    • 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

 

I wounder if anyone could give me some legal advice on selling a car with outstanding finance.

 

A friend of mine obtained a car on finance @ about 44%apr. he now wants to get rid of the car and has been told by somebody that if he gets a signed declaration from the buyer that he(the buyer) will continue to pay the finance i.e assume respinsibility for all outstanding monies on the car, then my friend would be covered against the finance company. Therefore the finance company would not be able to take County Court proceeding or even record a default on my friends credit profile.

 

Is there anybody on here who is familiar with the legalities on this subject.

 

Please help

 

Thanks

To the best of my knowledge selling goods which are the subject of a finance agreement (i.e. hire purchase) is against the law. Basically it's not the "hirer's" property to sell until all payments (including any "option to purchase fee") have been paid and written confirmation is received from the finance company that this has been done.

 

A "declaration" such as you suggest isn't, I think, worth the paper it's written on. If the "purchaser" defaults it's the original hirer the finance company will be chasing. I doubt any finance company would consent to the "transfer of lability" to an unknown (to them) third party. I would suspect that a contingency such as this will be covered in the agreement's "small print" too.

agree with the above - but you can usually sell it to someone if they pay the finance company what you agree for it - say there is 4K owing and car is worth 2K you can ask the finance co if you can sell it so long as funds go to them - you advertise it for 2K and sell it getting the buyer to pay the finance co directly and then you owe the reminder for soemthing you no longer have...i know of freinds who have done this but to me its worse to be paying for it and not having it!

Selling a vehicle on which HP is still owed is against the law. The way an HP agreement works is that the car dealer invoices the finance company for the car. The finance company then pays the dealer for the car and the customer hires the car from the finance company until the very end of the agreement. At this point the customer pays the finance company an 'option to purchase fee' which actually transfers ownership to the customer. It would be exactly the same as selling a rented t.v., house etc. i.e. it's not yours to sell in the first place. You wouldn't dream of selling a dvd you rented from blockbuster so why would you do it with an item worth 500 times as much. In my job I use experian car data checks every day and this can tell you whether a finance company has an interest in any car. There has however been a tendency in recent years for finance companies to sell personal loans rather than HP. In this case most of the rights given to the customer under the CCA 1974 are taken away - chiefly the right to voluntarily terminate the agreement upon paying half the total payable. Many people who have taken these loans have no idea they have a loan instead of HP as the forms they sign look very similar. If you have one of these loans you do have a right to sell the car and the finance company has no right to register an interest on experian/HPI. Many of them do register an interest but if they have you can have it removed.

I will take it that the agreement has now been paid off and you are wanting them to remove it so you can sell the car on. If they won't remove it i beleive the best way to do is contact the people that run the HP register requesting them to remove it.

Thats the point - its not a secured loan, nor a HP agreement, so they shouldnt be able register their interest in it!

 

 

Depends what type of laon it is as far as i am aware. If it is a secured car loan them i am sure they would be within there rights to add their interest.

Have done so - and this is their reply:

I have spoken to one of our finance team and they have confirmed that Black Horse will not remove the financial interest against the vehicle, even if it is a personal loan. All we can recommend is that you get a letter from Black Horse confirming that the personal loan will not cause a problem with the sale of the vehicle.

I dont think this is an acceptable reponse and have replied reaffirming the fact that what they are doing is a misuse of the register - watch this space!

 

Then i agree they can't add interest and as such i would speak to HPI to have it removed

The reply to the reply to the above email was as follows:

 

Dear Mr Hosgood

 

We are unable to comment further in reference to your email, we can only advise you contact the finance company as previously mentioned in the email.

 

Regards

Barbara

 

So a letter has been sent to Black Horse, it will be interesting to see the reponse!

 

Richard

 

I would agree with you if it is a personal loan then they have no right to register any interest in the car as they don't have it. I would recommend writing to Blackhorse requesting them to remove it

Of course, if you really want to get the finance company to scratch their corporate head you could ask them under which statute they they alledge they have the authority to register the car!

 

I have a kind of hunch the answer, (if they give a direct one), could be interesting.

My 'hunch'? I don't know of any legislation giving anyone the right to register their interest in unsecured goods. Secured goods, (as in subject to a Hire Purchase Agreement, Secured Loan, Mortgage etc.), maybe, but not unsecured (as in financed by a Personal Loan such as those used for car purchase).

