    • Hi @LilMissM   I guess you could call me our resident CIFAS Specialist - Personally have been through all of what you have and now have come out the other side when my marker fell off in May 2023. For a start Monzo may close your account but as I had a Marker for App Fraud (Vodafone ended up making a whole hoohah of the account I had with them) - I was with them and still am from Oct 2017 till today. And not once did they close my account. I actually spoke to a couple of current account providers at the time that I had accounts with - Nationwide and Barclays - Told them what was going on and provided all the evidence to them. They advised they may do so but it was highly unlikely now that they understood why it happened and what I was doing to fight it.    Anyway - On to your marker. MCB is My Community Bank?  I can say to you that on experience that On Monday you can be on top of the world then on Tuesday you whole life changes in a flash of an eye. Suddenly you cant pay your bills, Work isnt feasible and you are left with no other choice but to scrape by.  If this has happened to you, then join the club.  - Why is this important? Well Financial institutions get one whiff of potential fraud and you are guilty without a chance to respond. You found out the hard way   If it sounds like I'm waffling, I'm not - Its important to your issue. They have deemed you guilty by the fact that no payments have been made and potentially entered into a loan agreement knowing looking not to pay (Although thats how it may appear, there will always be factors against that)    First off - Questions - What Category of Marker do you have? If unsure, check my signature for a Credit File Guide which will tell you all you need to know about what Categories apply.  - When did you raise the complaint? They will have 8 weeks to respond. More on this in a mo.  - Do you have Correspondence / Audit Trails of communications showing that you were in severe financial strain due to an event AFTER you took the loan?   My next suggestions, Send this complaint to the CEOs office - CEOEMAIL.COM Let them make the decision as per the Complaint Procedure. Then if they refuse to remove the marker. take it to the FOS who can force the company to remove it if found in favour.  Some companies do need a slap or 2 once in a while to bring them down a peg. You could be looking at this right now.   
    • Other case law relied upon " On other record of reasons "
    • Page 2 – document 10 and 11 – you should include the fact that it is a Law reform commission report. Best to give it its full name if you can I suggest that you move paragraph 10 up to the first position – paragraph 5 and move everything down. I think other than that – it is good to go. I suggest you don't bother to do any more drafts. Simply rearrange the paragraphs as I suggested above then the title of the documents that you are relying on in the index page. Send it off and post your final version here so that everybody can see. I'm sorry about the delay. Thanks for reminding me
    • I have recently found myself in financial difficulties and with the help of forum members in another thread regarding this, I think I can get myself sorted. My query here is how to deal with a Cifas marker that has been logged against me by one of my creditors for "evasion of payment". Admittedly yes I did get a £5000 loan with them and have not paid any payment but at the start of the year, which is when the loan landed, I realised I was going to be struggling to repay that and other debts and I contacted MCB to ask if there was any way I could extend the loan from 24 months to 36 months. I explained my situation and that I was going with a DMP and asked them if they could help me with this. They did not reply. I then emailed them again a month later explaining that my DMP was going ahead and could they confirm that the direct debit was indeed cancelled. Again, they did not reply. The DMP fell apart and so did everything else thereafter. My bank withdrew my overdraft and said I could not stay with them (I thought initially that it was because of the DMP) so I opened another account (Starling) and set up all my direct debits etc with the new bank. A month into being with the new bank, they contacted me and said they were closing my account in three months. So I started applying for other basic accounts and every single one of them either refused or revoked.  Through the help in the other thread, I requested a SAR from Cifas and discovered that I have this marker against my name for "evasion of payment". I have logged a complaint with MCB on the advice of other forum members, but my query really is do you think the marker is fair given that I did ask them for help and I did explain that I was going to be struggling financially to repay the loan over the original two years, and is there any way that I can get it removed? I fully admit that I have yet to make a payment to them and I suppose in my naivety and panic I thought if I emailed them early on they could extend the loan and help me out, but they didn't even reply  I did manage to open an account with Monzo before the marker was in place, but I am very concerned that if Monzo do what Starling did, I will have no bank account to pay my bills or get my wages paid into.  Realistically based on the information I have given here, what do you think my chances are of getting this marker removed? Any help/advice on this would be greatly appreciated x
    • Thank you dx, that is what I intend to do now. I have gone through all the SAR documents, a lot of which I am seeing for the first time! As per my previous post #116 letters and statements alleged to have been sent to me, as recorded on their system notes I have not received. Letters I have sent requesting information and account statements have not been recorded as being received by them, all were sent either by Recorded or Special Delivery. I have all the proof you menrtioned from my files for payments and from their SAR info for fees added. Thanks t

