    • 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.

Yes. Although on private land they have lawful authority - care to give any more detail?

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

Hello.

 

What is lawful authority?

 

My car is on private land inside locked gates - off any highway/road etc

 

Yes, the enforcement officer can remove goods from the debtors premises. In your case, it would seem that the field is part of your property and therefore, it is not considered 'private land' and the enforcement agent is legally entitled to attend the property and 'take control of goods'.

 

I know from previous posts of yours a month or so back that you have very strong feelings indeed about bailiffs and refuse point blank to deal with them. But putting these feelings aside, it would be helpful if you could provide some background information.

 

You have not said what happened after the vehicle was clamped:

 

Did the enforcement agent make a Controlled Goods Agreement?

 

Was the vehicle taken away?

 

Was the vehicle owned by the debtor?

 

Was the vehicle subject to finance?

They can clamp your motor on your land but not on your neighbours land. If you answer BA's questions above nore targeted advice can be given.

We could do with some help from you.

If the car belongs to the OP and has nothing to do with the Ltd company debt being chased, then what is the process they need to follow ? Do they have to make an application to the court or does the HCEO have to remove the clamp, as the car is not something that can be seized, if is shown to be private goods and nothing to do with the Ltd company ?

Wonder if some EAs are deliberately seizing personal goods for Ltd Co debts, and hoping the person doesn't know that the EA shouldn't do that?

 

A sort of Sherfarce type tactic.

In cases of any 'dispute' it really is a simple matter of making a 'Part 85' Claim. This is done by letter only and does not involve a court (or a court application). In the vast majority of cases, if the application is properly made and evidence provided, the vehicle will be released. Only in very rare cases will the dispute need to be resolved in court. There have been only a handful of such cases.

If this should turn out to be nothing to do with the ltd company so shouldn't be clamped, keep in mind that any out of pocket expenses such as bus or taxi fare while the car is clamped should be billed to the bailiff company. So make sure you ask for and keep all receipts.

if you cant please can someone else please.

If Dodgeball had stated that it is against the law to engage with a bailiff (or whichever terms of words were used) then he has made an error.

 

However, that error will will not affect you in any way at all given that you have already stated that you will always refuse to engage with or pay a bailiff.

 

The correct position, is as outlined in the following post that I made last evening.

A good while after my original questions - no one of you said anything about my health and literally bleeding whilst all this was going on. ?

I was in the right and I proved it - the so called high court ea got owned by me!!!

 

i went to court - and won!

hello fellow womble!!

 

the car actually has a loan on it so they cannot touch it - which is brilliant.

my advice to anyone that 'owns a car' is to get a small loan against it - so if you do hits the skids in life - they cant touch it!!

 

the facts of my case are that the old ltd co we had had long dissolved with no debts -a chancer builder came against us for his debts! blah blah - the hceos chased us - as per my previous posts - nearly killed me! i beat him though!!!!!

 

do you know what....i i ever get clamped i will just ring my massive family and get one of them to cut the clamp off

= and i will take the so called consequences! i dont give a !

Just a point or two.

 

If you ar referring to bill of sale, you are correct in that the bailiff will generally not seize the car as it belongs to the bailee, however under the bill of sale act 1889 this dealer canr if it is under an enforcement action, so I would be careful about advertising the fact.

 

So you had a company that was dissolved with no debts, but a "chancer" builder obviously thought otherwise, imagine the cheek, wanting money owed to him to be paid, some people !

 

Cutting off a clamp is a criminal offence, as is theft of a vehicle under control.

DO NOT PAY UPFRONT FEES TO COLD CALLERS PROMISING TO WRITE OFF YOUR DEBTS

Unfortunately, if a vehicle is subject to a loan, finance agreement or hire purchase, then the fact remains that the vehicle can indeed be taken and it is just wrong to consider otherwise.

 

Unlike the position in previous regulations, the Taking Control of Goods Regulations 2013 specifically state that goods can be taken if there is a 'beneficial' interest. Put simply, if there is a vehicle worth £5,000 and it is subject to a loan of £1,500 then it can be argued that the vehicle has a 'beneficial interest' of £3,500.

you are talking rubbish

 

They might be talking rubbish.

 

However, when it comes to me deciding who is talking rubbish I can only go on what has been posted.

Do I go with the answer that gives context and reasoned argument?

Do I go with the answer that doesn't give context and information in support, only contradiction ("you are wrong" or "rubbish").

 

I'd go with the latter only if I already knew why it was right, otherwise, I'm sticking with the former.

 

I may well factor in any other relevant posts.
