    • 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.              
    • 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.

You can produce the agreement in court to catch them out for fraud – remember the time when you were reviewing your paper work and unfortunately you spilled a cup of coffee (unfortunately) over the prescribed terms on your copy – which of course renders the agreement illegible (well the important bits any way) and unenforceable.

 

or the dog got hold of it and found the Prescribed terms extremly edible rendering it illegible:p

spilling coffee is a crime now? DAMN I thoughngt this govt were over legislating but it really is getting ridiculous

hi, sorry i know i jumped the bandwagon pretty late, but is it true that most if not all credit card agreements taken out before April 2007 are pretty much not enforceable?

 

The C/C companies started to get their act together from around 2004 so its a bit of a lottery. The closer you get to 2007 I would say, the higher the chances that they're enforceable.

 

Having said that, looking at one yesterday from early 2007 that would struggle in court.

interesting, most of my finance was taken out between 1995-2003..hmm i wonder

 

....and well you may.

 

Out of seven agreements I had dating from 1997 - 2001, (six credit cards, one fixed term), only the fixed term really stands a chance in court.

 

Even the fixed term has some issues but as these could well come down to the judge on the day and the ammount small, I've let it ride. The rest, totalling around £42k, got told to shove it.

 

Have a good 2009:D:D:D

I read about it on the Card Wipe out company website.

I've not posted the link as I know that's frowned upon by CAG, but I did pick up on the one big point they are not so quick to mention.

 

Taken from the FAQ's at the site mentioned:

How much does your service cost?

£365 for your first case and £155 for each additional case.

 

OUCH! Thank you and goodbye to Capital Debt Solutions if they want to rip off a massive fee, when you can do it yourself a heck of a lot cheaper with the help of CAG.

 

All they've done is to qualify the cut off point, with CCA's before April 07 being most likely to fail being enforceable. There will be exceptions, some have been shown to be valid from before that time, some that were completed afterwards are not valid.

 

However, the methods and laws these companies use are the same as CAG have supplied, free, for some time. All they've done is re-write the letters they use...

 

As with debt management, do not use a company who charge a fee, they're just lining their own pockets on the grounds that most people do not understand the law or methods required.

Not looked at the site but I assume it's similar to others in that the fee is payable upfront.

excellent chaps thanks for the input, i'm still wondering and pondering about my own debts. just to clarify, i was never interested in these kind of services..but just the unenforceable period...according to them. i found out about em (wipe out) as i skimmed the Credit online forum...they were moaning about em.;)

oh well.. it's a load of cow bab anyway...:)

For the record, Jaws.... I turned my back on several debts in a "previous life" and they never caught up with me. I had several postcards through the door, but they were ignored and that was that. They would be statute-barred by now anyway... I also know there was at least one CCJ from a previous address, but I've heard nothing in approx. 15 years and it's in no way connected to where I am now.

 

I know that makes me look incredibly irresponsible, but I had very good reason for doing it at the time.

 

Hope that helps...

 

:)

 

Hi PO,

it's been a while! Hope ya peeps still hanging around. An update, well i've done nothing about it. Funny thing is i just don't get stressed about it, i get some calls but never anything serious....pretty boring actually.

 

Still homeless, so i can't even get mail. No bank account. I feel like a bankrupt as i have been living like one since i turned my back on the debts 3 plus years ago. Well, what now? It would be great to send some cca's etc to find out wats going on, or do a credit check...but at no fixed abode..i can't.

 

I'm i still better off sitting it out or just going bankrupt? Ironically i've never needed to borrow money now i don't pay my bills..so i not bothered about credit..been self dependant for 3 years without it. i've learn't well.Also i if i ever needed to buy a house...doubt it, but my family will help with that.

 

Still it would be nice to see the mess i'm in via credit check wthout being tipped off by em. I don't want to use a friend or relatives address..forgot bout it. But i wonder if there's another way...PO box? or squatter house. :D

 

About me

 

1.Haven't acknowledged anything since being made homeless.(no fixed abode)

 

2.Don't claim benefits.

