    • The only way to verify whether there is any financial reward for the management is seeing the agreement. That would be required during disclosure IF court proceedings went ahead... Unless you could bring pressure to bear and get a copy?
    • god they've got at you haven't they. told you all the usual utter BS. a CCJ vanishes from your credit file on it's 6th B'Day regardless to being paid off or not or paying or not. same with any debt with a registered defaulted date - it vanishes from your file on the DN's 6th B'day regardless. creditfix are Knightsbridge, (they renamed) there are 100's of threads here on Knightsbridge, if i remember rightly 2 of the directors of a certain very big IVA provider were struck off for embezzling £1m's out of debtors. pers i'd stop paying now.  end of . just ignore them all. 99% of your debts are to utterly powerless DCA's and probably were never owed in the first place only goes to firm up my belief from post one..you got had blind. its very easy to deal with the debts even those with CCJ's. can you copy and paste what you credit file says regarding the IVA please?

    • Sorry I meant credit fix - I really wish I'd known this before - kicking myself right now  If they come back to me asking for more money I'll cancel it and start trying to deal with the debt myself let's see what they say  Feeling tempted to cancel it now but scared that some of the debts will do more CCJ's on me and I'll have to wait 6 years again.  2 of the CCJ come of this year and then I'll only have the iva in credit file - effectively if I'd have not took out the iva in 2021 I'd have clear score by now - but then again would I because I would have been hounded the last 3 years, as bad as it is it's saves me lots of headaches whilst my debt was still within the 6 year mark.  I think most of them are near there but in all honesty no point chasing them if I do cancel iva I'd jjst wait for the ones who contact me and then start the relevant letter process on them.  Of over 6 years easy if not still possible to write off. My true victory would be having the iva wiped off my credit file as mis sold or something that way I Don't have to wait till 2027 Other option is to fight back and ask for them to offer the creditors to accept payments so far and use the following method    Will your IVA firm agree to complete your IVA on the basic of funds paid to date? The Guidance lists a lot of factors to be considered in deciding whether a settlement on the basis of funds paid to date should be proposed. You should read the list. But that may not give you any feel for whether they apply to you or not. The following are my thoughts on when an IVA should be treated as settled, not failed. They assume that you have £75 or less to pay a month: if you would currently qualify for a Debt Relief Order, then your IVA should be settled now  There is no point in making your IVA fail and you have to apply for a DRO – it will not generate another penny for your creditors. If you are renting and owe less than £50,000, check the DRO criteria now and talk to National Debtline on 0808 808 4000 about whether you qualify. You may have been told at the start of your IVA that you aren’t eligible – still check now as the DRO criteria have changed, your situation has got worse, and some people were given incorrect information about DROs at the start. if you have no assets that would be realised in bankruptcy (eg a house with equity, car worth over £2000), then your IVA should be settled now Same as (1), there is no point in making you apply for bankruptcy after your IVA fails. if your only asset is a car that is worth less than £8000, then your IVA should be settled now A car that is worth say £5000 would normally be sold in bankruptcy and you would be given a small amount to buy a cheaper car. But your creditors would not get any benefit from this as the Insolvency Service takes the first £8000 raised to cover its own costs. if you have significant assets, the closer you are to the end of the IVA, the less reasonable it is to fail it If you have been paying your IVA for 4 years, you have done your best over a long period. It isn’t your fault you can no longer continue. The fact you may have had equity to release isn’t relevant as that simply isn’t going to be possible. if your situation will clearly improve soon, then it’s unlikely your IVA will be settled I mean real improvements, not hoping that prices fall. If I can get them to accept payment to date or threaten with cancellation hopefully they may accept it -  Other option is to try and borrow money and pay make a full and final offer  Or I can just ignore and hope for the best which I'm very tempted to do especially if they respond to my review with bullying tactics despite me being skint as a fart with no mortgage as renting  It's so stressful but I've just checked the iva agreement from 2021 and it's Cabot 2 accounts Lowell about 5 accounts and then lots of repeats of the same debt with for example zopa and Cabot same amount listed twice -  also loyyds banks but I'm sure that's older than 6 years and not on credit file anyway  If I can somehow remove the iva from my credit file I'd be happy

    • 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,

 

I have been recommended this site for some help. I am currently helping my father who has some credit card debts. I have written to all the comapnys with the budget sheet offer of payment etc. i have also written with full and fianl settlement offers. the progress is slow but all the debt is currently with the origianl companys bar one. His american Express debt has been refferred to allied international credit.

