    • 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?

    • 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.

Help! Unknown CCJ by Lowell portfolio on 3 mobile debt - now Bailiffs at my door

Hi,

 

I'm new here and hope someone can help me as the clock is ticking!

 

I had a bailiff from the county court attend my house.

 

To cut a long story short,

 

I have to pay £172 to avoid goods being removed and there's a further £364 to pay.

I never received the paperwork from the county court when judgement was entered otherwise I'd have acted then.

 

I have had this held for 2 weeks as I wrote to Lowell and sent a postal order requesting a credit agreement

and statements as to how they arrived at this figure as I thought the contract I had with 3 had ended (this was in 2011).

 

I received the postal order back stating that although they own the debt, it's being dealt with by fredrickson

- I've never had any correspondence from them!

 

They also said its for a service so not subject to CCA, I've yet to receive statements.

 

So, the bailiff contacts me today and I have until tomorrow to pay the £172 or £155 to have judgement set aside,

do I have any chance of getting this removed,

 

I don't want to risk losing the £155 to apply to have it set aside but

at the same time, I don't want to pay until I have an actual figure and it doesn't seem right that Lowell are passing responsibility to fredrickson

who have never contacted me and it states Lowell on the warrant

 

- I'm stressed to he with this,

 

 

any advice would be gratefully received!

Thank you in advance :)

Hi

 

Thank you for replies.

 

I had read other posts and saw that it was rare they would take action..

.just my luck that it's me with the big fat CCJ I'm now stuck with for the next 6 years :(

 

The bailiff said that fredrickson are a private bailiff and they could double the amount owed.

 

I rang Northampton and they said once it leaves them it's in the hands of Royal Mail so chances are it got lost in the post,

the judgement was entered in October 2014.

 

Total debt is £500+ they are asking for £172 now and the remainder later

 

. I could cry...there's no way I had a bill that big on a contract that ended.

 

I feel like I'm being bullied, too many companies involved.

You should have had a letter from the bailiffs 'notice of enforcement' giving you 7 day to make arrangements to pay.

 

 

If you did not receive the letter, you would not have to pay the enforcement fee of £235.

It would just be the compliance stage fee of £75 plus the amount of the CCJ.

This link above should help you.

You can apply to your nearest County court to stop the bailiff action by completing form N245 and asking to pay in instalments.

You can of course decide to apply for the CCJ to be set aside,

but you would need to make a case about the debt not being owed or there being a problem with it.

 

 

It cannot just be that you did not receive the court claim,

unless you find out that the court were given a wrong address and Lowell/3 mobile had the correct address.

We could do with some help from you.

The claim was served to my home address where I have lived for the last 14 years but I never received it.

 

The county court bailiff turned up to my home address.

I was supposed to call him today with a decision but haven't had time.

The window of opportunity I have to contact them is 10am - 2pm, not helpful when I work full time.

 

I've looked at the link provided so will go through the options on there.

 

I looked at noddle but it asks for card details and I'm dubious about entering my card number into a website

especially when it asks for the security code on the back.

 

I'm not confident with this one, it seems that there are too many firms involved

and I don't trust them to give me the info which, so far, they haven't.

 

It's a lot of money to cough up in a short amount of time

and I haven't even seen a breakdown of how they arrived at this figure.

 

I feel well and truly shafted :(

well you are not shafted

 

to me this looks very suspect

 

you should have received a letter before action

a claimform

and the CCJ.

 

if you got none of those

and you've not moved in 14yrs then someone has pulled a fastone on you.

 

perfect reason to set the CCJ aside.

 

 

get the N244 form for the set a side and N245 should suspend all enforcement

Its all gone quiet on this front,

 

 

I spoke to the bailiff and he was adamant that I either had to pay up or pay to set aside,

told him I would have a think about it and call him back.

 

 

That was 2 weeks ago, I haven't called and neither has he

which I find unusual because these people are usually relentless!

 

 

I received a response back from Lowell along with the £1 PO I sent

they stated they weren't handling the account and it was fredrickson,

 

 

I told them it was their name on the court letter so they had a duty to supply the info,

instead they said it wasn't bound by CCA as it was for a mobile phone.

 

 

got another letter yesterday from a DCA called BPO who are now trying to collect and this is for a different amount again.

..to be honest I am just going to ignore them for now, my Blemain battle is the one that is getting prioritised!

 

Out of curiousity, do you think the court have passed it back to Lowell?

:???:
