    • 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.

Further to my query regarding a problem with my employer. I today received a letter from the company stating that my contract was terminated and i have been given one weeks notice which i do not need to work. However, there was no reason given as to why my contract has been terminated, i have been with the company 8 months and my probabtion was at 6 months. I was notified at my 6 month point that i had fullfilled my probationary period and was now classed as a full time employee. Surely they can not do this can they?

Hi,

 

I assume that this thread follows your previous one...

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/employment-problems/260457-suspended-work.html

 

(a) Do you have a letter stating the above? (satisfied the probation period and confirmation of your permanent employment status)

Hi,

 

Under ERA 1996, s92... you are entitled to written reasons for dismissal if continuously employed for one year...

 

However, I would still request that they send you a letter containing a brief of their decision, and facts leading to this outcome.

 

Do you have any idea about the basis behind their decision?

Hi thanks for the reply, well its pretty much to do with the previous thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/employment-problems/260457-suspended-work.html

 

 

But surely they must go through the proper procedures of a verbal warning first? i was told that if there were any problems then HR would and should be there. This never happened here and i felt intimidated having to head project engineers on a one way send conversation with me. I felt it was not dealt with correctly and had it been then we would not be in the situation we are now.

Because you have been with them for less than a continuous year, you would not have recourse to legal redress.

 

Upon the conclusion of their investigation, they felt reasonable to terminate your contract. They would not have to go through the disciplinary prototcol to dismiss you, and consequently could dismiss you for pretty much anything, as unreasonable as it may read.

So even though i had successfully seen out my probation and then some, i still have no legal rights whatsoever? not shooting the messenger, it jsut seems ridiculous that i have to be there a year before i have any rights.

What BRB has said is correct. Less than 12 months and an employer can just terminate your contract without even giving a reason. This happens all the time. The only legal route is if there is an element of discrimination.

 

I feel very sorry for anyone this happens to - it happened to my son with his first job - and he didn't even get a reason why, and to this day doesn't know why. Very unprofessional IMO.

 

Best of luck in the future.

Well i have found out from a former employee who left before. He did say that in his opinion they were looking for a reason due to the location where i lived. It was getting more difficult to get me out on on call jobs as most were in the merseyside area whereas i am in the west yorkshire area. A few things are becoming a little clear now. Very underhand in my opinion and i can do nothing about it. I do think it is very unfair having to work for a year before having any rights, if i have a permanent contract after probabtion then as far as im concerned i should have rights.

Unfortunately the law is extremely unfair. You may well have been unfairly dismissed (and this seems clear cut on the basis of not following minimum disciplinary procedures), however you cannot take a case for Unfair Dismissal to a Tribunal with less than 12 months service save for certain specified exclusions, the main one being discrimination. A probationary period means absolutely nothing in law - neither does making you a 'permanent' member of staff for successfully completing that milestone - the 12 months service is what counts.

 

As honeybee13 says - best to put this down to experience and good luck in finding something else quickly.

Any advice given is done so on the assumption that recipients will also take professional advice where appropriate.

Well i may just have an ace up my sleeve. I have a certificate given to me by my boss which was a forged RF awareness certificate to use until they could get me on a course. This is a BIG no no in my line of work and can get the companies contracts terminated. How would you suggest i use this information?

Hello again. I don't know what RF is, can you help me please? If it's anything to do with the HSE [Health and Safety Exec], it could be reportable.

 

What are you hoping to achieve with the information?

Hi Honeybee. RF is radio frequecncy awareness, it is to do with HSE, and something like this i guarantee would get the company shut down. It would mean me working on telecomms sites with high-very high RF output which is dangerous if dealt with incorrectly. Now my former boss edited a RF awareness cert and changed the last number and put my name on it. When all the certs had to be updated he did make sure that one came back as i think he was a little worried with everything ahd gone on, but i had made a copy before that. What am i aiming to get from this info....just a better settlement package than one weeks notice seeing as though i have to give them four, and a good referance.

Hi,

 

Are you sure that your certificate, and others (?), have been doctored?

Im absolutely 150% positive, as i havent attended the course. Everyone who attends the course has to be verified with id and their course number. This goes back to a central office and this is checked religiously. If it doesnt match in anyway it is returned and investigated. Now ovbviously my cert was never sent to the records office, just given to me for when i worked on contract x (where they were not checked on site) but then i was moved to contract y (where they would be checked)

 

EDIT

 

 

Also only my cert was doctored, the reason being i was away when the course was run. So while they tried getting me on to other courses i was to use the doctored cert.

(a) Have you, since, attended the course and get a 'proper' certificate, or are you still in possession of that 'doctored' certificate?

You could inform the HSE about it... sending a copy of the 'doctored' certificate...

 

Bear in mind that you were contracted on sites where being in possession of such a certificate was an obligation (checked or not) and you were (and are) fully aware that that certificate was 'doctored'...

Hence the reason i was going to " barter " with my former employers and call their bluff rather than proceed to the HSE. Regardless of how bad they have treat me, there are peoples livelyhoods at stake here and i would not want to jeopordise that.
