    • 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.

Hi, I'll try and keep this as short as possible.

 

I have been contacted by DMS attempting to retrieve a shortfall on a house sale from 21st June 2007 (that's right, 7 years ago). The amount is £7,957.

 

I emailed them back with the standard wording "I do not accept liability, please send me a breakdown, this debt is 7 years old therefore you have taken too long to contact me and I don't have to pay", etc.

 

They sent me a statement & breakdown.

 

I borrowed £90k, after Interest (it was an interest only Mortgage),

DD Recall Charges, Admin Fees, Additional Interest, Default Notice Charges, etc

they mustered up a sum of £113,149.70 (over £23k more than I borrowed).

 

The solicitor acting for them then paid £5,380.58 worth of fees which is broken down

but doesn't tell me who to except for £2,070.94 to my Estate Agent

who they de-instructed and never used, even tho the house was sold!

 

Our Sol was doing final searches when an old unsecured loan appeared

as a second charge which prevented the sale going through

so we handed the keys back so the Mortgage company could complete the sale.

 

They instructed they're own Estate Agent and sold the property 7 months later for £117,500.

This left me £900.

 

Except then, in a roundabout way, with lots of adding and subtracting

they finally added £6,985.90 (7k!!!!) early redemption charges.

 

So that leaves the £7,957 they are chasing.

 

So what do I do?

 

Tell them I'm not paying...

 

Try to claim some of the charges back to drop the balance...

Or send the income & expenditure back and offer them a payment...

 

I have till Monday night to respond.

 

Thanks

DMS, who do they think they are

 

certainly never heard of them here

 

just remember

no stupid DCA nor their fake/tame solicitors

are BAILIFFS

 

and have NO SUCH LEGAL POWERS.

 

the mortgage lending council are quite clear

that if the original mortgage company have no regularly

sent letters regarding the shortfall

 

then after 6yrs it is considered 'dead'

 

this might open your eyes if you got spoofed 'fees' visit/arrears too

DCA's view debtors as suckers, marks and mugs

NO DCA has ANY legal powers whatsoever on ANY debt no matter what it's Type

and they

are NOT and can NEVER  be BAILIFFS. even if a debt has been to court..

If everyone stopped blindly paying DCA's Tomorrow, their industry would collapse overnight...

Hi the council of mortgage lenders states the following:

 

From February 2000 the policy is as follows.

The CML says anyone whose property was repossessed and sold and who has not been contacted by their lender within six years from the date of the sale will not be asked to pay the shortfall.

 

Did the lender contact you within the last 6 years ? who is the mortgage lender?

GE Money Home Lending are members of the CML :) so you should tell the DCA who is chasing you that, since you have received no communication since 2007, under the CML rules they should not be chasing you for any shortfall (which you do not acknowledge in any case).

Yes, but what was the contact about ? did you write to them admitting the debt?

OK, unless they can provide a transcript of the call including date and time, or have something in writing from you then you have not admitted the debt.

 

You need to write back to them (by recorded delivery) or tracked email,

 

 

advising you have no recollection of making a telephone call nor having any conversation about the alleged debt

 

 

and as such acknowledgement of said alleged debt is denied.

 

 

Advise them that unless they can provide written proof from yourself of any acknowledgement of the debt,

 

 

you do not expect to hear from them again.

But surely the fact they have taken this long to contact me with no contact in between still applies?

 

 

One more thing as well.

 

 

When they wrote to me as detailed in my original post above, they lied.

 

 

They advised they had notification that my IVA had now failed and had been asked to contact me direct.

 

 

This shortfall was never included on the IVA.

  • 2 months later...

I received a reply - 2 months later although they continually demand a reply within 14 days.

 

Anyhow, they response simply said please find attached a letter from GE Money confirming they had contact from you in Dec 2008.

 

The letter says we confirm you telephoned our offices in Dec 2008 at 14:12 to request an update on your Credit Report!

 

I did ring them to ask them to remove the mortgage from my credit report as it had been cleared as far as I was concerned. I did not admit liability to any shortfall.

 

Where do I go from here?

If they are saying tis phone call restarted the statute bar 6 year clock they are wrong,

 

 

admission of liability Must be unequivocal and in writing.

 

 

You could just write back and state the a phone call (from you) does not amount to an admission of liability.

The CML guidance I think states if the " Lender" has not made contact in six years the shortfall will not be chased.

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.
