    • 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 all,

 

 

I am in the process of restarting my DMP with Stepchange

after not being able to pay it for quite a while due to the financial impact of my daughters ill health.

 

However,

I have come home today to a judgement in default for £7000 which is one of the creditors (Black Horse)

that Stepchange were going to be dealing with.

 

 

I did not receive any court papers at all and now dont know what to do about it.

 

 

Obviously it is a huge CCJ and they have demanded repayment in full which we could not do.

 

Strangely enough,

I also received a phonecall today from Natwest who are going to capitalise our mortage arrears

to say that they have received the unsigned paperwork back saying not known at this address.

 

 

The lady checked our address and it was absolutely correct so it resending that paperwork

 

 

I could probably show a court that I am not trying to pull a fast one by saying I hadnt received the paperwork.

 

 

What is my next step?

 

 

Can anyone advise?

sure it was black horse and not a DCA

sending papers to an old address

on purpose?

 

 

have you the CCJ number?

please don't hit Quote...just type we know what we said earlier..

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...

Yes or at least the single piece of paper has the claim number on it.

 

 

It looks official and I have seen these before unfortunately.

 

 

It has a solicitors name on it.

 

 

Marlin were dealing before and that is who Stepchange would have been dealing with.

 

 

What can I do now?

Plus, the amount is massively inflated by about 2k plus from what we knew we still owed them.

 

 

Any advice?

Well,

the judgement gives the claimant as Marlin Europe II Limited

but the name and address for payment as Mortimer Clarke Solicitors Ltd.

 

Both in Worthing though.

 

Also,

this debt was standing at 5k when we last paid it but the judgement is for 7.7k.

Dont know how that works out though!!

 

The court costs are listed as £540.

 

What do I do next.

 

 

Tried a few times to contact Step Change for advice but its so difficult to get them

especially when I only have small pockets of time to do so when they are open

and tbh their advice often tends to conflict depending on who you speak to.

 

Trust this forum much more

ok back to basics then.

 

 

have you moved in recent times

 

 

were BH aware of your current address

 

 

was the Claimform served to that address.

 

 

to find a way of attack we need a good bit of info and background.

No, I havent moved at all in 20 years!

 

 

BH were aware of our address as were Marlin.

 

 

I have had some correspondence from Marlin and

I was aware we needed to restart our payments to them

(if you recall, we had a dmp which due to my daughters illness became impossible to keep to).

 

 

We are in the process of setting up a new dmp and I have listed the debt to BH on the initial paperwork.

There is no good reason for the court claim forms to have gone astray

but I do find it strange that the 'good' paperwork that Natwest sent to us recently was returned to them

as not known at this address when it did have the correct details on it.

 

 

We have in the past received correspondence for a street with a very similar name in our town

and we have gone and given it to the correct people

so that could be something

but the new correspondence from Natwest arrived safe and sound yesterday

even though it was addressed exactly the same as the first time they sent it.

 

 

I just know that the court are going to think 'oh yeah, that old chestnut' but it is true.

 

With regards to the debt and its escalation in value,

I still have the old dmp details from the last payment to BH and that balance is 2.5k less so that in itself is strange.

 

 

Is it possible to have the CCJ cancelled somehow on the basis that we couldnt defend it

and even if that isnt possible, can we get the balance looked at?

 

 

I havent a clue what steps to take next and although Step Change are being helpful iro setting up a new dmp,

they dont seem to understand the law and their advice is always different

dependent on whoever answers the phone.

 

 

My experience of CAG has always been much more positive

and you guys always seem to know what to do next.

Thanks for the help:-)

Hi kken

 

You can make application to set a side the judgment using an application form N244 the fee is £155 with hearing..

.if you can get the consent of the judgment creditor then it would be £55 without hearing.

 

Being able to set a side is an option if you never received the intial claim pack.

 

 

.I note your residence has been static so deemed served to previous address is not applicable...

 

 

..heres the other problem should you make application to set a side..

 

 

the court decides on the set aside in conjunction with whether you have a viable defence to offer.

 

 

..so you also have to show you do have grounds to submit a defence that has merit.

 

Regards

 

Andy

Thank you for the reply.

 

Tbh,

that appears to be a problem as I guess even I would question the claim form going astray

and it is probably the most common defence.

 

Ok, so bearing that in mind and the likelihood that I cant submit a defence that would result in a set aside,

what other options do I have.

 

 

I am so confused!

If you have no defence then its pointless really making application to set a side.

..but remember claims are issued by normal post and quite a lot do get lost.

..so that may be accepted as a genuine valid reason.

..but as stated then the court will ask for your proposed defence.

 

If you prefer not to challenge the judgment.

..then you need to consider payment.

..I assume the judgment is forthwith and so first you need to make application to vary this to monthly.

 

 

This is done using form N245 again the fee is £55.

We could do with some help from you.

Hi Andy,

 

 

I do have a defence in that I didnt receive the claim form

but I figured from what I have read (and maybe misunderstood) that I wouldnt get too far with it as my address has been the same for so long.

 

I am probably frustrating the site team but I just dont understand what to do next

and of course have very little money to deal with it all.

 

Any advice is really appreciated.

None receipt is not a defence as per my previous posts.

..its part way for a successful set a side.

..its the second part only you can decide on

...do you have a defence.

.or let me re phrase it..

.if you had received the court claim what would have been your defence?

 

As for payment....

 

" If you prefer not to challenge the judgment...then you need to consider payment...I assume the judgment is forthwith and so first you need to make application to vary this to monthly.This is done using form N245 again the fee is £55."

Ok, think I have got it now thanks.

 

 

Btw, I have also been reading about cca's.

 

 

Before I sort out payment amounts for the other creditors or even for this one, is it worth doing that.

 

 

Am I right in thinking that they cant take any further action whilst I CCA them.

 

 

Also, if they dont have the correct paperwork,

even with a judgement in default,

can they enforce anything.

This is all so confusing.

 

 

hen I can get my head clear with my route forward,

 

 

I will stop bombarding you guys with questions.

 

 

Like I said previously,

 

 

I really appreciate your help.

Judgemnt supersedes the agreement...so no you cant CCA this debt and there is nothing to stop them executing it...except for you arranging payment plans.
