    • 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.

If the porch has a lock on both doors then its implied that its the inner door that they need to get thru but to be absolutely sure dont open any.

 

EA's cannot climb thru windows any more.

So be safe.

Get council tax bill and personal id like drivers licence.

Lock both doors behind you and show them.

You'll find if you do that they will say that's fine, they will return the warrant to court as not known with proof shown.

 

Also be assured that JBL only enforces civil debts so they have NO authority to force entry on the warrant..

I have to refer to DragonFly1967 Post#14

 

I have had exactly what you describe happen to myself a few years ago.

 

The EA arrives at my front door with the Court Warrant shows me it then I notice is completely wrong name and wrong address.

 

I informs EA they are at the wrong address and I am not debtor.

 

The EA insists this is the correct address even after I point to the street signage where its obvious its the wrong address but EA insists.

 

I then inform the EA that I will go and get I.D. and I will not close door but they must remain outside my property (surpirisingly they did).

 

I then show EA my Driving Licence, Passport and Council Tax and demamnd full details of there company os how dare they come to my door accusing me

of someone elses debt just because they cannot read a map and get the correct address and to do this to a disabled veteran.

 

Just lets say the EA was like a rabbit in headlights changed there attitude, apologised gave me there details and off they went with tails between there legs

 

Did I let this go nop complaint about EA and got full apology.

 

 

Then it gets better well you will laugh I did at the time.

 

So exactly 2 days after the apology my door goes, not expecting anyone.

 

There are 2 Police Officer, are you XYS as we have a Warrant for your Arrest.

 

Me think you have the wrong person and address (its the ruddy same name and address the EA got wrong) came I see the Warrant please.

 

What do the Officers do show me the warrant with that persons name and address on it.

 

So I say look round at the road signage and I will also go get I.D. and will leave door open.

 

Comes back shows them my Driving Licence, Passport and Council Tax.

 

They are like rabbits in headlights also and cannot apologise enough and say it was the EA that gave them directions to my property.

 

Mass complaint goes in and I will give the Police there due was investigated quickly,and fully apology from a very Senior Officer.

 

Oh and the EA got a severe kick up the butt.

So how did the Police get a Warrant to arrest you and on what charge?

You pointed out their mistake (with evidence) and provided your ID, resulting in NFA. That's all the guy in the video had to do.

The video starts with an open door and a person filming the 'unexpected' approach of EA & locksmith.

The video producer has an obvious axe to grind with DCBL. Why?

Does anyone sense a set-up?

They didn't have a warrant to arrest Stu007, they had a warrant to arrest some other person at a different address.

 

Again, it's said that "That's all the guy in the video had to do" (my bold)

 

 

Whilst I'm in full agreement that it would have proved that the EA had the wrong person, the person in the video had/has no duty to the EA to provide anything. Thankfully, we do not live in a country where you have to prove your ID on demand (outside of certain circumstances) and if an EA came to my door with an attitude looking for someone that didn't live here, they'd only get one answer and it wouldn't include my ID.

Please note that my posts are my opinion only and should not be taken as any kind of legal advice.
In fact, they're probably just waffling and can be quite safely and completely ignored as you wish.

The point I was trying to make is that the EA will not be as interested in paperwork as in physical proof that the debtor does or does not live there.

 

As said there is no requirement for an address on a warrant, in fact the debtor may live at several addresses and the bailiff may attend to serve at any of them. The warrant is against the debtor, not the debtor at an address. It requires only enough info to identify the person.( see CPR wherever it is).

 

The bailiff will be much more interested in getting in and checking for clothes in wardrobes, sleeping accommodation, letters etc.

few questions for the people who have said they would refuse to provide details. well why? i guess is the first one.

what is the obsession in 2018 for being deliberately obstructive? not having a go just like to know the reasons why.

 

when people say the EA should do the research, well what about this scenario:

the writ has the address on. the company have done an experian search and it shows bank accounts and revolving credit & budget accounts at that address.

the occupier isnt the debtor but refuses to say who they are.

what more can the agent possibly do if the occupier is refusing to provide info other than continue with their actions?

None of the beliefs held by "Freemen on the land" have ever been supported by any judgments or verdicts in any criminal or civil court cases.

Speaking only for myself...

 

1. It's not about being 'deliberately obstructive' at all for me. But, an EA, or anyone else that comes to your front door has absolutely no right to demand to see ID. As I said before, if they asked nicely, they might get it. If they demand it, well, it's not going to happen.

 

2. They are welcome to continue with their actions, I don't have any problem with that at all. That is after all their job and what they are commanded by the court to do. But they can continue their actions somewhere else. They won't be continuing anything with me.

 

 

As I also said before though, it'd be a completely different scenario if the person at the door is lying through their teeth. I'm talking about a scenario where, even if they had the right address on the writ/warrant, that person had never lived here to my knowledge (and it wasn't me)...

The EA has a perfect right to be there if he is of the honest belief the debtor lives there, regardless. Sorry

 

 

If after the event the person feels there was no sufficient cause for such a belief, a complaint can be made.

Just to set the record straight, I despise Freeman of the Land and everything they stand for. I have done my utmost over the years to protect and rescue people from their recklessness and I consider any suggestion that I am aligned with them as defaming.

 

It's a shame that you are so quick to smear someone who you disagree with, and tag them as a member of one of the worst cults in English history, because ironically that in itself is a Freeman tactic: Painting the opposition as someone with the very worst of malign intent. My aim, like yours I would hope, is to help people. If you believe me to be wrong then simply defaming me is in no way going to make me receptive to your views.

 

I could just as easily start throwing around accusations that some of the users of CAG are shills for Enforcement Agencies - indeed some of the postings on this thread certainly read like that. But I would rather not engage in childish forum wars. There's plenty of that to be found on various websites, which you would expect from that hive of deluded manics. But I expected more from CAG.

 

Pity really, because there has been many a time I have referred people who have experienced problems with EAs to this website and spoke of it with the highest praise.

 

I don't agree that an enforcement officer has the power to enter the wrong person's home just to search it for ID. That was the main point of the video. I'm sorry if that appears obstructive or unreasonable to some of the authoritarians on this forum, but I guess when it comes to an Englishman's castle, I have old fashioned values.

 

I think you will find the law agrees with me on that point as well.

A lot of people here agree with that as well Crimebodge. However, if everyone agreed, this wouldn't be much of a forum, so you, I and everyone else have to accept that now and again (or most of the time) someone will disagree with a post :thumb:
