    • 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.

I received a claim form from MKDP today for an amount in excess of 5k.

 

 

Claim is as follows. Issue date is 10/12.

The claimant claims the sum of £6000

being monies due from the claimant under a regulated agreement

originally between the defendant and {A major bank, Credit Card}.

 

{The account} was assigned to the claimant on {a date over 3 years ago}, notice of this has been provided to the defendant.

 

The defendant has failed to make payments in accordance with the terms of the agreement and

a default notice has been served pursuant to the CCA 1974.

 

The claimant has thusfar complaied with the pre-action conduct practice direction.

 

 

What is the value of the claim? £6000

Is the claim for a current or credit/loan account or mobile phone account? Credit Card

When did you enter into the original agreement before or after 2007? 2009

Has the claim been issued by the original creditor

or was the account assigned and it is the Debt purchaser who has issued the claim. Account assigned.

 

– did you receive a Notice of Assignment? Unsure - can't recall recieving anything before 2-3 weeks ago.

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Unsure

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? No

Why did you cease payments? redundancylink3.gif

What was the date of your last payment? April 2009

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved?

Yes - regarding agressive DC Practices, also disputed this with the assigned company.

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

and make any attempt to enter into a dm plan? Yes, at the time I offered £1 per week, as was recieving JSA, which was rejected.

 

 

..............................

 

I sent a cease and desist letter by email in excess of 12 months ago having placed the account in dispute over aggressive DC practices.

 

No response was recieved (other than the autoresponse - proving it was received), never mind one within 21 days!

 

Could this be considered aan absolute defence to the claim?

 

Either way what would my next course of action be? (Have read a number of other threads so am beginning to build up a picture).

 

Thanks in advance

Arthur.

No it oculd not be used as a defence. Other than that, I'm afraid that your story is pretty confusing and I think that you need to lay it out carefully and in detail so that we can understand and maybe help you.

Thanks for your help - documents have been sent today.

 

Just had a couple of questions if anyone would be able to help:

 

If the claimant was to agree to accept a full and final settlement,

would they then cease to pursue the case or would a CCJ still be recorded?

(Also, would this be the case if I agreed a payment plan out of court with the claimant?).

 

Also, I've noticed that the claimant has spelled my name wrong on the form, not sure if this impacts things in any way? (Live in hope!)

 

If I don't receive a response by the date for filing a defence,

I understand I should submit a one saying that the creditor is in default of my request.

Do I then just wait to receive any more correspondance from the court,

or is there anything I should be doing?

What would usually happen following this and are timescales fairly long?

 

If the case would take around 6 months to reach the judgement stage,

I'm hopeful I would be able to pay in full within 31 days (should the court find against me),

I understand if this is the case no entry would be made with credit reference agencies?

 

Finally, I have seen that many threads bear the title 'claim struck out' etc. How many cases usually get as far as the court/judgement stage?

 

Really appreciate the effort you are putting in to help me and others,

hope that one day I'll be able to use this experience to help others in a similar situation.

Hi Arthur

 

Thanks for your help - documents have been sent today.

 

Just had a couple of questions if anyone would be able to help:

 

If the claimant was to agree to accept a full and final settlement, would they then cease to pursue the case or would a CCJ still be recorded? (Also, would this be the case if I agreed a payment plan out of court with the claimant?). If you could agree a settlement by way of a Consent Order or Tomlin Order then you could resolve this without a CCJ and stay the claim

 

Also, I've noticed that the claimant has spelled my name wrong on the form, not sure if this impacts things in any way? (Live in hope!) Could do if they get a judgment and then try to execute it....but not with initial claim

 

If I don't recieve a response by the date for filing a defence, I understand I should submit a one saying that the creditor is in default of my request. Do I then just wait to recieve any more correspondance from the court, or is there anything I should be doing? What would usually happen following this and are timescales fairly long? All the answers are in the surrounding threads on how their claims are progressing...have a read

 

If the case would take around 6 months to reach the judgement stage, I'm hopeful I would be able to pay in full within 31 days (should the court find against me), I understand if this is the case no entry would be made with credit reference agencies? Shouldn't take that long ...all claims vary...which court etc....but if payment is made in full within 28 days then the CCJ is not recorded.

 

Finally, I have seen that many threads bear the title 'claim struck out' etc. How many cases usually get as far as the court/judgement stage? 10% if that .....subject to who the claimant is and how strong their claim is and value.

 

Really appreciate the effort you are putting in to help me and others, hope that one day I'll be able to use this experience to help others in a similar situation.

 

Regards

So, no response (not even an acknowledgement) has been received from the claimant.

I'm due to file a defence on Monday and would like to get it in tomorrow if possible. Here is my proposal.

 

1. I, Arthur, am The Defendant in this action and make the following statement as my defence to the claim made by MKDP LLP

 

2. Except where otherwise mentioned in this defence, I neither admit nor deny any allegation made in The Claimant’s Particulars of Claim and put The Claimant to strict proof thereof.

 

3. The Claimant’s Particulars of Claim are vague and fail to disclose any cause of action; they appear to be an abuse of the process in that they fail to deal with the basic rules of pleading in accordance with the civil procedure rules. (Even allowing for the constraints of the bulk issue system)

 

4. No documents supporting the claim in the particulars have been offered which The Defendant needs to establish what agreement it is that this action is based upon and so The Claimant's claim appears without merit.