 

They have sent us a letter and on the outstanding balance they have added a £289.43 referral fee (is this right?). I have been called as i am acting on behalf of my father and the man i spoke to was extremley rude to me. I have offered them a final payment of £1000 for a debt of £1607.92 exc refferral fee. I have had no further communication accept calls bar the original letter.

 

Can any help me where do I go from here I am able to raise some more money to help my father but i dont see why he should pay the refferal fee they are just pushing him more and more into debt.

 

Any advise would be really appreciated

Thanks

Hi Pink...Welcome to this wonderful site

 

The best thing you can do first and foremost is have a good old read of the site...There's loads you can do re these CC debts...First and foremost you need to send a CCA request to allied (Templates in library)..Then you'll have to go about reclaiming all the unlawful charges the CC companies have no doubt levied on his accounts..They'll all need a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request) , again templates in Library...Before all that,, have a read around (as I said)...You'll get all the help you need right here...

Allied are a bunch of bullying cowboys. Search this site for other threads about them and you'll soon see what they are like.

 

Have a read, then send them the CCA letter as previously advised. This will stall them cos I'd bet that they don't have the original agreement. No agreement= no right to chase your father for the debt. And never phone them, they are little more than dial-a-monkey!!

 

And also as previously suggested, start claiming back all the unlawful charges imposed by the credit card companies.

 

Good luck and just ask if you need any more help.

Also, if they are phoning you, you can stop this happening as well. There is a template letter to send them. Its the telephone harrassment letter.

 

Here is the link

If they do not stop calling you, you can report them to the police. But in the meantime send the two letters suggested, sit back, read as much as you can and start claiming back the charges.

Hi

 

Thanks for the advice I reallt appreciate it can you point me in the direction of the CCA letter cannot seem to find it.

 

Thanks

 

Send this. Dont forget to enclose £1 postal order and send recorded delivery

 

 

 

Your address

Their address

xxx February 2007

Your Ref: xxxxxxxxxxxxx

To Whom It May Concern

I do not acknowledge ANY debt to your company.

 

I require you to supply the following documentation before I will correspond further on this matter.

 

1. You must supply me with a true copy of the alleged agreement you refer to. This is my right under your obligation to supply a copy of the agreement under the legislation contained within s.78 (1) Consumer Credit Act 1974 (s.77 (1) for fixed sum credit) - your obligation also extends to providing a statement of account. I enclose a £1 postal order in payment of the statutory fee.

 

2. A signed true copy of the deed of assignment of the above referenced agreement that you allege exists.

 

3. You are notified that you are obliged to supply these documents, whether you are the original creditor or not under S189 of the CCA 1974.

 

Non-compliance with my request is a criminal offence under the above Act and will result in a report being submitted to the relevant statutory authorities.

 

As you are aware, a credit agreement that is not properly documented and signed by the customer is totally unenforceable under the CCA and therefore is a complete defence to any court claim that is issued.

 

Take note at this stage, that any legal action you may contemplate will be both vigorously defended and contested.

 

 

Yours Faithfully

Don't offer them anything at the moment, send the CCA request as above.

Please note: I give advice, in good faith, based on my reading and experience. Please satisfy yourself, that any advice given is accurate in content before acting upon it.

Can only endorse what has been said already

 

Absolutely awful company, obnoxious, rude, told me to re-mortgage the house to pay off a credit card debt

 

On the plus side if they haven't actually bought the debt I suspect they will get fed up and pass it back

 

In my experience all their threats are empty ones

Hi, thanks will do

 

Not sure about the others some have accepted monthly payments some havn't and keep calling but we just keep sending the affordable monthly amount. The money i raised works out to only a sixth for full and final so not holding out any hope. Some kept charging late payment fees after we had written to them.

 

My next step was to offer the smaller debts a bit more to try and pay them off and then look again at the others a poss look into a loan but doubt he would get one. Just trying to help as much as poss I have my own home so it is difficult but tryng hardest to help my Dad out.

 

Am a little bit lost but the one with allied was the one that was worrying me so at least we have set something in motion on that.

 

Thanks again

Hi everyone,

 

just looking through some of my Dads paperwork and it appears that some of his cards are continuing to charge for late payments intrest etc.

