    • If it is MCB    National Fraud Database Members | Preventing Fraud Losses | Cifas WWW.CIFAS.ORG.UK A range of organisations use the National Fraud Database to share data on confirmed fraud cases, preventing over £1 billion in fraud losses every year.   They are on the register  
    • Hi @LilMissM   I guess you could call me our resident CIFAS Specialist - Personally have been through all of what you have and now have come out the other side when my marker fell off in May 2023. For a start Monzo may close your account but as I had a Marker for App Fraud (Vodafone ended up making a whole hoohah of the account I had with them) - I was with them and still am from Oct 2017 till today. And not once did they close my account. I actually spoke to a couple of current account providers at the time that I had accounts with - Nationwide and Barclays - Told them what was going on and provided all the evidence to them. They advised they may do so but it was highly unlikely now that they understood why it happened and what I was doing to fight it.    Anyway - On to your marker. MCB is My Community Bank?  I can say to you that on experience that On Monday you can be on top of the world then on Tuesday you whole life changes in a flash of an eye. Suddenly you cant pay your bills, Work isnt feasible and you are left with no other choice but to scrape by.  If this has happened to you, then join the club.  - Why is this important? Well Financial institutions get one whiff of potential fraud and you are guilty without a chance to respond. You found out the hard way   If it sounds like I'm waffling, I'm not - Its important to your issue. They have deemed you guilty by the fact that no payments have been made and potentially entered into a loan agreement knowing looking not to pay (Although thats how it may appear, there will always be factors against that)    First off - Questions - What Category of Marker do you have? If unsure, check my signature for a Credit File Guide which will tell you all you need to know about what Categories apply.  - When did you raise the complaint? They will have 8 weeks to respond. More on this in a mo.  - Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan?   My next suggestions, Send this complaint to the CEOs office - CEOEMAIL.COM Let them make the decision as per the Complaint Procedure. Then if they refuse to remove the marker. take it to the FOS who can force the company to remove it if found in favour.  Some companies do need a slap or 2 once in a while to bring them down a peg. You could be looking at this right now.   
    • Other case law relied upon " On other record of reasons "
    • Page 2 – document 10 and 11 – you should include the fact that it is a Law reform commission report. Best to give it its full name if you can I suggest that you move paragraph 10 up to the first position – paragraph 5 and move everything down. I think other than that – it is good to go. I suggest you don't bother to do any more drafts. Simply rearrange the paragraphs as I suggested above then the title of the documents that you are relying on in the index page. Send it off and post your final version here so that everybody can see. I'm sorry about the delay. Thanks for reminding me
    • I have recently found myself in financial difficulties and with the help of forum members in another thread regarding this, I think I can get myself sorted. My query here is how to deal with a Cifas marker that has been logged against me by one of my creditors for "evasion of payment". Admittedly yes I did get a £5000 loan with them and have not paid any payment but at the start of the year, which is when the loan landed, I realised I was going to be struggling to repay that and other debts and I contacted MCB to ask if there was any way I could extend the loan from 24 months to 36 months. I explained my situation and that I was going with a DMP and asked them if they could help me with this. They did not reply. I then emailed them again a month later explaining that my DMP was going ahead and could they confirm that the direct debit was indeed cancelled. Again, they did not reply. The DMP fell apart and so did everything else thereafter. My bank withdrew my overdraft and said I could not stay with them (I thought initially that it was because of the DMP) so I opened another account (Starling) and set up all my direct debits etc with the new bank. A month into being with the new bank, they contacted me and said they were closing my account in three months. So I started applying for other basic accounts and every single one of them either refused or revoked.  Through the help in the other thread, I requested a SAR from Cifas and discovered that I have this marker against my name for "evasion of payment". I have logged a complaint with MCB on the advice of other forum members, but my query really is do you think the marker is fair given that I did ask them for help and I did explain that I was going to be struggling financially to repay the loan over the original two years, and is there any way that I can get it removed? I fully admit that I have yet to make a payment to them and I suppose in my naivety and panic I thought if I emailed them early on they could extend the loan and help me out, but they didn't even reply  I did manage to open an account with Monzo before the marker was in place, but I am very concerned that if Monzo do what Starling did, I will have no bank account to pay my bills or get my wages paid into.  Realistically based on the information I have given here, what do you think my chances are of getting this marker removed? Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated x

    • 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.

Hi p

I have read this thread,and I think I'm right in thinking that you are considering employing a solicitor who have quoted you 5k. Apologies if this is wrong. If is the case DONT.

C/O are very difficult to stop once you have a Ccj.

Very wrong Imo but that's the reality, pay your instalments go to hearing if you wish, and argue your case.

I wouldn,t hold out any hopes though.It's security by ignorance, were the majority of people in this scenerio will pay off the debt when they sell there property etc,or believe they are trapped by an illusion.

All the best

I think you've come round to the conclusion that the CO will be granted.. as advised on the other thread thats what was agreed to.

 

I personally would concentrate on

 

a) Ensuring the FOS know that MBNA have not complied with their order and get them to enforce it, its not up to you to chase MBNA, FOS should have done this.

b) Ensure Restons/MBNA know that you know your rights as per interest on CCA regulated debts... take a look at Sequenci's blog on interest and hopefully take some pointers from this.

