    • Thanks for your prompt reply. I have some questions, please: When you say nothing will happen, my 80 year-old mother is worried about potential DCA doorsteppers if/when the debts are sold on - she is a very sweet, quite vulnerable lady and she is worried she may be bullied and harrassed.  If they do come knocking, what should she say?  I told her to say she knows nothing about any of it and they have no right to come knocking on her door and to warn them police will be informed if they come back.  Problem is, I don't think she would be strong enough and can easily be bullied into saying more than she intended once the door has been answered. Next questions: 1)  Should I inform all my lenders that I have moved abroad before defaulting (to avoid the quirky English law loophole thingy that could end up in a CCJ or worse once a DCA gets hold of it)?  2)  Can/should I provide an alternative UK correspondence address to my lenders instead of my mother's home address e.g. my virtual office address for my business - would the lenders accept this as I live abroad now and don't live at my mother's address?  Can I just write and tell them, without any further ado and not get into any further questions about it and cease further correspondence with them and default?  And would this stop DCAs coming to my mother's house as it would not be my current residential address on the lenders files when passed to the DCA?  Do they doorstep previous addresses? 3)  If I don't provide a UK correspondence address will I be at risk of not being aware of any Letters of Claim etc and legal proceedings notices etc not reaching me (there's no reliable postal system in the developing country I've moved to).  Worried this would mean I could end up being taken to court without being aware of it and could end up in a worse situation. 2) What exactly will go on my credit file once I've defaulted, assuming no legal action is taken against me?    4) Should I contact any of my lenders and inform them I have zero assets.  TSB & Sainsburys already have I&E info from me which shows my income  @ £1200/mth is below the combined total of my debt repayments @ £1300/mth and that my income only just covers essential costs of living @ £1200/mth.  Could it be useful to be on my file that I have no assets, so that the DCA clearly see this when the debt is passed to them? Thanks again for any advice.
    • paypal, but i would like to know if anyone knows if there is a certain time limit they have to refund you? thanks
    • Dear lookinforinfo, I'm sorry if I seem stupid, but what exactly am I telling them? -what code/ law / standard have they broken that I will use as an argument in letter? I don't understand the premise of your argument.  I would appreciate it if you could explain it to me clearly and in simple terms so that I understand.  Thank you

    • Agreed, let them default. Keep everything in writing, if they ring to discuss the accounts over the phone, simply say 'everything in writing please', and hang up. They'll soon get the message. Get all of your paperwork in order too, if you haven't got any, or are missing relevant documents, then you can SAR the original creditor, which is free and they have 30 days to supply the info. Keep a diary of events too. sit back and relax, YOU'RE in control, not them.

    • 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 pretty certain that I have seen somewhere on the forums that there is a specific way of producing default notices to make them valid. I will see if I can find a link. BRB.

Still had no response so will be sending the following off to them this aft

 

Dear Mrs

I am extremely disappointed to note that you have chosen to ignore my previous correspondence dated 25th April 2008, and I am quite frankly shocked that you have failed to respond to a letter sent over 2 months ago, especially after the fact you wrote to me requesting I informed you if the claim should still go ahead.

I enclose a further copy of this correspondence, and would request you read this and inform me of your position on this matter as a matter of urgency.

I have recently been refused a bank account because of “a default entry on your credit file” this default is one issued by Capital One and is incorrectly entered, and also has false and misleading information on it, two years ago I was also refused a mortgage at a favourable rate which I may not have been refused had the default not been placed on my file, obviously this has resulted in me having to pay more than I should have over the past two years, I believe that this demonstrates that your false and misleading information has caused me significant harm, and as such failure to remove all negative information about me will result in a compensation claim being submitted to the courts for damages.

As has already been stated your right to share information about me with third parties ended once you terminated the agreement between myself and Capital One (this occurring when you closed my account) as such your recording of such information is in my opinion unlawful, clarification of this will be determined once this matter comes before the court.

Removal of the false and misleading information from my credit file will cease all further legal action against Capital One, and in this event I shall contact the courts and terminate the case, if you refuse to remove the information I will be applying to the court to remove the stay imposed on the case, and ensure the case is listed to appear before a judge as soon as possible.

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

Yours ...

