    • 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.

Letter going back by return!!

Attached: Copy letter 13/08/2007

Dear Sirs,

This letter is a complaint and should be dealt with under your formal complaints procedure.

I refer to your recent letter dated 11/12/2007 which was received on 14/12/2007 which is referenced as “S27/”.

I wrote to you on 13/08/2007, a copy of this letter is attached for your reference, requesting;

  • A copy of original credit agreement.
  • Total amount outstanding when you acquired the account.
  • A listing of all monies paid to date.
  • A listing of all credits and debits to the account to date.
  • The current balance of the account.
  • A copy of the original default notice.
  • You should also be aware that the original terms and conditions relating to the account should have been sent also and as a matter of course when responding to a Section 78 Consumer Credit Act 1974 request for documentation.

All that you have provided is a copy of an original application form for a credit card and a balance of account. This in no way satisfies my request and therefore this account is now in dispute and I no longer acknowledge any debt to you.

Having taken legal advice I am aware that the copy of the original application form that you have sent me does not contain any of the prescribed terms set out by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and is completely unenforceable and has been so since the date that you purchased this account from MBNA, and therefore, as ignorance of the law is seen as no excuse, you have been collecting upon an unenforceable credit agreement since 1998 and thus collecting payments by deception which is a serious criminal offence that could bring into question your fitness to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

I am very sure that you are aware of Section 78(6) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974;

(6) If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1)—

(a) he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement;

and

(b) if the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

And that Section 189 of the Act states;

“Creditor “ means the person providing credit under a consumer credit agreement or

the person to whom his rights and duties under the agreement have passed by

assignment or operation of law, and in relation to a prospective consumer credit

agreement, includes the prospective creditor;

My aims to resolve this dispute;

  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, and in writing, disclaim any and all future interest in this matter.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, refund all monies paid toward this unenforceable account and with compound interest of 8% from the date that the first payment was made under duress and threat of legal action.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, admit that they should have been in receipt of an enforceable credit agreement from MBNA Bank when they purchased this account.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, admit that they wrongfully purchased an unenforceable account without having sight of an enforceable regulated credit agreement having taken 3 months to provide a copy of an application form provided by MBNA Bank.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, provide to me, the alleged debtor, a copy of the Deed of Assignment that should exist in relation to the sale of this alleged debt.

In closing, I might add that should you consider legal action in this matter, I am more than capable of defending such a claim and more so to making a counterclaim for the reasons set out above. Should a successful Counterclaim Judgment be entered you would be subject to additional costs.

I look forward to your co-operation and due diligence in this matter.

Yours faithfully,

X xxxx xxx xXXv xvx XVX x x x v

Please do not hate me for this. Realised you have enveloped it while I was typing!

 

Dear Sirs,

 

This letter is a complaint and should be dealt with under your formal complaints procedure. Love this - saves on a lot of wasted postage

 

I refer to your recent letter dated 11/12/2007 which was received on 14/12/2007 which is referenced as “S27/”.

 

I wrote to you on 13/08/2007, a copy of this letter is attached for your reference, requesting;

  • A copy of original credit agreement.
  • Total amount outstanding when you acquired the account.
  • A listing of all monies paid to date.
  • A listing of all credits and debits to the account to date.
  • The current balance of the account.
  • A copy of the original default notice.
  • You should also be aware that the original terms and conditions relating to the account should have been sent also and as a matter of course when responding to a Section 78 Consumer Credit Act 1974 request for documentation.

All that you have provided is a copy of an original application form for a credit card and a balance of account. This in no way satisfies my request and therefore this account is now in dispute and I no longer acknowledge any alleged debt to you. (take out “to you” – as the debt is not acknowledged to anyone now)

Having taken legal advice I am aware that the copy of the original application form that you have sent me does not contain; any of the prescribed terms set out by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, is completely unenforceable and has been so since the date that you claim to have purchased this account from MBNA, and therefore, as (delete , and therefore, as) I feel obliged to inform you that; ignorance of the law is seen as no excuse, you have been collecting upon (delete collecting upon) pressurising payments from me for an unenforceable credit agreement since 1998 and thus (delete and thus) .You will no doubt realise that you have been* collecting payments by deception which is a serious criminal offence that could bring into question your fitness to hold a Consumer Credit Licence.

 

* reason for this change is to avoid them coming back saying that they did not know it was uncollectible due to not “purchasing” the actual agreement.

(I am very sure that you are aware of Section 78(6) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974;

 

(6) If the creditor under an agreement fails to comply with subsection (1)—

(a) he is not entitled, while the default continues, to enforce the agreement;

and

(b) if the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

And that Section 189 of the Act states;

 

“Creditor “ means the person providing credit under a consumer credit agreement or

the person to whom his rights and duties under the agreement have passed by

assignment or operation of law, and in relation to a prospective consumer credit

agreement, includes the prospective creditor;) Not sure assignments are absolute so personally I would avoid giving them a get out response. Also from Moonhawks thread, Aktiv seem to claim they are not agents either.

 

My aims to resolve this dispute;

  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, and in writing, disclaim any and all future interest in this matter.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, refund all monies paid toward this unenforceable account and with compound interest of 8% from the date that the first payment was made under duress and threat of legal action.
  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, admit that they should have been in receipt of an enforceable credit agreement from MBNA Bank when they purchased this account.

  • Wescot Credit Services, without further delay, provide to me, the alleged debtor, a copy of the Deed of Assignment that should exist in relation to the sale of this alleged debt.

In closing, I might add that should you consider legal action in this matter, I am more than capable of defending such a claim and more so to (delete and more so) , including making a counterclaim for the reasons set out above. Should a successful Counterclaim Judgment be entered, you would be subject to additional costs.

 

I look forward to your co-operation and due diligence in this matter.

Got a similar scenario with one of mine, Dave....

 

It's worth going for a refund, but it'll be an uphill battle with no guarantees. Mine's been going on since the CCA default in January, but they are now in a very tight corner with the FOS because they have to issue a final, written response to my complaint... which they really, really don't want to do. The complaint only relates to stuff after April, 2007 by the way.... but there's enough there to get them hung nicely anyway. ;)

 

Excellent letter Dave :D .... let's see what tosh they come back with now. Bet there'll be no court claim from them now though...

It's taken them 6 weeks to shuffle that around their office bearing in mind my letter was signed for on the 19th of December!! :rolleyes:

 

Dave, you are slipping. I thought you would have a letter ready to remind them of their complaints procedure, it was signed for on 19 Dec (not 24 Jan) so their clock has nearly ticked out to the FOS already.
