    • Oh dear.. Misuse of facility...  Cat 6... No wonder everything is being nuked from high orbit... More in a bit.. 
    • Thank you fkofilee First question: what do I do if Monzo close my account? I need an account but no one will touch me with this marker against me. Is there anywhere/any other option that I have if Monzo close my account? MCB is My Community Bank?  Yes What Category of Marker do you have? This is what it says on the Cifas SAR: Application date: 07 December 2023 Date recorded: 09 April 2024 Expiry date: 09 April 2030 Cifas Case Identifier: 15435315 Product relating to the application, proposal, account or facility: Personal Loan – Unsecured Facility: Granted Case type: Misuse of facility Reason(s) for filing: Evasion of payment Financial Loss Value of Loss: £5000.00 When did you raise the complaint? Last night via email Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan? I can prove that I had to buy a new washing machine, I have my pay slips showing the emergency tax code and a letter from the tax office after I had spoken with them to get it corrected and of course I can get a copy of my vet bill. And all of this was in the first 2-3 months of 2024.  I panicked. Stupid I know and as you say, I have learned the hard way and I am not in any way denying anything that I have done wrong, but it just feels a bit unfair.  It is what it is I guess and if I have to have it on me forever then so be it. I am just so worried about the bank situation 😕    
    • If it is MCB    National Fraud Database Members | Preventing Fraud Losses | Cifas WWW.CIFAS.ORG.UK A range of organisations use the National Fraud Database to share data on confirmed fraud cases, preventing over £1 billion in fraud losses every year.   They are on the register  
    • Hi @LilMissM   I guess you could call me our resident CIFAS Specialist - Personally have been through all of what you have and now have come out the other side when my marker fell off in May 2023. For a start Monzo may close your account but as I had a Marker for App Fraud (Vodafone ended up making a whole hoohah of the account I had with them) - I was with them and still am from Oct 2017 till today. And not once did they close my account. I actually spoke to a couple of current account providers at the time that I had accounts with - Nationwide and Barclays - Told them what was going on and provided all the evidence to them. They advised they may do so but it was highly unlikely now that they understood why it happened and what I was doing to fight it.    Anyway - On to your marker. MCB is My Community Bank?  I can say to you that on experience that On Monday you can be on top of the world then on Tuesday you whole life changes in a flash of an eye. Suddenly you cant pay your bills, Work isnt feasible and you are left with no other choice but to scrape by.  If this has happened to you, then join the club.  - Why is this important? Well Financial institutions get one whiff of potential fraud and you are guilty without a chance to respond. You found out the hard way   If it sounds like I'm waffling, I'm not - Its important to your issue. They have deemed you guilty by the fact that no payments have been made and potentially entered into a loan agreement knowing looking not to pay (Although thats how it may appear, there will always be factors against that)    First off - Questions - What Category of Marker do you have? If unsure, check my signature for a Credit File Guide which will tell you all you need to know about what Categories apply.  - When did you raise the complaint? They will have 8 weeks to respond. More on this in a mo.  - Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan?   My next suggestions, Send this complaint to the CEOs office - CEOEMAIL.COM Let them make the decision as per the Complaint Procedure. Then if they refuse to remove the marker. take it to the FOS who can force the company to remove it if found in favour.  Some companies do need a slap or 2 once in a while to bring them down a peg. You could be looking at this right now.

    • 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.

My wife received a notice of discontinuance from Shoosmiths through the post today, which is good news. Just waiting for the same from Ascent Legal who promised the same. Will keep you posted, and would then appreciate some advice on how to claim costs so that we can get RBS off our backs for good.

Just got this email from Ascent Legal:

 

Dear Madam,

 

We refer to your telephone conversation with this office on 12th September and write to confirm that our file has been placed on hold pending our clients further instructions.

 

We shall revert to you as soon as possible.

 

Yours faithfully

 

Ascent Legal

So we have submitted a defence which has been received at Northampton (Royal Mail tracking) and both Shoosmiths and Ascent Legal have confirmed things are discontinued or on hold - now what?

Check with the court that they have received Shoos NoD with regards to Ascent putting on hold..... this means nothing the claim proceeds.(until they issue a NoD)

Got this email from Ascent Legal: Dear Madam, We refer to your email of 16th September and write to advise that, as yet, we have not received instructions to discontinue the proceedings. However, we can confirm that they have been placed on hold pending our clients instructions. We trust this clarifies the situation and will revert to you as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, Ascent Legal.

Do we still hit Shoosmiths for costs? This could be "on hold" for a very long time and still hanging over us?

I thought they had discontinued?

 

Unless the claim is above 10K no wasted costs in SCT

The previous claim from last year was discontinued and we have the paperwork from the court for that. This latest claim from Ascent Legal is "on hold".

Hi, it's all been quiet for a while but received a letter just before Christmas from Eversheds giving my wife an inc/exp form to offer monthly payments. It also refers to an "open letter" of the date, which we never received. I responded to say the case had already been struck out and that unless they are going to answer the questions the DJ asked them, which they never responded to, I would not communicate further. Eversheds have taken over, not sure under whose authority and I am not sure where Shoosmiths and Ascent now fit into the picture.

 

 

Then we received a notice of transfer of proceedings from Northampton stating: "This claim has been transferred to Brighton County Court as the CCBC Sol is No Longer Acting".

 

 

I am getting tired of repeating the same old stuff to new solicitors or agents that keep on popping up. I don't know who is actually authorised to act for RBS, the case has already been struck out and our defence is exactly the same as before i.e. no valid default notice, violations of Banking Code re: closing our accounts, forcing payments through to create a fee, no overdraft facility papers, etc.

 

 

Your help would be much appreciated again!

Ignore Eversheds dpac and with regards to the transfer that will be for administration purposes only...the claim is struck out.

OK, my wife has just received a General Form of Judgement or Order stating that the case is allocated to fast track and that a list of directions hearing with a time estimate of 30 minutes to deal with the issues raised in the defence and give directions. There is also a Notice of Hearing for 3rd March. Does she really need to go to court to re-iterate what has already been said for a case that has already been struck out and where she is only one of two parties on the loan agreement? Please advise...

In my limited experience, I would say that attending the court would be best. No guarantee that the judge would know about the previously struck out case, and the full details can be properly presented. I would also suggest that you attend too. I had a similar experience, the only difference was that I also had a separate claim issued to me for the same account. I asked the judge, and he agreed, that I could speak for both myself and my wife. Perhaps if you explained to the judge the claim in question is for a joint account, and that you think the claim has been brought in a vexatious (?) manner he might be sympathetic. JMO.Good Luck t.
