    • 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.

Hi Cagger's

 

I know I've been very dumb I know it, anyway I bought something from Bright house last year and I was told if I did not have contents insurance I would have to take out the OSC.

 

In fact I was dumb again the same year and bought something else and was told exactly the same thing.

 

It is my intention to pay these items off and no longer use bright house. but I have since learnt that you can cancell the OSC at any time and I have already drafted a letter using a template from this site.

 

However, I am reading conflicting information about getting a refund for the OSC I have already paid. Is it possible to have this refunded and applied to my account to reduce the amount I owe?

 

I was clearly missold these items as I now understand the line about having contents insurance is bull****.

 

Thanks people

Can someone confirm if it is straight forward to claim back OSC or if they will fight this in court?

do you have all your agreements which shows the amounts paid in OSC? If not you will need to send a sar request.

Its a straightforward process but no 2 cases are the same and you must be prepared to go through to court if necessary.

There are many successful threads for BH, have a good look through them to familiarise yourself with what you will need to do.

Good Morning UnmoderatetheNet,

 

Thank you for your feedback.

 

As part of our standard procedure we provide all our customers with an explanation of the key terms of the credit agreement using an agreement guide presenter. Optional Service Cover (OSC) is completely optional and can be cancelled without penalty with just 7 days’ notice, however you would then not be entitled to the following benefits:

• Repair or replacement

• Loan products

• Full returnability without charge

 

By law hire purchase goods do not need to be covered by your insurance products, however full ownership of a product isn’t transferred to customers until the last payment is made on their agreement(s). Therefore, we must ensure that our goods are covered for Fire, Theft and Accidental Damage. Customers can take this cover through a home contents policy. We offered DLC to customers who did not wish to take out a home insurance policy or alternative cover.

 

I have logged this for you under the reference: 257482, I kindly request that you contact our Customer Relations department on 0800 526 069 and quote the above reference so we can look into this further for you.

I might have been a dumb *^#+^^* for buying something from BH but seriously do you honestly expect me to listen to one of your telephone [removed]/sales people try to convince me that black is white and that you'll give me a twenty pound voucher if I don't ask for all my money back?

Bright house are now telling me that the additional service cover can not be stopped because it is built into the price of the laptop I bought.

 

First off is this true, they are known for their bull****.

 

Second if it is true what are my options?

 

Do I have go down the small claims court route.

 

Thanks people

Ignore them. It can be stopped regardless of what they say. If they say it's included in the price then sar for a full breakdown as it's forcibly missold

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

When did you fall for their sales pitch and become one of their victims?

 

Pre or post 27th April 2015?

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

Pre April 2015

 

November 2014 to be exact.

 

I'm guessing that's a bad thing right :(

 

On the contrary, it is a good thing, as after that date they moved the goal posts to suit their needs, and it was added in to the price, so

yet again, they're talking nonsense, do you have it in writing, or was it just something one of their employees told you?

 

If you have their name then I'd be telling them if they wish to lose their job and be done for fraud to continue with their lies.

 

If not, then remove the useless cover and refund the amount they have taken off you/

BrightHouse require hire purchase goods to be covered against damage caused by fire, theft or accidental damage.

We regularly talk to customers to understand how we can deliver better value for them.

Whilst a great many of our customers do not have a separate home contents insurance policy and therefore greatly value our Product Insurance offering, this is not true for all of our customers. We will therefore now be offering our customers the choice of how they wish to benefit from the peace of mind that Product Insurance can offer.

If you took out your agreement from the 27th April 2015 and you did not have a home contents insurance policy or alternative insurance to cover Hire Purchase goods, our Product Insurance is available.

Product Insurance Cover provides cover for loss arising from the theft of your hire purchase goods or any loss or damage to them caused by fire or accident. It does not cover you if you lose the product (subject to Terms and Conditions).

If you took out your agreement prior to the 27 April 2015, our Protection Benefit Policy is included in the cash price of the product; therefore there is nothing extra to pay. The insurance provides cover for loss arising from the theft of your goods or any loss or damage to them caused by fire or accident. It does not cover you if you lose the product.

It does not cover loss or damage to anything other than hire purchase goods provided by BrightHouse. (subject to Terms and Conditions).

For more information on product cover click here.

I'm really confused becuase if you remember my original post. The cover on my laptop is built into the price, not additional. hence the reason why I need help.

 

How can you remove something that is built in?

 

I took out my contract out prior to april 2015 so basically Im shafted. :(

 

 

On the contrary, it is a good thing, as after that date they moved the goal posts to suit their needs, and it was added in to the price, so

Its forcibly sold. Therefore it is technically missold. They think they can say " if you dont want it, dont shop with us", but it doesnt work like that, and thats terrible business sense anyway

okay if laptop cost x and they charge Y becuase they add the extra insurance and other cover. How do go about getting the extra removed from payments?

 

I'm not seeing any sucess stories on here of people who managed to achieve this.

 

Sure getting the add ons stopped and removed seems more than double but when its built into the price???

 

Anyone

You SAR them or demand a FULL itemised breakdown of the amounts, and what they are attributed to.

 

You wont see many success stories, because very few people actually try and reclaim, or they do, and then dont update the thread.

 

Be warned though, you may have to go through SCC to get the money.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..
