    • 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.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my problem and any advice you can offer.

 

Two weeks ago, I went to a car dealer to look at cars,

I found one I liked and went about negotiating with the dealer in regards to price and part ex my existing car which already had finance to be paid off and a new finance to be taken out.

 

He goes out to the part ex...

does an assessment of the body and mileage.

Doesn't start the car.

 

Comes in asks me if I have history.

Yes I do and I've only had the car for 6 months as it's a two seater and life has since changed and need 4 seats.

 

We do a deal re money and he give me an order form that he says in must sign to order the car with lots of t and c that he doesn't explain.

Apparently one is that my car is sound.

Takes sizeable deposit of £1800 which I paid on credit card.

 

One weekend later,

I go to pick up car - am due some money from existing finance and this will alter previous paperwork which will be sent to me on Monday

- guy goes to car and again logs mileage,

doesn't even pop the bonnet, inspects bodywork.

Comes in, completes paperwork and away I go in new car.

 

I get half an hour away and I receive a call saying that dealer needs me to make payment for problem with part ex car at around £2k

- what problem?

I'm now in a panic as absolutely don't know what he is talking about.

 

Something with the steering being a problem.

Still actually don't understand.

 

I explain that I don't understand and he says that I have stated the car is mechanically sound on paperwork and that I must pay.

It is sound to my knowledge says I.

 

He send me a video.

I explain I have never seen car do this fault

- I drove it 50 miles to garage and no problems.

(For reader - genuinely I have not seen this problem in six months of having the car!)

 

I tell him I'm shocked and driving on loudspeaker on m25 .

Could we speak Monday and I might ask to have it independently looked at.

He says he'll get a tech to put it on ramp and speak Monday.

 

Received a call today

- he is saying it has an undeclared issue.

Something about it being banged at some point

- which never happened on my watch.

 

To make this fault happen - he has put my old car in drive, and full licked the wheel standing still.

 

He has my money from the finance refund on part ex and also my deposit refund hasn't been processed.

 

I've asked for a tech report and a list of what he claims is wrong and was very clear that I would like to seek advice before discussing as I know nothing about cars.

 

Where do I stand?

Please help as I really haven't ever had anything like this. I don't know if they are taking advantage because I am clearly not informed about cars.

tough on him

buyer beware reigns

 

I think hes trying to spoof you personally

 

don't think legally he has a leg to stand on.

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...

Although combined with the fact he has over £2k of my money its problematic.

 

Note - some of its on my credit card and some of it the dealer has from payout of my past finance.

 

Clearly I also want my money back...

 

Are these seperate issues? Can I demand my money back ... or do I dispute the cc charge and sing for the rest?

It may be worth your while to have one of those "first session free" deals if there is a local lawyer who offers this.

My first reaction about what you signed is that it is not valid by virtue of the fact that you have neither qualifications or experience to know faults on a car unless they are staring you in the face.

put simply,

he is the professional and it is down to him to show "due diligence" when inspecting your car.

What he is trying to do is find some method of paying you less by making up a story to hang on to money he owes you.

 

I am not being rude but your grammar on your posting suggests to me that english is not your native tongue

and I would reckon that he is taking advantage of your possible ignorance on this matter to bully you nto accepting a worse deal than already agreed.

 

You should stop trying to be helpful to this man and put it in writing that you have a contract that you are sticking to

and that if he breaks it then you are entitled to sue him for damages.

 

 

Let the finance co know that there is a problem with your purchase as you may be having that agreement terminated and have to start again if the garage has misled the finance co.

Ha! I'm English. No offence taken. Hahaha

I asked for details to be emailed to me - tech reports and whatever complete with cost breakdown so that I could take advice.

 

Not heard back! Spoke to a another dealer yesterday who said that due diligence and buyer beware Rule. Plus ... it doesn't matter what I sign - I'm not qualified to know and they are.

 

I will be calling them today to request my refund that was due on saturday. And if I'm not successful they will find themselves with a chargeback and a seven day notice demanding they credit my account with my finance balance.

 

Thanks for the help people!
