    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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?
    • OMG! 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.

Hello,

 

Just wondering if any of you know whether this is possible.

 

I have a card that allows me to hold balances in different currencies and transfer / exchange between them at the inter bank rate with no fees.

 

If this card is holding a value of Euros, does anyone know if it possible to withdraw these anywhere ?

 

Would a bureau De change allow such a transaction ?

Is there anywhere that can and will facilitate the withdrawal of Euros or allow the purchase of them with payment in Euros ?

 

Would like to have some cash in hand before traveling abroad and would like to take advantage of the favorable exchange rate and lack of fees if possible.

 

Hoping some more experienced travelers may be able to advise.

 

Many Thanks.

That is a very interesting account. Who has provided it please?

 

I think the you will have to ask the account provider what the rules are. Maybe it is on their website. Could you give us more details, thanks

This is pre pay master card.

 

Funds are loaded to the card and can then be exchanged between a variety of currencies instantly.

The card can be used at home, abroad, at ATM's and online.

Funds can also be withdrawn to your bank account

 

Balances can be held in a multiple currencies and are automatically exchanged to the local currency at time of use.

 

Obviously, I could wait until I arrived and withdraw Euros from an ATM there.

I would however like to have a some currency on me before traveling as an ATM might not be readily available before the need for cash.

I use a travelex cash card which sounds similar. I normally withdraw Euros at an ATM or just use it to purchase as normal card.

I would not go to a BdC as I suspect they would charge fees for doing it.

 

Also some machines work out the card is UK based and ask if you want it transferred to Sterling, decline this option alway choose local currency.

No, euros from a euro cash machine, but no fees and bank rate exchange when you load them in the first place

I believe there are ATM's around the London underground that allow the withdrawal of Euros.

Don't know if any fees are involved.

Not really an option.

 

I know I can with withdraw them when I get there but want to have some Euro cash in my pocket before traveling in case there is a need for money before the chance to use an ATM arises.

 

I have been in touch with the card / account provider and they are not aware of anywhere that you can withdraw Euros etc here.

They also believe a BdC will charge a fee, even for a Euro to Euro transaction.

 

Looks like it will have to be done the old fashion way and will have to buy them with sterling.

Will just limit how much I exchange to enough to cover traveling expenses like food, drink, taxis etc and withdraw more as required from local ATM's.

Who's card is it, you may find if you go to one of their BdC they may not charge (assuming they have a shop)

 

I know you can never say never, but most airports, train stations etc have ATM's and most methods of transport will take sterling so plane, train etc you may find you don't need it, but changing a few £ will not cost much if you would be happier

Yea, I realise this but would rather have cash on me for that cup of coffee between flights etc.

Wouldn't want to take the chance of being stuck in foreign airport with no money or taking the chance of them accepting sterling.

I've never heard of a UK ATM dispensing euros, but I'm happy to be proved wrong.

 

Have you looked at someone like the Post Office for buying a small amount of euros?

ATM's on the London underground operated by Raphaels Bank dispense both Pounds & Euros

 

Having checked the latest exchange rates, Debenhams actually come in top of the list.
