    • 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.

Hi all,

I have for the past few months been in dispute with Lowell regarding an old Studio account,

 

now because they now have confirmation of where I live

- they seem to have linked a really old account from Cabot (this was an old Barclays overdraft from over 10 years ago) which i'm sure we haven't made contact or payment on for well over 6

- however i can't be 100%. Is there a way of finding out for definite?

 

The first letter went along the lines of 'now we know where you live blah blah - you owe £***'.

 

Two weeks later another letter arrived saying we will accept £55 to clear the balance lol

- why would they do this?

 

is it because they know the debt is unenforceable and are out for any amount?

 

The debt doesn't show on any credit report.

.. what's the best course of action?

Thank you in advance

 

M

You shouldn't be running away from debt

You run the risk of backdoor ccj'sif you dont update debt owners with your current address

 

Send them a cca request

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi

Sorry I probably mislead there

– the letter read as if they now have confirmation of where I live…

we are certainly not running away from anything,

we have lived at our current address for a long time.

 

This is just an old debt, so old I can’t recall when we last made a payment and I just wanted to know where we stood legally

i.e. is it possible to find out when the last payment was made,

would a CCA request apply to a Barclays overdraft?

 

Thanks

Sorry dx - this is the Barclays overdraft account, the original account was the cat debt (i was just explaining how the two are linked). We weren't at this address when we took it out but have communicated with them since we've lived at this address - it's just a long time ago.

I’d need to double check to be 100% but I’m fairly certain due to the length of time we’ve lived here.

 

Coincidentally I arrived home today to find a letter addressed to myself

- the initial one I mention here is in my partners name.

 

I also had a Barclays overdraft (was passed from the Woolwich - I never actually banked with Barclays!) and I’ve received a similar letter so it may just be coincidence.

 

Either way the debts are both originally Barclays now being chased by Cabot Financial, and both are extremely old.

 

The last time I recall paying is 2007 but I do remember communicating with them since then, it’s just been so long obviously and I didn’t expect to hear from them to be honest. I guess you should always expect the unexpected...

Unless that communication was more recent than 2012 and an admission that you do indeed owe them the money it wont be relevant.

 

telling stories on behalf of other people as being in the first person then adding further stories that are about you does cause confusion so how about a proper timeline for the event, so I had an overdraft that I didnt pay off in 2007 or my partner had an overdraft......

 

then say in about 2010 I/he wrote to barclays...... on the xth of sept 2018 I/he got a letetr from caot stating....

 

if you have also had a letter about a different debt then keep that separate and create a timeline for that in a new paragraph

 

.By all means number them so we know that debt 1 is partners from catalogue , debt 2 is yours from barclays and so on.

 

They will all be slightly different even if Lowells are chasing them all

Hi Ericsbrother

I'm so sorry - i really didn't mean to confuzzle anyone, it all seems to make total sense as i'm typing. I genuinely don't mean to annoy anyone - i so appreciate your time and advice even more.

 

So here goes - firstly:

#1 - this debt is in my partners name and the letter is from Cabot (I initially thought that they were linked to Lowell - and now i can't work out how to edit the thread title) this relates to a Barclays bank debt which was originally an overdraft on an account he no longer used after bank charge reclaim in 2007, he was trying to repay this initially but we relocated up country and hit hard times so unfortunately had to stop making payments.

 

#2 - this debt is in my own name and the letter is also from Cabot, also relating to a Barclays bank overdraft debt for an account which was no longer used after a bank charge reclaim in 2007. Repayments similarly had to stop when we hit hard times.

This evening I have actually found the original notice of assignment from Barclays which shows that they sold the debt to Cabot on 08/04/2011, I have the letter from Cabot to say they purchased it, and the debt amount is the same on the 2011 letter as it is on the 2018 letter which proves that no payments were made in that time as i suspected.

 

I can't however locate the same paperwork for my partners account but i'm pretty certain its the same scenario and that no payments were made either.

 

I'm also rather puzzled as to why they wrote to say they now have confirmation of our address - i found letters this evening dating back to 2013 so they have had our address all along!!

 

So where do i go from here? Are the debts too old for them to pursue?

 

Thank you again and sorry for the messy posts :-(

so #1,when did he stop paying?

#2 statute barred so they can go whistle

what do the letters from 2013 say and which account do they relate to? If they acknowledge recipt of payments then that account is not SB Telling us about this under the heading of #1 or#2 would have made it clear rather than leaving us guessing what you are referring to again

Hi again,

 

In response to dx - no these are two completely separate accounts...

 

In response to Ericsbrother -

#1 - I can't be 100% certain but I am fairly sure he hasn't made payment for well over 8 years, I will have another dig for paperwork this evening but i am pretty sure because we wouldn't have been able to pay one without the other. The money we had from bank charge reclaim went on relocating so we didn't even benefit as such from that really.

 

#2 - The letters from 2013 are addressed to myself (sorry i didn't add the detail before :-( i'm not doing very well am I) - and oddly says ' Cabot has recently bought the account, etc, please contact us asap to arrange payment', I received 2 of those and heard nothing more until now.

 

Do i need to send a letter regarding it being Statute barred? I don't want them adding this to my credit record all of a sudden :-(

 

Please let me know if you need any more info and i'll try to be clearer.
