    • 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.

ime afraid you have to keep paying for the time being

 

wait for another agreement to appear and cross match

if confirmed, you can put the account into dispute and stop payments.

 

dont do that though until you have the evidence

hi,

 

well had a call from welcome today. The man from compliance said he was horrified at the amount of calls we were getting and they would now stop... Very apologetic.

 

He told us a statement is due to be sent to us next month. We explained that next month would mean we have not recieved a statement for 15 months. He just apologised again.

 

Relating to the ppi. He said the payments cant go down even though the fos deemed it to be missold. As it was not cancelled within first 30 days payments have to stay the same.

 

I have asked for everything in writing.

 

Firstly i know they cant add charges as i have not recieved statement. Does anyone know if this is from when it should have arrived in january or is for the whole of the period the statement will cover.

 

secondly does anyone know if this is correct that the payments have to stay the same as the ppi wasnt cancelled as such it was proved to be missold and completely refunded.

 

thanks

typcal runaround

 

you gota new suit yet mr p

 

karen, let me get this straight

the fos agree the ppi has been missold and has to be refunded.

 

if that is the case the 30 days to cancel the policy does not come into it,

 

they should cancel the policy and modify the agreement to adjust the total, not ito forget interest you have paid.

 

may i ask,

 

the refund of this insurance, will it wipe out the rest of the loan or is there still quite a bit to pay

Karen FOS and FSA guidelines say that when PPI is removed loan should be restructured so payments decrease - As Welcome front load the loan so heavily this is why they want to take it off the back - you will be effectively still paying interest on PPI policies you do not have anymore.

 

Tell them they either restructure or YOU will take them to court to force them to do so and they will be liable for your costs as well.

 

A big no no this that they keep thinking they can get away with!

Hi, thanks for all info.. obviously you all know the mr p better than me then. No doubt i will be getting to know him a bit better soon .

 

The ppi was completely refunded last year after i contacted the fos. They said it was missold. Also they stated that they had to read the agreement 3 times before they could find where it stated it was optional. So yes it was all refunded last year but my monthly payments never changed.

 

We are struggling to try to keep up with the payments which are £372 per month. We are currently about £2500.00 in arrears so they say but i have still not recieved a statement for 15 months so cant be sure about that.

 

The oustanding balance should be about £5600.00. But to be honest the amount of calls we have had its probably more than that now.

 

This is what made me dig out the original agreement which showed differences between what they sent me when i sar them last year.

 

thanks everyone

Just a quick update. I have had an email from the ico. I contacted them regarding lack of statements originally.

 

They have basically said send them a sar and £10 and hopefully they will provide statements. If they dont provide them contact ico again.

 

This does not seem fair at all that i have to pay for something that i should have originally got at least annually anyway.

When you SAR them ask for everything they have on you, transcript of phone calls etc, it's all on the template, just delete what you dont want.

Don't just ask for the statement, you should get another copy of the agreement as well. Sorta makes it worth the tenner when you get reams of printouts, they should give you everything going back 6 years, if it goes back that far.

hi just to update. The fos sent a letter to welcome telling them to issue me with a response. I had the response within 7 days. Funny really they dont reply to my letters.

 

In my letter to the fos i basically stated about the lack of statements. Its now about 18 months since i have had a statement. The constant calls. The fact that the payments were never reduced even when the ppi was deemed missold by the fos. and about the threats they keep making on the phone to us. And lastly about the differences in credit agreements (original and copy).

 

well in welcomes letter they basically apologised if i felt service i recieved wasnt very good. They said the only way to get payments down it to sign a new agreement with them. If i sign they will scrap all charges been added this year. They said statements enclosed which they was not so i still dont have statements. And they did not mention differences in credit agreement.

 

Firstly i dont know if i should have to sign a new credit agreement. That doesnt seem right to me.

Secondly still no statements so i dont actually know what they have been charging.

Although i have to admit calls have really slowed down since fos contacted them so thats good.

 

The offer to sign the new contract is only valid till the 26th june (seem a bit desperate to get me to sign a new contract).

 

I dont know now if i have to send a copy of this letter to the fos as they are now dealing with the case or wether i should reply.

