    • love the extra £1000 charge for confidentialy there BF   Also OP even if they don't offer OOC it doesn't mean your claim isn't good. I had 3 against EVRi that were heard over the last 3 weeks. They sent me emails asking me to discontinue as I wouldn't win. Went infront of a judge and won all 3.    Just remember the law is on your side. The judges will be aware of this.   Where you can its important to try to point out at the hearing the specific part of the contract they breached. I found this was very helpful and the Judge made reference to it when they gave their judgements and it seemed this was pretty important as once you have identified a specific breach the matter turns straight to liability. From there its a case of pointing out the unlawfullness of their insurance and then that should be it.
    • I know dx and thanks again for yours and others help. I was 99.999% certain last payment was over six years ago if not longer.  👍
    • Paragraph 23 – "standard industry practice" – put this in bold type. They are stupid to rely on this and we might as well carry on emphasising how stupid they are. I wonder why they could even have begun to think some kind of compelling argument – "the other boys do it so I do it as well…" Same with paragraph 26   Paragraph 45 – The Defendants have so far been unable to produce any judgements at any level which disagree with the three judgements…  …court, but I would respectfully request…   Just the few amendments above – and I think it's fine. I think you should stick to the format that you are using. This has been used lots of times and has even been applauded by judges for being meticulous and clear. You aren't a professional. Nobody is expecting professional standards and although it's important that you understand exactly what you are doing – you don't really want to come over to the judge that you have done this kind of thing before. As a litigant in person you get a certain licence/leeway from judges and that is helpful to you – especially if you are facing a professional advocate. The way this is laid out is far clearer than the mess that you will get from EVRi. Quite frankly they undermine their own credibility by trying to say that they should win simply because it is "standard industry practice". It wouldn't at all surprise me if EVRi make you a last moment offer of the entire value of your claim partly to avoid judgement and also partly to avoid the embarrassment of having this kind of rubbish exposed in court. If they do happen to do that, then you should make sure that they pay everything. If they suddenly make you an out-of-court offer and this means that they are worried that they are going to lose and so you must make sure that you get every penny – interest, costs – everything you claimed. Finally, if they do make you an out-of-court offer they will try to sign you up to a confidentiality agreement. The answer to that is absolutely – No. It's not part of the claim and if they want to settle then they settle the claim as it stands and don't try add anything on. If they want confidentiality then that will cost an extra £1000. If they don't like it then they can go do the other thing. Once you have made the amendments suggested above – it should be the final version. court,. I don't think we are going to make any more changes. Your next job good to make sure that you are completely familiar with it all. That you understand the arguments. Have you made a court familiarisation visit?
    • just type no need to keep hitting quote... as has already been said, they use their own criteria. if a person is not stated as linked to you on your file then no cant hurt you. not all creditors use every CRA provider, there are only 3 main credit file providers mind, the rest are just 3rd party data sharers. if you already have revolving credit on your file there is no need to apply for anything just 'because' you need to show you can handle money. if you have bank account(s) and a mortgage which you are servicing (paying) then nothing more can improve your score, despite what these 'scam' sites claiml  its all a CON!!

    • 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.

Hello

 

I am talking with Peachy to setup a repayment plan. I took the amount due and split it over 10 months so it's affordable whilst I pay for a council tax arrear that has surfaced from 2 years ago.

 

The counter offered with a 12 month plan adding a 1% daily interest rate adding over £200 to the total, can they do this? I thought it was the loan plus original interest they could charge?

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks

A foolish man

Tell them NO. if they refuse to stop ALL interest and charges on the account, you pay them £1 a month. End of. There is no obligation for them to stop interest and charges, but it is a violation of OFT guidance if they dont, as they wouldnt be taking the debtors circumstance sin to account. More-so they are profiting off your circumstances.

 

Your council tax is more important, so these can take a running jump. If they went near a court, you can easily tell a judge you had high priority debts to take care of, but CG thought they were more important.

 

Stick to your guns.

 

Also, could you post the contents of the letter you got from CG that said that?

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Also, could you post the contents of the letter you got from CG that said that?

