    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

The fact I've sourced a loan from a high finance company means I've been a bad lad yes and yes I did miss some early payments. I got sick of their contact and now I pay everything which means going without some

luxuries that others deem their standard living costs like a car, smoking, socializing & having children. I'm not saying you shouldn't (not you essexboy) but at some stage we have to take responsability for our application for monies we can no longer afford to pay bag whilst still enjoying the luxuries listed above

 

I know gonna get lynched for these posts as this is a collection of dissatisfied customers but I can't be the only one that gets sick of their contact and chose to do something about it - to pay as agreed when I took out my loan (and with ppi, just in case I got ill)

 

if you have fallen on hard times, then why cant other

 

i have heard on here people who have had illnesses of now fault of their own

 

so why cannot welcome be more accommodating and not make people resign new agreements that extend their liabilities for longer

 

i suppose this is to help them

Essex boy - can you pls show my post where I have said welcome finance are great? That kind of post shows me that your not interested in a discussion, you have an axe to grind and will make stuff up to further your arguments. Trying to put my points forward in regards to over extending amd your posting rubbish like that

great to see you were focused on the fact i said you are saying welcome are great i was mereley pointing out that welcome finance does not always act in a fair and proper manner towards thier customers. good or bad

 

i have spent many hours reading peaople's threads that have a genuine complaint and for you to dismiss people who have /could of suffered genuine hardship due to no fault of their own is disrespectful

 

as for my axe to grind, it will go through the court and please note it is not welcome initiating procedures

Hi beyond hope

 

how long was your loan for? So they charge you (& everyone) £120 per year for texts? No matter if your in arrears or not? I'm a skeptic by default and won't believe anything that sounds outrangeous without some kind of proof (like religion)

 

If you can scan your terms & conditions stating they charge £120 per year, every year for the duration of the loan then not only will I sincerly apologise, but I will also personally write to the FSA

 

This is where you misunderstand they dont treat everyone the same so no they dont charge everyone £120 a year and surprisingly its not in their terms and condition although it does state phone calls are although no reference as to what these may be for :rolleyes: The loan was over 3 years, the situation is very different with it now but im referring to a time where it was on DD and paid every month without fail. If you feel my claims are outrageous please please have a read of the threads in this forum and just look at the amounts of charges added onto peoples accounts without their knowledge, I have in writing from them and I quote 'incorrectly applied to your account' is this a fair way to treat customers? Just like reference to forged signatures doesnt directly relate to my case these are occurances that have happened more than once and have been discussed here.

I should bail out of this whilst the going is still good. I bet I'm the only person that has ever come on here and dare air my veiws that are not the general consensus.

 

I have no agenda, I'm a customer of banks & financial institutions as you are. Guess the difference is I'm taking some form of responsibility by admitting I was at fault to allow myself to be charged high interest through my actions. My father wouldn't have done it and that's because he comes from an era of you can't have what you can't afford. If we still had that old fashioned opinion this forum prolly wouldn't exist

 

good night all. Hope I haven't offended anyone cos it's wasn't my intention

You arent the first but may very well be the first without a hidden agenda :) We all know what we signed for on paper just a shame our accounts werent handled as outlined on the paper we signed! To an extent I agree but things are very different now from how they were then and infortunately we can do things with the very best of intentions and something happens and those intentions cannot be followed through no ones fault although not maintaining terms and conditions is something you can do something about and I fully intend to. The CCA 1974 was established to protect consumers from shoddy companies I intend to use it for the purpose for which it was created :) No offence taken here :)

Holy cr*p! It's an old fashioned opinion for a reason-If it weren't for borrowers the entire economy would collapse!!! Why do you think the government are practically begging lenders to start lending again?? :eek:

 

I think you've had your answer many times on this thread but have refused to acknowledge it. Everybody is saying "WE DO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY BUT OBJECT TO BEING TREATED LIKE SH*T". What part of that is saying "We don't take responsibility we just want sonething for nothing unlike you, who is clearly doing something we all aren't" to you???? :confused:

 

If you want to come on a thread saying "everyone should take responsibilty for their own mistakes", then please God listen when everybody is saying; "We are"!!!!!!
