    • If it is MCB    National Fraud Database Members | Preventing Fraud Losses | Cifas WWW.CIFAS.ORG.UK A range of organisations use the National Fraud Database to share data on confirmed fraud cases, preventing over £1 billion in fraud losses every year.   They are on the register  
    • 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

    • 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.

On 18 September I sent a cca request to Nat West. I know they cashed the one pound P Order because they took it off the outstanding balance.

I have had the same letter now twice, First dated 20 October 2008 and second dated 15 December 2008. Am typing it only once though.

 

Dear Overdone,

Balance £9,987.0x

 

I am disappointed to note that you have failed to comply with our agreement.

 

Unless I receive an immediate payment to your account and regular payments thereafter, as arranged, I will have no alternative but to place your account in the hands of external debt collecting agents without prior warning.

 

If a money advisor is assisting you, you should bring this letter to their attention.

 

If you have made the required payment within the last five days, please ignore this letter.

 

Yours sincerely,

D L Munn

 

and.....identical behavior here.

Account In Dispute

 

Ref:

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

Thank you for your letters of xx/xx/xx and xx/xx/xx, the contents of which have been noted.

 

You have failed to respond to my legal request to supply me a true copy of the original Consumer Credit Agreement for the above account.

 

On the **DATE** I wrote to you requesting a copy of the credit agreement and other information under the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (Sections 77-79).

 

On **DATE** a member of your staff signed for delivery of my written request and I have an electronic proof of delivery showing their signature and the date.

 

To date you have failed to comply with these requests in any way, whether by confirmation of receipt of the request or by supplying the requested documents.

 

These documents I requested should be readily available as proof of your legal right to collect this account under the Consumer Credit Act 1974.

 

In my letter of the **DATE** I made a formal request for a copy of the signed, executed credit agreement for the above account under section 77(1) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. In addition a full statement of this account should have been sent to me detailing all debits and credits to the account.

 

Furthermore, you are aware that the Consumer Credit Act allows 12 working days for a request for a true copy of a credit agreement to be carried out before your client enters into a default situation.

 

This limit has expired.

 

As you are no doubt aware section 77(6) states:

 

If the creditor fails to comply with Subsection (1)

 

(a) He is not entitled , while the default continues, to enforce the agreement.

 

And

 

(b) If the default continues for one month he commits an offence.

 

Therefore this account has become unenforceable at law.

 

You have failed to comply with a lawful request for a true, signed copy of the said agreement and other relevant documents mentioned in it, failed to send a full statement of the account and failed to provide any of the documentation requested.

 

Consequentially any legal action you pursue will be averred as both UNLAWFUL and VEXATIOUS.

 

Furthermore I shall counterclaim that any such action constitutes unlawful harassment.

 

Please note you may also consider this letter as a statutory notice under section 10 of the Data Protection Act to cease processing any data in relation to this account with immediate effect.

 

This means you must remove all information regarding this account from your own internal records and from my records with any credit reference agencies.

 

Should you refuse to comply, you must within 21 days provide me with a detailed breakdown of your reasoning behind continuing to process my data.

 

It is not sufficient to simply state that you have a ‘legal right’; You must outline your reasoning in this matter and state upon which legislation this reasoning depends.

 

Should you not respond within 14 days I expect that this means you agree to remove all such data.

 

Furthermore you should be aware that a creditor is not permitted to take ANY

Action against an account whilst it remains in dispute.

 

The lack of a credit agreement is a very clear dispute and as such the following applies.

 

* You may not demand any payment on the account, nor am I obliged to offer any payment to you.

* You may not add further interest or any charges to the account.

* You may not pass the account to a third party.

* You may not register any information in respect of the account with any credit reference agency.

* You may not issue a default notice related to the account.

 

I reserve the right to report your actions to any such regulatory authorities as I see fit.

You have 14 days from receiving this letter to contact me with your intentions to resolve this matter which is now a formal complaint.

 

I would appreciate your due diligence in this matter.

 

I look forward to hearing from you in writing.

 

Yours faithfully

BLAH

Dear Overdone,

 

Re Acc xxxxxNat west

Bal £9xxx.xx

 

Regarding your recent letter concerning the Banks allege breach of the CCA act, I would advise you of the following.

