    • 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.

Just before the defence goes, should I amend Paragraph 3 below - as i stated in the post above, we did receive a copy of the letter in the post last week, so I am thinking that I should state that they have produced a 'copy' of the notice of assignment.....

 

3.Paragraph 3 is denied, I am not aware I received any Notice of Assignment from the claimant nor the original creditor.

 

thanks

Yesterday was the day that they should have produced the requested documents - only thing so far is a copy of the letter of assignment.

I suspect that there will be letters arriving saying that they are actively compiling the requested information and that the debt is still enforceable and would I like to make a payment now!

 

So what happens next?,

will the Courts stop any action?

will they let me know?

 

I know we are not out of the woods yet, but just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all who offered advice and help in a time of need

- a small donation has been made to 'The Greater Cause'!!

 

thank you all.

" So what happens next?, will the Courts stop any action? No will they let me know? "

 

The court will send you acknowledgement of your defence submitted and serve it on the claimant....the claim then progresses to allocation (transfers the claim from MCOL Northampton to your Local County Court) who will then set directions as to what happens next (Directions)

 

Time for you to get up to speed on the process.

 

Many thanks for the Donation :yo: .....but there is a long way to go yet

Hello people -

 

 

Received a letter from Lowell today containing their copy of the Directions questionnaire

- quite why they sent us a copy of THEIR copy when we will get OUR copy from the Courts in due course I don't know

- Is this normal practice? -

 

 

Is there anything in particular I should look out for when our copy of the Directions arrive?

 

 

thanks

Hello people,

 

 

So we have received our DQ - unfortunately it went to the wrong address ( correct address on envelope) - our neighbour dropped it in earlier today - its due back in on Wednesday, so I think she was sat on it for a while!!!

 

 

Just one question....

 

 

do I state that it would be difficult to consider mediation until we have of all the relevant paperwork that substantiates the basis of their claim?

 

 

I appreciate at this stage they do not have to show their hand regarding my requests and that their non compliance of obtaining these documents is not a reason for me to turn down mediation.

 

 

Or should I leave this for either a court appearance or mediation call?

thanks for the heads up re: email/sig/phone to the solicitors.

 

 

As a side note, we have started receiving automated phone calls on the landline asking for a female that is clearly not my partner - this is a withheld number - immediately after she is getting a text message on HER mobile asking for the same person to ring Lowells immediately.

 

 

Do you think they are trying to verify her details or is it just general incompetence?

Hello again people -

 

 

So this morning I received an email from the small claims mediation service, basically saying they were setting up an appointment for telephone mediation.

 

 

so I have to answer 3 questions now to see if we are eligible for mediation - I just want to clarify one of the questions...... it states:

 

 

I can confirm that I have enough information about the claim to allow me to enter into negotiations and that I do not require any further evidence from the other party beforeI can mediate.

 

 

They have not provided any documents asked for in connection with my CAA request - Do I bring this up now or just accept this and bring it up on the mediation call should it get that far?

those q's will be asked at the start of the mediation cal lits then you state no to docs

Hello again people...

 

 

Not heard anything from Lowlifes regarding my request...however received a Notice of Transfer of Proceedings yesterday.

 

 

it does say " if you have not been advised of an appointment, the team have unfortunately been able to arrange mediation at this time. The claim has been transferred to the County Court Hearing Centre for allocation."

We have not been advised of an appointment.

 

 

Is this normal procedure, and why have we not got mediation? - could Lowlifes have refused mediation?

 

 

I maybe reading too much into this but I am slightly confused!

Most probably just swamped and cant offer the service in your area...not that it would have achieved anything anyway.

Yes, We did receive the claimants DQ quite a while ago.

 

 

So if mediation can't be provided (and just having a quick 'google is your friend' it does seem the service is pretty stretched everywhere!) will it automatically go to court or will a Judge decide if its actually worth taking to court?
