    • Probably to do with the Creditor accepting the reduced payments claim as part of the IVA. - Thats my guess anyway.  As for the mount outstanding... 60k is incredible and im pretty sure a DRO wouldnt cover that much even after the new legislation.    For you @Alfy - Please stay headstrong and stop worrying. My viewpoint on debt with debt collectors is simple. You are a figure on a spreadsheet loaded into a database for them to run a collection cycle through.  They dont care about emotions or your situation, they just care about paying off their shareholders and trying to turn a profit.  They use varying tactics to increase the pressure on you to the point where you will break. People then fall for this an either cave in to DCAs before doing their own due diligence on the debts that are purchased or turn to IVAs like you have.    They are better ways to handle this and Im glad you feel better after a good nights sleep - I hope you can keep it up. 
    • Good afternoon,    I am writing in reference to the retail dispute number ****, between myself and Newton Autos concerning the sale of a Toyota Avensis which has been found to have serious mechanical faults.    As explained previously the car was found to be faulty just six days after purchase. The car had numerous fault codes that appeared on the dash board and went into limp mode. This required assistance from the AA and this evidence has already been provided. The car continues to exhibit these faults and has been diagnosed as having faults with the fuel injectors which will require major mechanical investigation and repairs.    Newton Autos did not make me aware of any faults upon purchase of the vehicle and sold it as being in good condition.    Newton Autos have also refused to honour their responsibilities under The Consumer Rights Act 2015 which requires them to refund the customer if the goods are found to be faulty and not fit for purpose within 30 days of purchase.    Newton Autos also refused to accept my rejection of the vehicle and refused to refund the car and accept the return of the vehicle.    It is clear to me that the car is not fit for purpose as these mechanical faults occurred so soon after purchase and have been shown to be present by both the AA and an independent mechanic.   Kind regards
    • Commercial Landlords are legally allowed to sue for early cancellation of the lease. You can only surrender your lease if your landlord agrees to your doing so. They are under no obligation even to consider your request and are entitled to refuse. You cannot use this as an excuse not to pay your rent. Your landlord is most likely to agree to your surrendering the lease if they want the property back in order to redevelop it, or if they wants to rent it to what they regards as a better tenant or at a higher rent. There are two types of surrender: Express surrender in writing. This is a written document which sets out the terms of the surrender. Implied surrender by conduct. (applies to your position) You can move out of the property you leased, simply hand your keys back and the lease will come to an end, but only if the landlord agrees to accept your surrender. Many tenants have thought they can simply post the keys through the landlord's letter box and the lease is ended. This is not true and without a document from the landlord, not only do you not know if the landlord has accepted the surrender, you also do not know on what basis they have accepted and could find they sue you for rent arrears, service charge arrears, damage to the property and compensation for your attempt to leave the property without the landlord's agreement. Unless you are absolutely certain that the landlord is agreeable to your departure, you should not attempt to imply a surrender by relying on your and the landlord's conduct.  
    • I had to deal with these last year worst DCA I have ever dealt with. Just wait for the constant threats of CCJ and how you'll lose in court and how they won't do mediation and they want the judge to question you with a load of "BIG" words to boot with the letter. My case was struck out in the end, stupidity on their part as I admitted to owing the debt in the end going through the court process was just a formality as they wouldn't let it drop despite me admitting the debt regardless. They didn't send the last part of the court paper work in so it ended up being struck out     .
    • Well, that's it then. Clear proof of the rubbish cameras. Clear proof of double dipping. G24 won't be getting a penny. Belt & braces, I would write to the address LFI has found, include the evidence of double dipping, and ask Fraser Group to call their dogs off.

    • 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.

Hi all,

just wanted to say a big hello to everyone,really !

