    • What type of finance is it?   HP, PCP, Loan? They want her to ring so they can bully her into making payments she can't afford...unless she can record her calls then IMHO, I'd keep everything in writing. Is £400 SSP her only income? There's no chance they will justify taking half of that.   Lodge a formal complaint with them ASAP, exhaust it, and then you can escalate it sooner rather than later, ruddy sharks!  
    • Is all of this actually on the signage? Don't remember seeing that much detail on other threads.
    • If I have learnt one thing from this forum, it's not to call and communicate via email. I passed this info on to her and they are pushing for her to call them.    "Unfortunately, you will need to call us. The conversation won’t be so black and white as to therefore type over email. In a nutshell we can confirm that the request to not pay for 3 months we cannot put in place"  I emailed them back on her behalf and said that what ever is discussed over the phone will need to be put in an email so that she can review it properly. No decisions will be made on that phone call.    "Once we speak to you on the phone we will follow up with an email to confirm the options discussed. [Phone number]"   Why are they pushing for a phone call? If its not so black and white, why can they then follow up with an email?  
    • Appreciate input Andy, updated: IN THE ******** County Court Claim No. [***] BETWEEN: LC Asset 2 S.A.R.L CLAIMANT AND [***] DEFENDANT ************ _________________________ ________ WITNESS STATEMENT OF [***] _________________________ ________ I, [***], being the Defendant in this case will state as follows;     I make this Witness Statement in support of my defence in this claim.   1. I understand that the claimant is an Assignee, a buyer of defunct or bad debts, which are bought on mass portfolios at a much-reduced cost to the amount claimed and which the original creditors have already written off as a capital loss and claimed against taxable income as confirmed in the claimant’s witness statement exhibit by way of the Deed of Assignment. As an assignee or creditor as defined in section 189 of the CCA this applies to this new requirement on assignment of rights. This means that when an assignee purchases debts (or otherwise acquires rights under a credit agreement) it also acquires certain obligations to the borrower including the duty to comply with CCA requirements (such as the rules on statements and notices and other post-contractual information). The assignee becomes the creditor under the agreement. This ensures that essential consumer protections under the CCA cannot be circumvented by assigning the debt to a third party. 2. The Claim relates to an alleged Credit Card agreement between the Defendant and Bank of Scotland plc. Save insofar of any admittance it is accepted that the Defendant has had contractual agreements with Bank of Scotland plc in the past, the Defendant is unaware as to what alleged debt the Claimant refers. The Defendant has not entered any contract with the Claimant. 3. The Defendant requested a copy of the CCA on the 24/12/2022 along with the standard fee of £1.00 postal order, to which the defendant received a reply from the Claimant dated 06/02/2023. To this date, the Claimant has failed to disclose a valid agreement and proof as per their claim that this is enforceable, that Default Notice and Notice of Assignment were sent to and received by the Defendant, on which their claim relies. The Claimant is put to strict proof to verify and confirm that the exhibit *** is a true copy of the agreement and are the true Terms and Conditions as issued at the time of inception of the online application and execution of the agreement. 4. Point 3 is noted. The Claimant pleads that a default notice has been served upon the defendant as evidenced by Exhibit [***]. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 5. Point 6 is noted and disputed. The Defendant cannot recall ever having received the notice of assignment as evidenced in the exhibit marked ***. The claimant is put to strict proof to verify the service of the above in accordance with s136 and s196 Law of Property Act 1925. 6. Point 11 is noted and disputed. See 3. 7. Point 12 is noted, the Defendant doesn’t recall receiving contact where documentation is provided as per the Claimants obligations under CCA. In addition, the Claimant pleads letters were sent on dates given, yet those are not the letters evidenced in their exhibits *** 8. Point 13 is noted and denied. Claimant is put to strict proof to prove allegations. 9. The Claimant did not provide a true copy of the CCA in response to the Defendants request of 21/12/2022. The Claimant further claims that the documents are sufficient to pursue a Judgement and are therefore copies of original documents in their possession. Conclusion 10. Without the Claimant providing a valid true copy of the executed Credit agreement that complies with the CCA, the Claimant has no grounds on which to enforce this alleged debt. 11. The Claimant has been unjustly enriched at the expense of the Defendant by purchasing bulk debt at a greatly reduced cost and subrogating for the original creditor in trying to recuperate the full amount of the original debt 12. The Defendant was not given ample evidence to prove the debt and therefore was not required to enter settlement negotiations. Should the debt be proved in the future, the Defendant is willing to enter such negotiations with the Claimant. On receipt of this claim I could not recall the precise details of the agreement or any debt and sought clarity from the claimant by way of a Section 78 request. The Claimant failed to comply. I can only assume as this was due to the Claimant not having any enforceable documentation and issuing a claim in hope of an undefended default judgment.   Statement of Truth I, ********, the Defendant, believe the facts stated within this Witness Statement to be true. I understand that proceedings for contempt of court may be brought against anyone who makes, or causes to be made, a false statement in a document verified by a statement of truth without an honest belief in it’s truth. Signed: _________________________ _______ Dated: _____________________
    • Morning,  I am hoping someone can help, I am posting on behalf of my friend so I will try and provide as much info as possible.  Due health reasons, she is currently not working and unable to pay her contractual car finance payments. She emailed 247 Money and asked for a 3 month payment holiday, they refused this straight away with no reasons as to why. They have told her that instead she can make a payment of £200. She is currently getting £400+ a month ssp so this is not acceptable. She went back to them and explained she cannot make this payment and they have not offered an alternative plan. Its £200 or she falls into default.  She is now panicking as she does not want her car to be taken away. What options does she have?  Thank you,