Hello ICY,

 

Just read your whole thread. It seems that you are having as much fun with the Cr*p ones as I am.

 

Have you had the stay lifted?I did on mine by just sending a letter. I can send it to you by PM. I didn't use a Notice of Application as this would have cost £65 (£75 now). The cr*p ones removed my default but put late payment markers on my file instead.

 

I have stuck to my guns and asked that ALL prejudicial information is removed including the uncontested CCJ that was granted against me for £265, plus the unlawful charges of course ;)

 

I'll be keeping an eye on your thread too and will let you know how mine is progressing. It's been at a standstill for now. I wrote the court telling them that Cap One hadn't settled with me as they have claimed and I have asked the claim to continue. I'll let you know how I get on.

 

Hang on in there!

Hi guys sorry, not been online very much lately, I sent the letter on 30th June telling them the financial side is setlled but not ending the claim until default removal, they have ignored this letter sending another one today as follows-

 

I am again writing in an attempt to get this matter resolved without any further delay, I initially wrote to you on the 25th April and again on the 30th June and to date you appear to be ignoring all of my correspondence, you initially wrote to me stating “
If you are not in agreement that your claim has been settled, we would ask that you please notify us in writing which elements of your claim you believe to be still outstanding. We will then be able to discuss the matter further with you
.” I have written to you as you requested, and consider it discourteous of you to fail to respond, I have proof of delivery as letters are sent recorded delivery.

As I have already said I consider the financial part of the claim to be settled, however as stated on the court papers, default removal is also part of the claim, and as such the claim is still not completely settled, and won’t be until Capital One remove the information on my credit file.

I enclose a further copy of each letter and would request you read this and inform me of your position on this as a matter of urgency.

Further to the previous letters I am currently attempting to get a mortgage to buy a new property, and have been told that due to the default Capital One have issued on my credit file, I will be struggling to get the mortgage I want, this demonstrates clearly that your recording of false negative information has caused damage to my ability to obtain affordable finance and as such failure to removed the information immediately will result in me submitting a claim for damages.

I trust this clarifies my position.

 

 

If this doesnt kickstart them, then I have no idea what will.

You could tell them that, in a recent case in Scotland, a claimant ws awarded £116k in just these dcircumstances - couldn't get a mortgage and therefore lost potential value of the house because of false negative credit marker. See RICHARD DURKIN v. DGS RETAIL LIMITED+HFC BANK PLC, 26 March 2008, Sheriff J K Tierney

Well this I really dont believe

 

Had a letter today from the Crap1,

Dear me

 

Thank you for your letter dated 30th June, I apologise for the delay in replying to you.

 

We refunded the default fees claimed on a without admission basis as a goodwill payment as such we believe the default that was recorded on your credit file in January 2006 was accuratly recorded. However in order to settle this matter, without admission of liability I have arranged for the default to be removed.

 

The credit file amendment department has been informed of this decision and your credit file should show the amendments within a month.

 

It is our view that we have agreed to settle your claim in full. We will write to X County Court to advise of our settelment and would ask that you do the same in order for the claim to be closed by them

 

Yours .......

 

So all is well is it.

 

Well actually NO

 

Looked on my credit file to see that I now no longer have a default. However the capital one account despite being closed a few years ago is now showing with 6 missed payments on the account, I am baffled now.

Can anybody please tell me how long Account Information stays on my experian report?

 

this is really hitting my total credit score, which shows the only thing having a negative impact on my score is the late payments to Capital one.

 

 

Also are they allowed to record information about me as myself and capital one we no longer have a contract and didnt when they last updated my credit file on 31st July 2008.

 

I really should notify the court that the claim I submitted is now settled, in that the have refunded the money part of the claim, and have technically removed the default (even if they have replaced it with late payment markers).

 

Is there anything I can do to get the late payment markers removed?

Thanks usa, although the amount they defaulted me for was less than the amount they have refunded me from charges, so is it right that although they removed the default, they can still leave these late payment markers despite them paying me back more than they alledged that I owed, therefore in theory I couldnt have owed the money in the first place, so cant have made late payments am I correct.

 

Should I write to the court and end the case, or should I take it to the court, and if I do do I need to amend the claim or explain when I arrive, really need to get a move on with this now :0)

:madgrin:
