    • Should this to be take into court with him or should he send something in earlier?
    • 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.

    • 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.

Last year i was insured with 1st quote car insurance , my policy ended in September.

I never received a new quote & to be honest i forgot it was due for renewal, i no longer have the car, but on checking my bank statement they took £59 as new monthly cover [ £22 per month last year] out of my account, i contacted them to be told its my responsibility.

 

I really don't understand how they can do this, i never agreed to a roll on but there telling me its in the good old terms & conditions. Not happy but is there anything i can do or have they legally robbed me.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Could you expand on your answer please, 1st quote were adamant that because i had not cancelled in the 14 day period that it is down to me. I genuinely never received a new quote plus no new policy, they say they sent it out. What can my bank do?

 

Many thanks

Phone the FOS for advice. Under FSA rules the Insurers have to issue renewal documents, so you have a chance to review and cancel if you require. When you phoned the company they have appeared to reject your complaint out of hand. They are not allowed to do this as this also breaks FSA rules. It is for this reason that I suggest that you phone the FOS.

 

http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/contact/index.html

 

If the payment was by debit/credit card under a continuous payment authority, your bank won't help you, even if you hadn't received a renewal notice with details of automatic renewal and contiuation. You need to take this up with 1st quote via the FOS.

We could do with some help from you.

Thanks very much for your advice.

Phoned the FOS & they have taken the details & will now forward my complaint to 1st quote, now just have to wait & see what transpires. Not sure how much clout the FOS has but at least they will have to deal with my complaint in a professional manner & not as flippantly as they dealt with me when i phoned.

 

Once again many thanks for your help

Just send it back to them advising that you have asked the FOS to make contact with them. Tell them that you won't be paying anything, until the FOS have dealt with a complaint about several breaches of FSA rules.

We could do with some help from you.

Send the letter by recorded delivery so they can't say they never got it- and keep a copy for yourself in case you need to let the FOS have it.

Insurance policies are allowed to auto-renew, but they must send notification of the renewal to the customer 21 days prior to the new policy being incepted. Most insurance companies aim for 28 days to be safe.

 

Now the thing here is that no insurance company I know of sends this notification by recorded delivery, and if they do not do this then they are not able to prove whether it arrived in time or not. They may have sent the letter, but that's not the legal restriction. You must have received it. Of course it might not be your insurance company's fault - it may simply have got lost in the post. But frankly, that's their problem not yours.

 

 

Be adamant that you did not get the renewal notification. Say that you wish to have the policy voided from inception, as the insurance company broke the law in not giving you notification, and that you want all money taken returned to you (or your bank if your bank has covered the taken amount under the DD guarantee).

 

I am convinced that the FOS will see in your favour - just stick to the main point that your insurance company did not notify you, as that is all that matters here.

agree with Wulfrym, Ins comps will not send renewals recorded due to cost. They also have to send a renewal at least 21 days before the renewal date.

 

When did you get rid of the car? was it before or after the renewal? as this could help your case with the FOS.

Just a quick update on this.

 

1st Joke are sticking to their guns & the 8 week rule has been invoked so now the FSO can become involved, they have sent me a letter & a copy of 1st Joke`s internal inquiry.

I will stick to my truthful guns in that i never received no new quote or renewal policy & hopefully the FSO will find in my favour.

 

Just a quick question ....... IF the FSO do find in my favour have they got the power to order 1st joke to reimburse my monies?.

Not quite right, the adjudicators decision does not have to be accepted by either party, they can ask for an Ombudsman to review. The Ombudsman's decision is binding.

I'm surprised they have allowed it to get this far as the amount is outweighed by the FOS fee which is unrecoverable.

However, don't be surprised if the FOS tale the view that if the insurer has a copy the letter and no reason to doubt it was sent on the day, recorded or not that is enough evidence of proof of sending. In the eyes of the law and the FOS proof of sending is enough to assume reciept. The renewal if automatic as part of your contract, and clearly brought to your attention is not to be considered as a surprise, as you have said, you forgot, but I'm not sure that will be considered a god enought reason.

Good luck though, this could happen to anyone of us, and despite terms and condition,. when it comes down to our own money, we would all do the same as you.
