    • Dwf have contacted me by telephone  I haven’t confirmed anything 
    • Now received a pack from Barclays Marked " Personal Data Request" and "Start of Right of Access Response" It was sent by their General data protection Team and includes details for a loan account and a credit card. The loan details includes a copy of a signed Credit Agreement regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, signed by me and dated 2/9/2004. It refers to Terms and conditions overleaf, but copies of these were not included in the package just received. The Original Loan expiry date was September 2009. Barclaycard: Their records indicate Last Billed 15/03/2024 (not rcvd. by me) Last date account in order and not delinquent 15/03/2024. Date account closed 31/12/9999 (!), They show "Account not in Collections" and last payment posted 16/04/2007(!) also Last Payment Recorded as 02/10/2023. In their memo Details section: Section 78 Outcome "unenforceable" recorded on 12/10/2023. As stated in this thread, I had been paying off both the loan and card. I had stopped paying the card but am still paying the loan's nominal monthly payments.

    • Massive apologies. That makes absolute sense, and I should have considered that first. I am sorry. I had wanted to provide a copy of the case file which I had sent to myjar. I am really sorry. I understand your point, the issue I have is that because I suffer from bipolar I took out a load of payday loans, I tried going through resolver and asked that they consider writing off the loan this was in 2020. I had previously changed my name, and Myjar responded to me in my new name. The change was both my first name and second name. The document I sent listed the information there. Despite this, every communication I have received from them has been in my former names. I requested they read the first page of the document, which literally listed my details and answers to their questions. They refused to do so, so I told them to go ahead and bring me to court. Interestingly they have now contacted me about another loan with a separate company which is unrelated to this but uses the information that I supplied in the case file. Given that they would not act upon the information supplied in the case file, would this stand in a court of law (in which case the debt is not statute barred)? If this information, which they would not act on, is not relevant, then it would be. They also called me for the first time yesterday under my newer number and old name. They asked if I knew anyone who called (my former name). I said no and put the phone down. I had previously gone to (The financial ombudsman) but been told that due to Myjar failing they could not help. I'm not sure where I stand, I'm sorry for rambling and for not thinking in the first place.

    • 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.

Erudio/drydens claimform - old slc loan - stayed now N244


Recommended Posts

Hi,

i have read through as many of the SLC HSL etc posts as I can handle without my brain melting and I'm still not sure what i should do with my situation.

If anyone can shed any light I would be most grateful.

I failed to inform the SLC of a change of address when I moved in NOv 2006 and had not heard anything from them them until the Cash Collection Agency and Close Credit Management (both at same address) sent me letters stating that I owe £899.57 in Mar/April this year.

I rang them (first mistake?) and they said it is for repayments because I have failed to defer my account. Up until this point I have deferred each year since I took out the loans in 1995/1996.

I was on long term incapacity benefit for six years which was paid by Income Support. This ended in Nov 2007 when I became self employed.

The period of non deferral is Feb 2007 to Feb 2008.

I need to get deferral forms in order to prevent another £75 a month getting added in repayment amounts (each 25th of the month). 

CCA and CCM both refuse to send deferral forms until I pay them money "and no piddly amounts like a pound a month".

I rang SLC (second mistake?) who said that because the matter was passed to an agency there was nothing they could do.

THis was until I got through to collections at SLC who said they will send out a form.

No form appears and so I appear to be stuck in a catch 22 where I can't get them to send forms and therefore cannot defer this year.

What course of action should I take to prevent this spiralling.

Do I have to pay the repayments because I didn't inform the SLC of my change of address.

I can prove my entitlement to Incapacity benefit from Feb 2006 Nov 2007

and my self employed earnings from Nov 2007 to now.

They both fall well below the threshold.

It appears that I should send S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) and CCAs to the SLC is that correct.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a template, especially the CCA 

I found this

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/payment-protection-insurance-ppi/92686-r-subject-access-request.html for the SAR, is this ok.

I can't get the template section to work on the site even though I am registered.

Should I do anything with the Cash Collection Agency/CCM.

They thankfully don't ring me as per many of the stories on this site.

 

Although they, unofficially through caller ID, know it I have denied that is my no.

Do I have any dispute with either of these companies,

I haven't been able to find a case that is similar, others mostly deal with "lost" deferment forms

and ensuing protocol for dealing with that.

 

I should also like to say Thank You for this resource.

My CAB is always shut due to staff shortages and I gave up trying to phone them a long time ago

after hours of waiting for nothing.

A resource like this at least allows me to get a grasp of my situation and see how others have dealt with similar issues.

Found templates! I am sending this letter to Close Credit Management,

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt-issues/20758-creditors-dcas-letter-templates.html template N and am going to send the SLC a SAR.

I want the CDs of telephone conversations from both the SLC and CCM, can these be included in a SAR?

Thank you for such a great resource on student loans and how to deal with the varying companies that try to get money from us.

I have two mortgage style loans that will be written off in 6 years. (25 years from when I took them out).

I am on record as having arrears for them because I moved house, didn't inform them and so didn't defer in time one year.

I had been defaulted by SLC for this and it has just been removed.

When Erudio took over the first thing they did was adjust my debt because apparently SLC had calculated wrong and I have less now than before.

As noted on here their deferment form is an information gleaning exercise and as I am due to defer for another year and I am going to use the deferment form from SLC as it contains all the info they need and no more.

I thought I would leave the CCA until after as to not get any more defaults on my account as it made a fair bit of difference to how I could run my life so I do not want another.

