    • 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.

Hi All,

 

Nearly fell off my chair this afternoon, when i received a statement from Welcome Finance.

Opened it and did fall off my chair, what the hell am i paying for? i note the word "Capitalisation" and a £46.xx amount debited every month i was paying £69.73 a month and they've been taking these amounts for a while (so effectively i've only been paying £20 or so every month!!) this will take my entire life to pay off! i've attached it if any one wants to have a look, my missus wants me to get an IVA and try and get some written off and the interest frozen, but i don't know, i want to get a subject access request and find out everything and then do battle with them as i think this is very unfair.

The Capitalisation is the interest! At the beginning of a loan you pay more interest than capital. The interest (Capitalisation) reduces each month.

 

See the attachment for how your loan will run down from month 1 to month 120!!

P.S. It won;t take you entire life to pay off but 120 months as per the credit agreement!! unless of course you fall into arrears!!!

why have you started paying £94

 

they cant charge you £10 for a phone call see penalty charges etc ask the guys on here about how best to get these back. Is your agreement legit as welcome have a habit of mucking it up.

 

I up'ed my repayments after a phone call, i know i shouldn't have done, they charged me for 2 non-existent phone calls, they've had no call to ring me as i haven't been in arrears for over a year, and they've been cleared, and i pay monthly by direct debit, i want these charges back, should i get a subject access request and see what they've got on me??

 

any advice, i'm a little upset by all this.

i would post your agreements to someone on this site postggj is good & a few others know some stuff if you post some questions one of the "experts" will be along soon enough. How many times have you been in arrears with them & have you had any calls / failed direct debits

 

I would say the best thing is to get the contract looked at do you have the original copies ? if not then you can send a CCA request by recorded delivery & send a £1 postal order with it.

 

I am not great with the legal stuff but i am learning

 

hope i can help you

 

regards

I was in arrears with them quite a bit early on in the agreement but i think i'm clear, but i may have also had 1 failed direct debit, but this is all historical i've been making regular payments on time for the last 2 years. no calls except asking me if i can pay more (that's noly happened recently) i might be ablr to lay my hands on the original agreement, but, and this is where it gets sticky, it's one of those magical 'secured-on-property-then-when-account-holder-sells-property-turn-it-unsecured!! jobs. i will update when i have the papers if not i'll have to request them.

Phil,

 

I had a loan secured on my property, the loan was taken in 2005, however due to financial problems I had to sell the property it was secured on with Welcomes permission but they never chenged the loan agreement, haven't signed a new one payments haven't changed, absolutely nothing has changed except I no longer own a property and the loan is no longer secured on anything.

 

The only thing that allowed me to do this was they got a lump sum payment when I sold the house, and just to confirm there was negative equity in the property and I am still paying a lower amount which has been agreed but they are harrassing for original payments.

 

Don't let the fact that it is secured stop you from doing anything!!!
