I'm monitoring the Prankster's blog as well to see if there is any update on MIL having to prove the existence of Matt Murdoch...

I hope to be able to blog an update next week. Certainly he did not appear this week on their stand at Parkex and all indications are t hat he is a fictitious person.

So far most people who get the £50 offer get a notice of discontinuation shortly afterwards, although this is of course not guaranteed.

Nothing received as yet so I have just over 2 weeks to get the paperwork ready for the court. Would I need copies of any of the letters to/from mps or just the ones from mil?

This morning I have received 'General Form of Judgment Order' - 'information only' for the defendant - me - stating that MIL have failed to pay the £25 hearing fee which was due by 23/6/16. They now have until 7/7/16 to pay this fee otherwise the case will be struck out. As the paperwork for my defence is due by 12th July, do I continue with my defence at this stage or wait until the 7/7 and contact the court to see whether payment has been made and the case is to go ahead? From the prankster's last blog, I too have received the same letter 'Open Settlement Offer', so am unsure whether to contact MIL again, as I have already written to them to ask for a Notice of Discontinuance. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would do the latter.

Thank you, I guess it's only a few more days to wait.

Just checked through some paperwork again, the Directions questionnaire copy sent to me by MIL has been signed (typed) MIL Collections. Would the court accept this or should it have a signature? Reading the parking prankster's recent blogs, it appears that MIL are mentioned several times regarding the elusive Matt Murdock(h)....

Another letter signed by Daredevil's alter ego?

Do Marvel Comics/Disney know about this? Man, if not, then they need to be told so that they can sue MIL

As an aside, Parkex was held in Coventry - they had an advert sandwich board out front of the station with the courtesy bus arrangements on them, so the attendees obviously didn't want to get "fined" for bad parking and took the train instead

The "fictitious person"'s name is also very close to that of a fictional comics character - I wonder if that's deliberate to avoid them from being sued by Marvel/Disney?

Hi all
Contacted the court today and MIL have now paid the court fee. As I need to get the paperwork for my defence to the court by Tuesday, could you advise:
do I enclose a copy of the original notice to keeper from PCS to show that I, the registered keeper, cannot be held liable as the NTk was dated day 58 after the alleged offence?
do I need to add anything to my original defence?
I will be enclosing copies of the original, unsigned debt assignment along with copies of the correspondence signed by Matt Murdoch.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Do I need to add anything to my original defence?

What did your defence say, and have you asked the poster who helped with it? I assume it had 'no proper assignment' and a point about 'champerty and maintenance' and the fact there was no keeper liability and no contract formed by clear, prominent signs...and in any case, MIL were not party to any contract anyway and are just trafficking in litigation, profiteering by meddling in cases where they have no interest whatsoever.

Did you see the latest Blogs about MIL discontinuing:

The fact they paid the hearing fee in your case has happened before and doesn't mean they'll be definitely showing up, but do be aware they might contact you shortly before any hearing, either pretending that you don't have to show up on the day (only believe the court, not MIL!) or offering to settle for £50. Yet they will likely discontinue anyway, as the blog shows, they are like rats leaving a sinking ship and you can use those other recently discontinued case numbers as evidence in your defence.

Hi Coupon-Mad, you're right, my defence was based on no valid deed of assignment and champerty and maintenance, along with no keeper liability. I have already received the £50 settlement offer, it crossed with my letter requesting a discontinuation. I have read the Prankster's blog and will add the cases mentioned to my defence.
