    • and it will be also now written off under age related criteria anyway.
    • @dx100ukThanks for this! I'm still not clear if I'm facing more than 6 points on my license though. Can you explain any further please? When I accept the 2nd speeding ticket, will they just charge me £100 and 3 points, or will they be more severe consequences since that offense took place the following day of the 1st offense? Similarly, when I accept the 3rd offense, will they look at my record or just charge me with the £100 fine and 3 points? @Man in the middleI've been searching the forum and you seem very knowledgeable. Would you mind giving a look at my query please? Thanks in advance!!
    • Yes of course. That's why it says cc:: BIg Motoring World at the bottom. Don't imagine that this solves the issue. It doesn't. He not have to force the finance company and big motoring world to accept the rejection to give your money back. I suggest that you get the letter off tomorrow. And let us know what you hear but on Friday you should then send a threat to the finance company.   Have a look what I have said here about your options and read the whole thread as well.  
    • Been perusing the actual figures on the polls above wondering where the '16% claimed for deform comes from? I understand that there are 'weighted' end results based on secret calculations ...   Probably going to repeat this later, but remember that the ukip/brexit/reform/deform party has ALWAYS had poll speculation FAR better than their actual  performance at elections - by large margins. SO: The labor and Tory votes come largely from simply the people who say they will vote for them - sorted Lab 43% Tory 20%, with maybe another small 1-2% coming from the weightings of the 'not sures' Greens largely get what is declared from 'other' , although with another declared green bit from the 'pressed' question   So as the share of the voting displayed in 'other' granted to reform/deform is around 11%, where does the '16% too often being reported come from? Seems that reform has been granted as beneficiary of effectively ALL the don't knows and wont says, who when pressed didn't actually declare for someone else ... effectively adding 40%+ to their reported polling % - rather strange given their consistent under-performance compared to polling - or perhaps that is the cause of the higher rating eh?   Now I admit the possibility (probability?) of wingers being ashamed of declaring their support for the yuckey lemon end of the spectrum ... but surely  that should affect the 'Torys as well? Maybe the statisticians have simply weighted in that deform wingers are simply more likely to lie?   But - without 'weightings' and assumptions that faragits will get everything that isnt declared as a definite and unequivocal 'not that Piers Morgan' - reform is on around 11% it seems.   Add to that the history of polling a lot less than the hype - and the simple fact that faragit wingers seem to be spread across the country (presumably skulking in their moms spare room despite being 45+) and greens and lib dems seem to be community minded - I think two seats will be an epic result for farage. Hardly the opposition - far more raving wingnut party.   and importantly - Has farage got a home in clacton yet?

    • 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

 

I was wondering if you could help me. My boyfriend and I are about to apply for a mortgage so i checked my credit report and a recent entry has been added. It relates to a Barclays loan showing as a default. I have previously requested a copy of a signed CCA which they did not provide. It is detailed in the link below:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/barclays-bank/216812-barclays-resolve-loan-2.html

 

I am now in the position where i have the account suddenly turn up on my credit report (previously this account had never been reported to a CRA. I've emailed Experian to ask them to remove it but just wondered if anyone has any suggestions, as i'd like to try and resolve this as soon as possible so i can get a mortgage.

 

Can i challenge Barclays on data protection grounds as opposed to unenforceability or is the only option to clear the debt somehow and have it showing as settled? Does a settled default account look bad to lenders? All other accounts on my record are perfect with not so much as a late payment.

 

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

From what I understand and I'm pretty sure others can back me up on this. Defaults remain on your credit file for 6 years regardless of them being marked as satisfied. Unfortunately the very presence of a default on your credit file has substanial negative effects on your score for the duration of it being on your file.

 

The only hope you have is writing to Barclays to ask them to remove it but you will have to have valid grounds for them to do so. The fact they cant produce a CCA maybe an option. But dont expect any quick fix. It can take many months to force a company to remove a default from your file. All I can advice is be persistant and have a read of this link http://www.learnmoney.co.uk/credit-file/remove_default_notice.html

Debtsucks is right it will stay for 6 years, while a settled default is better than an unpaid one lenders view them exactly the same.

 

Was it a previous loan you had or something?

Yeah it was a loan. Can I argue that the default was placed in error because my account was in dispute at the time? I know they don't have a copy of my original credit agreement but all they do is suggest I contact FOS. Will this do anything useful? They've told me they would only remove the default if it was put on in error. What can I do next?

Did you actually have a dispute in?

