    • jk2054 - I haven't started a claim with OIC or MIB yet, due to being unable to obtain the name of the other driver.  BankFodder cheers for that, I'll go back to them with this info & update on here when I've had a response
    • Andy thanks for your reply. No i am now being evicted from the house i moved into after that previous post. The letting agent lied to me when they said the landlord would not be selling the house. SHe did not mention that the landlord tried to sell the house last year, i was not told this, 4 months into the tenancy i got the eviction notice. Its obvious they lied to me and used me to fill in the gap between their attempts to sell the house. I have filled in the defence form as it was easy to follow the old one from my previous post. I will post it later on in the hope someone can give it the once over. It has to be in by the end of this month may 31st.  
    • It's a GR Yaris - Finance is with Alphera, who are part of BMW I believe. I'm sure the unit is very expensive to repair, I have even told them I would be happy with a refurbished/reconditioned unit, in trying to be reasonable as well.
    • Without seeing this envelope, document and sticker it is impossible to advise properly. However, just going on what you have told us, there are two ways you can deal with this: !. The easy way. This has the lowest risk but the guarantee of a penalty for speeding.  You can respond to the SJPN by pleading “Not Guilty” to both charges. In the “Reasons for pleading Not Guilty” box you can explain that you responded to the request for driver’s details but it was recently returned to you, seemingly not actioned. However, you are willing to plead guilty to the speeding charge providing, and only providing, the “Fail to Provide Driver's Details" (FtP) charge is dropped. You could also ask the court to consider sentencing you at the fixed penalty level (£100 and 3 points) as this prosecution seems to be the result of an administrative problem outside your control. 2. The not so easy way with higher risk. This could see you convicted of the FtP charge but has the possibility that you escape with no penalty whatsoever. You can do the same – plead not guilty to both charges. If you go down this route the speeding charge cannot succeed as they have no evidence you were driving. This comes from your response to the request for driver’s details which the police say they have not got. You can mention in the “Reasons” box that you returned the request for driver’s details as required. You will then face a trial for the FtP charge and you can produced your response together with the envelope and sticker showing it had been returned to you. The risk with this is that if your defence fails you will be fined a week and a half’s net income, pay a “Victim Surcharge” of 40% of the fine, pay prosecution costs of around £650 and have six points together with an endorsement code (MS90) which will see your insurance premiums rocket.

    • 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.

IS this right? Can a CRA continuously report, month after month, a red 6 ? For example -can they put on 15 red 6's before an 8?

 

Hi, i'm having the same problem with this too. This has been happening to me for the last 6 1/2 years from welcome finance.

 

I can't get any answers from anyone and have even got Experian to speak with Welcome Finance who are reporting this. Still no luck every month shows a big fat 6!!! :-x

I took out a HP agreement in july 2005 I wasn't happy with the car (all from Welcome Fianance) and refused to pay them and told them to collect the car. The car literally fell apart after 2 months!

 

They collected the car and I moved heard nothing from them. Its still showing on my credit report that i Owe Them 6k plus they clearly never took any money off for taking the car back.

 

I have sent them a CCA with no reply that was over a year ago. Last time I paid any money to them was November 2005 as it's on my bank statement.

 

So i'm basically stuffed, I want to get a mortgage but they are still showing 6 tags on my credit report. for the past 6 YEARS!!!! This is with Experian, nothing on callcredit and i'm waiting for Equifax to send me thiers.

 

I have got some info togther to send the the ICO hopefully they can help?? I'm getting desperate now feel like this is gonna go on forever!!!

 

How did you get your resolved???

I know how you feel.

 

Id do 4 things.

 

1. Check your credit report for a CCJ

2. Send Welcome and SB letter

3. Send Welcome an SAR to find out whats been going on

4. Send them a nice letter; something like this perhaps.

 

Dear sir/madam

 

Account ref xxxxxxxxxx

date xxxxxx

 

Dear sir, madam,

 

I have recently checked my CRF and have been shocked to discover WF are still updating a very old account with late payment markers.

