    • 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.

Hi All,

Not really sure if I can do anything about this, though I have tried!

 

Long story short, I stupidly bought a car from CC 12months ago. Saw it online, fell in love with it bla bla! Anyhow, rang up next day - told it wasn't for sale. Rang later on that day to check and, what a suprise, it was for sale! Told them I was interested in it and arranged to view.

 

After waiting around for around 5+ hours with 3 bored children, a fed up hubby and agreeing to part with my beloved mondeo (which had been mot'd 2 mths previous). We were all herded to a room to fill the forms in. I was told the amount was £128mth. That was the car finance, insurance, warranty etc. GREAT I thought, I can afford it fine :) Reluctantly I parted with my mondeo which was taken in exchange and we all trundled off home.

 

Imagine my first shock when I received the forms from the finance company stating it would be £188mth!! I duly rang them + said I couldn't afford it and that I was told by CC it was £128!! They removed the insurance and I'm now paying £158mth!!

 

My second shock came when I got the MOT done 6mths later. Not only did I need a new exhaust, but also needed a new clutch! I rang CC up and told them that they had knowingly sold me a vehicle with a defect. Of course, they said go to the insurers but they were not liable because of their so called 125 pt check bla bla!! I rang NAC, guess what, not covered, wear + tear!!!

 

How did I know they had knowingly sold a defective vehicle? Well, when I got the original documents at pos (MOT cert, V5) the MOT said an advice note had been issued BUT.... you guessed it, I NEVER GOT THE ADVICE NOTE!!! I checked online and, Lo + behold, the exhaust had been mentioned!!!

 

Ok, so here's my question...... Can I do anything whatsoever about this? Like I say, I rang + rang but got nowhere with CC (Merseyside) and nowhere with NAC. Surely they are in the wrong for selling a car with a defective part!! BTW it cost me a grand to get fixed!! Its a Landrover:roll:

 

Can I also claim back the money I've paid so far for the warranty?

 

Many thanks for reading (sorry it was so long!) Really appreciate any help or advice offered,

 

Jen :)

I can't see how the agreement you signed at the sales office should be different from the copy sent to you by the finance company. Were you given a copy at the showroom to take home with you?

 

The clutch and exhaust are indeed wear and tear, but the mention on the non appearing advisory of the exhaust, although not illegal to sell as it was an MoT pass, was obviously hidden by them not giving you the advisory, and can only increases your case for reimbursement.

 

Don't do any telephoning, only correspond in writing.

 

What was the exact date of you getting the MoT and your purchase? If that was inside 6 months, and you talked to them immediately then you can write, enclosing a bill, (copies of the garage bill), and say they either pay the bill or you reject the car and have your money back plus what you paid out on the clutch, (they are not entitled to betterment).

 

I would leave it at that for the first letter and make sure you send it at least recorded or special delivery.

 

See what their response is (although we prob know what it will be), and then we can take it from there with the next letter being a letter before action.

Hi Connif

 

Thanks for reply :)

I bought the car on 1st January 2008 I rang them prior to getting the MOT done + the work as I had gone online to check about the advice note. I had the car checked in May/June as the MOT was coming up - I will update the exact date later today :)

I was given forms when I left showroom, no-where did the final balance mention £188 per month

 

Thanks for helping, I will get the letter written asap and post up before sending,

 

Best regards,

 

Jen :)

Hi again,

 

Ok just went thru my paperwork and this is what I found regarding the MOT + my complaint about the exhaust:-

 

* MOT was carried out August 19th 2008

 

* I rang (CC) them on 8th July 2008 informing them of my findings regarding the exhaust + was told to ring NAC as they could/would not do anything

 

* Rang NAC on 9th July 2008 + told not covered + to take things up with CC

 

* Rang CC again on 9th July 2008 + again told nothing they would or could do. Told them I was seeking advice and lady said she would note this down upon my file

 

 

Right, looking at the main paperwork relating to the agreement this is what I found:-

 

* PROVISIONAL ORDER FORM - This shows in BOLD the amount per mth as being £128 / 129

 

Thers a confusing bit which I dont get how they got the figures, simply put in cash loan (price of car I assume!) It states £4589.00 yet further down it states in cash price inc VAT for new Goods £4689.00!!! The car was secondhand!!!!! And those figures are BEFORE interest AND insurance ANd the warranty!!!! Well + truly stiched me up by the looks of things!

 

Absolutely nowhere does it mention a price of £188 per month, which is what a letter I received from GE Money stated the amount per month was.

 

Like I say, I cancelled the insurance but I still have the warranty attached. I'm confused because the document has 2 different boxes which has Insurance/Warranty/Loan above it!! One says including IPT - what on earth is IPT??? Strangely, this one is for £995.00 but other one is for £748.03!!!

 

I will try scan this up tomorrow so if anyone can help that would be really really appreciated, I'm sooooooooo confused, not a clue now as to how much I will actually end up paying out.....

 

Grateful thanks to all as ever,

 

Jen :)

thats insurance premium tax

that is payable on all insurance policies paid

if the insurance is cancelled that should have been refunded

HOW MUCH DID THESE INSURANCIES COST

 

its normally 10% of the premium payable by the insurance company, not you

Hi there,

 

Thanks for reply :)

 

The finance was done through GE Money

 

Heres the figures, pls bare with me :)

 

KEY FINANCIAL INFO BOX

 

(Cash Loan: £4589.00) (Insurance/Warranty/Loan: £995.00) Total= £5584.00)

 

Mthly Pmts of Cash Loan = £129.89

Mthly Pmts of Ins/W/Loan = £28.16

Final Pmt(consist of option

fee + Admin Fee =£299.00 (total, i not told about this!)

APR = 26.8% on all except Final Pmt.

 

Below that there is another box, here's those figures:

 

Cash Price For Goods inc VAT for new Goods = £4689.00

Cash Price For Insurance/Warranty/Loan = £995.00 inc IPT

 

Below is yet another box!! The figures are as follows:

 

Total Charge For Credit on Cash Loan = £3449.97, Interest = £3204.25

Total Charge For Credit on Ins/Warr/Loan = £748.03, Interest = £694.75

Thereby giving a....

Total Charge Credit = Grand Tot of £4198.00

Total Charge Interest = Grand Tot of £3899.00

Many many thanks for your help and advice regarding this,

Oh also, just checked the initial letter from GE Money in relation to paying back on the car finance, they state....

 

As specified on your agreement, your first payment of £186.50 includes a £0 Acceptance Fee - a contribution towards the arrangement costs of setting up your account - and is due on 2nd February 2008.

 

Nowhere that I can see upon the paperwork in the link is there any ref to this payment!! Needless to say, I rang up as soon as I received that and got it to £158 per mth.

hi loopylou

 

ive spotted a few things that i am having checked out so its not gospel , but looking good

 

the big con with these agreements is acceptance fee included in the total ammount of credit. that is you are paying interest on some thing not conected to the vehicle.

yours is addmin fee

 

the other insurancies also cannot be included in the total ammount of credit also

double checking that on but sure its correct

 

last thing

 

the insurancies must be on a seperate part of the agreement.

in other words

 

you sign and date for the car finance,

then in another section, sign and date again for the insurancies, which must be kept seperate

 

ill look up to confirm as well as getting more comments from our more experienced caggers

 

looking good

 

glad you have sussed photo bucket

Hi,

 

No initially I was lead to believe that the total amount was £128/£129 per mth

When I received letter from GE Money, that was when they said first payment was £186.50

I rang GE money and the amount per mth was reduced to £158 per mth

No mention anywhere about it being £186.50 on any other paperwork I signed at all!!!

 

Jen :)