 

The following is taken from the lending code but only refers to the amount been owed been disputed, not disputed in general

 

35. Subscribers can give CRAs default information about a customer’s debts if:

• the customer has fallen behind with their payments

• the amount owed is not being disputed by the customer; and

• the customer has not made a proposal that satisfies the subscriber for repaying the debt following the subscriber’s formal demand

 

As for the CCA request, they cannot enforce the debt unless they take you to court but can record it with the CRA's and carry out collection activity if they wish.

 

I personally would start by SAR them which should include the agreement and alleged default notice.

Thanks James, that's helpful.

 

I had a dispute in the fact that i requested a signed agreement and they would not provide one other than a blank one.

 

The CRA have come back to me today saying that Barclays will not remove the default. Barclays have also come back to me themselves following my offer of full & final settlement on the proviso that they remove the default and have suggested that they would only do so if it was added in error. Can i challenge it on me not receiving the default notice? Or if they provide proof it was sent, is that considered proof that i received it?

 

Or can i make a complaint to the information commissioners office, following the subject access request, that they do not have the right to process my data in such a way?

 

Just wondering what the next step is after the SAR?

 

Your help would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

With regards to the CCA they are allowed to send you a copy of an agreement as long as it contains the same terms and conditions as the original. They have fulfilled their request by sending you this.

 

Like i said they cannot enforce the agreement unless they take you to court but can still register info with the CRA's.

 

The SAR will show everything they have on you and should include the default notice. If not you need to ask them where it as and request they send you a copy.

 

I have read various posts that courts have accepted templates of default notices and records of them been sent as proof but i disagree with this as you cannot identify if the default is perscribed correctly. Anyone can say they have sent something if there is no proof otherwise. I do not beleive the courts should accept hear say.

 

Try the SAR then take it from there. There is no quick fix and it takes time but can be worth it in the long run.

They didn't register the account with any CRA. However, once they issued the default, the account suddenly registered with experianlink3.gif.

 

I've just had a thought though. The account numbers don't match up. The original account number is now different to the one listed on the default notice. AND a different sort code. Is this relevant?

Yeah as it has to be exact.

 

The account they have issued a default on needs to be the account noted on the notice.

Simply ask them which account the default notice refers to as it clearly is not yours.

 

See how they answer that!

I would give it a go ask them to explain which account the default notice refers to as it clearly is not yours.

 

The incorrect details make the default notice ineligible and it should not be on your credit file.

Need to write along the lines of:

 

I am writing with regards to the default entry you have placed on my credit file dated xxxx and the default notice dated xxxx.

 

Please confirm which account the one listed on the notice refers to as i am unable to match it any of my accounts.

 

I would also like to refer to the 4th principle of the Data Protection Act that personal data shall be accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date.

As this default notice does not relate to any account i have had with Barclays you are in breach of the Data Protection Act by adding the entry to my credit file.

 

Please provide me with a full explanation and remove this entry from my file within the next 14 days otherwise i will issue proceedings against you for breach of the Data Protection Act.

 

Something along those lines. Dont expect instant action from them but its a start and they are going to have to explain why the account number on the notice does not relate to any of your accounts.

I was thinking i might send the SAR first, to see if they have a copy of the default before i say that i have one? What do you think?

 

Won't they just remove it and then reissue a default? Or do you think i should send the above letter first?

I would subject access request them get all the information you need on them but you can still send the letter aswell as the bottom line is it is incorrect and shouldnt be placed on your file.

 

I beleive they can re-issue a correct notice if it is within a certain time period but if they did this just pay off the outstanding balance if you can within the period they give you. Then the matter would be resolved and your credit file clear.

Not really it will have been on the application form but it does not matter whether notice was given or consent obtained when it comes to registering default information.

  • 2 weeks later...

I've received information back from Barclays following my SAR. I've received:

 

8 Fiched sheets of figures relating to the account from Jun 05 - Oct 08 (At the bottom of this it states account closed and the balance shows zero. It says this exactly "STMT Produced 13 Oct 08, Reason - Account Closed, STMT SHTS 00007 to 00007,Central 2nd Cl, STMT Addr - As per a/c heading")

 

A blank 'form of agreement' as shown earlier in the thread

 

AND Statement information relating to the account number i don't recognise.

 

It looks like that at some point in Oct 08, they decided to change my account number and sort code without telling me. I also sent the letter suggested above about the account numbers not matching up. I sent this to the data exceptions team. They sent me a letter stating that they could not deal with my case and referred it to retail banking customer services (who have since said it will take until at least 1st June to get back to me, can they do that if i asked them to remove the data from my report within 14 days?)

 

But that's all that was sent. Shouldn't they have sent me more than this? Like a copy of the supposed default? Notes on the computer systems that they hold about me, etc?

 

Any suggestions about next steps?
