    • 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 have been reading posts on this site for a while now and a few weeks ago took the plunge and I sent my first letter to HSBC on 14th March and heard nothing. I have sent the LBA letter on Thursday 5/4/07.I know I should allow 14 days for them to resond to this but with it being easter and bank holidays should I give them a few more days to allow for the days the post to catch up or just continue with the next step after 14 days?

I have sent my letters to the address on the back of the letters they send to me which is 8 canada sq,london. Is this right or should I go to a different address? Any help would be appreciated and I will update this thread when I know more.

Will you be claiming any interest - even just the 8% statutory lot? I know that when my 14 day LBA deadline had only a day or two before expiring, I was praying HSBC didn't respond because I wanted to go to court and slap the interest on as well.

 

You are unlikely to hear from them for a few weeks. And bank holidays won't make much of a difference to your wait - we're taking weeks here, not a few days. First, you'll get a reply to your preliminary letter saying something like "please give us more time to investigate your claim thoroughly", then another letter to say it is taking longer than expected and they quite understand that eight weeks is really quite a long time .......

 

If I were you, I'd get MCOL ready over this weekend while you have some free time. Use the Canada Square address, this is their registered office.

I agree with VT get the court stuff sorted over the weekend. I definately wouldn't give them dispensation because of the Easter break after all if things were the other way round we know that they would not be so understanding. :)

i'm sure you'll find the mcol website very user friendly - in any spare time - just log in - get your claim all filled in as you have time and when the 14 days is up all you will need to do is pay and submit.

michael browne has written a line by line guide:

Getting MCOL Right

although there is a template for the particulars of claim in the library - i will pm you mine as another example.

  • 3 weeks later...

ok...problem encountered. Ive been away for a while and got back today thinking I would have either 1-a nice big cheque on my doormat or 2- a reply from HSBC, but Ive actualy got 3- nothing!

I was going to start the mcol and process for tomorrow but I have realised in my stupidity after reading someone elses thread that I have not sent my prelim letter and LBA by recorded delievery. Is this a problem or should I send the LBA again by recored delievery again giving them a further 14 days?

HELP!

No don't worry about that it is really only a back up as you can produce the letters that you have sent so no issue really. The real action starts with the court and it is this process that gets the banks to step up and take notice. :-)

No because for one you have sent letters and can produce copies of these letters just because they are not sent recorded does not make it valid. Two to make any claim you do not have to inform someone in advance. Lastly and most importantly you are highly highly unlikely to get into a court where this could possibly make a difference. :D
