    • 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?

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,

 

This is all very new to me. My girlfriend recommended i try this so here we go.

Last months statement showed i owed just over £300 in charges!! :shock: I don't know where a lot of that has come from. I did speak to head office the month before and they did waiver 2 charges that was on the previous statement but told me that because this was the first time i had asked, i would find it hard if it happened again!! Cheeky B*******s.

Unfortunately this started going wrong when i changed jobs and in a space of 5 months, 3 times, twice with old employer and once with new one, i was paid late thus missing mortage payments and DD's. It's because of them, that, i keep missing DD's now because of the vicious circle of charaging then charging again for missing the chargers!! :mad:

I've banked with them for approx. 20yrs and you just feel it's not the customer that matters anymore but their back pockets, what with bonuses and fat pay rises etc. Arrrh :mad:

 

Anyway, i'm gonna make a stand along with the rest of you and give it a go in reclaiming back those fees/chargers.

 

Starting with today, I'm going to send the Preliminary letter and see what happens. Good luck to everyone else on their missions! :)

Hey closey,

I've changed my mind on sending the prem letter and instead gonna send the Data Prot Act letter first. Want to make sure i get the right figures to try and reclaim. Is that wise?

Also where do i send letter? Is it head office (don't know the address) or the branch thats on statement?

Thanks

Nick

Hi Nick - if you don't know the exact figure for the charges over the last 6 years then send a DPA request + £10. Make sure you send it recorded delivery ... the address of the DPA team is on a sticky at the top of this thread.

 

Good luck and keep us updated :)

Thanks Dolly.

By the way, i think someone else asked you a question about you writing to your mortgage company but i just want to ask again in case i was dreaming it, but are you trying your luck in claiming back redemp charges or missed payment charges?

Both - am claiming £390 for missed payment fees from Halifax and an ERC. No reply from either as yet! (Both are old mortgages, not my current one)

  • 7 months later...

Ok, so alot of time has passed by since i started this thread and after much panic and worry i've finally got to the stage where i've sent of my claim form to the county courts to reclaim my charges.

 

History so far:

Perlimary Letter sent 18th December 06:

reply received 28th Dec 06 stating no refund.

LBA letter sent 7th January 07:

response letter received 12th January with original letter saying regret for me not receiving original letter!? which i did.

Wasn't sure what to do at that point so spent a bit of time pondering what to do.

Claim Form handed in to County Court on 8th March 07:

Letter received 19th March acknowledging service has been filed and defendant indicating an intention to defend all of the claim.

 

What happens now? Does this mean Nationwide are going to take it all the way and take me to court? I'm worried! Help :confused:

Hi Nick,

 

Don't worry, they will probably pay up. Their intention to defend is bog standard. Based on my and others experience recently, the defence doesn't come until they've paid you. But they are unpredictable so read up on the next stage - Allocation Questionnaire just in case. I've got my fingers crossed for you - hopefully you won't need it. Keep an on your account for mystery 'corrections'. Mine appeared about 3 weeks after my claim was acknowledged.

We all feel like that at some stage. It seems to be cases where people are claiming contractual interest thatthey are disputing. Which are you claiming? I claimed the 8% statutory interest.

I've claimed the overdraft interest they charged. Chargers were £2,307.50 Interest chargers were £494.46. Court cost £120

Total: £2,921.96

At the end of the day i've started now so i'll see it out, but i guess i'm feeling the same as everyone else when they get going, that it's daunting!

Oh, i've just gone online to check my account and it's disappeared! I've not logged on since September last yr and to be honest forgot i had internet banking :o so yea, my flexaccount has gone!? my other little accounts are there but not the important one to see if the money has appeared.

I haven't closed the account only just stopped all the DD's and transferred them to the new account i opened last year when i started all this.

How strange :confused:

Wow Nick, now I see what you mean about your luck. :p I guess you'll be ringing them first thing? Also, try your card at a cashpoint. I can just imagine some 'trainee' that they've taken on to help with the backlog of claims wiping all the flex accounts of the NW server lol. Phew! Just checked mine and it's still there. Forget that last comment.

 

Let us know how you get on.

Well, as far as i'm aware, still no letter or money. By my workings out, they have until the 14th April, next Thursday else NW will lose by default.

 

I called into my local branch to tell them about my card being captured and my account disappearing of the online site and they tell me it's because my acc is in with the collections dept. They have issued me with a new card but only to be used in the branch to check my balance.

 

I forgot to put on my claim form a request that i want the refund in chq form! I guess, if and when they pay, they will credit my acc, which is overdrawn at present, so part of the money will clear my overdraft.

 

So still waiting.
