    • 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.

Hi All

 

My partner no longer lives in the UK, but has received a few emails from an old (believe pdl) debt over the last few months relating to a CCJ which was granted after she left the country.

 

The DCA are called TM LEGAL SERVICES

 

They have now sent the following:

 

Following our recent letter, you have failed to contact the office to set up a repayment on your County Court Judgment.

We are now in the process of contacting your employer to verify your status of employment.

 

Once we have confirmed the status of your employment, we will complete an N337 Form (Request for Attachment of Earnings Order) and present this to the court. We anticipate this form will be completed in the next few days.

 

After this form has been completed and sent to the courts, we are unable to retract the application and your employer may be informed of your County Court Judgment. Once the Attachment of Earnings has been applied for, the courts will issue you an N56 Form (Form for Replying to an Attachment of Earnings Application Statement of Means). You must fill in this form, giving details of your financial circumstances. These include your employer's details. You are required to include your partner's financial circumstances also. You must return this to the court within eight days.

 

It is an offence not to send back the N56 Form or to give false information within the form. If you do not send back the form, the county court bailiffs will serve you with an order to complete. If you still do not return the form then you will be sent a notice of summons to attend a court hearing. At this hearing you will be required to explain why you have not supplied information about your financial circumstances that you were requested to. You must attend this hearing. If you do not attend the hearing, the court can issue a warrant for your arrest and you may be brought to court or even jailed for up to 14 days.

 

To stop our application, we require you to contact the office by 7.00pm today Friday 29th September 2017 on the number below to discuss the options avaliable to you..

 

Our contact number is 01253 523460 (option 2) and our opening hours are Monday to Thursday 8.00am to 7.00pm & Friday 8.00am to 7.00pm. Note, we are extending are opening hours to give you a final oppurtunity to avoid the Attachment of Earnings.

 

Pretty scary sounding here, mentioning arrest etc.

 

What is the best way to approach this.

She does not live in the UK,

is not employed in the UK,

but we are willing to potentially set up a payment plan,

but are wary of giving them much info.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Ring them and agree a payment plan...no need to advise any whereabouts ...just ask for payment details/amounts owing.Check the initial CCJ to see if the amount is correct and the same as they are requesting then set up a payment arrangement.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hang fire here - Not employed in the UK or live here. My understanding is that an AOE wont apply?

So why pay? Where did you move to?

 

How much is it for on the CCJ? Id laugh if they ever attempted enforcement action for £750 etc (Thats what these PDLs usually were up to as a maximum for a lender to loan out) - If youre overseas, chances are that will cost them thousands more for such a pitiful amount...

CCJ is for £850. Plan on moving back in the next couple of years so would be nice to clear it, and their threat of arrest is not sitting well.

 

An offer of £50/month was given to them today and the email response was:

 

Thank you for your email.

 

As the County Court process has been initiated on your account, you would have to contact our litigation department on 01253 523460 to advise you of the necessary steps on resolving the outstanding claim.

 

We are open Monday to Thursday 8.00am to 7.00pm and 8:00am to 5:30pm Friday.

 

The litigation department can also discuss any payment options available to start repaying the County Court Judgement.

 

Please visit https://www.tm-legalservices.co.uk/payment to find the most convenient way to make payments to your account.

 

To find out more information on managing your County Court Judgement or to find out what happens if you do not keep to the terms of a County Court Judgement, please visit: https://www.tm-legalservices.co.uk/county-court-judgment

 

You can also pay 24 hours a day using our new payment line. Please call 01253 845 880 and have your agreement number and card details ready to pay your agreed amount.

 

Anything agreed I want in writing via email so how exactly do we proceed with this..

I thought exactly that, ridiculous email isn't it!

 

The £50 is about the maximum of the limit when it comes to affordability, but their email response has not encouraged me, I mean we offered them £50 a month, and they ignore the offer and just say call us to discuss options, when for years they have been emailing asking us to pay them.. and I want it in writing

Why dont you pay them £10 a month? They may have a CCJ but they can do naff all while you live overseas... And for £850 they wont go enforcement action. Just tell them you are overseas :)

f they do issue a AOE - It costs them £100 i believe which means that they will have wasted £100 they may never get back...

 

But why not just pay them £10 as above and tell them thats all you can afford. If it comes to an I+E then only a judge will order that and also they wont see anything of it :)

If it were me, i would just email them back saying that i have been resident abroad since xxxx and have no intention of returning to the UK. That if they want to negotiate anything, they should pass the email to their department that deals with litigation and it is up to them to make an offer. Otherwise, you will ignore any future correspondence, as you are out of jurisdiction.

 

If they don't bother, then in a few years if you return to the UK, you can settle the CCJ if it still an active issue. The problem with an unpaid CCJ on your record, is obtaining any credit accounts or renting any property. If you intend to rent in your name and any credit check will be done, then you might want to pay the CCJ before you return.

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..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Left the UK in 2013 with a few things on payment plans, this was one of them, left due to an overseas job and to be honest this one got completely forgotten.

 

We had no idea there was a CCJ until we recently checked the credit file and saw it, had numerous emails but thought they were all the usual threats so did not pay too much attention

And Arrest you? Yes at extremes but naturally it wont get that far here... So dont fall for their threats.

 

If the company has threatened you with arrest/prison in writing, you should contact the Financial Ombudsman and make a formal complaint. Then you should contact the company to make a complaint and ask for compensation for distress due to their lies and threats.

 

The UK is a signatory to the ECHR and:

 

Protocol 4 ARTICLE 1

Prohibition of imprisonment for debt: No one shall be deprived of his liberty merely on the ground of inability to fulfill a contractual obligation.
