    • 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.

Hi guys just need some advice really, basically brought a property some years ago, and as property prices went down and credit crunch kicked in, I had to move back in with my parents oweing to no income, couldn't sell the property as the sale would not have covered the outstanding mortgage and would have left a shortfall, therefore, having no other option I eventually rented the property out, however, as the property was vacant for quite a while there are quite alot of arrears outstanding from last year but payments have been made this year as you can guess, the mortgage is not a buy to let. Basically my mortgage lender is taking me to court, not for reposession but to get a court order to say they will reposess unless I maintain my proposed payments. They are willing to capitalise the arrears after a set amount of monthly payments. I have made all payments this year apart from around 2 months again due to property being vacant. I need some advice on whether I need to come clean and just advise the lender that the property is now rented out as it seems to me that they will find this out anyway, Im worried that Im about to land in some deep Cr4p!!!! I know what I did was wrong however, I feel like I had no other choice, I am in debt already, and this property will eventually be my get out of debt card.

H there, sorry for delay.

 

You are certainly in the horns of a dilemma - on the one hand you have made an effort to service your mortgage payments by letting the property. However you would almost certainly need permission from the lender to put a tenant in the property.

 

The choices are - you tell the lender and hope you can get their agreement to let the property, or - you enter your defence (I'm assuming you have an N11M defence form from the court?) stating you are able to make the payments going forward + an amount each month towards the arrears, without mentioning that it is rented. The choice has to be yours.

 

In any event you need to send your defence in to court before the hearing and we can help you with that - what date is the hearing?

Thank you so much for gettin back to me, I really really appreciate it....I have not at this stage recieved any documents from the lender or a hearing date as of yet apart from a 15 day notice to clear the arrears, or legal action will begin. I have however, spoken to them and they have advised me that if i cannot clear the arrears within the 15 days, then their solicitors will be in touch with me and that I will need to put a proposal of payment forward to them so that they can present this to court. After this I need to make six consecutive payments, after which they will consider capitalising the arrears.

 

Thank you so much for getting back once again Ell-enn, I feel relieved already. If I was to file a defense will the solicitors/courts not ask for evidence of income/expenditure etc? I'm sure I will be able to maintain the next 6 monthly payments with a little ontop to cover the arrears, so if I put a proposal of this in the defense, will that stop further action?

Personally I would not tell them its rented. Why cause more problems for yourself...

 

It all depends on your mortgage? Has it gone low because of the interest rate?

 

There are different angles you can use with different lenders. Please give some figures and then we ca work out how to go forward.

 

All they want to see is regular payments as long as it covers the mortgage, and then a little extra towards the arrears and then after 6 months some of the lenders will allow you to add the arrears onto the loan and start from scratch, then you can wait until the market gets better before you sell but again depends on figures and lender involved.

 

Most of the time if you tell the judge you are proposing to pay a little towards arrears and the mortgage every month they will give a suspended order as long as you continue. Its all about running your negotiations with them and start off minimally and see what they accept. It is worthwhile sometimes to inform the opposing solicitor beforehand s they tell the judge for you that you have a payment plan ready aswell...

 

Good Luck!

Hi, read your original mortgage contract to see if it specifically mentions anything about renting the property out before you do anything else. If it doesn't say you can't - then you would assume you can :)

Thank you guys for the advice. It does say that I can't do this without the lenders permission. arrears are just under £9000. I have been advised that I can make a proposal which will need to cover the monthly repayment and then a little ontop and provided I don't break this arrangement they will capitalise the arrears. How would I g about filling the income and expenditure? Especially as they have stated that they could possible ask for evidence of the income and expenditure at a later date.

Are you in employment? if so, will your income cover the mortgage and bills? (on paper)

I am not implying to do anything illegal or of such but you could perhaps do a little expenditure that will fit the amount to pay the mortgage and small arrears. I cannot see them asking for proof, if this does happen then leave a few days and change strategy, ie say you lost your job and revise it. You can get away with not filling it in, they just want to see the regular payments coming in. If it is right at the last minute and they demand this then I would fill it in.

 

Be warned this way it could backfire, I have gone through this a few times but although they were all BTL they have only ever asked for proof of tenancies so its a different scenarios to yours... Sometimes a little white lie just to keep things simple but only do this if you have confidence you will be able to keep up with the payment plan...

 

Please really think about which angle you go down but dont get stressed as it will cloud your judgement, just take your time and be confident whcih route you will try...

 

Good luck!

This is my advice and it's based on experience:

Do not let the property out, but, stay in it yourself and then take in lodgers. Make sure your official address is the property you own. Be grateful that you are dealing with a good lender and give him a realistic proposal including your income and expenditure sheet. The income from the lodgers should meet the income from alledged tenants, why, it should be enough to cover mortgage plus whatever you can on top. Ensure you maitain these payments for the period your lender reqires and then agree to re-capitilise. They are giving you a ''get out of jail card'' and not many mortgagoors are that lucky. lf you do not mess this one up, you should be alright and the whole dingaling sorted within a few years.

Best of luck.

Gustavius thank you so much for that info, so I will fill out the income and expenditure to say they are lodgers and then work out the gas/electric etc... they do pay me the majority of the amount that would go towards the mortgage, I would have to pay around 150, however, then the bills council tax etc would be paid by me right?

lt depends how you set it up. Normally you would charge, say £85 per room including bills or £120 to £130 for a double room including bills. You could also lower the rent and charge portions of the bills to the rooms on a weekl/monthly basis. Best, though, is a clean £120 per week for each of the one or two double bedrooms you have available, including bills.

Well if you are going to court and they are trying to repossess. If I understand correctly this is your first court case and you are going?

 

If yes, then arrive earlier and ask usher or clerk to let you know other solicitor arrives before you go in. When you meet solicitor tell them you want a suspended order subject to you keeping to the payment plan already agreed, see if you can get them to agree. They normally agree if it is a reasonable payment plan, then they will explain to the judge that they recommend suspended order as long as payment are made. If they dont agree then explain to judge you are looking to continue with payment plan and you want a suspended order, they normally give you a fair chance to show them you are making an effort.

 

Thats all you need to do, the judge normally takes the time to explain it quickly to you.

 

I hope this helps.

Streesed 150,

Did you know you can submit forms to the Court via Fax - it is acceptable.

Call the Court and get their Fax number would do not harm to advise on the situation (short on time).

 

No expert but this is what I did (I was runnig low on time)...it was fine.:)

All the best DDD

Season greetings at Christmas & Happy New Year to all!

Hi guys it's been a while since I updated this, but really wanted to say thank you very much to everyone who helped me out with this, I'm happy to say that I am back on my feet with he flat and have mantained my monthly payments inline with my arrangement via the court. Therefore, my lender has since capitalised the arrears and I still have my flat. Finally feel like I'm getting above board...!
