    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?
    • 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.

    • 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.

Hello,

 

My sister has had a incident with my travel card.

 

When she was exiting the station a travel officer caught her using my card.

She admitted to the travel officer that she had used her husbands travel card as she did not know it was mine.

 

She had also informed him that he did not know her taking it.

She admitted to using it, and gave all her personal information.

 

He informed her that she would recieve a letter and now we have recieved that letter.

 

The letter states that she was reported 26th of October 2017 failing to produce a valid ticket, pass or photocard for the journey.

 

The facts of the incident are being considered and they are advising that legal proceedings may be taken against her .

 

In order for them to deal with our case correctly they want us to fill out the form on the reverse side.

 

We do not wish for her to be prosecuted and she has never been convicted before regarding anything.

 

I have not sent her appeal yet but I would like some advice before i send it

 

 

This is what I wrote in her appeal:

 

Dear Sir / Madam

I would like to inform you that all these years I have been living in the UK, I have never been part of such an incident as well as I have never been a part of any criminal activity and most certainly never fare dodged.

 

I feel so ashamed and depressed because of my ignorant decision.

It was not something I neither planned nor did intentionally;

rather it was more in the heat of the moment.

 

It has been a very stressful period for me and my husband since he is working full time and I am on maternity leave alone with toddler and baby during the days.

 

I literally have one free day a week when my husband has a rest day from his job, which lately I have been spending on gathering necessities for my children and relatives regarding our travel in November.

 

Therefore when I was to enter the station I notice that I am not carrying my own pocket book and I had already reached the entrance.

 

There was a long queue behind me stressing me so I panicked and used the card that was in the pocket book which I thought initially was my husbands.

 

After this whole incident I feel even more stressed, distraught sad but mostly ashamed.

I have had so much trouble sleeping and I barely have enough energy to take care of my kids.

 

I am so afraid of what will happen to me.

I will co-operate with you to the fullest and you have my guarantee that this will never be repeated.

 

I would like to make you aware that there is no excuse for what I did and I am ready to pay the maximum fine for my mistake.

 

I wish one day in the near future to return to work and continue my job search after starting a family, and a conviction would destroy my chances of finding a decent job to support and help provide for my family.

 

I beg and wish for you to have some understanding of my current situation and we can find our way towards a settlement.

 

 

If anyone can please read this through and advise me what I need to add and if there is someway we can settle this without her getting convicted?

 

If there is someone out there with similar experience and can inform us what our next step should be and what we should be prepared for I would appericate it so much

 

I would appericate it

My sister is so stressed out right now.

Thank you very much

 

I have updated my appeal and added a few things:

I left my apartment in such a rush and quickly picked up my keys, my purse and what i thought was my pocket book from the kitchen table, since I was already late for my vaccine appointment,

 

when I was to enter the station I notice that I am not carrying my own pocket book and I had already reached the entrance.

Since I did not have my own card and I know that i could pay for my ticket due to that I did not have my bank card or any cash with me since they were in my pocket book.

 

I was not thinking clearly and I was already so stressed since i left home so late and knew I had to be home so early.

All I could think of was coming home to my children that I had left with my husband so he would babysit them while I am away for my appointment.

I knew I had to be home early since he had a night shift the same day.

 

There was a long queue behind me stressing me so I panicked and used the card that was in the pocket book which I thought initially was my husbands.

 

After this whole incident I feel even more stressed, distraught sad but mostly ashamed. I have had so much trouble sleeping and I barely have enough energy to take care of my kids.

Hello and welcome to CAG.

 

The forum regulars should be along later, please don't send the letter until they've had a chance to read it.

 

You may be able to avoid a conviction depending on the full story, but it could be expensive in terms of offering to settle out of court. Has she used her husband's card before and are we talking about the kind of travel cards that are to be used with photo ID.

 

Best, HB

Thank you for your response, I will wait with sending the letter, we have until 6th of November to send it.

