    • 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.

i actually left that account open. as we had no other debit cards, it was handy..

but when i first agreed the plans PDUK, and WONGA still repeatedly tried the card but to no avail, this all got stopped when the bank called and questioned these failed transactions, at which point i recorded these as fraudulent.

 

Thats was the last time the bank called!! not sure if they then put a block on these 2 companies.

 

but that account is only used as a means of paying something, and the money doesnt go in til the payment is literally being made. and is only in the accoutn seconds prior to the payment........

 

money is never in that account for more than 1 min!!!

I dont it with the help and guidance fro the many threads on CAG.... i read other forums, but found these one nothing more than helpful. Other forums, are so judgemental its unreal.

 

I had 10 i think

Lendin Stream *2

247moneybox

PDUK

PDE

LendUK

Wonga

WDA

EarlypaydayUK

Uncle Buck

 

If I count up, i had loans totalling over £2,000. i was paying over £800 per month on rollover fees. Overtime at work was what i was surviving on...

I thought enough was enough.

I called everyone once then dealt after that with emails.

Wonga, WDA, LendUK, and U Buck were the easit to deal with. The rest needed a bit of persuasion. PDE needed a boot up the )( cheeks.

I managed to pay PDE over 2 mths, but refused to pay the rollover/interest fees. the wouldnt budge, and i told thm to take me to court. eventually after many heated telephone exchanges they backed don, and confirmed in email the account was settled and closed.

 

The key is to close the bank account and cut their scource of pilfering as they will, and at will.

I paid all by faster payment, and WDA and EPDL by ddeb. i didnt mind the ddeb, as if they tried to take more i would simply enforce the ddeb indemnity.

 

Ive been on the count down over the 3mths, and finally today it happened... all cleared.

 

I paid the 10 over a period of 3-6mths.

the final ones being 247, EPDL, WDA & Wonga.

 

These companies imo do serve a purpose, and they advertise how great it is to use them, and they even compare the bank charges, problem is they dont tell, what they will do when things go wrong. and its this end that needs regulated as well.

 

There needs to be more regulation in the application stage, as its 2 easy to rack up with 10loans wheneve your takehome is £1200.... doesnt give much left over after rollovers....

also how long did it take for them to back down?

 

they wouldnt so within 2 mths i called to pay balance + one month, they refused, and i said i had the money to pay and thats all i was paying, and they were refusing to even take that..... so eventually an account manager called, and i explained all i was will to pay to clear the account was loan+1mth, i said you can take me to court and your company can explain why you have refused to take payment.... he agreed to take my money, but before i did, while he was on the phone i requested an email to that effect... only then did i faster payment the money onto the debit card, and give the money over,,,,

Hi Just wanted to say reading your posts has given ne the push to sort out my payday loan mess. I owe wonga 1250 and pduk £500. Both are due to be paid on 25th, unfortunately I havnt been able to open up a bank account in time as Halifax say they have had lots of applications and could take 10 days. My work process my wages a week before I'm due to get paid. I've heard mixed reviews about both pduk and wonga and how willing they are to take on payment plans. Do you gave any tips on the best way to contact and deal with each of them? I'd be so grateful as can't afford to rollover again as already behind with rent.

Hey, I also meant to ask if anyone had advice on how to stop both wonga and pduk taking the money out of my account when I get paid. I'm worried that not being able to open a bank account in time will result in them taking. From what I've read just cancelling my card may not be enough. Any advice would be really appreciated, I'm determined not to sort this out but really worried.

Thanks

Determined to sort this out :)

 

for wonga send the same email to [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] NOW.......

 

explain your change in financial circumstances, offer 6-9mths, ask for sort code/acc number so you can send payment by faster payments on payday.... within hours, they will freeze your interest, and giv you your monthly payments....

 

dont wait til the 25th... as wonga charge interest daily they will stop as soon as they recieve your email
