    • 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.

This should help you to prepare lizz - what you need in a basic court bundle ......

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/48-bank-templates/119-basic-court-bundle

 

Try to collate and reference your documents in the order they will appear in your arguments , so the court can follow it like a story ......... it'll impress them , make it easy for them , and could help your case .....:)

 

There's also the possibility , as it hints in the link , that they'll pull out if they see you're organsied and ready for them ........

Thanks Lizz

Hi lizz , :)

 

I think most bundles follow a basic pattern - a bit like a story - you have an introduction where you outline your case , a middle bit where you elaborate on that , with references to your documents that you will rely on for your defence , and an end bit where you say, (based on what has gone before) what you would like the outcome to be ......

 

And that is (basically) the order your bundle should take .....

 

If you imagine a judge reading that , without you or HSBC present, (which he/she usually does), he/she should be able to follow your story and understand the sequence of events ....... :)

 

If anyone has any further advice/tips for lizz , please feel free to come in with it ..............

Hi lizz ,

 

Someone posted a programme a long time ago of how to act in court , but I can't find it at the moment .

 

Basicallly, from what I can remember of it , coupled with my own experiences :

 

1. The setting will be comparatively informal - you won't be in a big courtroom with a judge in wig and gown ... it'll likely be a discreet side room , with the judge in a suit and tie ........ and you'll be seated round a table ........

 

2. You don't have to talk to the bank's people at all but a 'Good Morning ' won't go amiss. Apart from this they may try to unsettle you - just smile as if you know something they don't .. and say nothing .........

 

3. If you get a chance beforehand , ask one of the ushers how your particular judge likes to be addressed i.e. Your Honour or just Sir /Madam .

 

4. The judge will hopefully have read your case and your points in the bundle . Now ,the bank's representative is probably going to exaggerate and gild the lily outrageously in their submission and try to push the judge in their favour . However much this winds you up, don't interrupt them, and don't let it get to you - this is what they're about ....... let them finish.

 

4. When it comes to your turn , have a typewritten list of your main points to hand - ask the judge if he/she needs clarification of any of the points you have made ..... look 'em straight in the eye, speak slowly and clearly (although you may be quaking inside ,don't show it LOL! ) - they are not ogres , just ordinary people like you and me and you're explaining why you think an injustice has been done to you .

 

If the bank tries to interrupt point out politely that you let them speak , now it's your turn..........

 

5. If there is any objection or point you want to make about any misconception the judge may have - prefix your point with " With all due respect , Sir /Madam /your Honour , " and go on to put your point across .

 

6. Above all remember - this is a people's court, there are hundreds of people like you attending these every day, so try not to be overawed by it - it's par for the course for most judges , and most realise you are a 'Litigant in Person' with no legal training and make allowances for that .

 

So - to sum up - look 'em straight the eye - get your points across calmly and clearly - don't let the other side wind you up ........ and you'll be OK ..........

 

If anyone else has anything to add to help Lizz - please feel free to chip in :)

Good luck Liz, just say what you want to say and let the other side say what they want to say (if anyone shows up), don't worry about court etiquette, the Judge knows your a litigant in person and as such don't know the in's and out's, he will ask you to speak when the time is right.

 

If you want to comment on something the other party has said don't butt in, just catch the Judges eye and he will ask you to comment again :).

 

Above all try not to be nervous, listen to what is being said and try to think what it means :).

 

the very best of luck :)

Hi Pete/Jonny thanks to your EXCELLENT help I won!!!!!!!!1 I am over the moon, the judge saw clear grounds for my defence in the fact that I had asked HSBC in Jan before it was referred to D&G for the data access request and as they didn't reply within the 40 days I lodged a complaint with the OFT. She said as I had no opportunity to confirm the full amount owed I could not agree to paying it all.

She set my case aside and I now have 14days to submit a full defence!

Brilliant thank you all again, only down side is the judge granted d&g to have £103 charges added to the case for her "time"

d&g claimed they had not rec'd one bit of information from me not even the court bundle which cost me £11 to send!

They actually looked very ill prepared and the judge commended me on putting together all the info I had, so thank you again guys :)

Now for my new defence do I add the same bundle or do I put more too it? and can I now negotiate with HSBC to get them to accept payments through Payplan?

Thanks again

LOVE THIS GROUP!:D:D:D

Woohoo :D well done!!! :D now you have seen the internal workings of justice in this country

 

d&g claimed they had not rec'd one bit of information from me not even the court bundle which cost me £11 to send!

 

They actually looked very ill prepared

 

This is normal for DG, unless your case is in the Birmingham County Court you wont actualy see anyone from DG, they hire a local barrester/solicitor and probably forgot to forward your submissions to him :rolleyes:.

 

Now you have the CCJ out of the way you go back to your claims against the bank for return of the charges deducted from your account, check the updated templates against what you originaly submitted.

 

Just read back and I'm not sure if this claim is for your credit card or current account or both.

Hi Pete i have my deffence ready to go off, my main deffence is that they have breached the 40 day data acess request so i cannot agree to pay them until i establish what charges have been applied to my account and if i am entitled to get any back.

 

it is my credit card taking me to court, but it is my current account that i have stayed at court for bank charges, i have prepared that as deffence but please let me know if i should leave it out?

 

i have copies of all the correspondance i have sent HSBC.

 

Can i call D&G to dicuss making payments and avoiding court at this point or is it too late?

 

what will happen with my deffence with the judge set another case date?

 

Many thanks again

I think I'm right in saying that the court should give you a fresh hearing date , lizz........ but if you don't hear in a few days check with the court office (quoting your case details) to see if they can advise what's happening ..... you don't want to miss any deadlines or they'll go for a judgement by default ---- they're dead sneaky that way :rolleyes::)........
