    • 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.

Are there any templates I can use for my response.

 

Thanks

HI Babybear

 

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately noone else has replied and the date by which I need to reply is fast approaching.

 

I know the agreement/application form does not contain the prescibed terms etc. I just need to know what defence do I enter on the claim form and do I 'deny the debt', 'accept the debt' or 'partially accept'.

 

Thanks

4. How much is it for - round it up to the nearest £100

Hi

 

Thanks CitizenB and Babybear39 & I've got no money.

 

The debt is over £15k and the POC is typed at the bottom of this message.

 

The claim form was issued on the 1st of May and I have today filed an AoS defendsing the total claim. I have also made a CPR 31.14 request using a template i have found on this site asking for a copy of the agreement and default notice. They did already forward me the 'agreement' which they called an application form, when I did a CCA a few months ago. But the 'application form/ agreement' does not contain the prescribed terms.

 

I'm not sure whether account charges are included in the claim.

 

I'm not sure whether I have had a defualt notice as when I firast got into trouble I had 10 of these guys on my back.

 

"By an agreement in writing & regulated by the Consumer Credit Act 1974, the Claimants issued to the Defendant a credit-token, Lloyds Asset Card, for the purpose of the Defendant acquiring goods/services on credit.

2. Clause 7 of the agreement provided that the Claimants would furnish the Defendant with a monthly statement showing the balance currently due, the minimum payment to be made & the date for payment. If the balance was not paid, then provided the Defendant made the minimum payment on or before such date, the remainder of the balance should remain outstanding & the Defendant should pay interest upon it per month in accordance with clauses 8 & 9 of the agreement.

3. In breach of the agreement, the Defendant failed to make payment & on XX/XX/07 the Claimants issued a Default Notice pursuant to section 87(i) of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

4. On XX/XX/07 the Claimants did issue a Formal Demand to the Defendant.

5. THE CLAIMANTS THEREFORE CLAIM THE BALANCE DUE UNDER THE AGREEMENT:£XXXXX.XX

 

 

Thanks

My immediate reaction is that its' going to be unenforceable - if there are any accont charges then the D/N is going to be questionable.

 

Have you got any documents - such as the D/N - did you actually receive it - or any statements

 

At this stage I think that we see if they reply to the CPR 31.14 and what that turns up. If you've not had a response in around 10 days then we can help with a holding defence

They have put on the POC that you have breached clause 7, 8 and 9 of the agreement.

 

This has proved fatal in some instances where the clause they say you have breached doesnt correspond with the actual terms. So that could be something worth checking (if you have the paperwork to check):)

Hi Everyone

 

Thanks for your help.

 

I'm still awaiting a reply to my CPR request.

 

Also I have checked clause 7. And it is nothing to do with terms and conditions but details how you can balance transfer. Also there is no cluase 8 and 9 which are also mentioned in the POC.

 

Regards

Hi 42Man

 

Thanks for that.

 

I still havent received any paperwork from their soliciotors as per my CPR request.

 

Can I simply ask the court to throw this out as the plaintiffs have not provided any paperwork?

 

Or should I put in a long winded defence like the one that you have referred me to . I havent received anything form my CPR request however I did receive a copy of my applciation form a few months ago which is flawed and doesnt contain the prescribed terms etc. etc.

 

Ideally I would like to have this thrown out or delayed so that I have more time to digest other threads and prepare a good defence.

 

I have to send something in by tomorrow so any advice would be appreciated.

 

 

Thanks

As the 1st is tomorrow at this stage you need to file a defence.

 

I'd also suggest that, if you haven't done so yet that you do a chasing letter to the other side - give them 7 days to respond in full to your CPR request - tell them that if they don't that you'll apply to the court for an Order.

 

If you have already done a chasing letter - make an application on an N244 for an Order that they comply

Thanks for that.

 

Can my defence simply be "Plaintiff has failed to respond to a CPR request" or do I need to be more elaborate?

 

Thanks

 

IW

 

Unfortunately it needs to be a bit more elaborate a failure to respond to a CPR Request isn't a defence per se - it is a reason to put in a defence which explains why the defence is very limited

Hi

 

Ok, thanks for that.

 

I have come across this, would this be suitable to buy some more time?

