    • 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,

 

This is my first post & any help is greatly appreciated.

 

After about 7/8 years of being in debt it's time to lift this weight as things seem to be taking a more seriuos turn.

 

I have various debts as a result of trying to keep alive a failing business by funding it with credit cards, bad move ! I now realise that but as we all know credit was easy to get ! I had banks throwing money at me, increasing my limits and there we have it, things quickly escalated and I found myself unable to service all my credit cards / loans.

 

The business failed and I was left with creditors / DCA's chasing me for years.

 

Anyway, I had a debt which was assigned to 1st Credit and have had connaught chasing me. I received a stat demand via 2nd class post at my old address a couple of years ago. I ignored it and nothing ever changed, no brankruptcy petition, they just kept sending demand letters and reduced offers of settlement.

 

This debt is now close to becoming statute barred (maybe 6 -12 months off) and I feel they know this and they seem to have stepped up a gear. I have received a stat demand posted through my door from a process server after a couple of failed attempts of delivery.

 

I do own my house although not much equity exists if any and wonder if because this time they are using a process server they are more serious about following through with a bankruptcy petition.

 

My questions are:

 

1) By setting aside this S/D would I be acknowledging the debt and restarting the 6 yr time period ?

 

2) Should I take a gamble & call their bluff by doing nothing & hope they don't petition & it falls into Statute Barred ?

 

3) Is the S/D deemed as served after the process server posted the S/D through my letterbox when I failed to keep a written appointment with him/her ?

 

4) Can they send me two S/D's for the same debt 2 years after each other or is this a breech and invalidates the s/d?

 

5) The original credit card debt is loaded with excessive fee's, they were applying £75 per month in late, overlimit & returned payment fee's plus of course the PPI. Can I put the debt into dispute because of this ?

 

6) Could it be an un-enforcable credit agreement ?

 

I have so many thoughts running through my head and wonder which is the best action to take.

 

I am not trying to get out of paying nothing but these companies have put me in a bad place & changed me. They have a lot to answer for and I feel I'm lucky to be here, people have done terrible things to themselves for far less than I've been through. My wife quite often expected to come home to something terrible. This torture and what I consider to be unfair charges and practices really make me want to fight them and pay less than they claim because I they've all ramped up my original debt.

 

Thankfully, I'm in a really good place right now and can begin to tackle my debts and get my life back in order.

 

I thank you in advance for any help.

My questions are:

 

1) By setting aside this S/D would I be acknowledging the debt and restarting the 6 yr time period ? NO!! Have you good grounds for a Set Aside

 

2) Should I take a gamble & call their bluff by doing nothing & hope they don't petition & it falls into Statute Barred ? As they have used a Process Server its highly likely that they will follow through

 

3) Is the S/D deemed as served after the process server posted the S/D through my letterbox when I failed to keep a written appointment with him/her ?If the process server makes an affadavit outlining the attempts they have made at personal service then the Courts will accept this as proof of service

 

4) Can they send me two S/D's for the same debt 2 years after each other or is this a breech and invalidates the s/d?Yes as an SD only has a limited shelf life

 

5) The original credit card debt is loaded with excessive fee's, they were applying £75 per month in late, overlimit & returned payment fee's plus of course the PPI. Can I put the debt into dispute because of this ?Yes

 

6) Could it be an un-enforcable credit agreement ?Have you sent off a CCA request

I have so many thoughts running through my head and wonder which is the best action to take.

Thankyou for your reply ODC. I'm happy that I've found this forum and I'm ready to take them on !

 

As of yet I have not CCA'd this debt.

 

Can I do this even though I've received an S/D ?

 

Is my best course of action to set aside by disputing the debt and then send off for CCA ?

Mr Mill you must set this aside, as 1st Credit / Connaught have recently had restrictions placed on them by the OFT - The Office of Fair Trading: OFT imposes requirements on 1st Credit over debt collection practices and please report them to the OFT too....

 

Please have a read through here, you've got 18 days from the date on the demand to set aside....if you need help please shout - DCA Legal Successes - The Consumer Forums

First thing I would do is send off for a copy of the agreement - (this costs £1) and send it recorded delivery/guaranteed to 1st Credit / Connaught - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/581-cca-request-letter - I think a SAR to the original creditor might be a good idea too - http://www.consumerforums.com/resources/templates-library/86-debt-collectors/576-subject-access-request-debt-a-dca

 

You have to use forms 6.4 (set aside) and 6.5 (affadavit) the forms you can find electronically here - http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/86067-getting-statutory-demand-set.html

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/dca-legal-successes/197272-recieved-connaught-statutory-demand-4.html - there are also links to other cases here too....

 

Is there a court named on the demand ? Is it your local court ? You need to call them to check they handle bankruptcies/insolvencies as some courts don't...(let us know if the court they have named don't handle bankruptcies).....

 

Once you have filled out the 6.4 and 6.5 you need to take them along to the court with any accompanying paperwork (such as the CCA request) and get the court to swear in your documents (this is usually free at local courts, or £5 at a local solicitors - I had heard that it was £12 at the High courts in London)......

Another thing you might want to do, especially if you can record the call, is to ring up and ask to speak to the person named on the SD. Doubtless he will not take your call or be permanently unavailable. This is yet another stick to beat them with

Firstly thanks again to ODC, 42man, seminole & angel_1.

 

This has been going on so long I'm kinda past the fearful & worrying stage & just live with it but I'm postitive about getting it all sorted out.

 

I'm going to read all this information try to set aside the demand and also CCA them.

 

I shall also complain about their practices because I believe they used the first S/D 2 years ago as scare tactics & the process server has been knocking on neighbours doors to ascertain if I live at the address which I think could be considered as publicly embarassing for me.

 

Also the s/d was not in an envelope so it wasn't kept confidential, I don't know if they should keep concealed but I just thought it should have been. Other family members could have read the s/d but thankfully I'm not hiding anything and that doesn't matter but to some people it does !

 

Anyway , I'll keep you all posted.

 

Thanks again.

Thanks 42man.

 

Just a thought, am I better off sending a statute barred letter because I have not contacted them or made any payments in what must be close to six years ?

 

Does the fact that they have still been sending demands in this period mean that it is not statute barred ?

 

I thought statute barred was if I hadn't acknowledged the debt in anyway in six years regardless of the DCA's attempts to contact me.

 

Or perhaps, request a CCA and send statute barred letter together stating I'm requesting CCA because I believe this debt is statued barred unless you can prove otherwise,

Thankyou Babybear39.

 

CCA done , now on with set aside stat demand.

 

Unfortunately I doubt it is statute barred but not far off in the grand scheme of things.

 

I wonder if 1st credit will have the statements & files from my cc company in order to prove it's not statute barred.

 

I expect they will have.
