    • 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.

Assuming that you sent the library prelim letter, you should now proceed to the letter before action stage. There's a template in the Library.

Just wondering if you can help me. I have sent my LBA today I have split my cliam which was £5,990 into two seperate amounts saying that from Nov 2001-2004 my charges were etc...and the second letter for the dates 2004 - 2006. this was to keep the amounts within the small claims court. should I have sent the letters on different dates? I am hoping the bank will treat them as 2 seperate claims although it is the one account. have I made a cock-up? would be really grateful for some advice on this matter:-|

Just file one court action at a time, once you have the first one resolved then do the second one. The LBA's dont really matter, its just important you've sent them.... it doesnt matter when the action takes place, it could be that you state 14 days but dont pursue it for 6 weeks - completely up to you.

I am about to send my LBA for my 2nd claim and will point out that they can settle now for the full amount outstanding, or I will pursue a further 2 claims incurring a further x amount in court costs and interest.

"Who gives you extra?..."

Bank of Scotland round 1: £740 + costs settled, still sore over the 8% grrr

Bank of Scotland round 2: £629 +101.15 interest +£39 costs settled.

did they settle your 1st claim following your first LBA? and did they respond within 14 days? What I don't understand is that different people are being responded to in different ways by the same bank.The same bank doesn't seem to be singing from the same hymn sheet. Glad you have had some of your cash back though, it's certainly a positive step. Good luck and thanks for taking the trouble to reply to my thread.

No I had to raise a claim in the sherriff court to get the refund. I had previosly had a telephone offer of 6 months worth of charges to which I said no. I've received nothing to sign to say it was full and final settlement, so heres to the next £750 !

Well on July 1st I confidently thrust 2 LBA's into the hand of my bank manager and smiled sweetly before demanding a reciept for them. I've been rushing home from work everyday hoping for my response. Today I got it. I thought I would get some sort of offer but oh no!

 

It's from Tommy McLean and it' says blah, blah, blah.....sorry we have failed to reach an agreement with you....( what Agreement???)...I regret blah blah that there is little I can add constructively to previous comments but having reviewed your account, I can find no instance where charges have been applied when they were not properly due. They have all be associated with a lack of covering funds in the account at the time these items were presented for payment. Accordingly, the charges that have been applied to your account should stand. Therefore this is the bank's final response to you on this matter!!!!! You may wish to seek the opinion of the Financial Ombudsman and the leaflet enclosed tells you more about the scheme and how to contact them.....blah, blah, blah!!!!

 

I am pretty certain that I have read the exact response on somebody's thread, so I'm guessing that this is again probably a standard letter.

 

I feel really deflated now, could somebody please give me some thoughts on this letter. Last week I was in fighting mode but now I'm no soooo sure. They owe me over £6,000 if you include interest ( i'm claiming in 2 amounts). Please make me smile again........Thanks all :sad:

I guess more and mor epeople are turning down small goodwill gestures so they perhaps feel it is not necessary in cases where a substantial amount in 4 figures is being claimed!

Hi All, wonder if somebody can give me some advice. I have sent a prelim to the RBOS and was fobbed off and then sent my LBA'S and once again fobbed off. I didn't send a schedule of charges, I have almost £6,000 of bounced d/d etc over overdraft charges, card missue charges. I did however make a general reference to what the charges I am claiming are for. I am due to issue my MCOL on Tuesday. What should I do and will me not sending this schedule of charges make a huge difference. I understand that I will have to have this should I proceed to court. should I forward this to my bank even though they have fobbed me off following my LBA's? Any advice please? :-(

It shouldn't make any real difference as things stand. You probably should send a schedule to the bank with a brief covering letter stating that this is how the claim is made up. You could also send a copy to MCOL and ask them to associate it with your clai,

 

The alternative (and better imho) approach is to use the manual N1 form and take it court with your charges schedule.

Thanks for your advice seminole. You think I will be better doing a manual claim as opposed to MCOL? that's no problem but could you briefly explain why? would be grateful just so I know EXACTLY what I'm doing

Yes, I can see where you are coming from with that. I don't really see that it makes much difference and as the County court is down the road I don't see MCOL being any quicker really. Thanks seminole.... great to have people on here who really do know what they are talking about ;)

can anybody help please. I completed my MCOL and it was issued on 20/07/06. I was feeling rather pleased. A copy of my claim came through from Northhampton court. I was feel rather pleased as I read it and then shock, horror, I realised that I had not put my account no. on my claim ( I have had a lot of personal problems recently and my mind was elsewhere) is this going to make a difference to my claim? can I forward the account no to the defendant, can they identify me from my address? I am really worried now and thinking that I have blown it. I would be grateful if anybody could offer me any advice with this problem. Many thanks
