    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

Hi all, has anybody ever claimed illegal charges a second time from the same bank? HSBC gave me charges back last July, but since then at every opportunity they have piled on the charges for the slightest thing. I estimate they owe me at least £900 to date. With my finances it is impossible to stay in credit...oh how I tried. I am angry and am contemplating writing to Mr langdale and asking for the money back. I don't have a parachute account as my credit rating is so bad I don't know whether I would get another account??

Recently, due to being overdrawn solely on bankcharges they did not pay my gas and electricity DD, so british gas have now cancelled that payment method.

Is it worth going back for round two? can anyone recommend a bank that will give poor credit ratings an account? Let me know your thoughts on this. I have been with HSBC 27 years, and have 130,000 morgage with this lot, will that carry any weight when it comes to account closures?

Cheers

hi william

welcome to the forum. when you said you claimed your charges last july - was this through the courts or were you lucky enough to ask for them and get them back.

by the way, the charges aren't illegal - they're unlawful, two different things!

natwest do a step up account which you can apply online in about 10 minutes. basic account with no frills, no overdrafts, cheque book or owt, just a hole in the wall card (solo debit card).

hsbc usually close your account if you claim a 2nd time - i'll put this theory to the test - i've got two claims going through at the moment, one which is nearing submission for the aq, the other nearing lba stage. i've already got my parachute account up and running so i'm not really fussed what hsbc come up with when it's over!!

If i've been helpful in any way....then tip my scales over there!

Hi William, I used to have my mortgage with HSBC too, I moved it 2 years ago. It has never made any difference to the way they have treated me.

Try looking at this thread

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/13832-do-you-need-parachute.html

It lists the alternative bank accounts that are available at the moment and the terms and conditions these accounts have.

Hello William.

I have claimed 3 times, they closed my account on the second.

My mortgage with them was unaffected.

I will be taking action against them because of the closure.

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general/63646-alliance-leicester-fined-fos.html

all the best with your claims.

I have been with HSBC 27 years, and have 130,000 morgage with this lot, will that carry any weight when it comes to account closures?
this means nothing... they will shut your account

Thanks everyone. I originally claimed last July, hsbc coughed up after the LBA, but since then they have charged me for everything at the slightest opportunity. I need parachute account, the co-op sounds good because their charges are only £18.50 should I get hit by them, about half of what hsbc charge. I know it is best not to go overdrawn, but after my outgoings I don't have much to spend. I need a bank account which I can pay bills at various times of the month, not direct debits because I get paid every 28 days, and a small pension which goes in on the 10th, so direct debits are too rigid and that is what is causing the problems, the dates of payday and d/d day are not marrying up!! Therefore hsbc return them, charge me, the give more charges etc etc etc

So what a bummer, but hsbc are still making a furtune out of me, and it is p***ing me off. Will investigate parachute accounts more

Cheers for now

just a little thought william... would it be worth looking into a secure homes account - as they spread your payments over the year to cover any bills???
