    • The only way to verify whether there is any financial reward for the management is seeing the agreement. That would be required during disclosure IF court proceedings went ahead... Unless you could bring pressure to bear and get a copy?
    • 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 , I haven't sent them an account dispute letter ..I merely wrote on their letter that the account is in dispute ( as it doesn't exist).

 

The threat that Opus pose is that they will run up a huge bill to issue a warrant which will be for the phantom company they have invented.

 

The disruption that could cause is huge and leave us exposed to further break ins from courts for a company that doesn't exist.

 

Opus have also been trying to find out our correct name ....presumably to change their paperwork accordingly.

if the company doesn't exist at that address the court will not issue a warrant.

they cant they must have proof before doing so.

Hi , I really want to be pro active and ensure that Opus cannot possibly destroy our family business grown over 20 years and not leave it to chance that a court might simply rubber stamp it because Opus failed to reveal that the company is fictitious.

by citing the DPA they know that they have the wrong person so it begs the question why do they continue to say anything.

 

Record the calls, worth investing in a small hand held recorder and just put them on loudspeaker to pick it up.

 

They will then be stuffed

A court will never just rubberstamp a warrant

Hi that's heartening to hear ...but how do I confront Opus at this point ?

 

Well i did say earlier what i would do, contact Scottish Power. Advise them that OPUS are threatening their supply meter and you need their help to stop this hijacking of the supply. Scottish Power can contact OPUS and put a stop to this nonsense.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi , Scottish Power have just responded with confirmation that they do indeed supply our power until next year . I have advised them about Opus and requested assistance. Thanks

 

Hi , Opus have not hijacked our supply ...they have created a fictional company that exists in our unit with a fictional supply meter...therefore we cannot challenge it due to DPA

That's a very good point !

 

What they actually did from day one was create a fictional company knowing that nobody could ask questions about it ....but always probing me on the phone for information such as...our company name...etc.

If you want to get people like Scottish Power interested then telling them that OPUS are trying to hijack their supply to gain from them would work. Energy companies deal with such queries on a daily basis.

 

If you tell them OPUS made up a company name and a ficticious supply, then that is not interesting to SP, as it is not another company trying to steal their supply.

 

You have to think smart in these sutuations to get the help you need. Energy companies use an industry database, where they can search for your business address to see what energy contracts are registered.

 

 

They also have access to internal communications with industry operations within other companies.

They can talk to OPUS with the information you supply and resolve your issue.

We could do with some help from you.

We run a food plant . It is not acceptable to us to leave it to chance that unknown people have the capability to break into our plant.

Also ombudsman for electricity have opened a file for us and we have briefed them on the situation .

This is totally outrageous behaviour by Opus Energy .

 

 

We do need an explanation as to why this has happened.

 

#mike_fabricant (MP Lichfield) , @bankofengland need to get involved.

What a huge waste of productivity

 

Opus sent a cold call letter with the intent of highjacking our supply with options on how we could switch .

 

 

When that failed they invented this fake company with a fake meter and fake debt .

 

Our electric provider Scottish Power have the details and are investigating.

 

Opus phoned after creating this fake company .

..refused to state who they were trying to contact (company)

citing the DPA but

 

 

then proceeded to tell us about the account ...a clear breach of the DPA .

 

 

The ICO have been informed.

 

Hi I just spoke to a real person a Opus and it appears to all have been a horrible mistake that should never have happened.

 

Thank you all for your assistance.

To be fair ...this site is most excellent.

 

Opus are similar to other power providers in that they have a huge database of customers.

 

The simplest of things can cause huge problems.

 

The site is very useful but you need to separate malice from just plain muddles.

 

If you help both sides get through muddles it makes your site invaluable to both consumers and power providers.

 

The service you provide then becomes superb.

 

Thanks

Glad you resolved it. Hope OPUS are compensating you for the hassle.

 

Must admit that i struggle to believe it was a muddle. For an energy company to have opened up an energy contract, they needed to receive an instruction containing all of the information. How did they manage to start a contract with a business name similar to your company, operating from the same address ?

We could do with some help from you.

In all fairness Spyder I think the only muddle was created by yourself with all the cloak and dagger posting in your initial post...as for malice I cant see any malice contained in your thread at all...but well done on getting it resolved.
