    • 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.

Ah OK, I will keep trying over the next few days and hope the database clears up then.

 

I can't believe they literally stole £210!!

Just shows how bad I am with numbers that I didn't spot this earlier, it's people like me

they made their money from I guess! :(

 

Should I still send the "Statute Barred" letter to BCW, as from reading earlier posts in this thread I gather the PPI is a totally seperate issue?

 

I am going to order my credit repot from both Experian and Equifax tomorrow and see if this is on there.

 

Thanks for all your help, I guess I have a lot of reading to do to find my next step.

Hey again guys, hope everyone had a good double Bank Holiday!

 

So, this morning I received the agreement through the post as I requested, also attached was another sheet which showed ther £210 being taken off the amount of the car (as opposed to the agreement, where it was added back on!), and a payment summary showing the last transaction/payment made on this account was 07/11/02.

 

What they didn't send was the letter saying I had reached my Minimum Agreement...suprise suprise!

 

The cover letter reads: "Please find enclosed a copy of your statements/agreements as requested. Payment is due to *** on receipt of this statement" - Does this mean by just receiving the letter I am duty bound to pay in any way?

 

I'm not sure whether to point out that the agreement "stole" my deposit, repossessed the car without meeting the rules set in the contract and go for getting some of the money back, or whether to just send a "Statute Barred" letter and have done with it.

 

Should I contact CAB and see what they say?

I was waiting for post to pop back in as suggested, but he hasn't as of yet and I don't want to leave this lingering too long.

 

I don't think they know I have the original paperwork, and it maddens me to think they hound people like this after 11 years knowing full well most people will have lost/thrown away the paperwork after so long!

 

Any advice appreciated.

Another bump.

 

Have just just had a letter from the original solicitors demanding payment, offering an installment plan and lots of red ink saying if I ignore it I will be taken to court and have to pay costs etc.

 

Advice on my next step appreciated....I'm thinking Statute Barred but am a bit unsure what with the PPi thing that was brought up in previous posts.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi again guys, sorry to dig this thread up.

 

Quick summary, I followed the advice in this thread with regards to sending letters and got my PO returned both times with a letter stating that "I wouldn't be bothered again by that company (Buchanan, Clark & Wells).

 

I didn't do anything regarding the PPI claimback that was mentioned.

 

I have now recieved a letter about this again, this time direct from Aktiv Capital. (sp?)

 

So I rang them up to tell them I had sent all letters regarding this to Buchanan Clark & Wells

and I am fed up of this debt being sold around time and time again - they then informed me they have had the debt since 2003.

 

I asked why they don't have the paperwork I have already sent in and they told me they have no paperwork from me at all - utter crap!

 

When I informed them the debt was statute barred

the woman got all arsey with me and said it is not statute barred as there was a payment on the account in 2006

- this is also false as my letters prove the car was illegally repossessed in 2002/2003

and there is no way I would make a payment 3/4yrs later for a car I don't even have anymore

and knew they had broken the agreement in 2002!

 

I told them I have all the documents to prove that the car was taken illegally

and I have letters to prove it (saying their interest in the vehicle had ceased)

 

and that it means I can reclaim anything I paid under that agreement (this is in the actual agreement!)

and of course they repeated that they have no paperwork on file to this effect and can I send it in for them to look at.

 

I refused and said I am not sending any original documents as they will go missing,

and if I hadn;t kept these documents for 10yrs as it is, then I would have no evidence of any of this.

 

She requested I send photocopies....

 

OK, so I ask for your help again in what to do, because this is seriously turning into harrassment and seems never ending.

 

Every time I have to do the same stuff over and over, receive letter, send letters, send PO, get response, wait, recieve letter, send letter, send PO.

 

Then wait for the cycle to start again with a new name on the header.

 

All the original docs are still available to view from my OP's, and I really want to end this, and get back anything I can to rub their noses in it!

 

Would it be worth me going to a "no win no fee" solicitor and with all the documents and letting them deal with it?

 

I don't mind them taking a fee I just want it ended, and if I get anything back then its a bonus.

