    • OK, thanks, I won't wait for them. On a side note, some of the posts on here are a bit frustrating, I read through five pages or so of someone going through the court process rooting for them as I'm reading, then nothing, not heard of again. Left here wondering what the outcome was, lol!
    • Hello Caggers,   I've been trying for years to get an old EE account wiped off my credit file. It was opened in 2013 and almost immediately defaulted but was shown as "Payment Arrangement" ever since. I contacted EE by telephone in 2022 and was advised it had not been wiped because there was still £69 owing, I paid it and thought it would correct once the CRA's updated their reporting cycle. However, it has still not been removed. I made a formal complaint on 27/03/2024 and have had contact with the executive team who advised that  "EE account ......... has now been deleted from the Credit File as it failed to close as it was reporting the payment arrangement set up despite, as advised this failing which should have resulted in a further default showing.  Please be advised the deletions we have completed take 24 hours to update if a paid service is used to view the Credit File. If the customer uses one of the free services to view the Credit File, the recordings update in 24 hours but the changes can take up to 30 days to be visible on a new copy of the Credit File. I have requested compensation and been advised by EE that another team are looking into this. That was almost 2 weeks ago and there has been no contact since, despite me chasing it. I do not want to go to court and would rather settle this amicably. However,I have been advised that I might have a claim for aggravated damages due to the length of time the incorrect reporting has been on my file and the fact that I told EE about this issue and paid the demanded outstanding amount of £69 almost 18 months ago. Should I just wait for EE to reply or should I start building my case against them? Is their statement admissible as evidence of their blame or do I need to dig a bit more? I made a DSAR which was initially rejected as having no data found yet. I trawled my e-mails from 2013 and found the account number and mobile number, I'm now awaiting the result of my 2nd attempt at DSAR. I have very little in the way of proof of actual loss except a mortgage refusal e-mail from HBOS in 2015. I have also had high interest loans and credit over the last 10 years but again cannot directly attribute this to this one specific error. There were other items on my credit file that could also have contributed to a low credit score too and I'm not out to cash in on anything. I want to make sure I don't end up shooting myself in the foot for any obvious reason and would appreciate any help from anyone who has had similar experience with breaches of DPA.

    • 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.

Does anyone else feel so upset like me??? I literally feel sick with worry.:(

Most of us have tried so hard to scrimp & scrape the Court costs together.

Does anyone know how long this test case is likely to take?

I know this isn't easy money but when Nationwide have been paying out like they have, you start planning what debts etc to pay off.

My 28 days are up in the middle of August but I presume now Nationwide are going to hold off paying.

Can't even get onto Moneyclaim Online as it is permanently down since the test case announcement, to see if a defence has been filed

don't panic,

listen to what the site helpers and moderators are saying, EACH court will more than likely continue as normal, the backlog of cases will become such a burdern that as in the most cases the banks have shown their hands by not turning up and this is blatent disregard for authority and timewasting for the judges who sit and wait for these represenataive to turn up and can't be bothered. If me or you couldn't be bothered to go to court for something do you think the judge would act in our favour?

Listen there are too many scaremongers entering these forums and maybe they are putting doubts into peoples minds, maybe some of them are acting on behalf of the banks have you ever thought of that.

The whistleblower was an employee of a bank, who's to say there is'nt somebody trying very hard to influence people like you and me into stopping these claims, well you won't stop me, 'I WANT MY MONEY BACK' :mad:

 

eat that mr/mrs bank manager and all your greedy partners.:mad:

 

best regards as always lol

Least we all NOT forget that Nationwide is STILL a Building Society + as such, its Customers are legally deemed to be Members (...or for want of a different word, PARTNERS) who are supposed to 'share' in the Mutual benefits that their Membership rewards them!!!...:wink::-D

Hi

 

Totally agree with all what is said - Nationwide had until saturday to enter a defence in my case. The Nationwide site does say they will ask the judge permission to suspend the case until the court case is resolved but there are no guarantees the judge will say yes..........so I will be very interested what happens with mine and certainly will let the site know what the judge says!

For my daughters case NWide had until 17th July to submit a defence. By Friday 28th July according to MCOL thay hadn't submitted anything. So I pressed the 'judgement' button and it was accepted.

 

I am now waiting to see what will happen now this test case is pending.

 

Can't access the MCOL site at present.

I too submitted my claim on 12 th July. They acknowledged the claim and stated they are going to defend and gave the name and address of the solicitors. This was on 19th July...before the OFT case started on the 27th July. (Acoording to their website). So now I sit and wait and see whether they will pay up or suspend the case. They have until 11th August.

Thanks to all for your replies - feel only a little desperate now!!!

 

Just think the Office of FAIR Trading isn't very fair to us as consumers as the Banks/Building Societies knew about this test case & we were kept in the dark. :evil:

 

Why couldn't OFT have advised us this was going to happen so we could have decided whether to proceed?

 

Surely the test case is between OFT & the banks & shouldn't involve us as we were not a party to it?

The Office of Fair Trading: OFT launches test case on unauthorised overdraft charges

 

They did tell everyone, but the BBC etc. can't have thought it was newsworthy.

 

Good luck with your claim,

MTM,

thanks for that:o thing is if we are supposed to 'Share the mutual rewards' then does that mean I am benefiting from taking my own money off me in the means of an unlawful charges?:confused: because so far, since opening my account with them in feb2006 it's cost me over a grand and I haven't seen any returns yet, maybe when I get my charges back then I should class that as my 'Mutual Rewards' sort of a delayed savings account:D

 

keep em coming MTM:p

 

regards as always

...keep em coming MTM
Simply put...

 

If U don't like the way that Nationwide is run, as a Bona Fide Member, U have a Legal Right to vote a NEW Board in that reflects your views + oust any Board Members that DON'T share your views about how a 'Mutual' Building Society should be run for its Members benefit.

 

If enough Members vote the same way as yourself...U will get the type of 'Mutual' Building Society that U wish for....;)

 

Ain't Democracy wonderful eh??!...lol...:D

MTM, nice to hear from you again,

I did recently vote but I voted against the current board, not that it matters as they will just appoint somebody else with the same ideals as the last. (peer prejudice);)

 

Onwards and Upwards. Don't panic Mr Mannering.. lol

 

regards

chris
