Originally posted by SouthKD View PostAgain, rubbish! You are making an assumption, and there are plenty that can be made as to what these transactions were.
What I find interesting is people who know how these scheme work all seem to think there is a problem, it is only the people who joined the schemes who don't..
So let me repeat this again
The things you need to check are:-
1) is there any actual paperwork that this wasn't a loan or that it's been settled / paid off.
2) is the loan time served and expired in the country the loan came from (laws are different in Scotland to England but these loans may be from the IoM where again different rules apply).
3) and then finally if things get to court, does the person going to court actually own the debt
Oh and don't expect the fact IoM courts require lawyers to be paid up front. The cost of bringing a case to an IoM court is significantly cheaper than bringing a case to an English court which may more than cover the legal fees. For £250,000 an English court requires £10,000 in fees, in the IoM its £1243.50merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Originally posted by pnr8ukWhy would you close a post when it has been the source of strength and hope for many during these very worrying times. A few disagreements is fine it's healthy debate. We are heading to the pointy end of this debacle now and we need to be able to talk to each other, people will have different views, all of us will have different schemes, deals and offers.
Closing this now is very odd that you would think such a thing, no one is being abusive, bullying or using bad language it's just opinions and options.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

When I see abuse or receive complaints, I will wade in again."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

It's the ones that keep piping up saying it doesn't affect them or weren't in a scheme talk the most bollocks ... some of the patter and advice on this thread is honking!
There is also a lot of good folk on here who are quite rightly concerned ... Try not to listen to the argumentative doom merchants!Comment

Just because people want to believe something to be true doesn’t make it so."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

<Mod: Quote removed at poster's request.>
The Darwin contract posted earlier refers to self employment ... When you’re self employed its up to you as an individual to take care of your tax affairs ... It was never a loan but payment for services ... once paid its up to the self employed individual to declare and pay the correct taxes on his/her income.Comment

Originally posted by pnr8ukThat's all it is here a debt collection dispute.
Now it's perfectly possible that the IoM is irrelevant and this is (as you hope) just a debt argument within standard English law but I don't think it is - I suspect it's far more awkward than that
Which means the first question you need to ask yourself when seeking legal advice is, for which country's laws do you need that legal advice England (possibly Scotland) or the IoM or worse, all of them?Last edited by eek; 14 August 2020, 13:18.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment
