    • 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.

Have been offered the difference between the £20 and £12 charges from Capital One -- am sending LBA for remainder.

GE Money - Received settlement of £441, being total charges requested. No interest though.

CCA'd Bank of Scotland / Blair Oliver Scott to produce CCA Agreements on two Credit Cards - well in default, although still chasing payment!!!

EOS Solutions "ceased action on account" on behalf of a friend.

By sheer coincidence I received my statements from Sainsbury's today. The usual bumf about we refer to your recent correspondence (that'll be two and a half months ago then).

 

However, it is only statements no info on manual intervention, so sorry chaps you still haven't complied.

 

No mention of the copy of the credit agreement. Funny that as the letters were in the same envelope :)

Rory, will you send a letter to Sainsburys reagrding their non compliance, or just let them dig a slightly bigger hole for themselves? i ask this because there seems to be a split in opinion on DCA threads in general as to whether to correspond or not.

Thanks

Currently I'll just let themselves dig a bigger hole. I do believe in building a case against them on the off chance you later need to defend.

 

However, at some point you need closure one way or the other. It's just at the moment I have lots of accounts to deal with so Sainsbury's are not a top priority yet.

Thank you Rory, again, I am asking the questions, as I know a lot of people respect your input to the site in general, and you set a good example to follow!!

Sainsbury's "Try something new today"....like complying with a CCA request!;)

I have today received a letter from EOS informing me:

 

URGENT

 

The above debt has been passed to us by our client for collection.

 

PAYMENT IN FULL is required IMMEDIATELY

 

Failure to respond to this letter could result in:

 

The account being passed to you LOCAL SHERIFF'S COURT for action (oh goody, about time. Normally DCA's threaten people with CCJ's so I wonder if they even know what they would be seeking)

Arrangements being made for one of our FIELD COLLECTORS to call on you to recover the outstanding balance. It's a long walk from Warrington.

 

Please ring.......blah, blah, blah.

 

Another letter for the harassment file :)

Rory, I like the way that DCAs chose to be careful with their wordings. In this letter (unless you pay it all immediately of course :rolleyes: ), they say

Failure to respond to this letter could result in: blah blah

They just don't help themselves do they? You could send them a spade to help with their digging...

Rory,

I was just wondering how things are with you regarding BOS?

 

the only reason I am asking, BOS's time ran out for us at the end of July 07 (12+30 days) following CCA request. so they now are commiting a summary criminal offence.

 

we have heard nothing from them, however today we have received a letter now under the name of

IQOR - the new name for Legal and Trade, staing that the debt is now with Capital Bank (originally taken out with AA under Bank of Scotland) and they have issued with our 'file' to recover the outstanding balance?

 

I havent a clue what to do from here now?

 

it was originally with J&J Collections who also time ran out for, then passed to BOS who also time has now ran out for, so now its passed to these guys?

 

Have BOS done this to you?

14/06/06 Data Protection Act Sent to SPML

28/06/06 - Info / statements received from SPML

2/8/06 Pre Lim to SPML for £324.72

Rory, planning to pinch your letter as OH has just had the court threat on one account, just one question, he has three accounts and although we have CCA'd BOS for tis them who have been collecting monies towards the alleged debt without supplying any statement of account and got back one card request form ,we haven't SAR'd them, should we and should we send it to BOS or Sainsbury's and would the fee be £10 or £30?

 

So many questions sorry, should really be having cheeky vimtos and sitting in sunshine rather than doing this!:)

You could SAR them if you want but if they can't supply an enforceable agreement there's no point in trying to claim charges back. It's £10 per SAR, it doesn't matter how many accounts you hold. The SAR is for all the info that a company holds on you.
