    • 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.

Hi,

 

Have been reading about you all on this site and have finally plucked up the courage to claim back from the Abbey.

I've managed to get all my account information for the last 6 years and worked out they've taken £2800 off me! At the stage of writing a letter to ask for a refund on this. But confused already. I keep reading about Statutory and Contractual interest. I think I've finally got the gist of which is which...and when to claim for it. But a little worried about Contractual interest. Have we got to claim for it? as I keep seeing that the bank wont take us seriously if we don't(won't this make it more difficult to claim though?)....and how do I calculate it?? I have found the spreadsheet on Statutory interest .... but thats it. Can any one help me please?? I don't want to stumble at the first letter.:eek:

Hi sapphireeyes,

 

It took me five attempts to spell your username..........., from now on you're SE!!

 

I've recently written a long post on another thread about this, so give me a minute and I'll find it for you.

 

The single most complex issue on here that confuses everyone more or less is the subject of interest.

 

it goes like this...........There's four types of interest that are discussed but people confuse things by calling them all "interest"

 

1. o/d interest is legitimately charged on authorised o/d's

2 unauthorised o/d interest charged as a result of the charges. If you can strip out this element from the total interest figure on your statements then you can reclaim it.

3. 8% s.69 interest is the interest that the courts allow you to add to your claim. this is the rate at which you charge the interest and can be applied from when the charge was first made on your account. There are spreadies in the A-Z index to do all the hard work for you.

4. CCI..Compound Contractual Interest, which is the most complicated one of all..........basically the banks charge you at their highest interest rate for all unauthorised borrowing. The theory goes that their charges are unauthorised borrowing from your account so you should be allowed to charge them a similar rate for the time they've had your money. the two key words are mutuality and reciprocity. The Banks wil lfight you to a standstill over CCI, so if you wish to go down this route make sure you understand it FULLY..............but then don't do it

 

It's complicated but you did ask:wink:

All advice offered here is my opinion only based on what I would do in a given situation. If you wish to act on it you do so at your own discretion

......................................................

I have no legal expertise or qualification, and give advice on the basis of my own experience and nothing else.

Hi charleyfarley,

 

Many thanks for getting back to me....you're right it is complicated :confused: But is it true that if I dont try and claim contractual interest back that they wont take me seriously??

Hello again,

 

Had a hectic couple of weeks. But finally got around to sending off my prelim letter and break down of charges requesting repayment of £2674.50.

 

I've already recieved a response...the fastest one they've ever sent. From what I have read on here it's just a standard letter saying that they are sorry I am unhappy and will investigate my complaint quickly, but in a timely and satisfactory manner. I will wait until the 19th before I send out the LBA.

 

I am a little concerned about the section that refers to the possibility of my employing someone to act on my behalf and that Abbey will not be liable for any costs incurred as a result.

 

Is this informatilon correct? or is it just bullying tactics??

 

Would anyone recommend getting a solicitor??

 

I have already sent out an LBA as I am stil waiting a full breakdown of charges for 2004. The 7 days are up today so will contact the OFT.

Hello Sapphireeyes,

 

dont listen to them just stick to your steps LBA on the 19th June and then its time to submit the N1 claim form on the 3rd of July.

 

Just remember Abbey dont turn up to court coz they are big sissies :lol:

 

You do not need a solicitor, if you needed to appeal or went to a high court I would reconsider but this is never gonna happen!

 

I would start preparing my N1 form so its perfect! (Thats if you want to use a hand written one like me!)

 

Best of luck!

Hello again,

Not been on for a while...I've been knee deep in paperwork for a road accident I was in 3 weeks ago. Not my fault I might add, A recovery truck backed into me :eek: Been feeling a bit sorry for myself :p

 

I did submit my LBA on the 19th. I also requested the T & C s for my account as I realised I'd forgotton to put that in with my Prelim letter. I've had not response. But suddenly realised that I've lost track of time completely. I have only just started on my N1 which now means that I am late in submitting it to the court. Does anyone know if this will affect my claim??

 

Thanks

Hi there - its me again ;)

 

So sorry to hear about your accident - life is not treating you well at the moment, but, so they say, things can only get better!?!

 

No, you have not in any way compromised your claim; they may think you have backed down, but oh how wrong they are!!

 

Just go ahead as soon as you can, and do not worry!!

 

Very best regards

Hello Jo,

 

And welcome to my thread.:p Sorry not a colourful as Loz's:) Now got the interest straight (again thankyou for your help) Shall keep at filling the N1 in.

 

Would you happen to know what I should do if they still don't send me my T & C's?? I'm still waiting for actually statements for 2004. They've sent me 3 separate copies of a statement of charges for that period. Starting to think they're taking the perverbial.

 

Take Care

Hi

 

Don't worry about the T & C's - back to 1998 are downloadable from this site; they are only needed for the Court bundle, if you have to go that far, and even then are not as imperative in Abbey cases as for other banks.

