    • 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.

You Can Not Do A Vt With Arrears

 

Have You Got It In Writing That They Have Accepted The Vt And Closed The Account

 

Seen This Come Back To Bite In The Ass To Often

 

surely the closed account is a moot point - if they have accepted a VT - the conditions of a VT is that you give back with nothing due and owing. If OP has in writing they accept VT that should surely be sufficient proof. :confused:

Unfortunately I hadn't paid half, wish I'd clung on for longer but circumstances meant that the payments were crippling me and although I renegotiated it (stupidly by telephone), Welcome reneged on it and demanded full monthly payments after 1 month into the new payments.

 

 

hmmm yes telephone is not good - how far away are you from half agreement? I would pay up to then and then tell them to take me to court.

Post - I had a letter setting out the VT and amounts owed etc, although i can't put my hand to it right now, got paperwork everywhere.

 

Andie, I've just checked and I'd paid £2k ish off what turned out to be over £9k for a £5k car (if I could I would kick myself violently believe me) after the vt they halved it, took away my payments I'd made etc and are after £2k now. I don't have it in any way shape or form. Anyway I won't hijack this any longer as I have my own thread, which I'll post on once I get all the CCA and SAR sorted on it. thanks for all the help

If Its Agreed That The Account Is Closed In Writing Following A Vt, Thats Great

No PPI as I refused it.

 

The letter setting out all the payments that are required under the VT does just that, it doesn't at any point in there say the account is closed, it does clearly state however that the arrears were £500 ish and just asks that I contact a branch to discuss repayment of the amount owed after VT.

 

This is link to my thread, post 23 has the link to the documents I scanned - hope this works!

I would doubt - this is Welcome all over - the broker would really have no reason to do this - he would have got commision on the sale anyway - it is Welcome that stand to make all the money of insurance. And it is their paperwork that was forged not the brokers.

Had letter off the FOS today after I complained about welcome chasing account in dispute and with the Ombudsman they have said they requested that welcome stop chasing the account untill a decision is reached and Welcome told them they are not willing to stop chasing and acording to FOS they are entitled to do this so who is supposed to protect our rights if these companys can just tell the FOS to go soak thier heads.

a quick question for you???

 

because welcome have been taken to court by us and others and we have won (by default) doesnt that mean that welcome now has ccj's on there business credit file...

 

and that would stop them from having a credit licence????? and stop the banks from lending against irresponable businesses???

 

just a thought

 

i wonder if the office of fair trading the people who issue credit licences know of there ccj's???

We have never missed a payment to Welcome Finance it was due on 8TH of May but due some mystical problem the direct debit did not clear.

 

I will contact Nat West tomorrow but I just want to warn anyone with dealings with Welcome Finance that they are now sending debt collectors to the door even in this situation. They are **** and would advise anyone contemplating dealings with them DON'T AT ALL COSTS.

That's true.

 

I never sign the same way.

 

 

 

Trace 1 signature then lay it over the other & if they match exactly then you have a provable forgery. We never ever sign our signature the exact same way twice

I love it when they say stuff that you know you haven't told them or that they should ever know.

 

Best example was when I called DG about something and hung up saying I was going to call NU and ask them.

 

I call NU almost straight away and ask to speak with Sue Dewey and the lady says "i'll just put you through - did you say your name was Andie?"

 

Errr no i didn't give you my name but I bet DG did - I laughed for ages at that one.

 

It was also good when NU wrote to me and mentioned about my court action - errr how would you know that me thinks??? :p
