    • 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
    • Thank you dx, that is what I intend to do now. I have gone through all the SAR documents, a lot of which I am seeing for the first time! As per my previous post #116 letters and statements alleged to have been sent to me, as recorded on their system notes I have not received. Letters I have sent requesting information and account statements have not been recorded as being received by them, all were sent either by Recorded or Special Delivery. I have all the proof you menrtioned from my files for payments and from their SAR info for fees added. Thanks t

    • 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.

Quick update regards my Credit Card. This morning got a 'YOU SHOULD READ THIS CAREFULLY' Default Notice letter

 

I have never yet had a reply from these idiots regarding my circumstances, and they have failed to even acknowledge any letters that I have written to them, or answer any of my queries Instead they just skirt around the issue and send threat after threat.

Anyway first thing Monday it will be CCA time for definate, so any templates and addresses for Lloyds Mastercard would be really appreciated.

 

Thanks

Hi Pete,

 

Hope you mending real quick mate, looks like your going to have to to sort these clowns out.

 

Like I`ve been saying all along, they don`t care about you, they just want your money, so fight back anyway you can.

 

At least once you CCA them you will then have a clear and legal dispute, that will just play into your hands if they still muck you about.

 

It`s getting on now, so I`ll dig out my CCA and follow-ups for you sometime tomorrow, probably in the evening, then you can get them checked over from others if you want, ready to post Monday.

 

Let the beatings begin!

 

Right, have a good rest mate, catch you tomorrow some time.

 

Regards

Due to unforseen circumstances I haven't sent the CCA request yet. So do I just send it to the Collections Centre in Andover. These are the people dealing with my account at the moment.

 

Thanks

Evening everyone,

 

I recently read on a thread on here that the letter (N) in the Template Library is not suitable for a Credit Card CCA request. I think it was something to do with the sections that it referred to in the Template letter. I can't remember where I read it though, so does anyone have an amended one that is suitable ?

 

Thanks.

 

Pete.

Hi Pete,

 

It doesn`t matter which letter you send anyway, the idiots won`t read it and send you another `you are behind with your payments` letter.

 

So just send it.

 

Or, you could use the one off my thread if you want, it`s slightly longer and will confuse them even more, if they do decide to read it.

  • 1 month later...

Just a few questions regarding this:

Wrote in January and they still didn't reply or acknowledge. Since then I have had a threatogram in February and a Default Notice at the end of February. April a letter from SC&M, but I doubt this is serious as it was dated 1st April :)

In between I'm obviously getting my monthly bill which I am still paying £1 towards the arrears. Now my last statement under Account Information contains the following, word for word :

 

Your account is seriously overdue and in view of this we have instructed a Debt Collection Agent, MHA Collections. If you are unable to make the payment on this statement, you must contact them immeadiately on 0870 010 1977.

Instructed them to do what exactly ? :)

Is this really classed as communicating in writing ? Rather than sending a 'proper' letter.

The card is now near to being maxed out due to them still adding interest each month, can they take it over the card limit ?

I am still getting calls from Lloyds but due to the fact I don't answer (just log it) I don't know whether it is regards the credit card or loan for certain although loan have agreed a 3 month token payment deal.

Do calls from MHA still show up as the same number as Lloyds ? I'm pretty sure I read they are just another Lloyds company / Dept.

Due to fact it is some weeks since this action was taken and MHA have made no written contact I have no address for them.

I was considering writing to them with the same letters I had sent Mastercard and see if I get any reply from these 'people'.

So what do I do ?

 

Thanks for any advice.

 

Pete.

Hi again odds,

 

I had something like that on my statements, a while later I received a letter from MHA Collections. They are basically Lloyds under a different name.

 

Did you CCA these empty heads at all? Ican`t remember if you did or not.

 

I have the address for MHA, I`ll pop it up later this evening if no one else does, I`m in a rush at the moment to go out.

 

Catch you later.

Hi marjie,

 

Welcome aboard the Lloyds bus to numptyvill.

 

Yeah, I agree, they never acknowledge any letters until the have to, IE legal ones. That`s why I never respond to their, except the legal ones of course.

 

Do you have a thread we can subscribe to?

You could start a thread and post all the letters / documents you have received so far. Then people can follow how your doing.

 

Have a look on the above like in my above post to see hassles with Lloyds Mastercard.

Hi N.P

Thanks for the link, by the way I think if you right click on the post number and choose 'copy shortcut' you can then paste that and it will take you to the exact post :) .

Anyway back to basics. I haven't CCA'd them yet, cos quite frankly since coming out of hospital I can't be arsed with it all. So now that they have involved yet another dept masquerading as a different company, who would I need to CCA, Lloyds or MHA ?

If my luck continues as it has gone in the last 12 months I just know they are going to come back with everything required. Probably in triplicate :)

Quick update :

I spoke too soon, in the post this morning a letter from MHA Collections. I must say I'm not very impressed. The reference number is clearly visible for anyone to see and the word COLLECTIONS easy to make out in the window of the envelope.

 

MHAEnvelopeedited.jpg

 

Basically the same as N.P's letter, pay up TODAY or we may do this that or the other. Please phone us on 0870 ........ I don't think so.

Just a quick question. More and more companies now send letters with just a barcode on the envelope, so how do you know when they are actually posted.

I usually go off the date on the actual letter. Chances are they get posted the same day, although the just about always use 2nd Class. Strange eh?

Hi GM

Does this sound any good as a response to MHA ?

 

MHA Collections

PO Box 1024

xx/xx/08

 

Your ref: xxxxxxxx

Account No: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

I received your letter dated xx/xx/08 on xx/xx/08 and note you state that Lloyds TSB Bank PLC claim that I have failed to respond to their requests for payment. With all due respect nothing could be further from the truth. I would refer back to my letters dated xx/xx/07, xx/xx/07/, xx/xx/07, and finally xx/xx/08, all of which have gone unanswered by Lloyds. As you are acting on Lloyds instructions, I would assume that they have furnished you with all the correspondence that I have sent to them. In which case I hereby request that you enquire as to why all of my written correspondence has been totally ignored by them.

Furthermore, I will only communicate in writing regarding any matters relating to this account, therefore I request that my telephone number is removed from your systems. Any attempt to contact me by telephone will go unanswered and every call will be logged, and I will not hesitate to report the matter to Ofcom, Trading Standards and the OFT.

 

I also request a copy of your official Complaints Procedure.

 

I look forward to your WRITTEN reply.

 

Mr X

 

Anything I should add ?
