    • 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.

The 40th anniversary of the Moon landings gave new impetus to the conspiracy theorists who maintain that the Apollo programme was a hoax. Nasa responded: “Conspiracy theories are always difficult to refute because of the impossibility of proving a negative.”

That statement is a nice instance of the correct use of “refute”. To refute a proposition means that you disprove it. Nasa rightly observes that a conspiracy theory is unfalsifiable. That makes it unlike a scientific theory, which advances hypotheses that can be tested. Scientists continually try to refute theories to arrive at better explanations. Conspiracy theorists do the opposite: they explain conflicting data by positing an even wider conspiracy than the one they had first thought of.

If you don’t offer disproof of a charge then you can’t be refuting it. When Greater Manchester Police were accused this month of collusion in the torture of a member of al-Qaeda, a spokesman declared: “We are confident in the behaviour of our officers and we refute any allegations of impropriety.” No, they didn’t: they merely said that the allegations were false. That was not refuting the charges but denying them. Refuting them was what the police wished to do but had not yet done.

The police are not the worst public-service abusers of “refute”. A long dispute about admissions data for an academy recently drew this sharp comment from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE): “It’s completely untrue that we turned a blind eye to incorrect data returns from London Metropolitan University. We also refute the fact that there was any change in attitude by HEFCE.”

The HEFCE spokesman managed to confuse not only deny and refute, but also (and bizarrely) “allegation” and “fact”. You can't refute a fact because, by definition, a fact is true. To deny something while inadvertently describing it as true is a defence of some incompetence.

Occasionally a writer will be aware that refute and deny mean different things but not be familiar with the exact distinction. There is a temptation then to use “rebut” in the sense of “deny”. It should always be resisted. To rebut a charge means to offer detailed evidence against it. In a debate, one side will rebut the argument presented by the other. If it merely denies the argument, then there won’t be much of a debate. If it refutes the argument, then it will have won the debate.

I've been looking over my credit file, regarding this case.

 

Lowell have accessed my credit file 9 times this year, unrecorded. :eek:

 

What concerns me is that both these accounts are showing up as in default.

 

Name: MR

Address:

Date of birth:

Company name: LOWELL PORTFOLIO I LTD

Account type: Credit card / Store card

Started: 02/01/1996

Default Balance: £2,567

Current Balance: £2,567

 

Defaulted On: 18/11/2004

File Updated for the Period to: 01/03/2009

Status history:

[] brackets indicate most recent months status [ 8 ] What's this?

Note: A defaulted account is removed from your report after six years whether or not you have paid the debt in full. If you have paid some of the debt off, the balance should show how much you still owe.

I have CCA'd them, but have received nothing yet; tic toc tic toc.......

 

How they were defaulted in 2004 is a mystery, as I've had no involvement with Co-Op (cards issuer) since before 2002.

 

If they can't find any agreements, I presume they both go into dispute....?

 

The SD has been set aside (no cheque yet though, grrr). Tic Toc Tic Toc....

 

What do I have to do though to get these records removed from my file?

 

Thanks in advance

 

HF

 

As an aside, it seems all that is said about CRAs divulging info is true; since accessing my file, I've had a demand from Wescot and one from Rockwell for 2 other alleged amounts, neither of which are on my credit file, and for which I have no records. :confused:

 

Bring it on...... :lol:

Just an update with, well, nothing to tell. :(

 

Lowell have 49 hours and fifty minutes left to pay costs (by 4pm, Thursday August 20th).

 

Tic Toc Tic Toc.

 

The CCA request letter I sent was dated August 1st, posted (recorded) on the 3rd, delivered on the 4th. When did the clock start ticking on that, and what is the deadline date therefore?

 

Tic Toc Tic Toc.

 

I'd like to hit the ground running with this if either of the deadlines is missed. I'd appreciate some pointers as to what I should be preparing for next.

 

Many thanks

1130 am, Thursday 20th August.

 

The Postman has been, but no CCA or Cheque from Lowell.

 

Going to Court at 4.01pm this afternoon, without fail, to enforce the judgement.

 

Is that JC or AB at the beginning.......? :D

 

Stop ! Oh yes, wait a minute Mister Postman

 

Wait Mister Postman

 

Please Mister Postman, look and see

 

If there's a CCA or cheque for me

 

(Please, Please Mister Postman)

Why's it takin' such a long time

For me to hear from those lowlifes of mine

 

There must be some word today

From that DCA, so far away

Please Mister Postman, look and see

If there's a CCA or Cheque for me

 

I've been standin' here waitin' Mister Postman

For over two weeks

For just a Cheque or "sorry" letter

Sayin' what they did was so wrong to me

 

 

Mister Postman, look and see

If Andy B or Jimmy C loves me

Why's it takin' such a long time

For me to hear from those boys of mine

 

So many days you passed me by

See the expectation in my eyes

You didn't stop to make me feel better

By leavin' me a cheque or Hamptons letter

 

 

Mister Postman, look and see

If there's a CCA or Cheque for me

(Please, Please Mister Postman)

Why's it takin' such a long time

 

Why don't you check it and see one more time for me, you gotta

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

Wait a minute

(Mister Postman)

Mister Postman, look and see

 

C'mon deliver their letter, the sooner the better (well, by 4pm this afternoon at the latest)

Mister Postman

Court office hours are 1000 - 1600, so closed on arrival. :|

 

Will be there for 1000 tomorrow, though the postscript to the OFT has been posted today.

Hmph

 

Still nothing arrived in the post.

 

I've been back to the C. Court to enquire what options I have to enforce the judgement, but left not much wiser.

 

First, it's apparently very rare for costs to be awarded in Set Asides :rolleyes:, and secondly, it's apparently now complicated because the Statutory Demand had one case number, and any action to enforce the judgement will need a civil case number.....? :confused:

 

I've come away somewhat deflated, with just forms EX321 "I have a judgement but the defendant hasn't paid"

http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/news/forms/docs/ex321_0406.pdf

 

and Court Fees booklet EX50.

 

I've called Community Legal Advice, but I'm ineligible for their services. :evil:

 

Is there anyone knowledgeable on these matters who might be able to steer me in the right direction, please?
