    Or for over £750, could threaten them with a bankruptcy petition. Although you can do this with more than one person, as long as the overall debt exceeds £750.

    You can't bankrupt a company. You'd have to apply to wind it up.

    The cheque wasn't for a large amount of money. I haven't banked it yet as it gives me great pleasure every time I walk in from work and stare at it on my desk. I've framed the accompanying letter, as a little reminder to myself, and my kids/grandkid, it's important to stick up to bullies.

    I'm quite happy to use the legal process as freely as Parking Eye were us.

    I have absolutely no qualms about admitting that the thought of bailiffs visiting Chorley would give me nothing other than great delight.

    I guess the real issue is whether or not I would succeed.

    I would write to them saying that unless a correctly dated cheque arrives within 7 days, enforcement action will be taken without further recourse to thm.

    Sounds like one of PE's letters :)
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Oh well, going to mosey down the bank tomorrow and seek their opinion on the validity of the cheque. If Parking Eye have indeed sent me something as useful as bag of monkey nuts, I'm then going to mosey down to The Courthouse, and ask them about my options.

    The most worrying thing about all this ? Was letting my daughter know about my plans to defend the vulnerable, and she said, "I feel sorry for Parking Eye!"

    Lets remind ourselves on how Parking Eye are stockpiling CCJs, how can this be if they are an ethical company ??
