    • I have recently found myself in financial difficulties and with the help of forum members in another thread regarding this, I think I can get myself sorted. My query here is how to deal with a Cifas marker that has been logged against me by one of my creditors for "evasion of payment". Admittedly yes I did get a £5000 loan with them and have not paid any payment but at the start of the year, which is when the loan landed, I realised I was going to be struggling to repay that and other debts and I contacted MCB to ask if there was any way I could extend the loan from 24 months to 36 months. I explained my situation and that I was going with a DMP and asked them if they could help me with this. They did not reply. I then emailed them again a month later explaining that my DMP was going ahead and could they confirm that the direct debit was indeed cancelled. Again, they did not reply. The DMP fell apart and so did everything else thereafter. My bank withdrew my overdraft and said I could not stay with them (I thought initially that it was because of the DMP) so I opened another account (Starling) and set up all my direct debits etc with the new bank. A month into being with the new bank, they contacted me and said they were closing my account in three months. So I started applying for other basic accounts and every single one of them either refused or revoked.  Through the help in the other thread, I requested a SAR from Cifas and discovered that I have this marker against my name for "evasion of payment". I have logged a complaint with MCB on the advice of other forum members, but my query really is do you think the marker is fair given that I did ask them for help and I did explain that I was going to be struggling financially to repay the loan over the original two years, and is there any way that I can get it removed? I fully admit that I have yet to make a payment to them and I suppose in my naivety and panic I thought if I emailed them early on they could extend the loan and help me out, but they didn't even reply  I did manage to open an account with Monzo before the marker was in place, but I am very concerned that if Monzo do what Starling did, I will have no bank account to pay my bills or get my wages paid into.  Realistically based on the information I have given here, what do you think my chances are of getting this marker removed? Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated x
    • Thank you dx, that is what I intend to do now. I have gone through all the SAR documents, a lot of which I am seeing for the first time! As per my previous post #116 letters and statements alleged to have been sent to me, as recorded on their system notes I have not received. Letters I have sent requesting information and account statements have not been recorded as being received by them, all were sent either by Recorded or Special Delivery. I have all the proof you menrtioned from my files for payments and from their SAR info for fees added. Thanks t
    • In my experience (not with car payments) but with many other things, my partner has been ill and signed off in the past and we have been unable to meet various commitments.  Naturally if you ring the call centre they are going to fob you off and tell you you must pay, that's why that never ever works. I would obtain a note from her GP listing all her health issues plus medications plus side effects, then write to the finance company with a copy of it, explaining the situation, as you have here, asking for a payment holiday. Perhaps mention that the car is very much needed for hospital appointments etc. It's likely the finance company would rather you pay till term end than, chase you for money they will never see, and sell the car at auction for a loss,  You can search some of my threads going back years, advising people to do this for Council Tax, Tax Credits, HMRC, Even a solicitors company and it always works, because contrary to popular belief people are reasonable.
    • Sorry, I haven't ever seen one of these agreements. Read it all and look out for anything that says when she can withdraw and when she is committed to go ahead. If it isn't clear she may need to call the housing provider and simply say what you posted here, she doesn't want to go ahead and how does she withdraw her swap application?
    • Thank you! Your head is like a power bank of knowledge.  Her health issues are short term, due to a relationship breakdown she took it pretty hard and has been signed off work on medication for 3 months. She only started her job in February 24 so does not qualify for any occupational sick benefits, which is where the ssp only comes in. (You will see me posting a few things over the coming days, whilst I try and sort some things for her)  I sat with her last night relaying all this back and she does want to work out a plan, she was ready to propose £100 for the next 3 months and then an additional £70 per month onto of her contractual to "catch up" but Money247 rejecting the payment holiday and demanding £200 thew her, which is why I came on here.

    • 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.

poss might have been a thread whereby the debt buyer claimed sec 69

to before they bought the debt.

hence they are not entitled to it.

 

 

std sec 69 int is typically limited to one cal year only

 

Sadly that isn't correct s69 can be normally claimed from the cause of action sadly (ask Andy that ). Don't forget when you sell a debt all the rights and obligations go with it - presumably that includes the "right" to interest. Its a frankly disgusting system.

