    • 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

im having problems with them too. on the 28th of feb i called up and due to me having problems with my computer. so they arranged for a visit on the Thursday 4th March. (4 days later, even though it says on there receipt they will be there in 2 days of you calling)

Techguy comes to my house and asks me what problems am i having with my computer? i asked him if he was not told and he said no! i told him it needs a new hard-drive and the recovering with the Packard Bell recovery discs. He change the hard drive and said he hasn't go the recovery discs with him and he has ordered me some and they will be with me in 5 days time. how can they arrange a repair and not tell the technician what need to be done? so i was not happy with them.

 

7 days later March 11th, still no discs! I called them back up explain i am waiting for discs that have been ordered, the guy said to me nothing has been ordered. he then said they just came back in stock that day and he has now ordered them and they will be with me in the next 5days. so i them asked him if i didnt call you today i would be sitting here waiting for them and they would never of came? he said im afraid so sorry, an that they have been ordered now.

 

6 days later March 17th, guess what, no discs!! Called again and said they were sent on 15th. i complained about it explain how they have taken the **** and i have been lied too etc and they was not interested.

 

Its now been 20 days since the original call making the appointment for the visits, an my computer is still no fully repaired. todays post has come and still no discs.

 

What is the best action to take now?

 

thanks,

Leon

today is the 21st day and i still have no discs. i am on the phone to them now and i have told them i am not happy and i want a replacement today. The lady on the phone is saying that the discs hasn't go anything to do with them and that they are sent straight from Packard bell. My argument is my computer still isnt fixed and my cover is taken out with you not Packard bell. Also when i spoke to the tech guy 8days ago he said they have just come back in stock and hes ordering it now. How is he able to see what Packard bell have in stock?? so someone is BULL****TING me :mad:

 

it shouldnt matter if the discs come from someone else does it?

 

oh and ive been on hold for 10minz now

im guessing that you didn't make the recovery disks when you brought the pc then?

 

the manufatures will normally charge you for sending the disks out because you are told coutless times by the computer when you turn it on, proberly by the sales staff when you buy it and by the litrature in the box

To be honest I'm very supprised they're sending you disks out at all.

 

As Auad02 says, usualy your computer either comes with a set, or will prompt you to write a set whenever you boot the computer and will keep prompting you until you tell it not to. Most manufactorers/retailers provide this facility so you have something to fall back on in the event of hard-drive failure, and will usualy charge you for disks in the event you failed to make your own or lost them before the hard-drive broke.

 

Some people argue that had the hard drive not been faulty in the first place then you would never have lost the software to begin with, making the retailer liable for it's replacement. Unfortunately this entire argument is a massive grey area, and one we've discussed at length on these boards before.

 

Suffice to say, your best bet is to just keep chasing it up, relentlessly. Also if it goes over 21 days try quoting the 21 day repair or replace rule.
