    • 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.              
    • Unless I've got an incorrect copy of the relevant regulation: The PCN is only deemed to have arrived two days after dispatch "unless the contrary is proved" in which case date of delivery does matter (not just date of posting) and I would like clarification of the required standard of proof. It seems perhaps this hasn't been tested. Since post is now barcoded for the Post Office's own tracking purposes perhaps there is some way I can get that evidence from the Post Office...

    • 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, apologies if this has been asked before.

 

I have a debt with jd williams, i am not disputing the debt and am wanting to make arrangements to pay it off,

problem is, for some reason they have 3 separate accounts for me ( i dont know why) and they have been sent to debt collectors.

 

The debt was from 2009 so i understand it being sent to debt collectors, a guy from moorcroft has been to my home, hes really not pleasant

and i refused to talk to him,

 

i wrote to moorcroft and complained and asked for any further contact to be by letter, heard no more, now provident have written, offering a discount,

 

i was confused by it so have emailed jd williams directly, and they are getting me details of the 3 accounts and i have made it clear i intend to pay

and have explained how i ended up in this mess and they are being amicable, they have advised me that moorcroft is the agency they use

and have nothing to do with provident, and to ask provident for further details?...

 

am puzzled now?....

 

can i not just pay direct to jd williams

 

or will this be refused?

 

i dont like moorcroft and they are clearly ignoring me now,

 

since my complaint...

 

i really want to pay off my debt.

if anyone is offering a discount

that means the vbalance is mostly unlawful charges

or

there are paperwork issues

 

eitherway, they'll go no where near a court.

 

so for that A/C you can safely ignore them.

well am glad that jd williams are being amicable with me,

they have offered to recall the debt back to them and i can pay them direct, so thats a result,

 

they are keen to have any details of any debt collection agency whom is acting for them and not doing things properly,

 

i have given them my account of moorcroft,

 

i doubt much if anything will happen but its nice to be listened to.

 

As for provident hmm they want me to sign a new agreement with them?

 

i am going to look into this as that cant be right,

if they have the debt already and are asking for payments why should i have to sign a new agreement?

they sounded a bit wary when i rang and asked and as yet not heard from them.

am concerned you are taking what these people say as correct without checking

 

i'd advise getting a copy of your CRA

 

if a debt does not show no debt exists.

 

as for provi

 

NO do not sign a new agreement.

 

and lastly

 

stop breaking the gold rule.....

 

NEVER EVER talk to a DCA or their cohorts on the phone!

 

you need a papertrail.

I have a debt which was sold to Lowell, my son wants to pay this off for me by direct debit, there is a form on their website to set this up, but would they refuse it as the debtor name will be different to the payer? Would rather not speak with them if possible, but this is a genuine debt and would like it settled.

but surely the amount is set with a direct debit, and the account is theirs now as they have bought it, so I cant pay the original creditor. can I not insist my bank only pay what I have said?

its a debt that was owed to jd Williams,

 

I had goods from them, and within a month or so, I had a melt down, was awaiting psychiatric diagnose,

unfortunately had an atos assessment- fit to work, which sent me into orbit,

became quite ill and under psychiatrist for 12 months on 1 to 1 treatment and therapy,

 

during all this the debt wasn't paid (along with others) I was living on reduced benefit due to appealing dwp stopping my benefit,

and was receiving £50 per week to live on.

 

As time went on, I moved home, to somewhere I could cope better, and the debts were all but forgotten,

but do haunt me, I feel guilt and worry about them.

 

Lowell have bought the debt at some point from jd Williams and are asking for the full amount, or a payment arrangement,

 

my son wants to help me with this, and either pay by D/D which I see from the other poster is not a good idea,

or by paying via debit card every month online as one off payment system,

where you can pay for another person, my account but his payment.

no!

 

you are assuming too muxh here

 

as with your orher 2 debts with JDW

 

if anyone ever offers a discount there is SOMETHING WRONG

with the debt

 

you need to FIND IT.

 

i would SAR JDW

 

and get the full history of the debts.

 

dont pay anyone anything esp a DCA!!

 

you need to do this with ALL te debts you THINK you might owe

 

i'd also get a copy of your CRA file

 

see below.

 

ENSURE all the debts they say you have SHOW

 

if they dont

you need to be doing some SERIOUS investigations

 

never EVER take 'on spec' anything a DCA writes or says.

its all a mess to be honest,

a few debts re-surfacing,

 

I know they are genuine and have been acknowledged by me so there isn't much I can really do,

I cant afford much in payments and could offer a minimal repayment which is all I can do,

 

I have done the budget for national debtline, and its possible they may recommend a DRO,

 

have read all about this and it may be the best option. T

 

here are letters and phone calls from different agencies and its just too much.

