    • 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.

HI fretful,

 

I think if you check back I made you and several others aware of this some time ago (12 months maybe) and for you to formulate your Defence around these issues.

 

On a different subject.

 

Can anyone tell me if they have a FIRST charge secured regulated loan agreement with Swift Advances Plc under £25,000.

 

sparkie

 

 

Thanks sparkie, do you have a link where I could get more information regarding this please?

Want some detective work done if folks can help.

 

Check out The Kestrel Group Ltd...........Reg No 00527263 it would seem that in 1994 they took over the company by the name of guess who.................Kestrel ( Holdings) Ltd.

This Kestrel Group Ltd are active, trading, and make paper products and plastic wrapping products.

 

Now if they took over Kestrel (Holdings) Ltd in 1994.

If you check Kestrel (Holdings) Ltd with companies house you come up with Kestrel Holdings Ltd . They are the owners / ultimate parent company of Swift Advances Plc and all the other companies listed.

 

The Kestrel Holdings that Kestrel Holdings (The SWift Lot) say they own is doing it criminally..... as a company name that has been used before cannot be used again OR so I'm LED to believe.

 

Want help checking all this it's a biggie if I'm right. give me a bell busterg lost your number when I lost aol connection.......I'm temporary on O2

Re my post 2583.

 

Rang Companies House ............they said a company's name that is no longer in use can be used by someone else provided strict criteria has been met .......looks like it is OK .but I am still checking that it has all been done correctly, ...........The name Swift Advances Holdings Ltd was only use for 10 days or so before they changed it to Kestrel Holdings Ltd, they had to do that because Swift Advances was just a trading Style.

Just combing through my Swift Advances plc file and note that my broker sent me a copy of the agreement 1 day before the final copy for signature - the agreement states that you should have a copy "7 days ago". Also just confirming an interest hike 6/7 weeks after loan commenced. SJ

Well if they are they should look at their licenses as Swift Group and Swift Advances are not names they can use. In fact Swift Advances on its own is licensed to a company called Swift Financial UK Ltd and "sweet 'Jane ' all" (sorry :D) to do with Swift Advances Plc. Lets hope the OFT spot that one, MI6 have! :p

The thing is the Swift Financial UK Ltd Licence lapsed in 2009......But that company was not registered with conpanies house or so I am led to believe..............it also looks like the OFT are behind this latest "get out of Jail" crap with the new stuff on their web site...........also anyone noticed that at the bottom they have left out "Swift Advances is a trading style of Swift Advances Plc???????"

 

PS Everyone should still keep demanding the underwriting sheet......that's where the damming evidence of the secret commission is, ....and everyone should make the OFT aware of this fact and that Swift refuse continually to supply it

Am posting this everywhere

 

Taken from Decembers Ruling by High Court ( Judge Waksman)

 

Secret Commissions

 

Ordinarily, the introducer or broker will be treated as an agent of the borrower. As such they owe a fiduciary duty to their client including the duty not to make a secret profit.

 

 

Provided that it is disclosed to the client, there is nothing wrong in principle in an intermediary charging a broker’s fee. However, the commission must be disclosed and a general statement that “a commission may be paid in certain circumstances” is not adequate.

 

 

The receipt of a secret commission by a broker is a species of fraud and is actionable both against the broker or introducer and the lender who paid the secret commission.

 

 

In the Court of Appeal case of Hurstanger v Wilson [2007] EWCA Civ 299, Lord Justice Tuckey commented as follows:

 

  1. Obviously if there has been no disclosure the agent will have received a secret commission. This is a blatant breach of fiduciary duty but additionally the payment or receipt of a secret commission is considered to be a form of bribe and is treated in the authorities as a special category of fraud in which it is unnecessary to prove motive, inducement or loss up to the amount of the bribe. The principal has alternative remedies against both the briber and the agent for the money had and received where he can recover the amount of the bribe or for the damages for fraud where he can recover the amount of any actual loss sustained by entering into the transaction in respect of which the bribe was given (Mahesan v Malaya’s Housing Society [1979] AC 374, 383). Furthermore the transaction is voidable at the election of the principal who can rescind it . . . (Panama & South Pacific Telegraph Co v India Rubber, Gutta Percher and Telegraph Co [1875] 9 Ch App 515, 527, 532-3).”

Mr Mark White stated quite clearly and categorially under oath in my court case that Swift DO NOT pay commission as such. What can be more secret than that, when I can prove they do pay commission and BIG commission payments.

 

This means that anyone who's broker has gone bust can sue Swift direct

It looks as f they are trying to show that they are not who they say they are and are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of OFT.....and I wonder if the OFT will in fact "chicken out" from taking the action they should ....take their license off them.

