    • 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 guys,

 

Just quick update on this,

 

 

I have received nothing from Lowell and only the letter posted previously by Carter.

 

 

So from what I can establish from reading other threads it's time to prepare my defence.

Would it be better to submit this right on the end date or sooner?

 

Also I am not sure if it matters but when looking on my Noddle report the account number is different from the one quoted on here.

 

Thanks for all your help

Hi folks,

 

I have put this together editing previous defences from the site. Can you let you know what you think please.

 

POC

 

1.the claimants claim is for the sum of 1869.27 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant

under an agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1974 between the defendant and vanquis under account reference xxxxxxx

and assigned to the claimant on 05/09/2014, notice of which has been given to the defendant.

 

2.the defendant failed to maintain contractual repayment under the terms of the agreement

and a default notice has not been complied with.

 

and the claimant claims 1897.27

 

the claimant also claims statutory interest pursuant to s.69 of the county act 1984

at a rate of 8% per annum from the date o assignment of the agreement to date

but limited to a maximum of one year and a maximum of 1000 amounting to 145.44

 

Defence

 

1. The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are vague and generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made.

 

2. Paragraph 1 is denied with regards to an amount due under an agreement.The Claimant/Solicitor has failed to disclose any agreement/s or statements on which its claim relies upon. I am unaware of any legal assignment the claimant refers to within its particulars and deny any Notice was served pursuant to the Law of Property Act 1925.

 

3. Paragraph 2 is denied with regards to the Claimant serving a default notice in connection with the alleged contractual Agreement.

 

On receipt of this claim I requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CPR 31.14. I have received a letter acknowledging my request. To date I have yet to receive the documentation requested. This was posted on the 01.09.2015.

 

I also requested a copy of the agreement that this claim relies upon by way of a Section 78 request. I have received a letter acknowledging my request. To date they have failed to supply the documents and remain in default. This was posted on the 01.09.2015.

 

Therefore with the courts permission the Claimant is put to strict proof to:

 

(a)Show and disclose how the Defendant has entered into an agreement(s); and

(b) Show and disclose how the Claimant has reached the amount(s) claimed for;

© Show how the agreement(s) were breached/ terminated to allow the claimant relief.

(d) Show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim;

 

4. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5, it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed.

 

5. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act1974.

 

6. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to

Hi guys,

 

yesterday I received the standard from letter for Carter inviting me into negotiations, telling me the court advises you too and I should seek legal advice.

 

Am I correct that I need to reply to this reiterate the previous letters that they have not responded to as per my defence?

 

Thanks again

Hi Guys,

 

Today i have received 2 separate letters:-

 

1 - is a copy of the small claims track questionnaire completed by Carter (agreeing to mediation), does this mean that when I complete mine I need to send him a copy?

 

2 - a reply to my defence which states the account number, date of default and when it was assigned to Lowell and states I would have received notice of assignment around that time. It also refers me to my own records for a copy of the agreement. It then goes on to say that they are going proceeding with the claim and are willing to enter in negations under the tomlim act and invite me to call their office.

 

So basically they haven't provided anything, however am I best contacting them as the court will see this favourably?

 

Thanks again, Ian

Hi guys, just a quick update.

 

 

I have had the mediation call where I explained I had no paperwork.

 

 

Now it has been considered by a judge and allocated to small claims court.

 

 

It is asking me to pay £170,

 

 

what's my best option here?

 

 

Is this normal?

 

Thanks for your help as ever.

 

Ian
