    • I'm at work now but promise to look in later. Can you confirm how you paid the first invoice?  It wasn't your fault if the signal was so poor and there was no alternative way to pay.  There must be a chance of reversing the charge with your bank.  There are no guarantees but Kev  https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/09766749/officers  has never had the backbone to do court so far.  Not even in one case,  
    • OK  so you may not have outed yourself if you said "we". No matter either way you paid. Snotty letter I am surprised that they were so quick off the mark threatening Court. They usually take months to go that far. No doubt that as you paid the first one they decided to strike quickly and scare you into paying. Dear Chuckleheads  aka Alliance,  I am replying to your LOCs You may have caught me the first time but that is  the end. What a nasty organisation you are. You do realise that you now have now no reason to continue to pursue me after reading my appeal since you know that my car was not cloned. Any further pursuit will end up with a complaint to the ICO that you are breaching my GDPR.  Please confirm that you have removed my details from your records. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I haven't gone for a snotty letter this time as they know that you paid for your car in another car park. So using a shot across their bows .  If it doesn't deter them and they send in the debt collectors or the Court you will then be able to get more money back from them for  breachi.ng your data protection than they will get should they win in Court-and they have no chance of that as you have paid. So go in with guns blazing and they might see sense.  Although never underestimate how stupid they are. Or greedy.
    • Thank you. Such a good point. They did issue all 3 before I paid though. I only paid one because I didn’t have proof of parking that time, only for two others.    Unfortunately no proof of my appeal as it was just submitted through a form on their website and no copy was sent to me. I only have the reply. I believe I just put something like “we made the honest mistake of using the incorrect parking area on the app” and that’s it. Thanks again for your help. 
    • They are absolute chuckleheads. You paid but because you entered a different car park site also belonging to them they are pursuing you despite them knowing what you had done. It would be very obvious to everyone, including Alliance that your car could not have been in two places at the same time. Thank you for posting the PCN so quickly making it a pity that you appealed since there are so many things wrong with it that you as keeper are not liable to pay the charge. They rarely accept appeals since that would mean they lose money but they have virtually no chance of beating you in Court. Very unlikely that they will take you to Court given the circumstances. Just in case you didn't out yourself as the driver could you please post up your appeal.
    • Jasowter I hope that common sense prevails with Iceland and the whole matter can be successfully ended. I would perhaps not have used a spell checker just to prove the dyslexia 🙂 though it may have made it more difficult to read. I noticed that you haven't uploaded the original PCN .Might not be necessary if the nes from Iceland is good. Otherwise perhaps you could get your son to do it by following the upload instructions so that we can appeal again with the extra ammunition provided by the PCN. Most of them rarely manage to get the wording right which means that you as the keeper are not liable to pay the charge-only the driver is and they do not know the name and address of the driver. So that would put you both in the clear if the PCN is non compliant.

    • 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.

Hello to everyone.

 

I have been reading this forum for a couple of days now and my heads spinning with all the info you guy's provide. I hope you might be able to help me.

 

I am in debt because of a divorce (all debts in my name)

 

I owe approx £20.5k to 4 creditors

 

Started defaulting last August 09

 

I then lost my job so I decided to up sticks and go and live in turkey for a while, ive made 1 £1 token payment to all my creditors in January that is it.

I have just come back and need to face the music and get my life back on track and need your advice on the following

 

I have a house in England jointly owned with my ex partner with approx £15k

equity which would be divided equally when I get my order for sale through

 

I have a house in Turkey which is worth £25k which will be divided up equally when I get the order for sale through.

 

Just got myself a new job start 1st April 2010

 

I have spoken to payplan with regards to a dmp and they have taken me on board paying £350 per month. I have not signed and send back this paperwork yet.

 

My question is this do I start the dmp and when the money comes through do a full and final offer letter to my creditors or do I start making token payments again and wait for the money on the property's (approx 3 months wait) then do full and final.

 

What should I do for the best as im really confused:confused::confused:

 

Thanks for your time

Hi,

 

Don't be ashamed, no one's here to judge you, a great number of members on this site have been in the same situation, some a whole lot worse, but with help from people on this site, you should be able to come to some sort of acceptable situation to help you through this.