I guess its either pay it off at a very small amount or DRO.

 

One is in my sons name but is my debt in theory as he ordered the items and I was to pay him but couldn't,

he had forgot about this and letters have been going to an old address, and now come to light.

 

He is going to settle that and help me with the latest Lowell that's on the CRA,

as for the rest its as I said,

thing is if Lowell are buying up debts I could end up owing to them for all of them, then it will be a big amount.

 

If Lowell buy more than one debt of mine will the two amounts merge one big one or stay as separate amounts?

 

I know all the advice is good here its just all this is too much and will make me ill again if I don't get something sorted out.

 

Post, calls and visits at the door, I cant bear it.

 

I cant get credit and I don't want it,

 

when I am feeling better I think I can handle it and pay it,

then I realise in reality I cant and when unwell just cant cope at all.

 

Its nobody elses fault that I have bipolar disorder and back when these debts were incurred I felt I could cope,

 

I now know differently and wouldn't take debt on if I had the chance to. It scares me.

 

Sorry for rambling.

sorry but i doubt your 'assumption' that all the debts ARE GENUINE.

 

just because you have 'acked' them.

 

doesn't meant ALL the money they claim IS OWED BY YOU.

 

there could [ and WILL on the cat debts]

be loads of PENALTY charges.

 

you are NOT responsible for paying those...

 

unless NDL are going to get you to send off CCA requests and SAR's to get the FULL & TRUE picture

first

before you enter into a DRO, then IMHO thats wrong & poor advise.

penalty charges I don't have a clue, but I have heard of this,

 

NDL haven't given advice re DRO as yet, as I have only just completed a budget form to send them,

and they will look at it and discuss etc.

 

what is the best way to find out about penalty charges, will these have been for late or non payement? (sorry to be thick but I really have no clue) ...

even though these debts are from 2008/9,

 

I have spoken and been somewhat caught out I guess through my own ignorance,

and they know as I do that the debts have been acknowledged.

 

What is the best way forward please?

and thankyou for your patience.

hey no sweat.

 

i just hate people getting fleeced.

 

sadly there are a series of HOOPS to jump through.

 

firstly

 

can you get your CRA file

see below.

 

then CHECK all your debts SHOW please.

 

next is to fire off a CCA request to ANY DCA that is chasing a debt.

Company House,

 

Church Street,

 

Newtown,

 

Kent,

 

R1 7HG

 

 

 

Dear Sir/Madam

 

 

 

Re:- Account/Reference Number 4563210025897412

 

 

 

This letter is a formal request pursuant to s.77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974. I require you to provide me with a true copy of the credit agreement relating to the above account, together with any other documentation the Act requires you to provide, including a detailed statement of the account.

 

 

 

I expect you to comply fully and properly with this request, within the statutory time limit. You are reminded that should you fail to comply with my request, the provisions of s.77 will apply.

 

 

 

If it is your view that you are not the creditor, s.175 of the CCA 1974 applies in the case of a simple assignment, and places a duty upon you to pass this request to the creditor. In the case of an absolute assignment, you are a creditor as defined by s.189. If you contend that you purchased the rights but not the duties of any agreement, you are reminded that s.189 of the Act is clear that an assignment is of both rights and duties.

 

 

 

Your attention is drawn to ss.5(2), 3(b),6 and 7 of the Consumer Protection From Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR).

 

 

 

I enclose a postal order in the sum of £1.00, which is the statutory fee. Note that these funds are not to be used for any other purpose.

 

 

 

If you are unable to comply fully and properly with this request, you should confirm this in writing at the earliest opportunity, and certainly within the statutory time limit for compliance, and return the fee.

 

 

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

 

 

Yours faithfully

 

Mr A N Other

 

you'll need to put a BLANK £1 POSTAL ORDER in with EACH CCA request

mark on the back of the PO for CCA PAYMENT ONLY

not to be taken off any aleged debt balance

 

**DO NOT SIGN THE CCA LETTER**

fire one off to EACH DCA for EACH DEBT they are chasing.

 

 

next...

 

your need to get aLL the statements together for EACH DEBT.

 

have you got any

[might be a good idea to sort through all the hundreds of letter you have :lol:

 

and put them in a folder for EACH DEBT.

 

ok?

however I will, for now, tackle the ones most pestering,

Lowell, which is on CRA, and work through from there........

 

thankyou....I feel much better now that I have a plan,

 

Just one more thing, so ..if which is likely from what you say, there has been added charges for penalty reasons, they cant make me pay them?
