    • 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 all... to give some background:

 

- DLC have been continously chasing me for a debt they are pursuing for HD

- I sent letter on 27th Feb saying don't harrass me or I'll report to TS and OFT

- Above letter also contained standard CCA request

- Royal Mail indicate that letter was delivered on 28th Feb (12 working day rule therefore was 15th March; 30 days = 7th April)

 

Now, on the 7th March, I received a letter (dated 5/3/07) from Hillesden Securities Ltd which advised the following points:

 

1. Acknowledges receipt of the £1 payment re: CCA request

 

2. This account has been assigned to Hillesden Securities T/A Direct Legal & Collections to collect on our clients behalf

 

3. Your request under the CCA 1974 would normally be made direct to the client that legally owns the account, in this case Egg Banking PLC, however we will put a request in to them on your behalf for the documentation required

 

4. If we are unable to forward a copy of the original agreement, we will be able to supply a true copy of the document which will comply with s78 of CCA 1974.

 

I will update you in 21 days if there are no developments beforehand.

 

So I guess my questions to you all are - are DLC/Hillesden now in default, or does the above constitute an acceptable response? What exactly do they mean by point 4? What should I do come 7th April if I haven't received a response?

 

A point to note is that I've cancelled my Standing Order to DLC as I assume that they have defaulted... is this the correct thing to do?!

 

Thanks in anticipation guys...

... and their point is ?

 

3. Your request under the CCA 1974 would normally be made direct to the client that legally owns the account, in this case Egg Banking PLC, however we will put a request in to them on your behalf for the documentation required

 

A CCA request is made to the company attempting to collect payments. if they have been collecting on behalf of Egg, then the CCA went to the right place.

 

4. If we are unable to forward a copy of the original agreement, we will be able to supply a true copy of the document which will comply with s78 of CCA 1974.

 

It has to be a true copy of your Agreement, signed by yourself..... so take no notice of this garbage.

 

I will update you in 21 days if there are no developments beforehand.

It sounds as if they haven't got it... but are trying to make you think that you will still be liable. If 12 working days pass and they have not complied with your request, then you are within your rights to withhold payment.... there is no need to wait for the additional calendar month.

 

As they have already defaulted, you were right to cancel the SO.

  • 3 weeks later...

well today is the 30 day deadline when DLC/Hillesden commit an offence and nothing's come through the post...

 

Incidentally, their payment was due on 1st April but as they defaulted I cancelled the Standing Order. Haven't heard anything from them.

 

I suppose that the next step is to report to TS?

I had pretty much the same letter from them 10days after I sent them my CCA request on teh 8th February.

 

I've heard nothing more since that letter.

But all record of the default and DLC has since disappeared from my credit file.

 

Me too PeteT. What d'you reckon? Is it gone for good? ;)

I'm gonna push to get it written off as a point of pricipal anyway.

I had several months of problems with them and I even after I offered them a F&F settlement of more than 80% and they flattley refused it!

Today I received a letter from Hillesden basically stating the same as the one I received on 7th March...this one confirms (I paraphrase):

 

1. Hillesden aka DLC are an agency collecting on behalf of Egg therefore no deed of assignment.

 

2. Enclosed are statements from 2/4/06 to 2/3/07 as requested [cresswell80: I never requested these??!!]

 

3. We're still awaiting a copy of the original agreement with Egg - bear with us, we'll contact you in 21 days.

 

So my response to all this is going to be a letter to the guy at Hillesden with the "debt chaser" woman at DLC copied in saying "screw you"... then a letter to TS with both at Hillesden and DLC copied in.. then see if it goes away...

hehehe - I was told in a my last letter dated 16th February that I'd get a follow up in 21 days......2nd March is but a distant memory and no follow up.

 

I sent them a letter today based on the letter in this thread:

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/general-debt/82110-littlewoods-default-removal.html

 

I took out the chuck about requiring a final decision and the chunk about the s10 as they have already complied with that.

 

I was also cheeky and tried it on and said that I was in a position to take the case to Northants TS and OFT, who would be very interested to hear about yet another case involving them. As the potential fine makes my debt look like pittance I may not tell them of their criminal act if I find that in the next 2 weeks I debt happened to be discharged.

 

I doubt they will but they may come back with a very good offer to clear it. I did offer them ex gratia (and thankfully without prejudice) 80% as F&F and they refused it point blank just before Xmas.

Had a reply today...

 

Usual blah blah introduction.

 

"I can confirm and advise the following:

 

1. The offense of not supplying the information requested in a time period stated in the legistlation can be remidied by producing the documents. {Erm, unless you intend on travelling back in time once you have the documents then the offense has already been commited and can't remedy that!} This we intend to do and have followed up your request to the original lender of a copy of your original agreement. {Well that should appear in the SAR I'm about to send to both the Original Creditor and DLC}

 

2. Account on hold...... yada yada

 

3. In view of our inability to supply a copy document at this time {or any time} we will remove our entries recording with all Credit Reference Agencies until such time that a copy agreement is supplied. {You already did this as soon as I CCA'd you and you realised you were screwed}

 

Should you require anything further at this time, please do not hesitate to contact me.

  • 3 weeks later...

well judging by your posts above Pete, DLC responded within the week to you - they've had mine for two weeks now and not heard a thing.

 

I gave them 21 days to provide me with a decision on this - what should my next step be? Chase DLC? Report to 3rd party - TS?

I forgot to update this thread....

 

Got a response to my cheeky letter about a weeks or so latter.

 

They replied and said that they could reverse the breach by supplying the requested info at any time, at that it's still their intention to do so and that they'd prompt the client again.

 

Ha!!! You think you can "reverse" a parking ticket for non payment by then walking up to a machine and buying a ticket for the day?? I dont think so. You are in breach and you have committed an offense - period.

 

A couple of weeks ago I received a single piece of paper, no compliments slip or covering letter, with a printout of the running account balance.

Over 3months gone by and no CCA. I'd love them to find the CCA and I'll force them to take it to court and let them explain why it's so late.

 

I've been meaning to contact Northans TS, but I've been really busy.

If you've CCA'd them, then give them the 12 working days, then the 1 calender month and then contact TS straight away.

ok...new response received today:

 

1. the offence of not supplying the information requested in the time period stated in the legislation can be remedied by producing the documents. This we intend to do and have followed up our request to the original lender for a copy of your original agreement.

 

2. A copy statement of account was sent to you on 16th April 2007.

 

3. Your account is on hold and all further action has been suspended pending documentation from our client. As soon as the copy agreement becomes available, it will be forward (sic) to you.

 

4. We do not report your account to the Credit Reference Agencies as we are an agency collecting on behalf of our client, therefore the entry will be recorded by Egg Banking themselves.

 

i'm particularly disappointed by point 4 as PeteT has his default wiped...

 

could anyone give me some guidance on my next steps/response to this??

 

thanks

BULL**** for 2 reasons

 

1)

and 2)

 

". In view of our inability to supply a copy document at this time we will remove our entries recording with all Credit Reference Agencies until such time that a copy agreement is supplied."

 

 

therefore the entry will be recorded by Egg Banking themselves.

 

This could be true. I had a default for the original creditor and this was removed and DLC (well Hillsden) replaced it with theirs as above.

This is what was removed from my credit file.

 

 

Forgot to mention - rapidly approaching 4 months and no CCA.