Thank you for your letters dated 21/Feb/2011 asking me to telephone you to discuss my “accounts”. I will of course not be doing this.

I am curious to know how you arrive at the figures you have quoted in the letters and ask you to prove to me how you or MBNA arrived at these figures. I would hope that you know these figures are incorrect and would also know that interest

should not have been added to the amounts from when I put these accounts into legal dispute and is still not allowed to be added . Perhaps you should check with your representative with whom I spoke at Derby Combined Court and who accepted my offer to pay off the debt at £100/month.

May I also take this opportunity to remind you that MBNA have still to honour the terms of the fos

investigation from over a year ago, something I would hope they would put right without me having to take the matter further.

Thats correct caro. 1+2=3 .1 was the total of the 2 mbna accounts. 2 were Restons costs and 3 is the 2 added together.£13k, which is about double what i say it should be. Where the hell they get the figures in post 858 from God only knows!

Thank you all for your help folks. :-)

Valid reasons to have your judgements 'set aside' (to be used on n244 form)

[*]Did you agree with the full amount of the judgement at the time, but now only agree with part of the amount?

I would appeal on no9.Whats the chances?

 

Should I be thinking of a set aside? on the grounds of no9 in the above

 

I'm not convinced about that. I believe you're saying that the figures Restons are now asking for are not the same as the judgement, so it's not the judgement figures that you're now disputing.

 

That's just what springs to mind and others who are more knowledgeable may disagree.

In post #684 they say they fefunded ppi premiums,they later deny this in the WS, so the amount they sued me for is incorrect. The Restons solicitor was supposed to have taken this into account but didn't and in the heat of the moment i forgot to bring it up.

In that case no 9 appears relevant.

I can't see any harm is submitting a WS showing the clear facts. KEEP IT SIMPLE though otherwise it will just look messy and it will be overlooked.

 

Stick to the clear facts.

 

It may just delay the CO, you may end up reclaiming the PPI separately (can't see why that should not be possible) Then you'd get a cheque for it.

 

Very murky waters IMO - you really need to seek out some 'qualified advice'

Mailed to FOS, similar to http://www.sra.org.uk/consumers/consumers.page, fsa and oft.

 

Dear Sir,

I have recently had a CCJ awarded against me at Derby Combined Court as a result of my dispute with MBNA EBL and feel I need to complain again to you about MBNA and their practices.

 

The amount they and their “friends” at Restons have sued me for is nearly £13000 which includes £3000 court costs to keep Restons in the lap of luxury. It has now been brought to my attention that this is incorrect and that they know that this is the case. For a start they have never refunded me the agreed amounts at the conclusion of your investigation over a year ago. The amount also includes mis-sold PPI and unlawful charges and overlimit fees.

I have now received two letters from Restons offering me a “discount “ if I pay off both my accounts before 13/3/2011. They say one account is for £12775.34 and the other is for £2515.47 !

 

I am now in writing accusing MBNA and Restons of being dishonest and Mbna unfit to hold a credit licence. I am very disappointed at the lack of effectiveness of the FOS.

 

Quite frankly , it looks to me as if MBNA are a law unto themselves and with the help of Restons are ripping people off left right and centre.

I know what I owe MBNA and have no problem with paying it back at the agreed amount of £100 pm but I’m damn sure I’m not going to be ripped off for anymore.

 

Yours faithfully

For the moment I think it's more important to draw the errors to the attention of the court. Take copies of the letters with you for the judge and oppositions legal representative.

 

Let the court know that you are foster carers and that this may have repercussions for you and the child(ren) that you care for.

 

Can you confirm that you can afford the £100 a month being asked for? If not make sure that the judge is aware of this and take a budget sheet to prove your dilemma.

 

Ask if you can appeal the judgement because you now believe there are errors in the information the court originally had.

CO granted. Judge said they cannot apply for a sale order if i pay the agreed amount every month. MBNA are also nowhere near front of the queue 'cos of our mortgage, a loan and my wife.

 

I showed him the evidence about why I think the amounts are wrong and we both felt he was suggesting I should challenge the court order. He did say tho' that the CO would still stand even on a lower figure.

 

Interest was not mentioned.

IMHO I do not think a set aside would do you any good, as it would just mean they would sort the figure out and then re apply the CO.

 

BUT I do not see any reason for you now not to claim back the PPI and actually receive a cheque (they cannot offset it as it is now a Judgment debt)

 

The cash in your hand may actually be better than reducing the debt by x amount (even if you put it in the bank)

First of all thanks to everyone for help and best wishes.

My figures make the debt just under £10k, without the amounts to be taken off as agreed by FOS (£2k), they continued to add interest and charges after I'd put into dispute 'cos they failed to provide the correct or legible paperwork. I think I will claim PPI and the charges and not go for a set aside. How are people doing claiming CCI on PPI? Spreadsheets are already done, just need to find the time to do court stuff. The "agent" of Restons looked a little shocked when I informed her about reporting to SRA,FOS,FSA and OFTand went off to spend some time on her laptop typing away. I've not finished with these scumbags,just need to get my mojo back ! I've won over £10k back for friends and family and can't sort myself out. I will be back !

Many thanks