 

Here is the email;

 

Since you have stated that you are not able to make the payment in

full, we have been willing to arrange a repayment plan for you, so

that you could pay the debt off in parts. We have even been willing

make the repayment plan offer to you without the required evidence of

change in financial difficulty and the respective income and

axpenditure sheet. However, as it is with all other purchases - in

case you wish to pay for something in parts and over a longer period,

the total amount to be paid, will be higher then the amount you would

need to pay if you would make the payment in one go. As previously

explained, there will be no penalty charges added for the overdue time

during the repayment plan period, however a small daily interest will

remain (because the funds that have been issued will be returned over

a longer time period) and thus the total amount of the repayment plan

will be higher then the current balance. It is the same with all

purchases that you wish to pay for in installments.

 

We have no obligation to arrange 0% repayment plans.

 

This has been our best and final offer.cleardot.gif

They are playing the guilt trip. They also breach OFT guidelines by adding on interest despite you stating you cant afford to repay them. Therefore, they are trying their normal trick of blackmailing you into a repayment plan you cant afford under penalty of the debt increasing even more.

Hello,

 

Peachy emailed me today stating the following;

 

You have the option to agree or to disagree.

 

As you have not confirmed the repayment plan offer then please note,

we act as follows:

 

 

We charge you interest at the rate applicable of 1% per day (fixed)

(365% per annum);

 

1 day after the due date we will send you an overdue reminder

resulting in a £25 administrative fee and interest on the principle

sum at the rate applicable of 1% per day to be added to your loan.

 

3 days after the repayment date another overdue reminder including a

£12 administrative fee and interest on the principal sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

7 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £12

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

14 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £12

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

21 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £12

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

28 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £12

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

35 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £12

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

42 days after the repayment date an overdue reminder including a £49

administrative fee and interest on the principle sum at the rate

applicable of 1% per day will be sent.

 

If you have not repaid the full amount of loan including

administrative fees and interest by the 45th day of the loan cycle we

will hand your debt over to our Debt Collection Partner.

 

Please note that we might charge you with other reasonable costs that

have incurred as a result of you missing your payments, such as

reasonable legal costs or the additional costs that would involve

instructing a debt collection agency to recover amounts that are due

from you. Late repayments may affect your credit rating and may result

in legal action.

 

What would be the best way to reply to them? Im at a loss...

I'd tell them to bog off and that all those charges are unlawful and unenforceable. They are also in breach of OFT guidance.

So I emailed them and said

You are breaching OFT guidance yet again. You state that you are going to add nearly £150 in charges as well as extortionate interest. This is not considered reasonable costs and I will make a complaint to the OFT and the Financial Ombudsman should you do this. You should not continue to add interest and charges to someone in financial difficulty. I will give you one last opportunity to accept my offer as I would like to resolve this in the fastest time possible. I was being reasonable, but you being a payday loan shark believed you could bully me into submission, you believe that you can ignore regulations and guidelines and make your own rules up. You are wrong. In the meantime please provide me with bank details that I require to make payment as I believe that you withholding this information from me is deliberate action by you to prevent me from paying to get me further in debt with you.
and the reply I had was basically the same as before plus some 'getting advise' statements
Thank you for the e-mail. As responsible lenders, we always aim to help our customers in financial difficulties and be understanding and fair and conduct our business in compliance with all relevant legislation, regulations, regulatory guidance and requirements. We always exercise forbearance and consideration of debtor's circumstances, in particular in relation to those who are particularly vulnerable or experiencing severe financial hardship. However, we have no obligation to arrange 0% repayment plans. The current nominal APR of your loan is 365.25%. In the offer that was sent to you, the APR was 60%, so we have already agreed to decrease the interests rate significantly. Since you have stated that you are not able to make the payment in full, we have been willing to arrange a repayment plan for you, so that you could pay the debt off in parts. However, as it is with all other purchases - in case you wish to pay for something in parts and over a longer period, the total amount to be paid, will be higher then the amount you would need to pay if you would make the payment in one go (because the funds that have been issued will be returned over a longer time period) and thus the total amount of the repayment plan will be higher then the original balance. It is the same with all purchases that you wish to pay for in instalments. Please be advised that even in case you join a Debt Management Agency, the creditors are not obligated to freeze the interests completely. It has been our best and final offer.

