    • 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.

All creditors were written to by letter dated 21.08.06, to inform them of financial difficulties. I enclosed £1 token payment and cont’d to pay this for some months until payments increased. The original payments amounted to £500-£550 per month. I am still currently making reduced payments as below. I am unsure where I stand and what I can do, if anything, and do not want to open a can of worms as I have been off work with bereavement/stress/anxiety and as a result I am now unemployed.

 

If you have read any of my other posts you might be getting the idea of what a pickle I've got myself in to, or got myself in to ten years ago.

 

 

thanks for reading and for any advice you can offer.

Lloyds TSB Goldfish Loan - now with 1st Credit

Not showing on Equifax file

Balance £4555.07

I pay £24.00 per month

Letter from Lloyds dated 17.11.06 stating, “we cannot accept your payment proposal or suspend the charges and interest on your account”

I have the original Goldfish CA from July 2004.

 

Letter from 1st Credit dated 11.01.2008 stating, “We give you notice that Lloyds TSB Bank has assigned 1st Credit all of Lloyds TSB’s rights in to and under the above detailed account.”

 

Always (monthly) sending discount letters, last one dated 23.12.13 offering 50% if paid in Jan, with decreasing % for payment in subsequent months.

 

CCA requested 06.01.14. no reply r’cd to date. Should I withhold payment until I have evidence from them?

I notice you are now not working.

 

I would think about sending a letter to all your creditors asking for a 6 month break in payments

while you get back on your feet.

 

There is I think a letter in the library.

 

That way you are not just stopping payment.

 

They may want proof of unemployment and I can see no reason not to supply a redacted copy of your termination letter

and or your benefits award.

Thanks for that, I hadn't thought about taking a payment holiday. I had thought of making £1 token payments. My last pay is on 23rd January and this will be a reduced amount as I only worked 1/2 month. I resigned so will not be able to claim benefits, but my parents have been kind enough to help with essentials until I can. The thought of all the calls/letters starting again fills me with anxiety, I feel sick just thinking about it.

If you resigned because of ill health can you get a sick note from your gp and claim ESA? That would also be good evidence to send to your creditors. If you really have no income why should you be paying anything.

where did that come from?

 

for a loan from 2004 it MUST have your signature on it

 

I also didn't see a right to cancel box.

 

how did you apply for the loan?

in a bank premises?

Letter saying that my loan application was 'successful so far' came from Goldfish PO Box 42, Peterlee SR8 2YQ.

 

 

I did not go into the bank to apply for the loan, it was either on telephone and/or online.

All I can think is that it is a recon. If that is so you need to be able to make a positive assertion that you did not sign the agreement. I hear a case was list recently even though the creditor could not produce an agreement

this is the original document they sent me as a 'customer copy' back in 2004. This is what worries me with debts, I do not want to end up in court. I can take a few hassling letters from 1st Credit. This morning I have cancelled their direct debit payment. CCA request sent 06.01.2014, no response yet. 2nd letter already prepped to send in a couple of days.

Send the above for phone calls , edit to suit

 

 

For a payment break send this

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?387353-Request-Payment-Holiday

 

again edit to suit, in fact you could combine them into one letter.

 

 

with regard to signatures I am afraid a missing creditor signature will have no effect but your missing signature could make a huge difference.

CCA requested from 1st Credit 06.01.14.

BACKGROUND INFO: Not showing on Equifax file

Balance £4555.07.

I paid £24.00 per month (stopped this month due to unemployment)

 

I have the original Goldfish CCA from July 2004.

Letter from 1st Credit dated 11.01.2008 stating,

“We give you notice that Lloyds TSB Bank has assigned 1st Credit all of Lloyds TSB’s rights in to and under the above detailed account.”

Reply to CCA Request dated 20.01.14 r'cd 23.01.14 says,

"Thank you for your recent correspondence.

Your letter has been passed to the appropriate department and they shall respond in due course."

 

Should I still send 'failure to respond' letter,

as they haven't sent what I asked for, or wait to see what happens next?

 

 

thanks.

Hi

Worst Credit know the rules and you have no need to remind them unless you feel the need to. There is a 'failure' letter in the library.

 

It would be nice to see what (if) they send when you compare it to the one you have :|

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I think their tactic is going to be phone calls, telephone harassment letter being prepped just in case. had call from them at 17:28 today - first time they've called me for years.

I'm annoyed with myself, worked out I have paid 1st Credit at least £1900 for a debt they probably paid a lot less for - think I read somewhere they pay 12p in the £1 which would mean they paid less than £800 for it. surely if the OC sells a £6500 debt for £800 then it means they wouldn't have been able to enforce it anyway? what an idiot I am

Suzi , regardless of the price they paid for it if they have the correct documents or evidence they can enforce. So yes, if eveything is in order they could enforce and for that amount you could end up BR. Now you need to look and see what documents they have and make a choice.

failure to comply letter was sent to 1st Credit on 25.01.2014.

response to first CCA request dated 20.01.2014 said,

"your letter has been passed to the appropriate department and they shall respond in due course".

 

I sent an email to the Forum Administrator to ask if amounts I put in and/or attachments could be removed from my posts,

as I have a concern that these may be picked up by 1st Credit.
