    • Thanks dx, with link having multiple accounts for me, I didn’t want to be a pushover in the first one ideally.. hearing is 3rd June, WS’s to be exchanged by 6th may 
    • he may be using a different name but cars and vans/vans and cars it’s all the same Gerard Bird/Gerry Bird/G Bird aka Gurdip Singh Virdi He is still doing the same thing, operating from the same premises at 101a Longford, I’m guessing during Covid they got the great idea to rip people off remotely and charge people for the pleasure. they now deliver cars that are shocking quality and refuse to even accept the issues you find. Then Gaslight you into thinking your the problem and call you an idiot for buying a used car instead of a new one. Buyers beware this thread is vitally important

    • 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?

    • 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.

My sister took out an IVA a while back with a company called KINGSTON DEBT SOLUTIONS

 

 

they contacted her

she told me about it the other day (first time I heard about it) and

 

 

I am a bit sceptical about what they have been up to.

 

 

Hence email to CAG which is an amazing forum and has helped save thousands over the years.

 

1) They applied for a PPI refund with some of her credit cards but did not inform her or give her the refund, they kept it all.

Is this usual practice for IVA's and if they did keep it surely it would go towards paying her debts.

 

2) They have never sent her a breakdown of where her monthly payments are going -again is that normal practice.

 

3) She seems to think that she should be finished paying it up

they are insisting that she has not

but again have not provide statements etc

so can she withhold payment until they do so?

 

It all sounds a bit dodgy to me so

 

 

please please please some advice as she does not know what to do and

 

 

 

 

if she had come to me earlier I could've helped a bit more and

 

 

also told her to use this forum as it would've saved her a lot of time and money.

Thanks in advance

Sharon

we have seen some of these companies 'claim' they do an IVa but infact do not.

 

 

they just do all the PPI reclaims and pocket the money

and all IVA payments.

 

an IVA can last for 5yrs max

 

yes it is correct that any reclaims should go off the IVA balance.

 

if they have sent no statements

 

I would get an sar off to them ASAP.

 

 

what does here credit file say?

 

 

when did she sign up with them.?

Hi

- she does not know how to have a look at her credit file so will show her as I think that should give us an idea of what is going on.

 

 

She is bringing me her file so will have a look see what she has and has not got.

 

 

I also think a SAR is in order.

 

 

Is there a different one for IVA companies.

 

 

If they have been dodgy is there anyway we can get it sorted beside sending details to FOS or Trading Standards.

 

 

She has received a letter from them recently after insisting that they write to her as I think see feels very intimidated when they speak over the phone.

 

 

One staff member told her the debt was like going into a grocery store filling up your trolley and then walking out without paying!!!

std sar is ok.

 

 

you can get moneyback

 

 

but obv you need the info fist via sar.

 

 

TBH its not sounding good

 

 

a debt management company should help you

not make you feel like a criminal or intimidated by them and their staff.

 

 

there avery good recent thread about one of them and a success story too there and horror stories too here sadly.
