    • 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've recently entered into a DMP through payplan and have had no direct contact with my creditors.

 

My offer was accepted but then sold onto Link Financial.

 

If I believe the debt is unenforceable what steps do I need to take to prove this?

 

Thanks,

Hi guys, thanks for the information it is most helpful and appreciated.

 

I thought I would provide you with an update of where I currently am with Link.

 

I sent them a CCA request as suggested above. I had a response within the 12 days which stated

 

"IDR Finance UK Limited purchased your debt from MBNA....and as such we do not always hold this documentation. We have requested a copy of the agreement and most recent terms and conditions your account was operated under from MBNA...and look forward to sending this to you in the near future, however please be advised that this can take up to 30 days to provide."

 

Well this letter was dated the 8th October, and as I have not received any other correspondence I believe its time to send them a default letter.

 

Is this one by 42man the correct one to send or is there another template to use?

 

Cheers,

 

Trev

Bad news,

 

after sending in a failure to comply letter,

 

Link have provided a copy of a signature form, with the following under the title "credit agreement regulated by consumer credit act 1974".

 

But this first paragraph states "when processing your application".

 

So I'm assuming this is the the application form and not the signed credit agreement,

the form number appears to be DR04/04 with copy of the credit act T&Cs attached.

This has my old address on there.

 

They have also provided another credit card agreement which has my new address,

although this is not signed and page 1 seems to be missing.

 

I appreciate that I need to upload copies for full assessment

but I'm not able to do so tonight and this is playing on my mind...

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Trev

Hi Guys,

 

Not sure if this is the right place but after some advice RE MBNA CCA.

 

After sending in a failure to comply letter,

Link have provided a copy of a signature form,

with the following under the title "credit agreement regulated by consumer credit act 1974".

 

But the text refers to the application process i.e. "when processing your application" at the end of the first paragraph.

 

So I'm assuming this is the signature part of the application form and not the signed credit agreement,

the form number appears to be DR04/04 with copy of the credit act T&Cs 1-3 attached on a separate sheet (form MB-101-F-02-04),

with T&Cs 4-19 on another separate sheets (although these T&Cs seem to be regarding the application process) document number MB 11/04.

 

The signature form has my old address on there.

 

They have also provided another document titled "Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1974" which has my new address,

although this is not signed and has no dates etc. The document number in the bottom right corner is 2932 and page 1 seems to be missing.

 

I cant determine if I have been sent a true signed copy of the CCA or just a mixture of documentation from MBNA made to look like a a signed CCA?

 

I appreciate that I need to upload copies for full assessment but I'm not able to do so tonight and this is playing on my mind.

 

..do any of these form numbers mean anything to anybody?

 

I tried to access a link to MBNA documentation on this forum but I couldn't.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll try to upload documentation as soon as possible.

 

Cheers,

 

Trev

 

P.S sorry for the long post

Thanks Dx, have moved it to the MBNA forum...

 

Hopefully get some advice, the more I'm reading the documentation the more I'm convinced this is just a mixture of documents made to look like a signed CCA.

Yeah link show as the owner of the CRA.

 

The card was taken out in 2005.

 

We didn't miss a payment until Sept 2011, MBNA sold debt on with 9 months. Seems a bit eager to offload £13k of debt from customer who never missed payment before this...

 

 

No not got all statements as we switched to paperless billing, which also offered blind ignorance I'm ashamed to say...

 

What's the reasoning behind that? I've had PPI claim turned down...

 

Cheers,

Hmm, there have been many successful cases where this tear off slip has been produced - mainly because MBNA have not been able to provide an accurate reconstruction of the rest of the paperwork.

 

You might want to have a read of Harrison v Link

 

Mr Harrison was the claimant in this instance as he had issued a claim against Link for harrassment of him and his family. Link decided to counterclaim for what they saw as their rightful due, having been assigned the account from MBNA. MBNA was then brought into the mix and their representative admitted that they did not have a proper document library until around 2009.

 

They produced several versions of what they claimed WAS the original document/terms etc.. however, Mr Harrison had actually kept a copy of ALL doucments/correspondence and the Judge agreed that what MBNA had produced was not compliant with the Act.

 

He won his claim, with the Judge issuing a damning indictment of the way Link/MBNA had hounded the Harrisons.

 

In order to fully comply with an s78 (CCA Request) the company is required to provide:

 

Copy or truthful reconstruction of the agreement

terms and conditions from both inception and at default

Statement of account.

 

Hope this helps.

 

MBNA are pulling out of the UK credit card market and are therefore offloading delinquent accounts and I think they are selling the profitable accounts to another provider.

PPI answers the question as to why they sold it a bit too.

 

why did it fail?

 

me thinks more than wht you think is reclaimable too.

 

i'd expect link to offer a discount soon.

 

might be an idea to SAR MBNA before more of the data goes out of 6yrs window.

Thanks everybody,

 

I will have a read of the Harrison case later. If we had the original paperwork would it be worth digging it out (my wife seems to think we still have it in a box in the attic).

 

Should I send Link a further letter i.e. the questionable agreement/application letter that is in the library? Do I need to resume payments to Link?

 

WRT the PPI claim, I sent in a completed questionnaire found on the FOS website to MBNA. MBNA came back and said that after investigation, no PPI had been applied to my account. If I was to send a SAR MBNA, would any PPI charges that may have been applied be shown in a charges breakdown?

 

Cheers,

Is this an MBNA loan or credit card ? If a loan, the PPI will show on the agreement, if credit card, then the premiums will be identified on statements.. so might be worth having a look for those as well.

It's a credit card. I've not ticked the box on the application so if they've added it then they haven't got a leg to stand on. Be a bit annoyed if they have as they've already told me they hadn't!

 

Thanks everyone. Really appreciate all the help.

Ok, so if it isnt ticked on the application, but premiums are shown on the statements.. then you should really go to town .. not only for the 8% simple interest, but restitutionary as well.. at the rates they charged YOU !!

OK, I will get an SAR off to MBNA over the weekend and see what I can claim, if anything.

 

I've printed out a second failure to comply letter for LINK - shall get that in the post in the morning.

 

I'm just a bit nervous over the paperwork I've been supplied with already by LINK (as posted above). Does this look like a valid CCA?

 

What is LINK's likely response to this second failure to comply letter?