    • 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 guys

Can I first say a big hello and thank-you to the CAG website, who without you I would not be pursuing my claim against Nationwide`s unfair bank charges.

I have been a “loyal” customer for 12 years having my wages paid in my flex account .However I am paid every 4 weeks so my pay day each month moves throughout the year which is a big problem when it comes to direct debits & standing orders which go out on a fixed day in the month as much as I tried I never seemed to have enough money to cover all the monthly direct debits spread throughout the month and of course Nationwide were very helpful when I complained about the unjust charges & how they can reject a DD for £28.00 when I had £26.80 in the account but charge Me £30.00 and then £20.00 for an unauthorised overdraft. I have just submitted MCOL on the 25/04/2007 after receiving 2 bog standard letters fobbing Me off after sending both the preliminary approach letter & the LBA I have followed this site advice and feel that I am not alone ……..thanks again

Hi Guys

Just a quick follow up received a notice of issue stating that my claim was issued on 26/04/2007;the defendant (Nationwide) has until 15/05/2007 to reply.

Received today 10/05/2007 “Notice that Acknowledgment of service has been filed”

However I did not receive a copy, & the letter had a line through the passage “a copy of which is attached” is that normal?

The defendant (Nationwide) now has 28 days from the date of service of the claim form to file a defence (fingers crossed now)

Can anyone tell me is the date of service the date the claim was issued (26/04/2007) or the date is was deemed to be served on?

Will let you know what happens next

Regards

Mecanician

Hi

Just wondered if anyone could give me some advice?

I filed a claim against Nationwide on 26/04/07 via MCOL I received a notice of issue, which states the claim was deemed to be served on the 01/05/07.

I then received the acknowledgement of service of my claim, stating that the defendant (Nationwide) has 28 days to file a defence, on the 03/05/07.

Since then I have received nothing, no information from the court that Nationwide intends to defend, no letters from solicitors or Nationwide. I have checked my bank account everyday but nothing has been refunded as of today (24/05/2007).

Is there anything to worry? About only claimants against Nationwide all have a different story to tell.

WON TODAY!!!! :D

I’ve just checked my account tonight (24/05/07) at 23.00hrs and Nationwide have paid into my account the amounts of £999.99

+ £999.99

+ £999.99

+ £999.99

+ £939.54

+ £298.97 (I think these are my court fees) :o

+ £999.00

Grand Total £6237.47 this is the correct amount plus cost and interest that I claimed.

So far though I have had no correspondence from Nationwide or their solicitors regarding, my claim against them. I don’t know what Nationwide`s intentions might be now whether I will have to close my account with remains to be seen, what I have done is more or less closed the account myself, with all my wages being now paid into another account with the Halifax, and with some of the money that was paid into my account tonight paid off my overdraft.

Now I take it is my responsibility to inform MCOL (Northampton County Court) that is my next point of call tonight.

I feel I must thank everyone connected with CAG without you guys, and all the people in the Nationwide forum, I don’t think my claim would have got of the ground!

And although I did not subscribe many posts I read many!

