Hi all, 

 

I hope I am in the right place. It's been years since I've needed advice on here so very out of practice.

 

I am hoping to gain some help for my sister.

 

Against her better judgement, she acted as guarantor for her daughter on a loan from Geroge Banco. Seems her instinct was right because daughter has stopped paying the loan so, as guarantor, my sister is now being hammered.

 

I do not have a copy of the original loan document but have attached the guarantee and indemnity agreement, having removed identifying names etc.

 

Please, can anyone help out here or direct me to the right place?

 

Personally I do not think the loan should have been granted as my niece is on benefits and clearly couldn't afford the repayments. 

 

Many thanks all.

As  guarantor  she can request a copy (she should have a copy anyway at the time of signing the Guarantee) of the loan agreement pursuant to section 77 of the consumer credit act 1974.

 

Quote

Note: Following signature of this guarantee and indemnity, the Guarantor will be provided with a copy of the Agreement within seven working days. Throughout the term of the Agreement, the Creditor shall, within 12 working days of receiving a written request from the Guarantor and upon payment of a fee of £1, give to the Guarantor: • a copy of the executed Agreement; • a copy of the Guarantee; and • a statement signed by or on behalf of the Creditor showing, according to the information to which it is practicable for the Creditor to refer:

(i) the total sum paid under the Agreement by the Debtor; (ii) the total sum which has become payable under the Agreement by the Debtor but remains unpaid, and the various amounts comprised in that total sum, with the date when each became due, and (iii) the total sum which is to become payable under the Agreement by the Debtor, and the various amounts comprised in that total sum, with the date when each becomes due.

That would be my first step and see if they can comply.

"Thank you for your letter, I just wanted to let you know we have received this. I'd also like to thank you for the cheque you have sent along with your letter but we do not charge for the documentation you have requested, so I have returned this cheque to yourself. 

 
To ensure this is passed to the correct department would you be able to advise me on the nature and reason as to why you'd like this documentation? 
 
Please also confirm if you would like these documents sent via post or email? As email will be a quicker response for yourself as post will take 3-5 working days to arrive. 
 
 
Kind regards"

Playing for time response...they know exactly why you have requested it or should if they understand the Credit Consumer Act.

Your choice how you wish to receive it but the clocks ticking from the date you requested it...12 + 2 days then they are in default.

Thanks Andy, that's what I thought, they know exactly what they are doing, but I didn't know how to respond. As for knowing which department to pass it to hmmmm. Do we have to give a reason as to why we've requested it? My gut feeling is no. So just respond saying whether email or post?

Put your cheque back in with the response...if you don't offer/make payment the statutory request is not legally valid.....don't want to give them a further delay option.

Hi there,

 

well my sister finally heard back from George Banco, they were within the 12+2 day time period. They returned the £1 postal order (again) so no payment accepted.

 

I'll attach the files below, so grateful if you could caste an eye over them and fingers crossed something is wrong with them.

 

My poor sister is in full blown anxiety about being left with this awful debt. She also said the figures stated in the credit file bear no resemblance to what she earns, how long she's worked etc, she doesn't remember filling any figures out or being asked for salary details, benefits etc. 

 

Many thanks in advance.

They would find that difficult without first issuing a court claim...getting a CCJ...threatogram. You cant execute a judgment until you have one.

i would suspect one has already been sent?

 

get her to check her credit file please

 

as for bailiffs read the letter properly , it doesn't say will anything.

and any dca are not bailiffs  they are powerless muppets.

 

whilst on the subject of her credit file

when she took this loan out was her files shot with lots of other loans/cards/debts? with late/ no payments and defaults?

 

if she could not afford the loan from the get go, they should not of loaned to her and there could well be a god case for raising an irresponsible lending complaint that could wipe it out totally or dent whats owed by a good 50%

 

tell use a bit more of its history.

I'm pretty confident that the Guarantor must also be served a Default Notice pursuant to the CCA1974 sec 87/88 before legal proceedings can commence.

Definitely no default notice served as yet. My sister has just checked her credit file and the score for the period when she became guarantor was 437 (out of a possible 700), no defaults or late payments at that time.

 

The following month she went into default with an MBNA credit card, that was the only other credit she had, apart from a phone contract.

 

The original loan was in her daughter’s name. Her daughter is on benefits and had a terrible credit history which is why she needed a guarantor.

 


My sis received an email from George Banco

Hi xxx,
Arrears £194.92
I hope you are well.

We have been trying to contact you regarding the arrears on your account. Please can you update us on your current circumstances? 

We may have options available to help you.  In order to identify the best solution for you please contact us as soon as possible. I would be happy to deal with the account over email or over the phone. 

Thanks,

 

 

Any suggestions gratefully received. Many thanks in advance.

 

P.S. my sister clearly cannot afford the repayments either, she is on her bones. She said no one asked for her financial details at the time and the figures on the paperwork bear no relation to her salary or benefits. Is this a possible path to go down?

And no default marker placed on credit file from Everyday Lending Ltd ? I would suggest the lender is in a pickle rather than your Sister :-)

The FCA has stated that a lender should not expect disciplinary action to be taken solely on the basis that it has taken payment from a guarantor without issuing a default notice to both a borrower and a guarantor, where the lender had taken this action during the period from 28 September 2015 to 19 February 2016.

 

However, if a lender has taken payment from a guarantor without issuing a default notice after this period, disciplinary action may be taken by the FCA.

 

It is advised that firms amend their working practices and adopt the revised view held by the FCA in the Guidance. A default notice should be served on a guarantor before a payment is demanded or taken from the guarantor. Failure to do so could risk enforcement action by the FCA.
