    • 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.

Hi There

About a month ago I received a copy of my credit file from Experian via a free trial. I got into financial difficulties in 2005 and defaulted on various debts. None of those were listed on my credit file even though I paid all debts in full by late 2009 and I also finished paying a Barclay loan in December 2012.

 

Today I have just checked my file and have been shocked as information has been added to my file with regards to some of these debts. My main issue is with the Barclayloan which is showing up as still being in default from 2011 even though I have paid this debt in full. I spoke to Experian with regards to this and they are saying because Barclays logged the account as being in default in 2011 this will stay on my file for the next 6 years. I explained to Experian that I have a copy of my original default notice, dating back to December 2005 and Experian are saying that you cannot have more than 1 default notice for one debt and that I need to get this corrected. I am currently at the beginning of a mortgage process so what do I do? Tried to call Barclays this morning and getting fobbed off.

I also have an entry from CL finance who I paid in full in 2009 but is saying that I've made 6 late payments in the last 6 months.

Any info greatly recieved as I'm in a blind panic.

Just to add, I have just opened my post and found a cheque from Barclays for just over £3000 for a PPI claim. I can't believe it. I find they've trashed my credit file with incorrect information on the same day I've recieved money from them. You just couldn't make this up.

 

Write to the data controller at Barclay's.

Give them 28 days to rectify. If they don't then issue a complaint with the ICO

Thanks for advice Stan. I need them to rectify in less than 28 days because of my mortgage application. Doubt it will happend though. Do you know if there are any templates on data correction I could use as a guide? And would I also need to ask Experian to put a note on my file to say it is being disputed?

Hi there

At the beginning of the week I checked my credit file and it was scoring at excellent, today I checked as I am about to enter into a mortgage process and it seems to have changed overnight to "fair".

 

Upon checking my file I noticed that I have a default registered against me from Barclays in 2011. This account has now been paid in full but is still showing in red as a default. I also have a letter dated from them in December 2005 saying my account was in default and that I would be sent a default notice if I hadn't recieved it already.

 

I'm checking paperwork to see if I can find the actual default itself but do I have a case to write to Barclays asking them to correct it? If so this means the default will drop off by now hence improving my mortgage chances.

Thanks for any advice.

The Default should only stay 6 years from the first placement. So it should have dropped off by 2012 if they placed it in 2005.

 

Yes, perhaps write to the creditor and find out what is going on.

 

If they mentioned in 2005 that they were going to place the default marker then they had to do this within 6 months.. not nearly 6 years later !!

The CL finance entry will be remove in 2015 it makes no difference to the default status even if you have paid the debt off.

A couple of points 1, Because a default notice was issued in 2005 does not necessarily mean that a default was actually place at that time.

 

 

The Barclays account, there is no point in telephoning them, you need to write to their Data Controller and query the entry send a screen print of the file entries.

 

ALL default entries are removed on the 6th anniversary of the default date, but paying the debt off does not get the entry removed until that anniversary.

The CL Finance is not registering as a default but a delinquent account. From what I can understand is that they are saying that account was 6 months in arrears for 3 years but I entered a DMP in 2005 and payments were made to them every month without fail. I always made sure those payments were made at the expense of others. I have other accounts on my credit file that were also paid for via the DMP and non of those are showing late or non payment, everything else is clear. It also says that it will stay on my account from the time it was settled which is Jan 2010. I understand the logic of the default being on the credit for file for 6 years but not what exactly a delinquent account is and what it means. Is it worth asking CL Finance for an SAR?

Hi Any payments to a delinquent account that are not the required monthly payments can either result in a default or as in seems in your case reported as a delinquent account ie late/missed or varied payments from the original agreement.

 

The maintenance of payments through a DMP don't have any effect on the previous conduct of the account.

Cl will have only the absolute minimum of details just from the date they acquired the account but a SAR may

turn up something.

When you say required payments, do you mean the amount agreed with CL Finance? I was paying them £16.30 through payplan and I have just managed to find a few statements dated from 2007. I have September's, then I am missing October and November but on December it has a charge of £25.00 which must be some sort of late payment fee. I also still have bank statements from 2007 so I just checked them to see if there was any possibility that the direct debit to payplan was not made but it was. I hope that this is not the reason why my account is being marked up as always being 6 months in arrears because it certainly wasn't and I also have proof that this account was always paid every month either. I'm not denying I got myself into trouble through stupid actions but I paid back every penny and I feel that there are incorrect entries on my file that have affected my credit rating just as I'm in the process of applying for a mortgage. What is the process if you feel a DCA or bank has put incorrect info on your credit file?

Really appreciative of all the info given, you can imagine I'm not a happy bunny right now!!

''Required Payments'' those that were required by the original agreement, the payplan and any other payments to an account that are kept up at the agreed level do not rectify the ''delinquency '' of an account.

 

An example that comes up often on the forums is '' someone has defaulted on an account, and does not remedy the default in line with the time scale given on the default notice (usually 14 day) this is reported on credit file, the person then either makes a ''payment arrangement'' with the creditor or a DCA and keeps this payment up without fail, we then see that this person has checked credit file and is dismayed to find the account is still reported as a ''default' which is of course correct, as the ''default was not remedied in accordance with the default notice''.

 

It is the same with late/missed payments what ever payments are made AFTER this point do not change the status of the account.

Because a default notice was issued in 2005 does not necessarily mean that a default was actually place at that time.

 

How would they be able to send me a default notice in 2005 then add it on my credit file in 2011? I can only find a letter telling me in 2005 that my loan account is in default etc but I dont have proof of the notice even though I have found the default notice for the bank account and the credit card I had with Barclays which are all dated on the same day.

 

Are there any templates I can use to send a letter to Barclays. I'm assuming I need to send it to the Data Controller as opposed to the customer complaints address in Leicester? If I cannot find the default notice I will send the letter of threat and see what I can do from there.

I wonder if this had already dropped of as the org default was over 6yrs old

 

if this is the case

 

then they CANNOT reserect the account on the cra file

once its defaulted and dropped off - its gone.

A default notice is an advice that a default may/will be placed if the default is not remedied it is not in its self a default just information as to what may happen if the situation is not remedied.

I'm guessing maybe that no default was actually recorded in 2005.

 

DNs are not stored as hard copy a note that a DN was sent on a specific date is made on the customers account records.

A SAR to Barclays may be the answer.

I already have an SAR from them that I requested in 2010. I can find default notices for my bank account and barclaycard but only a letter saying my loan account is in default and I will be receiving the notice shortly if I haven't already. Do you think it is worth me challenging it? I really have no idea why my account was put into default in 2011 and it's really annoyed me. Since 2005 I have worked hard to sort out my debts and they have taken me 5 years to satisfy. I'm almost beginning to think I shouldn't have bothered if there is no distinction between satisfied and unsatisfied debts on my credit file.

Ok. I have looked at the exact default date which is registering as 17th August 2011. I have also gone through all my bank statements from 2011. In December 2010 I made a payment to Barclays twice. I believe I probably did this because I forgot that I had already made the payment. This extra payment should have put my payment obligations in "credit" so to speak.

 

I made a payment to Barclays on 23rd March and then another on May 3rd 2011 so I missed a payment in April. I now remember that I was abroad for 2 weeks for the last 2 weeks of April. Even with this missed payment, I still made 12 payments in the year of 2011 and made two extra in December 2010 so I cannot see how this account was in default. I believe that my account was in default in 2005 (which I will admit it was) and even though I have a letter of threat that my account was going into default status I cannot find it.

It will have been defaulted because of erratic payments I think.

Well I have finally sent a letter off to Barclays with regards to the default. Let's see how I get on there. I'm wondering on whether to tackle the CL Finance delinquency. I have to admit I'm a bit confused exactly what delinquency means even tho Brig has done their best to explain.

What is the point of it?

Why not just default the account?

Been looking online to try and educate myself but there doesn't seem to be much info on it.

 

I notice the delinquency date on my credit file is the same day that I settled the account. Is that right?

Delinquent debts those that are not being paid on time, or payments are erratic or ceased

The term ''date last delinquent'' often used bon CRA files indicates the date when a payment

was due and not made after which no further payment was ever made ie the date from which

the 6 year statute barred clock starts.

As to the last point exactly what shows on the file?
