    • 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.

I am just on my way to the post office to send my SAR recorded delivery. I put all charges on my account up to and including today....it was easier than having to confuse them by adding charges later. Good luck with your claim. Hopefully we should all have some good news in the not to distant future!!

i am just in the process of filling out my excel spreadsheet with the full amount of the charges that i have been charged but should i be taking off £5.00 which should be the standard charge for being overdrawn or shall i just go for the full amount of the charge in total

The only thing i can say is with reading lots of threads on here is everyone advises going for the full amount, like they always say its your money rightfully. I know on mine that i sent ,my overdraft was £200 but ive just totalled all charges and amounts ive had and asked for it all back, same with my boyfriend his od is £500 and again we always go over that but i just added every charge for the full amount. Hope this helps in any way.

Hi Marie,

 

Add every charge, why would you want to deduct £5 from them, at the end of the day its your money......ALL OF IT..!

 

Get it all back and enjoy spending it. :D

 

Dont forget you can keep adding charges up until you file at court. But dont add the interest yet.

Yes as with credit cards OFT made a report with possible fair amount reported anywhere from 2.50 to 12 depending what you are reading. Credit card companys are trying to offer the difference but claims are still being paid for full amount.

 

go for the lot and good luck.

Send the second letter. It is just a stalling letter from them. Ignore it.

 

It is still your timescale. 14 days between each letter.

I've been messed around too.. I was told that something had been "keyed in wrong" which is BS in my opinion as the correspondence I've received had my name and address and correct account number on it. They said it would take up to another 40 days to get my statements! :o

 

LBA for non compliance went off today.

Marie - these guys who have advised you really know what they are talking about... they have been there and done it so to speak and have given much help to me, so I agree just stick with time scales, and send your next letter.

In my case, my prelim went on 14th of this month, no response as yet - LBA due to go on 28th of this month...so think we are quite close together in time scales and management of whole thing...keep in touch, or look out for my thread perhaps we can support each other a bit, and compare experiences from Halifax over the investigations??

Good luck!!!

Hi marie I phoned Halifax after 7 days from LBA got nowt but they then range back 2 days before I would be starting court process and they agreed to full refund I have signed form and am waiting payment.

 

So yes I think it would be worthwhile though some peeps have not got anywhere this way and my claim was for £2295 this is about middle ground value wise for claims with the Halifax

Hi, go into the bank templates library, and look at Money Claim on line and N1

 

The difference is one you do on-line (obviously!) but it doesn't have a great deal of room on it if you need to write a lot, and the other is one you actually submit into the court yourself, but it does give you more room if you need it.

Marie 31 - have you done your Court action yet - looks like we may be on target to hit around about together...are you giving extra days for bank holiday - or just hitting the court on target days?

Advice & support desperately needed at this stage - how do you feel??

Hope to hear from you soon!!

have received letter from halifax stating that they are still investigating matter and will let me know before the 4th May, foned them this morning and they advised the same thing, am just about to try and put a claim form through as relocating to ireland just after the end of the month so the money would come in very handy.

 

not very confident about filling the form in to be quite honest, found a website called moneyclaim.gov.uk and they take you through process but unsure of how to deal with the fees and stuff

It can get very confussing if you use other sites along side this one.

You will get all the help here. Are you doing mcol. If so this should help...

If you are doing N1, the local court might help you.

Marie - we are at the same stage...totally - just if you are like me the MCOL looked so frightening, it was a can I, can't I feeling...but I took the plunge, and it has gone, and do I feel so much better - the info Sea side lady has given you literally talks you through it.. you will be surprised honest, just the first time I read it, I felt totally out of my depth, but kept reading up on everything and gained strength from survivors, and then went back to it, and I could see where it was coming from...the info is amazing!!

If you ever fancy a comparison on situ stages ... you know where I am!!

Good luck!!
