    • 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've been a member here for a few years since the original debt caused me problems, but I cant remember my log in details.

 

At the end of 2011 I had a Tmobile phone stolen and £340 rung up before I realized and reported it missing.

 

During the phone call to discuss the bill with their complaints dept,

I was offered a goodwill gesture of £170 *IF* I took out a new 18 month contract at a higher monthly rate than I had been paying.

 

I asked for some time to think about it and took an email address (as at that point I wanted to get things in writing).

 

After I had done some research, probably here, I discovered that I was liable so I emailed Tmobile to accept the offer.

Tmobile emailed back saying they had withdrawn the offer as it was a "one time only telephone offer",

so I would have to pay in full (I still have both emails)

I thought "then" and cancelled the direct debit.

 

A few months later Sigma Red started writing to me about the debt, and marked my credit file with a default against them not Tmobile.

 

As I have a few debts in good standing ,

having this one default hasn't really caused me problems

and I am happy not to pay Tmobile when they are acting as "fences",

 

but I have been looking forward to having the default drop off my file for personal satisfaction reasons.

 

So that's the history.

 

I have just started to receive letters from these Lowell people saying that my account was "sold to them by Tmobile".

 

firstly, should the "sigma Red" debt now show as paid on my file?

 

Secondly, will Lowell enter a new debt?

I understand I can make them remove it but still it will be a PITA.

 

thirdly, as this debt is 18 months from being SB'd what are my options in dealing with Lowell?

 

is there any realistic chance of a CCJ?

 

Many thanks for your time.

sigma would not have entered the defaultTM would have.

 

lowells can do what they like

as long as they don't change the original defaulted date.

 

pers i'd be getting an sar off to TM now.

get all the info,

and p'haps dispute the debt.

 

this does not sound fair to me.

is Sigma Red a sub of Tmobile?

 

Company: SIGMA RED Started: 28/02/08 Account Updated to 17/05/15

COMMUNICATIONS

Default Date:10/09/11

Account Type: Current Balance:£340 Default Balance:£340

 

The above is copypasta direct from my file. Having read a few threads here before I posted, I thought it was odd.

 

With only 18 months before the SB date, would contacting Tmobile reset the clock on that?

 

I'm happy to redact and paste in the original emails but they would take a lot of space.

If sigma has it then its 100% UE.

You got Conned. Likely by a sales pitch so the operator got comission off it as he couldnt be bothered to put you through to the fraud department.

"why did you pay it then?" umm I didnt.

 

I think my post was edited by a mod for some of the daddies special words I used in my hypothetical response to Tmobile.

 

I think I can see the problem.

 

Tmobile offered me a "goodwill gesture" of paying half the original bill if I took out the extended and more expensive contract.

 

I asked that we carry on correspondence in writing, and for some time to research the contract I was being offered (and to research my liability).

 

When I contacted them to say that I would take up the "goodwill offer" they withdrew it, so basically they made a "bad will offer" which I took to be a go forth an multipy from them, so I did.

It changes words. Not the meaning. Your post implies you got tricked into paying something you did not owe, and you added conditions or they did to the payment.

Is somebody actually going to help me with the actual issue here , or even put it back into the right subforum or are we all going to praise ourselves on our reading comprehension?

 

Its a truth oft repeated, the best way to get help on an internet forum isnt to ask a question but to post the wrong answer and wait for everybody to correct you.

post 2 is your answer.

 

as for a CCJ we've not got a crystal ball sadly

 

however a search of cag with say the words claimform mobile debt

 

should reveal that the majority of mobile claims by fleecing dca's where there is a dispute

[like yous say - unfair call charges relating to a phone theft]

result to nothing

 

as for the paid bit..

 

I guess you are reading the TMobile CRa file entry - that says £0

but the lowells one say the true bal?

so you though it had been written off?

 

that's what happens on a cra file when a debt is sold on.

as long as the dca doesn't charge the defaulted date, theres sadly nowt of worth to wave arms about.

 

on the defaults 6th birthday

the whole account will vanish.

 

as in post 2

if you want to gather evidence in case of a claimform

it would be in your interest to send an sar to TMobile now

 

then you will have the written proof to counter their poss court claim.

 

nothing more you can do sadly.

 

 

the thread is in the right forum

as the original debt was a mobile phone account that went bad

Hi all,

I had a previous success but as Lowell wouldnt let sleeping dogs lie,

I dont see why I should.

 

I received a letter from Lowells during my county court fun and games with them,

the relevant parts being...

 

"due to non payment the account defaulted on 10/09/11 and was registered on your credit file.

The last payment toward your account was for £13 on 10/1/11"

 

The account was for a mobile that was stolen and charges to premium lines in Algeria rung up.

 

I got into an email correspondence with T-mobile

where I was originally offered a reduced payment deal but when I accepted it ,

it was withdrawn and the full balance demanded.

I still have the emails, the latest dated 10/2/11.

 

I consider this to be SB from tomorrow.

I also consider the account to have been "in dispute" when it was sold to the first of a chain of recovery companies.

 

I consider the default date to be 1 month after the final payment ie: 10/2/11 and therefor it should clear from my file tomorrow.

 

Lowells are the holders of the default and should make all this happen for me.

What say you?

 

on a side issue, the default amount on my file is £100 more than the original default figure and I assume this is made up of charges?

 

This cant be right shirley!?

Yes if the claim was discontinued ...then the clock never stopped...the difference in the debt amount may be the court fees for issuing the claim.

Its showing as £450 on the "top line" of the default, but £350 against all the little red "D"s .

 

 

I tried posting up a snip/screen shot but I cant get it to work :( S

 

 

do I send the letter with the quoted info to the credit agencies or do I demend Lowell contacts them and ammends the record?

 

 

I might even be persuaded to give them a very small amount in full and final settlement.

10% of what they paid the previous DCA,

who probably paid T-mobile 10%,

should cover Lowells costs. a

bout £3.50.

CRAs wont amend it...only Lowell can alter the amount....should they wish to.

mmm, and are there any tactics and strategies to get them to do this?

 

 

I could give it until Sept when it drops off anyway which was my original plan.

 

 

However, I'd been working on improving my credit when Lowells dropped the court claim on me so now I'm up for the fight.

Cheers. I'm guessing that if I write to Lowells and request they update my credit file, they're not just going to see the light and realize they have been walking the crooked path all this time. Is there anything I can quote that might remind them they have a duty to keep the files in order? BTW, I got a noodle update today that pushed my credit score from fair to poor, the only difference being the Feb default.
