    • 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.              
    • 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...

    • 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.

This case has been ongoing for over a year.

 

Nobody else has problems reclaiming unlawful penalty charges and interest because Egg does not have appetite to resist such claims, see 100 successes in V-E Day thread complete with template letters.

 

Claiming legal unenforceability of the debt on grounds of invalid CCA is an entirely different issue for which there have been very few reports of success againt Egg.

 

If you immediately action your charges reclaim (ordinary English letter will do, just as it sufficed for other claimants, some obtaining full refund within a week), Bryan Carter will understand there is little future in pursuing the charges part of the outstanding balance.

 

Not surprising if BC goes to court, If you make clear your circumstances via Income and Expenditure listing they will see no point seeking blood from the stone. In county court a judge would lay down a scheme of monthly payments based on your circumstances, no worse than a privately agreed scheme. If after one year with no movement achieved it would not be surprising if exasperated BC goes for a showdown.

 

If you believe you have the law on your side, you can make your case in county court. If not then better to settle out of court. A judge may not be impressed by reclaim of charges talked about but not actioned for a whole year.

Hi Mistermind

 

Thanks for replying, really appreciate it.:)

 

Would you recommend I send my 'reclaim letter for charges', with my 'Income and Expenditure form' together (I'm unemployed and on benefits), to BC or to Egg, or both?

 

Having it already being in the County Court, obviously I don't want to go down the CCJ route, should I make an offer with my Income & Expenditure Form or should I wait to hear back from them first?

 

Thanks.

 

Kind regards,

 

SKS

Charges reclaim letter should go direct to Egg. It would be useful to copy it to BC to show action is now under way and they cannot ignore it. If your charges form a significant part of balance outstanding, it will have a bearing on your repayment schedule. Egg will send back a standard template letter saying their charges are lawful and based on genuine preestimates. Upon your sending back a CAG template letter refuting Egg's arguments you should be getting an Egg refund within a few weeks or sooner, usually back into your Egg account.

 

It is BC who are pressing for negotiated time payments, and only they will be interested in I&E statement. If they mean what they said, action in 3 days, then clearly better to ring and let them know. Outfits like BC will have thousands of cases on the go, each case passes from person to person. If you speak to a person he is likely to update your account with a note to hold action, whereas a letter to them can get delayed or lost.

 

Obviously it can be unpleasant to talk to DCAs, but once your repayment schedule is agreed and adhered to, you would not have to repeat the process.

 

Good luck.

Hi Mistermind,

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

I rang up BC today and told them that I am writing to Egg to reclaim my charges and that I will be sending you (BC) my Financial statement to come to some sort of payment plan.

 

The person I spoke with at BC said they'll make a note on the account but it will only stay on hold until the end of the 14 day period they gave me (till Thursday 23rd October 2008.

 

Will keep you posted on how I get on.

 

Thanks again. :)

 

Kind regards,

Hiya

 

I received a letter from Egg regarding reclaiming my charges, and yes, they claim they are fair, which was expected.

 

I called BC today as I haven't heard back from them since I sent them my Financial statement and a proposal for a payment plan. They have received the letter and is on hold till xxth Nov 2008, and I was told that I should hear from them soon.

 

In the meantime, I have received the Allocation Questionairre from Court, should I go ahead and complete it, if so, is there any help/guide to completing this form?

 

Thanks.

Thanks Rory for replying.

 

I'm trying to complete the AQ N150, as I am the Defendant in this case, I'm a tad confused. :-?

 

The information received back from BC was a CCA, T&Cs for 2005 and 2007, and statements which show charges that have been applied to the account, and I haven't heard back from them since I sent them my Financial statement and a proposal for a payment plan. They have received the letter and was on hold till xxth Nov 2008, and I was told that I should hear from them soon. Obviously nothing to date.

 

My queries for the following sections please:

 

F) Proposed Directions - Do I need any, as I have proposed a payment plan to them with regards to my current Financial situation.

 

H) Fee - I have requested the claim to be suitable for Small Claims Track, and I'm on Job Seekers Allowance, am I correct in ticking NO in this case?

 

I) Other Information - Should I attach the letter I sent to BC with regards to a payment plan and Financial situation, and my letter to EGG regarding the Charges they have applied to the account?

