    • 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.

:mad:I recently parked in a free parking space in a leisure/retail park after having a sandwich from McDonalds (part of the leisure park) - which I ate in the car. I checked the parking sign above the car to see if there was a time limit but there was not. I walked across the road to sit an exam. After the exam I then walked back over the road, into American Golf Discount store (part of the leisure park) and back to the car.

I found that I had received a PCN for £60 for leaving the leisure complex and video evidence taken.

 

Apparently the car spaces are only to be used for the leisure park but the sign above the car made no mention to that. Apparently there are other different signs dotted around the car park with the Leisure park stores logo - however it was not clear that this meant cannot leave the leisure park - (technically I did use the leisure park services twice.

 

I could not afford the £60 within 7 days, and refuse to pay a £100 fine now. I have received 2 letters since threatening court action. I feel a bit conned by the whole event as it was unclear that you cannot leave the leisure park complex.

 

Any advice? Is this enforceable? Should I write to them? Should I pay? PLease help!

Don't write to them - you will be seen as a fish starting to bite the bait.

 

As you will have probably read already the advice would be the same as with all other PPC Invoices:

 

1. Ignore

2. Ignore

3. Return to Step 1

 

If you haven't already expect a letter from Roxburghe "Debt Collectors" suggesting they will pass things along to their solictor if you don't pay. Ignore - its part of their "business plan" to make you think you have no option but to pay.

 

After that expect your file to be moved accross the office to another desk and then receive perhaps two letters from a solictor using the name Graham White (aka Micheal Sobell) suggesting if you don't pay they will consider legal action and nasty things will happen. You might notice that the phone number for Roxburgh is one digit different to that of Micheal Sobell. Strange eh ?

 

After that it would seem you won't receive anything else - you become a fish that got away.

 

It was a free carpark - they didn't incur any losses. You don't owe them anything.

 

Read up on Private Parking Companies (PPC's) on this and other forums - understand how they work - in a nutshell scaring people into paying money.

 

What is just as concering is that the DVLA are as complicit in this whole [problem] as the likes of Excel as they are quite happy to reap a few pounds for every Registerd Keepers Details they provide to these PPC's on the basis they have "Due Reason" despite the fact many would argue it is a against the Data Protection Act and they have no reason to supply this information.

 

If your going to write to anybody send a letter to your local MP demanding action that the DVLA should be stopped from doing this.

 

Remember that whilst it is presented to you as a PCN it IS NOT A Penalty Charge Notice - something issed by the Police or Council which would be a different ball game alltogether.

 

HTH.

It's evidence of nothing.

It's not a fine, it is in fact no more than a begging letter.

 

I have received 2 letters since threatening court action. I feel a bit conned by the whole event as it was unclear that you cannot leave the leisure park complex.

 

If they had any chance of 'court action' do you really believe you would get letter after letter?

No

 

Should I write to them?

 

No

 

Should I pay?

 

No

 

PLease help!

Please remember our troops, fighting and dying in our name. God protect them.

I just received one as I was walking back to my car today. was only gone 15 minutes to get change for the machine.

 

He was writing out the ticket as I got there. I said to my wife to get a ticket and the guy said why bother, let me stick this ticket on your car instead because you can now park for free as you have a ticket already. Like a fool I did then went into the restaurant and ate.

 

I assume he then got his photos. I didnt really think at the time.

 

Ive read all the posts on here saying ignore but not any outcome. How long have people been ignoring and how much extra have they charged?

 

I aint got £60 but feel im going to have to pay it because I dont want to ignore and end up with baylifts coming round.

Because if you ignore the only outcome will be the give up. Most people don't come back to report that (although some do).

 

Do you think the advice would be Ignore if that wasn't the way to handle a Invoice such as the one you have ?

 

 

I aint got £60 but feel im going to have to pay it because I dont want to ignore and end up with baylifts coming round.

 

Bailiffs are not going to come round, your credit rating will not be effected and so on (despite the letters you will receive in attempt to make the unwary and gullable think otherwise). For anything like that to happen:

 

1. You must be taken to Court

2. You must loose the case

3. You refuse to pay the Court after the event

 

The PPC that issued your Invoice are not going to venture anywhere near [1] as they wouldn't stand a chance of getting anywhere so their threats are as empty as a bottle with nothing in it.

 

Chances are the Invoice you have received doesn't comply with law anyway - eg must have the Companies Regsitsered address in full and so on.

 

By all means pay the £60 (you don't have) and at the same time let me have your address and I'll send you an Invoice for £100 covering my time in typing this message for which I expect payment by return. Thanks.

Don't worry about it. You won't be going anywhere near a court, nor ailiffs round your house.

They work on fear factor.

Try as i might, i can't get these muppets to take me to court. Even asked them to do so. Nope, won't do it.

how much extra have they charged?

 

Bear in mind that the 'charge' increase is an arbitary figure plucked out of the air. You'd think it was a bit strange if your telephone bill was £10 and then two weeks later it suddenly became £80, just cos BT felt like it!

My wife paid the £60, can do without the stress and fear of being taken to court.

 

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

 

Congratulations you've just thrown £60 down the drain and caused the PPC's to perhaps stay around just a little bit longer. I'm sure any worthy charity would have welcomed such a donation.

 

I can hear the laughter from Excel from here. Your not Simon Renshaw-Smith in disguse are you ?

 

Oh, forgot to say your wife owes me £100 for the message I typed earlier. If you don't pay I'm going to take you to court. Be warned this will not go away.

Increased the charge to £100 as previously mentioned.

OP's choice. £60 is obviously worth the peace of mind.. ;)

 

Slight correction DMD. mickeuk2004 is not the OP.

Of course it's their choice/decision - it's just such a damn shame that's all, especially as money is obviously tight for them.

Now & again **it happens to us all & you have to show some bottle & deal with it/or not.

The pity also is that they may now feature on some sucker list.

 

I also find it frustrating that advice is asked for, given & then completely ignored.

Ah well, you can lead a horse to water & all that.