I have attached a copy of my CRF for your reference clearly showing what has been reported for the last 'x' years, bearing in mind the last payment

was made in November of 2005. I deem this as being unfair as this does not accurately reflect the true status of this account.

 

furthermore your continous reporting of inaccurate data against me breaches the principles as set out in the data protection act 1988 in addition

to breaching the ICO's guidance on dealing with deliquent accounts, as set out in the 'data protection technical guidance notes on filing of defaults with credit reference agencies'. The account should have been defaulted within 6 months, latest by end May 2006. If WF had followed these guidelines, then this record would have been completely removed from my CRF in May of 2012.

 

You must be aware that continuously reporting such inaccurate data on my CRF is having a severe negative impact on my credit status and as such I can only but conclude that WF actions are designed to be vexatious in the least.

 

I therefore require you to urgently remove this entry from my credit file and confirm the same in writing.

 

 

I baslcially threw as much as I possibly could at them. CPUTR2008, ICO guidance and DPA 1988. theres no way really they could have go out of it.

Hi,

 

Thought I would let you know the latest. ....

 

I recieved my Equifax report to day and there is no sign of welcome finance on there which is good news also not on Call credit so it appears the only one still reporting on is Experian???

 

Any ideas why this could be? TBH I havn't checked my experian for a few months now so will do that shortly possibly could have dropped off though think unlikely!! Also no CCJ at all on any of them from anyone!

 

Thanks in advance

WF exists only to collect book debts,and does no more

new business,so I guess 1 CRA is enough.

There seems to be a lot of fairly old WF accounts coming to light

at present more of the than usual have not been defaulted by WF

or DCAs, it may be that there is some reason for this relating to the

the fact that Welcome only exists to collect the outstanding debts,

so my guess is that accounts were not defaulted so they remain on

credit, WFs paperwork and record keeping has always been dreadful

and I think they have used the CRAs as afiling system.

For reference the ICO Data Protection Technical Guidance on Filing defaults with credit reference agencies is here: http://www.ico.gov.uk/upload/documents/library/data_protection/detailed_specialist_guides/default_tgn_version_v3%20%20doc.pdf

In that document it is stated "A record showing a series of payments as six months in arrears when this does not reflect the real payment history should not be used as an equivalent of a default."

I have successfully used the Guidance to get one of my creditors to record a default with the CRAs properly, and am in the process of going through the complaint process with two others.

Many Thanks

  • 2 weeks later...

Hi,

 

Thought I would give you an update...

 

It has been 2 weeks and Welcome Finance have not replied, nothing at all. I sent the letter Special Next Day delivery and have tracked it so I know they definately recieved it.

 

So I have gathered all the information together and sent a complaint to the ICO. Hopefully they can get Welcome to get this removed from my file and I can have a normal life again.

 

Do you think they can make this happen? Fingers & toes crossed!!!!

Did you head the letter FORMAL COMPLAINT? Did you send it to the Compliance Department in Nottingham?

 

Two weeks would be about the timeframe I would expect of them to respond to a Formal Complaint acknowledging receipt and enclosing a copy of their complaints procedure. This would have an anticipation of providing you with a final response up to 8 weeks from receipt. You really do need to give them a little more time.

They have up to 8 weeks to reply to a formal complaint. There are a few companies that actively wait a good few weeks before sending out replies, hoping that you will agree to drag it out longer, and not realise that they only have 8 weeks to reply, regardless of what is happening.

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..

Oh ok I didn't realise that, I will give them a while longer. No didn't write Formal Complaint anywhere. Hopefully when and if they reply I can go from there and actually see what the score is.

 

See as I havn't spoken to them for nearly 7 years i'm not too hopeful of them replying anyway tbh. But I live in hope!!!

 

Thanks for the advice :-)

Did you mention the ICO Technical Guidance on Default Entries,

which states that defaults must be placed timely usually within 6

months of the cause of action, and that late paynent markers should

NOT be used instead of a default.
