    • 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.

If a debtor received a letter from the EA ASKING to pay with 7 days or they will recommend that the creditor takes other legal action against you. Does this mean

 

A. They are giving up trying to enforce?

B. They will return the debt to the OC

C. Do the fees (both) come off?

 

This is just a general question for no particular debt or reason it's just a question that is all....

 

Finally if the debt goes back to the OC can you then make an arrangement to pay with the OC without the compliance and enforcement fees attached (£75 + £235) which brings the debt total down by £310?

 

Or does the £75 fee stay payable? There are no figures involved or any name of an EA's company, it's so that I clearly understand this letter and what the consequences are of it! Why because I've just seen my 1st one and looking purely to understand.

If I have been of any help, please click on my star and leave a note to let me know, thank you.

It would seem from what you are saying that the letter that has been received is not a statutory notice (in other words, is not a Notice of Enforcement). It is likely to be an 'advisory' note that has been left at a debtors premises to advise that a visit has taken place and that if the amount stated is not paid that the creditor can take other 'legal action'.

 

The wording on these 'advisory notices' range from company to company. If such a notice has been left, it does not infer that the enforcement company are looking to give up on enforcing the debt. In most cases, the enforcement company will not look at returning any debts before a period of approx 3-4 months.

 

If an enforcement company are satisfied that they cannot obtain payment or 'take control' of the debtors goods, then they may voluntarily return the account back to the local authority.

 

If the enforcement company return the account, then the power to enforce the warrant/liability order ceases and accordingly, all bailiff fees are removed.

 

The difficulty with trying to make a payment proposal direct with the council is that in most cases, the debtor is unaware that the account has been returned. Instead, what normally happens is that if a debt is returned by enforcement company 'A', the local authority would merely start the procedure again by referring the account to enforcement company 'B'. The debtor would then receive a Notice of Enforcement (from enforcement company 'B') and a compliance fee of £75 will be applied.

It is other I'm hovering in the background and have said check to see if/when it's been returned to OC then quickly make an arrangement to pay directly and before its sent out again for enforcement.

 

It's mostly about the contents of the letter rather than the debt. As this debt is easy to dealt with once back with the OC.

This is what the letter says: redacted is in (brackets)

 

You have failed to the above (debt) in full, the next stage in the enforcement procedure is to formally report this to the (OC). At this time we are recommending that they take further legal action against you in accordance with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), which will result in you occurring further costs and may also affect your future access to credit,

 

 

To avoid this course of action we are providing you with a final opportunity to pay the outstanding amount in full. You must respond to this notice within 7 days of this letter.

If you FAIL TO PAY THE FULL AMOUNT IN 7 DAYS from the date of this letter, you will be liable for any costs incurred for legal recovery of the outstanding amount.

 

 

It then goes on to say how you can pay and they have added a payment slip at the bottom. I have also added the bold in exactly the same places as they have.

 

 

 

 

Question:

 

I have also added bold, italics and underline and in blue on one point that I require information about as well. I already know that you do not have to speak to an EA or communicate with them, so why have they made this point if not required to do either. (a last threatogram?)

 

 

This is so that I may learn what can and cant be said/done for future use....

This 'letter' suggests the debt is a civil action and as such, it is difficult to comment without knowing the background.

Yes it is a letter from a debt collector, nothing to do with bailiffs , it is in the wrong section.

 

The CPR mentioned will be the letter before action protocol.

I have spoken to the debtor and been told I can now say this is about a PCN. Si it was in the correct forum to start with but wherever is fine with me.

 

 

The wording on the letter is accurate. I was asking what I did because of the conflicting information on the letter as well. (CPR)

NO DB it is not a DCA at all it IS however a BAILIFF end of. Again you seem to have flamed the thread for no reason, partly my fault but as a 3rd party I can only give the information I am allowed to,

 

 

Now I can discuss this at a better level::

This has been made difficult by the person that gave me this letter and I have spoken to them to allow me to post so here is the redacted letter for all to see.

 

 

Debtors name removed

EA company removed

 

 

Everything else is there for all to see.

 

Once again sorry for being short with you all! (PS: I hate this injury as it plays with my abilities) The hot weather plays havoc with my mind so I apologise if I am slightly short today, I have cooled down with ice cold drinks which help my poor brain. As the weather gets hotter it affects me more.

 

 

As you can now see why this letter is different to those I have already seen. I do not normally get this far with an EA. So this is a learning curve hence the reason of my thread. As you can see in the 1st paragraph the CPR is mentioned..

 

Would those following now please look at at this redacted PDF Thanks. Sorry to all but I am not always perfect at times due to sudden changes that affect me without my knowing. This I am working on with a little help...

This is a notice to owner Mm, no proceedings have yet been taken, so there are no bailiffs involved yet.

Bailiffs only become involved after the notice has been registered at the TEC and the payment period has passed.

That is when the authority gets permission from the TEC to issue a warrant.

Yes me niether. Ther was a spate a while back of parking companies sending similar demands out in order to kid the addressee into thinking it was an authority penalty charge rather than the less enforcesble parking variety.

In fact, DX it is a very common document indeed and is sent by a bailiff company. My personal opinion is that the thread should be in the bailiff discussion area of the forum.

I have contacted the OC (Parking company (PC)) just now, they said the debt was sent to the EA on 16/07/2015 if this makes any difference at all? The offence date was the 17/01/2015...

 

 

So from my understanding the warrant has just two months left. Or. IS this the date the case went to the TEC. (more learning) So far there has been 3 visits by the EA no entry gained, just notices/letters left that have been ignored or no one home.

 

 

Several calls from the EA to the debtor during the time the EA has had this debt..

 

 

 

 

No enforcement action has been done except the visits. Most of my questions have been with the debtor and PC which have been dealt with as and when they occurred easily dealt with.

 

 

But this is the 1st time I've seen this notice anyways.. Does this extra info help at all?