 

5. On receipt of the claim form The Defendant sent a CPR 31.14 request for a copy of the agreement, default notice, notice of assignment and a statement of account showing how the amount claimed has been reached which form the basis of this claim.

 

 

6. The Defendant also sent a formal request pursuant to s.77/78 of the Consumer Credit Act 1974 for a copy of the agreement.

 

7. It has been confirmed via the Royal Mail website that the above letters were received and signed for.

 

8. To date the claimant has failed to respond to, or acknowledge, the CPR 31.14 request.

 

9. To date no response has been received from The Claimant for the request of Consumer credit act 1974 agreement.

 

10. The claimant has failed to respond to other communication from the defendant prior to this claim being filed, namely correspondance sent on 12/8/2013 and 13/12/2014 enquiring as to the nature of the claimant's alleged relationship with the defendant.

 

11. The claimant has deliberately sought to misrepresent itself by presenting a letter before action in the name of another company, both of which are subsidiaries of a parent company named the 'Compello Group'. This appears to be a deliberate abuse the process of civil procedure in order to mislead the defendant, in an apparent attempt to gain judgement by default.

 

12. As a result, the Claimants claim does not contain sufficient particulars to permit me to file a properly particularised and pleaded defence. I am at a disadvantage to respond to this claim. Consequently, I deny all allegations on the particulars of claim and put the Claimant to strict proof thereof.

 

13. It is denied that I have an agreement with MKDP LLP.

 

14. If, which is not admitted, such an agreement exists, the precise terms and date of any such agreement are not admitted. I do not have in my possession any such agreement and am not therefore able to comment thereon. The Claimant is put to strict proof as to the date and terms of such agreement.

 

15. Without admission that any cause of action is shown by The Claimant it is denied that I am indebted to The Claimant as alleged or at all.

 

16. It is alleged the Claimant has an agreement and there has been an Assignment. Within the proof of claim it was stated that there had been an assignment to the Claimant on a date which was given as XXX. As such it is contended that no such Notice of Assignment has been served pursuant to Section 136(1) of the Law of Property Act 1925. Without a Notice of Assignment, The Assignment is merely equitable and The Claimant is put to strict proof to disclose this and prove that this claim can commence in their own name.

 

 

17. AND the Defendant

 

Seeks an order that The Claimant’s action is struck out or otherwise is dismissed on the grounds that any claim cannot succeed.

 

i. Alternatively if the court decides not to strike out The Claimant’s case, it is requested that The Court orders full disclosure of the requested documents pursuant to the civil procedure Rules.

 

ii. The Defendant respectfully asks the permission of The Court to amend this defence if or when The Claimant provides full disclosure of the requested documents and allows inspection of the original documents.

Hi all,

Just a quick update.

 

Defence as suggested by dx above (modified to this case obv) was submitted to the court and acknowledgement letter received.

 

MDKP replied in early Jan with the usual 'may take up to 8 weeks' to find the documents, nothing heard since and 8 weeks now well expired.

 

According to the original letter from the court the claim is now stayed, as no response from claimant.

 

Is my next step to invite the court to strike out or the claimant to withdraw? Or is it now just a waiting game?

 

Thanks for any advice.

Well having had no communication from MDKP (or any other party for that matter) in over a year, I had a letter today stating that the account has now been assigned to Hoist Portfolio 2.

 

From reading other threads I assume this means an application is likely to be lodged to lift the stay at some point in the future. I might not have looked in the right places, but I'm unsure what my next steps would be if this does happen.

Hi again everyone,

I've been away and on my return I found a letter from the Court stating the case was due to be heard next month and that the claimant was required to pay a hearing fee to proceed. The deadline for filing the fee has now passed and I have not heard anything. Obviously I will give the court time to process this and see if the case is due to proceed closer to the time.

 

If the fee is not paid, should I request the court strike out the claim? I am frustrated that this process has spent over a year in limbo.

 

On the date in question I am unable to attend due to work commitments (due to my occupation I cannot take time off, even when sick!). Can I submit my evidence to the court in writing for consideration? Obviously if attendance is the key to success I will need to do this. I don't see how I have any evidence to submit to the court/claimant other than, I assume, a written statement stating something along the lines of the claimant failing to respond to requests, provide any documents etc.

 

Thanks

Arthur

The letter you refer to should also contain the courts directions that both parties must comply with by the dates stated...if you fail to comply your defence can be struck out.

You standard disclosure will be CPR/CCA requests and responses ..your witness statement will be a particularised version in support of your defence.

 

You comply with everything by the dates stated......if they fail to pay the fee or comply with the directions the claim will be struck out anyway.

 

If it actually gets to the trial...it always advisable to attend....those in attendance usually win if the other party fail to show.

I've just spoken to the court and it transpires the hearing fee has not been paid.

 

I'm working through the witness statement and documentation now - is it still advisable to submit this or should I hold back?

 

I've not received anything from the claimant so don't really want to show my 'cards' unless it would damage the defense if not submitted.
