    • 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 all,

 

Really looking for some help with some recent and out of the blue letters from Cabot Financial.

 

In the last week I have received letters about 2 debts, I will cover both separately.

 

Next Retail - Retail credit - £1200

 

I received a letter late last week or early this week dated 27th June, telling me I owed them money and to call them etc. I then received another letter today dated 4th July - basically saying they had decided they were going to take court action against me and seek a sheriffs court decree for the debt. Help what should/can I do.

 

I haven't had any correspondence about these debts for years - I know they do not appear on my credit file with any of the agencies, I have checked all online recently, I cannot remember making any payments to them.

 

Vanquis - £750

 

I also received a letter dated 1st July saying I owed them money from a Vanquis credit card, again similar to the above I have not had any correspondence from the for years and don't recall making any payments to them. However I am now worried I will have another letter in it's way shortly similar to the decree one above.

 

I am currently unemployed after being made redundant and am only on job seekers and housing benefit, my wife works but is not on a significant income. These debts can from a 1st marriage which ended badly and I was left with all the debt, including a joint bank account overdraft, we also have a young child and really cannot afford to pay out anything more than we are already doing.

 

Over the years I have managed to get my credit sorted out and have been rebuilding and a lot of my defaults will be dropping off my file in the next 12 months or so, I am now worried that if they take action I will be screwed again for another 6 years and it will seriously impede me getting another job as my background is in the financial services sector and these all carry out credit checks etc.

 

Please can someone guide me on the correct steps to take and the quickest way to stop them taking any court action against me?

 

Regards

No youll be fine.

 

Why not send 2 x CCA requests?

If you are in Scotland which I think you are then if no payments for 5 years etc then the debt is extinguished.

 

We could do with some help from you.

Hi fko,

 

Firstly thanks for the quick response, and I do hope so.

 

I am not sure if or when any payments were made to these accounts, it is all a bit of a blur and I can't remember who or what I paid when this all happened, how can I find this out as it is no longer showing on my credit file - do I need to submit a SAR to get the detailed info on any payments made to the accounts or will the CCA likely get me that info?

 

Also I live in Scotland now, however the original debts were incurred in England - is it where you live that applies regarding the time elapsed at the time they come calling for the debt?

 

On the CCA, are the templates in the template section still valid as looks like they are from 2006? Just want to make sure I use the correct one, which I think is letter N in that section of the site?

 

Thanks again

Just a quick update, I found a more up to date link for a CCA letter template from another post of yours on a different topic.

 

Have sent both CCA's, 1st class recorded, just now with £1 PO, left it all blank, apart from writing on back that it was only for the statutory fee.

 

Will update when I hear back from them

 

Thanks

When was the last time you made payments to these debts, and made speific written acknowledgement that they were yours.

 

If it was more than 5 years ago, then the debt is gone. No need for CCA or communications. The debt doesnt exist. Cabot know this, and 99% of their debts are unenforceable. They just threaten you hoping you dont realise it.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

 

 

If my advice helps you, click the star icon at the bottom of my post and feel free to say thanks

Hi Renegade,

 

I have just realised my bank lets me download 7 years worth of transactions, so I have just gone all the way back through to try and work out.

 

From what I can see I was making DD payments to the Vanquis debt with them (based on reference numbers I have)and the last payment I made to them being on 01/12/10 - I have not spoken with or paid them anything since then as far as I am aware.

 

Am I therefore screwed with this one given I have just sent them a CCA request?

I will be gutted it so as I guess I could have chanced my arm for another couple of months and it would have been wiped?

 

In regards to the Next debt they are chasing me for

- I cannot see any reference to this one at all,

certainly not with Cabot

- I was paying another account by DD with Cabot but it is a different reference number,

so I assume for a different debt, unless they have reassigned the number.

 

 

There were other DCA's I was paying though and so I am not sure if the Next debt could have maybe been with one

and then they sent it back to Next who have then reassigned it back out.

 

I have sent the CCA off now for this one as well, so will they likely send me any statements etc

so I can work it out for the Next one?

or will I need to submit a SAR to both Cabot and maybe Next to try and work that out?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Regards

Bingo

 

Hi dx,

 

Thanks for clarifying on the 5/6 years rule, so at least I now know it is 6 as I took the debt out in England.

 

I will scan the letters now and remove my personal info and upload them so you can review, how do I upload them to the site once they are ready?

Nope. If it was until 2010 then youd still have a year to wait as the debt wastaken out in england. A CCA request is the way to go, as cabot rarely ever have the right paperwork, and even if they do, you can SAR the OC as your debts will be littered with reclaimable charges.

Any advice i give is my own and is based solely on personal experience. If in any doubt about a situation , please contact a certified legal representative or debt counsellor..

Thanks again Renegade,

 

CCA's are away so I will wait to see what they say and post back what they send.