 

It looks as if the OFT may be convinced that Swift will tell them they will behave...what about all the people who have lost their homes by the criminal activities of Swift Advances Plc and Swift 1st Ltd....I just wonder that's all

I would recommend you ask CAB to do their own FINANCIAL STATEMENT with you to confirm your hardship. This can be shown to any creditor and is an industry accepted form which all companies should accept. It saves endless hours filling in many forms for different companies. They will also help you prioritise your debts. Good luck SJ

Have sent Mr Blocksidge a litle e-mail with the link about the SWIFT GROUP

 

Dear Mr Blocksidge,

 

I would ask you to view this internet link ......Powered by Google Docs it is an advert put out by "THE SWIFT GROUP" and a mortgage company First Mortgage Options. Brokers/AGENTS of Swift....... as you are aware there is no such entity in this country as The Swift Group..I have already made the real "Swift Group" in America aware that Swift Advances Plc are using their good name in the involvement in more than Irregular financial activities in this country.

 

I trust that the OFT will bear this in mind also, that it states quite clearly that the Swift Group is a trading name of Swift Advances plc, which again as pointed out before, is not a name on Swift Advances Plc CCA license issued by your office

The City watchdog announced plans to launch a new committee to spot problems in the financial services sector before they affect large numbers of consumers.

 

The Financial Services Authority is proposing joining forces with the Office of Fair Trading and the Financial Ombudsman Service to form a new consumer protection committee.

 

The committee would look out for sales practices or product designs which have the potential to turn into mis-selling scandals or create widespread consumer detriment.

 

The move would update the current "wider implications process" under which the three groups come together to tackle financial issues that fall into all of their areas and are affecting a large number of consumers.

But the process is often only triggered once a significant number of people have already been affected.

 

The wider implications process has recently been used to look at issues including unauthorised overdraft charges, the sale of payment protection insurance and the plight of policyholders in closed with-profits funds.

 

Sheila Nicoll, FSA director of conduct policy, said: "The co-ordination committee is a clear indication of the intention and will of the authorities to work even more closely together to improve the experience of consumers, and to avoid problems happening in the first place."

 

Ray Watson, OFT director of consumer credit, said: "Identifying and dealing with problems at an early stage is important for ensuring consumers do not suffer unnecessary harm from financial products.

 

"We believe that the proposals for a new co-ordination committee and the focus on risk will improve our ability to deal with problems before they become widespread."

Everyone shuld continue their pressure on the OFT and the FSA.........

I am just sending this e-mail off to Mr David Blocksidge

 

Dear Mr Blocksidge

 

Could you or your office please confirm once and for all that it is a legal requirement for the following trading styles and names that are being used by Swift Advances Plc are names and styles to be shown on their license issued by the OFT to conduct Consumer Credit Business..

1.…“Swift Advances”

2.…“The Swift Group”

3.…“Eastern Counselling Services”

4.…“Swift Group Legal Services”

5.… “Swift”

And can you confirm that Swift First Limited can be known as the same company as Swift 1st Limited as far as licensing reference is concerned.

 

I also ask you to refer to the last e-mail I sent to you regarding the internet advertisement put out by Swift Advances Plc/ Swift Group????, and ask you to look closely at the bottom information notes....and make a note of what it says ;

SWIFT GROUP, ARCADIA HOUSE, WARLEY HILL BUSINESS PARK, BRENTWOOD, ESSEX CM13 3BE TELEPHONE: 0845 0748800 FAX: 0845 0729009

 

This is not a consumer advertisement and is not to be shown to existing or potential customers.

 

 

Yours sincerely

I hope everyone realises the full consequences and implications of the answer back from the OFT.

 

If the answer is yes , that is correct.....anyone and everyone that has had correspondence with the names of any of these trading names and styles can claim that they were issued whilst a criminal offence was being committed and the law says no -one should gain from a criminal act being committed.........lets just wait and see.......If say.... you have a letter with the heading Swift Advances and they have demanded money from you then Swift Advances Plc have committe a criminal offence using a trading name/style that has not got a license to carry out CCA related business.......if you have a letter headed the Swift Group demanding money then that also is another criminal offence that has been committed by Swift Advances Plc using a trading name that is not licensed again for the same reason.

 

The biggest one is at the bottom of some CCA agreements is the trading style of "Swift Advances"............at the bottom of mineis the logo and trading style name of "Swift".

 

This will mean that they have been arranged by these two trading style names which are not licensed to carry out CCA business activities.

 

Comments ....thoughts ...notes etc etc welcomed even disagreements
