    • 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.

You now complain about that text to the OFT and the FOS and Trading Standards

 

They CANNOT charge you as if you still have the loan, that is wrong, the original term has ended and any charges now shoul theoretically be at 8% per annum statutory interest.

 

They are having a laugh pretending they are 'fully compliant' when they are not. Goodness knows what T&CS they provided to the OFT to get a licence - certainly NOT the ones they are operating under.

Have you written to them with a repayment proposal yet?

 

Reading back I notice you are in receipt of benefits. If you haven't, i would reply in writing, stating that you are in receipt of benefits, in financial hardship and are therefore only in a position to pay £1pcm. Finish the letter by stating you will ONLY deal with this matter in writing.

 

You will get two responses.

 

1. It will be either ignored/rejected, in which case you just write again with the same offer.

2. They will consider your proposals but only on the basis that you supply them with your debit card information to set up the payments. NEVER do this. They'll just take whatever they want. ONLY ever use a standing order, or pre-loaded credit card.

 

Although nothing at all will happen if you ignored them, i think it's worth making a token offer of repayment, because in the hugely unlikely event of them taking you to court, you will be able to show that you were willing to tackle the debt, and they will have to explain the farcical fantasy land charges.

 

If they continue to text and phone, send them the telephone harassment template. There's one in the Templates library here, which quotes the relevant legislation. The law is there to protect you, so use against these clowns.

 

Other than this, I think the only other weapon up their sleeve is a letter which will threaten you with Police action as you have "fraudently taken out a loan" or something. Don't be intimidated in the slightest by it. It's verging on the comical.

 

Lastly, copy EVERY bit of correspondence to the OFT/FOS. You may also want to involve Stella Creasey MP who is apparently working on proposals to deal with these crooks.

Being Dormant doesn't mean they are not trading, it usually means that they are in some kind of changeover so it might be worth checking Companies House for any name change again.

 

Marshall Hoares may have registered bailiffs but these bailiffs are powerless when collecting common commercial debt, which is what a payday loan is. The bailiffs cannot use their bailiff powers unless a court order has been breached.

 

That message and any others you get (sounds like their standard countdown message) MUST go to the OFT.

its curious how you received the following breakdown

 

You currently owe:

 

Loan and interestlink3.gif GBP196

Cash Transmission Fee GBP 5

Missed Payment Fee 1 (day 29) GBP 10

Solicitors - Case Prepar ation GBP 150

Missed Payment Fee 2 (day 43) GBP 10

NDR Accept Case File GBP 200

 

Repayments todate GBP0

Total GBP 571

 

 

 

i likewise received this breakdown in the last few days. However i have made an extension payment of £48, i made a payment of £40 to avoid the extra charges and a token payment of £10 towards this balance yet they are still demanding the amount of £571 from me also. Seems a set amount they try to attain. you can see the issues im having in my thread i posted today giving me a nervous breakdown.

£10 missed fee is classed as a penalty fee and is reclaimable.

 

Solicitors case preperation is classed as an unfair charge and is reclaimable. Same with NDR case file crap.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

You are falling into their trap by worrying about it. They simply add on whatever charges they like and the uneducated debtors think that the fee's etc are legit. The educated people, such as people who visit sites like CAG, know they are fraudulant and thats why we advise people to ignore them and not give them a second thought.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
