    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?
    • This is the other sign  parking sign 1a.pdf
    • 4 means that they need to name and then tell the people who will be affected that there has been an application made, what the application relates to (specificially "whether it relates to the exercise of the court’s jurisdiction in relation to P’s property and affairs, or P’s personal welfare, or to both) and what this application contains (i.e what order they want made as a result of it) 5 just means that teh court think it is important that the relevant people are notified 7 means that the court need more information to make the application, hence they have then made the order of paragraph 1 which requires the applicant to do more - this means the court can't make a decision with the current information, and need more, hence paragraph one of the order is for the applicant to do more. paragraph 3 of the order gives you the ability to have it set aside, although if it was made in january you are very late. Were you notiifed of the application or not?    
    • These are the photos of the signs. At the entrance there is a 7h free sign. On some bays there is a permit sign.  Also their official website is misleading as it implies all parking is free.  I can't be certain of the exact parking bay I was in that day, and there was no PCN ticket on my car and no other evidence was provided.  parking sign 2.pdf
    • Hi, In my last post I mentioned I had received an email from SS who were asking me to hand over the keys to my mother’s flat so they could pass them to the Law firm who have been appointed court of protection to access, secure and insure my mother’s property.  Feeling this, all quickly getting out of my hands I emailed ss requesting proof of this. I HAVEN’T HEARD BACK FROM SS.  Yesterday, I received an email (with attached court of protection order) from the Law Firm confirming this was correct (please see below a copy of this).  After reading the court of protection order I do have some concerns about it:   (a)   I only found out yesterday, the Law firm had been appointed by the court back in January.  Up until now, I have not received any notification regarding this.  (b)   Section 2   - States I am estranged from my mother.  This is NOT CORRECT    The only reason I stepped back from my mother was to protect myself from the guy (groomer) who had befriended her & was very aggressive towards me & because of my mother’s dementia she had become aggressive also.  I constantly tried to warned SS about this guy's manipulative behaviour towards my mother and his increasing aggressiveness towards me (as mentioned in previous posts).  Each time I was ignored.  Instead, SS encouraged his involvement with my mother – including him in her care plans and mental health assessments.   I was literally pushed out because I feared him and my mother’s increasing aggression towards me. Up until I stepped back, I had always looked after my mother and since her admission to the care home, I visit regularly.   .(c)    Sections -  4, 5 and 7  I am struggling to understand these as I don’t have a legal background.  I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to explain what they mean.  It’s been a horrendous situation where I had to walk away from my mother at her most vulnerable because of; ss (not helping), scammer and groomer. I have no legal background, nor experience in highly manipulative people or an understanding of how the SS system operates, finding myself isolated, scared and powerless to the point I haven’t collected my personal belongings and items for my mother’s room in the care home.  Sadly, the court has only had heard one version of this story SS’s, and based their decision on that. My mother’s situation and the experience I have gone through could happen to anyone who has a vulnerable parent.    If anyone any thoughts on this much appreciated.  Thank you. ______________________________________________________  (Below is the Court of Protection Order)  COURT OF PROTECTION                                                                                                                                                                                   No xxx  MENTAL CAPACITY ACT 2005 In the matter of Name xxx ORDER Made by  Depty District Judge At xxx Made on xxx Issued on 18 January 2024  WHEREAS  1.     xxx Solicitors, Address xxx  ("Applicant”) has applied for an order under the Mental Capacity Act 2005.  2.     The Court notes (my mother) is said to be estranged from all her three children and only one, (me) has been notified.  3.     (Me) was previously appointed as Atorney for Property and Affairs for (my mother).  The Exhibity NAJ at (date) refers to (me) and all replacement Attorneys are now officially standing down.  4.     Pursuant to Rule 9.10 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 and Practice Direction 9B the Applicant 2must seek to identify at least three persons who are likely to have an interest in being notified that an application has been issues.”  The children of (my mother), and any other appointed attorneys are likely to have an interest in the application, because of the nature of relationship to (my mother).  5.     The Court considers that the notification requirements are an important safeguard for the person in respect of whom an order is sought.  6.     The Court notes that it is said that the local authority no longer has access to (my mother’s) Property.  7.     Further information is required for the Court to determine the application.  IT IS ORDERED THAT  Within 28 days of the issue date this order, the Applicant shall file a form COP24 witness statement confirming that the other children of (my mother) and any replacement attorneys have been notified of the application and shall confirm their name, address, and date upon which those persons were notified.  If the Applicant wishes the Court to dispense with any further notification, they should file a COP9 and COP24 explaining, what steps (if any) have been taken to attempt notification and why notification should be dispensed with.   Pending the determination of the application to appoint a deputy for (my mother), the Applicant is authorised to take such steps as are proportionate and necessary to access, secure and insure the house and property of (my mother).   This order was made without a hearing and without notice.  Any person affected by this order may apply within 21 days of the date on which the order was served to have the order set aside or varied pursuant to Rule 13.4 of the Court of Protection Rules 2017 (“the Rules”).  Such application must be made on Form COP9 and in accordance with Part 10 Rules.

