    • 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. Can anyone help me with this I am just reading through the guide to claiming your money back and the frequently asked questions. If I understand correctly It would be best to close my account before proceeding. I am a little bit worried about closing my account as a) I have a large overdraft and b) I am not sure if another bank will let me open an account when they see that I have an overdraft. Has anyone else been in this position? And can anyone recommend a bank to open an account with?:confused: Any advice would be greatly appreciated:-)

I have read the FAQs and spent a few days reading threads and getting used to the process that you have to go through when you make a claim against your bank. I am confident that I am prepared to take this all of the way to the courts if I need to. I would like to purchase the small claims kit and the small claims practical guide but I am having problems buying through this site. I will be opening my pararchute account this week. Should I phone Abbey first? and Is there anything else that I need to do before I send my first letter? From what I have been reading Abbey are going to give me a hard time but I am prepared for the battle. Any other helpful advice would be greatly appreciated.:confused: :o

Send the first letter, stick to your timescale and try not to speak to them on the phone, it will not really help.

Good luck and come back with any specific questions.

Go for it! Send of the SAR and spend that time reading as many threads on here as possible, you'll get a flavour of how each bank generally works, so when you get a certain response from the bank you'll be wise to it already and not be worried.

 

Two big things A) don't let the bank dictate the timescales, stick to yours rigidly and B) don't let them scare you into taking less that 100% of your claim, YOU WILL WIN!

 

Good luck

Hi All,

 

I just wanted to let you all know that I checked my account yesterday to find that Abbey had charged me £50 for going over my overdraft limit. I called them straight away and told the customer services assistant that I was calling about the charges that they had applied. He looked at my account and then told me that he was going to refund the charges in full. I did not even have to argue the point with him. This is the second time that I have called and they have refunded the charges without me having to actually ask them to do it. I intend to call every time I am charged until I complete my claim. I will be sending off my SAR on Monday.

I was wondering has anyone been in the position of having an overdraft facility and Abbey has taken away the facility without giving notice? I am a little bit worried that this could happen and then I would be stuck financially for the month.:eek: :eek: :eek: Do I move my salary and my bills to my parachute account now? Looking forward to hearing from you guys.:)

 

p.s. Have I added to my thread correctly. I am not very PC literate. Karish

Hi Karish.

I'm in the same boat as you. I also have an od facility and I'm expecting a letter any day now to say they are removing it. I filed with moneyclaim on Tuesday and the claim will be deemed as served on 13th Nov giving Abbey 14 days to respond.

Our charges will more than cover the overdraft but in the meantime I too don't know whether to start moving my direct debits, etc into our new account or just leave them and see what happens

Settled at 50%

Clydesdale £155. Should have been £310 charges, plus interest :( Husbands Account.

 

 

SETTLED IN FULL:

MBNA £1230. For Hubby.

Halifax £39.

Hi, I have confirmation that Abbey have recieved my SAR form. I know that they have 40 days to respond. As we all know they will use stalling tactics. Shall I contact them to confirm that they are going to provide me with the information. I thought a little nudge would not hurt. Or shall I wait a bit longer? Also is it best to call, e mail or write. I have picked up the contact telephone numbers for customer services complaints and Dawn Hoyle head of Customer satisfaction from this site.

 

P.S. Its good to see so may people having success.

Today I received 11 months statements plus a copy of the letter with Abbeys microfiche excuse. I have used the template letter telling them that I am aware that microfiche is relevent filing system and that they now have 22 days to comply with my request. I will be sending it recorded delivery tomorrow. I have calculated the last eleven months charges and it currently adds up to £685. I did not realise that it was so much. Is there anything else that I can do to prepare myself for the next stage whilst I am waiting for the rest of my statements?

Hi everyone,

 

I am in the process of moving my business over to me Natwest account. I have an overdraft on my account. I am not quite sure what to do about the overdraft. I cannot afford to pay it off as it is over £1000 so the question is do I a. Try to make an agreement to pay it off before I lodge my claim for a refund. b. Leave it and claim that the account is in default when Abbey ask me to repay c. Take out a loan to cover the payment knowing that the refund will cover the overdraft payment in full and then reapy the loan when I get the refund. I understand that I can claim that the account is in default but some threads are indicating that Abbey are being extremly heavy handed in these cases and I really do not want a default logged on my credit file even though I know I can ask the judge to have it removed as part of my settlement. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated :o :o Karish

Karish, if it's any consolation I'm in the same situation. In my case, my claim exceeds the overdraft in my now dormant Abbey account. For what it's worth, I'm just going to see what they do. If they get eggy, I'll just write back saying the account is in dispute and if they threaten logging a default with the credit agencies, I'll threaten a complaint to the Ombudsman - I've read elsewhere that this does the trick. Regards, Mad Nick.

What I require

I calculate that you have taken £XXXXX plus £XXX which you have charged me in overdraft interest for the sum which you have taken. Total £XXXXX .

I enclose a schedule of the charges which I am claiming with this letter

 

How do I calculate the figure for the overdraft interest? I have used the simple spreadsheet. Do I have to include overdraft interest?

Hi, everyone. Progress with my case is going well. I recieved my allocation questionnaire yesterday and will be filling it in over the weekend. I also received my offer for the settlement of half the value of my claim. Abbey are also putting pressure on me to repay my overdraft I have received a telephone call and a letter but I will be sending them a letter reminding them that my account is in defaualt and offer to pay a sum each month. I will also be sending them a letter rejecting their offer. I have been able to do these things with confidence because of the invaluable help from this site. Do I send the rejection letter headed without prejudice. As their offer letter is headed without prejudice.

 

Thanks
