    • 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 everyone,

 

I've got an active account with capital one, i've just had a question answered about claiming for charges - that I can claim on this.

 

My question is - might sound a bit silly really as i've been browsing the boards for some months now but.....

 

I'm a little worried that if I start and proceed to get charges back, they will withdraw my card and demand the balance owed on the account, currently around £550.

 

a) can they do this? and

b) what can I do about this if anything?

 

Still a novice so please be gentle with me :confused:

Hi Lana

 

You can claim back your charges with interest as well. They may cancel your card, depending on how the account has been run. They seem to keep most customers but then put up the interest rate. Some of us have had letters advising us of an increase due to market conditions.

This is quite clearly retaliatory action, which i am looking at.

Thanks for that Uk,

 

I've just had a letter putting my interest rate up too, which is why I asked the question, although i haven't been a bad customer, have gone over limit the odd time, purely by accident then been stung the month later by 20 quid charges for going over.

 

When I win with the abbey will pay it off and then go for the charges back.

 

Thanks for your help though

Hi Lana - me again!!!! Just a quick point re Cap One - they seem to pay up very quickly after Court claim is issued, rather than forcing you down the AQ and Court Bundle route. You'd very likely get your money back much quicker than from Abbey. By the way, theres a reply from me on your Abbey thread. All the best;)

I do my best to be helpful, but at the end of the day I'm not a professional - please seek further advice if you're not sure. On the other hand, if I have helped, please click my scales - thanks ;)

 

Current Claims (all for friends!) -

 

Abbey - over £4k - Court claim issued & AQ filed ('Tish vs Abbey'). Alloc'n Hearing 21 Sept - Claim stayed 29/8/07.

Cap One - just under £2k - WON (just over 2k!)('Tish vs Cap One')

Cap One - just under £1000 - WON (just over £1k) Nov 07 (JimmyBoy vs Cap One)

Lloyds TSB - £3.5k - Court claim issued, defence rec'd and AQ filed; Alloc'n hearing 7th Sept Claim stayed 29/8/07! (JimmyBoy vs Lloyds')

MBNA - over £1k for mis-sold PPI - WON - approx £1500(IpswichWitch vs MBNA . . .)

I've read on other threads that legally they can't call in the debt on an account thats in dispute, and certainly can't after Court claim is issued. If you look around the Cap One forum I'm sure you will find the info.

 

Have a vodka for me!;)

  • 1 year later...

Hi everyone,

 

Its been a while but have finally got round to going after CapOne again with one thing and another it got pushed to the back burner.

 

Have finally received my statements and I was wondering if I go after the interest they've charged me aswell (spreadsheet to calculate from Steven4064's signature), the interest on the charges isn't the 8% court interest.

 

The question is, do I add this interest to the claim (which doubles the whole amount) or do I just leave it and go for the 8% at court stage, am so confused, can someone help please :???:

 

Thanks guys

Lana

Thanks for that Steven,

 

I got down to the bottom bit about claiming interest and then my brain turned to mush lol

 

So, If I understand this right, I can submit LBA for charges + huge interest

then if I get no response submit claim for charges + huge interest + 8% interest + court costs?

 

If the latter is correct, do I add the 8% on each charge + interest on the spreadsheet so for example my first charge is a late payment fee of 20 in november 03 so would that be:

20.00 + int of 44.10 = 64.10 is this what I add the 8% to, if so, the 8% interest would be 22.89 so that would mean this charge would turn into 86.99?

 

Now see why i'm confused lol

Sorry to be a pain

Sorry Steven, one more question :(

 

On your spreadsheet the interest shows at 29.9%APR, the interest rate on my card currently shows 30.34% so should I leave your figure as it is?

 

Thanks again

Lana

Change it to your figure. The 29.9% was what GE charged us

Hi Lana

 

Good to hear from you again.

 

Just out of 'interest', and to try and help, with my Cap 1 claims what I did quite simply was to calculate the point in time when, had it not been for the 'unlawful' charges applied to the account by Cap 1, the account would have had NO outstanding balance, and would therefore have incurred no interest charges. From that point onwards I included all the interest charges they applied to the a/c on the spreadsheet, and treated them in exactly the same way as charges they applied for late payment etc etc.

 

End result - they paid up almost immediately, and in full, and including the 8% Statutory interest that I added to each 'Charge', and to each ammount of interest, as I had issued the claim in Court - they paid up within about a week after my doing that!

 

Hope that helps, Lana.

 

All the best - Adam.

I do my best to be helpful, but at the end of the day I'm not a professional - please seek further advice if you're not sure. On the other hand, if I have helped, please click my scales - thanks ;)

The problem is that you cannot work out exactly how much interest you have been charged without access to the software the company uses to calculate it. You have to estimate it the best you can. Adam's way is a good way of doing it. It's only problem is that it misses some interest charged before the point at which the whole balance is made up of charges. Its good point is that it is wholly defensible.:)

Thanks to you both for that, am so confused when it comes to this interest thing :confused:

 

All i've done is used Steven's spreadsheet that works out the interest at 29.9% and then on another sheet added on the 8% for the court cos knowing my luck it will go that far......it looks amazing as one charge back from Nov 2003 is worth just under £87.....that'll do me lol

 

Just might need a little help when they try to confuse me with interest twaddle in their letters rofl

 

Anyway, thanks again

The spreadsheet is fine (it’s actually my spreadsheet!) You need to be clear though what you are claiming. Calculated like this, you are not claiming the interest they levied on the charges. That is quite a complicated calculation where you apportion each interest charge on your statement between interest on credit and interest on charges. If your account is kept up to date most of the time, this is usually quite small. (My Goldfish claim was for charges of £277 – interest levied was £44.87 and interest calculated as you have was £455)

The interest you are claiming by doing it this way is interest in restitution for the fact that Cap1 took your money unlawfully. This is all explained in my interest tutorial and you will see how to ‘explain’ it in the various letters and court claim on my Goldfish thread – both are linked from my signature.

Thanks for that Steven,

 

Have had a read today and make more sense of it. I wasn't going to add any interest on the charges before adding the restitution interest but i'm going to now.

 

Have just typed up the letters after reading your Goldfish thread again and have added one of your paragraphs (hope you don't mind) so hopefully I won't get a letter from them asking me to explain it, otherwise will be shouting for help again lol

 

Hope this works

Thanks again :)
