    • 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.

Wondering if someone can give me some advice...

 

I am currently a part time LLB student and became unemployed just before xmas - so I'm signing on,

but JSA money hasn't started to come through yet for various reasons relating to my student status.

 

Before I was a p/t time student I was a full time student and had a student overdraft

- which is now a graduate account and my main banking account with Lloyds TSB.

 

About a year ago I got myself a mobile phone contract and because I have not been able to afford to pay it my overdraft has been mounting up and is now £300 past what is allowed.

 

for the past few weeks I have been getting phone calls from Lloyds (01273743574) everyday demanding the £300 back.

 

At one point one guy said they were going to give me a month to wait for the jobseekers money to come through,

then the next day it was like nothing happened and they were demanding the money again.. :???:

 

It feels rather invasive and like harassment having them bothering me all the time when I have clearly explained my situation,

that I cannot afford to pay until I get a job; or at least until the job centre pulls their finger out. :|

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get lloyds off my back until such a time as when I can pay them?

I.e. when the job centre comes through or when I get a job..

 

Erm don't know whether it's relevant or not, but I lost my job due to having epileptic problems, which are now fine.

 

Thanks.

I am a part time student and I am unemployed, so am signing on. In my first meeting at the jobcentre I was advised to apply for Contribution Based JSA, as I had just left my previous job - but after almost two months of waiting to be paid they sent me a letter saying that I don't have enough NI contributions etc etc (I think this is because I had just done a full time degree and for the three years prior I was just doing temp work).

 

Immediately after I got the letter, which was about three weeks ago, I arranged an appointment at the jobcentre to fill in a JSA3 form. I was advised to date it from the day that I first applied to sign on, a few months prior. The lady at the jobcentre checked through it and then sent it off. I received a phone call the next day saying that it had arrived at it's destination.

 

I telephoned the jobcentre yesterday to find out what's taking so long and they phoned me back today saying they are having trouble locating the JSA3 form which I filled in. They explained that they don't know exactly when I will be getting JSA through. It was suggested that I get a crisis loan - which I understand is money that I have to pay back to them. Why would I want to get a loan off them when they owe me over 3 months of JSA, their logic is bizarre.

 

To add to all of this, I have got myself in debt spending money that I haven't got. I wouldn't have got into debt if the JSA was coming through regularly. My bank is requesting that I pay all of the money back now - which I cant. My mobile phone has been cut off - Orange have been a tad more lenient and today agreed to give me a week to pay.

 

It feels like they are taking the p*ss, it also feels like an uphill struggle trying to get a job. I have had a couple of interviews which I have had to turn down because I couldn't afford to get to them.

 

As I understand it, the jobcentre don't deal with the payments - that is the job of the benefit delivery centre (or whatever it is called). Should I make a complaint to them, would that be the best course of action? If so, how? Can anyone think of anything else I can do to speed things up? I am completely clueless at the moment. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

 

For the people who like to stereotype - I am not the type of person that wants to live off benefits, I enjoy working. I am studying to become a solicitor.

I am a part time student and I am unemployed, so am signing on. The for various reasons (outlined in my last thread) the jobcentre are not paying me, and they don't know exactly when they can pay me. As a result of this I have accrued some debt by spending money that I haven't got.

 

I am overdrawn on my overdraft and am facing monthly charges, I am getting daily telephone calls from my bank asking for this to be rectified, which I cant do.

 

My mobile phone has been cut off, and I owe three months for that - they have given me a week to pay, despite me saying that I don't have an income and am awaiting JSA.

 

I also had a credit card and because I couldn't meet the minimum payments, the account was passed to a debt collection agency. They seemed pretty understanding a month ago when I said I dont have an income - my girlfriend agrreed to pay a one off payment of £10.

 

This will obviously to keep them at bay for long, so is there anyway to get these guys to stop charging me and wait until I have an income until I pay them? At the moment it seems as though everything I say is just being ignored. Any advice will be appreciated, thanks.

I work for JCP in the customer service side of the business, in the office that I work in te form is handed by the customer and it is placed in the courier post to be sent to te benefit centre.

Once it hasleft the building either the same day as it was received or the following working day (dependingon the time of the day the form was handed in and the time that the courier is collected from the JCP) thee is no way of tracing that post.

We frequently come accross cases I'm afraid where we know that information and post has been sent but the benefit centre deny that it has been received yet other post in the saqme envelope was received!

If they are stating that they cannot locate the form all you will be able to do is to complete a duplicate form and at the same time you can write a letter of complaint requesting that consideration is given to repay any bank charges incurred are refunded. This will be considered once proof of charges are received but I cannot confirmif these cgarges would be reimbursed or not sorry as I am not a Decision Maker.

You could also ask jobcentre plus if you can apply for a loan from the social fund as you don't need to be in receipt of benefits to claim. You have to pay it back, but at least it will tide you over until you get sorted.

If you are studying to be a solicitor I would be very careful about getting into debt as it can affect your job prospects, get a crisis loan if you are entitled to it, dont use your mobile get a cheap pay as you go.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and let me know, thank you.
