What is a Default Notice / Court Summons?
Sunday, April 26th, 2009Before a car is repossessed a default notice will be sent out by loan company and if this is not complied with, court proceedings take place.
If a buyer fails to keep up repayments as per the agreement of the purchase of a car a lender will initially send out reminders of payment. Following this a default notice will be sent to the owner.
A default notice is a formal notification of arrears. A default notice will stay on a person’s credit file for 6 years and will make it extremely difficult to obtain any further credit. For this reason it should treated as a priority and dealt with immediately.
If payments are in arrears the loan company MUST serve you with a default notice before any court action or legal proceedings take place. A default notice will provide details for immediate payment and if this payment is made there will be no further action taken. There is usually a time frame of 7 days when a default notice is issued before court proceedings.
Court Proceedings
After sending a default notice, the lender can start the process to recover the money by issuing a claim form. If you receive a claim form, you will know that the lender has started proceedings in the county court. This claim form will make it clear who is taking you to court, the amount of arrears and proposed action.
To avoid court action, it is advisable to contact the lender to establish a mutually acceptable agreement. Court action will result in the registering of a County Court Judgment or CCJ against you and the issuing of an Order by the court that the debt is repaid either immediately or by installments. So long as the debt is for less than £25,000 you will be able to apply to the Court for a Time Order to give you more time to repay the debt.
If you have been requested to repay the full amount, you can apply to the court to vary the order to a monthly payment you can afford. Filling in a N245 form, which can be obtained either from the court, or downloaded online, can do this. Generally there is a fee of £30 to be included with the Variation form; however, this can sometimes be waived if you are on a low income.
The N245 Varied Order form is your opportunity to inform the court of an offer of repayment you believe you can afford to pay each month. The court will pass the form onto your creditor for them to decide if the offer is acceptable or not, If the creditor refuses your offer, the court will take a look at your details and set a repayment the court believes you can repay. If the creditor accepts your offer, the order will be made for the amount you said you could pay.
A County Court Judgment will be registered on your credit file and will remain there for 6 years. However, if you repay the judgment before the 6 years are up, you can apply for a Certificate of Satisfaction. There is a cost of £10 for court fees. This will then be placed on your credit file that will be seen by any lender you use to apply for credit.
To prevent a County Court Judgment from being registered on your credit file, you need to repay the full amount requested within one month.
7 Ways to Avoid Your Car Being Repossessed
Saturday, April 25th, 2009
As a result of the current economic climate in the UK, an increasing number of people are finding making repayments on car loans difficult and as a result their cars are being repossessed. Having your car repossessed can often be a huge financial strain as loan companies resell or auction the repossessed car as quickly as possible for a knockdown price and then chase you to pay the difference. If your car has been repossessed or you have been served with a default notice finding useful information can often be difficult.
But could this whole situation have been avoided in the first place? Below are some top tips on avoiding car repossession:
1) SHOP AROUND – When you first go ahead with a purchase its important to check the market. There are many companies offering different rates and different terms. Shopping around can get you the best deal and ultimately save you money so payments can be more affordable during more difficult times.
2) DECIDE WHICH IS THE BEST TYPE OF LOAN FOR YOU – Secured loans, hire purchase car credit are all different types of loan. Check carefully which is most suited to you and your budget to avoid your car being repossessed.
3) DON’T BE PUSHED INTO ANY DEAL – When buying a car or getting a loan for a car you can easily be pushed towards the wrong option for you by commission hungry salesmen. Don’t commit to anything until you have done your research. There is no harm in asking for a day or two to think about your final decision.
4) CALCULATE THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE REPAID – Although repayments may be low how much are you actually paying by the end of the agreement? Buyers often overlook how much they will end up paying and ultimately end up paying much much more.
5) CAN YOU AFFORD THE REPAYMENTS? – Are you buying over your budget? Is this really what you can afford. Sometimes the desire for having a nicer car than your budget can afford will bring problems when making repayments.
6) CHECK THE SMALL PRINT – When signing any agreement it is imperative to check the small print thoroughly and know your rights. Remember these contracts have been drawn up by cunning lawyers who are paid by the loan companies to make the deal seem more attractive and get the most out of you if you default on payments.
7) SPEAK TO THE LOAN COMPANY – If you are struggling with repayments, DO NOT HIDE. Often just speaking to the loan company can be the best way to avoid having your car repossessed. They may be able to adjust your repayment schedule or allow you time to come up with the funds.
