    • 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.

Was your letter from compliance team? Mine was which meant I had to provide them with info they had asked for, childcare contracts, bank statements, utility bills etc. If they have not asked you then I would call them up to ask them to clarify. It sounds like you have made a genuine error so best to speak to them and give them your income details as it will prob be amended in April anyway!

I have declared the wrong income for the last 3 times so don't think its going to be that simple. Mine was from a compliance officer but just says if they don't hear from me thay will amend my award withthe info they have??

Maryj's compliance review is looking at something entirely different to yours, so it isn't dealt with in the same way.

 

You are not required to provide any information unless you want to do so voluntarily. Yours is an 'income enquiry' by the compliance team, which is fairly straightforward.

 

Maryj's is a compliance 'examination' which means that they needed her to send information to them to review her entire claim.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field. If requested, I will provide a link where possible to relevant legislation or guidance, so that advice provided can be confirmed and I do encourage others to follow those links for their own peace of mind. Sometimes my advice is not what people necesserily want to hear, but I will advise on facts as I know them - although it may not be what a person wants to hear it helps to know where you stand. Advice on the internet should never be a substitute for advice from your own legal professional with full knowledge of your individual case.

I have to make a decision as this keeps going round in my head. Its so hard, I've drafted a letter explaining all but don't know if I should send it or wait to see what happens??? See if they ask for anything and if they do then disclose all??? Its not that I don't want to pay it back, I do - I'm just so very scared of the outcome. I've also made a list of my income and outgoings. Should I give them that information or again wait for the outcome. Feel like disappearing, I'm so stupid!!!

Yes that is correct although it was an enquiry for 1 year and a review for another. I think they are wanting you to clarify your income details as it doesn't match what they have. They will have your correct income so you will just have to say you have made a mistake which was ignorance on your part and not intentional as it sounds like you have been unclear about your increase etc. They will prob want to recalculate to work out any overpayment.

 

All you can do is phone to give correct income and I'm sure if they want further info they will ask. From what I have read on here it is best to speak to them so you can match up the info they have and then your award will be sorted out.

If the income that they have stated they hold for you in the letter is correct, you do not need to contact them, they are not requesting disclosure. Only contact them if the income they hold for you stated in the letter is incorrect, or if they contact you later asking you to provide information.

Thank you so so much ErikaPNP, you have been a tremendous help to me. I can't thank you enough for you advice. I will keep you informed of any outcome/developments. Fingers crossed all will be ok!

 

Thank you to everyone for their support in this. I don't think I could cope at all without you. Not that I'm coping well but am better than I would have been on my own!!!

If it says in the letter that it is about income for 2011 then just give them what it is for this year as they have not asked for anything else so don't assume they have it wrong for past 3 years.

 

Good luck with it and keep us posted

As I said earlier, you do not have to contact them, or give them anything unless they ask for it or you disagree with the income figure they say that they hold. Maryj, I know you mean well but please do bear in mind that sososcared's case is very different to yours; it's an entirely different type of enquiry. Benefit issues are never a one-size-fits-all. What is applicable in your case, is not necessarily applicable in another tax credit case. The wrong information, however well meaning can be extremely damaging to a person's case.

My advice is based on my opinion, my experience and my education. I do not profess to be an expert in any given field.

So I wait and see what they come back to me with... Hope they just amend my award to what it should be and ask for overpayment to be paid for year 2010-11 and for what ever has been overpayed this year...

 

That has to be your decision. They are not asking you for anything more at this stage are they. As long as they have the correct details for 10/11, they're asking you to let them know if they haven't got that right. If they are assuming you earnt more than you actually did in that year, you need to let them know, or they could amend things in the wrong direction hun!

Glad you're feeling better today though. I know exactly how you're feeling & the awful thoughts that go through your head are enough to send your blood pressure souring. It's going to be fine though, it just doesn't seem that way at the moment. Hang in there & stay strong & you'll know what I mean in time.

They have got the right details for 2010-11 due to them finding them, not me telling them. My declared income was different which is why they wrote to me (I gave wrong income on declaration). No they haven't asked for anything else at the moment. When I've looked back through the papers I've found I have discovered my declared income has been different than my actual income for the past 3 declarations (2009, 10 &11).

I think the docs is a good idea. I had some Diazapam at the time & it did help. The doc gave me about 10 pills that's all. Mind still races but I figured it would have been even worse without. You'll just make yourself ill if you don't sleep & stress constantly x

Speaking as a psych nurse the doctor is most certainly priority. Reading all your posts it would seem you have other issues and the tax credits has been the last straw? If you are having thoughts to harm yourself you can also go to your local a&e for help as many areas have an outreach team that work from a&e. You are not alone and once you have help they will also be able to help advocate between you and the tax credit office but your priority must be yourself first

My bro is on those, they're good. I was given them years ago but couldn't take them as I got freaky side affects after 2 days. Very rare though. Hope they make you feel a bit better xx

Oh, what side effects?

 

Not a common one hun, I just had strange burning sensations going through my body & feeling feint. I just found it scarey as it was in the middle of the night. Was told they would pass after a couple of weeks but my kids were real young then & I couldn't face having that for 2 weeks! My bro didn't have side affects, no one that I knew that's had them had any either. So I bet you wont.

I don't think I really needed them though, I had just split from someone & wasn't coping too well, but I don't think I was depressed, & wasn't anxious, was just sad really, which is possibly why I got the side affects, I don't know. I don't think the doc should have given me them though. x
