unlawfully.

BUMP

 

Caggers -

 

As you may be aware my legal dispute in relation to the relationships with third parties and CRA's has resulted in a formal complaint against the ICO for the two tier standards.

 

This investigation has concluded and i can now inform you that the ICO consider CRA as JOINT DATA CONTROLLERS!!!!!!!!!

 

THE DPA STATES IN SECTION 4(4) THAT IT SHALL BE THE DUTY OF THE DATA CONTROLLER TO COMPLY WITH THE DATA POTECTION PRINCIPLES. (I HAVE THIS IN FORMAL LETTER FROM ICO)

 

THEREFORE THE CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCIES AND THE SUPPLIERS ARE REQUIRED TO COMPLY WITH THE PRINCIPLES.

 

A LITTLE LATER IN THE LETTER IT THEN GOES ON TO STATE: WHEN AN INDIVIDUAL DOES SUPPLY THE CRA WITH CLEAR EVIDENCE OF INACCURATE INFORMATION THEN WE WOULD NOT EXPECT THEM TO WAIT FOR THE ORGANISATION BEFORE ACTING UPON THE REQUEST. IT IS CLEAR THE CREDIT REFERENCE AGENCY SHOULD INFORM THE PROVIDER OF THE ACTION THEY HAVE TAKEN.

 

I WILL BE UPLOADING THIS INFORMATION ONCE I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS WITH THE SITE TEAM. THIS HAS SERIOUS IMPLICATIONS FOR CRA'S AND ALSO FOR THE COURT CASE I HAVE ONGOING WITH EQUIFAX. THERE ENTIRE DEFENSE HAS JUST MELTED.

 

WE ARE ONLY DATA SUPPLIERS

THE CLAIMANT COULD HAVE RAISED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ICO

 

OPPPSSSSSS WELL LOOKS LIKE I DID AND GLAD OF IT TOO.

Reading & loving this.

 

Fair play & the very best of luck to you Sbfido, your actions could & hopefully will be the start of, a mini revolution in regards the to unlawful & blatant disregard for the law & the way they just make the rules up as they go along.

More than that though, it may make the CRA realize that they are not an extension of the banks (even though most of them have links with them) and the law is there for everyone to obey. Not to pick just the bits they can use to cover themselves!
