    • 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...
    • I would say You should accept it - I HIGHLY doubt you will  be able to claim for letters at trial ans they’re offering you that, which is higher monetary value than interest.   Also they raise a good point, getting interest at anything above 4% is lucky these days, yes judges give it, but rarily above 4%   Also you might find depending on the judge  you don’t get some costs if you take it all the way over £7.40 when court woukdnt award letters costs and thus meaning their award would be less than evris offer which was made    Up to you though but the wait will be 3-4mo for a trial date at least
    • Hi Folks, Been 162 days! Just by way of update. Today I received a text from Opos Ltd so no doubt Capquest are renting the debt out to anybody who fancies a nibble. Safe to say I will not be responding.

    • 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.

If they are asking for an upfront fee then my advice is to tell anyone contacting you to VISIT A TAXIDERMIST ON THEIR OWN BEHALF!

Well they say they have a buyer for me, this is what they say:-

 

A usual sale will normally complete within 4 - 6 weeks

 

* The 1,300 euros security deposit is fully refundable on completion of sale.

* To confirm we do not take any security codes or pin numbers to secure the deposit.

Hi bigkenny & tonge7groove,

 

I'm new to this site too as I was also contacted by this 'Global Reservations Services' company just the other day. It was to do with my time share in Spain which I'm happy with, so there was no need for me to get involved with them but before I parted with the lady on the phone I asked for their phone number and that I would call them back, just me playing safe. ;)

I was given a free phone number to call, which I did. Well when my phone bill comes in I'll soon know if it was free or not. It does state it been a free phone number on their site too thou.

Me been curious searched their name on google and came across the thread started by bigkenny. Hence, I joined up with this forum and I did a bit more digging around and here is the link to their (Global Reservations Services) company. Which is [DELETED] Hope this helps with you're dilemma folks.

Hi mustang67,

 

They never asked me for money as it was a free add they were offering. When I asked how they would get money for offering this service I was told that the buyer would pay their commission. So in other words since you did not get this call from them it's unfair of you to think we are all like you out there. :lol:

 

So 'no' they never asked me for a penny - just asked if I would be interested in selling my weeks. And for the record an address was offered - so back at at ya! ;)

 

Would you send me 1300 Euros if I rang you up? Then just gave you a phone number and no address.

 

Think not, but then again theres one born every minute!!!!!!;)

well that`s where the sting in the tale is after the nice sales patter they ask for some fee to be paid. I forget the full reason why but it sent alarm bells ringing in my head. They ring you back days/weeks later and say they have a buyer for you who will pay the price your asking but to get the money through they need some money of you which will come of the balance. It sounds all very nice and easy all very nice on the ear. You want to believe it as well as they give you a nice cosy felling so your ready to give over your credit card details. That`s when your a dead duck. I just had another cold call today same patter different company (well they said some other name) I say the same thing to them I will not pay one penny up front, if the price is right I will sell. If I do get a good deal the only way I could do it (sell) is that the money must hit my back account first (I would check with my bank) before I handed my title deeds over or signed any paper work. If it does not happen like this I cannot see how I could do a sale.

The safest way to sell your timeshare is through a reputable dealer.Then you do it by the Escrow system.

This is through a third party, generally a member of the legal proffession

(yours!!) . They hold the deeds and the cash from the purchaser.

That individual ensures everything is OK then completes the transaction. Much the same way as the sale and purchase of a house.

Some companys will either take a percentage of the sale value or add their commission to your required sale figure before advertising.

 

As for the cold call scams, these happen all over the world. Remember that no company can predict when your property will sell. In fact if any company does, it is a [problem].:mad:

Legitimate resale agents will offer to market your property, but will not guarantee they already have a buyer with an agreed price.:)

Hi there Newbe,

 

No I have not had dealings with Global. I am just trying to point out the financial dangers that people could face responding to this type of call.

 

There are decent Timeshare resellers out there, but at the moment there are more bad guys.

 

Because of increasing maintenance costs, lots of people are trying to get rid of their Timeshare. This provides an increased market for these [problematic] to take advantage off. Also, beware of newspaper adds offering to buy your Timeshare.They can be a minefield to.

 

So take care.:)

Hi there just wanted to share my story i had a call from a company called planet vacations offering to sell my timeshare they fed my a long story of how they had a buyer and that id have to send a security deposit which was fully refundable! so like a fool i said yes they took the money from my account around a week later i recieved a contract so i signed it and returned it. Then two weeks later i recieved a phone call saying that the BUYER!!!! had withdrawn due to financial reasons and that the deal had fell through!! but they would still advertise my property!!! 12 months later nothing and the refundable deposit was not returned!...DOH how stupid did i feel!!! then i had a call from global reservation services i was really unsure about the whole concept once bitten twice shy! but i just had to get rid of the TIMESHARE TOMBSTONE that was draining my finances every year so i agreed. I was fully expecting to be ripped of but to my suprise i wasn't they were realy helpful and did exactly what they said they would the whole transaction took around 4 weeks i payed my deposit and after the sale was completed it was returned aswell as the money for my timeshare. i just wanted to share my story and prove to the majority that there are actually some decent companies who do what they say. Granted the timeshare industry is riddled with con men but i can't speak highly enough of the staff at global reservation services.:)

 

Thankyou i hope this helps some of you guys out there.

I do not feel that I am being negative all the time. I feel I am being very positive in warning people of the consequences of taking so called Timeshare offers over the phone. This [problem] is as old as the hills

 

Planet Vacations was a [problem] I will agree with you on that, but that one is easily found on other forums, and easily copied as your example shows. Then low and behold Global out of the blue come to your rescue:rolleyes:

Its getting interesting now someone said they have had a sale with Global and it went through with no hitch. The only trouble when I say I`m not paying any money up front even though they say they have a buyer for

my price there don`t bother any more.

 

If Global are so confident why don`t they still proceed with the sale but ask for NO money first, then I would be very interested. I would sign/give my title deeds over in any bank when I know the money is in my account. I would do this face to face with a Global rep, why can they not do this. Or do it in a solicitors office somewhere.

 

If they do it my way, Then they get a sale. After all I can sell my house and its done via a solicitor :confused:
