    • 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.

I got into debt and about 4 years ago I contacted CCCS who were fantastic and arranged for me to pay them £140 per month to keep the hounds from the door. I have done this religiously and never missed. I have had my wages slashed by a 1/3rd in my new job. CCCS now say that I cannot afford to pay anything (the least they accept is £45 per month) and are ready to drop me. I am worried to death about the harrassment and fear of dealing with this by myself. ALTHOUGH I have often wondered what all my debt consists of and how much of it is interest and charges for missed payments etc. All of the debt is unsecured. Should I go it alone and if so where do i begin. I successfully claimed back bank charges and PPI with the fabulous advice from this site. I do not want to run from the debt. I want to pay as little as possible so that I can live at the same time. Is there a chance i will lose my home through these debts? We have a joint mortgage but the debts are all in my name as it was solely my debt. Can I claim back charges etc to reduce the debts?? Please help as I feel am stuck between a pillar and a hard post!

Hi, thanks so much for the reply, some are with a debt collection agency.

AMERICAN EXPRESS £2200

BARCLAYCARD £2600 (one of these was previously a morgan stanley credit card, not sure why it changed to barclaycard)

BARCLAYCARD £3300

CAPITAL ONE BANK £870

CL FINANCE £410

FREDRICKSON INTERNATIONAL (DCA) £460

LLOYDS TSB CARDSERVICES £975

MOORCROFT DEBT RECOVERY (DCA) £12.500 ( All the interest was added to the amount I borrowed on this the minute I got the loan so I only borrowed about 8k which they advised me to do in order to clear my credit card, it was with EGG.)

MOORCROFT DEBT RECOVERY (DCA) almost finished this one. £30

 

Can you advise me?

There are options that you can decide on, do you want to send for CCA requests to your creditors to find out if they have any legal right to claim payments from you ? or do you want to offer them affordable payments ?, if you take a look at the templates page on the link below you will get an idea as to what you want to do in order to move forward, the CCA letter template is letter N, and there are letters for other options, take a look then post back on here for further advice.

Thanks, I think it might be best to see firstly if they have a legal right to claim payments via CCA? After all I am sure they would pick up every loophole in the system so why shouldnt I?? Then if they do....ask them to show me everything they have, would that be the subject access?

Thank you , I am thinking....CCA to see if I legally owe them the money, if so...subject access...to see what the debt consists of..... would I then be able to ask them to remove the charges and the interest on the account before I made them an affordable offer of payment?

should I put in a hold the account letter along with a cca or send them seperately at different times?

Just send the CCA request, i have never heard of a hold the account letter, sometimes the creditor puts the account on hold in response to the CCA request whilst they try to find the CCA.

Keep us posted jojo, and as Ida said take it one step at a time, print your name at the bottom of the letter, dont sign your name, include an uncrossed £1.00 postal order and send it 1st class recorded delivery and keep the receipt safe.:)

I have recieved a response from Moorcroft, please can anyone advise my next move. I am getting a little scared! Thanks Guys, the main body or the letter minus my details of course is as follows.................

“We refer to your recently received letter requesting data as per Section 77-79 Consumer Credit Act 1974.

We duly confirm that we have requested the relevant documentation from our client and once received we will duly forward the same to you. Meanwhile, we duly confirm that all collection activity on the account has been put on hold and we will not seek to enforce payment of this debt until such time as the documentation has been supplied or we have advised you to the contrary.

In the meantime, however, we believe that it may be of assistance to all parties if we also take this opportunity to ensure any potential areas of dispute are addressed prior to any possible court action or further investigation. To this end can you provide an indication of the information you will be relying upon, when giving evidence to the court or information to the relevant statutory authorities in relation to the alleged subject matter of this account.

Please could you provide this information by return as this will ensure that all possible areas of dispute are identified as quickly as possible thereby minimizing potential costs and delays.”

I have now received a letter from Barclaycard wich looks like a photocopy of terms and conditions (No Signatures anywhere) and at the end they say they have now fullfilled my request. Is this so?

Jo x

No signed copy of CCA = Unenforcable, they are trying to bluff you , send them the account in dispute letter, print your name, do not sign.

Sending today, this is the correct one isnt it???