Once again Thank-You

Well done mecanician....:) My claim was acknowledged on 9th May with intent to defend. Have heard nothing so far. You were paid out 21 days after acknowledgement I think? That makes it 30th May for me maybe, however I've got a feeling Ill be one of the unlucky ones whose claim actually goes to a court date! Fingers crossed for me, and congratulations to you again:)

Libby. Also recieved my acknowledgement of service on the 9th May stating Eversheds would be defending my claim. Have since sent them a scedule of charges as well as sending the court a copy. Getting nervous. 12 days to go. Keep checking my bank account every two hours just in case. Why do I get the feeling it will be me having to stand up in court ?? Good luck with your claim !!

No need to do anything yet - you'll get a letter from the court stating that NW's defence is that they have paid in full - there's a box to tick to say you're happy and don't want to take things any further. Do that and send it back to the court and it's all done..

 

Well done!

Hi All, we have been reading this forum for quite a while and finally plucked up the courage to take the Nationwide to court having had what sounds like the usual 'fob off' letter from our first and second letters we sent them together with the spreadsheet of bank charges and interest.

 

We issued the claim through Moneyclaimonline on 10/05/07 and received a notice of issue a few days latter, stating it would be deemed as served as of 15/05/07, then on 15/05/07 we received an acknowledgment of service and Eversheds LLP are intending to defend all of the claim. Two questions (1) does this mean they have 28 days from the 15/05/07 to put in a defence and if not will they have to pay up before 12/06/07. (2) Do we have to do anything else at this stage as 'Ackers' has confused me a bit by stating he has sent the court a copy of his schedule of charges. Do we need to do this as well or will the copy the Nationwide has been sent suffice.

 

Like everyone else now since the Lloyds verdict we are very nervous and just know that we will be the next ones to lose..!

Hi tugs1403 (anything to do with tugs cause I work for a tug company ?). Reason i sent a schedule to the court and to Eversheds was because i read in another thread that MCOL send all details onto a local court near to you. Thread read that it was better for them to have the information at hand otherwise Nationwidecan claim a further 28 days i believe even though you will have sent them a copy of your schedule previously. Hope this helps. Recieved my acknowlegement of service on 09/05 so counting down the days until 06/06. Your 28 days started on 15/05 so you are 6 days behind me. Good luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

congrats mecanician. Your a star. I'm well pleased to see they have paid you out AFTER the berwick case and that it may still be their intention to pay (on the 28th day or before) using the same tactic, writing to the court saying they have satisfied it etc but debarr you from any more claims. I have issued on 17th May. I am waiting for a defence if they are going to issue one, at the moment its just acknowledged. I think they have until 14th June to defend if not i'll go for judgement but judging by the sound of things the money just goes in the account. funny thing is the account that had the charges has been closed for ages (I do have a savings acct with them, i suppose they could put in there) if not a cheque'll do nicely. Do you mind posting what their defence was, on there please so I can get ready to pick my holes in it?

Hi pestrick

Hope your claim goes the same way as mine.......

I recieved the letter from Northampton Court (MCOL) 02/06/07 which states "Notice of defence that amount claimed has been paid" and stapled to the letter is a photocopy of form N9b in which states "charges totalling £4939.50 + cost + intrerest were refunded on 24/06/2007" and in section 5 "the defendant believes that the facts stated in this form are true.I am duly authorised by the defendant(Nationwide) to sign this statement.Eversheds LLP (solicitors)

I hope this is some help

Regards

Mecanician :D

Sounds good. What date was this though? that they paid out? and what date did you issue? Eversheds are on the case on mine too. Did they put the money in your account? did they pay on the 28th day due when they were due to enter the defence?

 

Thanks.

No nothing yet ! No money in account and no defence lodged with MCOL. Been reading a few threads and it appears Nationwide may have changed tactics. Successes seem to be getting few and far between ! Peaple are getting to 28 days are hearing nothing. Wonder if its because they know MCOL may have a backlog ?? Any views would be appreciated !!

Thanks for your advice and support... we will just wait and see what happens over the next few days.:smile:
