    • 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.

I not sure where to begin with this .

 

On the 1/8/17 i recieved a letter off dwp debt management stating i had over payments of 2099.89 when i questioned dwp what these over payments were they said" they were unsure but thought t was tax credits and universal credits and they just wanted a repayment agreement "

 

I explained i only work p/t and i was on my own with debts my ex partner abandoned me with and that i had a dmp with stepchange. they asked of proof of this along with a expediture sheet .which i sent them registered post. i then recieved a letter on the 23/08/17 they were instructing my employer with a DEA .

 

In my job policy and procdures it states that aoe or any deductions will result in disiplinary action i explained this to them but they choose to ignore me did not offer a alternative arrangement nor have i recieved any information on this alleged over payment . i sent a letter of complaint and asked for a sar to which i have had no replies.

 

inbetween all this i had applied for another postion at my place of work (local hospice) and was interviewed for it yesterday and at 17.05 i recieved a call to say i was not accepted for the position and my contract for my job i do at the minute will not be renewed due to dwps dea so now at the end of september i will be unemployed .

 

is there anything i can do to make dwp accountable for me losing my job. the reason given was i was a finacial risk working with vulnerable people.

pop off to the DWP website and fill in their free subject access request

put them to strict proof to prove what they claim you owe.

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...

Ok something I don't understand . In your case they have gone from 0-100 in 2 seconds, it doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Straight from writing to you to an AOE in 3 weeks ?!!!

 

Firstly you have a right to appeal this decision within 30 days. Looks like they haven't paid any attention to that.

 

Also please look at the Tax Credit office 'COP 26', https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tax-credits-what-happens-if-youve-been-paid-too-much-cop26

 

. Special interest to you is on page 16. If your partner has left you, you , you will not have to pay back more than half. That is their own code of practice ! Ohh and once I'd received the SAR data, there were holes in it wide enough to fly a plane through!

 

If it makes you feel better I got them to shove their £12k overpayment where the sun doesn't shine.

 

Sorry to say, I'm not very impressed with your employer either!

 

Regards

 

Jonathan

It's also good to know that none of this will affect your credit rating!

 

Also if you now made a claim for Tax Credits and were entitled to even just a fiver a week they would stop chasing you and start deducting from your award. That's how utterly broken the system is!

 

Might be worth considering as a quick way to get them off your back!

thank-you again

 

 

i wouldnt be able to make a claim as i out of a job at the end of the month

unless i can find a new one quickly and one that doesnt have the disciplinary policies For DEA/AOE

 

 

i have been reading what you sent before and started the dispute process as they advise,

 

 

what worries me is if i get a new position and they come after me again and i lose another job .

 

 

they have effectively made me a nervous wreck , but thank-you very much for your help

Or your other way of stopping them is working in a self employed position, they will not be able to / are not allowed by law to deduct anything from your income. You would also be in a position of being able to make a claim also!

hi quick update on my dilemma

 

i sent the disupte letters off as advised ,

the article said that whilst i was disputing these over payments that the DEA/AOE would not be enforced.

 

i looked at my payslip today and the recoveries have taken money for the DEA/AOE is this legal .

 

i havent heard from hmrc/universal credits since i sent the dispute letters which were recorded delivery so i none the wiser .

they may have taken out of my final wage but they wont be able to take anymore as i no job now .

They really have cut off their nose here to spite their face

 

This is an utterly broken system, no one informed you of your rights to dispute which would have stopped you losing your job in the first place. Now someone doing an incredibly important role in society is out of a job. Good stuff DWP!!!

 

What can you do about this?

 

1. Can you work as self employed? If you register as self employed, you will possibly be entitled to Tax Credits, they will then be off your back. In that situation they will be unable to take money from your income as this is illegal. Also they will begin taking what you owe off your payments. They only need to take a certain percentage so you will still receive money.

 

2. How long were you working with your previous employer, more than 2 yrs? then you have certain rights!

 

3. Simply apply for another job, it's going to be a while before they come to any decision and there will be no deductions made until then, if ever.

To forewarn you the SAR will be hundreds of pages long. First place I looked was the phone call section, and the notes made by the call centre operative. Within about 5 minutes I had found that a call they claimed had happened giving an income declaration , never took place. Not only that they inflated my salary by £6000.

 

Did you inform them that your ex partner left? If you did there should be evidence on the SAR. Right there you would have cut what you owe in half! Even if you didn't they need to be chasing him for half of this overpayment!

i spoke with my mp today

he was bewildered by it all

especially the speed they acted upon

 

he agrees that they have not followed their own policies and procedures nor given me the right to see the alleged debts ect

 

he was more than happy to fight my corner with me .

 

all i can do now is wait for him to get on to them and wait for his reply which should be in the next 2 wks ,

Ok, that sounds excellent, but don't forget to keep your own appeal going too, and don't be afraid to follow up with your MP if nothing heard in the next 2 weeks

found a snippet of information off a web page not sure it will help but i going to give it a whirl in another letter ,

 

its from the dwp training manual for the use of a DEA it states (bit long winded )..

 

it is important that having established contact with the debtor

a relationship is maintained with them (well i got 3 letters and a DEA )

 

it is a key intention of the pilot of the advisor to negotiate & agree a sustainable mutual acceptance voluntary installment plan with the debtor (that were never done )

 

the DEA or threat to use a DEA should be introduced where repayment can not be agreed or where a debtor refuses to pay

 

(i never refused i only asked what when & where these overpayments came from sent them what the asked for )

 

wish id seen this as it shows they are in breech