 

Dear Sirs,

 

Account Number: XXX

 

Re; your recent reply to my request under section 77-79 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974

 

I note that you have replied to the above by sending a copy of an application form and your companies current Terms and conditions I must inform you that this is not sufficient to comply with the request and that your company is still in default under the act.

 

To clarify, just sending the Terms and Conditions is a breach of the Act and Regulations as, apart from the information that the Regulations provide that you may exclude, the copy must be a “true copy” of the agreement.

 

This breach of the agreement can be demonstrated as follows;

As you will know section 180(1) (b) authorises, “the omission from a copy of certain material from the original, or the inclusion of certain material in condensed form.” This refers to statutory instruments made under the heading Copies of document regulations and in this care in particular to SI 1983/1557.

 

Before leaving section 180 there are two other sections that should be remembered these are:

 

Section 2(2) (a) A duty imposed by any provision of this Act (except section 35) to supply a copy of any document is not satisfied unless the copy supplied is in the prescribed form and conforms to the prescribed requirements;

 

And more importantly

 

Section 2(b) A duty imposed by any provision of this Act (except section 35) to supply a copy of any document is not infringed by the omission of any material, or its inclusion in condensed form, if that is authorised by regulations.

 

You will see that this quite clearly states that whilst certain items may be left out of the copy document the rest of the document must be in the form and contain all items as prescribed by the regulations.

 

Turning to the regulations regarding what may be omitted from these copies these are contained with SI 1983/1557.

 

The regulations state:

(2) There may be omitted from any such copy-

(a) any information included in an executed agreement, security instrument or other document relating to the debtor, hirer or surety or included for the use of the creditor or owner only which is not required to be included therein by the Act or any Regulations thereunder as to the form and content of the document of which it is a copy;

(b) any signature box, signature or date of signature (other than, in the case of a copy of a cancelable executed agreement delivered to the debtor under section 63(1) of the Act, the date of signature by the debtor of an agreement to which section 68(b) of the Act applies);

 

It is quite clear what can be omitted from the copy document, this again asserts that all other details of the agreement should presented in form and content as required by the regulations.

 

The requirements of the Agreement regulations 1983/1553 are very explicit in describing the form and content of an agreement and this as I have demonstrated also applies to the copy of any such agreement with the above mentioned proviso.

 

Nowhere within these regulations does it state that part of the agreement can be presented on a separate document headed terms and conditions.

It does state that all terms and conditions should be within the agreement document and is explicit of the form in which it is presented.

 

I hope this explains why your reply was unacceptable I await a True copy of my agreement and would remind you again that whilst the request has not been complied with the default continues

received this from cap one.....

 

please find enclosed a copy of your credit agreement as requested. In accordance with section 78 of the consumer credit act 1974 and the consumer credit (cancellation notices and copy documents) regulations 1983, this is your original agreement and if any terms have been varied then the copy agreement will include the updated terms. In addition, your personal details, the signature box, signature and date of signature have been omitted from the copy provided as permitted under regulation 3 of the consumer credit (cancellation and copy documents) Regulations 1983.

Your account is in default and the amount currently due and payable is .....

Under section 78 we are not required to provide a copy of the default notice and statement of default. However we can confirm that a statement of default was issued on .... June 2009.

 

They sent me t and c's and a credit agreement, no signature! Pleeeeease can someone advise me what to do next? Is this usual? Do they have to provide me with my signature???

 

Getting scared again! Gulp! xx

  • 3 weeks later...

Quick update, got typical answers from barclays, ts and cs but no signatures etc (intend to fight them) got a signed egg agreement from moorcroft (I am making an offer of monthly payments altho a very small one due to my circumstances) Lloyds have completely ignored the cca requests and are just demanding payments (is this account in dispute?) shop direct have admitted they dont have a copy of an agreement so (I will offer a very small monthly payment) and cl finance havent even responded either (account in dispute).

 

Can anyone clear up the charging order on your house threat? I do have a mortgage in joint names (not married so different names anyhow). As the debt with moorcroft is 12k and I am gonna offer a £10 monthly payment, I feel they may make this threat. Can they do it even if the mortgage is NOT in JUST my name only? Does it have to go to court first? My partner doesnt even know about this debt and if they put a charging order on our home, I fear I will lose more than just my house. Please advise???? Thanks everyone. x