    • 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.

Dear all,

I am in quite a dilemma right now due to my debts from some time ago, I was to scared and could not face the music of dealing with them, Anyway some advice is very much needed,

 

I still have debts from around 4 years ago now, I have since married a thai lady whom has savings enough to purchase a house with no mortgage, I have really only explained to her that my debts are small , but they are rather more then i have told her. I am a little worried if she buys a home that i will not want to go on the deeds (it is all her money), but is there anyway the lenders can goto her for my debts? She is new to the uk as being my wife was issued the visa but i am so worried she will get the burden of my debts and maybe they will try to take the house away from her due to my debts?.

 

It really is such a dilemma, i am at loss at what to do. Please could someone advise me on my/her position here. I know i buried my head in the sand on my debts but could not face them and it seems my time changed for the better when i met my wife and we now have a young baby, I wonder if she was to get problems would she be able to put the house in our babys name?

 

I really dont want to mention my size of debt as she does not know i am here writing this, i really dont want to worry her or if she should know maybe it could ruin our relationship?

 

Please could anyone give advise as to the legal points of her owning property with me as a debtor as a husband, I had these debts long before i met and married her, also i could not bear to see her find out by the creditors taking her home away because of my uselessness some time ago.

 

Hope to hear from someone who has an idea about this situation.

Many thanks

Not to sure

Welcome to the site.

Hopefully someone should be here soon.

I assume that your wife has an ILR visa ?

Remember-marriage is based on trust,and perhaps you should think about coming clean here-if you do that at least you will be able to deal with anything in the future openly and without hiding them.

Only you can decide whether to be open though-just think how much easier it will make things !!

Hi, the debts are soley yours, only accounts which she actually signed & agreed to be joint & severally liably would they be able to enforce.

However, your right to be concerned about entering into a joint mortgage, were she puts in all the deposit. If they do a land registry search, & see your name on the deeds, they would come after you for half the equity.

You have the courage to post on this site, maybe this is the ideal time to sort out these problems. Instigate a plan to resolve these debts.

 

Good luck

  • 1 year later...

I had a lot of adverse credit back in 2005 but my defaults i guess started in 2006 as thats the date i stopped paying/couldnt pay.

 

I have been hounded for years but in the last 3 years i have kept moving around, i have not heard from any credit agency for some time,

 

Is there a way i can check my credit file without having to give my current address?

 

I am led to believe that if i check my own file/files i would like to check all 3, that there will be a new address updated on the file if i check it using that address,

 

Also i do not know if any of my debts were taken to cc, so i really need to find out without giving my new address away....

 

I had serious problems back in the day and am now over comming them and would ideally like to put the debts behind me and restart,

 

quite a few quid owed on numerous cards and a unsecured loan was not paid as i lost my job and made redundant just as the "boom" finished

 

Any advice welcomed and thanks in advance

If they wanted to find you they would ! Any credit check you do will show most things but if you have not paid or acknowledged in writing in past 6 years they can not be enforced. CCJ's are slightly different but I think they still drop of but can be enforced.....maybe someone can advise

No the credit reference agency will want a debit card to check ID and current address.

