    • 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...
    • I would say You should accept it - I HIGHLY doubt you will  be able to claim for letters at trial ans they’re offering you that, which is higher monetary value than interest.   Also they raise a good point, getting interest at anything above 4% is lucky these days, yes judges give it, but rarily above 4%   Also you might find depending on the judge  you don’t get some costs if you take it all the way over £7.40 when court woukdnt award letters costs and thus meaning their award would be less than evris offer which was made    Up to you though but the wait will be 3-4mo for a trial date at least
    • Hi Folks, Been 162 days! Just by way of update. Today I received a text from Opos Ltd so no doubt Capquest are renting the debt out to anybody who fancies a nibble. Safe to say I will not be responding.

    • 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.

Particulars of Claim

 

1. The claimant's claim is for the sum of £13**.** inclusive of interest and charges being monies owed by the Defendant to Claimant pursuant to a fixed-sum loan agreement dated ** January 2012 taken out by the Defendant from Cash Store Limited.

2. By way of a Deed of Assignment entered into between Cash Store Ltd and the Claimant dated ** April 2014 the benefit of the Unsecured Loan and therefore the right to pursue the Defendant for the sums outstanding pursuant to the Unsecured Loan was assigned to the Claimant in accordance with section 136 of the Law Property Act 1925. A copy of the Assignment (in so far as it is relevant to this claim and not subject to confidentialityicon) will be provided in due course to the Court.

3. Notice of the Assignment was given to the Defendant on ** May 2014

4. The Claimant has tried to mediate with the Defendant to resolve this matter with no avail.

5. Despite numerous requests for payment, the sum of £13**.** inclusive of interest and charges to date remains due and outstanding.

 

 

AND THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS

1. The sum of £13**.** pursuant to the paragraphs above

2. Further interest upon the outstanding sum at the rate of 8% per annum pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984 from the date hereof at a daily rate of £0.30 until judgment or sooner payment.

3. Costs and court fees

 

Proposed defence

 

Paragraph 1 is admitted in as far as I did enter into a fixed sum agreement for a payday loan with Cash Store Ltd.The loan amount requested was £805 plus admin fees etc and one months interest the total credit was £1069.79.

 

Paragraph 2 is noted but is stated that I did offer to make a payment arrangement with the original creditor who declined and refused to enter into any negotiation

when I informed them that I was having financial difficulties in making the repayments.

 

Paragraph 3 is admitted I did receive a Notice of Assignment from the claimant.

 

Paragraph 4 & 5 is (you will need to complete this as Im not aware if they did approach for payment or what you did about it)

 

On receipt of this claim I requested by way of a section 77 request a copy of the true original agreement.The claimant response was to provide a reconstituted version as the original had been subject to water damage.They refer to case law Carey v HSBC Bank Plc. which confirms that the term of a 'true copy' can mean a reconstituted loan agreement.

 

However the address of the creditor on the reconstituted version is different to that of the original creditor and also that cancellation rights apply. The original executed agreement referred to none cancellation of the agreement pursuant to CCA1974 the Time Share Act 1992 and also the Financial Services Distance Marketing Regulations 2004.

 

In Carey V HSBC the Judge Waksman stated that any reconstituted version must contain the name and address of the creditor and cancellation clause applicable to the executed agreement.

 

It is therefore considered that this is not a true copy of the executed agreement as it and the original are deficient of the prescribed terms.

The Agreement cannot be enforced against the Defendant without an order of the court by the reason of the fact that it was improperly executed as set out above and by reason of Section 65(1) and 77 (1) of the Act.

 

Nor the Claimant or the original creditor have ever served a Default Notice.For a creditor to enforce a credit agreement against the debtor, he must serve the latter with a default notice, this notice must be served in accordance with section 87 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 (CCA).

 

Where a breach of a prescribed term under regulation 6 and schedule 6 to the Consumer Credit (Agreements) Regulations 1983 is found, the agreement as a whole will be irredeemably unenforceable.

 

The fact that neither have served a Notice of Sums in Arrears pursuant to section 86D CCA2006 he is not entitled to enforce the agreement.

 

By reason of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.

 

 

One defence in response ...edit and add accordingly.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Hi Andy

 

Thanks for doing this, really appreciate your help. I will add in some details for points 4 and 5. Regarding the comments on the DN, can you take a look at entry 20 where I put a copy of the 'DN' that SLL Capital sent (nothing from the OC), what do you think I should mention in this regard?

 

Cheers

Hi Andy

 

the claimant has now sent a letter to the court asking them to proceed and 'responding to my defence' in a letter. Anyway they have at the end proposed a settlement offer which I am happy to accept.

 

Just over £500 vs claim of over £1400. I'm happy with this as the whole dispute was around the ridiculous charges they and the OC had added.

 

I just want to make sure I don't get caught out now so to ensure that correct procedure is followed how should I respond now? They have proposed repayment of the settlement figure over 8 months which is fine by me.

 

Do I reply to them directly accepting their offer and copy in the court?

 

How do I ensure the claim is now discontinued?

 

Thanks for any advice Andy

Hi Andy

 

No it's at the bottom of the letter they sent to the court (and sent me a copy) in reply to my defence.

 

It's a strange letter to be honest, I mean I'm no expert in court protocol but they have sent a letter to the court in reply to my defence answering each paragraph and adding 'exhibits' which are a few e-mails I had sent them previously, kind of a witness statement/settlement offer/general letter to the court all in one.

 

They've headed it 'statement of the claimant'.

 

They detail the offer and payment schedule and say the offer is made in good faith and is a fair resolution and hope it is received by the defendant as intended.

Ring them up and clarify the position.....if they wish to settle you may give it consideration if presented in a Consent/ Tomlin form.

Hi Andy

 

 

On reading this again it is a witness statement that they have sent to the court, the offer of settlement comes at the end of the witness statement. I haven't had anything from the court at all yet (apart from receipt of my defence).

It is their 'legal manager' who has sent this in (not solicitors) but I will see if I can get hold of them or would I be better to put it in writing?

How does the tomlin order work? Does that mean as long as it's paid there is no CCJ similar to mediation arrangement?

 

 

I guess I should receive an AQ next from the court?

 

 

Cheers

Yes DQs next.....just ring the claimants sols up and speak to the person handling the claim......in view of the response to the defence you would like to suggest that you may be able to agree a settlement but would like to do this by way of a Tomlin Order....search Tomlin Order for full explanation but yes it would avoid a CCJ.

Hi Andy

 

 

No joy getting through on the phone to him, have sent e-mail stating I maybe willing to settle as per his proposal in full and final settlement but would like him to draft a tomlin order for my consideration.

 

 

In the meantime is it worth me checking with the court on the status as I've had nothing from them at all?

Hi Andy

 

 

I've had a reply from the claimant which I'd appreciate your thoughts on.

'

Thank you for your email.

 

We are very glad to hear that you have agreed to our offer put to you to repay £**.** for 8 consecutive months. We must firstly make it clear that if one month’s payment is missed this offer will be withdrawn.

 

Secondly you will have to ask the courts for a Tomlin Order as we do not feel this is the correct path to go down due to the threats you have made before regarding repaying your account. There is also a court cost to apply for a Tomlin order which you will have to repay.

 

Please confirm if a reply has been sent back to the courts regarding your intentions of repayment?

I'm a little confused by this and not sure what to do next, should I just wait to receive DQ's and deal with this at mediation?

Any guidance appreciated.
