    • No I'm not. Even if I was then comments on this forum wouldn't constitute legal advice in the formal sense. Now you've engaged a lawyer directly can I just make couple of final suggestions? Firstly make sure he is fully aware of the facts. And don't mix and match by taking his advice on one aspect while ploughing your own furrow on others.  Let us know how you get on now you have a solicitor acting for you.

    • 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.

Morning all!

 

I've sent the snotogram to Hillesden via Recorded Delivery from the UK with a £1 PO. Meanwhile, I've received another letter from them. Notice of Debt Recovery dated 10th Feb. So I think the letters have crossed....

 

I'll sit tight for now. Martin/Mods - I've scanned a copy of the missive and will send via e-mail if that's OK.

Ok that looks alright.

 

I noted their references to you possibly being referred to their "Debt Surveillance Programme"

I have to admit I havent heard of this one before....must be a new frightener.

Where on earth do they find these flashes of inspiration ?

I think they have been watching too many James Bond films.

Just be careful to check for any wires or out of place devices near your doors walls and windows.:laser:

Ha ha! Yes - I noticed that too. Never heard of this before...

 

Meanwhile, I checked with Royal Mail as to when my letter was delivered. Seems it was delivered 11th Feb, but the signature's like nothing you've ever seen - I kid you not, my 3 YO nephew's got better writing than that!!

 

Anyway, I'll print off the proof, scan and add to my files. Give them a chance to reply (oops I meant ignore).:lol:

 

What has been your experience with DLC/Hillesden?

Hmn I have had some dealings lets say.

They are fully aware of their needs to comply with regs and codes of practice.

I do believe that they will read whats been sent and be forced to take stock.The consequences of them ignoring that,are potentially serious.

Dont they spout some rubbish.

 

 

Our service monitors the financial status of debtors for up to five years using periodic contact via telephone, letters or agent visits.assuming the debtor is happy to agree-in most cases they will not. Keeping regular contact and adopting a sensitive and focused approach to all aspects of the process ensures that if financial circumstances improve, the introduction of an appropriate collection method can then be implemented.

In other words they just keep looking at your credit file to see how you are fixed to agreeing to any requests for payments.

Morning all! :-D

 

Quick update for you....

 

Got a letter from Hillesden this morning. Basically they confirm the following:

 

  • They were passed the account from HSBC who remain the legal owner of my account
  • They did not know my claim was still subject to court proceedings
  • They claim a copy of the complaints procedure is enclosed. Of course, no such copy was sent! :D
  • They have returned my PO, and placed my account on hold pending confirmation from HSBC that the case is still stayed...:smile::roll:

 

Oh dear, oh dear -Looks as though HSBC were in such a hurry to get their hands on my (non-existant) dough, they clean forgot I still had a case against them!:lol:

 

I await the next instalment with interest (excuse the pun!):madgrin:

So no copy of their complaints ?

Then they are in breach of the regs-and should be reported.

No copy of the complaints procedure. To be fair to them, it did state in the letter the procedures were enclosed but they were not like I say. Should I still go ahead and complain, or do the decent thing and allow them to send?

 

I've also sent another mail to the court just to clarify that the stay is still in force. That's what I surmised from the original mail, but wanted to make sure.

I dont see why you should have to be chasing them further.

You clearly asked for a copy of their complaints procedure,and they did not send it.

They are in breach of guidelines laid down by the FSA OFT and need reporting.

You can do this online via Consumer Direct.

I would also send the OFT an email explaining that you asked for this but did not get it,and can they confirm that there is a requirement for them to do this as a Consumer Credit licence holder.

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Could you please confirm whether a company holding a Consumer Credit licence has a responsibility to furnish me with a copy of their complaints procedure if it is requested ?

The purpose of me asking,is because after writing to Hillesden Securities Limited1418063 whose Consumer Credit licence is 0100058,they have responded to other questions yet failed to provide a copy of their complaints procedure despite me specifically asking for the same.

 

Yours Faithfully

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

I wish to make a formal complaint against a company who has failed to send me a copy of their complaints procedure,despite a request in writing to do so.

The company Hillesden Securities Limited is licenced by the Office of Fair Trading CCL 0100058.

 

Should there be no requirement for Hillesden to supply me with a copy of their complaints procedure on request,then perhaps you would kindly clarify this by way of reply.

 

Yours Faithfully

I really do believe that firms like Hillesden continue to fail in their obligations,because there is a lot of apathy and uninformed consumers.

If everyone made a complaint to the regulators when faced with their non compliance,we would begin to see Hillesden being brought into line.

I have to say that in the last 12 months,the OFT ,has been actively pursuing many companies following complaints.

There has also been the joint debt letter guidance issued in conjunction with the CSA and OFT.

It should be noted however,that even in those conclusions,the CSA were still of the mindset that regulations were too sided to the debtor.

The Manifesto argues that there is a relationship between a regulatory culture which enables consumers to avoid their debts and the growing problem of over indebtedness.

Quick update for you all...

 

This morning, I received in the post a copy of Hillesden's complaints procedure - If you could call it that. It was actually a flow chart which was cut off at the edge....I'll scan & post up later. It was sent together with a copy of the letter they sent me earlier this week.

 

I reckon they realised they dropped a ricket and dispatched a copy of the requested 'procedures' ASAP before I complained. I wonder if the Signguard I used on the letter gave a clue?:roll:

Hi all - The Cat is back!

 

Just musing. Haven't heard anything from anyone about the claim. It might well have been struck out, and will need to check with the court tomorrow.

 

I am still unemployed, and have heard that my claim might well be allowed by the Financial Ombudsman if I can go down that route claiming hardship.

 

Is anyone able to shed light on this please?

TIA :)
