    • 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.

Toymaker1 , cant thank you enough for your post . I will use with a couple of subtle changes in it's entirity . However , it dosn't suggest that i want anything other than the obvious cesation of activity . Do i address the issue of DN and its removal within this correspondance or am i " running before a brisk walk " ??

 

Thanx willeewonker ..........

 

I have no special knowlege,I can only speak from my own experience of these matters.

I think the matter of the Default Notice is something you should take up with the credit reference agency which has it in their records. Get them to amend their records to show that in fact you do not have a DN. I have not done this myself, but I am sure that may other people have and that there is a well established procedure for that.

So far as the letter to send to Bryan Carter, I think it is best to keep things simple and direct. Keep very much to the main points- in your case it looks as if the main points are that you were terminated by Egg outside the provisions of CCA - that would be considered very serious matter by the court. Also you are making it clear to the solicitor (Bryan Carter) that he will need to decide if his loyalty is going to be with Egg (who you have shown are in hot water!) or if he wants to brazen it out and stand in court alongside Egg and co.

If the outcome is that Egg drop the matter and the debt is written off (even if they dont openly state that it is), that would be a good result wouldnt it?

That is what happened to me after I wrote a letter like the one I showed you.

I owed about £13,000 to Egg when they illegally terminated me. I sent them a letter like I showed you, and they (and their dca and solicitor) have kept very quite since January 2009. I assume you have stopped your DD. It is very important not to pay them a penny once you have thrown the gauntlet down.

 

Regards

Further to my earlier post, another thought is this.

What you will find is that neither Bryan Carter nor Fredrickson nor Egg

will be able to provide you with an answer to your main question i.e which part of CCA entitles them etc. etc. That is because they wont have an answer. That question highlights the catastrophic error they have made when they terminated card holders who were not in arrears or default (as defined by CCA). In boxing terminology I have found it is a knockout punch!

Thanks again toymaker1 ...

 

I stopped my D/D months after the actual termination letter as i was angry and disgusted by there actions ( obviously knew nothing of any DN at this point . My understanding from other similar threads to this , is that i should also ask for refund of monies paid since the termination . Would you aggree , or again wait for later developments ???

 

And finally it is my understanding this debt is still with EGG , although Carter's acting on their behalf . So , who should i forward the above letter to ? i.e. EGG , Carter's , both or indeed any of the authoritive bodies overseeing these cretins ???

Send the letter to Bryan Carter. But you notice the letter constantly links them all together in the matter, and it makes it clear they will all be held responsible if it comes to court. In some ways Bryan carter, as a solicitor, is the most vulnerable, as in effect a mere spear carrier acting on instructions of the DCA and Egg, he will ultimately be watching his own back, and will be the quickest of the three to throw in the towel, as he could have the most to loose from being seen to act unethically or improperly.

so far as asking for money back, that is a more tricky position which I cant give good advice on. Personally I wouldn't bother because of the stress and length of time it will take and further legal complications which will inevitably arise. My basic principle is that life is short enough as it is, so only fight battles you are pretty sure you can win.

Where you are on strong ground is getting your existing debt written off because of Egg's dodgy conduct.

Fingers crossed eh toymaker1 ............

 

My next port of call will be to send letters to CRA's advising of their duty's and requirments to confirm the data their processing is accurate and correct ?

 

I am of course referring to the completely illegal Default Notice now sitting firmly against my previously impeccable credit file , and the obvious disregard to the Data Protection Act .

 

I would greatly appreciate any pointers or advice as to the content of this letter that anyone with similar expertise could suggest ???

 

Thanx in anticipation , Willeewonker . ;)

Well there i am minding my own business thinking that the naughty EGG company and the incompotant Bryan Carter soilcitors have been banished into oblivion when a letter lands on my doorstep from a certain Aktiv Kapital ......

 

They inform me that they've purchased the debt off EGG and if i could just pop a cheque in the post for my outstanding balance , they'd be delighted !!!!! Oh and not to mention how nice people they are , ready to help me and offering discount - lucky me ???

 

They've also included an " open " letter from EGG giving notice of assignment . Its very dubious , on plain white paper with no referance to account details etc ... and comes with a plain BLACK EGG logo ?? Hmmmmm .........

 

So any offers , as to my best rebuff ??? All suggestions greatly welcomed and appreciated ?

 

Thanx in anticipation , Willeewonker .

If I got that letter from Aktiv Kapital my understanding of the situation would be that Bryan Carter have dropped the matter like a hot potato after receiving the letter you sent them in July 2009, and Aktiv are the next in line to take the case on. My understanding would be that Aktive havent got a clue about the details of the case, they are just trying to frighten you in the hope you might pay up.

