    • Feeling tempted to cancel it now but scared that some of the debts will do more Ccj 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 - so effectivly if I'd have not took out the iva I 2021 I'd have clear score by now - but then again would I because I would have been hounded the last 3 years so 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 misold 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 account Lowel 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 creitt file I'd be happy   
    • 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

    • 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

 

I signed on in Feb 09 and provided all my documents including a P45. I knew I was due some tax back and expected a refund from the job centre.

 

I never got my refund and was told by the job centre I was not due one. I called the Tax office and they said I was due around £2k. I called the job centre back and it seems they never entered the P45 I provided them which was why they they said I was not due a refund. This was after my times being told by the job centre I did not understand how tax refunds works!

 

They then said they would check my master documents supplied, and would need to get from archives. I have been called today to be told that they cannot get the documents, due to health and safety they have been stored in an area that they are now longer allowed to access!

 

They have now said there is nothing I can do. The tax office wants a P45 from the job centre and a p60, I cannot provide the p45, until I sign off.

 

I told the job centre I would file a claim for all my documents within 40 days, but was told if my documents were stored in this special health and safety area they could not be provided under any circumstances!

 

Any ideas?

Hi Woody, I recently helped someone on another thread with some advice:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/benefits-tax-credits-minimum/260788-help-applying-tax-rebate-2.html#post2959516

 

RE. Tax year 2009 -10. Get evidence to show HMRC what you were doing throughout the whole tax year. Provide the HMRC with the evidence (pay-slips or print-outs from your previous employer(s) showing your gross income and tax deducted) and get JCP to provide evidence that you were on JSA for the other periods (i.e. paid well below the P.A.Y.E. weekly tax threshold - £124.51 for a single person on tax code of 647).

I'm no substitute for more competent advice from trained CAB and welfare rights workers - [URL="http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/benefits-tax-credits-minimum/127741-benefits-advice.html"]see this post[/URL] by Joa, great advice and links! I've been running a Crisis Loan campaign and help since Jan 2007 . See my annotations c/o "theyworkforyou". I'm also currently interested by the recent DWP Medical Services reform and the effect this is having on valid claims, seriously - someone needs to be keeping a suicide count.

As unbelievable as this sounds it is correct.

 

These were emailed to me a couple of weeks ago.

 

Files not in pickable location - 24 May 2010

A Health and Safety issue has arisen temporarily affecting files located within the highest storage levels at Heywood. Files affected have been made unavailable for request for the time being. As soon as the issue is resolved they will be made available again. These files will appear in the search results table with the status "Not in pickable location"

 

There is currently a Health and Safety issue in Heywood and they are not picking any files from the top 2 shelves. Approximately 150,000 boxes (2 million cases) are stored on these shelves. If the file you require is in these boxes it will show as "not in pickable location" .

 

Just keep checking with your local jobcentre, these papers will become available again..... eventually!

This is what you get with "out-sourcing". Capita plc. got £70m over 7 years to mess this job up.

All sorted in the end. However not by job centre, although a manager did call me back and said it was totally stupid problem with the health and safety thing and apologised for the screw up with not entering my P45.

 

I called tax office, they had past employment details, and just asked me the figure of p60 from job centre which i had been sent a copy of. Was told by HMRC that it was all computerised now so no need to send anything in, was told my refund total and said payment should be made by the end of June. Lets wait and see! :-)