As for limited for one year that isn't correct either. Some claims do seem to limit the s69 to one year seems to me looking on here they are usually claims that are for (relatively) smaller sums. You don't seem to see it on larger sums and I cant think of any claim posted on here that would qualify for fast track ever been limited to one year.

 

The whole s69 interest is a complete farce. The rate hasn't been revised in years despite the BOE rate been at a record low for years. Interest rates were around 8% in 1984 when s69 was introduced so must have been based on the BOE rate. If that was the same that would mean ANY claim brought now should attract a 0.5% rate since that's been the BOE rate since March 2009.

(3)Subject to , where—

 

(a)there are proceedings (whenever instituted) before a county court for the recovery of a debt; and

 

(b)the defendant pays the whole debt to the plaintiff (otherwise than in pursuance of a judgment in the proceedings),

 

the defendant shall be liable to pay the plaintiff simple interest, at such rate as the court thinks fit or as may be prescribed, on all or any part of the debt for all or any part of the period between the date when the cause of action arose and the date of the payment.

 

(4)Interest in respect of a debt shall not be awarded under this section for a period during which, for whatever reason, interest on the debt already runs.

Andy elaborated on this point not so long ago on a different thread and pointed out that interest was at the discretion of the judge and the rate could be up to 8%, not fixed at 8%.

 

Also, rather than being claimed from 'cause of action', isn't it actually from the date the agreement was ended?

Until then, the account balance would be accruing interest under the terms of the agreement...right?

[i stand corrected further to Andy's post above]

 

EDIT: Sorry Andy, you beat me to it while I was taking a call mid-post.

Whilst it may be at the discretion of the judge seems to me the de facto rate is 8% you will almost certainly attract that rate on a default judgement. "or as may be prescribed" (from Andy's post above) seems to be the baseline.

 

With a potential rate of 8% there is a perverse logic for the creditor to wait as long as possible before taking action. 8% return is a pretty darn good return these days. You do have to factor in inflation but that is around 1% these days the debt is not getting inflated away.

Hi all,

 

Thank you for all your help so far.

Just a quick update

 

I emailed the defence to the address above

- I got an auto reply saying that if my email was in response to a claim then I should send it to a different address - [email protected]

I'm only mentioning this as I don't tend to read auto replies so it was lucky I did!

 

I received an acknowledgement via post from the courts anyway, so my defence has been received.

 

I have also received 'current MBNA Credit Card terms and conditions'

These went to my parents address and that is the address which is on there.

Not the address or name I used when I opened the account.

Which I would have expected.

 

I have also received a statement of account from Link.

The date range is 04/02/2016-03/08/2016 the amount looks to be different to what they are claiming too.

 

Do I just wait until I hear from the courts now about the next steps?

Share on other sites

yes

 

 

if link don't progress it

the claim becomes auto stayed on day 33 from the date you filed yourdefence

after that date

they'll have to pay a further fee to progress it

and unlift the stay.

I think I may have a problem and I hope someone can help me.

 

All the paperwork was sent to my address,

I split with my boyfriend and moved out.

 

He has sent my post on when he has gotten around to it but as I hadn't heard anything from these since the end of November I didn't think anything further of it.

 

Last week my ex posted some things through my door,

one is from the court to say I haven't responded to a directions questionnaire,

this is dated 19th March 2017.

 

The other is from Kearns relating to their directions questionnaire,

this is dated 27th Feb 2017 and references the directions order dated 19th Feb.

 

I haven't had anything else, or it hasn't been passed to me.

 

By the time I received the paperwork the date to return the questionnaire had passed.

 

I'm not sure what to do next,

the wording on the court papers say they will make a decision on the order.

 

I don't think I was sent everything I asked for last year when I sent the letter you guys helped me write, if that helps me in anyway?

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I let everyone else know. I just hadn't even thought about these unfortunately.

 

I've received the CCJ now. It's for £2663.71 plus costs of £210. I don't understand why the amount claimed for has changed.

I phoned the court, they sent me the paperwork to fill in. It was too much for me, I couldn't do it.

 

It's the main amount which has changed, I think it was £27xx when they initially submitted the claim. Unless that included part of the costs.
