    • Have we seen your court bundle?   If we haven't then it's probably an idea to post it up here especially the index page and the witness statement so we can see if there is anything which might need adding or changing 
    • "Care to briefly tell someone who isn't tech savvy - i.e. me! - how you did this?" Its pretty simple although not obvious. You open the google maps app > click your profile picture > Click Timeline from the list > click today > choose the date you want to see the timeline from. Then you'll see your timeline for that day. Often, places you have visited will have a question mark beside them where google wants you confirm you have actually visited. You either click 'yes' if you have, or you click 'edit' to enter the actual place you visited. Sometimes, you'll see 'Missing visit' This probably happens if your internet connection has dropped out at that time. You simply click 'Add visit' and enter the place. The internet on my crappy phone often loses connection so I have to do that alot.   OK dx, understood mate. 
    • I have now been given a court date vs Evri, 4th Sept 2024. I have completed my court bundle, when am I expected to send copies to the court and Evri and should it be in hard copy or electronic? The Notice of Allocation states that no later than 7 days before the directions hearing both parties must send to the other party their final offers to settle. Does this mean I will have to tell Evri what I'm willing to settle? Rgds, J
    • Sorry  Noted x   Ok how about this to the CEO? I know it sounds super desperate but lets call a spade a spade here, I am super desperate: Dear Sir, On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I found myself in financial difficulty (unexpected bills and two episodes of sickness and the tax office getting my tax code wrong resulting in less pay for two months) and I contacted you (MCB) on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months. I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. I did not receive a reply to that email so I again contacted you on 7th March 2024 to advise you of a change in my circumstances which resulted in me having to take out a DMP and asking you to confirm that the direct debit had been cancelled. You would have also received confirmation of this DMP from StepChange but you did not acknowledge receipt of my email. I have only managed to make one payment from my loan but did try and contact MCB to discuss extending my loan, help etc.  I have now therefore fallen behind on several of my debts, yours included, and as a result you have lodged a Cifas marker against my name for "evasion of payment", which has resulted in me having to change banks, which has been an extremely difficult process because of the Cifas marker. I do not feel you have been fair or given me the opportunity to fully explain my situation to you before you lodged the marker against my name. I appreciate it is a business and you have acted accordingly, but I did try to make contact to arrange alternative arrangements and at no point, not even to this day, did I ever intend to not repay my loan. I cannot stress to you enough how much this has affected my mental health. I am having trouble sleeping and my existing health condition has been exacerbated by all of this. What I would like you to do is to please, please remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP.  Please sir, I am begging for your help here. I am not a dishonest person and I have never been in a situation like this before. I am desperately trying to make things right but this marker is killing me. Please can you help me? I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,

    • 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.

thanks, hope i'm not missing something here but..on halifax account , it says settled... but has a default date for november 2012,,, i copy this i found on the net...

What does ‘settled’ mean on your credit report?

 

‘Settled’ means that you’ve paid your debt without default. When you miss several payments consecutively, or sometimes intermittently during the course of a loan term, for example, the lender may add a default marker to your credit report.

 

i would like to know does this mean this was paid?

one issue on my file is due to fall off tomorrow.. as defaulted 27 june 2012.. i will be interested to see if this does happen.

yes so sorry about that..

.i do suffer ocd and what happens is i can easily get confused , because i can not retain info. very long.

 

i just now signed up to check my file for the free 30 day thing.

.seemingly , that halifax account is still active under previous address.

.apparently this can be detrimental as it can look like fraud.. to a prospective lender.

 

.would it do any harm for me to call the local halifax to ask about this?

also the defaulted account of 27.06.12 has not yet fallen off my report..

 

i read it can take a further 28 days administration.. is this correct?

no its not fraud

simply that you failed to update your creditors when you moved

which is rather silly

hope all your other account esp those in debt show the correct address else you are in danger of backdoor CCJ's

 

i'd be telling Halifax and any others your correct address even if the defaulted date is now spent esp if the debt is listed under a dca name!

 

its can take several weeks for credit files to be updated as advised before when the default reaches its 6th birthday

thanks as mentioned before one halifax account satisfied, but that will only mean a dca has bought it...its due to fall off on 7.11.18.

 

.the other states up to date.

.yet i only remember having one account with them.

 

.i have not thought of halifax in years.

.used any account with them.

 

.i intend to call them to establish if that account is still active under my old address

..can this affect my cred rating?...

 

i mean can they default me from now.. if i come to their attention?

 

and good news about account due to drop off today

...i called equifax and the guy took it off. ;)

it needs to be registered at your current address get Halifax to update the address

if it is not defaulted and not in debit then it will not be hurting your score...

  • 3 weeks later...

ok..

here goes.

.slightly off on tangent..

not sure if this should be under a separate thread..

 

i now only have 2 default marks on my equifax file..one is due to go on 23 this month.. other 7 November..

 

i am getting calls from this pra group dca..

.which doesn't bother me in itself...

as is only automated message

 

..they are associated with the default of 23 july.

.now, i am given to wondering if they would attempt a court claim at this late stage

..thereby losing me the statute barred protection.

 

.it occurred to me,

if i wrote them a prove it now.

..they would be caught up in that and not have time to prepare claim.

..of course they could already have begun the procedure..

 

Also

..i have won several times in the court against such people.

. as is documented here

 

..does a court win mean that a default recorded on a credit file is automatically removed?

or would i still wait the 6 year mark?

 

Another query

Equifax, removed defaults recently..

immediately upon me calling them and saying this default is now 6 years old today..

.. but checkmyfile refuse to do this and are saying it can be another 28 days for administration.

.. which seems ridiculous....

have i any right here?

 

any help on these subjects much appreciated.

A court " win " as you describe it does not remove the default markers...there is no connection of action.

 

If it takes 28 days...then its 28 days.

I was about to say that... 6 years from date of default...

Delinquent vs default are the same thing... Just worded differently per CRA...
