    • 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?

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.

Poland border - wouldn't life be easier if we told the migrants that we would let them all in as long as one of them killed lukashenko first... 

 

I think he would stop importing migrants at that point

Never heard of them but a quick look at their website shows they are not a financial lender themselves, they describe themselves as "an on-line network marketplace our service is free to you. We are a referral service, matching consumers with prospective lenders participating in our network of lenders. We will also use third party networks of lenders to help you find a loan that meets your criteria and requests" and "Our aim is to help customers find financial partners that meet their requirements. We are not a credit provider and cannot make decisions regarding your eligibility for loan approval."

 

The T&C and Privacy Policy on their website is vague, evasive even -  [the website is]"...operated by Company from its offices in Greater London...".  That's it! No phone number or email address, no office address, no indication if the company has an actual name other than its website URL, nothing listed at Companies House. Nor do they appear on the FCA list of authorised financial intermediaries.

 

One of my principles of how not to be scammed is never deal with a company that won't tell you the street address of its office! Nor one that offers you an attractive-sounding loan that you never applied for...

 

It gets murkier still. The  company who is allegedly offering you the loan is 'Loyal-Finance Lending'. They appear on the FCA website with a warning against them that they may be illegally offering loans in the UK without FCA authorisation.

 

Loyal-Finance.com | FCA

 

 [EDIT] Just seen the emai header. Same email to a whole string of people. Definitely a scam. No legitimate lender would ever do that.

Awesome, UB. I'm glad I don't live near a volcano.

 

My thought is on the 27 people [people,  not 'migrants'] who died in the Channel yesterday and the reaction to it. I'm saddened by the lack of compassion shown by some of the commentators.

 

How desperate do you have to be to take the risk of crossing the Channel in a small boat and to pay handsomely for the privilege? I can't claim to understand the asylum system but it's being said that legal ways of claiming asylum in the UK have been shut down, so this is the only way for many people.

 

I read elsewhere that the father of one family worked for the British in Afghanistan and had waited so long for help from us that he decided to take matters into his own hands.

That interpreters who worked for the UK in Afghanistan were left in such a position is a damning and unconscionable scar on the UK's fractional remaining credibility and honour

 

That other migrants seem to think that the UK under Johnson and Patel is A let alone THE place to risk your life to get to after crossing the EU seems rather strange to me.
