    • 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 did a SAR to Citi and they've sent the info, although they have duplicated quite a few months statements for some reason,

not by accident, they have ascending page numbers.

 

I'm about to send in a PPI claim and have taken note on other threads that Citi have refused to uphold claims on cards taken out pre 2005.

Mine started in 2002 and was closed in 2006.

 

The application form clearly shows that I was self-employed at the time and I was not told anything about suitability of the policy or alternatives,

those are the grounds I'm using to make the claim.

 

Total PPI paid was £252.76 and the StatIntSheet101 gives me a total of £200.72 at 8% so that's £453.48,

of which I'll have to donate £40.14 to the taxman.

I've no idea what associated interest there would be, so that's to add in yet.

 

I'm just sending the FOS sheet to them, let them work it out and make an offer, or refusal.

 

 

I noted somewhere that a letter to the CEO was required

- if anyone can fill me in on the details please ?

 

 

I think I may need to do the same if they play silly beggers.

Was your card originally Associates or Citicard?

 

The associated interest would probably have been around 29.9

 

Hold tight on sending your letter,

 

I have the exact t&cs that made it more onerous for the s/e to claim unemployment ppi from 2002

 

Will look up and let you know later today

ok, the exact t&cs from 2002

 

"If you were previously Self Employed"

 

Cover applies in the event of bankruptcy, liquidation or official termination of self employed status due to

 

failure of business. Temporary cessation of trading or periods of unemployment due to shortage of work

 

are not covered.

 

Evidence of cessation must be provided.

 

 

 

this is clearly a term more onerous than for someone employed, since you would have to

 

cease self employment entirely in order to qualify for the unen benefits

 

hence the policy was unsuitable for your needs

Thanks for the feedback. It was a CITI card.

 

The documents they've sent from the SAR give various figures from 27.9% to 31.8% APR.

 

At present I'm only sending a FOS questionnaire to them, see what they come back with. If they refuse to uphold the claim, then it gets interesting :-)

 

At the time I went to sign on I didn't get any benefits paid due to the previous self employment, I just had to keep signing on for NI credits. I have no doubt that the DWP will have a record if required.

yes the average will be approx 29.9% for use in your own calcs

 

they paid me near enough to the penny of my calcs using 29.9

 

I was s/e and the above was the reasoning I used

 

but took nearly 2 years of letter writing to suceed

Hi there Hillards,

 

Sorry to interrupt your thread. I'm in the process of sending a SAR to Citi Cards and wanted to ask what address you sent your data request to.

 

Like you, I signed up for this credit card back in 2002, but was in temporary employment at the time. I knew nothing about PPI at the time but have found that it was automatically added to my account.

 

Many thanks

:-)

I've not heard anything from them to acknowledge that they are dealing with my request so I've just emailed them at [email protected] to check.

 

I note from maroondevo52 's thread (http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?427288-Citi-Associates-Credit-Card-PPI-***RESULT***) that it was only a week or from sending the request to getting an acknowledgement, hence getting a bit worried after 4 weeks.

Finally, a letter from Citi. Dated Oct 23rd, just to say they are looking into my complaint. It says they will write to me again 4 weeks from the date they received my complaint. I sent them the FOS form on Sept 19th, I emailed on 17th October, so guess it's the email they've responded to.

 

I sent the FOS PPI questionnaire to the PO Box 49920, London address, the same as I had done for the SAR. I later saw, in the Citi website, that I should have sent it to Worthing, but they wouldn't just chuck it in the bin would they ? It was because I had had no acknowledgement that I emailed. The letter does not mention PPI, just 'your complaint'.

Ah, at last.

 

A letter from Citi to tell me they have upheld my PPI complaint and are offering £618.56 after the taxman gets a share, £671.28 was the total redress.

 

Because they've worked out interest on premiums applied it works out higher than my original spreadsheet total. Needless to say, offer accepted and just waiting for the cheque (within 20 working days) :-)

 

I'll update this when the cheque arrives and has cleared so the thread title can be updated.

 

Next step will be a claim for repayment of charges, overlimit and late payment fees etc, from 2003-2006, same account. These started out at £20 each, went up to £25 each and the last few were £12 each. I'll start a new thread when I have cleared the PPI. £455 of the PPI redress will be spent on court fees.
