    • 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 all,

 

Have been looking on this site for 2 days now, i'm inspired by those who have made it through the SD process and extremely worried as I have been issued with an SD (2 days ago) delivered by courier from 1st Credit. ( I did not sign for it)

 

The SD is very formal looking, the creditor is Halifax, the debt is in excess 9k for a credit card. My intention is to get this set aside on the grounds that I am disputing the amount, although I have never requested or sent correspondence to creditors or DCA regarding this, nor have i made any payments to reduce the debt, so don't know if I will be able to apply for CCA at this late stage.

 

I am a home owner and do not want this to go all the way to BP.

 

Any and all advice will be grately welcomed. Please help:confused:

Hi all, I am new here and found the group by searching the net for info on Statutory Demands.

 

I have been contacted on numerous occasions by a company called "capquest". They say that I owe them £12,700 from a debt I owed egg banking. The debt was over 8 years ago and on my credit file it show's as "setled".

 

The company are now threatening me with a "statutory Demand" for the debt. I thought the debt was too old to recover so can the company do this? Does anyone think they are serious? Can anyone give me any advice?

 

They haven't actually served me yet but is there an actual time limit on debt?

then the debt is statute barred & the court nor the OFT will be very happy with capquest for using the threat of banktruptcy to try & recover an out of time debt

 

However you can't just leave it otherwise they may get a petition by default............. So in order to ensure that doesn't happen you must within 18 days make an application to have the SD canceled by the court Also don't forget to apply for wasted costs which I'm sure the court will be only to happy to grant in order to 1st punish capquest & 2nd to stop them abusing the process

Has anyone had dealings with a company call Arrow Global Limited located in Manchester?

I received an SD from Arrow Global on the 25th June 2009; the SD was signed and dated 29th May 2009. This was discovered when I returned from work, it had my name on the envelope and noting else.

I have responded using the templates on this site quoting the Limitations Act 1980. I have also asked them to provide evidence of payment or written acknowledgement (section 5 of the Limitation Act) of the debit. To date I have had no response from this company.

On the evidence above I have completed form 6.4 and 6.5 (application to set aside a statutory demand).

Can someone tell me if I’m following the correct protocol?

Can you also explain Part ‘C’ of the SD in particular (date(s) of Assignment).

when the court awards me the ccj im making against a company for non payment of fees, can i then make a stat demand against the company?

 

I understand she is claiming insolvency with no assests, so im wondering which course of action would be the cheapest, ie making an enforcement order or a stat demand?

i am UK based

Hi

 

New here! Not sure if I should start another thread? But I have had a number of letters chasing a debt of close to £9k (though they keep making offers of say £5k if paid in installments).

 

I think this is perhaps a debt from 2002 (the original loan was for £5k in 2001).

 

It is the holding bank via debt company that are chasing. Now they are threatening a SD after 12/11 if no response from me.

 

I understand this is not a detailed claim plus now Statute Barred?

 

Should I just ignore it? SD via 2nd post only.

 

I have not made any kind of contact with them.

 

Any advice would be most welcome!

 

Thank you for any help/advice

No if they DO send you a SD you MUST not ignore it otherwise after 21 days they'll petition the court for your bankruptcy. You will defend it on the grounds that its an abuse of process in that the debt IS statute barred You will also tell them you will seek costs

 

Your right not to contact them as they'll claim your contact was an admission to pay the debt

 

If send you a SD then you have 18 days to respond not 21 days as some mistakenly think

 

Lat but not least the courts don't like them using SD's as a means of collection consumer debt & they certainly don't like them trying to recover time barred debt

 

Can you name the DCA as some have been warned by the OFT not to use this method ......... unless they are prepared to proceed with the threat

Send the statute barred letter to them by recorded delivery ASAP....

 

Hi 42man

 

Did as you say, received a letter back saying their client says I made a payment of £25 in 2005 and therefore not statute barred.

 

I have not made any payments, presume I ask for proof/details?

 

I would start a new thread as requested, but perhaps being stupid I can not find any 'New thread' buttons? I have been all over site and FAQs

 

Thanks for any help

Write back (special delivery) telling them you didn't make a payment & even if you did the debt is still time barred. Tell them you will defend any claim by them AND seek indemnity costs because of their clients abuse of process

 

State that whilst you dont accuse their clients its come to your attention that some claimants are alleged to have created payments in order to claim a debt has been admitted by the debtor. Therefore this is something you will investigate should they continue with their action

If it arrived 2nd class post and she has acknowledged it.... then it's as good as served. However, if they have not complied with her request for a CCA, then the debt remains in dispute. Non-compliance of a CCA request is a complete defence in any court claim that is issued against her.

Remember the mantra : :)

NEVER communicate by 'phone.

Send EVERYTHING by Recorded/Special Delivery

Keep a copy of EVERYTHING sent

Keep hold of EVERYTHING received

Never ask for statements, specifically request a list of transactions

If you do ask for statements you may be charged £10 a time, and over six years that’s £720, yet asking for a list of charges should be fine.

40 Days to comply or seek remedy fronm the information comissioner!!

Don't have it

Hi I noticed in the above posts that the amount has to be £750 or more for a SD. My alleged debt is £730.00 so what actions can the DCA do? Also I informed them in an e-mail that I did not acknowledge the debt and "I now considered this alleged debt to be in dispute" I also, same day, sent off a CCA request. Phone call from DCA threatening to take me to court. So does my e-mail precede any action they take?