Also you can still be pursude for payment of statute barred debt until you advise the

creditor of the status of the debt and state you will not be paying.

Thank you BRIGADIER2JCS,

Is there a way that i could get someone else to check it for me? Any advice there?

 

Or what about if i can use an old address, would that address then be put into the credit ref agency database?

 

I just dont want to make it any easier for the debt collectors as they were very bad years ago

 

, they even called my father, i dont know how they got hold of his ex-dir phone number and tricked him into thinking some thing was wrong thats why they contacted him about myself, Then they sent numerous letters after they knew he would be able to contact me, it went on for a very long time......

 

Also personal reasons i would not like others to know about my debts that are now statue barred,

 

So may i ask should i manage somehow to get the 3 credit ref would it then save the address i use to make the application?

In other words other people an companys would be able to find me from making that credit check?

thanks again

Sorry no you cannot beat the system that way the Data Protection Act

prevents other from accesing your records, up to date residence and

as said ID in the form of a debit card will be needed.

Thanks once again Bigadier2jcs,

you are very quick with your replys! thanks!

 

So i understand that i would need to use address with registered debit card, So you are basically saying that the debt collector types will then get a flag with my new address as i have now given it to the credit ref agencys,

correct?

Thanks

NO the DCAs will not get alerted to the fact you have checked your personal files,

that is a myth.

Ok so the dca will not get wind that i have checked my files but would the c ref agencys not update my address to the new one, basically then allowing anyone to see that new address?

Thanks for your swift replys by the way !

Yes the data will be revised but if any creditor or DCA wanted to find you there are

many easier and cheaper ways than using a CRA.

The CRAs do offer alerts to those taking up some of its services though,I have seen it on their websites.

So for example when one of your debts fall off your file.

My understanding is that DCAs and other parties are alerted when there are changes on the CRFs which could be deemed that your finances have changed etc.

I reported on this some time ago.

It is very disturbing to know that the CRAs are without doubt in Cohorts with the debt collection industry,whichever way you want to look at it.

But this is nothing new to us,we have known for a long time.

To be offering daily alerts to changes on a credit file is staggering.

By virtue of the offering of this service in the first place,it has to be beneficial to both the CRA and the Client.

Yes it is very disturbing especially in my case, I feel as if the "eye " is there waiting for my next move,

How on earth they are allowed to do this is beyond me......

For sure they come out of it ahead otherwise as you say they would not offer it in the first place

Thanks very much

May I just add, that if i was to now check my c ref file, if there was no longer any information there, then i can consider myself a free man ?

the dca may hound me but i can tell them to bog off!

 

My problem is if any have cc judge me then i would then have alerted them to my whereabouts!

It is reasonable to assume that if there is nothing recorded there,then you are less of a target.

Although having said that,there are 3 CRAs and we know that just because there is no adverse entries on one,it does not follow that there will be nothing on the other 2.

Many people think that the CRAs only get data when taking out loans or CCJs,but there is a multitude of other ways in which sharing and processing of data occurs,because there are so many organisations involved in selling it.

 

It could come from giving your telephone number out unsuspectingly,registering for an account with an online goods and service provider,and more ways which to you would appear to be relatively normal transactions.

 

We were told not so long ago about stopping unwanted sms messages by replying with the word stop.

Recently a BBC programme looking into phishing and spamming told of this actually being of use to those buying random lists of mobile numbers.

By sending the stop message,you are effectively informing them that it is a valid in use number-which is of use to them.

They then are able to sell on these numbers with returned stop messages as live and current users.

So you are probably better actually NOT responding with a stop message if you get one of these !!

Just to update , I decided to do the £2 online equifax credit check, i then gave them much information along with debit card number for payment that is registered to my address,

 

Then after a load more nosey parker questions I was unable to log in so i called the number, i was then put through to a call centre in the PHIippines!

A lot of security questions later was then told i needed to send them id proof? what a load of old coblers , they just got as much info as they could, then got me to call them ,

Bloody venus fly trap if you ask me as i am non the wiser as they would not give me any info but got a load of info from me!

 

These people are disgusting and really do not deserve to have any info on anyone, i am fuming and angry they would not give me my details,

Also they took just £1 off my debit card which i think was a fishing tatic to see that the account was live and to get my info from that.

Can anyone tell me a way to find out if i have any CCJ against me as that is all i am worried about, i couldn't care less about the creditors from 6 years past now

Cheers
