    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.
    • did you submit your directions

    • 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 have just made an audit of my Experian Credit file and was shocked to see that AGP Admiral Bell Diamond Elephant had searched my credit file.

I had not contacted this firm but my details must have been passed to them after I had searched on Confused.Com for Car Insurance!!!

 

Not on is it but apparently this is happening to many...EEK

If so then they should only be able to see your current address details and not the whole of your file, this is for verification of your address details only.

Can someone in the know please clarify this for me. If you use a comparison website does this mean that any company listed with them can then access your credit file? The link in post 3 implies that if you apply for motor insurance any company listed on that site, even one that doesn't supply the product can do so.

I must confess ive never used a price comparison site, so don't know what their T&Cs are, However I would imagine that the price comparison site can not accsess account or other info on your credit file or share it without you express permission.

 

As I understand it, the only info they should have accsess to is your age and address details and should show as an unrecorded enquiry.

I contacted experian and asked them to query it for me. They wrote back to me advising i write to a certain address i did and the marker was removed. I phoned AA for a home content insurance quote.

  • 1 year later...

I have just checked my experian report after getting turned down for a loan despite an excellent credit history. AGP via confused.com have searched my file 29 times!!

I am told I will have to send a NOC to all three credit ref agencies!! Why should I have to do this when I asked for an insurance quote for a car? instead they have wrecked my credit history for 6 months, never ever go through a comparison web site is all I can say!

If you get qoutes through comparison sites for insurance of any sort you should expect them to

check on identity and Gain and CFAS entries and CCJ's especially if you request terms for monthly payments

the more you access the companies sites the more searches titled insurance quotations you will get,

they HAVE NO IMPACT on credit scores which are not seen by lenders anyway.who everyou have applied to for credit will use their own in house evaluation on your credit worthiness base on the credit flle and their own process the score irrelevant.

Dear Brigadier,

 

Yes I do expect them to check my address, no claims, driving record and so on, however, not to allow 29 credit searches. THIS DOES AFFECT MY CREDIT SCORE 100% due to the number of searches my score dropped from 989 to 311 which is VERY GOOD to "EXTREMELY POOR" bottom 11% in the UK. My credit score would have allowed me a mortgage until I got a quote through confused.com, I have mailed them asking who I should start litigation against for destroying my financial credibilty of which I am very very proud (or was until it was ruined).

ID and Qutation searches by insurance companies have no impact on credit rating, the

potential lenders DO NOT see your credit score, it is for your guidance only.

Every year when I renew insurances I get checks it has made no difference at all.

This confirmed in writing fom the CRA.s

Not alway true

If the Insurance is using a credit provider to pay your premium up front and you are repaying the provider, a cds loan

section 12 of the act then the search will be for credit purpopses and leave a footprint on your file. It is as wel to dheck first.

The reference is to quotations for insurance prior to application not an application to pay by instalments.