I'm going to highlight the most important aspect of their reply email:

 

It is important that you receive correct advice and assistance from properly authorized people, such as the free advice organisations listed below.

Have you spoken to any of the organizations they provided contact information for?

 

Given that you are apparently unwilling or unable to provide evidence of a change in your circumstances their offer seems reasonable.

You dont need to speak to any of those organisations, unless you want piece of mind. They have shown completely that they know we are right and they are adding on unlawful charges and interest purely for profit and also ignoring OFT guidelines.

(Please note this is not aimed at you renegadeimp. I can see you obviously have a dislike for finance companies and I admire that, I'm simply offering some free advice to the OP.)

 

For the sake of brevity I'll simply post a link to the below page and quote from it as required:

 

nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/page.php?page=35_options_for_dealing_with_your_debts

 

(removed prefix due to my post count being too low)

 

Normally, you work out your offers of payment based on a pro-rata distribution of your available income, after you have worked out what you have to pay on your essential household outgoings. This means that all your creditors are offered a fair share of what you can afford to pay. You also need to ask that any interest and charges are frozen.

 

You may need to offer no payments if you have no available income. This is called a ‘moratorium’. You may prefer to make token offers of payment of £1 a month to each creditor. Creditors are only likely to accept this for a short time.

 

The first underlined part is essentially the reason they requested an income and expenditure from yourself, so they can establish exactly how much is reasonable for you to pay. If there is any reason to question information provided in the income and expenditure they may require supporting documents before accepting the proposed arrangement.

 

Some creditors may also request documents to support your claim of a change in circumstances if they have any reason at all to believe it may not be true. And, contrary to popular belief, they are not required to accept any and every offer thrown at them.

 

As for accepting £1 per month, they may accept it for a short time if necessary. Many will likely actually accept it for much longer if you have important priority debts to deal with first.

 

You should also likely accept that them taking you to court is a real possibility. They will usually only do this if you meet a few set criteria, such as them knowing your current address (they may have this whether you've given it to them or not) and whether or not they believe you are employed. It may be worth googling around a little and seeing if Peachy issue large numbers of claims on a regular basis, if not you may be ok. Some companies don't.

 

Either way, you should still probably phone one of the advice organizations that Peachy listed in their email to you. You will receive much better advice than could be provided on forums like these, especially given the limited amount of information you can realistically provide us and the unknown level of expertise of the posters.

 

I would personally advise either Stepchange who can be reached on 0800 138 1111, or Citizens Advice on 08444 111 444. Both are free phone numbers, and both will provide better advice in a shorter time frame than you could possibly receive on here.

I dont dislike them at all. What I dislike are their business practices, the way they harass and threaten debtors plus the almost illegal intimidation tactics some of them use.

I find it strange that this is how you interpreted my post, but hey.

 

Also, there is no point stating "I don't dislike them", and then essentially saying you dislike them in the very next breath. Some do engage in border-line illegal behaviour (and a few companies like MMF very likely cross that line at times), but this thread is not about that.

 

This thread is about a specific lender offering a specific balance for a payment plan, and the OPs options in this regard.

No. Not strange how i interpreted it at all. We've seen many posts like this. The charges are added on purely to create them a profit, especially when they have ignored the debtors circumstances. Sure, there should be some negotiation both ways, but you seem to take the stance that CAG's info is wrong. Which is strange as our advice is the same as NDL's, stepchange and the CAB. Again, the info you post, coming from a brand new poster commenting on a random thread.....

My information was quoted directly from national debt line, and conflicts with your own advice, so I do not believe your advice is the same.

 

In regard to the OFT, they advise only that creditors allow for "alternative, affordable, repayment amounts when a reasonable proposal is made by a debtor". In this case Peachy have given contact information for free debt advice agencies, and they've requested an income and expenditure form be completed to set up a reasonable payment plan. They've then essentially just quoted verbatim their terms and conditions in regard to charges because they aren't going to freeze the account, because the OP will not complete the requested income and expenditure.

