    • 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 dx,

 

Well, I sent the cca off and got a letter back acknowledging receipt.

 

Thing is, they say they'll have to get a response from Sainsbury's.

that would indicate to me that they do not own the loan & therefore cannot expect any monies from me.

 

Family visiting at the mo, so can't upload.

 

Got their receipt letter dated 02/08/17, so Tye clock is ticking.

Hi dx,

 

You may remember that I told you that I had sent a CCA request to MDR & had failed to get a response in the statutory time. As a result I had stopped payment into the Abbey accouts they claimed to be managing.

 

Yesterday I got the following email from them, to which I responded as below.

 

Dear MR Blah blah

 

Our system shows that we have not received the latest instalment on your repayment plan. Please call our offices as soon as possible on 0161 475 2887, or contact us via our website http://www.mdrl.co.uk to discuss your account.

 

Alternatively to make a payment using our automated payment line please call 0161 475 2949.

Moorcroft Group.

 

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

You will note that I sent a CCA request to you, and received no response.

 

I therefore stopped payments to the account.

 

You were given the statutory time, 12 +2 days from the request, to respond. You failed to provide me with the details requested, hence payment stopped.

 

Yours attentively,

 

 

 

What do you think I should do now?

I am considering restarting the £5pcm to Abbey so that I can never be accused of not at least trying to address the issues.

Hi dx,

 

Well, as expected, capquest have failed to respond to the cca I sent them.

I have now told them that any and all mail from them will be shredded unopened.

 

I have maintained the payments (£5pcm) to Sainsbury's, as I have to the other creditors.

 

Should I now stop payments to Sainsbury's, as I did to Abbey?

No CCA no pay, STOP all payments, otherwise they will continue mugging you off and laughing at you.

Hi dx & bazooka,

 

Moorcroft have sent me an email, (cos that's the only way I'll contact them), which says they are no longer responsible for the debt and all correspondence has been returned to the OC.

 

Capquest have failed the CCA request, so I'm not conversing with them any more, although that would only be by email as well.

 

I'm going to stop all the payments tomorrow.

I expect I'll get letters, but I'm unsure because the debts are well over 6 years old.

 

I've already stopped the payments to Abbey & heard nothing though.

Hi dx

Thank you for your help. I have stopped Payment to the debt accounts I have.

 

I have, however, been phoned by Robinson Way asking for personal details.

 

I have blocked the number and sent them an email telling them that I will only communicate with them by email, that they are specifically barred from coming to my residence, and that any written communication from them will be shredded unopened.

 

Given that the debts are well over 6 years old, Can I safely ignore them?

Every single time you send a pointless email or letter you dangle a carrot for them.

 

And with a few weeks until Christmas, you put yourself on top of their list, then wonder why they are harassing you demanding money.

Ok ok! So I’m a dummy for responding.

 

I just didn’t want them turning up on my doorstep. Especially since it’s no mine!

 

They got nothing from me though, but I’ll not respond to them ever again.

 

So. Now a 6 year wait!

 

I thought Tempus Fugit. Seems not! Ah well.

 

Hope you’re all well.

They never got the chance to say.

I didn't tell them anything and when they asked for my data, (DoB etc), I told them no and cut the call off.

 

I just don't want to have the embarrassment of having information about my finances blurted out to all & sundry.

Hi,

 

I’ve just had a text from Robinson Way asking me to call them on a freephone No. ive no intention of doing so, but clearly someone wants to increase pressure on me. I guess it’s because they’re commission led and Xmas is coming!

Still, they can’t have what I haven’t got, can they!

 

I’ve got no intention of contacting them anyway.

 

I’ve also had more mail from capquest concerning the loan I had from Sainsbury’s Bank. They failed a cca so they’ll get nowt from me.

Added to that they committed only to contact me by email.

I shredded it as I said I would!

Just as an aside, now I’ve stopped the payments, am I liable to get lots more of this crap?

Well I hit 65 next year, so their chances of getting anything from me are, to say the least, zero.

 

Still, my partner is v sensitive about debt cos one of her children is in so much debt.

 

My concern therefore, while I have been at pains to keep this under wraps, is that if she is bothered by or sees mail from dca’s, she’ll have a less than satisfactory view of my abilities to manage my finances. Puts me in the same light as her, estranged, child.

 

Not a scenario I particularly relish.

 

So what I really need to know, is how much written diarrhoea I’m liable to get in the near future.

Incidentally, I’m just managing at the moment. Still looking for work too!

Hi Dx

 

I’m sure you’re right, it’s just a pain having to use subterfuge with someone I care deeply about.

 

I’ve got a few premium bonds. Just a few. Lets hope they come up!

 

I could do with getting this out of the way.

 

Just a thought, but now I’ve stopped paying, and since I’ll be 65 next year, is there any chance I’ll get taken to Court?

Hi dx,

 

I've stopped paying and I have got a letter from wescot.

 

It's for a Santander debt of some £3200.

 

Is it likely that Santander will go to court to recover the funds?

 

Come to that, are any of the others likely to, since I'm ignoring letters from collectors?

 

Also, how does the new GDPR alter the way my creditors use my data?

 

Is it possible that they can't give my data to the dca's?

 

In August I will be 65 and have little or no income to speak of, other than the pension, which is all swallowed up in accommodation and bills.

 

My car is 20 years old, and I have no other real assets.
