    • Feeling tempted to cancel it now but scared that some of the debts will do more Ccj on me and I'll have to wait 6 years again.  2 of the Ccj come of this year and then I'll only have the iva in credit file - so effectivly if I'd have not took out the iva I 2021 I'd have clear score by now - but then again would I because I would have been hounded the last 3 years so as bad as it is it's saves me lots of headaches whilst my debt was still within the 6 year mark.  I think most of them are near there but in all honesty no point chasing them if I do cancel iva I'd jjst wait for the ones who contact me and then start the relevant letter process on them.  Of over 6 years easy if not still possible to write off.    My true victory would be having the iva wiped off my credit file as misold or something that way I. Don't have to wait till 2027 Other option is to fight back and ask for them to offer the creditors to accept payments so far and use the following method    Will your IVA firm agree to complete your IVA on the basic of funds paid to date? The Guidance lists a lot of factors to be considered in deciding whether a settlement on the basis of funds paid to date should be proposed. You should read the list. But that may not give you any feel for whether they apply to you or not. The following are my thoughts on when an IVA should be treated as settled, not failed. They assume that you have £75 or less to pay a month: if you would currently qualify for a Debt Relief Order, then your IVA should be settled now  There is no point in making your IVA fail and you have to apply for a DRO – it will not generate another penny for your creditors. If you are renting and owe less than £50,000, check the DRO criteria now and talk to National Debtline on 0808 808 4000 about whether you qualify. You may have been told at the start of your IVA that you aren’t eligible – still check now as the DRO criteria have changed, your situation has got worse, and some people were given incorrect information about DROs at the start. if you have no assets that would be realised in bankruptcy (eg a house with equity, car worth over £2000), then your IVA should be settled now Same as (1), there is no point in making you apply for bankruptcy after your IVA fails. if your only asset is a car that is worth less than £8000, then your IVA should be settled now A car that is worth say £5000 would normally be sold in bankruptcy and you would be given a small amount to buy a cheaper car. But your creditors would not get any benefit from this as the Insolvency Service takes the first £8000 raised to cover its own costs. if you have significant assets, the closer you are to the end of the IVA, the less reasonable it is to fail it If you have been paying your IVA for 4 years, you have done your best over a long period. It isn’t your fault you can no longer continue. The fact you may have had equity to release isn’t relevant as that simply isn’t going to be possible. if your situation will clearly improve soon, then it’s unlikely your IVA will be settled I mean real improvements, not hoping that prices fall. If I can get them to accept payment to date or threaten with cancellation hopefully they may accept it -    Other option is to try and borrow money and pay make a full and final offer    Or I can just ignore and hope for the best which I'm very tempted to do especially if they respond to my review with bullying tactics despite me being skint as a fart with no mortgage as renting    It's so stressful but I've just checked the iva agreement from 2021 and it's Cabot 2 account Lowel about 5 accounts and then lots of repeats of the same debt with for example zopa and Cabot same amount listed twice -  also loyyds banks but I'm sure that's older than 6 years and not on credit file anyway    If I can somehow remove the iva from my creitt file I'd be happy   
    • Sorry I meant credit fix - I really wish I'd known this before - kicking myself right now  If they come back to me asking for more money I'll cancel it and start trying to deal with the debt myself let's see what they say

    • 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.

I recently paid off my RBS credit card in full, but two days later RBS attempted to take a direct debit payment from my account. Since I closed by RBS account and switched to Smile, the direct debit was not in place (I never switched it as I intended to cancel the card).

 

I had not bothered logging into RBS online banking to check my statement as I considered my business done with RBS, aside from a letter needing to be sent to cancel the card. Since their was a postal strike a few weeks back, I hadn't received a statement for the card, but I just happened to log in and strangely enough, 2 days after taking the money to clear the card balance, they attempted to take a minimum payment that would have been correct had I not paid the balance in full. The payment was rejected as no agreement was in place and the payment was reversed. RBS then added a late payment fee, followed by interest and payment protection.

 

 

They have since added more charges for me not paying the previous balance they had arrived at all by themselves.

 

Surely this can't be right. Not only are they slapping illegal charges on me but are doing so based on a zero balance!!

 

Anyone have any ideas how to tackle this one? I am thinking that they either zero the balance, ensure my credit record does not show I have not missed payments, and then close the account. Otherwise the FSA can deal with them and that's before I go for the last 2 years worth of charges! Is that the right approach do you think?

I wonder if MBNA are the new Enron :roll:

Yup, you will unfortunately have to go through their compaints procedure (ask for a copy of this and don't just ring, as sometimes companies atke it as an "informal" complaint". if your complaint is not resolved within 8 weeks, report them to the FOS, who will then charge them £400 for the privelege of investigating your complaint.

All help is merely my opinion only - please seek legal advice if you need to as I am only qualified in SEN law.

Try talking to them first and explain their error to them- it would be useful to get rid of this issue amicably before you go after them for the other charges.

What has happened is that the direct debit will have been initiated before your card payment has cleared the balance, as direct debits are set up in advance of the payment date so on the date the amount is debited.

 

It's just a simple cross over and if you talk to them they should remove the charges. When I worked for a credit card company it was a cause for no questions asked full refund. I'd imagine it would be the same with RBS.

More evidence of the joys of direct debit, I'm slowly swtiching any companies I don't trust over to satanidng order leaving me in control.

The views I express here are mere speculation based on my experience. I am not qualified nor insured to give legal advice and any action you take will be at your own risk.

I received a letter of apology and the charges have been rufunded. Although my letter stated that I wanted them to close the account, they also asked if I actually want them to do that or they would be more than happy to send me a replacement card! I guess if they see a customer who has actually been quite a good one, they don't want to loose them. Maybe I'll keep it open and transfer my balance from the now even more awful Egg.

I wonder if MBNA are the new Enron :roll:
