    • 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...
    • I would say You should accept it - I HIGHLY doubt you will  be able to claim for letters at trial ans they’re offering you that, which is higher monetary value than interest.   Also they raise a good point, getting interest at anything above 4% is lucky these days, yes judges give it, but rarily above 4%   Also you might find depending on the judge  you don’t get some costs if you take it all the way over £7.40 when court woukdnt award letters costs and thus meaning their award would be less than evris offer which was made    Up to you though but the wait will be 3-4mo for a trial date at least

    • 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,

just wondered how to go about claiming PPI refunds on a couple of loans which have now been redeemed. my main one is a loan which I took out with Blemain Finance less than a year before redeeming it (after a heck of a battle for a figure). Anyway, I contacted Blemain regarding the PPI and was told to contact Premier Writers in cleckheaton for a refund. Now the PPI was for £2200 ish paid up front on the loan at the start, the loan was taken out in April 2006 and redeemed fully with the PPI figure added to the redemption figure 'pay the whole amount or we will not release the charge' was the last words spoken to both myself AND my solicitor, (remortgage needed to complete). I have since been advised by Premier Writers that I will receive a refund of less than 50% I was hoping very much to recieve at least 65% or more as the loan itself did not run for 12 months out of a 20 year loan time!

Is there any specific calculations that tha FSA would use as I would like to get some more if not the whole amount of the PPI back with interest, as Blemain are NOT the most helpful or friendliest of inhumane beings I would like to speak to.

I would apreciate as much help as possible as I have also had loans with Black Horse, which I am trying to get funds back from 2 different figures received on a redeemed loan and with Welcome etc.

cheers for that Ian,

i'll have a good look at it later.

in a nutshell, loan for £14.5k taken in april 2006, £2200 ish for PPI added, redemption figure paid £19150ish or no release of charge. Paid for obvious reasons.

Contacted Premier Writers for refund, told to wait approx 21 working days, chased up early this week, due refund (ish) soon NO figure given when questioned regarding approx amount and played subtle guess the refund figure was told will be below 50%, will hopefully get whatever refund, bank it but not accept as final offer, any advice as to what to write as the templates are requesting as if no refund offered. Sorry to be a pain, but the banks charges side of things I sort of am ahead with, but this is a bit different.

Regards

Chris

Hello Chris,

 

read your post with interest. I find it hard to believe that you only paid 2200ish ppi on a 14,000 loan. Have you calculated how much interest from the ppi you paid.

 

Have you received a breakdown of the loan, interest, ppi, interest and erpc charges. Did you get a S.A.R - (Subject Access Request)?

 

I am sure that I have read something on the site about the erpc and ppi refunds.

 

Maybe dicuss you situation with the fsa and maybe they can advise as to the new legislation that has just been released earlier in the year.

As for reclaiming but mis-sold ppi, it is basically the same process as reclaiming back penalty charges from the bank, although they do fight back harder:-x

Hi Sandbro,

No I havent calculated any interest I may have paid due to it being less than 12 months old, I did'nt receive a breakdown of the loan apart from the redemption figure which had a loan value, less any rebate due plus any charges I had acrued since having the loan. I had to ask why the loan I took out was almost £5k more on the redemption than on the application at which Blemain stated there was the PPI @ £2200ish and some other things (Which I intend to claim back when the dust as settled). But my main gripe is that when I took the loan out through Promise Finance (don't go there, desperate times mean desperate measures I KNOW!!!!) the NICE gentleman explained that should I redeem the loan before its end date (20 years) then I would only have to pay 1 months interest above the loan value £14.5k as I was aware of new regulations which had come into force through the FSA. Somebody lied there did'nt they, Promise huh, promises broken if you ask me.

Anyway sorry for drifting, back to answering your other questions, no I have'nt sent an SAR as I need to claw whatever back 1st before persuing for more, and I will send an SAR later, just not yet as I could do with the financial bit 1st. as for erpc? I don't know what that is ( I'm still learning the short texts of things) I will get back to you with a breakdown from Blemain on the redemption figure I have recieved from my solicitor whom I must admit was extremely helpful during the redemption fight, beleive you and me we both received verbal earbashings from the company with the threat to them not releasing the charge if I did not settle the full amount AND I was even told they would go for reposession of the property, but that is another twist in the tail, just glad to be rid although I don'nt think this is over by a long chalk!!!

This was supposed to be a quick reply, but I'm now on a couple of missions.

I'm already taking on Abbey (LBA sent 4/5/07)), Nationwide & Yorks Bank (SAR's sent 27/4/07) and to top that I also wish to persue Welcome, Black horse (2 loans) Leeds & Holebeck BS (mortgage) and GMAC (Mortgage) for charges All redeemed.

So I'm gonna be extremley busy over the next few months, just waiting 1 tel call from Black Horse regarding different figures on default notice and redeemed loan within 6 days of default, had I paid the default notice I would have been naearly £800 better off, and because Black Horse KNEW I was about to settle the loan the redemption figure was different. by nearly £800, I have requested the difference or atleast a very reasonable offer otherwise I will go for the SAR and persue them in a similar manner as I am persuing the banks, we will have to wait and see.

I keep looking at the forums and find there are a heck of a lot more victories going on than losses I just hope I am not the 1st to change the trend.

keep you posted

regards

Hi Chrisking..it was inevitable that Blemain would show their face again. Ive been trying to tackle them for a year and got nowhere fast. Their calculations are un lawfull and how they behave is a disgrace. Keep us updated with how you progress, there's a few of us here wanting our money back. How much was the interest charged on your loans?

hi dax,

got my reply fromthe company who supplied the PPI (Premier Writers) and when I was progressing the refund was informed by them that they (PREMIER WRITERS) would be forwrding the rebate direct to myself when they had done all the calculations. Got another letter beginning of this week saying that they had worked out the rebate due (which was just over 25%) and that this had been forwrded to Blemain who would then forwrd the cheque on to me which will now delay my cheque for banking by atleast another 10 days as this is the usual tactic they have when paying out. I wonder if I can charge them the typical £117.50 for the default/late payment charge and the £30 telephone charge to chase up the cheque/monies I was owed as they would charge me these if I sent my payment later than the due date as they have charged in the past!!!!

As for the interest I couldnt tell you as the redemption figure reads this (please bear in mind this was a £14,500.00 loan over 20 yrs + £2210.00 PPI):

amount outstanding under the agreement: £39,031.23.

less rebate calc in accordence to consumer credit early settlement -£21,178.15.

redmeption Admin fee £395.00

Additional Interest £62.51

Collections Costs £822.50

total settlement figure £19,133.09

And that was with a reduction in the collection costs, plus if I did not pay the full amount they would NOT relase the charge.

Well once the cheque owed is banked and cleared I intend to go for them for the SAR and see them in court for the treatment both my solicitor received on the telephone and myself.

wish me luck, because this company is probably the worst loan company I have ever had the misfortune to be associated with.

I don't think I would have got any PPI rebate out of the blue if they had'nt given me the name of the ins company.

chris

Hello Chris,

 

They are terrible and not at all helpful. If they are that bad, they may not co-operate with your SAR and default,

 

Please read this thread, just incase they dont comply

hi hellhasnofury,

I started reading the Germany 2006 thread, but my eyes have gone all blurry and I'm only on page 2 of it. what has really peed me off is the fact that the insurance company told me they would be sending the rebate direct to me NOT Blemain, as far as I am concerned I have finished with my dealings with Blemain, and would like to go for Promise Finance on some sort of claim for misselling of the original loan. How can you stae that 'should you redeem the loan early then the new regulations laid down by the FSA are that the maximum the loan company can charge you for early redemption would be 1 Months interest' in my case a cost of £185.00, so as I see it, £14,500.00 + £185 = £14,685.00 (plus the PPI on top) which still only = £16895.00 NOT £19,133.09.!!!!!!!!!! How the hell do they work that out, and can I claim the misselling of the original loan on the grounds of misguidance/misrepresentation from the salesrep from Promise??? I could do with some legal guidance on this one, as I wouldnt know what FSA section/pargraph/jargon/subsection act, etc to quote regarding making them sit up and take note.

If anybody knows of these things let me know as the Mirror are interested in my progress.

regards

How interesting that the Mirror are interested in your progress. Can we know why and how they are involved. It seems that everyone who has ever had dealings with Blemain finance, are stuck in the same dilemma of 'how did they work it out' and there are a few of us in here with that in common.

 

I personally repaid them £6917.31 on a £5000 loan, £19665.06 on a £15000 loan and £24776.62 on a 19.000 loan, totalling £51412.99 in total repaid in one lump. Anything anyone can find out with this outfit, the better.

 

 

I'm still not sure how you ended up having recourse with an insurance company, am I missing something or just dumb? I mean should we be therefore be chasing the insurance company for the answers instead of Blemain.

Unfair contracts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mortgages – Repayment mortgage

 

 

 

 

 

Blemain Finance Ltd

 

A term in Blemain's repayment mortgage contract said if a customer repaid their mortgage early, the firm would calculate the early repayment charge using a formula known as the 'Rule of 78'.

 

 

 

Why did we think it was unfair?

 

 

 

 

Because it could result in the customer paying a charge much higher than would reasonably compensate the firm for charges lost through early repayment.

 

 

 

What has the firm done?

 

 

 

 

They advised us that consumer mortgage contracts entered into since January 1998 have not contained the term.

 

For mortgages entered into before 1998, Blemain advised us they use both the Rule of 78 and a different method to calculate the charge, with the customer paying the lower of the two.

 

 

 

Other information

 

 

 

 

Blemain provided us with documentation confirming they gave the Office of Fair Trading an informal assurance they would stop using the term in November 1997. This agreement formally adds to that assurance.

 

They also advised us that by 31 December 2005 they had written to all non-commercial customers with contracts containing the term to tell them how they calculated settlement of those mortgages – as described above.

 

If any of Blemain's customers still have concerns about a mortgage contract containing the term they should get in touch with the firm who will be happy to consider the matter further.

 

 

 

Old term

 

 

 

 

The Borrower may at any time repay the whole of the Principal Sum outstanding but in the event that such repayment shall take place prior to the expiration of the Repayment Period whether at the request of the Borrower or following exercise of the Lender's power of sale the Borrower shall pay the total sum of Principal and Interest calculated in accordance with the formula (known as the Rule of 78) an illustration of which is set out in the Schedule hereto. In addition the Lender shall be entitled but not required to add to the resultant figure an amount equal to six months interest or such lesser figure as may be lawfully permitted for such cases as where a variation of the Rate has been made in accordance with Clause 3 hereof and in such cases for the purposes of calculating the said figure in accordance with said formula the rate of interest shall be deemed to be the Rate as if no variation in accordance with Clause 3 hereof had been made.

I'm sooo drained by Blemain, and like you I feel I need legal advise before tackling them in a Court as they are used to loopholes in the law and clearly have no concern for their customers.

this might help chris also from an oldpost of mine:

 

found this already on the forum ......

 

If your secured loan is governed by CCA 1974 then s.95 (1) entitles you to a rebate of charges to credit.

http://www.passprotect.studio400/ .me.uk/Consumer_Credit_Act_1974. PDF

The Consumer Credit (settlement Information) Regulations 1983 requires the creditor to give a statement of amount required to pay off the loan and how this was calculated. The Consumer Credit (Early Settlement) Regulations 2004 (see link below) regulates the calculations and these cannot be contracted out of to the detriment of the consumer (s.173(1) CCA). So an ERC would be classed contracting out of the Regulations to the detriment of the consumer. These Regulations only apply to loan agreements taken out since 31st May 2005:

The Consumer Credit (Early Settlement) Regulations 2004

 

If your loan was pre May 2005 the Consumer Credit (Rebate on Early Settlement) Regulations 1983 apply which contain the rule 78 which provides that creditors can charge upto six months interest on redemption. Anything over the 6 months interest would be regarded as a penalty and unenforceable..

 

However..Blemain Finance gave the Office Of Fair trading assurance in November 1997 that it would no longer use the rule of 78 when redeeming.

I have had a quick look at my loan agreement with them and there is a list of financial bodies that they belong to at the bottom so I will go and look it out and then post the names for you incase this can help in any way.

I am tied to them for another 5 years and have no hope of raising the funds to repay early but am keen to follow your battles and help if i can

wow you lot are running with this, I'm still on my last post and the post from Dax (thanks for the links) especially the bit about "If any of Blemain's customers still have concerns about a mortgage contract containing the term they should get in touch with the firm who will be happy to consider the matter further".

Although this is in the FOS sight, do they really expect Blemain to roll over and give me or you the calculations they have used without us blowing a fuse in our heads as to how it works? and going all googoo?

The way I was spoken to, and my solicitor acting on behalf of my remotgage company from Blemain borders on aggresive bullying tactics and should this have been an employer they would have been hung, drawn and quartered by the tribunal industry!!!!

Anyway I will sit down and have a very good read regarding the germany 2006 thread and the other threads and links regarding the similarities of the loan companies in general and their collective missguidance and harsh tactics they use to push you into the corner like a scared animal then its stand up and fight for your survival (if that's the right terminology).

I'll make my follow up call to blemain tommorrow to ask when they are sending me my rebate from Premier Writers, I'll phone the collections department and ask to be transfered through to the redemption dept, that always gets them thinking!!!!!

tee hee hee.

regards

Chris

Hi Midge,

the loan was less than 12 months old, and was taken out in April 2006, this is what is bugging me about the extra £3k nearly, after the loan was taken out under the impression that early redemption only carried a 1 month interest premium!! as it was stated by Promise Finance.

I will keep you all informed, and to answer the Mirror interest question, I read an article in the Your Money section which covered a story of a Birmingham Midshares customer who managed to reclaim all his charges on his loan after he was hit with charges left right and centre, through illness, So after reading the article it prompted me to go for Blemain and if successful challange all my old accounts regarding mortgages and various loans (both secured and unsecured)I have had with Welcome, Black Horse,First nasty,Leeds & holebeck,and GMAC that I can think of off the top of my head (not much hair left there! LOL) and neadless to say they have asked me to let them know how I progress.

it feels good to have such support from fellow struggelers (spellcheck for that one)

Speak to you soon

regards

chris
