    • 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 there,

 

I have an old Halifax credit card that defaulted 5 years ago.

I have been paying a reduced amount each month on a SO.

 

Halifax closed the account and Cabot, who took over the debt in September 2015

have been sending me letters, which I've ignored as it's being paid each month.

 

They have now passed my account to Restons.

A search shows a wealth of posts on how they like to go down the CCJ route.

 

As of yet, I haven't heard from Restons.

It was only 3 days ago that Cabot wrote to me advising.

 

My question, can i actually defend the CCJ if court papers come through? Or is my fate sealed.

 

I'm not adverse to paying the debt, though this was due to fall off my credit file early next year.

A CJJ would be terrible for us.

 

Any advice would be great.

Continue paying via SO, and wait for the puerile threat letters from Pestons to land on your doormat.

 

As Shallowfax have flogged this, then dump the payments down to £1 a month.

 

Have you reclaimed any of the fees/charges they levied on the card?

Do you have all of the statements for this account?

 

If not then send shallowfax a SAR (costs £10) they then have 40 calender days in which to send you the entire history of the account and your dealings with them, then you will be able to go through all of the statements and see what/if they have levied any fees/charges on your account, late payment charges etc, then you can go about reclaiming them.

  • 2 weeks later...

I have sent a CCA request to Cabot which I waiting to hear back from, I also sent a letter to Restons solicitors informing them of this fact. They have now sent a letter back to me asking to sign the letter so they know they are talking to the right person.

 

Should I sign it?

Yes who asked you to sign?

 

If they asked you to sign the CCA request, then ignore them as this is NOT rerquired, and they know this, once they are out of time to supply the CCA 12 + 2 days, then you can stop any payments.

Restons wrote to me demanding payment or they will issue legal proceedings. I then filed a CCA request with Cabot (who haven't responded yet) and also sent a letter to Restons informing them I've asked their client for the documents.

 

Restons have responded to my letter saying "they have received this draft letter which purports to come from you but which is unsigned'

 

Should I ignore Restons or send a letter back saying they are happy to send me demands but when i want documents they beat around the bush about a signature.

IGNORE pestons.

 

They can't issue 'legal proceedings' unless they own the debt.

 

Read their cleverly worded missive properly, it doesn't say WILL anywhere in it.

 

IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE some more. They are absolutely powerless.

 

Do NOT write to them again.

 

How long have Cabrot had to respond to your CCA request?

 

If it is more than 12+2 days then sit on your hands, don't pay anyone, and don't correspond with anyone, until you receive your CCA request.

No, that's the thing. It didn't say anything about 'may'. It's titled MFS Portfolio vs yourself.

 

They have also sent out an income and expenditure form which is lengthy to say the least. Even asking about property values.

It's titled MFS Portfolio vs yourself. Oh is it indeed! Can you scan and post it up (redacted) seems like they're slipping into their old habits and exploiting a debtors lack of knowledge by fabricating documents to resemble court papers!

The I&E form is their silly little way of trying to appear important, they have delusions of grandeur, and are hoping you will fill it in, just so they can laugh at it and make fun of how little you earn.

Here you go.

 

It's now 14 days and I haven't heard anything back from Cabot about the CCA.

 

Continue paying via SO, and wait for the puerile threat letters from Pestons to land on your doormat.

 

As Shallowfax have flogged this, then dump the payments down to £1 a month.

 

Have you reclaimed any of the fees/charges they levied on the card?

 

The other thing to mention here is Cabot won't deal with me now,

they said I had to talk to Restons.

 

 

Almost like it's too late to redirect the payments to us kinda thing.

that's a std if but maybe threat-o-gram

and its telling that they have tried to obsure what the debt is all about

by a chain of sales of the debt eithin the same group.

 

 

as for the CCA return

 

 

they have 14 working days.

Once the 14 days are up should I send a letter of dispute to them or not?

 

 

Just a little nervous as I want to continue paying the debt though Cabot won;t talk to me.

 

If i spoke to solicitor are they even going to let me have a payment plan.

You really do need to do a bit more reading around the forums on here.

 

These letters DCA's send are spat out by a computer, they have no human input less for the postie pushing it through your letter box.

 

You're reading far too much into their sully missives, they are psychological rather than actual.

I've read lots on the forum and understand that most of them never go anywhere once assigned.

That hasn't stopped Robinson Way filing a claim for £350 though.

 

 

That I can deal with, even if they get judgement I can afford to pay it off within a month,

this card though. Crumbs, it will go past £7000 at court.

 

Seen loads of posts on how restons are very aggressive in their approach and like charging orders.
