    • If a DCA supplies a reconstituted copy of the CCA what would be the next step. It seems that a reconstituted copy must be a " true copy " of the executed agreement, it must contain the Prescribed Terms. But given that there is no copy of the applicants signature surely it could be an agreement form with the details filled in. How can it be assumed that this " copy " represents a true copy that the claimant has supposed to have signed. Cabot have demonstrated a bit of sabre rattling when they say "Until we're able to provide this information , your account is unenforceable. This means we're not permitted to obtain a County Court judgement against you . Whilst we cannot pursue legal action, your balance remains outstanding ". I looked up a case... Cabot UK Ltd  v  Bachellier (2010) which might help, but it's tough reading, I'd prefer to plough through War and Peace. This particular case with Cabot is not huge , approx' £140, but the only other worry that I have is also with Cabot...£2100. They may try to make a point with lesser case.

    • 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.

Hello,

 

 

after being declined for a mortgage for using payday loans,

 

 

i am on a mission to improve my credit.

 

 

I applied for a credit card with my bank which is Bank of Ireland.

I was declined, I

 

 

have yet to receive the letter which explains why,

 

 

however i checked Equifax which they use and i can't see anything untoward,

obviously i know they will interpret this data differently,

 

 

I checked a credit card eligibility checker on another site and it says that the card i have a 90% chance of getting is the aqua card.

 

 

My main concern is as i have a history of payday loans and sub prime lenders will they look at me using this credit builder card negatively,

 

 

i have taken out a finance agreement for an engagement ring, so i don know whether to sit tight for a bit?

I would sit tight. Also take into count that there are 2 other CRAs... Callcredit and Experian...

Why not look at them? Most companies use 2 or even all 3?

 

Come back to us when youve checked Noddle which is free...

 

We could do with some help from you.

taking out these 'credit rebuilding' cards to show you can 'manage' credit is a myth.

the ring finance will do that

 

the very fact you show as having PDL, sadly, at present,

appears to be the industry 'norm' to refuse you.

 

 

until/unless that changes

whilst those PDL's show

you are stuffed.

 

 

give it a year and things might change.

The Aqua Credit Card has a representative 35.9%APR.

 

This will not help you rebuild your credit, only put you back into debt from where you worked hard to get out of.

 

Are you on the electoral roll?

Keeping a positive balance every month in your Bank Account?

Making sure that no-one is financially linked to you on your Credit report?

 

Does the finance agreement show on your credit files? If so it will show that you are responsible and will improve slowly.

 

You need to look around for mortgages who accept those with sub-prime lending credit history, they are around but expect to either be hammered on the interest rate or the fee.

NEVER telephone a DCA

Well pay off each statement in full and you won't have to pay any interest at all. It will help create a reliable repayment history which shows that you can manage credit sensibly - there is not myth about it.

I would be paying it each month by direct debit in full, the only reason I had the pay day loans in the past was to show a reliable payment history, then as soon as it was banded around that mortgage companies and other financial institutions were refusing people who had them I stopped! So I'm just trying to build up credit with the "conventional" methods. I'm hoping that by the time we come round to looking for a mortgage, the fact the payday loans are over 2 years old will help. At the minute all I can do is wait for the letter from my bank to see why I was declined just incase it's something I'm unaware of, but having check all my files there is nothing unrecognised, and all accounts and PDL **** are settled and paid on time!

I have PDL's on my credit report from about 3 years ago, each one was for a small amount over a short time to enable me to avoid more expensive bank charges which were due to be applied to my account.

I paid them all off when I said I would avoiding any excess charges or any charges on my bank account.

 

I did not think I would have much chance getting any credit cards but wanted like you to re build my credit rating.

 

Applied for a Capital one card, was accepted and given a £200 limit.

Set up a Direct Debit to pay the minimum each month but paid off as much as I could, not always paying the whole balance but almost.

 

After using the card for 7 months my limit was increased to £450, again I used the card keeping within this limit.

After 11 months my limit went up to the level it is now £1,450.

 

At the same time I applied for and was given a Barclaycard with a limit of £400, used the card keeping within the limit again with a Direct Debit set up paying minimum amount.

After 10 months the limit was increased to £800, used the card for a further 9 months and the limit has just been increased to £2,400.

 

My own Bank Account is with Santander and they offered me a Credit Card with a £1,400 limit.

 

PDL,s on your credit file are very bad news but it's still possible to build your credit rating, I've still a few years to get shot of mine from my report but am doing all I can to avoid ever taking one out again.

 

I've also had a couple of Credit Union loans over the past few years which without doubt are a much better way to borrow without getting hit with massive interest charges.

Any advice I give is honest and in good faith.:)

If in doubt, you should seek the opinion of a Qualified Professional.

Lenders look for defaults on your payments, it does not matter if they are paid off, statute barred or satisfied. The defaults part shows which months you have not paid.

If you have missed payments this will be the problem. Check for County Court Judgements, previous address's, name links, defaults and notices of correction. Also check closed accounts and defaults on the monthly payments.

 

Banks work off a 2 credit check process's. The first is external, Experian, Call Credit and Equifax. Then they use an internal credit score between 1-9 usually. 1-3 Excellent 4-6 Good, 7-9 Bad. Ask your bank which one you are in. If you have missed payments, unauthorised overdrafts etc..the score will be negative and gets reviewed every 3-6 months.

 

If you want some help removing the defaults or you have any other questions about the process please just ask

Well I have a default from wonga which I was going to try and get removed,

because long story short I had taken out a loan and after a period of the debt and I terest increasing as I paid off each month then borrowed again,

 

 

the spiral became too much when the last loan I got with them plus their interest added up to more than my salary,

 

 

I contacted them and aske for a payment arrangement and was told they wouldn't do anything until I couldn't pay at the end of the month,

 

 

I was never actually told or served with a default arranged a payment plan paid it off

and that was that until I noticed the default, wondering if there is any way to get this removed?

Wonga offer a service to wipe off debts of certain Debt Collection Agency's contacted you as they were threatening customers. Check that first. Yes you can remove defaults, however, you need to plan it very carefully. The only person who removes defaults is senior management or compliance officers in relation/complaint departments. You can contest it with the CRA also. Could you list the companies who you defaulted with and who the Data Controllers for the defaults are? I will give you the names and contact details for the people you need to address them too.

 

Wonga are literally on the verge of closure so you will not struggle too much. If it stayed with Wonga and did not to go to a DCA and you expressed your financial hardship they acted illegally by further lending and you will not have to pay it.

Hi, it was in 2013 and the only company I defaulted with was wonga,

 

 

I had a similar situation with payday UK asked for payment plan and was told the same,

 

 

I set up payment plans with and they were paid off over a year ago.

 

 

Payday UK registered a late payment but not a default.

 

 

It never went to debt collection it all stayed with PDL companies.

Thanks for that information. They will of had a period where the CRA showed the debts as partially satisfied. That however would not be enough to damage your credit to stop you obtaining more. Was there any particular reason you used PDL instead of an overdraft or a loan from your bank? I would consider checking Noddle if you have a debit card. It is a free service with a monthly update of your credit report provided by Call Credit.

 

When you have signed up look at the section called financial history and expand all fields. Anything in red is missed. Check open accounts, closed accounts, CCJ's, address history and notices of correction.

My goal at the minute is to try and have these loans taken off my credit report as I have my finance on the ring

I know that with that I am showing decent credit and in a few months will try again with my bank,

dependent on the reasons I was declined naturally,

they did say I can appeal the decision,

but I know they are not obliged to offer credit and but if it was for something unfair or that is in accurate then I will look at it then.
