    • 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.

Hello there,

i have a PDloan with Tooth Fairy finance. I struggled with paying back the loan so I asked them for a repayment plan but the answer:

 

Please also be aware that by not paying tomorrow and/or not contacting us your credit file will be adversely affected. This will affect your credit rating which may will affect your ability to gain credit in the future or secure a mortgage.

 

It is advised that this debt should be settled before it gets to this stage.

 

We strongly recommend you make full payment of £308 by 25.08.10 either:

 

1. going online totoothfairyfinance. c o m and clicking Pay Now

 

OR

 

2. making full payment to either over the counter at the bank or by electronic transfer to:

 

Barclays Bank

Account Number: **********

Sort Code: **-**-**

Reference: Use your mobile number (44*********) as a reference so we can match it correctly by the end of today

 

or it will cost you significantly more in extra fees.

 

Your Toothfairy Loans is designed as a short term form of financing and is expensive over this length of time.

 

If you have already repaid and this is not reflected in the above statement please contact us so we can investigate this further and correct your file.

 

Many thanks

 

Kind regards

I told them again that I can't pay the full amount asking again for a repayment plan. Now they transfered loan to Northern Debt Recovery :

 

Re loan ref: xxxxxxxxxx / xxxxx / xxx

 

We have been passed your file by our client CIM Technologies Ltd t/a Toothfairy Finance. You took a loan with them on xx/xx/xx. They have made numerous attempts to contact you to arrange repayment and have offered to put you on a more flexible and affordable payment plan. As you have ignored all calls, emails, letters and sms your file has now been passed on to ourselves as well as solicitors.

 

If you ignore this letter and do not make contact within 5 working days on 0844 736 5344 we will be left no option but to send our Recovery Agents to all addresses we have on file for you in order to obtain payment. Should this also prove unsuccessful we will be liaising with solicitors who are in the process of obtaining a County Court Judgement against you. Once this is secured we will return with a Warrant of Execution from the County Court and certified Court Bailiffs to seize goods at 9 times the value of what you owe.

 

Legal and Recovery fees have been added to your file. Below is a breakdown of what you owe

 

Loan and Interest £380

Legal Fees £150

Recovery Fees £200

Repayments todate £0

Total £730

 

These fees may be reduced if contact is made immediately.

 

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CALL US IMMEDIATELY ON 0844 736 5344. We can in certain circumstances put you on a more affordable payment plan but this requires your cooperation. This will freeze the interest and allow you to repay the balance over a more convenient period of time.

 

We, in conjunction with the Solicitors and the County Court will be pursuing you for the monies that you owe. This debt will only increase the longer you ignore it as interest will carry on accruing and Court fees and Bailiff fees will ultimately be added.

 

If we do not hear from you within 5 working days you will be visited at all addresses by one of our agents. To stop this please call us today on 0844 736 5344.

 

If this debt has already been settled please contact us immediately so we can correct your file.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

DEBT MANAGER - Greg Campbell (AT)

I asked them for a repaymentplan £50 a month :

 

Your file has been passed to us, Northern Debt Recovery, by Toothfairy Finance because you have not repaid your loan to Toothfairy Finance and you have just sent an email to indicate you wish to pay £50 per month.

 

You received a £200 'short term' loan on the 14th July 2010 to be repaid within 14-28 days.

 

As a result of your DEFAULT and subsequent non-communication, charges and interest have accrued leaving the total as of today at £730. A further £36 interest is due to be added on 22nd September.

 

Furthermore, we would like to bring to your attention pertinent FAQs on the Toothfairy Finance website:-

 

Q: When should I pay back the money and how much should I pay back?

 

A: You have the choice of borrowing for either 14 or 28 days. Within that time, you should pay back the loan amount and cost.

 

Q: What happens if I do not pay after 30 days?

 

A: Not sure if you can pay back the loan, you should not apply. If you do not pay the loan within a specified time you will be charged for another loan period. If the payment still does not arrive, we will unfortunately have to send the debt to a debt collection agency which will incur additional charges.

 

'Long term' loans are not our business and therefore we become very expensive over a longer period and your credit file becomes adversely affected. When you double-digitally signed the application, you accepted all the terms and conditions of the loan.

 

We are prepared to consider a substantial reduction to settle this loan but £50 per month is unacceptable as the interest alone is £72 per month.

 

 

Please CONTACT US AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, as a matter of URGENCY to arrange settlement in the short term.

They are a long way from getting a court order. NDR's approach is vile and they are known for it. Your offer is reasonable, just keep a copy of all correspondence in case they persue the court route. Only agree to a reasonable repayment plan and on condition they freeeze interest, remove fees and don't mark your credit file.

 

To get a court order to remove goods they would have to get a ccj against you followed by you not paying, having to go back to court again and getting a warrant (if you still don't pay).

Thanks for you answers.

Got a new e-mail today and a really cheap looking letter.

Nico,

 

Repayment of your loan issued by Toothfairy Finance is still outstanding.

 

You received a £200 'short term' loan on the 14th July 2010 to be repaid within 14-28 days. As a result of your DEFAULT and subsequent non-communication, charges and interest have accrued leaving the total at £730.

