    • 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 therte was still £69 owing, so 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 106985089 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, so 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.

If you had read the post it refers to passing the matter

to solicitors to consider legal enforcement ie., issuing

a county court claim and it will indeed fall to solicitors

to enforce any judgment through the court system.!!

 

That isn't technically 'enforcement' though is it? It's making a claim. A claim which would fail.

 

The word 'Enforcement' has been deployed to create a false image.. i.e one of bailiffs etc, rather than undertaking a course of action that would be highly likely to fail.

hi is all this debt accumulated because the loan was not paid back on the first due date? I have just taken £150 with a repayment of £193.27 on nov 14th. Surely if i pay this back on that date no extra charges will apply?

No, you owe the loan and the interest on the loan on the due date. No other fees should be added on.

 

This, I think, is where people don't realise the amount the interest actually racks up, it would be nice if it was pegged at say £25 per £100 seeing as it is a short term loan and not meant to be long term finance.

 

You will get nowhere trying to repay the £150 only and won't have any grounds should they take you to court.

 

Loan and interest for the period you borrowed applies.

Ignore them and report to the OFT/Trading Standards, Fredericksons pulled out of collecting debt for Payday loan companies due to the interest of the OFT/Trading Standards and other parties - so this lot have got hold of a lemon.

 

http://www.consumerdirect.gov.uk for the OFT, remind them that Freds had it previously and dropped it and that the OFT are investigating payday loans

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

 

Passing a debt between multiple collections people is against the OFT Guidelines on Debt Collecting.

 

You could also contact Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy who is active in the payday loan area... she has people waiting to name and shame these companies.

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets

as a picture[jpg] file

remove all pers info inc barcodes etc using paint program

but leave all figures and dates.

 

goto one of the many free online pdf converter websites

As dx said. They cant and wont do anything. They are simply scaring you into paying it back. As for DERS, they have NO legal rights to do ANYTHING in relation to your debt. Tell them to go "eff themselves".

Think about it. How would they take your wages? If they touched it without your permission, then they would have stolen it and would be under a heavy police and government investigation.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Ignore it. Theyre the same company.. They will NEVER be able to justify an £80 loan escalating to almost £1000 in just 6 months.

 

Can you post 1 or 2 of their letters in a separate thread, minus any personal info? We can then advise you on what to do next, although your first step is to sent them a notice of dispute and get a complaint with the OFT. The dispute, basically holds the account in limbo, and they cant proceed with any collection attempts, adding on charges and interest etc. Coupled with the OFT complaint, the only people that can resolve the dispute is either the OFT, a judge, or them backing down and agreeing that you only pay the REAL amount you owe.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
