    • 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,

 

Question for Martin if you're available. You mention that Admin Charges for closing a mortgage are reclaimable. Because we redeemed a mortgage with Mortgages 2 Ltd early, we were forced to pay an "administration fee" of £14,000. I know this is an early redemption charge, but the bank itself does not call it this. Therefore isn't their admin fee reclaimable? I mean, I think I could argue this.

Hi,

 

Letting you know that, having taken Mortgages 2 Limited to court for penalties, broker commission and ERC, totalling £18,000, we have settled. Accepted £4,000 just before allocation questionnaires were due. I know this is not a lot, but I want to focus on my other case, against G E Money.

 

This does show, however, that Mortgages 2 don't really want to go to court. Our case, by the way, was based on a Mortgage in 1999.

 

Frustrated.

Sorry to post this here but I don't know how else to ask Frustrated, but I think Mortgage 2 LTd are connected to Mortgages PLC and I am interested in your case as that is who I plan to go after for arrears charges. I don't think they were my best option at the time I was put on to them, so would the broker have earny a fortune out of it? I suspect so, how did you find out the cost of the comission?

 

Any advice appreciated!

I took out a fixed combination mortgage with Abbey National in 1999. Fixed for 6 years with a £2200 cashback.

This was at a fixed rate of 6% + an additional 1.45% to cover the cashback. Total rate was 7.45%.

In March 2003 , i had to redeem the mortage as Abbey wouldnt offer me a remortgage.

I had to pay back the cashback in full , £2200.

I also had to pay another penalty at the fixed rate of 7.45% for a penalty period of 300 on a balance of £35570.59 = £2178.08.

There is a section saying penalty period above the 300.

What I am claiming is why have i got to pay the 7.45% over the period of 300 [doesnt specify as to days or months] .

I would have thought it sghould be at 6% for 72 months.

 

Just wandering if anybody can help me out here please.

Can interest be reclaimed if it was added to arrangement fees and maintenance vouchers? Someone has been charged a whack of interest by buy as you view (see here (last few posts on thread http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/brighthouse/178450-buy-you-view-but.html) If it can be done, what letter can be suggested do she can start to re-claim?

I'm surprised this thread has not developed further. Isn't this what CAG is all about?

 

That list by Emanevs is pretty exhaustive. Part of the problem is understanding the context in which a particular lender charges a certain fee. To generalise however, perhaps it should be re-organised into three categories of claim - YES, POSSIBLY and NO-WAY HOSE!

 

At a stab, I'd probably go with

 

YES:

 

12) administration fee

14) returned direct debit fee

15) arrears charge

 

POSSIBLY:

 

1) ERC

2) Legal fee

3) Debt Counselling fee

4) Debt Counselling services

5) Personal secured loan charge for acting in this matter

9) payment option fee

10) discharge fee

11) Portable product additional borrowing fee

17) duplicate interim statement fee

18) insurance fee

19) discharge of mortgage fee

 

NO-WAY HOSE!:

6) Completion fee

7) Application fee

13) arrangement fee

16) solictors instruction fee

The matrix is intrinsically flawed. Within it is the program for it's own destruction. If you are reading this, you are in the matrix and it's days are numbered...so watch out! :eek:

I'm going to start a new thread about the decision I just received from the FOS, but thought I would stop by to say they have decided that I am NOT entitled to returned DD fees, arrears fees - except where my account was in credit, or brought up to date - a refund of solicitors fees where they cost less than GMAC had charged me, or any interest incurred by them adding this lot onto my balance.

 

Not a happy puppy! If anyone has any advice as to whether I should accept, please pop onto my thread re this, I'm going to title it Disappointing Mortgage Reclaim Outcome, and give your opinion as to what to do next.

 

Good luck to everyone still going through this!

Many on these Forums have warned about the conduct of the FOS in these matters so it's not surprising to hear them siding with "you know who" - disappointing as that may be.

 

The point is, the rulings by the FSA specifically relate to Mortgage accounts in Arrears and how lenders handle those charges and apply interest. The ruling by the SC re Bank Charges however is very narrow and is focused on current accounts of commercial banks NOT the general charges of other lenders e.g. mortgage charges.

 

The jury is still out somewhat as to what people should/n't be claiming regarding mortgages but the law is there for you to use if you want to pursue this. Many (including me) have had success with reclaiming some mortgage charges and others seem to have failed.

 

At the end of the day, thankfully YOU are not bound to accept the FOS decision and legal recourse remains available IF you are not happy with the way they conducted the matter. It may be that a court will take a much different view on your mortgage account charges if you go that route. It may also be that the lender in question will pay up after just the threat of court action or on receipt of initial court claim documents!

 

However, be warned that should you choose to go to court at this stage and the lender opts to defend, they may well cite the FOS ruling against your earlier claim so be prepared to argue against that possibility.

 

Can you post a link to your new thread?

Thanks, Bustthematrix. At the moment, I'm really ticked off, so I'm thinking I'm going to take further action - just have to do even more research now! Bleh! Lol!

 

Just noticed after I'd posted that earlier, they have added interest to the tiny amount they offered, but still been charged God knows how much interest on all of those arrears charges that were added to my balance.

 

My new thread is at : http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/mortgage-companies/255222-disappointing-mortgage-reclaim-outcome.html

 

Not too sure about links, to be honest, so I'm not sure if it'll work!

Hi Martin, I'd appreciate if you could clarify why you believe this cannot be claimed. I know a few people who are working on it at the mo. Thanks.
