    • 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.

Hi There,

I have read lots of the threads relating to private company parking charges and some in particular about TPS total parking solutions but I just need some extra assurance!

 

I over stayed a free for 15mins car park at a hospital whilst dropping my girlfriend off for cancer surgery, to be honest the car parking was the last thing on my mind.

 

after reading the various forums I ignored the ticket and now I have received the traffic enforcement notice for £60. I know the advice will be to continue to ignore but a few things worry me, in particular the threat of bailiffs. Can TPS pass on this 'debt' to a collection company who will then have the right to pursue me for the money including the use of bailiffs?

 

also it worries me that the traffic notice says "operating in accordance with the BPA and DVLA code of practice for private car park enforcement', does this mean they are within their rights to chase me for the money and what is the code of practice for private car park enforcement?

 

any advice would be gratefully received.

Forget about the BPA. It's not a regulator, it's a cosy member's association financed by the private parking industry. As for debt collectors, don't confuse them with bailiffs. For the latter to become involved the case would have to go to court, you lose and then you refuse to pay whatever the judge orders within 28 days. This is such an unlikely scenario it's not worth worrying about. Debt collectors on the other hand are just ordinary citizens with no more power than you or I to demand money off people. They cannot enter property, they cannot seize property and they cannot damage anyone's credit record over an alleged private parking ticket. Ignore these clowns and just have a laugh at the stupid letters they will send to you.

 

Just another correction. This is not a "fine", it's a speculative invoice.

Abosutely nothing about your case makes it in any way enforcable compared to all the others you've read about. It's still a private company, you still aren't in debt, they still can't make you pay. Nothing has changed - they are a private company and have no authority to issue you with a penalty.

 

Of course the letters worry you - that's what they are deliberately designed to do. Now you know the game, be smarter than them and ignore their letters.

A debt collector is hired to try and collect a debt. If he can't collect - ie you don't volunteer to pay - he's completely unable to do a thing. Let him waste his time perstering you if it comes to that. The more you ignore, the more futile it all becomes.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi,

 

I have received similar letters. I parked in a free retail park and left by foot to goto other shops out of the park. On reading the notice at the entrance of the car park, it states overstaying over 2 hours or leaving premises will result in a charge of £70 or £50 if paid within 14 days. However the Parking Charge Notice stuck on my car states £60 or £40 within 14 day...?? That alone is a legal get out point if it it went to court. They are just [problematic] frightening Joe public into paying up. This site assures people that they are not alone.

Had problem with TPS in February this year. Only resolved after receiving 2 letters from Zenith Collections. Complained to financial ombudsman. TPS said they would cancel it on this occasion (November). Search through Moneyexpert.com and find some template letters. Do not give in! Don't admit liability !

All hospitals have a 15 min drop off zone......Im sure your local media would love to hear about this.....to be honest Im getting rather fed up with NHS Hospitals doing this all the time or their agents.....profiteering from the sick and those who look after them......I feel a campaign coming on to the health secretarty...he's next on my list.

 

As for bailiffs etc sit back and laugh.....The hospital actually has to take you to court and win and you refuse to pay before the B word is mentioned
