    • 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.

Just had a thought about a possible explanation for the huge increase in people found fit .

 

ATOS,report that the person is basically fit,doesn't matter how ill they are,they just report the claimant as fit.

 

They get paid for that fit claimant,but they ,ATOS ,know the claimant will appeal,and they know the appeal will be successful and the claimant will get their benefits reinstated.

 

ATOS know that the DWP will not deduct/ask for any money back ,so knowing this ,ATOS can ,if they wish , get that same claimant back to another medical within months of their last one,and again they report the same claimant fit for work,they get another payment ,claimant will appeal and will win and the DWP will again let ATOS keep monies they have or will get paid (based off of figures ATOS provide ).

 

ATOS have found a big loophole ,so they just rinse and repeat .

 

Now i don't know how ATOS get paid ,but tell me that isn't close to the truth ?

I have actually (in a round about way) stated that earlier on.

 

Basically, ATOS couldn't give A TOS!!!!

Anyway, I now have Atenolol as well as the Losartan and the AD's.

 

Oh well. Worse things happen at sea (or so my dad keeps telling me).:confused:

Do you know, we've been talking about your heart for so long, and it's only this morning I remembered I'm still waiting for my appointment for a heart scan. Maybe I should think of chasing it up... :razz:

Well, that's it really, I'm a medical marvel, so of course they want to investigate to see if they can use my miraculous status to fix the deficient ones (naming no names :razz:) :-D

 

 

 

 

I should have known better:roll:

Well, as expected I got zero points for my assessment with ATOS. I telephoned DWP as regards to ESA and I basically had murder with them. This has really upset me. There are questions on my report that have zero points, and I wasn't even asked the questions. I went with mental health issues (because I was unaware of my physical problems at the time), but he ignored everything I brought up about them.

 

I have also told this to the DWP who gave me 2 options. Re-apply for ESA (new claim), because of my physical problems that were not recorded before (which would also mean going to ATOS again). Or I could appeal against the decision. I have decided to go for the appeal because there were no questions regarding mental problems I feel are restricting the work I can do. He has put down that I have no problems interracting with strangers and the likes, but he didn't even ask a question regarding that. I however told him about ten times that I do have problems with that. Did he listen? No. He just carried on asking pointless questions about wether I could get my coat on or not. I also told them that I couldn't understand what he was saying most of the time, and I doubt that he could understand most of what I was saying.

 

They are sending the appeal form for me to fill in and I am going to hospital today to have a 24 hour heart monitor fitted (that is after I have been for my weekly GP appointment). When will the government realise that this ATOS is just a shambles. :mad:

Hello sod'em, I'm really sorry to hear that.

 

As you say though, you have a lot of ammunition against the assessment. I think appeal is the right way to go. Mental health problems are badly catered for at Atos, as we know, and anyone who hasn't suffered can think you're making it up because they can't x-ray you for it. That's how I felt, anyway.

 

I put a sticky on the forum that has helped two other people win at appeal to a tribunal and Erika helped me with the template. There's a link to the points system, so you can score yourself and see what you should have got.

 

Keep fighting, we're with you.

I know you half expected this bud. You know that the advice given on CAG will steer you straight and this is an area where I can only give moral support as I don't have a scooby about ATOS.

 

It always makes my blood boil when I think about people who don't come here and have to go through this sort of thing alone!

If in doubt, contact a qualified insured legal professional (or my wife... she knows EVERYTHING)

Because you were attacked id say you are suffering as well as psychically but also mentally , being attacked is a BIG thing ,someone close to me had 2 men go to his house and attack him to get him to keep quiet about an affair !! , and i know he suffered nightmares and like yourself found himself not wanting to go outdoors , he still lives in constant fear ,

im saying this because our minds are very strong and people just assume that someone has been attacked "oh thats terrible" and its forgotten about ,

but the person who gets attacked might suffer for years and years because of the attack , things like when you hear a loud band you will be jumpy (a lot more to a general fright) , panic attacks the list goes on and on here is a link i hope can help you , im so sorry to hear about all the things you have been through and more so that you kept it in because to me you tend to help others (like you said you hoped people have smiled through your other forum) and im glad you have plucked up the courage to say what you are going through ,

just a thought as you said they couldnt find out what was wrong with your blood pressure , do you get panicky when you have your blood pressure taken , i suffer panic attacks and when im at the dr,s etc and get my blood pressure taken its ALWAYS high , i thought maybe this may be your case , just a thought

my heart goes out to you and i pray they benefits see sense and help you rather than hassle you