 

She has used my card not her husbands, she only stated that to the ticket officer.

 

It is a paper travel card with a photo ID

far too much waffle in that letter

 

is this the only time you have used the card by mistake?

 

if it is then a simple!, to the point, appeal letter offering to pay the equivient to any fines and reasonable admin fees should be enough to ensure an out of court settlement.

Can I ask a couple of other questions while we're waiting for the forum guys to arrive please?

 

Which train company is it? And has she used her husband's card more than once in the past?

 

HB

 

Im sorry I dont understand which train company it was matters here ?

She has never even done something like this. This was a mistake, Im not looking to make up some story I want to tell the truth

ok good.

 

not saying don't tell the story nor its not the truth

but if you waffle on

the point of your letter will be lost.

 

simply state there are mitigating personal circumstances which you will happily outline should that be necessary.

 

the point of the letter is to show genuine remorse

that it was a one off mistake.

a criminal record will destroy future employment prospects.

 

you wish to avoid such by offering an equivalent monetary sum to a fine and all reasonable admin fees in respect to seeking an out of court settlement

Because different train companies [TOCs] go about things different ways. I'm not asking out of curiosity, it's something we always ask people.

 

In writing this letter, it might be helpful to look at other threads with the same issue and the same TOC.

Dear Sir / Madam

On the day of the incident my husband was off work and I really had to buy necessities for our travels in November.

 

I left the apartment in such rush knowing I was already late to get out of the apartment.

 

My life has been such a mess since I had my second baby, knowing I have to prepare everything for them everyday and they never ever give me a second to stop and think about what I am actually doing. I have not been able to think clearly as well as I am not getting any sleep, and I'm constantly taking care of them from morning to evening.

 

I quickly picked up my stuff from the kitchen board, threw it in my handbag and rushed out.

 

Therefore when I was to enter the station I noticed that I am not carrying my own oyster folder where I had all my cards. I

 

had already reached the entrance and there was a queue behind me so I panicked because I was so stressed and knew that this was my only chance to buy the items I needed and I did not have time to go back and change my oyster pocket so I used the card that was in my oyster folder which i initially thought was my husbands.

 

I was certainly sure I did not have any money on me that day.

This was not something I planned nor did intentionally, rather it was more of in the heat of the moment.

 

I would like to make you aware that there is no excuse for what I did.

 

I feel so stupid, depressed but mostly ashamed for my ignorant decision.

 

I will co-operate with you to the fullest and you have my guarantee this will never be repeated again.

 

I would like to find a new job in the future and not return to my old one.

 

I wish to provide a better lifestyle and economy that I had when I was growing up.

A criminal record will destroy my future employment prospects, as I already am on maternity leave and my income is very low.

 

I beg and wish to avoid such by offering an equivalent monetary sum to a fine and all reasonable admin fees in respect to seeking an out of court settlement.

 

Your sister committed fraud to obtain a pecuniary advantage.

If it had been for misuse of a Blue Badge, she may have been prosecuted/penalised and the BB could have been seized.

Why did she have access to your travel card?

 

She did a mistake and had mine, since i left it on the counter and she mistaked my oyster folder for hers

Honeybee is absolutely right, keep your letter only to the details that the train operating company are concerned with

 

Whilst it may seem uncharitable to some, your management of your affairs are your concern.

 

The company are not concerned with this, what they have is evidence that you attempted to use someone else's pass to travel on that day.

 

You say that you picked up the wrong card in error, do you have one of your own?

 

Make sure you send evidence that you held a VALID pass of your own if you did have one, then apologise and ask if they will consider letting this be dealt with by a warning

 

If not, they have a strong case, but you may again wish to offer a sincere apology, promise never to travel without a valid ticket again and offer to pay the fares due and any reasonably incurred costs to deal with this without further action

 

The company do not have to agree, but it is your best option if you are to avoid a more costly outcome
