    • 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.

Hi,

I posted this on the wrong forum a few days back:

 

"Any advice trying to remove a default from a 3 mobile account? It is for £81 (defaulted in 2007) and is now settled as per my credit file but, it constantly lets me down when applying for credit. I have seen the 2 letters here now, do i send them both to 3 Hutchison?

 

Would it be best to try a sympathetic approach first asking if the would remove the default from my file as it is only a small amount or go straight in with the 2 template letters?"

Following advice from what I have found, I sent a letter asking 3 to remove the default from my accout as I am having problems when applying for credit.

Here is the response they emailed to me:

I've received your query regarding a default on your credit file reported by us.

I understand that you no longer have an account with us and that you settled this account in full in 2008. However, this does not mean that the account should have been removed from your credit file at this time.

When you entered into the agreement with us, you accepted that the way this account was managed would be reported to the credit reference agencies. You defaulted on your payments in 2007 and we reported this to them.

When you settled the balance in 2008 we reported that the default was satisfied and we were not required to do anything more than this. I'm sorry this is causing problems with your credit file but we cannot remove the entry for you.

My understanding is that a default on any credit agreement will remain on your credit file for six years but if you want further information on this I'd suggest that you contact the credit reference agencies.

I must make it clear that we are not breaching the Data Protection Act in anyway, irrespective of the fact that your account has now been closed. We are obligated to provide the credit reference agencies with correct information on how an account has been managed and I can only reiterate that we will not be making any changes to your credit file, in relation to your request.

I'm sorry I couldn't be of further assistance but if you wish to discuss this matter further, you can call me at the Executive Office on 08433 733330 (5p/min from a BT landline, other networks may vary). Our business hours are Monday to Friday, 9am until 6.30pm.

The bit where it says My understanding is that a default on any credit agreement will remain on your credit file for six years is a bit confusing. Am I right in saying that you do not enter a credit agreement with a mobile contract?

I entered this contract in 2006 from carphone warehouse.

Please can someone advise me what my next steps could be?

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hello,

 

Can anyone help me with this?

 

I purchased a mobile phone from carphone warehouse back in 2006 on the 3 network. While in the contract I lost the phone and purchased a new phone which I sourced myself and I had to buy a new sim from 3 at a cost of £15. A few months after this I was not happy with the contract and I phoned 3 to try and cancel my contract. I was told by the call centre that I could not cancel the contract. They wouldnt even offer me an early termination fee. So I decided not to pay the monthly bills. I continued to receive bills from 3 but I just ignored them for months. I eventually started to receive letters from a debt recovery agency (name I cannot remember). I eventually called 3 and settled the bill (£81) over the phone paying by card. Upon checking I have a default on my experian credit file which I would like to go about removing. Any ideas?

When was the default registered? If it was in 2006 it should drop off your file this year.

 

The default was registered in 2007. I know this default is going to cause me trouble still. I have had probs with obtaining credit for ages now
