    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because therte was still £69 owing, so I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle.   However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account 106985089 has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, so I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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 there.

 

A while ago my laptop developed a fault in that it would continually boot then shut down and restart....over and over. I tried all avenues to restore it to normal but wound up taking it to a local independent computer store to get them to look at it. They reinstalled all the software and apparently got it all up and running, however having paid for their service (£45) and taking it home, on the very first boot there was simply no display - the screen didn't work! This being a completely unrelated problem to the one it went in for, I took it back about 3 weeks ago. They believe there is a problem with an 'invertor' or something (apparently this illuminates the screen) and it needs a new one. I have rung them three times since only to be told that they are struggling to obtain a replacement for my machine, claiming it is too old (?! - it has windows vista, so not that old!). They continue to endeavour to locate this part. I have said I would be in touch again this coming week for an update. I am being very patient.

 

Problem is, where do I stand if they cannot find this part? Are they obligated to sort this one way or another? I have not been at all confrontational and am giving them plenty of time, however I have a feeling I will have a rocky road ahead. This problem occurred whilst in their care, so do they have an obligation to fix it or replace it with an equivalent? Just trying to sound out what people think before it kicks off (which I fully expect might happen!)

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Steven.

As commercial links are not permitted on here, I have sent you by pm a link to a site that does a lot of laptop parts including 'invertors' and the most requested part for any laptop, power sockets.

 

You can ask them yourself if they have one for your model and if yes, then pass it on to your repairer. They are a sod to fit so not a lot will do it plumping to replace the whole screen instead.

invertors being a sod to fit????

 

your thinking backlight, which is nearly impossible to replace without replacing the screen

 

the invertor is easy to fit, its a seperate board sitting just under the screen, ussually only 4 screws on the plastic suround of the screen, then max of 2 screws in the invertor

ok sorry thats me jumping the gun....

 

ussually it about a 50/50 chance of backlight or invertor, though its amazing how invertors can still work sometimes worst ive seen is one that had been bent that much that it had cracked in the middle then taped back togeather, was still working, making a buzzing noise but still working.

 

was one of the things i insisted the person had replaced