 

Many thanks,

 

SKS

have a look on the n1 claim form from the court

look at the poc and what costs brian carter is asking for

with carter it will say about 250 quid and have the option to go after you for the remaning balance

250 quid being his costs

that way he gets paid first

 

if this is the case, the claim will be thrown out

Hi postggj

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

Having looked at the N1 form the following is in the POC section:

 

"The Claimants claim is for the balance due under an agreement which is now all due and payable.

The defendant agreed to pay monthly instalments under account number xxxxxxxxxxxxx but has failed to do so.

And the Claimant claims the sum of £xxxx

The claimant also claims interest thereon pursuant to S69 County Court Act 1984 limited to one year to the date hereof at the rate of 8% per annum amounting to 0.00"

The sum of £xxxx is the same as the amount on the recent statement I have had from them (EGG).

 

Hope that helps.

 

Thanks,

Hi all

 

3 years on from the Claim Egg did against me, Egg have now assigned the debt to Cabot Financial Ltd who have sent me NEW particulars of Claim, a whole new claim altogether!!

 

The last claim EGG/DLC/Aplins did was through Aplin, which was stayed, back in Jan 2008 after I had filed my defence. Never heard back from them... Never received the CCA or reply to my CPR request.

 

The new claim is from Morgan Solicitors on behalf of Calbot Financial Ltd.

 

The New POC's is as follows:

 

The Claimant is the Assignee of a debt(s) from Egg Banking PLC

Credit Card Reference xxxxxxxxxx

Notice of Assignment having been given to the Defendant in writing. Despite demand for payment, £xxxx remains due.

The Claimant claims £xxxx and interests under s.69 County Courts Act 1984 and costs.

Any advise would be appreciated as to how we should move forward with this.

Hi Pt

 

Thanks for replying.

 

I tried logging onto the MCOL site with the old details for the first claim and the passwords are invalid.

 

I will ring the court and find out about the old case as from the last court letter regarding the first claim, the defendant had 28 days to respond to my defence but they never did, and that was 3 years ago.

 

Is this situation common?

 

Regards,

Hi all

 

I rang the court up today regarding the old claim, and they informed me that the case has been stayed since 2008 and that Aplins/Egg had 28 days to reply to my defence but to date they never did hear back from them. For Aplins/Egg to lift the stay they would have to write to the judge and explain why they took so long getting back to them, 3 years on!

 

I explained to them that I have now received another claim for the same debt from Cabot Financial, to which the lady at the court was surprised. She explained that usually if a claim is going through court the debt cannot be assigned to another debt company until a judgement has been made.

 

Her advise was to put my defence in again, which I intend to do any way.

 

Any advice would be highly appreciated as now there is 2 claims for the same debt, same court, but different debt companies and solicitors.

 

Regards,

Hi Pt

 

Thanks for replying.

 

You mentioned for the case to be struck out with regards to 'Buckland v Palmer [1984] 1 WLR 1109', but I have been searching for this case and seem find nothing.

 

Should I just file my AOS and the same defence as with the first case and also bring to the attention the fact that this is a 2nd claim for the same debt with a different company, mention the old claim number etc. Any links etc for the Buckland v Palmer [1984] 1 WLR 1109 case would be highly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi all

 

I did the AOS and I need to file my defence in the next day or so, the last time Egglink3.gif did their first Claim against me for the same debt, Pt2537 revised a Defence for me, please see post #19 after which we heard nothing back for 3 years.

 

For this new claim I sent my CPR request and have heard nothing back, just the basic POClink3.gif's on the claim form is all I have.

 

Would I be correct to send the same Defence with the inclusion of the fact that I previously requested my CCA and did a CPR request for the last claim which still remains open.

 

Any advise would highly appreciated.

 

Many thanks.

My date of service was 25th Feb, the AOS has been done, I'm sure my defence needs to be in tomorrow, 30th March! Do the weekends get counted in to make the 28 days for the defence to be filed?

 

Am I correct to go head and do the above with the additional info? Any advice with this defence would be highly appreciated as I am panicking, especially that my thread was down yesterday.

 

Thanks,

Hi all

 

Just an update on this claim, I never received nothing regarding my CPR request, both parties did their AQs, and now I have just received a Court sealed, 'Notice of Discontinuance' for the Claim! The Claimant (EGG?Morgan Solicitors) have discontinued all of the claim!

 

Happy days!!! :-D
