    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS and wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided?. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.
    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?

    • 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.

They are a dca debt buyer

Only the OC can default a debt

 

Might be time to send CG an sar

Let's find the truth

Wouldn't hurt to send mmf a CCA request

But that won't resolve the default.... Yet.

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

I don't know

But I don't agree with the ICO

 

Let's get all the info first

I can't see how a debt buyer can place an account on a credit file when the OC didn't and how they can register a default either when the OC didn't

Maybe i can be of some help. CG are in the process of shutting down , but i do remember that they may have already gone possibly. A SAR to CG may not work at this time as I think they have been fully dissolved now.

Stay off the phone to Motormouth... They will say anything to get you to pay as you are well aware although they have been clipped recently.

 

Speak to the ICO, and i am inclined to agree with DX that something doesnt sound right with them defaulting you.

 

They can only take over the debt reporting. They are not in a position to issue a default notice etc in their name as CG were the original creditor.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Thank you fkofilee, I will be patient and await a response from the ICO. I wont phone motormouth again, they said they wouldn't remove the default even if I paid in full. Thanks for the info on CG, saves wasting the £10 if I don't get anything back.

 

 

I will speak with the ICO at 9am and ask them what their stance on it is and update on here.

I did speak to the ICO. They said they cannot comment on "if a DCA was allowed to register a default", all they could say is that if the data was incorrect I had a right to it being reported accurately.

 

They said that a case worker will be in touch to obtain further details.

 

Hopefully if 10% of the people that have complained on various forums also complain to the ICO then this shower of..... will get what they deserve.

 

regards

Just had the FOS on the phone, they are gathering information. They have stated that MMF can issue a default notice if the OC didn't enter one however the date of default should be within 6 months of the account being overdue and not nearly 3 years later.

 

 

they have asked for my bank statements for Nov 2013 when the claimed payday loan was issued and my full credit file in PDF, it cannot be a screen shot, must be full credit file. I find this a little strange.

Interesting thread as I'm in a nearly identical situation with these muppets,

except that Cash Genie DID default me (for interest which occurred purely because of their practice of breaking their own T&C's by rolling over loans without customer request or consent).

 

 

The default mysteriously vanished from my file about 7 months ago.

Meanwhile MMF have added another one... I'll be watching this with interest!

 

Meanwhile,

is it just me,

or is there something extremely odd about a DCA paying a liquidated company for high-cost debts???

Sounds as bent as a £3-note to me...

247 Moneybox - balance written off, default removed

Cash Genie - bogus default removed

Peachy - interest refunded, default removed

1 Month Loan - interest refunded, data removed

Peachy - balance written off, default removed

Hi Everyone,

whilst waiting for the ICO & FOS to get involved I lost patience and started a money claim online.

I started the claim for £300 and this cost me £25.

The ICO was just too busy to pick up and the FOS was asking random questions that IMO didn't seem relevant.

 

 

The FOS did say that they should change the date of the default to within 6 months of my last missed payment.

They would not agree that they couldn't issue a default, stating that if the owned the debt they had the right, I disagree.

 

I emailed the CEO of MMF and explained the background, I requested we come to a mutual agreement. I offered to pay what they believed I owed (£300), and also to cancel the ICO, FOS & money claim action.

 

They emailed back accepting the offer,

I paid the £300,

closed the complaints and 14 days later the default was removed.

They was actually very helpful once they knew I was serious.

 

Good luck everyone,

 

ps, when I closed the FOS case I asked him to quickly Google MMF default notice,

he did and although he said he had stay objective, he did say it was very interesting............

I don't think so renegadimp, ok so they default me in june 2016.

The FOS & ICO are both pretty much useless,

both claiming that they can issue a default notice.

 

 

The ICO after 45 days still stating that they are too busy..

. At no stage would they agree to remove the default.

The FOS was going to ask them to change the date by 12 months, not really much use.

 

Currently in the process of selling my house and a June 2016 default kills my mortgage outlook.

I decided to create as much noise and go for "its best all round " tactic,

cost me £300, £25 on moneyclaim.

Default removed,

credit score jumped from 470 to just over 800.

 

yes I believe they are wrong,

I would have like to have taken it all the way but at what cost,

not being able to move house.....

glad you got it resolved

£300 is p'haps a small price to pay to resolve this esp regarding mortgages etc.

 

 

and it might turn out that you could get this back

if things keep going south for MMF

re the recent find and refunds.
