    • OK, thanks, I won't wait for them. On a side note, some of the posts on here are a bit frustrating, I read through five pages or so of someone going through the court process rooting for them as I'm reading, then nothing, not heard of again. Left here wondering what the outcome was, lol!
    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because there was still £69 owing, I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle. However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account ......... has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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 have a payday loan with these guys, and have told them I cannot afford to pay - but im willing to make a payment plan - this is their response...... Any advice would be welcomed. Surely I dont have to send them my bank statement?

 

 

 

Dear Customer

Thank you for your recent correspondence, please find attached an income expenditure form for you to complete in order for us to accept a reduced monthly payment.

Please complete the form in as much detail as possible and we will also require last months bank statement to support the income expenditure form, please ensure the form & the supporting document/s are returned to us within 5working days. Failure to do so will result in your account been processed which means you will incur daily interest, receive calls, emails & sms.

You also authorise WagedayAdvance to collect outstanding monies from any account details you have provided to us.

Regards,

DO NOT COMPLETE the form at all, tell them your income/expenditure is still being reassessed on a weekly basis. They HAVE NO RIGHT to the information contained.

 

DO NOT send in any bank statements and payslips either.

 

REPORT that email to Trading Standards via Consumer Direct, they are not allowed to threaten you in the way they are doing. It is illegal for them to suggest that if you DON'T give them the information they will harrass you.

Thanks for the prompt reply sillygirl 1 :) I have just replied with the following.....

 

"Firstly - my income and expenditure is varying week by week due to being absent from work - you also have no right to this information at all. Nor will I be sending you any wageslips / bank statements. In fact, I will REPORT this email to Trading Standards via Consumer Direct, as you are not allowed to threaten me in the way you are doing. It is illegal for you to suggest that if I DON'T give you the information they will harrass me.

Latest response from these idiots.....

 

"

Dear Scott

If you wish to set up a payment plan, there is a set up fee of £36 added to the balance. I am willing to split the balance of £411 over 2 months at £205.50.

Please advise.

Regards"

 

How can they just decide that there is now a fee for a repayment plan, the fact I have told them that I cannot afford my roleover fee of £75 pound, and now they say they can do a payment plan of £200 a month, is in fact very stupid of them, because I cannot accept that !!!

Get that to the OFfice of Fair Trading and Trading Standards, this is not acceptable behaviour from them, it does NOT cost anything like the amount they want to set up a payment plan, and besides they are only allowing you 2 months which is ludicrous.

 

Get those complaints in TODAY whilst set up fees are still hot news in the OFT.

Complain to the Office of Fair Trading - http://www.oft.gov.uk

and Trading Standards via Consumer Direct http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk

 

The company are obliged to try to help you if you are in financial difficulty and they are not helping with their attitude.

 

Tell them again your income/expenditure is in a state of daily change at the moment and you now have no option other than to pay a token £1 payment until they come to their senses.

 

Dear Sirs

 

My income and expenditure is changing on a daily basis and I am trying to satisfy all my creditors to the best of my ability. For those who are being unreasonable about repayment levels I have set up a self-administered debt management plan and you are now going 'into that pot'. All people in the plan get a token £1 payment a month via postal order or into a bank account of their choice with my name as reference.

 

Until you come to a reasonable compromise over this I see no point in wasting my time and what little money I have left over in asking for help when it is not forthcoming.

 

A court of law would come to the same conclusion should this be progressed that far... so to summarise, the offer is

 

XXX per month for the next XXX months with no additional interest/fees etc added to the account.

£1 per month until I am in a more stable financial position.

 

Any phone calls from your company will be recorded and used as evidence should this be necessary, as will all correspondence from you or your agents/appointed representatives.

 

I also revoke any right for youor your agents to send a doorstep collector (or whatever name you use for these people). Should anyone come a copy of this letter will be handed to them and they will be asked to swiftly leave.

 

Yours

 

 

Dont forget to print your name rather than sign it.

Folks please advise as they will not budge on the income/expenditure thing.

Dear Scott

Thank you for your email. If you are unwilling to complete an income and expenditure form then we are unable to consider your offer and your account will be processed in line with the terms and conditions to which you agreed when signing your agreement.

Having emailed them refusing to send my income and expenditure (told them that I do not receive statements or have online banking), this is the latest reply from Richard King.....

Dear Scott

The Halifax will issue statements upon request. We use these to support the income and expenditure form. I am not prepared to continue emailing back and forth in this manner. If you would like to come to an arrangement I will be happy to assist once in receipt of the requested information.

Be careful - they'll empty your bank account if there is no arrangement in place. Does your salary go into the account they take payments from?

I'd reply back

 

Thank you for your email confirming you will not negotiate. I am now complaining to the

 

Office of Fair Trading http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk

Trading Standards http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk

 

As you are not willing to negotiate then you are basically making the loan unenforceable, one of the prime considerations of taking somebody to court now is that you cannot reache a pre-court settlement, therefore I now need your solicitors details.

 

I am also passing your email onto Trading Standards and the OFT in the hope that some sort of compromise can be reached.

Dear Scott

Your last email did not require a response. You have been offered a resolution and this was declined. If you wish to come to an arrangement then we require the documentation I have requested, £1.00 is not sufficient to hold your account.

Regards

Hi ScottI found Wageday Advance to be very awkward but be persistent. I sent just a very basic income and expenditure and included debts and the amount I had available to distribute amongst my creditors. I did send a copy of my wage slipand my bank statement to show my salary being credited, however I blanked out all other transactions and more importantly my account number. Eventually, after almost 3 months, they finally agreed to a 6 month payment plan and sent me their bank details in order for me to set up a standing order. The £36 fee seems to be standard but they did agree to the loan amount + one month's interest. Keep going. You will eventually come to an agreement.

The funny thing is, I actually have their account number - the guy gave it me himself ! So if I was to pay say £10 in to their account what would happen next?
