    • The only way to verify whether there is any financial reward for the management is seeing the agreement. That would be required during disclosure IF court proceedings went ahead... Unless you could bring pressure to bear and get a copy?
    • 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.

I don’t know where to post this, mods / admin feel free to relocate.

 

Please bear with me, if this looks to long to read, there is a possibility my car may be written off following an accident, I don’t have the funds to purchase a 2nd hand car, yet I need a car as I work shifts, and have to travel 20 miles away from home, due to my shift pattern, public transport is not an option and my employer is not the “Caring kind”

 

I’m on a DMP with CCCS, my credit rating is zilch, so I’ve no idea what to do.

 

Without my car, I have no job, no job means no mortgage payments, no mortgage payments means no home, god, I’m so, so, stressed out with worry I could cry, I’ve suffered from nervous breakdown previously, I’m frightened to death of entering that road again.

 

After the initial few months agro with creditors, my DMP has now settled down and my creditors have left me alone, that last thing I need is my DMP to fail

 

At present I have a curtsey car whilst my car is awaiting a report on it.

 

In the event of me losing my car, I doubt there is much I can do, I’ll have to accept the consequences, but there are many knowledgeable members on here, I’m praying someone has a suggestion or can point me in the right direction towards a positive outcome.

 

Thank you for taking the time to read my post

Hi, yes this is the wrong place, but I have asked that this be moved to the insurance forum where knowledgable people will be able to help you.

Hi Lulu

 

It’s not so much an insurance issue I have, my problem is trying to get a car, given my credit rating and DMP status, that’s what I’m hoping someone can suggest / direct me.

 

Sorry I never made it clear in my mixed up post, I'm not thinking clearly.

Has liability been determined if there is another party?

Can your employer provide a sub (if suitable)?

Is there anyone who could give you a lift?

Cycle?

And when you say public transport is not an option do you mean you dont want to consider it or that its impossible to get to and from work by such?

 

If your car is repairable then you will get it back an should be able to keep the courtesy car until then. If it is a total loss then the insurer will provide money to replace it or sometimes (depending on insurer / age of car and value) replace the car themselves.

Thread moved to insurance forum. I think this is the most appropriate forum.

 

Sorry if this I am missing something here but if the car is written of then surely you can replace it with the payout from the insurance company?

Freaky, you're correct, I should get a payout from the insurance, you know what, my mind is all over the place, that hadn't even entered my head.

 

Sorry for any confusion.

No, I checked with the highways agency, and they are unable to trace where the debris came from.

Can your employer provide a sub (if suitable)?.

No, there not that kind of company, i.e, they don't give a ****e about there employees.

Is there anyone who could give you a lift?

Cycle?.

No, due to the times of my shift pattern.

And when you say public transport is not an option do you mean you dont want to consider it or that its impossible to get to and from work by such?.

It's impossible to get to work via public transport, the bus service only operates during office hours.

If your car is repairable then you will get it back an should be able to keep the courtesy car until then. If it is a total loss then the insurer will provide money to replace it or sometimes (depending on insurer / age of car and value) replace the car themselves.

My car is 7 years old so not worth much, this is where I'm getting stressed, I don't I'd be able to buy anything decent for around £1000, and due to my credit status / DMP status, I'm sure I'd have difficulty trying to get a car.

 

Thanks for your reply.

You would be amazed at what you can buy for £1000 at the moment.:)

 

You will definitely get something to get you to work and back.

 

Stole my thunder FL.

 

The car market is as dead as the housing market.Dealers are struggling & many families are having to offload second cars.

 

It's just the timescale where you may have problems and actually getting around to look for one.

 

Can you crash out at a work mates place for a while if necessary?

Do you know, I hadn't looked at it like that, that's made me feel slightly better, thanks.

Yes it is, if they write my car off, they will take away the free curtsey car, it's that time scale that's bothering me, thanks to you both for your words of support.

If it is written off purely for economical reasons (i.e - it would be OK to repair (safe) but would cost a lot) you could ask for a cash in lieu and maybe take it to a cheaper (but trustworthy) repairer who would.... provide a courtesy car whilst they repair yours! Ask your insurer.
