    • 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.

Just wanted to post

that I received a "special offer" from cabot saying any payment I make on Black Friday they will triple it to reduce balance i.e. I pay £100 they reduce balance by £300. It's an old unsecured credit card last paid in 2012 which defaulted on credit report in 2013.

 

Thought this info may be useful to anyone currently negotiating with them that did not get this offer

They make that offer because the debt they are chasing is a lemon debt and unenforceable. Do not accept it as it is a trick to extort money from you.

 

its not different to the normal stupid discount offers you will get. Except this is worded differently to make you think theyre doing you a favour.

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..

hoping this letter has attached correctly.

 

I previously sent a letter requesting original agreement which they sent me.

that was 2012 when it was last paid.

I have not communicated since.

 

 

Was going to take them up on the offer as im not sure why it would be unenforcable unless they are unsure this is my address to serve court papers?

When did you request the CCA. WHo told you it was enforceable? The letter is no different that a discount letter. And a discount letter from cabot means its 100% unenforceable

I requested it from original lender in 2012 when i was made redundant and in a bit of a financial mess, they sent me a copy of my signature on the credit agreement.

I ignored them since..

 

Im now back on track with work and all priority bills, I have had 2 court summonds this year from other unsecured crediters and managed to settle 1 at a lesser amount and the other i have applied for a time to pay based on my income/outgoings..

 

I was worried about this one because of the amount outstanding. I wanted to show the letter incase other people who are currently in arrangement with Cabot that didnt get one they could mention it to them to try get a further reduction.

When was the original agreement taken out, it must be as near as dammit unenforceable if Cabot has the debt, the "discount" is a strong indicator in that direction.

We could do with some help from you.

it was taken out around 2003/2004 was paid regular until lost my job in 2012.

 

I have been receiving discount offers from many debt collection agencies regarding other debts lately ranging from 20-40% off. The Cabot one is my largest debt.

 

I wondered if these companies are offering and sending to the last known address they have for me because they are unsure or my whereabouts (I am no longer on the electrol roll as I got married and my name changed)

 

Im keen to sort all my finances out now im getting back on track.

CCA to each one me thinks?

 

you really need to ensure your creditors know your correct name/address!!

else you open yourself up to backdoor CCJ's even if the debt is statute barred or not enforceable

 

the days of doing the old hiding act are long gone

question your logic on paying them off too

simply resets the sb date and if theres not already a default marked

opens your up to being chased on the rest of the debt no matter what their letters say.

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...

A debt that old, theyd need the original cca and t&c's in full. Cabot wont be able to get that.

 

Youre getting discount letters because theyre bluffing you into paying> Discount letters 99.9999999999% of the time means the debt is a lemon debt and they KNOW they can never get any money from you.

There's so much evidence just from your info here that the debt is unenforceable.

 

That's why they're passing the debt around to multiple dca's. They're saying to each other.... here's a possible mug that might cough up. Try your luck.

 

And yes that's what they think. They're not professional or reputable companies at all. They buy debts for pennies in the pound and resort to any level to try and get the full amount from you even when they are not legally entitled to it

You have to admire their gumption though ....... if it is SB'd, then they are getting "something for nothing" if someone responds as they wouldn't otherwise be able to enforce a penny.

 

If a debt isn't SB'd, they are getting a reset of the SB clock by getting a payment, and since they'll have paid pennies in the pound, they are still making a profit if they get the whole thing paid off at the 33% rate, and if the whole sum isn't paid off, anything not paid off isn't SB'd for a further 6 years, and they would claim it 100%...

 

As ever, "If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn't true!"

oh yeah, by accepting their wonderful offer the 6 years would restart and they would either sell on or start demanding the full amount with menaces!!! mine was statute barred back in 1998!!! havent heard from them since 98 and now today!!! you have to admire their persistence and their downright underhand methods!!!

Once it is SB'd, it can't become un-SB'd, even by a payment.

 

However, if SB'd : why pay anything to a lowlife DCA?

If you weren't in a position to pay an original creditor, and the OC had behaved honourably, and you then feel a moral obligation to pay a SB'd debt if your circumstances have improved sufficiently, pay the OC!

If the OC has sold it on to a DCA : where is the moral onligation?.

  • 1 month later...

Will Cabots Know its a 'lemon' debt ? how do they know and when do they determine this, Say I was the Cabot boss and have just purchased a load of lemons which lowell sold me cos they cant collect on, or are unenforceable. When do I tell my staff...OK these are worth a try, lets see what we can get from these halfwits, whatever you get then you can have half the amount for commission. Is that how it all works ?

 

If this is the case of a 'Lemon' then why do they offer a discount then advise you they have passed the 'lemon' to their solicitors, Mortimer Clarke whom I believe sit at the opposite desk.

 

Looking forward to the answers to my question to help me understand this scenario.

 

Thank you

They know very well when a debt is enforceable or not. However, they have total disregard for regulation or guidance. ALl dca's do. THey j ust want the money, no matter how they get it.

 

Why do you think they offer 50% or even 90% discounts. They know. They dont care. They want money.