 

3.Owe £35 000 Unsecured debts (probably grown since a few years)

 

4. I just prowl around here in the hope that one day when i do come out of the woods i will have a good go at claiming some money back or cca'ing everyone with the ammo you wonderful ppl have supplied.

 

5. Unless i have already been made Bankrupt.:grin:

 

it would be great to hear from ppl in my situation.....plsss

Hi PO! that's right no benefits for 3 years and no bank account.

Well, without too much info i kind of street entertain..via music. I just look out for myself...never asked for anything from the gov, so i feel entitled to my own money...if you don't mind me saying so.

 

p.s not to forgot my friends are pretty helpful.

Lets not forgot the benefits peeps kept on delaying, stopping, delaying my payments...i simply had enough. Now i scrape by on my own..just..

 

It'll be a bit of a trawl but you can check whether you've been made bankrupt in the Bankruptcy Orders

 

Thanks!

Yes that is a trawl...haha, did it a few months ago...never saw anything..i'll try again tomorrow..thing is my last landlord (a old friend) would have notified me or parents if i got bankrupt..apparently my dad just sends the mail back. who knows.

 

its great to deal in cash too...interestingly i always feel better off then the ppl using cards to pay in supermarkets...also the 'Cash only' self service till is nearly always free..while everyone else has to join the mile long queue to use their credit cards..makes me feel elite.:)

Hi Jaws,

I've read thru your posts & its nice to see you back again.

 

How are you doing now? You must be clear off all the debt you left behind by now, so you can start again with a clean slate. (been there done it myself)

 

Anyways hope that life's treating you well & wishing you good luck for the future.

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every single minute of it!!

Thanks Rainbow & Brigadier!

 

Well i suppose i'm wondering is there anything left to do? I've been in the wilderness since 2006 sept.... still no fixed abode. never claimed benefits...i couldn't care less. though i should have been entitled. These people contributed to this dilemma in the first place. So i will never ever sign up again.

 

So what now i was wondering? What happens when i pull my head out of the sand? Need to show my mug sometime.

 

Many Thanks. Jaws

 

p.s one thing i have learnt is you don't need credit.. but then i dont have a house or car...or kids...even so...you can always save up.

You can always claim to be Lord Lucan and you will then receive some free accommodation at her Majesties pleasure.

 

These debts are only really a problem if they are enforceable and you have means of being able to offer payment. If you have need of social housing or benefits at any stage, then for these civil debts, if they are enforced in court, I doubt they would get very much more than a token amount, as you have to be able to meet your basic living needs, before any debt repayments.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Jaws,

 

I think it's time you got a basic bank account so you can start to rebuild your life.

 

The Cooperative bank do a basic bank account ( cashcard ) which does no credit checks.

 

It's called a Cashminder but you'll need an address and some sort of proof of where you are living. You'll need to go into the branch ( as long as none of your old debts are associated with them ).

 

This card lets you do direct debits and pay online...etc.. But is no frills..

 

You don't get an overdraft either and you mustn't go into the red.

 

I think this should be your first logical step to start getting back on track.

 

Sounds like all your debts are statute barred anyway.

 

I hope that helps.

 

Regards,

Stormski

 

PS: DCA's and banks have a lot to answer for.

**A very Quick update**

Thank you for the most wonderful help in those crazy dark days with a black sense of humor!

Somehow just somehow I came out of the shi*Storm nice and clean! I never filled a form, just rode the storm.

I've restarted my new life since 2014, no bother from anyone plus i have a clean 'Proper' bank account with the black horse- I rebuilt my credit with "aquacard" sensibly from what i learned on this website. All of a sudden I have excellent credit rating - it took 2 years. It seems the demons have gone......ahhhh life couldn't be better! Love you all x
