    • 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.

I hope this is in the right place. I have an account with Fashion World which I have kept up to date, but for the last few months I've not been able to make payments as I've had other, priority, debts to pay. I've now been contacted by Reliable Collections and by Fashion World themselves, who are phoning constantly. I can't phone them back as I'm deaf and use typetalk.

 

Anyway, have sorted the finances now and I have made a payment today which I thought cleared the balance, although the online statement is very unclear with regards to the actual balance. Looking at my statement, it now appears that in addition to interest (which I don't dispute, obviously) administration charges of £12 each have been added to my account - twice on the 20th July and twice on 20th June. Does anyone know why they might have added two lots of charges and, most importnatly, how I might claim them back?? I have no problem paying for clothes I have received and for post and packing, and I don't have an issue even if the charges were applied once, but twice? Unfair.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

This company and others associated with it add £12 fee for letters and or extra statements.

 

I did write and ask if these could be removed because I was unable to correspond at the time as I was in hospital and they did actually refund the charges.

 

What you should have done was to contact them (in writing) and said you willl clear the account, but only if they refunded the charges first. - perhaps it is not too late, it is worth a try.

OK, thanks for your advice everyone. I have just logged back in to my online account and it suggests there is still a balance outstanding of just over £50 - but obviously £48 of this is charges!!! Will write to them as if I were claiming bank charges and see where I get!

Do not sound too aggresive with them, try the sympathetic approach first and just point out the reasons for not being able to communicate with them. Much better to have their sympathy than to go straight in all guns blazing with a threat of Court Action to regain your costs, that is always your second choice of actions.

BEWARE if Reliable Collections offer to 'arrange' a payment plan - they will charge you up to £99 for the privilege! I learnt this to my cost but, as htey haven't produce enforceable CCA's they can whistle for their money until they do! I would suggest putting in a CCA request or Subject Access Request ASAP to see exactly where you stand with this bunch of robbers.

  • 2 weeks later...

Does anyone recognise this number:

 

0114 201 1370

 

It's called me fairly regularly for the last few days but while I've been at work so unable to take the call. Left no message. I've googled it to no avail. Any ideas who it might be?

I think 0114 is the dialling code for Sheffield?...

 

 

Yes it is, but 201 1370 is not a usual Sheffield number. They don't usually start 20

Hmmm... I had another missed call from them just before 9 but I was on the phone to someone else. I'm going to slip out of the office and answer when they call tomorrow - the suspense is killing me!! :D

Have you tried ringing BT directory enquiries, saying your having difficulty getting this number to work, that your trying to ring the florists to cancel an order for your daughter in laws birthday, guaranteed to find out who it is then, if you play your cards right!;)

Right, mystery solved! It's Fashion World trying to flog some purchase protection insurance. I sent him away with a flea in his ear for calling at all times of day and night and not leaving a message.

"FASHION WORLD" Is he trying to say your stuck in the 80's or something?:p

 

Have you updated 'who calls me'?

 

Boo;) (the original 80's throwback)
