    • 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?

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.

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..

So sorry

but just to check

do i write to all these about the debts and try get deal to reduce monthly payments and stop all interest first or do I stop payments then write to them ? 

 

Same if I was going for the DRO option

do I just sort out and apply for that first or stop all payments then apply for it .

you can't continue the payments eitherway ...think about it...............

so it makes no odds if you stop payments now does it...

 

it can't harm you by stopping else they'd be no point in either dro or pro-rata as it shows either would thus be pointless

 

pers i'd go DRO simply contact an approved intermediary

Ok thanks guys for all the help & advice

 

I think I will go the DRO option but will open a new bank account somewhere else first etc. 

 

The only other things im little worried about is reading on the DRO it says about I wont be able to apply for credit but what about things like my car insurance as thats classed as credit paying it monthly

 

Plus they say i must not have assets or car worth over £1,000 so what about things like my car worth around 2.5k and as said before when my father passed away he left me his camper that I cant part with its worth about 4k and what about things in house and jewellery etc ??

 

Can they come to house and check and so on

Depends what the actual book value is, I'm guessing a few hundred quid either way won't make a difference. Besides I would imagine the fact that you are a carer and your wife has a serious disease might make them think twice about taking it away. It's not the time of Charles Dickens anymore.

 

It's also worth noting that we are in the middle of the biggest economic and health crisis in our lifetimes, half the country is getting behind on loans etc. You might be surprised how much forebearance there is right now. If you wrote the pro- rata letters. You have nothing to lose and could still go on a DRO if you wanted to.

 

Whatever you do, your credit will be hurt for a few years, but no matter how bad mine got, believe me far far far worse than yours, i was never declined monthly car insurance. 

 

Not saying a DRO isn't right for you but your no thinking clearly right now, and your going off in all directions and in my opinion using a JCB to try and crack a nut.

We could do with some help from you.

Calm down you are acting like you are under pressure. You are under no pressure.

 

Bad decisions are made in this situation. Take the weekend off, it will make no difference.

 

These things move at a glacial speed, you are acting like, it’s all going down tomorrow.

ive applied for the DRO and its all being set up ready just got to send them final bank statement etc now then its all systems go.

 

But back to paypal

ive had no contact from them at all in all this time until today

ive had in post a letter from Moorcroft debt recovery limited in stockport saying they have been instructed by paypal to recover the debt and are asking me to contact them straightaway and make payment or agree to come to a payment plan and telling me they are now dealing with it and not to ignore this letter.

 

I can upload copy of letter if want.

 

So my question again now is 

I dont want the DRO all going through and then later on paypal comes back to bite me and be left having to pay then i wish I had added it to the DRO.

 

So what do I do ?

 

Do I add it to DRO or still ignore it

Link to post
Share on other sites

it can't hurt you to add it to the DRO

but i think you will find as its a foreign registered company/debt

it won't mean a thing to them and the DRO will be all but ignored

 

as you safely can with a PP balance debt that does not involve a PP UK credit registered company.

 

there are no examples of PP going anywhere near a courtroom in the uk themselves...

nor of them selling the debt to a UK debt buyer and them trying.

choice is yours.

 

well done on the DRO

 

please keep us updated as it will be a useful thread for people thinking of a DRO to follow your example upon how it goes.

I'm in load of debt (too much for a DRO) and "owe" paypal more than you. The way I see it is you never made any agreement with them to borrow money, they aren't a credit company, and in fact in your case someone else fraudulently (if true) did it.

I really care not what they threaten as I can't see them having a leg to stand on whatsoever.

Wow. What makes you think that a camper van and jewellery don't count as assets in a DRO?

Who are you applying for a DRO with as you are not eligible? You have a car worth 2.5k and a camper van worth 4.5k so you cannot legally apply for a DRO. If you haven't disclosed those assets, you are commiting a criminal offence.

 

My car probably is not worth 2.5k it is to me but to sell it probably get much less .

 

as for the jewellery i meant the wifes etc but should not be counted really as its hers not mine

plus with the camper since my father passed it was registered in the wifes name so again should not effect and be counted

it will be 3 years next month i inherited it but logbook etc was put in wifes name shortly after my father passed because she and my daughter would go off in it for a day here and there down seaside etc while i was busy and work so she used it more than me hence why put in her name

I think you're on very dodgy ground applying for a DRO as the camper van being in your wife's name doesn't mean it isn't your asset. I hope you're on good terms with your wife because essentially you are legally declaring that you gave the camper van to her and no longer have any interest in it. She owns it, can do what she wants with it and can sell it without you being able to do anything.
