Court papers from MIL collections.

System

The reason MIL have paid only £1 for these is that they are virually all uncollectable due to flaws in the original paperwork. The PPC's can't go to court themselves as they would have to show the flawed paperwork - in this case its out of time for Keeper liability. So instead you get a claim that presumes there is a debt - but does not supply any evidence of it.

All these MIL claims are threats/hassle with tight time-scales so you need to get your own paperwork in order so you do not get tripped up in the process. Concentrate on paperwork/ court process and you'll be fine.

Whilst advice here is very useful there are better resources available at Pepipoo.com's Private Parking Ticket forum.

Take yourself across there and use the forum search function for "MIL Collections" and read through the numerous threads.

As for:


Unfortunately BG this reveals a degree of ignorance of how MIL operate and of the small claims court process.

In the last 12 months MIL have (reputedly) purchased multiple "debts" in the shape of unpaid PCN's at the rate of £1 a shot (we understand). These are purchased with the intention of issuing proceedings immediately if the "victim" does not pay up on receipt of their LBA/so-called notices of assignment.

Once the remainder are in the system unless the defendants choose to fight their cases then none of this passes in front of a judge. The small claims track is effectively an administrative system and undefended cases will never have been looked at by a judge. That is why MIL are able to get away with such Gruyere-like cases and have been defeated (and had costs awarded against them) at every single hearing - where defendants have sought advice here (and at Pepipoo) first.

Thanks for that, my comment was based on the OP defending this.