Therefore I would probably send a letter like this:

 

Dear Aktiv Kapital

 

Thank you for your letter dated xxxxxxx.

 

In the course of accepting assignment of the outstanding dispute between Egg Banking, Fredrickson International, Bryan Carter Solicitors and myself, you will have become aware that the credit card agreement between Egg and myself, which is the subject of the dispute between Egg and myself, is governed in all respects by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, therefore I would be grateful if you would indicate to me the relevant section of the Act which provided Egg with legal entitlement to terminate my Egg agreement with effect from 6th March 2008.

 

You will also have become aware that the debt claimed by Egg is disputed by me. My reasons for disputing the debt, as both you and Egg Banking and Frederickson International and Bryan Carter Solicitors are fully aware, arise from the fact that Egg terminated my Egg agreement in a manner which does not comply with the provisions of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. As you know, paragraph 2.8 k. of the Office of Fair Trading debt collection Guidance of July 2003, updated in December 2006, makes it clear that collection activity must cease whilst investigating a disputed debt. I look forward to the results of your investigation.

 

In the event that the dispute between Aktiv Kapital, Egg Banking, Bryan Carter & Co Solicitors, Fredrickson International and myself is put before a court for adjudication, I will draw the court’s attention to the following points.

 

Both you and Egg Banking and Fredrickson International and Bryan Carter Solicitors, although fully aware that the debt is disputed, have continued collection activity in breach of paragraph 2.8k. of the OFT Debt Collection Guidance.

 

I also consider that the way in which you and Egg Banking and Frederickson International and Bryan carter Solicitors have exercised their rights under The Consumer Credit Act 1974 amounts to an unfair relationship in terms of section 140 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 as amended by the Consumer Credit Act 2006.

 

In the event that this matter is put before a court I will also draw the court’s attention to the manner in which Aktiv Kapital, Egg Banking plc, Bryan Carter Solicitors and Fredrickson International have dealt with the dispute between Aktiv Kapital, Bryan Carter Solicitors, Fredrickson International, Egg Banking plc and myself, particularly in relation to,

The Consumer Credit Act 1974,

The Data Protection Act 1998,

The Office of Fair Trading Guidance on Debt Collection and Unfair Business Practices (Updated December 2006),

The Solicitors’ Code of Conduct 2007,

The Credit Services Association Code Of Practice.

The pre-action protocols which have been approved by the Head of Civil Justice.

 

I am confident that Aktiv Kapital, and all other parties acting on behalf of Egg, and/or in respect of the dispute between Egg Banking and myself will, as I will, provide to the court full records of the matters to which I have referred.

 

Yours sincerely.

 

Hope there is something in there.

No, send exactly the same letter.

Speaking for myself, I have a totally inflexible rule. which is that I never ever discuss anything at all with them on the phone.

I dont confirm anything to them - for example if they say "is that Mr xxxx" or "can I check we have the correct address", I just say to them that if they believe they wish to contact someone at a particular address, they should write them a letter, as I do not wish to make any comment about anything, or confirm anything to them. - just tell them to send a letter to whoever they wish to communicate with.

Do everything in writing, and keep it filed.

Thanx again toymaker1 , will send out immediately recorded ........

 

On a different note , i've searched and trawled for hours but cant find posts relating to someone instigating legal proceedings to Egg and an adjourned case which was listed for June 2010 . I think it may have been in a Welsh court but not 100% . Anyone point me in the right direction ????

Why do you want to instigate legal proceedings?

I would think very very carefully before taking such a step.

Unless you are a lawyer, you will find it turns out to be a nightmare, and it will take over your life, and will cause you a lot of stress.

If that is OK then go ahead.

Also, you should realise that, - in my opinion, - the day you start proceedings you will have handed the initiative to them.

My aproach to Egg etc when they breach CCA 1974 has been to stop paying them a penny and defy them to take me to court, keeping a careful record of all correspondence, and checking all my legal information.

It was PT2537's thread on Egg agreements and what is wrong with them -and heard in Cardiff on 4 June. Judgement due in about 3 months. See PT2537's thread for background etc.

 

As toymaker says - why instigate proceedings?

 

Let Egg do the work if they dare - and await the result from PT's case.

Apologies for misleading everyone ..... My only interest in this court case was purely to satisfy my curiosity and see if there had been a judgement passed . As it had been quoted as a possible test case for the 160,000 termination letter brigade i wanted to see if our positioned had been strengthened ??

 

As for myself , i am fully aware of my limited experience and knowledge and my only actions will be based on the excellent advice i receive from this site .

 

On that note anyone any advice on how to approach the removal of the obviously illegal Default Notice sitting on my credit file ??
