    • Hello, been a while since I posted on here, really hoping for the same support an advice I received last time :-) Long, long story for us, but basically through bad choices, bad luck and bad advice ended up in an IVA in 2016. The accounts involved all defaulted, to be expected. In 2018, I got contacted by an 'independent advisor' advising me that I shouldn't be in an IVA, that it wasn't the solution for our circumstances and that they would guide us through the process of leaving the IVA and finding a better solution. I feel very stupid for taking this persons advice, and feel they prey on vulnerable people for their own financial gain (it ended with us paying our IVA monthly contribution to them)-long and short of it our IVA failed in 2018. At the same time the IVA failed we also had our shared ownership property voluntarily repossessed (to say this was an incredibly stressful time would be an understatement!) When we moved to our new (rented) property in August 2018, I was aware that creditors would start contacting us from the IVA failure. I got advice from another help website and started sending off SARs and CCAs request letters. I was advised not to bury my head and update our address etc and tackle each company as they came along. Initially there was quite a lot of correspondence, and I still get a daily missed call from PRA group (and the occasional letter from them), but not much else. However, yesterday i had a letter through from Lowell (and one from Capital One) advising that they had bought my debt and would like to speak with me regarding the account. There will be several.of these through our door i suspect, as we did have several accounts with Capital One. Capital One have written to us with regular statements over the last 5 years, and my last communication with them was to advise of of our new address (June 2019), I also note that all of these accounts received a small payment in Jan2019 (i'm assuming the funds from the failed IVA pot). Really sorry for the long long post, but just thought id give (some of) the background for context.... I guess my question at the moment is.....how do I respond to Lowell...do I wait for the inevitable other letters to arrive then deal with them all together or individually...? Do I send them a CCA?  Many thanks

    • 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.

Good job we clariffied - I would have been :!: had they not made you pay the remaining £300.

 

At least they are prompt in replying and will freeze all interest/charges. Any idea what you might do now? I still think the token payment is rather steep since it is meant to be on your terms and if it were me I'd offer no more than £50. If you are able to afford it, I'd be inclined to take up their offer because at least you will have made a start at repaying it back.

 

 

I'm going to do a basic budget and expenditure list over the weekend. Like you say, I need it to be on my terms that I know I can afford and not risk defaulting on any agreement. Like you, I agree that what they have proposed is very reasonable. I'll keep this thread updated next week with replies from the other PDLs.

Use http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/pdf/personal-budget-sheet/your-personal-budget-sheet.pdf to work out your I&E. Don't give it to anyone.

 

Use http://www.nationaldebtline.co.uk/england_wales/pdf/personal-budget-sheet/budget-summary-for-creditors.pdf to give to your creditors. If they try to ask for any other information, tell them to go tale a long walk off a short pier.

 

That summary is a valid legal document. If the two forms are good enough for a court, they are DEFINITELY good enough for a low rate backstreet PDL.

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..

Are you taking up the offer from Mr Lender or making your own amended offer?

 

I'm making my own offer, I cannot afford the one off payment, and feel it needs to be the same across the board, with no creditor getting any priority. At the end of the day, these aren't my priority debts, therefore I will pay them what I know I can afford.

Well, a few weeks down the line and all but one have agreed to my repayment plan. PayDayUk or PDUK, whatever they want to call themselves, would not agree to my repayment offer and should I not make the full payment of the loan by the 4th September, then they are taking me to court .... I've told them I'll see them there!! They wanted me to either pay it all in one go, or, in 2 payments of over £200 a month .. plus I only spoke once to them on the phone and the guy tried to bully me into paying... bless him, suffice to say I threatened them with OFT...that may be why they decided to take me to court :-)I can send the email they sent me should anyone want to see it.Quick question, of all the other pdl companies I have set up a plan with, when I come to making the monthly payments I have their account details, am I best paying through my online account? Is there anyway they could get my account details and try to take more? Whats the best way of setting it up?Thanks guys.

Heh. Wonder if they know if they take you to court, the judge will 99% side with you. Especially since the PDL seems to think that the courts can be used as a first line of debt collection.

 

Only pay by standing order or prepaid credit card. They want your debit details so they can take money as and when they feel like. If you use a prepaid card, do not tell them it is prepaid. They will flat out refuse to process it because they know they wont be able to get money as and when they want.

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..
