    • 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.

Hi everyone after a bit of advice.

 

Lowells have two debts of mine for the last couple of years.

 

Brief break down on what happened in 2015 - 2016 I moved house and then had a down turn in work (self employed) and could only pay for essentials.

 

I did have a DMP which was paid till 2018.

 

One of them was for Studio card and wasn't on my DMP, the last payment to them was June 2015 and was defaulted in Jan 2016. When will this debt be Statue Barred? I am confused as it it seems to have changed lately. 

Lowells have been sent a CCA for this one and couldn't produce one.

 

The other one was with Vanquis and was paid via DMP at £5 till 2018 when I couldn't pay anything, the last full payment was June 2015 and then the reduced payment was paid until 2018, this one wasn't defaulted till 2018 is this right?

I've sent a SAR to Vanquis to see all the details they have etc.

typically an original creditor should issue a default notice within 3-6mts of entering a DMP or last payment date, not some months or years letter.

 

so the statute barred date running from the DN date+14 days, which is the current wisdom, could be challenged should this ever make court.

 

but until the debt owners comply with an enforceable CCA , they are going nowhere.

Thanks DX,

 

I started the DMP in 2015 and  (Vanquis - Lowell)  have registered the default in 2018. After reading some other posts Vanquis don't seem to issue default notes if you go into a DMP for some reason.

Well if they don't issue a DN then how are you supposed to know how to rectify your account?

Failed at the first hurdle.....if they don't follow the guidelines that is.

 

The studio card is gone, ignore that, June it will be SB.

All the SAR has arrived.

 

It shows they accepted the lower payments in June 2015, as the DMP was through Stepchange the payments seem to to have arrived late to Vanquis and was always in arrears so the finally defaulted it is July 2017 so where Lowell got the 2018 default I don't understand.

Funny enough the SAR shows all the letter from 2011 but not the earlier ones where they put your limit up ever couple of months.

Yep ignore, the next letter will be ''leter of claim'', then you hit them with a CCA request and a list of questions and hey presto, it goes radio silence....

 

That is IF they follow the same MO as mine...

At least you got a response, I've had two letters of claim from Overdales, but still no response to my CCA request.

 

I'm in two minds as to whether these LOC's are bluff and bluster, as naff all has happened after their arbitrary 30 day time limit.

Still nothing from either.

 

I have been looking through the SAR that Vanquis sent me and in it is the default notice that is dated 18 months before the Lowell have registered on my credit file, hows is this possible? Would of it been when they took the debt over?

 

Thanks again

Get onto the credit reference agency and put a ''notice of correction'' on there, and advise them that the information they are reporting is factually incorrect and they will be wise to correct it or you will be seeking damages off them.

 

Are you certain it isn't just lowlifes updating the file?

 

The date of default is placed there by the OC, so Vanquis, then when they farm it out to powerless DCA's they 'update' the file with their details, the default date stays the same.

 

As you now have evidence, when was the default date? And how much longer have you got until it drops off your file?

I do have my credit file open in front that says 31st Oct 18 for the default.

 

But the letter from Vanquis that arrived in recent SAR I did is dated 31st July 17.

 

Problem is I see how I can complain about this as this would be admitting the debt, while I am waiting on my CCA request from the PAP paperwork
