    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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've just come across this, don't know if it's already been covered in as much detail, if it has I apologise for posting again.

 

You cannot be evicted from your property without a court order.

The sequence of events from the first missed payment through to eviction is

detailed below. Remember – seek assistance at the earliest possible stage.

1) Standard arrears letter

Sent after the first or second missed payment inviting the borrower to bring

the account up to date or to call and discuss the problem.

2) Strongly worded arrears letter

Sent usually after two months advising the above or the case will be passed

to the lender’s solicitor.

3) Notification of a County Court Possession Hearing date (also known as a

Possession Summons)

If you have not reached an agreement with your lender, they will apply to the

county court asking them to decide what should happen with your property.

This does not mean that you will automatically lose your home. There will be

a reply form with the court papers for you to supply details to be considered

by the court. You will need to detail

a) Reasons for the arrears.

b) Details about your family.

c) A detailed household budget, showing your regular income and

expenditure.

d) Your offer to clear the arrears, including any notes made regarding

telephone calls and/or written correspondence. This must be specific and

practical.

4) The possession hearing

The purpose of a possession hearing is to decide on an arrangement which

is fair to both sides – not to find anyone guilty or innocent. You cannot be

evicted from your home on the day of the hearing.

The hearing will take place before a district judge at the County Court. The

judge will consider reasons for the arrears and want to know if the borrower

can afford to pay off the arrears within a “reasonable period”. You should

attend the court hearing to verify your circumstances: you may choose to

take a representative (e.g. someone from the CAB). The judge will issue either:

a) a suspended possession order - you keep the property if you maintain a

payment level agreed by the judge. If you keep to the payments, the

mortgage lender can take no further action.

b) an outright possession order - you will lose possession of the property.

5) Eviction (following an outright possession order only)

If an outright possession order is given, an eviction warrant will be passed to

the bailiffs. The bailiffs will inform you in advance of a time and date of

eviction to execute the warrant. On this date, bailiffs will arrive to remove you

from the property (if you have not already left) and to change the locks. The

space of time in between the court hearing and the eviction is usually a

minimum of 28 days.

If you are evicted, your home will be sold to pay back the mortgage. If the

sale does not meet the amount outstanding on your debt, you will still owe

the balance to your lender. It will leave you in negative equity.

It is important that you leave your home in a good condition - this will make

it easier to sell at a fair price.

Do not avoid seeking help because you think it is too late, even at the later

stages listed above.

I think bankruptcy should be seriously considered. The house would still go, but you'd have no more debt and could start again with a clean slate.

One of the people had been on so many holidays - like once a fortnight - the official receiver was a bit confused:o. But she had lived her entire life in poverty, brought up four kids on her own and at the age of 65 she had been given ridiculous credit limits on a few cards. So she lived it up:D. Still waiting for the OR's verdict on that one, but classic case of irresponsible lending there.

 

I am sure you would have every justification for doing it - if it is what is best.

The son of a friend of Mrs Stone had a similar situation a couple of years ago when his business got into problems, his home was repossesed and and he took the big B. Now he is back on his feet with a smaller business and also has a mortgage. he says it was the best thing to do at the time. Take your time and give it serious thought Tills.

Any movement from ME Tills? What's happening with Bailiffs, or any chance of having the Order set aside, given you did not attend the original hearing, and hubby hid it from you? Regarding bankruptcy, you are not in the position yet, and if you do get there, you should have everything taken into consideration, warts 'n all, in 12 months nobody can knock on your door.

 

We all know the predicted house price fall, and with that will come rent falls. All of the banks with the biggest problems at the moment are those that have portfolios which include buy to let mortgages This is because as house prices fall, so will rental rates.

 

By getting out now, you may look back in 6 months and think "thank God I got out". Then in 12 - 18 months pick up a bargain.

 

Move North. The beer flows faster, and the men have bigger tattoos.
