    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

I am going through an ongoing dispute with Sainsbury’s re them not backdating my default. This is my complaint 
 

Quote

 

I would like to further the following complaint registered initially in September last year.

 

  • You18 Sep 2019 7:05PM

    I entered into a Debt Management Plan via Stepchange in 2018.

    Having checked my credit report I have noted that you have not defaulted my account in relation to this DMP despite going into arrears.

    The ICO advises that as a general guide defaults should be recorded between 3–6 months after the arrears were first incurred.

    All my other creditors have defaulted me within 12 months of entering the DMP which has resulted in the correct entries being on my file for the correct amount of time, namely 6 years

     

    I would ask that you consider amending my record and recording a default at the correct time on my file.

    Obviously the failure to record the default has an adverse effect on my credit rating as the debt will remain on my credit report now 6 years from the date that the debt is paid in full which is due to be 2022 and therefore will remain there until 2028 .I look forward to hearing from you as to whether you are willing to amend my records and mark the account as defaulted. 

     

    Even though I kept reiterating my complaint and saying I wanted this to be in writing only due to my anxiety and mental health Sainsbury’s bank still Insisted on me calling.

     

    I suffer badly with anxiety, panic disorder and depression and have done so and been Medicated for this since 2008, shortly when my money problems started. As I am sure you can understand speaking about this on the phone gives me a large amount of stress and makes it impossible for me to think clearly and retain information afterward.

     

    Further to these emails I was asked AGAIN to call Sainsbury's, I felt I was getting nowhere and forced into this method of communication.

    I spoke to an advisor who insisted that AP markers were not as bad as a default on my account and would not drop off longer.

     

    I am sure you can find a recording of this conversation and listen to it yourself.

    I was made to feel stupid for this complaint and that I was in the wrong and that for my account to be defaulted would be much worse for my credit score on the future. The lady almost scoffed at what I was saying.

     

    I came off the call and felt silly and wrong, I decided to leave it as I thought a trained member of your staff had told me otherwise.

    I have now spoken to various trained professionals who have indeed confirmed I was right in my original complaint and that the AP markers will adversely affect my account for longer ! I am very upset I have been given false information which led me not to carry on with my complaint adversely affecting my credit and ultimately my future. 

     

    Please can this complaint be passed on to someone higher in the department who understands how this works.

    I would like my account defaulted from the missed payment dates in 2018 and a response to my complaint ASAP.

    I hope you can appreciate this Is an urgent and serious matter.

 

  •  

     

    - Sainsbury’s have got back to me and said they won’t uphold the complaint.

    They say the advise given about AP markers affecting your account less than defaults is correct which it clearly isn’t and that I didn’t state at the time when I was requesting everything in writing my mental health issues they were still ok to insist on my calling instead of communicating with me in writing which I think is incorrect, if I have requested communication in writing then they should do it whether they know the ins and outs of my health.

     

    can anyone advise on how I can respond to them? 
     

    TIA

poss your best idea might be to totally stop paying all debts with AP markers being registered

then when it is defaulted resume if they've complied to a cca request and we've checked it.

 

that way atleast you're are guaranteed in 6yrs the debt will vanish from your file

 

 

from your other thread..

 

there is no remit in the ICO guidelines that states 3-6mts anymore, that went out the window under the revised guideline which i think happened in 2014 

 

didn't know you were raising a complain, would have advised not too but ask nicely.

then if not, the above is the way to go.

 

as for AP markers not being as damaging as a default, poss for the immediate short terms credit score/worthiness that might well be, but as you point too and is explained in your other thread, that AP status can remain showing on the summary of a debt for upto 12yrs even when the debt is settled , IMHO that's far more damaging in the longterm that a default that cause the whole account to vanish on it's 6th birthday.

Yes that’s my point but they keep dismissing it saying the opposite so I don’t know how to argue back.

My argument is they did and still are giving me false advice which I took and in turn put me in a worse financial situation.

 

I have the CCA for this and all DSAR info.

This debt is now paid in full

its says nothing is owed now

so cant be harming your file?

 

so you HAVE paid it off or are you simply assuming £0 upto date means that?

 

it could also mean the debt has been sold on to a debt buyer , so the OC has now written it off?

5 minutes ago, Halfwaythere said:

No I have paid it all off it’s with the original creditor. 

 

I don’t understand I thought that it being an arrangement to pay account would affect my account for 6 years after it’s was paid off,

I paid it off last month

 

so which is it?

Think it’s a way of listing my accounts C1 C2 etc 

 

none of the details seem to have changed other than the amount owed. My credit score has gone from very poor to fair but I just don’t understand how it works. Don’t want to except they are right because I don’t think they are

well there is no default and as your score has gone up, whatever was there must have gone....so can't now be hurting you

let things be.

as i said and in the other thread

the AP markers in the calendar section can't be seen by anyone by you and whomever owns a debt.

if the status makes no mention of it and as you say it says £0 etc, then your are one of the lucky one

esp as your rating has improved since paying it off.

 

i know sadly that many CRA providers have now changed the format of layout and it's a bit difficult to understand sometimes even for me on my old debts too!!

 

have you check any other providers?
