    • 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.

A bit of advice needed please.

 

I personally made a PPI claim to Halifax Bank. I received an offer of just over £4000 at the beginning of december. I was advised I would have to wait 30 days for payment to be processed.

 

Over this period of 30 days I have rang their helpline a few times, just to get a status update. Each time I have asked if I will 100% definately be receiving a cheque for the amount offered.

 

The reason for this is that the balance outstanding on the credit card is considerably more than the amount offered. The balance of this debt is being paid through Payplan, the debt management company. These payment are up to date as per the agreement with Halifax. Payplan have not bought the debt, they are dealing with Halifax's debt collection agents. Its a scottish company I cannot remember the name except it has 3 surnames.

 

I have brought this to the attention of their advisors, and each time was told because I instigated the claim the money will be paid to me. In the letter of offer, it also states that " the balance will be credited back to the credit card which is still live and subsequently (if not already received) a cheque for the amount will be forwarded at the earliest opportunity"

 

The 30 day period expired last week, and no cheque has been received. I have rang everyday this week to see whats going on. They say the amount has been paid back onto the credit card, however a cheque has not been issued as yet. I have claimed financial hardship and they say they have e-mailed the payment department to get the cheque sent asap.

 

Now my concern is even though I have been told on a number of occasions that I will definately receive the payment, 2 seperate departments may have their wires crossed. I am desperate for this money but am really worried they will take it off the debt I have with them.

 

Can they do this even though I have it in writing and have been told the payment will come to me?

 

If so, what steps should I take?

 

Many thanks in advance for your advice.

I think you will find that they can offset against a live credit card account and if that clears the balance and there is some left over then the difference is paid by cheque.

 

You say that the balance on the account exceeded the refund due so I would guess the whole amount has gone to the account.

 

Can you not check the amount which has gone to the account and compare it to the offer amount in the letter?

Total owed is £10k. Amount i am expecting is £4100. I have been told on a number of ocxasions that as i had claimed the money would come to me. After lengthy chats about this with their helpline i have budgeted and paid a number of small debts off, which i was told was ok to do. The thing is now, i havent any money left to pay rent and bills this month. The payment was supposed to be with me friday so i am obviously very concerned if they dont forward the cheque. Surely i cant be advised this is what to expect only for them to keep the money when that scenario has never been suggested!

Has anything actually been paid pack to the account? If so how much?

Sorry have not made that bit clear. Halifax always credit the amount offered back onto the credit card then take it straight back off when they issue the cheque. That is what is quoted in the letter of offer as well as what i have been told more than once. It is standard practise apparently

I haven't heard that one before...I'll make a note of that.

 

So they put it to the credit card account to reduce the outstanding balance. Then they issue a cheque which increases the outstanding balance?

 

If that is the case I think the only thing you can do is keep pestering them and keep reiterating your hardship but usually the bank's estimate of when payments are made are not realistic sadly.

hi stu

i've never heard of any credit card reclaim going to a debtor unless it puts the card in credit.

 

never seen this on any halifax card before to my knowledge.

 

unless you can pull them up upon HOW

your PCM was attributed to each months debt and in what order

 

there was talk at one time that the FOS

considered each month on a CC PPI as a separate agreement

and ppi only ran for that month

till it was charged until the next.

so you could get it back...

but then the question of legit off-set comes into play.

 

sorry but i think you are stuffed

and jumped a bit quick

by being given wrong info

 

p'haps the rep got loans mixed up with CC's

 

as with loans its OBV you paid off the PPI portion each month

 

with rolling credit. its a diff matter.

Hi, thanks for all the input. I have no access to a scanner so it is difficult to post the letter of offer to here.

I will just reiterate this part of the letter:-

 

"the amount offered will be credited back onto the credit card, and subsequently ( if not already received) a cheque for that amount will be sent under seperate cover at the earliest possibility"

 

There is no mention in any of the correspondence of Halifax keeping the money to pay off some of the outstanding balance. It is not just an individual advisor that has told me i will definately receive the cheque, there are at least 5 different advisors telling me the same thing when i have explained the situation too them. They are obviously aware its a credit card as they say each time thats where it gets credited to for accountability purposes.

 

Obviously i am extremely concerned about this situation, especially after being advised more than once i would 100% definately receive a cheque!

Just a quick one on this.

 

I spoke yet again to Halifax today. Again I have been assured that payment will be made by cheque to me as that is what it states in the letter of offer. If it was going to be used to pay off arrears then the letter would have stated that. Good news, but I won't hold my breath till the cheque drops through the letterbox.

 

One infuriating thing. The timeline for payment being processed has to be within 30 days of the offer. This date expired last friday. No payment by cheque has been made so the managers at the helpline have had to "escalate"the claim, so payment can be sent asap. What is never mentioned in any correspondence is the fact that this process takes another 28 days, as laid down by FSA guidelines.

 

There's nobody I can ring and complain to, in the meantime I just have to sit and wait it out. Just wonder if this is the normal way of doing things as a "kick in the teeth" for them that dare make the claim. I also wonder what will happen after 28 days.. is there another period of time to wait while they go through another process?

I too am in the same situation as yourself stu997. I received my offer letter for Halifax loan ppi dated 29th december on 3rd january stating I will receive a cheque. I rang Halifax to find out when I will receive the cheque and they told me it can take 28 days. I am also in arrears on the account but nowhere on the letter does it say it will be applied to my loan account. Has anyone else been in a similar situation and if so what was the outcome.

What is really annoying is they didnt post the cheque out within the 30 days stipulated by the fsa.. So now it could be another 28 days to sort it.. As in guidelines laid down by fsa.

I wonder what the next time period will be if they dont sort it by then!

Am happy to know that others are in the same position asme and have been told the same. Thats a relief!!

Hi All..

 

I received a cheque today from halifax for £4113, as final settlement for my PPI claim. The card as I said is in a debt management plan with Payplan with an amount of £10k still owing. Some of this will go towards this debt of course.

 

So I hope everyone can take this as a positive outcome if you are in a similar situation.

 

And for those who give up their time to offer the advice you do, I hope this will update your knowledge on such matters, and you are able to advise all them that come here accordingly.

 

Once again I thank you all.
