    • he may be using a different name but cars and vans/vans and cars it’s all the same Gerard Bird/Gerry Bird/G Bird aka Gurdip Singh Virdi He is still doing the same thing, operating from the same premises at 101a Longford, I’m guessing during Covid they got the great idea to rip people off remotely and charge people for the pleasure. they now deliver cars that are shocking quality and refuse to even accept the issues you find. Then Gaslight you into thinking your the problem and call you an idiot for buying a used car instead of a new one. Buyers beware this thread is vitally important

    • 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?

    • 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 Guys

 

Applied for my CCA in October to which Experto only today responded with what they say is what MBNA have on file as my agreement. Not sure what to make of this, as this isnt the agreement I would have signed and returned to them when I made my application for Credit Card. Basically what they have sent back is 5 pages of what they say is my agreement. It is titled "Credit Card Agreement Regulated By The Consumer Credit Act 1974", what sticks out like a sore thumb is the lack of signature on this "agreement". On page 4 is has a section with a ticked box in it, is this supposed to be my signature? I guess without a signed document, this agreement is inadmissable as anyone could have put this document together.

 

What do you guys/girls suggest I do as my next form of action?

 

cheers

Hi Ali

 

You may have better luck if you start your own thread and post up a copy of the contract.

 

I think it would be difficult to obtain an opinion without sight of the CCA.

 

Good luck

Ali, as advised, if you start your own thread and pop a link here for us to find then you can be advised for your own situation. Is this an online application ? As that would only require ticking. Before a certain date though a paper copy also had to be signed.

Hi

 

Its been very quite however I did recieve another reduced settlement offer today, not sure where they get the figures from but they are not anywhere near as generous as MBNA's offers!

Hi All

 

I hope all is well.

 

Not much to report although I received a letter from Debt Help Services(another trading style of 1st Credit) asking me to contact them regarding repayment.

 

Is it worth sending an account in dispute letter again to these guys or is it best to ignore them? I just want to make sure that should they ever choose to litigate I have covered the bases.

 

Many thanks

 

B

 

 

 

Should I send them

Excellent thanks CB! I wonder what they will do, the contract is flakey the default is dodgy. If they had accepted my original repayment offer they would have had over £1000 off of me by now.

Hopefully and if they have any sense then they will return the account to the original creditor. :rolleyes:

 

Sadly, they hope to bully and pressure people into repaying. I find it hard to believe that creditors were no prepared to accept short to mid term compromises in the early stages. They would have saved themselves £thousands in administration and legal costs and people would have felt honour bound to repay someone who had shown some consideration for a situtation that many of us didnt ever think we would find ourselves in.

 

But they didnt and because of this dodgy dealings by the creditors in the early stages of the contracts have now come to light. They only have themselves to blame.

Wise words CB, that is exactly the situation with me and I am sure many others. The fact they were not compassionate or helpful when discussing my case led me to this website to find out my rights which in turn led me to dispute the debt.

 

The fact is they have also added almost £2k in additional charges to the original balance thus making a bad situation worse. Personally due to the way MBNA and subsequent DCA's have spoken to me and handled the situation has made me more determined to defend my corner.

 

The help of you and others with this has been greatly appreciated.

 

All the best

 

B

I requested all information from Experto Credite back in July 2010, only today have they responded with a letter, stating that I need to go back to MBNA to get this information. However Experto want me to propose to them repaying the outstanding balance.

 

Is there any recourse in the fact that Experto admit they have limited information but are not providing it as requested as well as the time it has taken them to respond?

 

Also can I not refer the debt back to MBNA as a result of the response from Experto, given that MBNA hold all the information?

Hi alimehmet

 

Have you sent a SARS to MBNA? Have they provided an enforcable contract?

You need to resist folding under pressure from experto as the common consensus is that if they have your account its probably defective in some way shape or form.

My mbna accounts went to them after mbna racked up a further 9 months of charges but it did go with a defective default notice as well which was helpful.

I've only had limited contact from experto after i told them the cca was improperly executed,the default notice was defective and if they wanted to take me to court they should consider bankruptcy as an option as i'm not worth anything as it is,not being a homeowner etc.

Its been a long time since my last post. I stopped all payments in 2012 but have today received a letter threatening a stat demand!

 

Should I respond?

Responding to S>O>S.

 

 

They will need to personally serve a Statutory Demand.

 

 

What is the value of the outstanding debt, bozalt - there was a change to the amount at which a Stat demand could be issued from £750.00 to £5,000 last year.

 

 

I will ask one of the site team to look in on you to advise if you should make any response to this.

 

 

IMHO, I wouldn't rush to do anything just yet.

Yes, October 2015 the minimum limit was increased to £5,000

 

 

If I recall, weren't there quite a lot of charges on this ?

Thank you for your reply Citizenb.

 

There were around £2k in charges and the total balance is claimed to be around £7.5k.

 

 

The last payment was made in 2011 although I notice 2 x £1 credits have been applied subsequently whenever I have requested CCA from the othr DCA's they farmed it out to.
