    • 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?

    • 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.

I came home from work this afternoon to a hand delivered notice of eviction letter for 26th august. This is for a secured loan from kensington, total amount outstanding £8080.72. Stupidly I have put my head in the sand and not paid any of the payments since last march, due to amount of debts and stress. I have spoken to kensington today and I have offered to pay £500 per month (usual amount is £292.50), they have been through an income/expenditure with me on the phone and I have to send off my last 6 months bank statements tomorrow for them to decide whether to accept my offer.

 

Does anybody have any experience of similar situations, what may happen next if they will accept the offer and what I can do, I have 3 children and am worried sick.

 

Thanks in advance

To this day, I have never sent Kensington bank statements - they will claim it's part of their decision making process but do not agree to send them. They're trying to use bully tactics to circumvent a court hearing - don't let them.

 

You need to fill in an N244 as soon as humanly possible (no later than tomorrow) and take it to the county courts to get a hearing date. The submission will cost you £35 and be sure to ask the clerk if the court can provide free representation for the hearing (they did this for me). Also, get in touch with your local Citizens Advice Bureau today as they can help you get together a defence and speak to Kensington on your behalf (CAB hold a lot of sway with the courts and you want to have them fighting for you).

 

You can download an N244 to fill out and print from your PC here. The CAB can help you fill this out - it's fairly straight forward but Section 10 will require a statement from yourself. Ell-enn may be able to help you with all of this (she works wonders, she really does)

 

You'll also need to create a budget to prove that your repayment proposal is affordable for the Judge to consider. I have attached a budget sheet for you to do this if you have not done so already.

 

Hopefully Ell-enn will be around soon to offer you her help. You'll need to act fast on all of this though but don't worry too much. Facing something like this is difficult but be assured we're all here to help and that the courts are generally sympathetic. Repossession is an absolute last resort and if you can clearly show the Judge that you can afford the repayments you've proposed, you will not lose your home. Stay positive!

Hi there, I can help you with the N244 - Q 10 is the most important part. Would you be able to get to the court on Monday morning first thing - if you can do that you should be able to get an emergency hearing before the 26th.

 

I'm at work at the moment, but will be back on line tonight.

Thankyou so much ell-enn, was thinking of posting the n244 tomorrow (registered next day) so they receive it on friday, do you think that would be ok? as I should be at my mums caravan with her from saturday to monday.

 

I will speak to you later, many thanks again

The problem with posting it is that the court may post back to you the date of the hearing. You would need to ring the court on Friday or Monday to find out when the hearing is. I can help you later this evening with the N244.

Hi there, you will need to submit a budget sheet with the N244 and I have affixed one to this post. When filling it in remember that the amount you are offering to pay towards the arrears each month in addition to the normal monthly payment, is the amount left over after everything else has been accounted for.

 

I have also affixed an N244 form and will give you the instructions for filling it in shortly.

 

Need to know-

is the mortgage in joint names?

are there any children living in the property?

How much are you able to pay in addition to the normal monthly payment?

 

when you have answered the above I will draft a statement for Q.10 of the form.

hi el-enn, firstly thankyou for helping me. I have the budget and n244 form thankyou, the secured loan is in my name (as is my mortgage, I bought the house before i met this second husband) i live with my husband, 19 year old daughter, 13 year old son, 3 year old daughter and my step son (12) stays with us every other weekend. So I have 2 dependent children, looking at the budget form I can afford to pay an extra £150 per month, however after speaking to Kensington, they want me to pay an extra £200 per month but they still want bank statements so they can decide if they will accept the repayment offer? don't know whether i should still deal with them or wait for the court.

el-enn, my husband is saying i need to reiterate the fact that if we lose our home then we lose our jobs, i am a childrens nurse and he works as a principal engineer for G4S if that helps, i'm sure you are experienced in these matters (certainly reading your posts that is the case) not sure if that helps anything in the Q.10

Hi there, are you counting your husband's income on the budget sheet? What was the reason for missing the paymnents (the judge will want to know). Why will you lose your jobs if you lose the house? this will be a good point to mention on the N244

the reason for missing the payments was due to a car accident i had last january, i was off work for 4 months and suffered with stress, had lots of bills to pay and stupidly paid them instead of this loan (and stuck my head in the sand and hoped it would go away), my husband's income is on the form, he works from home sometimes so if we didnt have one this would affect his work. I'm still suffering from stress (obviously, this certainly isn't helping) though i havent any prove ie. not consulted the gp etc.