 

Any request for a copy of an executed agreement under s78(1) states that the company must meet it's statuary requirements by providing a true copy of the agreement relevant to the card product at the date the card agreement was made and providing that plus a copy of the current terms of the card product. These copies should be accompanied by the statement of financial information relating to the account.

 

The provision of the true copy in this form is made in reliance of regulations 3(2) and 7(1) (b) of the consumer credit (Cancellation notices and copies of documents) regulations 1983. Particularly3(2) which permits the copy agreement not to show signatures or personal details that may have appeared on the application part of a document. There is no statutory requirement under the act for us to ever give a copy to a customer with a signature on it.

 

As we have supplied a copy of the original and current terms and conditions of that card product, with the prescribed terms or agreement which was sent with your card, upon signing the card you signed up to the agreement as set out. Also, sent were a most recent statement showing the outstanding balance and advised you who to contact to discuss amounts due and owing, and future payments that must be paid. We have therefor met our obligations under s78(1) to provide a copy of that executed agreement and again we are satisfied that what was provided complied with the regulations expressly made for controlling what is a "true copy".

 

I suggest that you take advice from your local CAB or other similar organisation if you continue to doubt the veracity of what we have told you about our having complied with our obligations under s78(1).

 

I must therefore inform you that we see no reason to enter into further correspondence with you about the alleged cca breaches you lay at our door. If you are not satisfied with this response, you may seek whatever legal redress you consider is open to you.

 

We do not consider this account to be in dispute or void and your indebtedness on this account remains due and payable and we will be pursuing for the full repayment. The default on your credit will remain for 6 years from date of registration.

 

I trust this clarifies matters for you.

 

Yours sincerely

What I don't understand is whether they are saying a copy sent out ten years ago does the job along with a recent statement, or if they are saying, we have sent you recently,what we think is a CCA. I have not received it.

The bottom line is that they cant find your orginal paperwork (just like mine) but happy to take you on in court (just like me).

I am concerned that they would think the judge will side with them because at the end of the day you borrowed that money.

If there is a true agreement or not !

Now if you follow my thread i will let you know what will happen on the 9th March because my case will be the one which decides if the Natwest can force the issue of what i do owe them (with or without a true copy)

They seem to be making a habit of finding nobodys paperwork at the moment.

So hang in there and see what happens because i am like you i wont let them get away with throwing unfair charges and made up interest rates and a bogus true copy !

As what scabhunter as already quoted on here "it is down to the judge"

Sorry for sounding off but there seems to be a pattern of the Natwest lazy attempts to sue people without the correct paperwork.

what about this as a letter?

 

Dear Sirs,

 

I am concerned about your recent letter of 07 January 2009.

 

You state that you have supplied a copy of the original and current terms and conditions of a card product, with the prescribed terms or agreement allegedly sent with a card acount.

 

I am afraid to say that I have not received the above since my CCA request of 18 September 2008 and they may have been lost in the post. Would you therefore be kind enough to resend them?

 

Yours sincerely

Overdone.

The letter in post 12 got sent today R D because I have not even had something to pass itself off as a cca, which is normal practice when they are stuffed. It may be they sent something but I aint had anything so I hope they resend something. Then I can post it on here for people to pull to pieces.

Well, no original properly executed and signed credit agreement there. I think you should consider PT's CPR 31.16 route now myself Overdone.

:!: -Any advise I give is based purely on my own experience. It should not be solely relied upon as I am NOT a legal expert and any major decisions you make should not be based on my opinion alone -

HFC Bank - Davey vs HFC

Barclays - Monthly payments made

Cahoot - Agreement received, awaiting 2nd agreement after DCA.

MBNA1&2 - Agreements received. (Currently in limbo)

Halifax - Davey vs Halifax/Cabot

MINT - Davey vs Mint

Amex - Davey vs Amex

Cap1 **WON** £1,500 Written Off Davey vs Cap1

I'm in a similar position to you with Natwest, Triton got onto me 3 years ago, then Natwest got back onto me, so CCA'd them, to which i got the same letters as you, then Triton got back onto me, told them account was in dispute, so they passed it back to Natwest, then Wescot got involved, told them account in dispute, they have now asked me to send a pound to RBS for CCA request.

 

God knows whats going on, but i haven't payed them a penny in 3 years.

 

I'll see what happens.

 

Good luck!
