parking charge notice - county court claim

ColliesCarer

Those experienced in helping people put together their defence will no doubt be along soon to help.

In the meantime take a look the section of the NEWBIES thread relevant to small claims - I've lifted the following from there

Specific info about Civil Enforcement Claims 2014 which are not sent via MCOL

I would advise posting this on https://www.pepipoo.com as well, I just spoke to kirby and he's snowed under with helping people with claims at the moment. A lot of us by the way OP post over there as well, but there are more people who can help with claims there.

This should make you less stressed

Thanks for all support so far and will take a look at what you have suggested.




In addition to the county court claim , Can you explain what's going on with respect to this letter I received in January from Civil Enforcement stating:

we hereby give you notice that by an assignment dated 23rd January 2014 we have assigned part of the above debt to Debt Enforcement & action Limited of 124 Baker Street, W1U 6TY.

The amount assigned was £113.75 (representing 87.5%of the amount owing) relating to a parking charge notice which was issued with a contract with The Co-operative Group of 1 Angel Square, Manchester, M60 0AG.

Henceforth we will no longer be involved in this part of the debt and payments and/or communications must be sent to Debt Enforcement & action (address again).

The balance £16.25 (representing the remaining12.5%) has been retained by us as part an ongoing agreement relating to monies that may fall due to The cooperative and we reserve our rights accordingly. As part of the transaction, we have instructed Debt Enforcement & Action Ltd to recover this remaining amount on our behalf.

Yours faithfully

For and behalf of
civil enforcement.




Many thanks again

op - just to be clear, what was the DATE OF THE ALLEGED 'PARKING EVENT' please?

From this 'I took the advice of ignoring various letters requesting payment and had not heard anything for about 10 months.' and this ' in a 2 hour free supermarket car park approx. 18 months ago' I infer at least a year?

Is there any chance your 'parking event' pre-dated the NEVER IGNORE advice? i.e.
[from the NEWBIES STICKY THREAD]

'IGNORE' IS NOT THE RIGHT ADVICE IN ENGLAND/WALES AND HASN'T BEEN SINCE EARLY 2013!

Well spotted Ampersand - it's possible it does pre-date Oct 2012.

Hi


it was Oct 2012 unfortunately I did not keep up to date with the issue on the websites and kept on ignoring the letters despite the stress they were provoking.


Thanks for pointing out to others this issue.

Does the LBCCC specify the date of the alleged event?
Asking in case the event may have been pre 1/10/12 but you received the NtK in Oct 2012

It's where they pretend they've sold the debt. They can't IMHO, there is no credit agreement so you've never consented to losing the 'protection' of the alleged debt being with a BPA member. I believe it's unlawful to sell a debt without consent (in a credit agreement small print, usually).

If you search this forum for 'Civil' or 'DEAL' as keywords you will find other cases like yours which will help you see the experiences of those who have gone before you.

Thanks again for your responses.
It was in Oct 2012 so just when the changes re: RK come into force I guess.