 

How old are the debts ?

I'd wait till you have Payplan on board & you've been with them for a short while first. It may then be better showing you have payplan on your side who have assessed all your I & E out already.

 

Should you not want to offer the F & F letters yourself ie lets say at 35-50% payplan can do that on your behalf too (although think they may work the payments out differently on there F & Finals, you'd have to ask!!) Good luck

Hello and thank you for the response.

 

do you think it is to early to offer full and final settlement after only 6 months of defaulting ?

 

should I wait a little longer ?

 

So what you have said from the thread ubove if I am understanding it correctly is start my payplan and then offer the full and final.

 

All my creditors currently think that im in turkey as ive only been back a week will this have any implications or make any difference ?

 

sorry to ask so many questions

 

thank you

I'm not best to advise either way when to do it I'm afraid, having Payplan on board myself I found this has been better at getting interest stopped on our debts & they sorted a monthly payment we could afford too.

 

From time to time we do get letters sent to us from creditors offering settlement offers but thats coz we have been with Payplan for many years so can't imagine the creditors would succumb after just 6mths for you. Our settlement figures offered are never what we would be able to do anyway. As yet we are not in a position to offer anything anyway, although understand you can negotiate better esp if they may not have a leg to stand on with the CCA paperwork in place etc.

 

As Maroondevo52 said, how old are the debts & have you thought to apply to see what paperwork they hold on you? Also have you ever had any Default notices.

Hi the accounts have been defaulting since august 09 with just 1no £1 token payment in January at present I have had no defaults that im aware of as all my mail goes to turkey at present. However im staying at my friends now for a couple of weeks before I find a place of my own and i tried to open a basic bank account with co-op with got refered. im also now afraid i will have my creditors chasing me at my friends which i really dont want to happen so any advice on this also would be great.

 

Once I am in my own place I will start my payplan and hopefully the creditors will catch up with me there.

 

I will proberly be able to raise around £13,000 now which my friend would lend me now do you think they would accept this ? without me starting any plan at all?.

 

Also I will ask all my creditors to send me the cca even though i am not really sure what this does or does not do.

 

On top of this problem I have the added pressure of having a foreign wife she is from russia, in order for me to be able to apply for a spouse visa for her I need to show that I have enough disposable income each month of around £400 which is a requirement of our goverment I don't know how this will fit in also.

 

My life is just one big mess and i feel so down any help would be great.

 

 

Kind Regards

Hi,

 

Sorry, I had to go off-line last night after answering your posts :rolleyes:

 

Regarding asking for a cca, A debt becomes unenforceable under the CCA if a creditor does not supply a true copy of the signed credit agreement within 12 working days of it being requested.

 

The debt remains unenforceable for as long as the creditor fails to produce the signed credit agreement – this means if they produce the agreement some months down the line, they are quite within their rights to enforce it.

 

 

If after requesting a true copy of a signed credit agreement the creditor fails to produce it, the debtor may now however be in a good position to make a full and final offer to clear the debt.

 

Here's the CCA request template................. ....

 

http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter

 

You can send a CCA request to the following........

 

Personal loan natwest

Credit Card Natwest

Cahoot Credit Card

mbna

Argos

 

Are there any charges on the credit cards and store card which could be re-claimed if they happen to come up with enforceable agreements.

 

Regarding the overdraft, not sure there's a lot you can do about that.

 

Could you tell me how old all the debts are ?

 

Regards.

Hi to everybody

 

the debts are approx 1 year old does that make it worse ?

 

With regards to my foreign wife am i allowed to send her money and bank the £400 a month i need to say i can support her for her visa application as she is a dependant as she does not work in russia.

 

the creditors ask to see your wage slips and bank statements as I am looking to pay them £350 month then I could pay my debts in 3-4 months once my houses have been sold.

 

I just really need to save the money for her visa application and pay my creditors at the same time and i don't think this is possible has anyone experienced any thing like this before.

 

 

Kind Regards

Its likely then if the debts are only 1yr old the paperwork you did to get the credit could be in order then. Understandably creditors will want to know your I & E should you falter as they want proof not take your word for it. Doing it with Payplan means its all being done from one point, then the creditors liaise with them for I & E afterwards so you dont have to.

