    • 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.

In december 2007 and Feb 2008 Mint issued default notices.

 

Eventually they CCJ'd me on 24 Oct.

 

Because I didnt put in any defence there wasnt an agreed payment plan

 

They contacted me by letter on 13 Nov and enclosed a financial statement to be returned which was completed and sent with a cheque for £35.

 

The cheque was returned and I received an Interim Charging order dated 5th Nov.

 

I rang Green & Co (Mints Solicitors) and asked why they had issued the interim charging order they said because I hadnt paid. I then asked them whether I should defend the claim in my Local court and they said no, it was a formality.

 

Having discovered this wonderful forum now I have since CCA'd mint and surprise, surprise, they immediately came back with an enforceable agreement.

 

What if anything can i do to rectify this situation? Help please.

I have now gone through my paperwork and found the original default notice which I think is probably unenforceable

 

The letter is dated 24th December 2007 and the payment was due on 7th January.

 

It is unlikely that their mail would have been collected on xmas eve or the 25th or 26th Dec. and it is also quite likely that I wouldnt have received it until the 2nd or 3rd January 2008 in effect only givimng me 3-4 days to raise funds.

 

Your guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

You are quite correct

 

No matter how they try and swing it, a DN sent on the 24th December cannot have an action date of 7th January

 

The Default notice is invalid and you should apply for a set aside on this basis

 

Hopefullly someone with more knowledge than me can help - try posting a link to this thread on the main consumer credit agreements thread

Just to add

 

The 14 days given must be CLEAR days

 

That is, not including the day the DN was received OR the day upon which they require action

 

By my calcs, the earliest they can claim you received the DN would be 31st December (and thats being VERY generous and allowing 1st class post) so your "action" date should be 15th January.

 

 

Can you scan the DN (removing all personal info) and post it up here?

Well would you believe it I have found a second default notice from Mint dated February 2008 allowing me 17 days to respond.

 

Surely they cant default me twice fro the same debt and surely the only default notice that can stand is the first one using an argument I have seen I think by x20.

 

So therefore by his reasoning I will only owe the arrears on the acount as listed on the first notice as the second default was already on a terminated account.

 

Am i reading this correctly?

 

The only downside I can see to this is that I paid £200 to Mint on the 7th January which is the day AFTER default had to be paid and was not the amount asked for in the original default notice - it was less than half the required payment.

 

Thanks

Hi PCD,

 

Lookin in as requested........

 

Is this a credit card account.

 

Did you defend your case at all before the CCJ was made against you.

 

Can you post up the Agreement which you say is enforceable, and the 2 DN's.

 

Are there any late payment or over limit charges included in the amount they claimed at court.

Looking through your posts Pussycatdoll, you have to get a set aside due to unlawful charges added to the account. To have your judgement set aside you will need to put forward a reason why. You must keep your reason as clear and simple as possible.

 

If the judgment is set aside, things go back to the start of the claim. You have another chance to reply to the Claim Form, and explain your situation. The CCJ is taken off the County Court Register until a new judgment is made.

 

You need to ask the court for a general application form called an N244. You should fill in the N244 to include the information the court asks for. There is a fee of £35. Meanwhile you need to add up all of the charges going back 6 years and get a figure ready for a defence. Do you already have all of your statements? If not then you will need these for proof and a counterclaim for the charges. You may need to send an S.A.R.(Subject Access Request) for the data they hold on you. There is a letter in the library for you to copy over.

 

If the judgment is set aside by the court, this means that the proceedings go back to the claim stage and any enforcement action is also cancelled. You have a new opportunity to fill in the reply to the claim form, make an offer of payment or put in any defence or counterclaim.

 

Having a judgment set aside does not wipe out the proceedings altogether but the details will be removed from the Register of Judgments, Orders and Fines until a new judgment is made.

I have taken your advice onboard and will send off a SAR today as this will definitely reinforce my case. However, and I am not sure about this, I would have thought that I should be able to get a set aside based on the initial default not allowing enough time to comply and that they have used this default in their POC.

I think if you apply for the set-aside on the basis of unlawful penalty charges AND the DN(s), you will have a better case.

 

Better to have the 2 points to contend as the court may not be impressed that you fail to defend at all when the case was heard.

 

Do you not have recent statements to show if penalty charges were made to the a/c.

 

Also, see what you can find to back up your contentions about the DN's.

Have now found some relevant statements quite a few £12 charges and one at £20 further back - I would imagine that when I SAR them I will find a few more.

 

I dont suppose the £12 charges would be classed as penaltie - or are they?

I would get a set aside based on unlawful penalty charges, Default notice, CCJ was not defended at the time. That will buy you some time to get your charges information and stop any further action by the claimant. Should be interesting to see how much they have charged.

 

Roughly how much is owing on the account?

They most certainly are penalties - unlawful ones too, which must be repaid in full !! Send the SAR ASAP.

Well thats a shock I must say - I thought that I couldnt claim those back - brings a whole new meaning to my claim against Citibank - I will have to redo my figures!!

 

I will get SAR off first thing in morning.

 

So what is the reasoning - I have been defaulted for the wrong amount or that the amount they claimed at court was incorrect.

 

A short explanation would be useful and perhaps some links so that i can read up on it.

Your Application on form N244 for Set-Aside of the Judgement againt you will rely on:-

 

1. The inclusion of unlawful penalty charges in the Default Notice(s) rendering it incorrect.

 

2. The inclusion of unlawful penalty charges in the Claimants POC rendering it incorrect.

 

Until the N244 is Filed at court, if you receive anything from RBS/Mint, their solicitors or a DCA, write and tell them:-

 

Dear sir or madam,

 

Claim No: 5XY12345

 

I refer to your letter of xxdate.

 

Please be aware that it is now my intention to apply to the xxxxxx County Court for a Set-Aside of the Judgement made against me on xxdate.

 

I have taken advice in this matter and realise that I had valid grounds on which to defend against the claim. I will also ask the court to reconsider the Interim Charging Order made in this respect.

 

Until this matter is dealt with and heard in court, you should withhold any collection activity.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

PCD
