    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

Brilliant Herbie well done...

 

 

Just goes to show our Ken Maynard - (Chief exec of Cabot for those who haven't had the pleasure) - Do as you are told!!....get the agreements right, abide by the law and you'll STOP MAKING THOSE £18 Million Swing Losses year on year :D:D

 

 

There's plenty more Herbies where he came from and they are being lined up for you....:p

 

with love

Great news...was the judge CCA savvy or did you have to present case law around the PT being with in the four corners of the agreement or was the judge aware of this?

 

 

He was up on this CCA lark a Young Judge for a change, very professional,helpful had plenty of patience, as you would expect a Judge to be, The Cabot side were gutted big time :D.

Only now is it sinking in how much we have saved by winning, with costs and they would have loaded them we were looking at £13000 in total.

Maybe the Cabot barrister was on a no win no fee lol

Great to see another win. Congratulations.

Just read the whole thread. I always add the 'won' cases to my subscribed threads to remind me why I should carry on fighting.

It would probably be useful to see how you presented your defence in the end if possible, as I believe it went from fairly basic to quite complicated and back to quite straightforward again!

I'm sure this would be of use to others.

Well done Herbie - welcome to the CFC (Cabot Fan Club). Message to Cabot and silly Morgans - don't bring cases that you don't have the correct papers for through the courts. It's vexatious and bullying and your feeble attempts at attempting to frighten the consumer just aren't working any more.

Sorry if you don't have any extra cash for your fancy swimming pool or a new Aston Martin but your profits are sinking like the Titantic and all the fancy barristers in the world can't turn a dodgy, unlawful actions into a winner.

 

Herbie it would be worthwhile sending a letter of complaint to the Solicitors Regulation Authority about Piers Morgan and Glenn Crawford. Both solicitors - Morgan just joined Cabot to head up Morgan's solicitors and Crawford is one of the founders and directors of this unsavoury operation. BTW if you do complain the name of the solcitors company is not Morgans but Cabot Financial - check with the Law Society.

You gotta be kiddin? :p

No Andrew actually I am not. I have been a member on here for a while and there are a lot of companies referred to by nicknames and the use of abbreviations for things is commonplace eg "DN" default notice, someone coming on here for the first time may well not understand a lot of the things on here. I genuinly have never heard of Cabot or know what they do but I will google it anyway.

I think anyone who has dealing with Cabot will know who (and what) they are, DB. If you haven't, then probably not.

 

I haven't, neither, (well, not yet, anyway :mad:) and I was as in the dark as you were until I started reading threads relating to them.

 

I agree with the abbreviations. It can get confusing. I certainly try to avoid them, or, at least, make sure they are referenced in full someone in my posts, or the posts that come before them. If you don't, you just get questions about what they mean anyway.

 

Maybe a list of generic abbreviations is in order? Unless it already exists and I've struggled on all this time without knowing :eek:

My apologies then DB, we've had so many thousands on here who have experienced the rough end of the debt collectors and the shennanigans of this company that I tend to take it for granted everyone would know on CAG who they are.

 

The difference between Debt Collection agencies and Cabot is that Cabot, like 1st Credit and a number of others are what they refer to as 'Debt Purchasers'. cabot are part of the Citi Financial empire now and they go and buy debt from the major card companies and banks for on average between 8 and 12p in the £ (although that's rising) then come after the likes of us for the full outstanding balance + interest and they use ' questionable' tactics to achieve their aim. Thanks to the synergy of this forum and the efforts of Caggers and of a number of others like we began in the Cabot Fan Club, Cabot have gone from making nearly £10 million profits in 2006/2007 to a loss of £6.7 million once we all started making them abide by the law. Shows what consumer pressure can drum up and the effect it has on these organisations and a swing in profit/loss of some 17-18 million is not to be sneezed at as a success rate.

 

If you have an hour I could go on, but there's plenty to familiarise yourself with if you want to know more on the forum...Just Google it or search...;)

No problem Andrew and thanks for the information. I am currently going through the process of getting a number of cards dealt with and only Barclaycard (Mercers) and Egg (Capital Collections) have given me real grief so far but nothing I can't handle. From my limited experience of this Mercers appear to be a bunch of **EDITED**, **EDITED** **EDITED** and if Cabot are anything like I am glad they are suffering, well done everyone!