 

dx,

 

I think this should be the letters uploaded for you as requested, I wasn't overly bothered about the Vanquis one as fairly tame, it was the Next one where they say they are going to next stage which worried me, as I am just about to come out the other side of all this and then these beggars come along and threaten to put me back to square one.

 

Any further guidance fully welcomed.

letters merged and properly redacted 4mb per page is rather large

tip don't use a PDF prog to hide text

it can be removed

redact as a jpg under a pix prog then pdf things.

 

 

anyway

 

 

the 3rd letter which I assume is the vanquis card , that's a discount letter

SAR to vanquis to findout how much is made of charges or ROP/PPI

which are both reclaimable at thier int rate.

 

 

not sure on the next letters

the first one does read 'nasty' but it a new 2015 format

so need to get my English dict out to decipher it

 

 

what is the bal to next?

Thanks for sorting the pdf's, appreciate you doing that and I will heed your advice for any future docs I upload.

 

Yes Next is for just under £1200 and as you say costs wouldn't exactly be cheap to take me to court over it, especially given I'm on benefits and don't have eff all to give them anyway.

 

I will send a SAR to Vanquis to get all the data they hold on me and will post back when I get it through for that one.

 

Now that I have sent CCA, does that buy me a bit more time before they can formally instruct sheriff proceedings on the Next one?

 

 

They are so underhand

the letter is dated 4th July and they gave 7 days but looking at the print on the vertical right hand side,

clearly shows the letter wasn't even printed and therefore sent until 07th July

and it didn't arrive with me until today,

so they are not even really giving anyone the stated timeframe.

 

Thanks again

that's one of the reasons I'm thinking it a cleverly worded threat-o-gram.

 

 

more later or tomorrow.

 

 

although court 'could ' happen its certainly not a quick process for them

and you'll prob get willy waving from Nolans first and then walker love next

before they file a form 1a.

 

 

pers the CCA could well head them off . but, if it was online

they could use a recon.

Its Marlin, will probably go through the wonderful people at mortimer clarke.... Scary bunch they are... Oh wait :lol: No they arent.

It is a well worded threatogram. "If a decree is awarded" & "We will proceed with the above action if we dont hear from you"

 

Wait until you receive it or send them a CCA request like I said.

Quick update regarding the Next debt, I have received a reply to my CCA request stating: 'We confirm that we have requested a Statement of Account and Copy of the Agreement from the Original Creditor and we will forward this to you upon receipt'

 

My account is on hold while they do this. So looks like the letter about seeking a decree was just a threat-o-gram, as to actually carry it out, wouldn't they need to have proof the debt was enforceable etc?

 

Nothing yet re the CCA request for the Vanquis one, will post back when I get their reply to this one, although I'm assuming it will be

No they only ever send out empty threats to exploit the debtors lack of knowledge, and get them to react exactly like you have.

Make contact and immediately go on the defence.

 

Now they know they have you worried they will threaten and exploit you more.

Who ever heard of someone getting a job at the Jobcentre? The unemployed are sent there as penance for their sins, not to help them find work!

I have received further correspondence from Cabot.

 

In relation to the Vanquis debt

- I received a letter saying they acknowledged my CCA request and the 12 day time limit,

but they are unlikely to have in this time but expect to have something within 40 days.

What should I do if they haven't supplied the information by the 31st July (12+2),

is there another letter I need to issue to them and does them stating it will take 40 days have any bearing?

 

Back onto the Next debt now and

I received their letter about the CCA, that was dated the 15th July,

however a few days later I received another letter from them, dated 13th July, which stated:

 

"Your Fidelity Credit Management (Scotcall) account has been returned to us

 

Your account was passed to Fidelity Credit Management (Scotcall) to recover the balance owed.

It has now been returned to us and any future payments should be made directly to us."

 

It the goes on about getting in touch to arrange a payment plan etc.

 

I just don't get this letter,

I never had any confirmation it had been passed to Scotcall in the first place

and all the recent correspondence had been from Cabot, so not sure what this is all about.

 

The other interesting thing is that the reference number quoted has changed on this letter,

and when looking back through my bank transactions I can see it corresponds to some transactions with the last one being 1st December 2010,

same time I stopped paying the Vanquis one.

 

 

The letter template has also changed from being Cabot Financial (Marlin) to Cabot Financial (Europe),

again not sure if this means anything?

 

 

Does this have any material impact on my CCA request?

 

Any thoughts guidance appreciated.

I haven't paid anything to either of these since 01/12/2010, so all ok on that front.

 

 

I will do as you say and wait until such time as they can produce an enforceable agreement.

 

 

The default for both has been and gone, so they cannot do any more harm to my credit file,

unless they manage to find an EA, which I am guessing is highly unlikely,

as if it existed they would have already taken me to court.

 

I'll post back when I hear anything else from them.
