    • 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...
    • 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

    • 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.

Call the FCA and discuss it with them.. they should be able to sort things out for you going forward. At least you will have registered a complaint against their atrocious behaviour.

Thanks for that sillygirl1.

 

Meanwhile, I submitted a "prove-it" demand to MMF. I received a reply today.

 

"We write with regard to the above referenced account number and recent communication.

 

Please find attached as requested:

 

1. Copy agreement information.

 

Please contact us within 14 days from the date of this communication to agree a payment plan which is both realistic and affordable to you. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can visit our website http://www.mmile.com where you can complete a financial assessment form and submit it to us with your payment proposal."

 

The copy agreement info states, correctly, that I took out a loan on 23/12/13 for £200, to be repaid in two separate simultaneous payments, one of £60 interest, one of £200 principal, on 31/12/13. Except Cash Genie only took the interest, and rolled the loan over repeatedly of their own accord and without my knowledge, month after month.

 

MMF have also supplied a "statement of account" for 04/05/15 to 04/05/16. This gives the date of the agreement as 30/05/14, amount of principal loan advanced £200, opening balance at start of statement period £60, closing balance at end of statement period £60.

 

Can they not see what's wrong with this picture??

Having gone through my bank statements I can also see that the loan arrived in my account on 27/12/13 (i.e. 4 days late) and the interest was taken from my account on 30/12/13 (i.e. 1 day early)......

Quick update. I fired off a formal complaint to MMF on 15th November.

 

"Dear Sirs,

 

FORMAL COMPLAINT

 

Your statement of account is incorrect. I repaid £260 to Cash Genie, which was the amount due to them under the original terms and conditions of the loan agreement.

 

Cash Genie broke their own terms and conditions by:

1)Releasing the loan on the 27/12/13 (i.e. 4 days late).

2)Debiting my interest repayment on 30/12/13 (i.e. 1 day early).

3)Rolling over the loan of their own accord, with neither my knowledge or consent. This is a blatant rip-off technique to attempt to defraud customers of additional interest repayments. It is also something for which Cash Genie are notorious, and one of the reasons which led to their liquidation and redress programme.

 

Cash Genie also issued a default notice on 1/8/14 for £0.00, which is clearly nonsensical, and entered a default on my credit report. This gave an account start date of 30/5/14 (incorrect), a regular repayment of £140 (incorrect), a date of default of 30/6/14 (i.e. one month before the default notice, and one month after the incorrect account start date) and a default sum of £260 (nonsense). This default subsequently vanished.

 

You have since added a default to my credit report with an account start date of 30/5/14 (incorrect again), a date of default of 25/6/16 (not only incorrect, but well outside of the 3-6 month period by which defaults should be placed). You are not the original creditor and therefore may not add or create a new default, only update an existing one. The existing Cash Genie default was removed. Your entry on my credit record is entirely incorrect, invalid, misleading, defamatory and unlawful. I must therefore demand its immediate removal from all credit referencing agencies, or will report you to the FCA, consider legal proceedings against your organisation and seek financial compensation.

 

I also note your company has recently agreed a redress programme with the FCA.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

[me]"

Meanwhile, the texts and letters from Moriarty Law have continued, threatening the usual court action/CCJ/6 more years of credit report hell etc...

 

Shouldn't Moriarty Law be drinking a nice big fresh cup of shut the **** up whilst this is the subject of a formal complaint?

Hi

I think it's safe to say that you can prove that CG messed up. Can you confirm whether the letter says 'Letter Before Action'.

 

I feel an email or letter to Moriarty (nice name eh sherlock) instructing them to cease their actions as this matter is under dispute with MMF. Failure to do so will result in formal complaints to them and their regulatory body and to refer this matter back to their client.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

UPDATE:

 

Amusing email from MMF today:

 

"We have reviewed the content of your complaint and are unfortunately unable to comment on any of the service issues which relate to Cash Genie. Each of your concerns relate to actions which occurred prior to us purchasing the debt and would need to be addressed with Cash Genie.

 

However, as Cash Genie have now entered into insolvent liquidation, we have taken the decision to write off the remaining balance and close your account. Any information which is shared on your credit file will also be removed."

 

So, a result.

 

However, this raises a couple of questions which have been at the back of mind for nearly a year:

 

1)If a DCA is "unable to comment" on the conduct of an OC, or verify their information, how are they able to act on it?

 

2)If an OC is in insolvent liquidation, why are alleged debtors being chased (rather than, say, creditors, for distribution of the insolvent company's assets)? All seems a bit arse about face to me...

 

Perhaps I should follow up with a complaint regarding MMF's conduct to the FOS anyway.

 

Thanks for all the help - it has certainly kept me going!

Well done. That is what we like to see.

 

As the matter is now closed, there will be nothing to go to the FOS about.

 

When a DCA buy a debt, all they get is the basic details so when push comes to shove, they will be unlikely to substantiate what they are claiming.

 

When a company becomes insolvent, the administrators have to maximise what income they can get and by selling the loan book to MMF, they got something back for the creditors. MMF take on all the risk and will succeed sometimes and in others will give up.

 

Give them a month to clear your credit file and if they don't do as stated then you can complain.

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.