    • 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,i posted a few months about about a pre-payment meter i had fitted last august by british gas to pay an outstanding bill of £678,a warrant was sent out last july to gain entry,and a representitive called round twice at the time,left a card etc etc,eventually i spoke to him at the door and i told him my situation and he said i cold have a meter fitted to pay the bill off,i questioned him about the £285 charge and he told me,or assured me that it was more of a scare tactic and i wouldn't be charged so we arranged a day to have it done,had it fitted,the charge was set on meter and that was that....i regularly check the meter debt and last week it was at £400 odd left to pay off...then this morning i receive a letter to say at the time i had the meter fitted they made a mistake and didn't transfer all or some of my debt to the meter and obviously because i still owe this amount i still to pay it and they would adjust my meter in the next few weeks,so i had a look at ,y outstanding debt on the thing and was shocked to see the debt is now £1083!!!!!!! thats £600 more!!!! so i rang them up immediately and according to them,the £285 they state on the letter is the warrant charge they didn't add on to my outstanding debt back in august (aug 5th 2009 to be exact) even though i was told by the door rep i wouldn't pay it,i empkained this to them on the phone just and they aren't having it,they said they checked their files anf what the rep has put and they won't wavier the charge,so bascally i've got to pay it,is there anyway i can get this knocked off because 1)They've lied to me (as i would have borrowed money to pay the debt off in full rather than pay nearly £300 for a meter) and 2)It's 7 months ago and now they've decided to add it on which now takes my bill to the original of not abit more than it started at in first place,so i feel i've paid nothing off :(

 

Help please anyone....

I would send them this request letter and also a SAR and ask for absolutely everything what they have about you and your account, the request letter is for charges back what they have been charging for standing meter charges as they have done the exact same to me today and I can not get any joy out of them when I phoned up as they could not tell me if it was for charges they had put on or if it was for Gas used before pre pay got put in? I put my request in at beginning of this month and will now be sending a SAR for everything they have on me, as I believe they add charges on just for sake of it, will keep you posted when I do some more digging from Ofgem.:???:

Thanks for that,will certainly try it.

 

My bill was originally about £500 something,but because they charge £14 a letter (reminders) and then they charge £50 a letter which states because a rep has had to hand deliver even though it was posted...how the hell can they justify these so called charges for an A4 piece of paper??!!! is beyond me

 

I've sent an email off which am awaiting for a reply about this so called warrant charge of £285 which they say should have been added on in August,as they've admitted this,but i don't see why i should pay as they didn't have to gain entry,i agreed to have a meter which the rep said would cost me nothing to have fitted,because i asked him this beforehand to be sure...so he lied to my face....arghhhh British Gas are the bain of my life

Well I charged my card up with 20.00GBP this morning and it took 11.00GBP charge off and instead of the 64.00GBP debt going on. I ended up with 110.00GBP added on, how can they do this when i had a letter stating only 64.00GBP, they think they can do what they want?

RESULT!!!!!! Phoned BG up yesterday about the extra money they put on my pre pay meter and went through all bills from when i joined BG and all readings on meter. Found out they had already added it in August 2009 and they tried sticking it on again. They wiped it off yesterday so back down to original amount, so i would ask them to go through your account and ask them for full statements, i think you might be suprised, they also did it with my electric meter a couple of months ago, i had 24.00GBP debt left owing and i topped the key up checked my debt to see if it had took any off and to my suprise they stook another 240.00GBP on so had to ring them up again and it was their fault so they removed it.HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE DO THEY DO IT TO WITHOUT THEM KNOWING, I AM GOING TO START A NEW THREAD JUST WARNING PEOPLE OF THIS ROBBERY.:D

Unfortunately when you have a prepayment meter, you are totally in the hands of your suppliers as to what is set on the meter.

BGas may say they will wipe the extra charges but until they have adjusted the meter accordingly, it is empty talk. And you have to pay the charges back, otherwise you are without power. Grrr, I hate prepayment meters!