Is that a good idea or should I go in with a CCA now and see if they have the paperwork for my account?

Are Erudio as a DCA any more able to enforce payment from me because of arrears or are they in the same boat with me as with everyone else and I can just ignore them until the time runs out?

Thanks in advance for any help

Cheers

Jon

they certainly have no special powers.

they are simply a DCA.

and this is simply another debt to them

 

 

I'd seriously question how and under what rules they think they can recalculate and change a default placed by the OC.

As dx advised me, sign nothing with these people and do not return their form and do NOT sign it either. ( have i clearly demonstrated not signing!?)

 

1st thing id do is CCA it, as it automatically puts your alleged debt into dispute.

 

As dx states, id bet good money your debt is most likely legally unenforceable. :)

Jon, when you say 'default' on your file, is it showing on your credit record?

 

Do not worry about this crowd attempting to destroy your record as they will not be able to without you signing your name on their form/s.

 

Do not trust anything they tell you, as they will try every dirty trick in the book. Remember that if they took a judgement against you, the judgement writes off that loan and the judgement, now is the student loan.

 

Watch out for them attempting to bluff you on this, and do not let them stress or bully you. Also i recommend that you do not let them take control of your negotiations eg: 'You are in default' write back and state that you are not because eg: 'Account remains in dispute and remains unenforceable because you failed to respond correctly to my CCA' blah, blah.

 

Just remember that if they state something is black, you argue its white as 99.999999999 out of 100 times it will be.

Hi Warren,

The account was placed in default by SLC.

Without appropriate notice etc and stayed there for a few years as I didn't have the knowledge, time or enthusiasm to remove it.

Gone now thankfully and my credit rating is OK.

If they can't default me without me signing their forms

do I have any need to defer as I find the whole palaver pointless and time consuming and being self employed I am only just doing my 2014 tax return let alone the 2015 one?

Just completed the CCA, got the address from their website, who is the PO payable to?

Thanks

Jon

no-one you leave it blank totally

and don't sign the letter either

 

as for them defaulting you - they can't

 

if SLC did that and its now dropped off

it can never return again

 

the ICO says:

 

All references to a defaulted debt must be removed from your credit files after 6 years

has passed from date of default, whether paid off or not.

.

{the WHOLE ACCOUNT WILL VANISH, never to return}.

.

{however, this does not mean the debt itself is not still owed

consider a CCA request.}

.

This is so that someone who continues paying something

- even after 6 years from default

- should not be at a disadvantage to someone who pays nothing after default

and ends up with a clean file after 6 years.

They will claim that if their are arrears on the account it cannot be written off after the 25 years, so Escerwdio will continue to chase, but whether they can collect is another matter.

We could do with some help from you.

Can I get the arrears removed?

I hadn't deferred because I moved house and thought nothing of the fact I had to tell them.

I was on incapacity benefit at the time so was obviously under the threshold but they would not accept that because of their three month rule.

Do the arrears carry over to the new owners or can I get them removed?

I'd rather the six years was an end to it all rather than have it hanging over me indefinitely.

Went to get my postal order for the CCA request and they said that I have to address it to someone.

Is the payee Erudio Student Loans Ltd? or can I just leave it blank completely?

Thanks all for your help

As said can only be backdated for 3 months, and in theory are carried over to Erudio.

 

Whether Erudio have the faintest chance of enforcing them or the agreement against you is another matter.

 

They can't be reported on credit files now if you had a previous default that has dropped off

I have had my two loans from 1995 and 1996 sold onto Erudio in March 2014.

Having looked into it then and seeing the deferment palaver that many were having I decided to ignore them as I assumed that because they are a DCA they have no powers to collect money or default me.

I have just received a remedy of account from them detailing what they feel that my repayment amount should be and the amount that I am in arrears.

I have therefore read up again in order to try to understand if they can affect my credit rating and if I need to defer.

What powers do they have and how should I act now?

Am I OK ignoring them still as I haven't signed anything with them or deferred since they took over.

(I always used to defer with SLC and am still under the threshold for deferment)

Thank you for your advice

Thanks for merging the threads.

Makes a lot of sense.

Just checked my Noddle account and it doesn't show up there.

I think it is possible that the new arrears that they have calculated may be because I haven't deferred?

There are a lot of letters bundled together and none of it is very clear as to the reasons behind the calculations.

am 39. What is the age for write off?

Just reading around it looks like the loans will be written off

"when the last agreement for a student loan has been outstanding for not less than 25 years"

which will be in 2021 if it goes on my newest loan which was 1996

Is this correct?

Update.

 

Erudio have sent me a letter saying that they are now trying to default me. The amount is 1892.97, I am not sure if it includes the previous amounts from slc (in which case it sounds like it cannot be redefaulted?) Or if they are for the repayment amounts from April 2015 when I failed to defer.

Should I try to defer now?

More willy waving?

Having just got my default removed I should to not have to fight to get this one removed.

They sent me my CCA in 2015.

They seem to be in order.

I'm not sure about arguing white if they argue black as I'm still not sure how I stand.

Here are the letters I received yesterday if someone could have a look I would be most grateful.

Thanks

Jon

Thanks for the hand holding through that.

I've removed all QRs as well.

The amounts make me traceable but only by those that have access to the information anyhow.

I assume that's not a problem?

The original default with SLC was for £800 or so iirc.

Do you mean that because they are acting as a creditor they can default me?

 

What are my options?

The CCA seems to be in order.

I can post pictures tomorrow if it helps.

 

The alleged arrears are different from the previous SLC ones.

Does this allow them to now default me again?
