    • 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?

    • 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 just wanna say what a great site this is. Found it at the end of last week and have been studying it over the weekend. Sent off my letter to Barclays for DPA yesterday recorded delivery and know it was delivered today cos i just checked so fingers crossed this is the start of successfully getting back all the money they have taken from me. It is a pity that you can only ask for 6yrs worth of charges because i have been banking with them for about 18yrs and hate to think what they have taken from me over that time. Wish i had listened to my mum about keeping all those statements nice and safe. LOL Anyway got another claim underway with another bank as well which is not for as much but has a default on it as well so hoping to get that removed in the end. Then its the credit cards.

Got a letter responding to my DPA letter from a Mr Peter Townsend. Which i will try and post on here when i work out how to. Basically it says that they will be sending me copies of my statements free of charge but the library letter i sent them is a load of tosh. Is this a new response from Barclays or has everybody got this response.

Data Protection Act

 

I refer to your letter dated 8 may, which was pasted to me for comment due to your request for certain information under the terms Data Protection Act("the DPA").

Please be aware that the bank is not under any obligation to present information according to any particular format. Therefore, your request to assemble a schedule of charges is turned aside. You may of course obtain this data from copy statements and these will be supplied to you shortly without charge on this occasion. In the circumstances you cheque is returned herewith.

As regardfs your mention of "manual interventions", the DPA does not oblige the bank to comment about internal policies and procedures. Furthermore, in the context of managing transactions arising from out of order accounts the bank does not hold information you have requested in a form that would be coverewd by the DPA. Whilst aggregated information is retained for statistical purposes, this would not constitute "personal data" under the DPA and therefore would not be covered by a s.7 DPA subject access request. For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that we do not generally rrcord information in a way that ois caught by the provisions of the DPA, is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention.

Notwithstanding the above the bank is of course entirely willing to supply the general information that should be disclosed due to the DPA. To initiate the process Barclays will require payment of a £10 feee per individual which should be provided by cheque, payable to BArclays PLC, directly to this department. Upon payment of the fee(s) the relevant information will be supplied as promptly as possible.

 

Blah blah blah

Fairly standard response from Townsend. The usual delaying tactics.

Don't let them phase you. Keep to YOUR timetable.

Good luck.

I had a similar letter but without this bit...

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the fact that we do not generally rrcord information in a way that ois caught by the provisions of the DPA, is in no way an admission that there was no such manual intervention.

 

I sent the tenner and got a huge pile of around 400 sheets of info regarding my account, all personal stuff, cheque books and paying in books requested, and much more, much of which in a language very difficult to make sense of! I have poured through the info and found nothing relating to manual intervention except a 'notepad entry' about two paid referral fees that were repaid to me due to the bank's error, and i think that was a phone call i made if memory serves me!

 

Anyway, i personally wouldn't bother sending the tenner again as it's fairly obvious that they aren't going to give you what you're after by the letter they sent you...anyone else got any views on this?

Their defense and the AQ form turned up last friday. Have filled that in as well and will post it off this friday when i get paid. Tho tomorrow i will phone them and see if they will negotiate a settlement because they seem quite willing to do this.

This is a guide to a basic court bundle that you will need http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/33060-basic-court-bundle.html

 

however as sugessted by the author of the thread it is also a very good idea to do some research of your own into what you will need.

Any help req just post here!

Just a quick question about maybe accepting a settlement from Barclays.

Have just sent in my bundle to the 2 other parties and altho its a few days late i'm hoping that the judge will accept it.

Anyway recieved a letter from barclays this morning stating that they thought my claim was weak and was destined to fail but they were willing to offer me a settlement. This figure falls about £200 short of the figure i reckon they owe me in charges about £400 short of the figure including court costs and about £600 of the figure if i included the 8% interest that would be applied by the court.

Now i'm wondering what i should do.

 

I'm not worried about going to court but if i could avoid it would be nice.

Now would i be within my rights to negotiate with them for the full amount including court costs and maybe the 8% interest i would get if i won in court. Or does anyone think thats being a bit to cheeky.

 

Now i'm pretty confident that i'm gonna win in court and this is just them trying to get out of going to court.

 

Any advice would be appreciated.
