Hi

 

I had an account with Vodafone (never again) and

 

the 3g just would not pick up in my area along with the 70 mile train journey between norfolk and suffolk.

I mean I know its rural but really in this day and age.

 

vodafone said no they can't do anything and that I have to pay the full amount to cancel (£557) blah blah.

 

I disputed saying hang on you're not providing a service and

 

they just kept replying with we only need to provide a service at your home address.

 

Hang on a MOBILE phone and they only have to guarantee service at your home address, very strange.

 

I was told that if i didn't pay it would go to DCA etc.

 

I'm in the middle of disputing this with Vodafone in february 2014 and I received a letter from a DCA.

 

they have just fobbed it off to them to get rid of.

 

I cough up and pay otherwise my credit report is going to be in tatters

(which when checking they had already recorded a default against me).

 

Fast forward to March and they refund me £185.74 for accidentally taking it when they shouldn't have.

 

I then need to contact them in June 2014 and

 

the first thing I am told is that I'm owed £185.74

 

hmmmm ok put it in my bank which they kindly did.

 

2 days later check the bank and £185.74.

 

this means with my great maths that £185.74 x 3 = £557.22 (the amount the default was for)

 

they have said yes ok you were right heres the money back but

 

now I'm done anyway because of this default,

 

is there anything I can do about it to get it removed

 

Thanks

Tom

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..

Cant see it looking likely to go anywhere to be fair but they have definitely messed me around.

 

 

I paid the debt and then they refunded it all back to me as you can see from my first post.

 

 

So personally I don't see how they can still default my credit reference as they repaid all the monies.

 

 

Hey Ho Vodafone for you

Please let us know how this is resolved.

 

Hi

 

 

I have had a response from Lee. Not good.

 

 

They have clearly refunded the money to me which I can prove to them

but they are saying their system shows no record of this

and because the default was from last year when the case was with the FOS

they are unable to remove the default.

 

 

Also I don't know if I did mention that they deleted a very important call which was asked for by the FOS.

 

 

Can I dispute this with the FOS again with regards to them refunding me the money but saying they have not.

 

 

I tell you they must have a great finance department if they cant even find refunds to customers.

Cheers

Hi tomlake58

 

Don't panic. You've done well so far. Vodafone can't prove they lodged the refunds into your account, but you can. Your bank statements.

 

Lodge a complaint with the ICO, it can be done online. http://ico.org.uk/

 

The ICO have made some amendments recently.

Hey all

 

 

I have had a response from the ICO saying that Vodafone should return my account balance to £0

because they have refunded the full amount back to me.

 

 

Will this remove the default or not?

 

 

Lee can you please get in contact with me in regards to this

 

 

because I have the proof that this was refunded

 

 

but you're saying you didn't refund this back to me.

 

 

Cheers

Companies don't like removing defaults because that is an admission of libel

and carries a liability for action if you have been charged a higher interest rate

or lost the opportunity to purchase something on credit because of the default.

 

 

Of course they can remove it as "a gesture of goodwill" without admitting any liability.

 

 

If they do that, you might want to ask if their goodwill comes with some amount of compensation.

 

Most likely we won't hear from you again on this thread if they do that!

Well as you can see

 

Lee has got it and he has passed it to the "appropriate team".

 

Ive had that line before,

 

palm it off to another person and let them deal with it.

 

Im just waiting for them to come back

 

and deny they have refunded it

 

and then for me to prove them wrong as always.

 

and to top it off

 

 

ive just checked my credit report.

 

 

the satisfied date was 27/03/2014

but they keep updating my credit report with a default.

 

 

The last entry from Vodafone was the 10/08/2014.

 

 

SUrely once its settled they cant keep updating my file.....can they?

 

 

Lee please can you sort.

 

 

This is getting out of hand now

 

Lee have you had a response on this one yet please

 

 

as Im still awaiting an outcome on this one being resolved

Hi Lee

 

 

Could you please push this through as it has been going on now since the middle of July

and the information on my report is incorrect and affecting my current mortgage application.

 

 

I do believe that Vodafone are breaking data protection laws when holding incorrect information.

I would prefer this to be sorted by the end of this week.

 

 

I have received your email and replied

 

 

I would just like to point out that the satisfaction date was the 27/03/2014

but the account keeps being updated.

 

 

There is no way I want the date to be changed to the 19th June 2014 as this is definitely incorrect.

 

 

I want the satisfaction date to be 27/03/2014 with the last updated date to be the same as this is when the account was closed.

Hi All

Need some advice.

 

 

Vodafone are refusing to accept the fact they have refunded me the money back to my account

and they are not interested in me showing them my bank statements to prove it either.

 

 

Would anyone suggest going to the ombudsman about this issue

or will I not have a leg to stand on.

 

 

Cheers
