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

    • 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.

unaffordable fees for Halifax overdraft

Hi All,

 

I have had a Halifax account for a long time. but it has a massive overdraft (8,700) It was our own fault and very stupid, we were really struggling with money at the time _ it was a few years back -can't even remember how long, but we had a small overdraft

 

we went on line to increase it a bit to cover us for that month, it was so easy, we went back in and did it again till it finally declined at the above amount, but I'm sure we managed to increase it by about 4,000 in one day!

 

things were ok and we were being charged about £100 each month in fees for always being in the overdraft.

 

but in april (I think ) the fees changed to £12.42 per day for us which is about £372 per month!.

 

There's no way I can afford that!.

 

I have a basic current account with the Halifax which I've been using as my main account for some time, but no income is paid into the overdraft account at all now.

 

it's already being recorded on my credit file as two months in arrears and the balance is now about £9100.

 

I want to pay them back but at £372 just for the fees it would be impossible.

 

but I also don't want another default, as my credit record will be clean in 2 years and we're selling up to rent and clean up our credit records so a new default for another 6 years won't be good!

 

Is there anything I can do to avoid this? and make an offer to them to pay what's owed?

Move your bank account to another parachute account. Get salary paid in there etc. (I see you already have)

Then speak to Halifax and ask them to limit the OD Fees... I do believe they have the ability to do this.

 

Halifax are quite naughty because they dont limit the OD Fees on Arranged Overdrafts,

I bank with NAtionwide and pay a flat fee of 50p a day on whatever my OD is when in use as a Flexplus member..

The amount you are paying is obscene by no means. You may end up getting a default which its one small thing but Halifax need to do more to resolve this.

 

Dont forget to record your calls.

 

We could do with some help from you.

the thing is they've put me way over my limit with the just the fees.

 

I want to write to them and say that I am willing to pay them back at £150 per month, as soon as I sell my house I plan to clear them completely anyway,

 

but I just don't want and extra default on my credit report, if I come to an arrangement with them, can the default be avoided?

 

can anyone help me with what to write them please?

You may get AP Markers against the account. Just to be clear i checked with a CRA about AP Markers and against a current account they would disappear 6 years from the Default / Settled Status.

Some would say they stay forever but that is only if they persist with the AP markers and dont default you. Its their policy that will define what they do. You may end up with a default anyway paying a reduced rate,

 

Check our library. Im pretty sure we have letters for this to reduce the amount paid.

Failing that i could help draft something but it would be for a few days... I have a stupid amount of interviews to go to :/

Sorry Andy and DX, didn't realise that was a link to the letters - thank you.

 

Just one other thing, would I be using the 2Ask Creditor to Accept Pro-Rata Payments **Correct as at October 2013**" letter or should it be "Request to make £1 token payments for X Months **Correct as at October 2013** " although the latter won't open?

 

I also want to ask them not to default me, as I am currently trying to re-mortgage or sell - to hopefully pay this off in full! it will make it impossible if they default me!

I wouldn't...they would go a head and register just to spite .......offset is always an option to them depending how far down the debt path you run with it.

Hi all,  ok not been back for a w while had a lot going on. but to catch up, I contact Halifax to explain that I was willing to make payment , thye asked me to complete an income and expenses form etc.  due to house selling issues I was having, I neglected to do this and the account got closed and passed to Wescott.

 

Wescott wrote a couple of times and I went to their website and made an arrangement to pay approx. 1 week ago.  one strange this is that all letters were addressed to my husband and none to me - (it was a joint account)

 

Anyway, the other day I checked my noddle credit report and found that halfax have registered a default, but I never got a default notice!

 

This can't be right - or is it different for overdrafts - any advice greatly appreciated!

Hi again,  well I decided not to make payment to Westcott, as I need to sort out the default.

 

Can Halifax register a default like that?  I have checked though all papers received and did not receive a default notice at all.  any advise please?

But you have defaulted as per your opening post re untenable charges...just because you didn't receive it does not mean you have not defaulted.

Ask them for a copy.

ok but if they never sent it in the first place then that cannot be right.  I admit it is my fault that I wasn't able to pay them but it also their fault that their fees jumped from around £90- £100 per month to approx. £370!  and they quickly started reporting that I was not keeping up!

Hi again, 

I don't want to bang on about it,

but I heard there were some changes to overdraft fees that they were switching from daily fees to monthly interest rate. 

 

Now as I explained before my fees went from £100 per month to £372 and I tried to come to an arrangement with the Halifax but they were not very helpful.

 

Now I do need to ask the question again regarding the default,

I just need to know if they should have sent a Default notice for an overdraft or does this only apply to credit cards? 

 

I am not asking if anything would have been different or if I would have paid it straight away if I had received a default notice.

 

I am going to do a SAR to Halifax anyway, but I would like to know if they should have sent a default notice.?

 

Thanks

Yes they should...its not actually called a default notice...its a recall/demand/termination Notice.

 

Notice served under Sections 76(1) and 98(1) of the CCA1974
