    • 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.

Hi Not very good with things like this so will try my best not to rabble on! Am in desperate needofadvice please.

 

In 2005 took out a mortgage and unsecured loan with my ex ( we have 3 children together), I used a gift of £140000 as deposit, this was from my step father to help me on the property ladder.

 

In 2005 we split up, he walked out on me and the children. I went to csa around 2 yrs ago now as I was worried he wouldnt pay for the children, I have been paying the mortgage on my own. I have struggled so much its unbelieable.

 

I fell pregnant ( not my ex) last yr and have been on mat leave since april I am now struggling to pay the mortgage. I am single with 4 children.

 

The house was on the market to be sold up untill last year but i only had 5 viewings in something like 2 years so i took it off the market intending toput it on with another estate agents straight away, but i fell pregnant, i was working around 50hours a week and looking after the other 3 children alone, and i just didnt get round to doing it.

 

The mortgage is in my name and my ex's name

The house is in negative equity

He is demanding i take his name off ( he has since remarried acouple of weeks ago)

he is texting me today saying that since he hasnt paid for the mortgage for 4 years now he should be taken off.

Im worried that I will be landed with all the debt from the house.

I am worried he has been taking out loans etc against the house ( i wouldnt put it past him to forge my signature)

 

I havent got a clue what to do, im thinking of asking the local council about the mortgage rescue scheme.

 

please can someone give any advice.

 

thank you

I would suggest that you speak to Shelter and get some advice from them as top what your options are. Good luck. You seem to have been struggling for such a long time. It must be very difficult for you.

Are you in arrears on your mortgage? Mortgage Rescue tends to only 'come to the rescue' when things have got dire and you are facing possession. But that doesn't meant that you should not contact the local authority to see what other assistance they can offer you.

 

The mortgagee is unlikely to allow your ex to take his name off the mortgage, particularly if there are difficulties, as it is easier for them to have two people to share the burden of the debt (to chase if necessary). They may be prepared to take him off if your income sufficiently supports the mortgage however, and if you've been paying for four years that might be the case. You can check whether there are any other charges secured on the property by obtaining that information from the land registry - you will pay a fee of £4. If there are any charges that you do not recognise and that are nothing to do with you, then you will need to see a solicitor as what you will want to do is ensure that you do not have to repay any loan that you were not party to.

 

If you do sell the property, then your £140k gifted by your step-father, should be returned to you IF there is sufficient equity in the property.

 

Remember that your ex is still financially responsible for the children, and for providing a roof over their heads - has the CSA worked out payments for him?

 

Do you still want to sell the house? What is the best outcome that you are looking for?

Hi thanks for your reply.i am not yet in Arrears but will be after this month.i have an appointment with a solicitor on tues to see what they say.do you know where i can get the information on the land registry please? my ex knows full well that we are probably going to end up owing alot of money that is why he is so desperate to take his name off and leave it all to me.he does not know that i am now struggling to pay the mortgage but i think he must have guessed.

the csa have worked out payments for 2 of his 3 children the other child has left education so i no longer get anything for her.

to be honest the best result would be for me to somehow quickly sell the house and resolve issues that way.i don't particulary want to stay in the house as its in quite bad condition and i seriously think its dangerous for me and the children to live in.

You can get info on the land registry here: http://www.landregistry.gov.uk/

 

If you feel that selling is the best option for you, then you should pursue that course of action. If you are going to default on the mortgage next month, I strongly suggest that you contact the mortgagee now and explain your situation to them (preferably in writing). If you are not already on interest only, they can consider that as an option - they can also consider a payment holiday for you until you are back in full time work; they will also appreciate the fact that you have contacted them before the problems arise and will hopefully do their best to assist you.

 

If you write to them, don't forget to mention that you would like them to show you some forbearance in your time of need. That is part of the pre-action protocols, so they will be familiar with the term.

 

You have an advantage over many people - you are asking for help before you get into trouble, so there is a strong likelihood that you will not end up in court for possession proceedings.

Hi Please could someone scan over this letter I am going to send the mortgage company to explain my hardship. I have used a template but filled in my relevant info. any feeback would be gratefully recieved before I post tomorrow. many thanks.

 

To Whom It May Concern:

 

I am writing this letter to explain my unfortunate set of circumstances that is causing me to become delinquent on my mortgage. I have done everything in my power to make ends meet but unfortunately I have fallen short and would like you to consider working with me to modify my loan. My number one goal is to keep my home and I would really appreciate the opportunity to do that.

 

The main reason that caused me to be late is that I am currently on maternity leave and my income is not nearly enough, I fear I am going to fall further and further behind. Now, it’s to the point where I cannot afford to pay It is my full intention to pay what I owe. But at this time I have exhausted all of my income and resources so I am turning to you for help.

 

Since July 2008 I have managed with mortgage payments on my own, and have not missed a payment up untill now I have worked full time as well as look after 3 children single handedly,Mr J **** walked out on me and his children in july 2008 and has not contributed towards the mortgage whatso ever since.

 

I am currently seeking help from the Mortgage rescue scheme, as I feel that my situation will continue untill at least March next year when my maternity leave ends, and fear I will fall further and further behind, without help.

 

I truly hope that you show some forbearance in my time of need and help me out in my unfortunate circumstances at this time.

 

Sincerely and Respectfully,

Dear Sir/Madam (it would be preferable if you could phone them and ask for a named person to send it to)

 

I am writing to you in advance of potential issues with my mortgage payments. I have done everything that I can to ensure I can meet my mortgage commitment, however circumstances have meant that difficulties have arisen which have been unavoidable.

 

I am currently on maternity leave and will be until March 2013, so my income is less than it would normally be, but will rise again come March 2013. In the interim I am asking you to make some concessions which would enable me to continue to meet my obligations. As you are aware, this mortgage is a joint one with Mr J ______. Unfortunately our relationship ended in July 2008 and he has not made a contribution to the mortgage since that time. I have managed to pay it by myself and, as you will already be aware, have not missed a payment until now. I do hope that this will show as a positive in my favour. This is not a case of 'can pay, won't pay' - I am genuinely having financial difficulties, albeit temporary ones.

 

I have made enquiries with regards to the Mortgage Rescue Scheme and the Mortgage Protection Fund, which may be able to assist me during my time of need. I await responses from the department at the local authority that deals with these matters.

 

In the interim, and in case MRS cannot help, could you please make some suggestions as to what you are able to offer me during this time? I understand that the pre-action protocols suggest forbearance, and would ask that you consider any available options open to me, including interest only for a period of time, reduced payments for a period of time (I reiterate I will be back in full time work in March 2013), or a payment holiday. I have enclosed an income and expenditure form so that you can see the amount I have available.

 

I look forward to receiving your response.

 

Yours faithfully (if you use Sir/Madam) or Yours sincerely (if you find out a named person to send it to).

 

 

You will need to complete an income and expenditure form (top of the repossession forum is a sticky thread by Ell-enn which includes one that calculates as you fill it in).
