    • In terms of "why didn't I make a claim" - well, that has to be understood in the context of the long-standing legal battle and all its permuations with the shark. In essence there was a repo and probable fire sale of the leasehold property - which would have led to me initiating the complaint/ claim v SPF in summer 19. But there was no quick sale. And battle commenced and it ain't done yet 5y later. A potential sale morphed into trying to do a debt deal and then into a full blown battle heading to trial - based on the shark deliberately racking up costs just so the ceo can keep the property for himself.  Along the way they have launched claims in 4 different counties -v- me - trying to get a backdoor B. (Haven't yet succeeded) Simultaneously I got dragged into a contentious forfeiture claim and then into a lease extension debacle - both of which lasted 3y. (I have an association with the freeholders and handled all that legal stuff too) I had some (friend paid for) legal support to begin with.  But mostly I have handled every thing alone.  The sheer weight of all the different cases has been pretty overwhelming. And tedious.  I'm battling an aggressive financial shark that has investors giving them 00s of millions. They've employed teams of expensive lawyers and barristers. And also got juniors doing the boring menial tasks. And, of course, in text book style they've delayed issues on purpose and then sent 000's of docs to read at the 11th hour. Which I not only boringly did read,  but also simultaneously filed for ease of reference later - which has come in very handy in speeding up collating legal bundles and being able to find evidence quickly.  It's also how I found out the damning stuff I could use -v- them.  Bottom line - I haven't really had a moment to breath for 5y. I've had to write a statement recently. And asked a clinic for advice. One of the volunteers asked how I got into this situation.  Which prompted me to say it all started when I got bad advice from a broker. Which kick-started me in to thinking I really should look into making some kind of formal complaint -v- the broker.  Which is where I am now.  Extenuating circumstances as to why I'm complaining so late.  But hopefully still in time ??

    • 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.

Evening everybody - Happy new year

 

I do not understand default dates very much but am under the belief an account will be defaulted around 3-6 months after last payment?

 

I have just received a response from equifax about a dispute I raised because I believed the default date was wrong.

 

 

The default on my equifax record from Creation finance is dated 11/2010

- the last payment to them (as confirmed) by their response is Jan 09.

They have said that the information recorded is correct and that the 'charge off date' was 11/10.

 

Is the charge off date the same as the default date?

 

 

Are they allowed to wait 675 days from last payment to default an account?

 

 

they have added AP markers up until May 2010 and then started the 6 month count until default.

 

They have said that if I still dispute I need to send documents so they can investigate?

 

 

What documents?

 

 

I don't ever remember receiving a default notice

- but by their own admissions they have said that they didn't default until a year and 10 months later.

 

 

Can they default so long after last payment?

 

What should I do next please

 

Many thanks

Hi DX

 

No it's not that one, that one is paid and gone.

 

This is an old Adams store card that was being paid back with token payments since 2006

and put into dispute back in 2009 as they failed to provide any CCA.

 

 

The account as far as I remember has never been sold on to a DCA,

the only action since 2006 (when token payments started) has been random fees and interest added:

 

Statement date 6 August 2007

Interest for Purchase £5X.XX

 

Statement date 5 September 2007

Interest for Purchase £5X.XX

These two additions put it over limit

 

Statement date 3 June 2010

Over limit fee £2X.XX

Interest for Purchase £5X.XX

 

Statement date 5 July 2010

Over limit fee £2X.XX

Default sum fee – Late £2X.XX

Interest for purchase £5X.XX

 

Statement date 04 August 2010

Over limit fee £2X.XX

Interest for purchase £5X.XX

 

Statement date 04 September 2010

Over limit fee £2X.XX

 

These fees only came to light after a SAR, and there was no DN provided.

 

 

I have previously written to Creation asking them to explain and remove them but never received an answer.

 

 

It was only reading other threads recently that it appears they waited an unreasonably long time before defaulting

so I am trying to get them to change the default date.

 

Thanks

Am I able to make a complaint to Creation Finance (and FCA? or ICO?) about the amount of time they took to default this?

 

 

the debt became statute barred on Friday,

 

 

but will appear on my credit file for another 22 months because they defaulted

1 year and 10 months after last payment?

 

Thanks guys

Thanks for that DX, I was just looking on the ICO website for it.

 

That says that they should default between 3-6 months, as I suspected, but your 'but' above makes me think I'm missing something? (it's late and I'm a bit slow anyway :|) Can you let me know if I'm missing a point somewhere please.

 

I have just been reading through DBYs thread who had the same problem and it seems I am going to have problems getting this corrected.

 

Thanks for your time DX

there used to be in the old guidelines

that the ICO typically rules in favour of the debtor.

in that 3-6mts is reasonable

 

 

outside that

like the infamous AP markers

they were unfair and should be amended

 

 

however, that bit has been removed from the new guidelines.

 

 

that's the but......

Ahhh, I see. Thanks for pointing it out.

 

I'll complain to creation first anyway as I'm interested to know why they took so long to default it? I could do with cheering up and I'm sure their Jackonory will do it!!

And if they don't change the date I will make a complaint to the ICO anyway.

 

Thanks again DX

Hi,

 

Just wondering if you ever got a reply from Creation as to why they took so long to default you .

 

 

I have the same kind of situation,

defaulted on my payments back in 2008

and never heard a peep out of Creation,

 

 

they never tried to chase the debt etc but kept marking my credit file as 6 late payments rather than a default,

they did this up to 2014 when the debt should have become statute barred

and the month before they issued me with a defualt which has been on my file ever since (early last year).

 

 

I have logged in to Experian this week to check my credit score and it had jumped up by 200 points,

had a look and the default from Creation has disappeared,

 

 

just wondered if they have had a case against them and lost meaning they have to amend the late defaulted files ?
