    • 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 everybody im in the process of claiming £1400 back from abbey for bank charges for the last three years they have charged me.

 

Lucky for me im one of those people that keep things in loft for years, my sister informed me few months ago about claiming charges back from banks, at first I thought she was having me on but after reading the acticles online and reading about it in the national papers i thought why not try. So in February I did the first letter asking for my money back, as lots of you have found out yes I to received the standard letter telling me that they needed 28 days to look at my case. I then send the second letter saying that i did not accept this as I thought they was trying to prolong the case I then gave them 7 days to respond to my letter or I would be taking them to court. After 14 days I have now taken the matter up with moneyclaims and a court order has been issued so 14 days to wait

fingers crossed

 

If there is anybody out there in the same stage I am or any advise anybody can give please answer

 

thanks guys/girls

Hi FoxyLady, didnt I used to speak to you on ebay? do you live in the home of football and rugy, hence the name?

 

anyway, all you do now is wait and read up on some threads, they all follow the basic pattern, so when you get something from them, probably a copy of their defence (and I use the term lightly ;)) and perhaps a 50% offer, come back and let us know.

 

take care and welcome

Any advise would be great would love to hear from anybody in same stage of claim.

 

Would also like to thank GaryH for all his information that he has on this site you all do a great job and without your information and support I would have given up long ago on this.

hey foxy, i have received a letter saying they are defending my claim in full. also received a letter from their solicitors asking me to send them my account number & schedule of charges etc and how i've calculated them. how you getting on? i really hope it doesnt get to the stage where i have to put together that bundle which apparently takes over 20 hrs!

 

they're just doing it to drag it out, as if they havent got enough work to do. oh well, they're wasting more money paying employees to mess about with customers.

hi lula no im not the person you thought I was.

 

Just to let you no how things are going abbey filed a defence against me but i didnt receive a AQ from the court which seems to be the thing they are doing but i called local court who I asked to send one out to me not sure if that was a good idea or not but received one the following day which I have completed and returned.

 

Not sure what happens next but I have read up on plenty of threads so think I know what I am doing I have started to get my bundle ready as its going to take some time to get together everything.

 

I have had a goodwill gesture paid into my account for £275.00 which i wrote back and said I did not accept as final settlement and that I would continue to claim from a court for the full amount.

 

lucky for me my claim is under £1500 so i didnt have to pay the £100.00 extra that they have been asking for at the AQ stage.

No, but I only delivered mine on Tuesday(10th). I make it six of us have filed AQ's within 48 hours of each other, so it'll be interesting to see how things progress.

I received the Abbey's AQ last week, which was handy because it gave me a chance to see how they were thinking before I filled in mine. I asked for my claim to go fast track because it's over £8K now, so I wanted the Judge to go for standard disclosure which speeds things up, but I don't expect to hear anything for a month or so.

Hello Foxy

 

Going fast track is a positive. You can order standard disclosure from the shABBEY by going down this road! Do you think the shABBEY are going to want to disclose in court how they come to the charges they have put on you over all these years?!!!!!! I don't think so!!!!!!

Sit tight, wait for the correspondence from the court, and expect a settlement from the shABBEY a short while after!!!!!!

 

Keep us informed!

Phil:)

This is only my personal, honest opinion!

Hi Foxy, download the court bundle and assemble as per the contents page. You will probably find that you have 14 days in which to submitt to the court and Abbey. Abbey have 14 days from the date they receive yours. Within that time they will settle. Let them approch you though, personally I wouldn't contact them.

 

In another thread you asked about fast track. The main benefit from this is it requires standard disclosure and this is another reason for the bank to settle early...they will not disclose their true costs. Essentially you have all but won at this stage.

Abbey £4340.59 *WON* Jan 07

 

Abbey II MCOL 31/03/07 £8800.00

 

Please note..I AM NOT AN EXPERT ANYTHING WHAT I POST IS PURELY MY OPINION AND MAY BE WRONG IT IS JUST BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING OR EXPERIENCE

 

Read my latest claim its a fast track potentially

Foxy,

 

I've just been re-reading your thread. I'm surprised you've been allocated to the fast track as your claim is for £1400, but it's great if it has. You claim the costs during the final negotiations with Abbey's legal dept..........generally on the phone or by e-mail.
