    • 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

 

Thanks for your welcomes and good wishes. I have been reading everything I can find on this site for a week now and after lengthy discussions with my husband (joint account) we decided to go ahead and fight our corner.

 

I am very indecisive in nature and even though I might be doing everything right I tend to need reassurance so I will be looking for help and reassurance from you all.

Hi catmaddy and welcome. I'm sure you will have worked out that YB are not the easiest to fight, but if you stand firm and ignore the intimidation you will win. You will certainly get plenty of moral, as well as practical support here, so don't be deterred.

The standard reply.

 

It has taken them 14 days to respond to my original request. 26 days and counting.

Update: Received 6/4/07 a letter from Yorkshire Bank Advice Quality Unit - Charges Section dated 4/4/07.

 

I refer to our previous correspondence acknowledging receipt of your request for details of charges and/or statements relating to your bank account(s).

 

Within the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998 we have 40 days in which to provide you with the information we hold. The end of this time period has almost been reached, however, due to the high volume of requests we have received in relation to this high profile issue, I regret that we are not yet able to provide you with the information requested.

 

Whilst you are within your rights to refer the matter to the Information Commissioner at the end of the 40 day period, I confirm that we shall provide you with the information as soon as we possibly can.

 

I thank you for your continued patience and understanding in this matter.

 

Yours sincerely

 

T.G. Rayner

 

Advice Quality Unit - Charges Section

 

Their last paragraph infuriated me :mad: .

 

Where was the Yorkshire Bank's patience and understanding when I asked them to lay off the bank charges as I could not feed my family and had to rely on hand outs from family members (the mother in law)?

 

I have my complaint ready for the Information Commissioner and just need to get photocopies of the relevant bits.

 

Anything further.

Hi Clare

 

I got the same letter from them and then they all came the day after the 40 days was up. When's your 40 days up? How many days over the 40 are they now?

Just got the lovely task of going through all my statements now, though the ones I have gone through aren't as lucrative as I was hoping lol :cool:

Hi Catmaddy

I am at the same stage as you are. I just got the second letter today about not meeting forty day deadline. Did you send your complaint and a letter to them after the 40 days or did the statements arrive before you did this. I am in two minds really I am on day 36 but when it gets to day 40 I dont really want to leave it as they seem to be a real pain having read through a few threads. On the other hand alot of work if they are likely to turn up a day or two after.

Hi twosue

 

I had my form completed for the Information Commissioner but was waiting until I went back to work on Monday 15th (had a week off with the kids) to photocopy the relevant correspondence. It took them 45 days to send copies from 2001 - 2005. I will probably wait until mid week next week, as they say 2005 to present are on their way shortly from a different source.

 

I have just gone through 2001 - 2005 and highlighted all charges and entered these onto a spreadsheet ready for my letter to the Yorkshire requesting my charges back.

 

Good luck with your claim and keep us informed.

 

Clare.

How long ago did you open your account catmaddy? If it's more than 6 years you should get the earlier info too. The SAR asks for the history and doesn't limit it to 6 years.

Hi Caro

 

Not sure of the exact date when account opened but it was around 1993/94. I have been reading on site about claiming for more than 6 years. It looks like YB are only sending out statements for the last 6 years.

 

It did state in my SAR that we were requesting a complete list of transactions and charges relating to our banking history with YB. YB did respond and say they would comply with my request. I will write to YB stating that they have not yet fully complied with my request as I require statements from when account opened up to 2001.

 

We are probably going to have to split this claim into two as from 2001 to 2005 we are already nearing £4,000, then there is the 8% interest added when we take them to court (which is extremely likely) and we want to got through the small claims. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would be very cautious about splitting the claim as it has caused problems in Scotland, and I wouldn't be surprised if it might in England and Wales too in future. The risk of going over £5,000 and outside the small claims track is probably less than the risk of splitting the claim in my opinion.

 

If you haven't done so already, read the stickys that have been put at the top of this forum, primarily by BankFodder and you'll see the best way to proceed there, especially in light of the Whistleblower programme.

 

Take a look, and if you have any questions as a result post them and we'll try to help.

Hi Clare,

 

Caro is right there is nothing to be scared of in using fast track. A claim for 37K was paid out yesterday (not YB). If anything the banks are more scared of fast track because of the disclosure rules.

 

If you split the claim there is a chance that the second claim will be struck out as an abuse of process.

 

All the best
