    • 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.

And anyway, why the hell are they called "Grahams" - why not "Golden Gregorys" or something similar...?

Lula,

 

So sorry to hear of your loss.

 

My thoughts are with you and your family during this sad time.

 

I can only hope that this will help you to get through it, in memory of Graham...

I say Boycott Nestle.

 

And not just for this show of arrogance either. For buying out Crosse & Blackwells, promising that all jobs were safe, then closing down the factory in our town. I wonder how many workers had to suffer at the hands of unscrupulous DCAs as a result of losing their jobs.

 

McVities too. Bought out an old established biscuit company, and shut THAT down as well.

 

So don't buy Branston Pickle or Simmers of Hatton biscuits. There is no Simmers of Hatton any more. Just a trademarked name.

 

:(:(:(

Nestle are not a nice company...

 

Nestle - undermining infant health1.5 million babies die every year in poor countries because they are not breast fed says UNICEF. Millions more become seriously ill. The water mixed with baby milk powder in poor conditions is often unsafe. This leads to diarrhoea and often death. Babymilk is very expensive - it can cost more than half a family's income. Poor people often have to overdilute the powder to make it last longer and their babies are then likely to become malnourished. Breast feeding is free, safe and protects against infetion. Even undernourished mothers can breast feed successfully. Baby food companies have known for years that babies die from unsafe bottle feeding, yet they still aggressively promote their milk because they also know that if they don't get babies on the bottle, they don't do business.

 

Mike Garrett of the food giant Nestle will be speaking on "Developing a Strategy for Exploiting the Commercial Potential in China and Overcoming the Practical Difficulties of Operating in this Under-Tapped Market" . Nestle is the subject of a boycott in 17 countries because of its irresponsible marketing of breastmilk substitutes. Nestle promotes milk and milk products, for example by giving milk to hospitals in the Third World for free or at a low price. The company has an annual turnover of $42 billion The campaign group, Baby Milk Action, is exposing the reality of Nestle's business in China. The company's efforts to establish its baby food market in that country have already threatened the health of the 25 million babies born there each year. A recent report showed how promotion strategies have resulted in the widespread use of artificial milk and a decrease in breastfeeding in the Kunming region.

Because they are made with Graham flour, see here Graham flour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

 

I was at the global launch of Golden Grahams in the UK back in the early 1990's.

What "show of arrogance" is that? If a product that they manufacture and then allow you to buy is not performing for them, should they continue to make it anyway, for fear of inviting your ire?

 

Nestlé are a business, they are run for profit, not for you.

 

Crosse & Blackwell is a portfolio of retail food brands sold by the Nestlé Group to Premier Foods in 2002. Branston Pickle is one of those brands.