I havent felt as positivwe as I do right now since way back in 2001,which was prior to our debt problems.

in a nutshell,my OH declared himself bankrupt after being burgaled 6 times at his business premises.we couldnt get insurance cos of being burgaled the year before and the final burgarly left us down 14K in stock.so he had no choice.

i took out loan on loan,upped my o/d with NatWest and maxxed my ccs so we could stay afloat.

basically ,when he went BR ,all his debt was cleared and mine obviously wasnt.as a result i couldnt afford to pay my loans or ccs and the buggers kept on adding charges and interest.I have a DMP through CCCS at £146 pm which i pay religiously.but i got thinking when i stumbled upon the MSE site.alot of my debt which currently stands at about £70000 is down to charges.my original NatWest o/d was £3000. it now stands at about £6000 plus i also had a loan through NatWest which was originally for £10000.it now stands at about £14000. NatWest applied for a charging order and my other creditors are following suit.

i have never wanted to be in the situation i am now in,who would ? and im not trying to get away with paying what i owe.but it really makes me so angry that these huge financial institutions just keep on making the plight of people who are struggling finacially,even worse.

thankyou so so much for this wonderful site.i feel like i can take on these giants,and maybe even win.

im starting with NatWest,but im going to try mbna(who have just applied for a charging order,hearing on 5th feb)and then the rest!

Hi and welcome to CAG.

 

There is plenty of help and support on the site, but first make sure you read the FAQ's so you are confident about what you are doing. Read around the forums as much as you can especially those relevant to your bank and your circumstances. When you start your action, begin your own thread in your bank's forum and keep it updated regularly with your progress. Post any questions there too and you will usually get a prompt reply.

 

Good Luck

Nona

Hi Thereshope.

 

I havent felt as positivwe as I do right now since way back in 2001,which was prior to our debt problems.

Ain't it a grand feeling. EMPOWERED is the word. :)

 

been on this site all day and havent even had chance to get dressed !

It has that effect on you.

 

working my way through FAQ and some of it not 'sticking' to well in my head,but i expect it will be simpler when i have a response letter back from nat west and i can work my way through the jargon.?

There is a hell of a lot of info available on this site (about the only thing I've not found are this week's lottery numbers...Oh well:rolleyes: )

 

I suggest that you spend at least a couple of days reading the FAQs and the step by step guide. That will answer most of your questions.

It will take a little time to get your head round it, but as this is a self-help forum, it will be time well spent.

If there is something that you don't understand, then please ask. The answer won't be far away. It is easier to answer a dumb question about something you don't understand than to try and correct a big blunder once your claim is under way.

 

Good luck with your claim.

 

Regards, Rooster.:)

Cheers Rooster !,

 

Feels great to be part of the gang !

 

I was talking to my very grown up 14 yr old daughter about what we were doing and how i'd been on the MSE and CAG sites and she likened the CAG and the MSE founders to modern day Robin Hoods - taking back from the big greedy corporations and giving back the power to fight for whats rightfully joe publics !

 

 

Quite a statement from a 14 yr old !!!!

 

I'm sure that I will be a regular visitor over the coming months,and you can count on my donation when I win !

Hi thereshope.

 

Keep us posted with your progress with a thread under the banks names.We can help answer questions quicker that way.

 

Before you start please have a thorough read of the FAQs (there’s a Step by Step guide here too). You should print both of these out to refer to, so as to avoid having to ask basic questions later.

 

Then look at other threads in your bank’s forum, so as you know what you can expect to happen. You can claim back your charges, and a few are trying for the payback of Early Redemption Charges on loans and Mortgages.

You need to spend 2 or 3 days gradually getting your head round everything. If you find a forum/thread/post of interest, save it in your Favourites, so as you can always find it easily.

 

There’s a lot to take in, but it’s time well spent and will ensure that you succeed in your claim without problems. Remember it’s not a race, don’t rush, just follow the guidelines one step at a time.

 

This is a self-help forum and you must be prepared to put in time and effort. It is your claim, your money and you cannot expect others to do all the work for you.

 

When you feel confident that you understand the process and the various stages involved, start a new thread in your bank’s forum and post your progress and any questions there and you’ll get plenty of help.

 

All the info to get you started is here:

Good luck