 

I could well be wrong though!!! Anyone know for sure????

 

If you do ask the question though, I would love to see the answer, please.

This is a copy of the letter which has been sent by me and received by Black Horse (recorded delivery)

 

To Sir or Madam:

 

Agreement number – XXXXXXXXX

Vehicle Registration – XXXXXXX

After recently obtaining a HPI check for the above vehicle (copy attached) I am concerned as to why there is an outstanding finance file shown against it.

 

I brought this vehicle with a Black Horse personal loan agreement, which is confirmed at the top of the signed agreement (copy attached).

 

As this is not a Hire Purchase Agreement, I respectfully request that you remove the file held against it on the HPI register and provide me with an explanation in writing as to why a file was placed as such.

I have been advised that unless the finance agreement is Hire Purchase, or a "secured agreement", no file should be placed on the HPI register and to do so is a serious misuse of it.

The signed agreement cannot be both a Personal Loan Agreement and a Hire Purchase Agreement – please confirm in writing which you deem the contract to be. If you deem the contract to be a Hire Purchase Agreement, then I request documentation detailing it as such.

Unless I receive a satisfactory response from Black Horse Ltd, replying to my above requests and giving written confirmation of the removal of, or the intention to remove, the file on the HPI register, I will report the misuse to the Finance and Leasing Association and proceed to take further legal action.

I would request that this letter is replied to within the next 14 days.

 

So we'll await the reply!

Richard

thats almost what i wrote first second and third (the third threatened legal action if they didnt reply!!)

 

their responce (in writing) was it IS a PERSONAL LOAN and that they are not removing thier interest unless i pay in full or the agreements ends in 3 years as planned....

 

i have no responded yet as unsure on wording!

yeah we arent disputing its a personnal loan, but that doesnt give them the right to register an interest in the item that was bought with it on the HPI register - to do that they need a HP agreement or a secured loan, which this isnt.

 

Its no different than going to the bank to borrow £3000 and spending it on double glazing for example - the loan isnt secured on the windows so they cant take them away nor can they register an interest in it so they get all the money back if you move house, so why do the same for a car?

 

BTW - Ive PM'ed you seeing as we are in the same boat I thought we may be able to assist each other on this bumpy road along which we tread - lol! :D

Black Horse Finance have caused me nothing but headaches.

 

I purchased a new vehicle with a previous girlfriend from a Kia showroom. After agreeing a price we arranged finance (Personal Loan) through our joint bank (Barclays) for the £22,000 it would be costing us.

 

As we arrived at the showroom to collect the vehicle the salesman who we had been dealing with suggested we took their finance as the rate was cheaper than what we were paying at Barclays. Before agreeing my partner and I asked for assurance that the loan would indeed be a PERSONAL LOAN. Meaning, that when it came to selling the car we would not have any problems selling it. I had personally been the victim of buying a car which had finance remaining on it back during the late 1980's, so I was aware of the potential issues involved in these matters.

 

After signing the finance agreement, which clearly stated PERSONAL LOAN at the top of the form we drove the vehicle away.

 

Two years later and my girlfriend and I went our separate ways, so we agreed that we would sell the car. This is where the grief began! After placing an advertisement a buyer viewed the vehicle and we arranged for him to collect it the following Friday. He would be paying by bank transfer and I assured him that there was no finance remaining on the vehicle.

 

However, on the morning when I was expecting the money to arrive into my bank account I received a call from the buyer stating that the HPi check he has initiated stated that there was finance remaining on the vehicle!

 

I immediately contacted the finance company who informed me that I would have to clear the remaining finance (approximately £7,000, which I did NOT have) before the car was legally owned by the new owner (who would not of course pay me until I had done this!)

 

Again, when I took out the loan I was assured that it was indeed a personal loan, meaning that the money could have been used for a holiday, new breasts, or indeed ANYTHING.

 

Had I ignored the Kia Salesman the matter would have been addressed by now. I would simply be paying off the outstanding amount each month without any problems.

 

The matter has now gone on for 10 MONTHS and the vehicle has depreciated further (meaning, the longer the matter goes on, the more money I lose)

 

I urge ANYONE considering taking a 'personal loan' through Kia/Black Horse Finance to THINK before doing so. It may be more expensive dealing with your personal bankers, but should you be considering selling the vehicle before the conclusion of the agreement and you do not have any spare cash, you will be SCREWED, and stuck with a vehicle you no longer need.
