    • 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...
    • I would say You should accept it - I HIGHLY doubt you will  be able to claim for letters at trial ans they’re offering you that, which is higher monetary value than interest.   Also they raise a good point, getting interest at anything above 4% is lucky these days, yes judges give it, but rarily above 4%   Also you might find depending on the judge  you don’t get some costs if you take it all the way over £7.40 when court woukdnt award letters costs and thus meaning their award would be less than evris offer which was made    Up to you though but the wait will be 3-4mo for a trial date at least
    • Hi Folks, Been 162 days! Just by way of update. Today I received a text from Opos Ltd so no doubt Capquest are renting the debt out to anybody who fancies a nibble. Safe to say I will not be responding.

    • 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.

There are so many different numbers that blocking them is going to make no difference at all.

 

Should've tried Purple Bricks! Maybe renting though. I was thinking Nysti that any num that shows in your phone log which is not a named contact, you could pick out and block or block straight after you see a rogue num. Hope he gets a new home soon or changes his mind for you:-D

companies that make bespoke items of clothing that then dont fit but expect you to pay the balance ( a massive amount, it is a wedding dress) before they will alter it properly but cant do it for another 3 months. Well, if I am paying the balance I want to take the item away and bring it back when you can do the work so that way I know it is covered by insurance and exactly where it is all the time

Been having trouble using my card over the last week. Finally managed to get into town why this was. I was told another card had been ordered and he couldn't tell me anything more.

 

My card has been compromised.

 

Having checked my emails, it turns out I'd ordered something with a dodgy company. Couple things that are a bit weird - order was February and I've changed cards since.

you try typing when you have multiple sclerosis. I can assure you that any sort of physical co-ordination is very difficult so hitting the key one letter away from the intended one is pretty good for me.

Funnily enough, the regular contributors here seem to have got used to it and dont go round making a meal of peoples grammar or spelling even when they dont know the background of the poster.

Still at least I didnt hoist myself by my own petard.

This post, because of spelling and grammar mistakes. :-)

Surely should read "this post because of mistakes in spelling and grammar"

last night, caller from a DCA for a person who has never lived at my address, they claimed they were given it as a work address. Yeah right, perhaps I run a factory in my garage. That still doesnt fulfil the requirements for debt collection activity. Luckily for them my wife answered or they would be looking for a dentist this morning.

adverts

switched on the radio, adverts.

tv on, adverts. changed channel, adverts.

they all are at the same time re the tv.

adverts all the time, and they are stupid ads.

went on a beeb channel. no adverts but not much worth watching, despite the fee.

at least attenborough is having a whale of a time. fair play.

todays is an odd one. A supermarket opened about 3 years ago near to a well established newsagents and now the neswagent has closed down but the new shop, having succeeded in taking all of the business has failed to stock enough neqwspapers to cover the demand from the closed shop. I now have to walk 2 miles to get a paper but shall be doing my shopping whilst I am out and will probably continue to do so rather than risking a fruitles journey.

wnet to my local supermarket today for newspaper- sold out again (3 out of last 4 days because locla McColls shut down and they didnt ordr enough papers to make up for the shortfall) so walked a mile to next supermarket to get paper. i was behind a gentlemen who bougt £8 worth of groceries including some reduced price cherries for a quid. The bar code wouldnt scan and nor would the tillaccept the 32 digit stock code so supervisor called. took 6 minutes to make the sale go trhough. i told them after 3 minute to just give the bloke the cherries as it would be cheaper than the cost of sorting the problem. Well, they smiled at me and carried on regardless. my calculations are that the staff time spent on this was 80p for an item that will have been sold at near cost anyway. iwas right, woulf have been cheaper for the store to give them to him and get on with serving someone else. i shant be going back in a hurry as I can use the wasted 6 minutes to walk to the next shop

and tonight on telly we will have the Oscars ceremony. This follows on from the BAFTAS and BRITs and god knows how many more awards shindigs for actors and the like.

 

Why dont they televise the British Parking Association "clamper of the year" ceremonies or other trade association events? People get paid lots of money for acting when they get to the oscars level so an equivalent may be the CBI's "most money grubbing chairman of a PLC" awards as they all seem to live on a merry-go-round where failure is rewarded better than success by a good few million.

 

I watched a film on telly last night that if I had gone to the cinema to watch I would have walked out halfway through and demanded a refund. I certainly dont want to see the same people walking on stage and telling me that they spnet the last 10 years making millions out of Miramax and now dont want anything to do with it and knew all along Harvey was a menace to innocent millionaires, well, send the money and awards back then you bunch of hypocrites.
