    • 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.

It is now obvous ghost is a troll in my opinion any way.

 

No matter how much you try to talk to such a person they will hate every thread they read that shows a cagger learning their rignts and fighting back with the quip dirty wont payer. They feel all powerful that we should be so so angry at what they judge is a huge ammount of wont pays as apposed to true cant pays and that these sites are giving advice that is used to bad use for that intent.

 

I suggest that trolly is familiar to us, the text and type for some reason seems familiar, probably a saddo who keeps registering to carry on the fight.

 

So perhaps it is time to not reply to ghosty and ignore, let them go to their own forums an moan away whilst planning their next gala dinners of who is the best dca in the world, yawn. Put it this way ghosty you are not cant pay friendly and well funny enough so are the dcas.

 

Wether ghostey is heavily involved in them or not well who knows, but they certainly all have one trait ar*e kissing the credit industry:lol: for some reason and telling us how we should be angry at others. Sorry but I personally will reserve any anger for misleading and miss selling companies that I can prove did so, they dont like it up em as they say xx

 

RECORD ALL CALLS

 

As we have no need to carry on bending over, could we ignore?:madgrin:

 

Guess what five live is talking about? GHOSTS and that how some ghosts are on diff wavelengths, apt eh?:lol:

I think you need to learn the definition of what a troll is.

 

I am not wholly supporting the credit industry - maybe you shoudl read my posts instead of just reading what you want to read.

 

Its pretty sad that you are all so hostile gjust because I am not totally on your side in hating creditors.

 

I have not said anyone in this thread is wont payer - only that I have come across them in my working life - so get your facts right.

 

And if you don't thin kthere are a significant number of wont payers out there then you are massivley naive.

I did report 'theghost' to the site team when they started re-posting, they are a newer type of troll. This thread has only shown that CAGGERS are willing to take responsibility for their own debt and deal with it in their own way, not leave it to the DCAs etc.

 

In theghost's world people like me who help out on this site and don't expect anything back (other than a few tips of the scales) are not clued up and offer dubious advice and should be 'put down'.

 

I would like to ask theghost how many defences they have written at the 11th hour and had the originial claim thrown out of court, or had the defendant into mediation where the company did not want to discuss their ultra high interest rate, default fees, default daily interest charges of 50% or more and how many of his defences have made the claimant discontinue.

 

I would also like to ask why they are frequenting this forum when clearly its ideaology is against their own moral/ethic code? It is a bit like somebody not into porn going onto porn sites and complaining about the content of the files.

I will add that most people chased by a DCA will try to be moral and mindlessly pay them, even if they cannot afford their ridiculous demands and are pressurised into doing this to the detriment of more important commitments We have lots of people on CAG who have been making regular payments and are still being put under pressure every few months to increase the amount, this is often when they crack and ask for help.

 

The debt sale business is corrupt IMO. Creditors sell debts for pennies in the pound and get the rest written off. The debt buyer then maximises their profit by threats and demands for extra interest. If they cannot get their money they will go for Charging Orders on homes. The court system is a lottery IMO and it is difficult for the 'defendant' to get proper representation. There will always be well off people who can pay for help to avoid commitments they could probably meet but for the majority, they need the help and support of CAG and others.

 

AND don't get me started on Payday loan companies!!

 

Rant Over!

Yes, to add to Coledog's discussion we have seem time and time again DCAs asking for 3 monthly I&E statements and to double the amount people are already paying, as wages only go up annually (and in some cases not even that) and the cost of living rises the greed of the DCAs is what sends people to us.

 

I would also like to ask theghost's opinion of the Credit Reference Agencies part in the economic downfall of this country.. unlicenced, unregulated and able to deem somebody 'bad' for the next 6 years. If we had debt prisons again then the debt crisis would not have happened, the people creating the debt would have been in them long ago! Debt prisons used to contain 'money lenders' as well as their victims.

Is this thread still going, I would have though by now that theghost would have realised that CAG is here to advise people and in no way condones debt avoidance, obviously sites and forums like this are an abomination to the DCA and Credit industry, which is why some posters on here actually try to run these sites down and play up how brave and upstanding the debt collection industry is. Is he/she a troll who knows, and really who cares, we know on here that for everyone we help it is less money being sucked into the dca coffers and that eventually this pathetic industry will either collapse or be forced to clean up its act, it may be years away but the tide is definatley turning for these parasites

An in reply to another poster I have no problem with the CAGs ideology. Helping consumers is to be commended.

 

If the site team have a problem with me they can ban me, but anyone with a bit of common sense can see I havent posted anything that is either outlandish, derorgatory or factually incorrect. Any balanced person can see that.

 

This thread has done nothing to change my views on the original tpoic - I have mainly been flamed by peopel telling me the credit industry is evil - not something new to me I should add.

You seem to be of the impression that

 

a) i dont know a lot of poor practice goes on in the credit industry

b) that i support anything and everything

 

You are incorrect

 

With regards to that particular thing - I have no idea. We will wait and see what OP comes back with.

Er excuse me, the first time I was contacted by phone from one of these firms, and yes it was an inhouse DCA, the first words were pay up or else, I asked what do you mean or else, and he said you will soon see, and that was the start of constant phone calls threats and intimidation, I was not even given a chance to try to arrange anything, did I pay, you must be joking, I fought back, and guess what, they did not have a valid agreement so they have still got nothing, on the other hand if they had even tried to be understanding, they would have got paid, so who is the stupid cretin now, and this pattern was followed by all the other DCA's who come on the scene.

 

As for black marks on my credit report, who really gives a toss, I still managed to get a mortgage and credit

 

PGH7447 - I am willing to bet that I could name the Bank or affiliate, and the DCA concerned from what you have written. I am glad to hear that you still managed to get a mortgage and credit. I have obtained (but not needed) credit WITH A PROPERLY EXECUTED AGREEMENT of which I have a copy, but was turned down by my new bank for a £50 increase in my overdraft.One can only relate one's own experiences.

This discussion - form my point of view - has never been about people who cannot genuinley pay.

 

 

It is critical to remember that the credit market has a lot more people in than just 'can't pays' - I feel some people on here struggle to understand that simple concept.

And you seem to struggle with the simple concept that because there are some "won't pays", that does not give DCAs carte blanche to bully everybody else. I challenge you to find one thread on these forums, or anywhere else, where a DCA has actually listened, and then modified their demands, to actually fit a person's circumstances. They do not, they treat everyone exactly the same, and routinely bully, lie and cheat in order to try and coerce payment irrespective of circumstances. In your world that behaviour is perfectly justified, because of the (small number, IMO) of "won't pays" :mad: :mad: :mad:

Came across someone who was paying Credit Solutions as per arrangement, they could not afford to pay the same amount because their household income had

gone down, they informed Credit Solutions but you've guessed, they weren't interested. They wanted the same amount.