 

Any help would be really really appreciated

 

thanks

Hi

 

If the FOS are dealing with your complaint I would send a copy of welcomes letter to them and let them deal with it. I think you will find welcome are in the wrong to ask you to sign a new agreement and as you say they are showing signs of being desperate.

 

They are notorious for poor paperwork and i am sure the FOS are well aware. If you have a good adjudicator on the case they will chase welcome and investigate thoroughly.

PLEASE PLEASE

 

DONT SIGN A NEW AGREEMENT UNTIL YOU HAVE CHECKED IT OUT

 

THE ONLY REASON WELCOME GET YOU TO SIGN A NEW ONE IS BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL IS CRAP OR THEY DONT HAVE THE ORIGINAL

 

HAVE YOU SEEN THE ORIGINAL AGREEMENT YET

 

A NEW AGREEMENT CANCELS OUT THE PROTECTION ON THE PREVIOUSE

 

THIS SMELLS BAD

hi thank for replies. I have had a letter this morning from fos with a copy of welcomes letter. The fos have just asked if i am happy with reply or not.

 

obviously i am not as i still have no statements. I am very against signing a new agreement.

 

I do have original agreement and the copy of the agreement they sent me when i did a sar which is different. Figures are different slightly.

 

Im not really sure what i should do next. Should i reply to welcome? Or just go through the ombudsman? Would it make any difference that the copy of agreement they sent me is different from original. Only one agreement has ever been signed.

 

any help is really appreciated.

 

My credit agreement where they sign its blank. On they one they sent me it is signed.

 

On my credit agreement where all the figures are there is a px allowance £1 then deposit £1. This is where all the main figures are.

 

On the copy they sent me it doesnt have these figures on. Surely the copy they sent me should be exactly the same as the original i have as only one credit agreement was ever signed.

do you think them small differences would make any difference though? im not really to sure that the ombudsman would see that serious enough to do anything do you?

 

When i contact the fos again obviously i will state differences but what am i hoping to gain from it? The debt couldnt be wrote of by the fos because of it could it.

 

bit confused sorry

 

thanks

hiya, well i have done the letter to the fos. Basically saying no im not happy with response from welcome.

firstly still no statements.

secondly no mention of the differences in the original credit agreement and the copy. I asked how a credit agreement can alter when only one has been signed. I said i think its been fraudently produced as i definatly did not sign a second agreement.

 

and lastly that there is no way i want to sign another credit agreement with this company.

 

hope this is all ok

Just an update. Still waiting to hear from the ombudsman. Had a call today from welcome telling me that the fos had told them to contact me to sort out the payments. Didnt believe welcome so i ended call and rang the fos.. They told me they had not asked welcome to phone me.

 

i cant believe the cheek of this company..

 

First call i have had for a while from them. the calm before the storm i suppose. Im waiting for them to turn up for the car.

hi there, Just and update really and some advice needed.. Fos have looked into this now. Letter came today from them. Not sure what i should do next. Any help would be appreciated. main points from ombudsman below,

 

Basically its stating that the business (welcome) offered to re write my agreement in its letter of the 11 june 2009. This would have reduced my monthly repayments to show no ppi. This would not have prolonged the term of the agreement or increased the total amount payable. I did not respond.

 

The business could not provide an explanation as to why you(me) have two different documents signed(this is actually cca not just documents). I cannot conclude that you have suffered a financial loss because of this paticular aspect of your complaint and therefore cannot recomment you be awarded for compensation for this.

 

As of october 209 the business was obligated under s77 consumer credit act 1974 to provide you with an annual statement of account. It explained that it had been sent on 1st feb 2009. However as you did not recieve it and in light of this the business has provided me with a copy of your statement of account. which i have enclosed.

 

The business offers a refund of charges of £275.00 in addition to the £50 to reflect the distress and inconvenience caused. I am in view that this offer is fair and resonable.

 

Any help with response would be really appreciated.

I really do not know how to respond to this. It does not seem fair that the fos just accept that there is a second agreement that was never ever signed by me which is different from my agreement and welcome cant explain it..

 

Been doing lots of reading up on welcome and cant find anyone in a similiar boat to me.. Any help would be appreciated.

 

thanks