 

My suggestion would be to pay your credit cards off 1st esp if you are being hammered monthly for interest & late payment charges. Your personal loan if fixed payments are made across the term of the loan will have already incorporated the interest charge from the outset, so it prob wont matter if you pay it any earlier than scheduled, however you could ask them by phone how much an earlier settlement could be offered at (wont do any harm).

 

With regards to your foreign wife, not an area I know anything about. If you have an income each month that pays your bills etc then afterwards have a further disposable income of the £400 stipulated,does that not sort it then for the visa application?

 

It may be better after all you not entering a DMP with Payplan as I'm not sure how they would treat that disposable income, they may see it that it could be used to contribute to your debts instead????

thank you for you reply

 

I would like to start the dmp with payplan which they have agreed to payplan have asked me for nothing in terms of wage slips and bank statements are you saying once they speak to the creditors they will ask me to send them in ???.

 

I have the £400 per month after I have paid my living costs and payplan for dmp

does this mean I cannot save this money.

 

or should i just contact all creditors myself and split the £350 per month between them on my own or will this not put me in any better position

 

thanks again for your time

You are quite right in that Payplan dont ask for proof of this & proof of that which is good in the scheme of things esp when your trying to sort your financial matters out so can be at your lowest anyway.

 

If its already been assessed with your£400 still surplus (or used within there calculation methods to not show that as truly surplus on the creditors paperwork) then thats a good thing for you then when your do your Visa App.

 

If you dont want to just pay the debts off altogether then do the DMP and chip away at the debts that way instead, you do get less hassle if your with Payplan than dealing with the creditors yourself.

 

From experience tho, MBNA are not always co-operative of DMP's but that will be dependant on what payments are being offered of course!

thanks for all you replies mydogsawestie

 

you have been really helpful.

 

its not that my £400 leftover has been calculated into my living costs.

But when I applied to payplan i was with working for one company and two weeks later i got headhunted to another with £400 per month extra income.

 

I am fully aware that i am supposed to declare this and i will however i just want to get my wife across first will which will take 3 months which by this time i will have enough income from the sale of my houses to pay the debt in full.

 

I know what i am asking is wrong but do you think I will be ok

If you've already had your telephone interview on your I & E done & paperwork submitted then leave it based on that. They will have already costed that orig surplus out amongst your creditors more than likely anyway.

 

In a years time when you have your review meeting to see what circumstances have changed you can update it again then, who knows you may have settled your debts by them with F & F's anyway (which could be still a possibility).

 

Its a case of doing what you need to do in the meantime and that for you I guess also incorporates sorting matters for your wife to be with you by showing this £400 surplus to help in any success towards the visa application - good luck.

Thank you once again mydogsawestie.

 

So just to confirm once my plan has been agreed paperwork sent back etc neither payplan or creditors will ask for wage slips and bank statements.

 

Just do not want to do the wrong thing and best for both parties ie paying my creditors and getting my wife here

 

if the above is true i shall sign and post my copy of income and expenditure back to payplan along with the standing order mandate to my bank

 

kind regards

Creditors if you were doing it without Payplan would want to see everything. I can only give advice on what has been in my experience with Payplan however with anything in life there can never be any guarantees.

 

As mentioned earlier with Payplan I'm not sure how they would treat that disposable income, they may see it that it could be used to contribute to your debts instead????

You need to do what you have to for your own reasons & for your wife to be here with you. I think you may be over-thinking things as it is only going to be for a short period of time anyway as when your money comes through you said you are looking to settle your debts anyway.

Hi there, I have just read through the posts above.

If you go with Payplan now and make a monthly payment until your property sales have been completed, this will help lower your debts in the meantime. It may also keep your creditors sweet.

Payplan DMP do not ask for proof of anything - they only need a signed authority from you in order to act on your behalf. You do not have to provide proof of your income.

When your property sales are complete, you can then contact Payplan, explain what monies you have available, and they will then write to all creditors to find out what they would be wiling to accept, and then offer this lump sum on your behalf. If they choose to accept this, your debts will then be cleared. x
