    • 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.

:confused: Hello all

 

have made first steps to reclaim monies from abbey

 

So far have had statements back to july 2000 and they have charged us £1175,polite request for repayment sent for this, however account was opened 1997 but no statements despite requests by telephone for this

40 day deadline up 22nd November how do i put pressure on them for the rest of the statements bearing in mind they cashed the £10 cheque....

 

Are they trying to delay?:confused:

Try reading Puffa thread that was posted this evening. There is a section on it about Abbey and the microfiche arguement. Also there is a template that you can use. Also if they do not send you the information within the 40 days there is another letter in the templates section that you can use. Having read different peoples threads I have seen that this is definately one of their delaying tactics. Hope this helps.

Yes stupid I know but a waste of time, you will just get a repeat of the same letter worded differently requesting a further 4 weeks to investigate your claim. Ultimatly you will get a GOGW payment. So get your LBA of with the schedule of charges. You will still get your GOGW but be that much further down the road to getting the lot back. Best wishes.

 

Regards bish.

Abbey : £8070.41*PAID IN FULL*14/02/07:D

Capital one : LBA sent 17/09/06 £1,087.22

Marbles : LBA sent 17/09/06 £720.00 ; £720 offer accepted:D

A lot of banks don't keep any records for more than 6 years. However, I do believe Abbey keep records on microfiche for at least ten.

 

Forgive me for asking but where did you get this idea from?

 

As far as i can tell all banks and financial organisations at the least keep active account records in their entirety.

 

The Co-op has data going back on my closed account which is older than 9 years at least.

 

Its likely that they hold data for 6 years post account closure since thats the time period post which they will be liable, ordinarily under the limitations act for claims based on the contract.

 

I know from other members that companies have provided data which is significantly older than 6 years from a range of sources, so I would be interested to know where you got this gem?

so can i send lba for the period to july 2000 and add estimate of charges for the un supplied statements?

 

You can but when it comes to claiming you must inlcude the option to amend the claim when the relevant data is available.

 

also i can complain to the information commisioner?

 

If the 40 day statutory period has expired. If they owe you statements and the 40 days havent expired then there is a template to send them in the library.

 

what is best suggestion?

Dear Sirs,

 

We are in receipt of your letter dated 22/12/2006, in requesting information in regards to the above case.

Please find enclosed a current copy of the claim breakdown.

This information has been supplied to you in our correspondence dated 14th November 2006, 28th November 2006 prior to commencing action

We are well aware of the requirement to furnish the courts with this information and have also took the incentive to supply them with your request for this information as a matter of due course, as well as copies of the claim breakdown.

In terms of contact details, you can make contact with us at any time

via e-mail xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Home telephone 01xxx xxxxxx

Mobile telephone 0xxxx xxxxxxxx

Work telephone 0xxxx xxxxxxxx after January 2nd 2007 "

no doubt the next phase will be a standard defence to spend some more time on it, meanwhile the interest accrues daily at a rate of £0.50, so for every week they delay it means another £3.50 for us...... maybe they will get the message

"bring it we are prepared"