 

If we or our client DO NOT HEAR from you within the next 48 hours to arrange payment or come to an agreement we will apply to your local County Court for a Judgment against you. All evidence including your loan application, the agreed Terms and Conditions (agreed with your double digital signature) along with all correspondence will be provided to the Court. You will be liable for FULL interest, fees, Court fees and possibly Bailiffs fees.

 

Once Judgment is obtained, we will look to secure a "Warrent of Execution" to enable us to obtain an attachment of your earnings and or benefits. We will also look to obtain a Warrant to cease goods from your addresses using our Certified Bailiffs. Please also note that such a Judgment will greatly hinder your ability to obtain Credit.

 

We would like to close this matter as quickly and cheaply as possible as we are sure you would. We will be willing to negate the fees and greatly reduce what you owe depending on what arrangement you can come to with us. If you ignore us we will have no option but to pursue you as above. Please also be aware that if you do not contact us and refuse to communicate in the meantime Recovery Agents will be dispatched to ALL addresses we have on file for you.

 

Please CONTACT US as a matter of URGENCY on 08447365344 to avoid

 

1. Increased Cost

 

2. Adverse Credit

 

3. Recovery Agent/ Bailiff/Court Action.

 

 

Your sincerely

Send NDRs letter to Trading Standards via Consumer Direct and to the OFT, they CANNOT charge you for the following

 

Legal Fees £150

Recovery Fees £200

 

You CANNOT have Legal Fees as there has been no court case and any transfer to the debt collectors CANNOT be charged. As for Recovery Fees they come under unfair terms and conditions.

 

All you are currently liable for are the original loan sum and any interest to date.

They also CANNOT immediately go for a 'Warrant of Execution' to have an attachment of earnings, you have to have defaulted on the amount the court agrees in the first place, and as for bailiff fees.... well they CANNOT send bailiffs round UNLESS you breach a Warrant of Execution (they can't even spell Warrent properly....) or default on a court order.

 

That email also needs to go to the OFT, Trading Standards and the Ministry of Justice (who seem to be able to get these companies sorted out - they have done a good job on closing down claim companies).

They came back to me.

Mr Reitemeier,

The minimum we will accept if 100 pounds a month. If you pay 100 this week we will freeze your file at 450 thus reducing the fees added to your file. We will also halt any further recovery action and adverse credit.

 

If this cannot be done you will be liable for the FULL amount and pursued as per previous emails.

 

Your sincerely

 

 

DEBT MANAGER - JOE DANIELS (9)

Do you think this offer is okay?

Then all you pay them is £200 plus an additional £50 for interest, they are trying it on and hoping to scare you. The courts will not look kindly on their interest rates nor on the emails - blatant intimidation.

 

Stick to your guns. Make sure you send the emails to Trading Standards and the Office of Fair Trading and if you can get to the local CAB try them too.

They came back to me this time tooth fairy again:

You owe loan and interest 416 and you have incurred 350 legal and recovery fees. This is all made clear in the terms you agreed to with your double digital signature. Your file is with Recovery Agents and Bailiffs.

 

If you clear the balance of 416 within 7 days we will drop the legal and recovery fees and pulll the file back from Philips Bailiiffs. If not you will need to come to an arrangement with NDR and you will be liable for the full loan and interest plus at least some of the fees, If you do not come to an arrangment as such you will

 

1. suffer adverse credit

2. be liable for full fees

3. have your file and all evidence taken to your local County Court. Once judgement is obtained will seek an attachment of your earnings/benefits and look to use our bailiffs to seize goods at all addresses we have on file for you.

 

We recommend you come to a reasonable arrangment today. If we do not hear from you within 24 hours you will be pursued as above and recovery agent will also be sent to all addresses if we do not hear from you.

 

Thanks

They CANNOT charge legal and recovery fees, the emails MUST go to Trading Standards, the OFT and the Ministry of Justice TODAY....

 

They also cannot send in bailiffs unless you fail to pay whatever the judge decides to order you to pay. They cannot do any of what they think they can, this email MUST go to the people above, you could also try the local police to see if they have an Economic Crime/Exclusion unit and get them to treat this as harrassment and fraud... NO fraud has been taken on your part, the company CANNOT do what they are claiming.

 

Should their case go to court we can help with a very strong defence pointing out all the deficiencies in their processes... including the extortionate charges.

 

Get those complaints letters off today and start writing out step by step the contact you have made with the company to resolve this issue, it could be used as evidence against them rather than against you.

They also CANNOT send a 'recovery agent' to all addresses as stated - if they send one to work the recover agent can be arrested on sight, and if they send one to your relatives homes they can also have them arrested for stalking (this is a new tactic so I understand from a reliable source).

 

They also CANNOT 'arrest your bank account' without a court order, if they take any funds out when no funds are available and overdraw you you can issue an immediate court order against them for the recovery and additional harrassment sums... (this again is a new tactic)

Loosing your card isn't sufficient to stop them, you sent a photocopy of your card when you signed up so they have your bank details on that card, they use the bank details to 'arrest' your account and empty every penny.

 

Get that 'parachute' accout set up asap otherwise you won't have any money when your wages go in, there is a strong chance they will 'help themselves'

Cancel the DD and give the bank a letter stating you no longer authorise this company to access your bank account by any means as the initial transaction has finished.... this should cover you should they go and use the bank details...

 

Your HR department probably meant that it was too late this month to change the bank details, they usually have a cut off date eight days before the end of the month for changes like this....

 

See if they can change the details for next month.
