    • 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.

Great to read posts from people who have managed to get money back from Nasty Vest.

 

I received a similar letter yesterday to that received by Gebedsman offering to repay me £4587 as a gesture of goodwill but they still stick to the 'we believe that our charges are fair and justified' story.

 

Just a point to Desparate Dan did you have to request the cheque?

 

I only ask as I would prefer to have the cash that way rather than it going direct into my account.

PPMan159 I was happily waiting for my court date when a letter and cheque from Corbetts turned up out of the blue, using the usual we are right, but as a commercial decision its better to settle the claim then take it to court line lol.

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply

 

The offer I got yesterday was from Mr Higley at Nasty Vest Customer Services in Borehamwood and not from Cobbets, as I would have expected to be the case.

 

I have just posted a letter back to Nasty Vest basically requesting that they repay to me all charges,interest and courts fees totalling £5776.72 and that I will only accept the sum of £4587 previously offered as part settlement and on the clear understanding that I will pursue recovery of the balance.

 

Only once I have received full settlement will I be prepared to withdraw my claim which Cobbetts are now planning on defending.

 

I have also asked that they make an offer of compensation to me in order that I will agree to the confidentilallity clause that they wish to impose.

 

It has taken since November last year to get to this point so another coupe of weeks will not make that much difference.

THANKS TO THIS SUPERB WEB SITE, I'VE JUST HAD A CHEQUE FOR £3062!!:D If anyone is thinking of quitting the fight...DON'T!! If you need help, you'll find it on this site ~ & quickly, too!! Originally requested statements from bank end of November, sent first refund request to bank in early January, sent '14 day deadline to court action' letter in mid-February, started court action on 8th March, they acknowledged & filed defence on the 28th day :( !! I received their request for further info via the local court, which put me on the verge of giving it all up :confused: until I followed the advice on this site & sent the 'Claimants Response' letter. Was really suprised to have a hearing date through for just a fortnight later!! Should have been going to hearing this coming Wednesday but received a cheque on Saturday which was just £28 short of my total claim for charges, interest & court fees . I'm not going to argue about that!! They really dragged it all out to the bitter end, only responding to everything at the last possible moment! & leaving me very little time to notify the court with the weekend & bank holiday:mad:!! Anyway, it was all worth it in the end!! I really couldn't have done it without your site & will be giving a donation to say thank you as soon as the cheque is in my account!! Keep up your good work!! I'm sure there are plenty of others like me out there who need all the help they can get!! Thanks again. :D xxx

(I'm sorry, I can't even find my thread to ask for it to be moved!! Please could someone do the honours for me, if poss!! :o )

Hi Guys, couple of questions I'd like to ask cos I've now had enough of Natwest. Since 1st May I've had £380 charges applied to my account. That is insane! I'd like to know; where do I send the letter for requesting my last 6 years of data, do I enclose £10 cash or £10 cheque and if a cheque, who is it payable to? And then, finally, who do I send the letters saying I want to reclaim my charges too?

 

Thanks folks, I'm really encouraged by some of the success stories here.

Carl.

Weymouth

 

Welcome to CAG.

 

To begin with open your own thread in the Nat West section under Weymouth v Nat West.

 

That way it will be easier to follow as all of your posts will be in your own section and will not get confused with others.

 

The SAR should be sent to the following address:-

 

National Westminster Bank Plc

Customer Relations

Ground Floor

National Westminster House

225 Shenley Road

Borehamwood

WD6 1TE

 

Enclose a cheque for £10 payable to Nat West and then wait 40 days.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that NatWest paid back my charges. I sent my 2nd letter with the calculation of costs spreadsheet and also my bank statements (hadnt sent them first time round and got a letter back to say I had to send them). Sent the letter on the Tuesday 17th July and got a reply on Saturday 21st July saying that they didnt agree with that they had done anything wrong but would agree to pay back £4,024 which is exactly the amount I asked for! The money was put into my account on Wednesday 25th July.

Thanks to CAG for all your help. I cant believe that they paid up without a fight - fantastic!
