    • Thanks for opening, it's been another rough year for my family and I've procastinated a little.. Due to the age of my defaults on this and other accounts (circa 2021), I really need to avoid a CCJ as that will be another 6 years of credit issues. Mediation failed as I played the 'not enough info to make a decision' however during the call for some reason they did offer settlement at 80%, I refused. this has been allocated to small claims track, court date is June 3 and I've received their WS. I'm starting on my WS and wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided?. They do appear to have provided everything required of them (even if docs could be reconstructions). Not really sure what my argument is anymore but I do want to attend court and see this through. Should a judgement be made against me then I will clear the balance within 30 days and have the CCJ removed - this is still possible isn't it? I'm going to be reading up today and tomorrow and hope you can provide me some guidance in the meantime. Thanks as always in advance
    • I have now received my SAR. It includes a great deal of information! Is there a time limit on how long account information is kept and/or can be provided to debtors? I have received many account statements which were not previously sent to me. I remember that the creditor should provide explanations of any acronyms and abbreviations that maybe used in the documents. Is this still the case? Also what, if any, are the regulations in regard to adding fees to a debt? Can fees be added to a debt after the court has approved a charge on a property. Perhaps due to the numerous owners of the debt, many payments I made were not properly recorded on the account, some were entered over a year after the payment was made! Following the Legal Charge, I paid every month until my payments were refused. I am trying to compute the over payments, but the addition of fees etc. is confusing me. Any comments and/or help would be appreciated.
    • did you submit your directions
    • They have defended the claim by saying that the job was of unsatisfactory standard and they had to call another carpenter to remedy. My husband has text messages about them losing the keys a second time and also an email. What do they hope to achieve??? Most importantly,  as far as I have seen online, now I need to wait for paperwork from the court, correct?

    • 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.

We could do with some help from you.

Because It has the same effect as letting everything default and pay nothing. If you don’t own a house there is stuff all anyone can do to you . 
 

IVA means you are throwing money away that you don’t have to. No commission earning IVA company will explain this to you, it’s a massive con.
 

And it will all be statute barred in 6 years without you paying a penny, anyway.
 

So either make token payments, stop the defaults and hope things get better, or stop paying everyone. Naturally you need to make sure all your creditors have your current address though.

ok so you are saying 

1. write to your creditiors with pro rota offer what time scale shell I give them for eg I will pay you £40 pound for how long 

2. so after 6 years from when the day I took loan or from this arrangement ?

3.if they don't accept then what?

I think the bottom line is pay the minimum you can for next 6 years after six years it will be written off 

my only q is what if creditiors don't accept my offer

Get something in place and operating.

Then you are 'stable' for say 6mts.

 

Then you can revisit

By doing an iva etc, you cant undo things.

On a salf managed dmp you can vary things.

 

Just remember if they refuse to freeze int and penalty charges in writing

Then you send letter 2 which basically says stuff you, you didn't help me as you are mandated to do.

All you'll get now is £1pcm for life.

 

Take control...it's YOUR MONEY.

I’m afraid that’s not quite correct. The statute barred clock is reset every time you make a payment.

 

if you pay them the minimum it will never go statute barred although it will disappear off your credit file after 6 years, forever invisible to any potential lender. Although they will still be enforceable.

 

If you didn’t pay anyone another penny from this day on, they would all default In a few months, and they would disappear off your credit file & be unenforceable after 6 years. AKA Statute Barred.

 

Of course during that period there is a chance the debts might get sold on and some of them might try and take you to court. Although that’s not a given, and of course you can defend.

 

Either of the 2 above options are preferable to an IVA. Bear in mind your credit file will also suffer significant damage under an IVA also. Despite throwing ridiculous, unnecessary money at it.

Read back through the advice given. You can either write to each creditor as suggested offering x amount per month.

 

Or just stop paying and let them default. Your credit will be damaged for a while but likely you won’t pay anything back ever.

 

An IVA is the worst of all worlds because they control your money, make you pay a

fortune, and damage your credit file

not sure where you have been reading but lots of the info you seem to be relying upon to make an informed decision upon what to do is extremely poor.

 

debt in the uk is not a criminal offence..

debt is a civil matter.

 

just do a very basic sheet listing your debts

and inc that with you pro rata letter I pointed too.

 

do not do an iva or any official arrangement.

who ever said to ever use the phone for any debts?

 

you use the pro rata letters.

if anyone refuses 

you use letter 2 and drop them to £1PCM for life.

 

you'll get default letters anyway
