    • 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.

Please can someone advise

 

I received a Bankruptcy Enquiry letter from Land Registry referring to court proceedings, giving my previous address. I moved about 6 months ago. I phoned the court and they said the petition is by someone called Lowell Portfolio with a hearing date in 2 weeks time. I haven't received anything from the court.

 

What on earth do I do?

Hi Alf

 

Firstly calm down,,Are you aware of any comms by dca's from previous address? if so give us a breakdown of all particulars as much info as you can ( I D Hidden ) then we can assist further.

 

Initially I would call the courts and get ref numbers etc from claiments POC, better still hard copies.

 

Mr, easy does it.

Regards..Mr Worried :)

Could you supply more details please such as what the alleged debt is ie. credit card? loan? Original creditor and when did you default.

 

POsting the particulars of claim without identifying info would be most helpful too :)

 

 

Hi bb

 

You beat me by a minute! if only I had not answered the door to sign for a reconstituted CCA

Thank you for replying so quickly.

 

The court gave me a case reference number and a phone number of the claimant, but no other details. I've a had a look through old letters. Its a BOS credit card for about £3000. I received some letters last year threatening court action or visits but was advised to ignore them. I last made a payment in 2006.

Hi Alf

 

This is what I would do.

 

Go to the court and request a copie of the claim (the POC..Particulars of claim) it is only then you can deal with this problem efficiently. in the meantime give us the details from BOS and what letters they sent you, ok you ignored as per the forum advise, did you cca them? so many questions yes I know, but this problem will ease itself once we have the details.

 

Get back ON THE PHONE TO COURTS AND TELL THE YOU WANT A COPY OF CLAIM, we also need to establish where ' your pack ' was sent. old addy? lots to do Alf so get on with it.

 

Mr

Regards..Mr Worried :)

CCA = Consumer Credit Agreement and the request helps determine their right to chase for the alleged account. You can find the letter in the templates library.

 

When you get the copy of the CCJ post the POCs so we can see what they're alleging and what address they sent the original to.

 

It most likely went through Northampton bulk centre so ring them first.

Sorry, my bad...

 

Is lowlife the sole claimant and if not, who is the original creditor? Did they know about your change of address? This practice is becoming widespread throughout the financial sector to secure judgements by default. What did the letter from the land registry say? How much is the oustanding amount?

Alf...sorry to read this, as has been said above go to the court and state that you are the litigant in person and get ALL the paperwork in the file......you need to send in your defence so it is in court (and with the opposing solicitor) at least 5 days before the hearing. Have you not received a statutory demand ?

£5 fee. But they suggested I contact their solicitor directly for it. Is it too late to male an offer of installments or are they in control of the situation? The house equity is worth way more than the debt so bankruptcy is a a nightmare scenario.

I was in a similar situation to yourself about 10 years ago.

 

Although not relevant to the present it was for a mortgage indemnity guarantee after my house was repossesed with negative equity back in the late 80s.

 

The creditor has not necessarily already got a CCJ against you - they don't need to do that before presenting a bankruptcy petition.

 

What has happened is that they have issued a bankruptcy petition against you and the letter from the land registry is telling you that a caution has been placed against your property to prevent you selling it before the court can hear the petition.

 

As the others have said you need to get to the court as soon as possible and get all the documents and find out when the date is for the hearing.

 

The whole bankruptcy thing is governed by the Insolvency Rules 1986. You can find a copy here:-

 

http://www.insolvency.gov.uk/insolvencyprofessionandlegislation/legislation/uk/insolvencyrules.pdf

 

and the relevant bit for individuals starts from the bottom of page 385

 

As part of the bankruptcy petition they have to provide evidence of service of the Statutory Demand and they really should have done it by personal service or at the least recorded delivery - rule 6.11. I'm guessing that neither of these took place. This will be a strong argument in your favour.

 

Once you get all the paperwork from the court then we can deal with this properly.

 

You do need to take this seriously, if you do not oppose this then they can make you bankrupt.

I would suggest that you do not do anything like that yet. You do have some very strong arguments against bankruptcy.

 

I would suggest that as long as you do opoose the bankruptcy petition then the worst case scenario would be that they would give up on the bankruptcy petition and then issue a court claim against you which you can either pay then or defend depending on the circumstances.

 

THe best case scenario would be that you find out that the agreement is unenforceable and they go away all together.

Alf....a visit to the court to get the papers is far better.....once you have done that and got copies of ALL the paperwork (which will include a copy of the stat demand, an affadavit showing that personal service had been attempted, and a copy of the petition with other witness statements), then you can potentially defend, you could ring the solicitors, but you will fall directly in line with their demands and may make you sign a Tomlin Order.....you need to get any defence you do in to the courts at least 5 days before the hearing with one copy of your defence to the court and another to the opposing solicitor.

Thank you for repies

 

I got copies from the court and went to the old house to pick up any mail.

 

The court file was slim and I was told I was given a copy of everything.

The statutory notice was served by subsitution May in so much a statement reads that someone attended the house and left a letter not including the legal notice. I was living at the address then and saw no envelope on the mat to that effect.

 

The Bankruptcy order is dated beginning November with an attachment stating substituted demand is acceptable. There is nothing for me to fill in or reply, but im concerned now because there are less than the 7 days left to reply.

 

Can I ask for it to be postponed, or should I call their solicitor and negotiate something/anyrhing, or invole a solicitor etc? I cannot afford to busk it without knowing what I'm doing.

45.113 Presentation of the petition

When filing the petition, the petitioner must file the original and 2 copies, (one for service on the debtor, one to be exhibited to the affidavit of verification and an additional one, if appropriate, for the supervisor of any individual voluntary arrangement in force) and the original must be verified by an affidavit. The affidavit shall be made by the petitioner or some other authorised person with the necessary knowledge of the matters referred to in the petition. The petition is attached to the affidavit and the affidavit is prima facie evidence of the truth of the contents of the petition, which means that unless evidence is produced to the court to show otherwise, the information in the petition shall be accepted as being true. If the petition has been preceded by a statutory demand, the affidavit of service should also be filed in court with it. When the court is satisfied that the petition and other documents are in order, the petition and all copies will be sealed and two (or three if an individual voluntary arrangement is in force) copies handed back to the petitioner. The date and time of filing the petition will be endorsed on the petition and the copies, as will the venue for the hearing of the petition.

Notes: [r6.10, 6.12] [Form 6.13] [r6.11]

 

 

 

45.114 Delays in presenting thepetition

Where the petition is based on a statutory demand which was served more than 4 months before the presentation of the petition, the affidavit verifying the petition must explain the delay.
