    • 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.              
    • 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.

Hi,

 

I am new on here and would really appreciate some help/advice if possible. I have recently checked my credit file and noticed I have 2 defaults on there. I knew I had these debts years ago but thought it has been longer than 6 years. I am sure it is to be honest.

 

I have a £407.00 debt with Lowell financial limited and another £209.00 with Marlin financial services, the first debt was with T-Mobile over 6 years back I am almost positive but on my credit file it shows Lowell have defaulted me from 2008 which is atleast 2 years after missing payments with T-Mobile.

 

My 2nd debt is similar in that it was with Clydesdale bank also over 6 years ago but have a default from Marlin in 2010, so why are these defaults appearing from these debt collectors years later than they should?

 

I am not sure exactly how this all works but it seems I should have been defaulted shortly after missing a few payments with the original companies and not years later by these debt collectors. Please correct me if I am wrong in any way.

 

These are small debts in essence and are now causing me problems as wanting to get a mortgage soon, all my finances have been back on track for some time and feel its a harsh punishment for so little amounts. But does this sound legit?

 

What can I do if anything? Just so annoyed as these defaults have only been placed 2 years ago for one of them and 4 years ago for the other when surely should have been defaulted alot longer ago, no?

 

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Hi Welcome to CAG.

 

Lets break this down one debt at a time Lowell first.

 

When was the T mobile debt defaulted by TMob?

Lowell should update the credit files when the aquire a debt BUT the original default date MUST be kept.

 

The Debt with Marlin /Clydesdale.

 

When was it originally defaulted?

 

Here are some facts to work on,

1. The date an account was opened is not really meaninfull when looking at defaults.

 

2. Defaults are usually placed within 6 months of the cause of action. ie the date when a payment was due and not made, after which no further payment was ever made.

 

3. Defaults are after 6 years from CRA files paid or not.

 

4. Statute Barred == 6 clear years with no payment or written acknowledgment of the debt.

 

So you need to know when/if Orange defaulted your account, the same applies to the Clydesdale account.

 

I think youneed to make A Subject Access request to Orange and Clydesdale to get all the data on the accounts, there is a statutory fee of £10 for this the creditor has 40 days to comply.Use the template from the CAG library and address the request to the Data Controller at the creditors head office addresses.

Thank you for your helpful response. I am not sure at all the dates when T-Mobile or Clydesdale defaulted me roughly about 6-7 years ago I would reckon for them both but this is just guess work.

 

I will take your advice and send a subject access request that you mention, so I send one to t-mobile and one to Clydesdale bank with £10.00 enclosed in each is this correct?

Also is it ok to enclose £10 in cash as don't have a cheque book?

 

I am certain these debt collection agencies have not kept the original default dates and will be chasing this info up as per your advice.

Thanks and look forward to your reply.

Hi it would be best to use a postal order obtainable fromany post office for a small fee, safe and secure and can be tracked.

DCAs buy debt6 with the absoluteminimum of information, Default Notices are not routinely stored as hard copy,just note i the records that a DN was set on a certain date.

Ok thanks I will send via postal order. Sorry 1 more thing, do I ask them to include the date when they issued the default or will that already be part of the information they send to me after I send the letter off?

YES ask for the original default date specifically and the actual default balance.

Its a well known trick of the DCA's that they register their own default dates, normally when they acquire the debt.

 

Only the original date of default from the original creditor is valid.

 

Quite how they get away with this repeatedly is a disgrace. It will usually be attributed to an "administrative error" but you will have to prove it by SAR the original creditor.

Occurences such as this are not an every day occurence, and is easily spotted and sorted out, the most common error is that when a DCA updates the entry for a date they have aquired they enter a whole new entry instead making it appear that 2 seperate defaults have been filed in 99.9% of cases the original default date is shown on both.

However there is some chang afoot it seems that the original entry will be marked as settled Balance £0 and a new entry with the balance £xxxx registered under the debt purchasers name, this is supposedly to reflect the true conduct of the defaulted account.

Was going to send letters on friday when I have a day off but sent an email to both ceo's at marlin and lowell to see if any luck. Lowell have emailed back saying I offered a good explanation and they will as a gesture of goodwill close my account on their system and have the default removed and that they would expect the default to be removed within 5 working days and I should check my credit file then for evidence of the removal.

 

Sounds good to me. I have not heard back from marlin yet and this is the main one as it does not leave my file until 2016 and is for only £209.00 originating from clydesdale bank. When I think about it this debt as av said is the wrong default date in which you advised me to send a sar which I will still do if not heard back very soon but I had a standard current account with clydesdale bank with no overdraft but remember clearly that one day an overdraft of £100 was suddenly there, me being quite poor then as at college said nothing an began using it but paying back in regularly but when I left college got a job but made unemployed I had no money just jobseekers allowance at this time and occurred a bank charge that they would not refund therefore it came to this unfortunate scenario.

 

Does that change anything that a mystery overdraft appeared without my say so and that bank charges have caused this? Or should I still just send a sar?

 

Thanks for anymore help/info.

If this ''mystery'' overdraft is pure charges then it should not result in a default and should not be reported on CRA files. the ICO Technical Guidance states that

''if a default sum is made up of charges without which the account would not have defaulted then no default should be placed''.
