    • 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.

Hello there.

 

My partner received a letter this morning titled "Claim Form" in the top left corner.

 

It is regarding a debt from the mobile phone company Three.

 

The debt we think was roughly 2-4 year ago but we can not be sure.

 

We recognise this debt ourselves but at the time could not afford to pay it and buried our heads and ignored letters from them.(not proud of it)

 

We were out of our jobs and had 4 children so paying off the debt was a difficult job.

 

In hindsight we should of contacted them and told them about the situation but sadly we never.

 

The debt was never an huge amount, the letter states £326.69 initially then goes on to add some further charges.

 

Personally the letter just looks like a photocopied piece as the stamp from the county court doesn't look right.

However there is a claim no at the top so unsure

.

I can upload a image and remove the sensitive information if that is any use.

 

We are unsure about how to go about the debt in terms of repaying it, who to pay, do we challenge the debt or any other options?

 

Myself and my partner are potentially going to open a new business within the next few months

and imagine if we let this escalate it will cause damage to this?

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

 

The letter was received yesterday.

 

Thank you

Name of the Claimant ? Lowell Portfolio 1 LTD

 

Date of issue –. 01 January 2016

 

What is the claim for –

 

1.The claimants claim is for the sum of £326.69 being monies due from the defendant to the claimant under a non-regulated communications agreement

between the defendant and Hutchinson 3G UK Limited under account reference xxxxxxxxxx

and assigned to the claimant on 23/12/2014 notice of which has been given to the defendant.

 

2.The defendant failed to maintain the contractual payment under the terms of the agreement and a default notice has been served and not complied with.

 

3.The claim also includes statutory interest pursuant to section 69 of the county courts act 1984 at a rate of 8.00% per annum

(a daily rate of £0.07 from the date if the assignment of the agreement to 23/12/2015 being an amount of £25.62.

 

What is the value of the claim? £437.31

Is the claim for a current account (Overdraft) or credit/loan account or mobile phone account? Mobile phone account

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

 

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. lowells

 

Were you aware the account had been assigned – did you receive a Notice of Assignment?

We had received a few standard debt letters from Lowell regarding the debt but as stated kind of buried our heads regarding them.

 

Did you receive a Default Notice from the original creditor? Three had originally sent out some letters

but with it being a while ago that it was with Three I am not sure when and how many

 

Have you been receiving statutory notices headed “Notice of Default sums” – at least once a year ? Quite possibly but can not guarantee.

 

Why did you cease payments? Back in 2014 we couldn't pay 3 the amounts anymore and it just tallied up.

 

What was the date of your last payment? Could not tell you sorry

 

Was there a dispute with the original creditor that remains unresolved? No we just ceased payments when we struggled to afford them.

Did you communicate any financial problems to the original creditor

and make any attempt to enter into a debt managementicon plan?

As far as I was aware I called 3 up and made them aware of the situation regards struggling to pay.

They could not help me out in regards to that as we were still tied into the contract

 

Are these details enough? I can even upload a image of the form if needs be too.

Possibly so yes. However I would need the repayments to be as low as possible if that was the case

Well you have few options .......

 

Given the point you make in your initial post with regards to opening a new business within the next few months ...the last thing you want will be CCJ for for the sake of £400.

 

You can approach the claimants solicitor and suggest a Tomlin Order...this is a consent that stays the claim subject to you sticking to the agreed payments.....no CCJ.

 

Or you can defend the full claim...on the pretense that they will not proceed to full trial for the amount involved...and this will also allow extra time to consider your options.

 

You have 33 days in total to deal with this if defending in full...19 days to acknowledge service of claim (day 1 is the date on the claim form) and if defending in full a further 14 days to submit your defence...all this can be done on line using the MCOL gov web service.

 

If you partially admit or admit the claim you will get a CCJ automatically with no room to mediate or given chance to make a payment arrangement.

 

They are your options.

Hi Andy, I have a few questions to ask. Is it possible to question the amount in question as we can not be too sure how accurate it actually is?

 

When you say defend the full claim, what does that involve?

 

The Tomlin order, if I was to phone would it be mandatory for them to accept a payment plan or can they refuse this?

 

Finally the actual claim letter, is it a legitimate document or is it likely to be a copy using it as a scare tactic?

 

Thanks for all the help so far

Hi Andy, I have a few questions to ask. Is it possible to question the amount in question as we can not be too sure how accurate it actually is?

 

Yes and that becomes a reason for defending

 

When you say defend the full claim, what does that involve? When you receive a court claim you have 3 options through the court.....Admit...Partially admit or Defend in full...take a read of other threads on how the process unfolds

 

The Tomlin order, if I was to phone would it be mandatory for them to accept a payment plan or can they refuse this? They can refuse.... they can refuse a monthly and insist on full payment...negotiation is the key to getting a good Consent Order

 

Finally the actual claim letter, is it a legitimate document or is it likely to be a copy using it as a scare tactic? I would not think they would risk using a false one....they would face the wrath of the Court...ring Northampton and check the claim number if you have your suspicions

 

Thanks for all the help so far

I shall have a better look tomorrow but other than lack of documentation is there anything else, for my case?

 

Can I ask if I was to defend and failed/lost do I get a ccj?

 

Also today I received a letter from bwlegal, NOTICE OF COUNTY COURT CLAIM ISSUED.

 

It states in the what you need to know section that I can call them and sey uo a affordable repayment arrangement.

If you lose, youll get a ccj. However if you pay within 28 days after judement it wont be recorded. But if you lose, you can also pay at rate you can afford and is determined by the court, and theres nothing lowells can do.

OK so if I lose we still get the option to pay in installments, court deciding how much? Just making sure I have that right.

 

After readibg a lot of the forums it does seem that a lot of people are successful when defending these claims but from our case it doesn't look like I have a lot of defence apart from hoping they don't have the evidence. Do you see any other potential ways to use for the defence, should we go with it?

Or like you said taking the Tomlin order would avoid this.

 

I can't think of a defence so thinking it would be a better idea.

 

Would you persoanlly suggest defend or Tomlin order?

Oh so I have to initially defend it before requesting a Tomlin order?

 

It adds leverage...but you can still approach them with a payment plan if not defending...but be quick as you then only have 19 days from the date of the summons.

Apologies for the late response, had internet problems.

 

 

I have logged on tonight and clicked defend all

but have not started putting anything in the defence section as of yet as I am not 100% sure what I need to put in.

 

Do I need to check the Acknowledgement of Service section while I am there too?
