    • 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.

Hey folks, can I remind you that I'm entrusting my next moves to your advice. There is always a different point of views wherever you might find yourself, but let's not fall out over them please. I'm not worried about debt avoidance, I've been paying these people for the last seven years or more, but I don't agree with the amount they claim (they bought?) is correct.

 

Over the years I must have paid them far more than they purchased the debt for, so I think it's time to call it quits by whatever means. Please remember that these were the folks that were pushing me to pay more - only because they were afraid that I might die before I paid them! If you need to get angry, get angry at them - not each other.

 

Thanks,

Don.

 

We have a big difference of opinion Don..... it's entirely up to you how you wish to proceed.

 

Good luck in whatever you decide.

That's a shame what just happened there, I thought we all shared a common bond?

 

Anyway, update.

 

I received a letter from the DCA which informs me that they are unable to provide the paperwork I requested as the original creditor have failed to supply it. Therefore they say they are are 'closing their file'. having said that they then go on to say that I still owe them the (disputed amount) of money, and at any future time should they come into possession of the CCA I requested they will reopen the case.

 

My thoughts on this are twofold. Firstly relief of course, as other forum members suspected I now feel they were simply leaching me of cash. My second concern is the mention of re-opening the file at some future date. Even if this can't or never will happen I don't feel it is right to allow them to hold onto it. The figure they originally purchased as 'debt' owed by me is incorrect, so no matter if they did reopen the file the figure would remain incorrect and in dispute.

 

Is there any official way I can make this clear? I simply want to make sure that whatever unsatisfied debt they consider they own is not the incorrect figure that they are bandying around. I don't want to be held accountable for a sum I don't owe either now or at any future date.

I'll try to get one by post then. Excuse me for being a bit thick regarding this but what exactly would have happened had I done it six weeks ago? How would I have benefit from that I mean? I know I've a lot to come to learn regarding these financial goings on so I'm still unclear as to how it benefits me to have the report.

 

What am I looking for and how would having the info earlier have helped? I suppose that's what I'm driving at. I need to know this stuff so that I can tell others without telling them wrong you see.

Your credit files are a mine of information on

the status of your credit accounts, defaults,

late payments, missed payments default dates,

last payment dates, CCJs you may not know

about, searches being made by DCAs and others.

If a debt does not show it COULD mean that it is

statute barred.

I have just used my bank account debit card on that noddle site mentioned above and it worked. I found that I have a good credit rating, and as dx guessed there was no sign or mention of the money that First Credit were taking from me. I have indeed been diddled good style! I've been paying them back since 2004.

 

Isn't telling outright lies to glean money from folk illegal? First Credit have taken a good couple of thousand pounds off me relating to that, and the cheeky b****rds wanted me to pay more before I went and died on them! Good god what type of world has this become.

i'm sorry but yet again' the get the cca mob' led you astray.

 

ok i'd write a stern letter to all those that have been fleecing you demanding the money back

 

cant hurt.

 

not sure an sar to each OC night help, if there ARE penalty charges within 6yrs you can get back

or PPI, if there ws ppi then thats still up for grabs as there is not time limit.

 

but the 6yrs rule for holding paperwork might work against you.

Bear in mind that noddle/callcredit are the least used of the three main agencies, I have several debts that don't show on that one but do on the others so don't take noddle on it's lonesome as gospel.

Agreed but rather than sign up to Experian and Equifax online, just fill out the paper forms. Ok, it will cost £2 each but I much prefer it to the 30 day 'free' trial that if you forget to cancel, you get stung.

Absolutely, I only use noddle because it's free and as a true Scotsman it's impossible to resist :)

 

On a related note, I see you have said on several threads about getting bombarded with ads if you sign up for noddle...I have to say I've had none, not a dicky bird, admittedly maybe it's because my credit rating is so bad that NO ONE will sell me anything financial :D

Give it time. Since I signed up, my spam folder has more than trebled with ads. I do get one from Wowcher which I know is passed on from Noddle
