    • god they've got at you haven't they. told you all the usual utter BS. a CCJ vanishes from your credit file on it's 6th B'Day regardless to being paid off or not or paying or not. same with any debt with a registered defaulted date - it vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th B'day regardless. creditfix are Knightsbridge, (they renamed) there are 100's of threads here on Knightsbridge, if i remember rightly 2 of the directors of a certain very big IVA provider were struck off for embezzling £1m's out of debtors. pers i'd stop paying now.  end of . just ignore them all. 99% of your debts are to utterly powerless DCA's and probably were never owed in the first place only goes to firm up my belief from post one..you got had blind. its very easy to deal with the debts even those with CCJ's. can you copy and paste what you credit file says regarding the IVA please?

    • 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  Feeling tempted to cancel it now but scared that some of the debts will do more CCJ's 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 - effectively if I'd have not took out the iva in 2021 I'd have clear score by now - but then again would I because I would have been hounded the last 3 years, 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 mis sold 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 accounts Lowell 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 credit file I'd be happy

    • 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.

there is a lot of ebay [causing problems] going about all you have to do is look in papers and listen on the news?

 

A neighbour was scammed out of £300.00 and paypal have refused to give the money back to her to date as the vendor have said they have sent the item and have proof it was recieved but they wont give the evidence to paypal so she is £300 out of pocket.

 

she is trying to get her money back but the guy wont give the info over and ebay and paypal are refusing to help her.

To be honest, I have never, not would I, use Ebay. It is a [problematic] paradise. I cannot believe the things that some people get up to there, and why it hasn't been closed down by now I don't know (well I do - some corp will get shirty with the government or civil liberties groups will get all het up)

This is anecdote only but I have an acquaintance who sued ebay (or maybe paypal) for a similar reason. They said they wouldn't give detials of the person who had ripped him off but they paid him once he put his claim in.

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've got to start a paypal claim, for a mobile phone that my dad bought my mum. It arrived put her sim card in it, it said sim card inactive, took it to be unlocked, guy unlocking said that it had been black listed. So took it to a local Vodafone store who called the Iemi number and brought up the fact that it had been blacklisted as stolen and their for would not be unlocked.

 

Rang paypal and told us to take it to the police, which we did 5 weeks ago sent all the emails between us and the seller asking us to send it back to him so he could issue a refund, though no chance of doing that he could flog it to someone else. Still no reply from payapl, but they said because it was bought outside of ebay, it would not be covered for the £500, buyer protection.

 

I am about to send all the emails and letters stating from Vodaphone that the phone is stolen yet again, if I havent heard in anthing in a week I think i will start proceddings against for alowing sellers to sell stolen goods and leting them get away with it. Ok we only paid £90, for it, but thats not the point the guy must have known when he sold it, that the thing would not unlock and their for be useless.

If what we say helps you, then please tip the scales.:cool:

I have dealt with ebay for some considerable time.. I have a feedback of well over 1000. This is scary stuff about the inability to leave neg on buyers. I have been bitten more than once, and I know that I am not alone in this.

I don't use it much now, and I am VERY wary of selling on it.

If you dont like it, I am afraid the only thing you can do is vote with your feet.

Like everything you have to look carefully at what you buy from who.

Bit like a bank holiday market, most will be ok, but a few bad ones cause a lot of trouble.

 

And as always, If it looks too good to be true, then....

I don't always believe what I say, I'm just playing Devils Advocate

I've used ebay since the day it started and have to admit I love it :D

The best advice I'd give a newbie is read other members feedback thoroughly and if it looks dodgy then it probably is.

I couldn't live without my ebay bargains but I'm one of the lucky ones I suppose.

I got bitten once by a [EDIT] but they got caught and put out of business - they were in the USA and kept selling stuff as "gently used" when it was cobbled together with clapped out old parts they 'begged' for from the same people who they wanted to sell too... morons!!! Got my money back too! - okay it was in US dollars but the exchange rate at the time of refund was well in my favour.

 

So far so good - I usually buy from recommendations and use a different email address and bank account so they can't get my real account, and only keep about £5 - £10 in the second account "just in case".

Ive not had a problem with Ebay, but I've learned ALWAYS pay with a credit card, and NEVER give paypal acces to your bank account.

 

Both Ebay and paypal are outside the UK and getting your money back after a failed dispute resolution is near impossible.

 

and why it hasn't been closed down by now I don't know (well I do - some corp will get shirty with the government or civil liberties groups will get all het up)

 

The OFT is having a purge on eBay fraud and ordered them to disclose which UK accounts are being used commercially. Traders pretend to be private sellers to exclude themselves from consumer protection legislation.