 

Are they outside the 40 days from the SAR? If so you can go down the Non-Compliance route.

 

Tell you what, I am "cream-crackered" :o - will post back tomorrow when I am a bit more with it, if thats okay?

 

Best regards

Oh Bless you.

 

Know how you feel. Between work, children and mad house never have a minute. Thats why I'm on here so late.

 

Thankyou very much for answering Jo. THink I may have a problem. I understand that the T & C's have to be from when I opened my account. And that was approximatley 1991. In which case should I be worried.

 

Secondly when I first requested my information I hadn't found this site and just phoned up and asked...too polite for my own good;) They did go past the 40 days. I made the mistake of sending them a LBA that I was going to go to the OFT. BUt with the car accident e.t.c never got around to it. I did phone them up about another matter and asked then. I was assured that they would be sent out. But have only recieved 3 more copies of the same statement. Was going to mention it on the N1. CAn I do that?

 

Regards

DITTO!! ;)

 

Just done 3 hours of ironing, and completely whacked, but heyho thats life I suppose!

 

Have you had a look at the non-compliance threads?

If not, this is the link to the template letters:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6986-data-protection-act-non.html

 

and then the POC's for a Court claim under DPA are here:

 

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/bank-templates-library/6971-data-protection-act-non.html

 

I don't know a lot about it - they sent me my data within the time, but if you have a read on these links I hope it may help.

 

All I do know is that you can submit an estimated claim, with the condition that you have the right to amend it when they supply the data you need, and they are then liable for your costs to do that.

 

Sorry I can't be of more help :(

 

Off to bed with my list of things to do tomorrow firmly imprinted in my brain ;)

 

Good night and best regards

Hope your having a great weekend.

Hello back again already.

 

Please I need a very quick reply. Have a kid free house at the moment - peace, bless them. Doing my N1 and not sure about this question..

 

) The claimant claims interest under section 69 of the County Courts Act 1984 at the rate of 8% a year, from [date when the money became owed to you] to [the date you are issuing the claim] of £ [amount] and also interest at the same rate up to the date of judgment or earlier payment at a daily rate of [enter the daily rate of interest]

 

Date when the money becomes owed to you. Does that mean the date the charges actually started or the date I first applied to the bank for a refund of my charges??

 

The date I am issuing the claim, I assume means the date I submit my N1, yes?

 

I really would appreciate a quick reply from anyone..desparate to get this in on Monday.

 

Many thanks

 

Ax

Hi

 

Sorry didn't get back to you yesterday - really busy day, but still didn't stop me waking up at 5:40 this morning!!

 

Glad to hear you are doing the N1 - is it all ready to go?

 

Re the T & C's - yes they are supposed to be from the time of opening the Account, but as I said don't worry too much about them at this stage.

 

If you get to Court bundle stage, then I would download the earliest ones available; your correspondence shows that you requested them from Abbey and they ignored your requests, so thats another feather in YOUR cap!

 

Have a great day

 

Lotsa luv

If you have your wits about you you will reclaim CI. I did and got every penny back.

 

Otherwise the banks have had your money interest free for however long it was since it was parted from you, illegaly.

The Waiver is an FSA Conspiracy with the banks against the consumer - Complain to your MP and the FSA about their shameful act!

hello all,

 

Thankyou so much for your advice. Sorry I've not answered or been on. Had to sort out everything from my car accident a few weeks ago. They me my car had been written off and gave me a week to find a new one before they took the hire car off me!! Been frantically sorting that one out plus additional paperwork. All done now hopefully.

 

Anyway I digress..:) I finally submitted my N1 and have had letter from the court saying they have given Abbey until the 3rd of August. Now it really begins. :o gulp..any advice would be gratefully recieved. Just waiting to hear from Abbey.

 

Bye for now TC

Thankyou Leecab, really appreciated. Can I just confirm that if they haven't replied by the 3rd august then I submit a judgement and if the file and acknowledgement the court will inform me and give them 28 days for a defence?

 

Kind regards

Basically they have 28 days from the point the court issues your claim you will recieve a piece of paper saying Notice of Issue from the court. Abbey have 14 days from the date the court issued against them to Acknowledge the claim, then once they have Acknowledged they have a further 14 day to send a defence to the court so thats 28 days in total from the date of issue by the court.

 

Hope thats clear x :) x

Thankyou for replying again. Just got in from work today and they've sent me a letter saying sorry I am unhappy with charges e.t.c and although the charges were correct, as a gesture of goodwill, they are happy to refund me £180!! which will be in my account in the next 10 days. That a full investigation has been carried out and that they will keep my file open for the next 8 weeks.

 

Can't believe that...with interest I've asked for over £3000. Not really sure what to do with this one. Certainly don't want to accept it. I'll have a look on the site later when I have sorted out my children. But can anyone advise me on this one please.

 

Kind regards
