"There is case law which involved a person who was defaulted wrongly and it affected his credit score for years and he won c.£200k. I can't remember who was the claimant but the defendent who lost was GE Capital Bank, I believe."

I was going to ask you whether it went further than the judgement you sent me....it's not normal practice getting damages awarded for loss you might have incurred. That guy in Scotland is probably glad now that he didn't buy that house in Spain!Disclaimer - Info about the law is designed to help users safely cope with their own legal needs.

Hey - i've trawled for info on the John Peters v o2 case. I can't find anything in the system - even under o2's parent company's name. Short of phoning up Wakefield County Court and checking with them - and i don't see the point because it would be in the system. I'm wondering whether this case actually went to court or whether it was blag with the media to bluff a settlement.
The article certainly states that the o2 representative had not seen a claim form and was looking into it - first he had heard about it and all that - i think that ones a no goer....Disclaimer - Info about the law is designed to help users safely cope with their own legal needs.