 

I am going to write to the cards that havnt accepted his proposed monthly payments again is it worth me sending them all the same letter I have sent to allied about the credit agreeement? If they cannot produce it would that mean they cannot enforce?

 

Sorry think I am getting a bit confused can anyone advice

If you can afford it (all at once) then send them all a SAR...Templates in library..Include £10 and send recorded...They'll send you all the statements from that card and you can work out how much they owe your Dad :)

Hi,

 

It has now been 12 days since i sent the letter to allied and nothing has been received and we have not been contacted. the only strange thing that did happen was American express sent a letter saying the insurance protection had been cancelled. This was a letter out the blue as we have had no correspondence prior to this. May just be a conincidence

 

What do i do now do I ignore them as they have not provided anything?

 

Should i still be making the proposed payments to allied?

 

My mom is comig up later with some letters received from some of the other creditors that are apparently quite nasty saying we have been recontinuing to spend on the card and it is them charging him for being over his limit even though i have continued to ask for charges to be stopped. I cannot beleive the cheek of them they are putting him over his limit by charging intrest and late payment charges then they are charging him again for being over the limit. - Think these are the first people i will send the SAR to.

If Allied have had 12 working days since receipt of the CCA then stop paying them- they are in default. When, and only when, they produce the PROPER Original Agreement, then you can think about payments again.

OK thanks so much,

 

Hope you dont mind can I run through the other cards for info?

 

BARCLAYCARD

I have got the letters now from mercers as my dad has 2 barclaycards. they are asking for min amounts of £346.90 & £532.36. They quote the terms of the agreement and tat we are over our agreed spending limit despite not using the card for years it is their charges that have put him over the limit and they continue to charge us for this. So I am going to send these two the SAR letter next to see exactly how much we have been charged things like this. Is this right I assume i will have to send £10 per account?

 

HFC BANK

Also HFC have sent us a default notice i thought they would agree a DMP but keep asing for proof of earning/outgoings etc and continue to charge and agree say we have exceeded credit limit when i informed them of the situation we were under the agreed limit. think these will be next for SAR when we can afford it?

 

BANK OF SCOTLAND

Are ignoring me and continue to charge £25 late payment as well as everything else we are sending them our affordale amount. Another candiate for SAR?

 

LLOYDS

Have agreed a DMP - OK

 

CAPITAL 1

Small amount have managed to raise enough to pay off but want to cinfirm that will be the end as they have said the amount to settle the account is only partial even though it is the full balance - OK

 

AM EXPRESS/ALLIED

Will do as suggested as they are now in default - Thanks

 

Marks & Spencer

Would agree payment we could afford i made a full and final and they wrote to say they would consider if other creditors accepted but no one did i am going to write to these to ask them to consider again so this is OK at moment

 

MORGAN STANLEY

Have agreed DMP - OK

 

thanks so much for all your help i cannot tell you how much easier it is knowing you are there to help out with your advice - Thanks:)

SAR the one's you can afford, start with the one's you think have the highest amount of charges on....

 

Just try to remain positive and think of all the charges you're going to be able to reclaim...You're going about things the right way. BTW, wouldn't hurt to CCA them all (Especially HFC, Cap1 and M & S)

Help!!

 

today my dad has received a letter from a solicitor saying they have been instructed by Allied Int to issue legal proceedings, if my dad wishes to avoid court we should conatact AIC to make full payment or phone to discuss. There will be no further warnings and we have 7 days to respond.

 

all contact must go to AIC.

 

Also the O/S balance has gone up by £26 as well as the £300 AIC have already added on.

 

What do I do

 

American Express have also sent my Day update to his terms and conditions

  • Warrant of execution by bailiff to seize goods
  • Charging order or bankruptcy

I feel so down yesterday HFC agreed reduced payments and then today we get this. I can just about raise this money i dont know wether to just pay it as i think my Mom is really stressed.

 

sorry just dont know what to do and cannot get this out my head:(

Good Morning!

 

Don't worry too much about the letters that are being received by your parents. They are just standard letters that are designed to intimidate and press you into paying or contacting them or even acknowledging the debt. And those threats can not be carried out without going through a court first of all.

 

One quick question, did you send the CCA request to AIC via recorded delivery and including the £1 postal order?

 

MM

Send me your mice!!

:D