Hi there, affixed is the statement for Q.10 of the N244. You need to enter the info at the top where there are xxx's (remove the xxx's). When you print out the statement make sure your printer is set for A4 paper (not letter size), so it all fits on one page.

 

On the budget sheet - write the claim number on the top left hand corner and Appendix 1 on the top right hand corner.

 

These are the instructions for completing the rest of the form:

 

 

 

1. Your names

2. Tick Defendant

3. Suspension of eviction

4. No

5. Tick at a hearing

6. 15 minutes

Agreed by all parties: No

7. Write - Not applicable

8. District

9. Both Parties

10. Tick box for attached witness statement

Cross out all options except I Believe

Sign and cross out all options except Applicant

11. Sign and cross out all options except Applicant. Enter your address and contact details.

 

When you have completed the form you need to staple the statement and budget sheet to it. You will need to send a £35 postal order with it - you can't send a cheque as they will wait for it to clear before giving a hearing date and you don't have time for that. Take a photocopy of it all for yourself so you have a set to refer to in the hearing.

 

You will need to phone the court on Friday to find out when the hearing is.

 

Any questions, just shout.

Judges do not want to take people's homes away from them when there is a good chance they can make payments. The only times I've known evictions to be granted are when the defendants have no hope of making payments or have had several eviction hearings. Both you and your husband have jobs, so it is very, very unlikely that you will lose your home. When you phone the court to find out when the hearing is, ask if there are free legal reps in attendance that day - a lot of courts have them nowadays, they can be a great help and can accompany you into the hearing.

 

Stay positive, I'm sure it will be OK

You're cutting it a bit fine - you really need to hand deliver the form to the court tomorrow. The court may not process the form straight away if they get it in the post on Monday which means you might not get a hearing till the morning of the eviction (not good for the nerves!!). Is there no way you can get the form to the court tomorrow?

oh hell, i'm working from 7-4 tomorrow so cant get to the court, no the hearing the same day would not be good for the nerves, its my sons birthday on 25th too, dont think a totally stressed out mum will be much fun for him. Can't see what else I can do, my husband is working away in tewkesbury so he cant go and drop it off, he has the forms with him and he was going to post them tomorrow. do you think if i phone the court on monday morning and explain they may process it then for me and give me a date, I am hoping for the tuesday so I dont have to go on my sons birthday and the eviction day would be even worse i think.

Hi there, make sure you take your copy of the N244 so you can refer to it in the hearing if necessary. Also, when you get to the court ask if there are any free legal advisors there who could come into the hearing with you. Lots of courts have them these days and they can be a great help.

Hi Tigger,

 

It might seem daunting but try not to worry too much (easily said from a distance, I know but you will find it easier in court if you can keep calm). I''ve tried to think of a few hints and tips to help out, hope it's of use.

 

Leave plenty of time for your journey and make sure you are there in good time (stating the obvious I know) if anything does go wrong call the court to let them know you are on your way and when you expect to get there. It might be helpful to put the court's number in your phone before you leave just in case.

 

Dress smartly to show respect for the court and the judge but no need to be suited and booted, I just mean ideally not in jeans & trainers.

 

Make sure you sign in with the usher so the court know you are there and will call for you when you're due in court. If you have to pop out for any reason let the usher know.

 

Remember to turn your phone off or on silent before going into the judges chambers or court room, it's fine to have it on in the waiting area.

 

Do see if there is any free representation available at the court, they are most often there on the day(s) aside for possession cases so they may or may not be. The usher should be able to point you in the right direction if they are there.

 

Be courteous to the agent for the opposing side before the hearing if they approach you, they might have a mandate to agree a suspension on terms before you go before the judge but if they indicate they are there to oppose at all costs you don't have to discuss things further with them.

 

If you are before a district judge (when you find your case on the listing it should say who will be hearing it, you can always check with the usher if it's not clear) address them as sir or madam.

 

That's just a few basics which you might already be aware of if you've been to court before.

 

I wish you the best of luck :)