 

I should say that I got a copy of my credit agreement when I originally posted and there is nothing on this regarding this debt.

 

Since the OP I have been accepted for a credit card and a store card.

 

If it is easy enough for me to do myself then I will give it a go, but I really need some advice again on my next steps.

 

I'm also hoping that I havn't started the 6yrs again by making contact via phone with them.

 

Any advice welcomed - please help me stuff this down their throats, and maybe even look into this PPI thing for £2500 that was mentioned!?

 

Thanks in advance (again)

 

Dooby.

Hey dx,

 

I rang them as I was just so annoyed I'd got another letter, and after getting the response last time from Buchanan Clark & Wells I thought the matter was over and wanted to let them know this fact.

 

My mistake and hope I have not messed up too much! :(

 

When you say "ring the original creditor and ask them why they did not give them back" - what are you referring to?

The letters I have are in my OP's, but I have not recieved any letters stating they would give me any money back at all.

 

I have the original agreement which says on it that if a certain amount is paid then they cannot take the vehicle without a court order (which they didn't have) and if the agreement is broken then I am entitled to all money paid.

 

These are in the CA and letter stating "We are please to confirm the above numbered Conditional Sale Agreement has been reached and our interest in the vehicle has now ceased"....which I assume refers to the minimum amount for repossession without a court order being reached?

 

Who is the original creditor, Yes Car Credit / Direct Auto Finance or the last company to request money (Aktiv Kapital)

This last letter says the debt is £3911.14 yet if I pay £1368.90 then they will pay £2542.24 - how kind of them eh!?

 

I'm unsure what I can / cannot get back as each time the amount requested is different, the company is different and they act as though they never heard of each other - which is why when they said they have had the debt since 2003 it threw me...

 

If that is true then surely they should have all the letters I sent to BC&W last year?

 

Somebody also pointed out earlier in this thread that the £210 deposit was taken off the interest (not the car) and then added back on at then end and that this may also make the whole agreement invalid - but it wasn't confirmed and I'm not sure if this is another route I could take?

 

To be honest I would rather get this main debt sorted before I start looking at PPI, but I don't know what to do next or who to do it to.

 

I promise I will not be making or taking any more phone calls though!

 

Thanks in advance for you advice.

well you cant reclaim the PPI if you get all your payments back. you dont need too reclaim ppi if you do that.

 

the agreement is invalid due to the deposit fiddle

the car was unlawfully repossed - make the agreement invalid too

 

forget all the DCA's etc etc .

 

you need to contact Yes car credit.

 

i think you might well get some luck following the recent news.

Wow, I didn't even know about that - at least it's come to light after all this time about what they have been doing!

 

I think Yes Car Credit disappeared / went under years ago, so should I contact Yes Loans?

Would I be best doing this myself or contacting a no win no fee solicitor?

 

What sort of letter should I send, just point out the agreement is null and void due to the deposit fiddle and the car was repossessed illegally and I want all my money back as per the t&c's of the agreement?

 

What should I send to Aktiv Kapita with regards to this?

 

Thanks again, you really are a star!

do not go near any fleecing NWNF solicitor

you'll lose +50% of your claim

 

and refrain from using the word illegal

- its not a criminal matter - it's a civil one. unlawful.

 

pers i'd ring them and listen to what they have to say.

 

they cant claim its sb'ed as fleecers are still chasing you.

 

have you ever checked your cra file ?

Thanks again for the reply dx.

 

However I am a bit confused, as you say to ring "them" - who do you mean?

 

Also in your last message you said to never ring and speak to them?

 

Why would they claim it is statute barred, isn't that what I would be doing?

 

I got my credit report from experian/equifax when I originally posted this thread, and there is nothing on there in relation to this. As I said in an earlier post also, since then I have been accepted for a credit card and a storecard.

 

Thanks.

Hey dx,

 

Yeah I have been done over, but I don't know why I havn't got my money back yet?

If you know the answer, could you tell me? :)

I will admit I'm not sure what to say, but I will see if they know anything about the debt in question.

If this is wrong please advise, otherwise I will report back their response.
