    • 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.

in one way it's a very bad thing and has been seriously compounded by wherever you seem to have been getting advice from since you came to the UK. this is backed up by the some of you comment here like i don't want them finding me, i don't want to give any real details.

 

the owner of a debt could quite legally pick any of your old address and quite legally file a court claim.

that's called  a backdoor CCJ and you'll know nothing about until High Court Bailiffs arrive at your door.

whatever a debt type, you should never be running and hiding in this predominantly computer age where information is so readily and easily available both ways.

 

the good thing is you can cut everyone's legs off and prevent the above, but you must ACT, not take 6 weeks to convince yourself sticking your head back in the sand is the best way, as it's worked till now and everything you've read till you came here supports your theory.

sadly there are 100's of backdoor CCJ threads here that prove otherwise.

 

so let's resit and go all the way back to the 1st 7days when you came here and the advice given.

send the debt owner an adapted version of our SB letter, let them work it out .

cant harm you, but legally gives then your correct address.

it's for the owner in court to prove a debt is NOT sb'd, not for you to prove it IS.

i bet that will be the last time you ever hear anything bar willy waving from CLI 

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

Thing is,

the debt owner does have my current address in the UK as I gave them this in 2013 by telephone when I called them just after I moved house for threatening to publish my personal details in a local news paper and the internet.

They went ahead and did so anyway.

 

It would be light work to find these personal details on the internet if you know what to look for.

Apparently the contract that I signed at the time permitted them to do so.

 

I suspected that my rights (GDPR) were infringed upon by this act, but was not sure one way or another, so I never pressed it and let it alone out of fear.

 

Since this event, for the whole of 2014 I was receiving statements regarding the debt from the original owner consistently, but at that time, I assumed it was statute barred then since I had not paid for over 6 years and never responded.

 

Sometime during this period (my best guess is around 2014), while I was still receiving statements at my current address I called over the phone to let them know that I believed the debt to be SB'ed.

 

They claimed that it was not since I had

1) made a payment in 2013, and

2) they have an email from me with my name printed, admitting that I owned the debt and will arrange to pay them. They then confirmed my current address again.

Both these things they claimed would have reset the SB window.

 

At this time, I checked my old statements and as they claimed, there indeed was an anomalous  payment made to the account at this time.

 

I am absolutely certain that this payment could not have been by me as I was in the UK at the time of the payment and never left since I arrived, never authorized anyone to make payment,  nor wired them any payment towards the debt. 

 

As for the email, I did not at the time ask for proof of this, but am very sure that it could not have been mailed by me (It is this email that I am also worried about).

 

I have no way to prove it is not mine however.

Regardless, since this telephone conversation, their communication ended for a while.

 

That was, until CLI started contacting me. Bringing us to today.

 

My point is,

the original owner does indeed have my correct address as they have been using it for a while now to send me statements.

 

Never any threat of imminent court action, just statements. That is, until CLI.

No ...only the issuance of an actual court claim stops the limitations clock.

We could do with some help from you.

So are you saying I can get a court claim at any time from now, and there is nothing I can do about it?

There are no other intermediate steps CLI or the owner needs to do where I can push the time to action beyond 3-4 month threshold by slowing down or thwarting their response time?

 

All this considering that it is an international debt.

Don't these things take some time to process? :(

One quick question:

 

Which is the better option in response to this threat:

 

"Our client has now instructed us to proceed through the Courts to collect the above debt. Unless payment is received within 7 days, we will initiate the Pre-Action Protocol for Debt Claim which applies to this matter. Hopefully  you will seize the opportunity to settle this matte ramicably to prevent the issuing of a Claim in the County Court and the additional Court fees and Legal costs that this would generate"

 

 

1) call them and ask for NOA and DOA and tell them it is SB'ed

2) write them and ask for NOA and DOA and tell them it is SB'ed

3) wait until I get the PAPLOC claims form and then do step 2.

 

It would also be helpful if you explained why the choice you said is the best one., as I try to wrap my head around all this.

 

Thanks.
