    • This is what I have said in my email of complaint:   On 29th November 2023 I took out a loan of £5000 with you. Unfortunately very early into 2024 I have found myself in financial difficulty and I contacted you on 13th February 2024 asking if there was any way I could extend the length of my loan to 36 months and I fully explained why I was requesting this and asked for your help. 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 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 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 remove the Cifas marker and let me make arrangements to pay the loan back through a DMP. If you fail to resolve my complaint within 8 weeks, or if matters are not settled to my satisfaction, I will have no alternative but to refer my complaint to the Financial Ombudsman Service. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Should I send something along those lines to the CEO? 
    • Right... Misuse of Facility is a Cat 6 and is considered the worst out of all of the CIFAS Categories for CIFAS Markers.  However lets see what happens when MCB come back to you. Make sure you refer it to the CEO.    IF YOU DONT HAVE A VALID REASON FOR THE ISSUE WITH PAYMENTS ETC - Then the marker will stay.   
    • That "oh dear" doesn't sound good  
    • Oh dear.. Misuse of facility...  Cat 6... No wonder everything is being nuked from high orbit... More in a bit.. 
    • Thank you fkofilee First question: what do I do if Monzo close my account? I need an account but no one will touch me with this marker against me. Is there anywhere/any other option that I have if Monzo close my account? MCB is My Community Bank?  Yes What Category of Marker do you have? This is what it says on the Cifas SAR: Application date: 07 December 2023 Date recorded: 09 April 2024 Expiry date: 09 April 2030 Cifas Case Identifier: 15435315 Product relating to the application, proposal, account or facility: Personal Loan – Unsecured Facility: Granted Case type: Misuse of facility Reason(s) for filing: Evasion of payment Financial Loss Value of Loss: £5000.00 When did you raise the complaint? Last night via email Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan? I can prove that I had to buy a new washing machine, I have my pay slips showing the emergency tax code and a letter from the tax office after I had spoken with them to get it corrected and of course I can get a copy of my vet bill. And all of this was in the first 2-3 months of 2024.  I panicked. Stupid I know and as you say, I have learned the hard way and I am not in any way denying anything that I have done wrong, but it just feels a bit unfair.  It is what it is I guess and if I have to have it on me forever then so be it. I am just so worried about the bank situation 😕

    • 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.

Update:

 

Received from the court today

 

There's an option to agree to mediation. I'm assuming I tick yes on that?

C1 - Yes?

D1 - My local CC?

D2 - No?

D3 - Witness 1

D4 - Dates I cannot attend?

Interpreter - No

 

There's a mediation form asking:

For mediation to be successful there needs to be some flexibility from all parties and a willingness to listen and consider each other's positions. Can you agree to this Yes/No

I can confirm that I have enough information about the claim, to allow me to enter into negotiations. Yes/No

 

If I answer NO to any of the above then mediation is not suitable.

 

How to proceed folks?

Well whaddya know. This letter isn't exactly informing me of a change of solicitors either. 

So Lowells should have filled a notice to cease and then the new boys under N434. 

Interesting. Does this then invalidate their claim?

Received via email today:

 

Your appointment details

Claim number: #######;

Parties: LOWELL PORTFOLIO I LTD v a name

Appointment date: 23/04/2021;

Appointment time slot: 13:30 and 16:30;

Your confidential telephone mediation appointment has been booked for the above date and time slot. If you need to cancel your appointment please let us know, this lets us offer your time slot to someone else.

You will be called within this time slot and your appointment will last for a maximum of one hour.

Reply by email to [email protected] confirming:

  • your full name
  • email address
  • telephone number for the mediator to call you on

Important mediation requirements

Please read the following statements - mediation is only available if you can answer yes to all 3:

  1. I am willing to negotiate on the amount of the claim and I will consider a compromise.
  2. I have enough information about the claim to enter into negotiations and do not require any further evidence from the other party before starting mediation.
  3. I’m available for the entire time slot on the date of my appointment.

If you cannot answer yes to all 3 statements, mediation is NOT suitable for your case and you should contact us: [email protected]

 

How to respond?

I think point 2 is where I send back something like:

The claimant has to date failed to provide me with enough information to enter into any meaningful mediation negotiations, I also in my initial response told the court that I would be unavailable to attend and mediation until after 6th July 2021 so am unsure why an appointment has been set for the 23rd April.

Cheers, just wanted to make sure before I hit the send button.

 

I'm assuming i this 'meeting' I'll just be reiterating my stance "the claimant has to date failed to provide any meaningful evidence to support their claim" regardless of what the judge/magistrate or other side say.

 

Thanks.

not sure if you were or it might have been better too, send a witness statement too, outlining your position as lowells did?

 

as to your post above, what meaningful evidence have they yet to supply... as far as i can see they have the agreement, the default notice and the notice of assignment, and they all look ok to me.

 

what is you stance regarding you don't owe this with regard to the above quoted post.....i see theres an IRL complaint that the OP refused, did this move to the FOS as advised? but that's not anything to do with the claimant and this claim as such...

Well based on that then I have no defence - I'm currently working but not earning enough to service this debt, there's a form I can use to ask the judge to keep the payments under a certain amount and means to judgement or CCJ on my record - is that right?

well it's not a full hearing so you can't 'lose' , just gets a full hearing date set, whereby lowells might try and strike your defence out etc as they have threatened.

 

so where do you stand on the defence you filed that you don't owe this money, be it for whatever reason? how's the FOS complaint going? might be an idea to try and wrap that up, as if they decide it was subject to irresponsible lending, then the sum lowell is after is in dispute..

 

did you forward the complaint to the FOS as advised and what was their reply?

my defence is in post 14

 

FOS felt that there was complaint to enforce and so knocked that back and saw no irresponsible lending, they felt the bank had carried the required checks.

well see where it goes, nothing will be adjudged at this hearing.

 

IMHO it might pay you to get a consent order agreed latter on?

Yeah that's what I'm thinking, I am almost certain I've had to do one of these previously but for the life of me cannot find it. Is there a basic template on here you can direct me to? Or is it worth even at this late stage that they write off the debt?

Draft: Putting it her for reference if I need to use it. And this would go directly to Overdales or direct to Lowell? I'm thinking that as they have been able to gather all of their evidence it might be worth sending this anyway. My concern is the amount we can afford to pay.

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

I am writing on behalf of the defendant XXX in relation to the claim reference above. She has asked me to write on her behalf asking if there is a way to settle this matter outside of court in order to avoid a CCJ, perhaps a Tomlin Order might be the way forward.

 

Without admission of any liability she would like to make an offer to start a repayment plan that is affordable and manageable.

 

Perhaps, if there was a significant reduction in the amount the settlement could occur in a lump sum.

 

Given the timing we would welcome a quick reply.

 

Kind Regards.