 

 

1. The Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof that an agreement was entered into between the Defendant and Lloyds TSB

 

2.The Defendant is embarrassed and is in difficulty at pleading as matters stand

 

3 On the 9th May 2009 and pursuant to CPR 31.14 the Defendant made a request for copies of documents that the Claimant had pleaded. The Claimant as of June 1st 2009 has failed to comply. The Defendant contends that it is unreasonable to refuse such a request.

 

4 Accordingly the Defendant cannot plead any further without production of the documents which form the basis of the Claimants case

 

5.The Defendant puts the Claimant to strict proof of assignment of any debt owed by the Defendant to the Claimant.

 

6. In any event, the Defendant denies that the Claimant has shown a cause of action and the Defendant denies that he is indebted to the Claimant at all

 

Thanks

I'm obviously missing something here.

 

What was the wording of your CPR request?

 

Can you post a edited version of the CCA up?

 

Have you received a Default Notice?

 

Do you still have your cards?

 

Are you making any payments? Basically, why has this ended up in a Court claim?

Hi

 

1) I have put an edited version of my request below.

 

2) I cant remember if I ever received a default notice as when I got into trouble I had ten different banks harassing me.

 

3) No, I do not have the cards anymore.

 

4) I had agreed low monthly payments but then paid a credit clear company to help. To cut a long story short the credit clear company asked me to stop making payments (big mistake) while it investgated the agreement BUT the credit clear company failed to handle the case properly. It is now with a more reputable company but in the meantime court action has started.

 

5) I asked for a copy of the agreement a few months ago and recieved an application form with no prescribed terms.

 

Any advice appreciated as I need to file tomorrow

 

Thanks

Re: Lloyds TSB Bank PLC v

CPR 31.14 Request

 

On the xxxx I received the Claim Form in this case issued by you out of the Northampton County Court.

 

I confirm having returned my acknowledgement of service to the court in which I indicate my intention to contest all of your claim.

 

Prior to the issue of proceedings I had delivered a request for the production of the agreement mentioned in the Claim Form and on which you rely. No such agreement has been received. However an application form purported to be the agreement was received and is currently being audited by specialist solicitors.

Please treat this letter as my request made under CPR 31.14 for the disclosure and the production of a verified and legible copy of each of the following documents mentioned in your Particulars of Claim:

 

1) The agreement compliant with the CCA 1974. You will appreciate that in an ordinary case and by reason of the provisions of CPR PD 16 para 7.3, where a claim is based upon a written agreement, a copy of the contract or documents constituting the agreement should be attached to or served with the particulars of claim and the original(s) should be available at the hearing. Further, that any general conditions incorporated in the contract should also be attached.

 

2) The default notice

 

You should ensure compliance with your CPR 31 duties and ensure that the document(s) I have requested are copied to and received by me within 7 days of receiving this letter. Your CPR 31 duties extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for the originals of the documents I have requested, the better for you to be able to verify the document's authenticity and to provide me with a legible copy. Further, where I have requested a copy of a document, the original of which is now in the possession of another person, you will have a right to possession of that document if you have mentioned it in your case. You must take immediate steps to recover and preserve it for the purpose of this case.

 

Where I have mentioned a document and there is in your possession more than one version of that same document owing to a modification, obliteration or other marking or feature, each version will be a separate document and you must provide a copy of each version of it to me. Your obligations extend to making a reasonable and proportionate search for any version(s) to include an obligation to recover and preserve such version(s) which are now in the possession of a third party.

 

In accordance with CPR 31.15© I undertake to be responsible for your reasonable copying costs incurred in complying with this CPR 31.14 request.

 

If you require more time in which to comply with this request you must tell me in writing. You must tell me before the time for compliance with this request has expired. In telling me you require more time you must tell me what steps you have taken and propose to take in order to comply with this request and also state a date by when you will comply with this request. In addition your statement must be accompanied with a statement that you agree to an extension of the time for me to file my defence. Your extension of time must be not less than 14 days from the date when you say you will have complied with my request and you must state the new date for filing my defence.

 

If you are unable to comply with this request and believe that you will never be able to comply with this request you must tell me in writing.

 

Please note that if you should fail to comply with this request, fail to request more time or fail to agree to an extension of time for the filing of my defence, I will make an application to the court for an order that the proceedings be struck out or stayed for non-compliance and a summary costs order.

 

I do hope this will not be necessary and look forward to hearing from you."
