    • I'm not sure we were on standard tariffs - I've uploaded as many proofs as I can for the ombudsman - ovo called last night uping the compensation to 100 from 50 pounds for the slip in customer service however they won't acknowledge the the problem them not acknowledging a fault has caused nor are they willing to remedy anything as they won't accept the meter or formula was wrong.   I'd appreciate more details on the economy 7 approach and I'll update the ombudsman with any information you can share. 
    • To re-iterate and highlight my urgent question on this one: The N24 from the court did not include any instructions to submit paperwork 28 days before the date, unlike the N157 received for other smaller claims. Do I have to submit a WS for this court date? Link has!...
    • No, reading the guidance online it says to wait for a letter from the court. Should I wait or submit the directions? BTW, I assume that the directions are a longer version of the particular of claim accompanied by evidence, correct?
    • 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. 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. Wonder what your advice would be given the documents they have provided? I am now in a position to clear the debt either by lump sum or a few large installments - Is this something i should look into at this late stage? 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.

    • 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.

good makes things clearer

 

if you have no assets then you could do a DRO and all debts would be wiped in 12mts.

costs £90 i think

yes dro wipes the debts

the defaults you have registered will show for 6yrs BUT the balance will be £0.

even prime lenders shouldn't be bothered about that.

I don’t think it’s the best option for me and don’t think I would qualify with earnings. I also need to move house to another rented property in feb and could affect that, it also adds another 6 years onto me not being able to get on the property ladder and it’s only 3 years until I’m 40

I know I have, these companies have had an unreal amount of money from me in interest. Thank you you have helped me so much, I really appreciate it 👏🏻
 

The SARS have gone this morning. I have printed out my CCAS and will post them with postal order at the post office tomorrow.
 

could I mither you a little more? 
 

Intrum defaulted 4.5k I offered a settlement offer of 25% and at the same time changed my payments from £250 a month to £2.54 a month. They said they could only offer me 5% but to see in time.

 

Link/Westcot defaulted 8k I offered a settlement offer of 25% and at the same time changed my payments from £282 a month to £4.19, I have yet to hear from them.

 

I have now informed them both I will only deal with them in writing because of anxiety which I have been medicated for this since 2009, this and money issues don’t mix and are I believe a cause of each other !

 

What time frame do you reckon I’ll be looking at to get a decent settlement offer if the debts are enforceable ? 
 

Many thanks again

link+PRA...

you wont have to pay a penny more if the CCA requests are unenforceable.

they cant hurt your file anymore if they are both shown as defaulted...or are you again using the wrong word....you mean defaulted on payments to the OC so the debts got sold on to Link + PRA?

just to be clear

only the Original Creditors can default the debts.... on or before sale

not the debt buyer...they have zero authority to register anything!!

 

why are these only 2018 defaults?
when did you start your reduced payment scheme whereby Halifax and tescos only got reduced amounts?

No,

I paid my DMP through StepChange where they split £950,

my two biggest creditors were my two default accounts

they were receiving £280 and £250 of the amount the month.

 

They are only 2018 defaults as I started my DMP late 2017.

 

I have gone self managed this month for control and I am really trying to research the best path.

I have split the £950 between my 4 credit card accounts that I am getting AP markers for.

So their payments per month are increased to get them paid off ASAP (6/7months)

 

I then at the same time cut the Intrum and link amounts to £2.54 and £4.19 and made settlement offers to them and explained my situation had changed...

Sent my 4 CCAs off today recorded delivery fingers crossed!

 

still confused as to why PRA group have put an end date on my credit file when it hasn’t ended, kind of hoping it acts like a default and means it drops off.

 

I want to learn more about credit files and mortgages for in the future in my position.

you didn't need to waste money on recorded if you read all the posts in the CCA request link....

 

as for the end date...

i suspect arrows didn't put that, it would have been the original creditor before sale, noting the reduced payment schedule end date from when you agreed to the scheme wit them in the 1st place.

 

but ofcourse if 12+2 working days expires without reply to any of your CCA requests, you won't be paying that DCA anything anyway till they  responds with whatever toilet paper they reply with and it's checked by us first as to enforceability.

 

as for mortgages, it is rare now that prime lenders refuse for one or two defaults esp if they are historic debts sold to DCA's.

just remember, they only see the summary line of any debt, not the calendar section and if that does show anything bad, it can't hurt your application.

 

lots of like threads to your here to read...
