    • 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.

If you take your fit note to the JCP office you will be handed an envelope to post it yourself. We do not take fit notes to go in the internal mail anymore and the AJCS (customer service appointments) have to be agreed to by te Benefit Centre first. The appointments seem to only be available now if the oiginal fit note has been lost in the postal system and the GP has issued a duplicate note.

Thanks for the update. Saves me a journey but means I will definitely not get paid on time...that is a pain (to say the least). Although my certificate only runs on on the actual day I am due to be paid so I am not exactly sure why I should not be paid....

 

I will just have to see if can get a cancellation or even just a telephone appointment with GP in advance....

 

The combination of slow Royal Mail and the internal processes means that I have no certainty of when (or sometimes if) the certificate will arrive...if only these could be automated from the GP to the BDC (with enough evidence to show it from them)...would cut out the delay and "lost in post".....:|

 

Good grief.....

Well a new electronic fit note is due to be used soon, it will be printed on a single A4 sheet of paper and will include a barcode (can't remember what the barcode info will contain), so not sure if that is possibly a step towards it being automated with Universal Credit.

What do you mean "clerical"? How would I know that?

 

All I know is that I have never been paid on time and always had to chase and no one has been able to tell me why....

 

Thanks for the advice...if the payment is late next time I will ask but any delay that time may be because I cannot get fit note in time because earliest general GP appointment is next friday and note is needed well before due date of 21 June I believe....I will be taking it to the local Jobcentre to cut out part of the post bit and hope it will be okay...

 

If you ring up and they cant find you on the system then its a good bet the claim is clerical.

sometimes a fault cant be fixed and then the Dex keeps the claim clerically.

When you say you have to phone up for each payment this to me sets the alarm bells rings

may be clerical, if so it can be put on as ongoing, if you have to ring again gives us the heads up and I will tell you what to say :)

Thanks Mikey

 

They have never had any problem finding me on the system the problem has always been that they just dont seem to have managed to pay me on time....

 

Anyway, given the fit note issue I fully expect this next payment to be late...frustrating given the fact that I am seeing my GP a good four working days before the next one expires but am at the mercy of the post and processing.....I suppose no one would send FP if the certificate arrives too late for the "normal" five days?

 

As my WCA will be the day following it is probable that the issue on ESA will become an issue for JSA if what I fear happens...is that the same "system"? I asume it is...

Update on my friends situation.

 

It is Wednesday, the day she was told she would receive all her money and guess what? She only got another £160!

 

She has called them, at her expense of course, and they say the rest will be with her on Friday and they are sending a letter today.....

 

Why on earth would she need to be paid by instalment like that I wonder?

 

Seems earlier "letter" was not sent so we await this one with bated breath.

I know how you feel and I don't even work in the same area!!:-)

 

I think she is just emotionally and physcially exhausted so could not be bothered to fight today.

 

It is not as if the money issue is the only one she is dealing with... her GP told her today that he fears she is on the edge of a nervious breakdown (my friend that is, not the GP although these days I would't be surprised if both!).

It has been a bit of a roller coaster as I fear my friend is nearer a complete breakdown and she has begun being paranoid about what I say and what she thinks I do (if you get what I mean).

 

From what I can gather the money did not get to her until Tuesday and she finally realised how little she had and that she was still barely surviving but, thinking and believeing her next payment due date for ESA was to be yesterday, Thursday, she paid off her rent arrears only to find out that her benefit payment day has been changed to a Wednesday!! (I thought there were set days for set benefits, is this not the case?) so she is having to wait AGAIN...she has a bit of CT paid tomorrow but it is really not helping to be messed around.

 

Anyway my main question is now, she has finally realised she needs help to make the calls and sort things out but CAB blacklisted her when she missed two appointments for unrelated issues over two years ago (even though it is recognised that mental illness can make more forgetful etc) and we have already covered how helpful the Law Centre were in the earlier part of this thread unfortunately. Can I be allowed to assist her and what is needed from her to allow this?

 

Thanks

Goodness knows whats going on, paydays should have remained the same,

take the last two digits of her NINO.

1-20 mon

21-40 tues

41-60 wed

61-80 thur

81-99 fri

so that will tell you her payday.,

Right you can get form of authority to speak to the DWP on her claim, you need just need to be with her when she makes the calls, go through security and you can speak to them on her behalf..
