    • The only way to verify whether there is any financial reward for the management is seeing the agreement. That would be required during disclosure IF court proceedings went ahead... Unless you could bring pressure to bear and get a copy?
    • 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.

I am really hoping that someone can please advise me of what I cando as my ex-partner has run up debts well in excess of £170,000, he had hishouse repossessed shortly before we broke up and stayed at my house for acouple of weeks (he works away 2 weeks out of every 4) 2 or 3 times. During that time I did not put his name onanything to do with my home and I wouldn't allow him to have his post redirected here as I didn't want him to think we were now living together,wehad not been seeing each other for very long. The only thing that does have himon is my car insurance as a named driver as I had forgotten to remove thiswhich will be done first thing in the morning.

I was aware he had alot of debts but not as much as I have since found out. I only let him stay because he had nowhereelse to go. I also live in rented accommodation with my 12 year old little boyand am currently going through a very messy divorce and am unemployed.

Over the past few weeks I have had several (about 25)letters arrive here addressed to my ex-partner including some from the inlandrevenue and his mortgage company, I have simply put "not known at thisaddress" on the envelope and put them back into the post box.

Today however I had court documents sent here for him (Iopened them which I'm not sure I should have in case I have broken the law?)and across the front of them it states that the creditor had the Sheriff’soffice trace him and the Sheriff’s office advised them that he is living atthis address, which he isn’t and never has done. The amount of letters for himhas increased over the past few weeks which to me would suggest other creditorshave made enquires to the sheriff’s office. I also opened another letter received today from his mortgage company demanding thesum of £92,000, despite the fact I have sent several letters back them in pastweeks with not known at this address.

Please can anyone tell me how the Sheriff’s office couldhave traced him as living here, and what I can do about it? Also will he beregistered as living here on any credit recording agencies or anywhere elsethat I am also going to have to deal with?

My son and I have all our doors and windows locked as fromthe court paperwork we understand a high court enforcement office can forceentry and take our belongings.

Any help or guidance will be very much appreciated Thank you.:sad:

Have you a tenancy agreement, if so send a copy via email/fax as proof that you are the sole tenant to the sheriffs office stating basically what you have in here omitting any personal details you wish to withhold, make them aware that you have no ties to your ex and basically they are barking up the wrong tree.

 

Have to say I am not that knowledgeable on these sort of matters, however I am sure that people who know more will be a long shortly to help.

Hi Seanamarts,

 

Thank you for your reply. Yes I do have a tennancy agreement which is in my sole name, I am not sure if I have broken the law by opening the letters and court documents as they were not addressed to me but I guess I could explain this as well? Do you know if there is anywhere else that will have an address file wich could lead his creditors to this address that I should also send my tennancy agreement too?

 

Thank you so much for your help

I would hazard a guess he has given your address as a contact address, and no doubt all the creditors will be sharing information. Sadly I believe you may have to deal with this on a case by case basis although others more versed in the workings of the CRA's may have further advice.

 

If you have your doors & windows locked then this will indeed prevent the HCEO from gaining entry. As it is a residential property they have no right of forced entry unless they have previously gained peaceful entry & even so he cannot seize or remove any goods belonging to a child.

 

Do you hear from or see your ex on a regular basis & do you remain on friendly terms? If so it may pay to tackle this head on and get him to responsibility for his actions. You could give them his new address or point them in his general direction. Failing that maybe a Statutory Declaration sworn to say there is only yourself and your son at your address and tha fact the last time your ex stayed was on 31 February 1900 or similar.

Not trying to knock the tenancy idea but that is only a name on a form and not the actual people resident.

was just clutching at staws PT.. however with other docs ie bills CT etc would be proof that he is not residing there.

A statutory declaration is a document which you get signed (notarised) by a solicitor or commissioner of oaths - you can take it to a local solicitor and it costs £5 (some may charge a little more). I have affixed a sample stat dec, you will need to adapt to your particular circumstances. i.e. that you are the sole tenant of the property at (address) and have resided there since (date) no other person lives or has lived at that address since you commenced the tenancy . All items contained within the property are owned by (your name) and no items withwiin the property are owned by any other person. etc etc

The Sherriff's Office are HCEO's based in Croydon but work nationwide - don't often crop up here as they are more "reasonable" than some.

Hi Ell-enn, Thank you so much for the form I will speak with my solicitor on Monday and get this signed I will then send to the Sheriffs office and anyone else that sends anything here for him.

 

In reply to the post asking if we are in contact still, not anymore after today .... he is the type to bury his head in the sand and hope it will all go away, shame really because I did really like him :-(