 

It is not a breach of any OFT guidance to refuse to freeze interest or charges on an account for a £1 per month offer, and it is not good advice to try and use offers of token payments as some kind of threat. In fact I would go so far as to say advising people to do so is downright irresponsible.

 

Quite simply, advice like this is the reason that debtors who genuinely are struggling are required to show evidence of this fact. Because people like yourself advise everyone to make this offer, irrespective of circumstances, and you mislead them into believing the creditor is obliged to accept it or freeze interest/charges.

 

In regard to Peachy, I'd question their 1-day overdue £25 fee. Or the weekly £12 charges that serve as overdue reminders, but given that they've agreed to waive these in this case it seems irrelevant. If they're applying them whilst you're clearly talking to them to negotiate a payment plan, you could probably make a pretty good case for a FOS complaint on that basis but I'd advise getting peachy to put in writing that they've been applied and that they refuse to waive them first.

 

It might also be worth asking Peachy to send you their complaints procedure, and make a formal complaint directly to them in writing. FOS will be pretty annoyed if they don't issue a final response and that way you can get their intent, and everything they're requesting from you, set down clearly in writing.

 

Other than that I'd say you essentially have two choices:

 


    Enter into a charges-free repayment plan with interest still being applied to the account


    Show them evidence of your change in circumstances, and if they refuse to freeze interest then make a FOS complaint

 

DO NOT follow renegade imp's advice of arbitrarily offering £1 per month, if you do it will severely weaken your position should you make a complaint against the company as they will easily be able to show they had reason to doubt your offer was sincere. If you do decide the follow that advice, ring one of the debt advice organizations first and go over it with them.

NDL has to 'play it safe' They dont go by the history of what Specific creditors will and will not do. They have a one size fits all approach which is understandable.

 

The £1 a month offer is used if the creditor is blatantly adding on charges and not adhering to guidelines. The reason being that if they refuse to stop charges and interest despite you showing you cannot afford more then there is absolutely no point paying them more till they agree to your repayment plan.

 

You also seem to forget, they are a LOW PRIORITY creditor and must be treated as such in respect to your financial circumstances. Too many times PDL's think they are high priority creditors and we have new posters like you agreeing with them when you do not know the history of them. You say my advice is wrong, i find your posts rather suspicious given you are a new poster who chose to post on a random thread of a well known PDL that loves to fleece people.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

And yes, much of the advice provided on CAG is incorrect. A co-worker actually directed me to these forums for this very reason, on seeing some of the advice given to forum users her exact words were "people should require a license to post on the internet".

 

Quite simply these are internet forums, and like all internet forums a lot of different users will post or perpetuate information sometimes with somewhat dubious working knowledge of the actual topic.

 

I also don't really understand the relevance of your references to the information I'm posting, or the age of this account. Nor is the thread random, I was typing the names of various companies in to see what clients thought of them and "Peachy" returned this.

Of course they are a low priority creditor, I can't think of anything that would ever be lower priority, however has the OP shown any evidence to the creditor that this council tax arrears actually exists? Or that their situation would not allow them to repay the loan on time?

 

If someone takes out a short term loan, then requests a payment plan within this time frame having claimed a substantial change in circumstances it is reasonable to request evidence. This is what the OP seems to have refused to provide Peachy.

 

Your advice is also quite poor, you could phone any of those free debt advice agencies and they'll tell you the same. I don't mean to sound rude when stating this, but you've repeated it numerous times and I'd like the OP to avoid following it. Your assumption that I do not know the history of pay day lenders is also incorrect, however any infractions on their part will always be viewed on a case by case basis and will not take into account the lender's history.

 

I will admit my knowledge of pay day loans is relatively limited, but it's still probably more substantial than many other's. I don't feel it's really worth me learning too much about them given that the upcoming CPA changes will likely end, or completely reform, this particular part of the consumer credit industry anyway.
