ES Enforcement County Court Claim
Comments

Totally agree with you, I towed the line at every stage and they clearly didn't.
Supposed that I send a letter like northwest has done, How long after sending the letter am I able to then go down the court line, would you send reminders like they have done before court forms?
If I could see other cases that have been successful I'd be more tempted but I feel like at the moment I'm taking a bit of a stab into the unknown, I was confident last time because I had so much weighing against them from all the support I had from here. Is this just a case of going to town with how they've been unreasonable and they shouldn't have obtained my details?
Agree that it was strange that didn't get posting and stationery costs she just put this down to part of defending a claim, do you think it's because I didn't provide receipts?contacted Gladstones who claim they did not receive my letter! Decided to appeal to ES, had no reply. Then received letter before claim from Gladstones, again appealed this within the 14 day requirement outlined by Gladstones, and yet again no reply. Then received County Court papers on the 14th October,
Surely the above amounts to unreasonable behaviour, as does the judge's refusal to allow your stationary and printing costs. Why is it that judges seem to be reluctant to compensate the innocent victims of these scammers.0 -
Yes please that would be great do you still have my email address?NorthWestITConsultant wrote: »I can send you the letter I sent to ESPEL before I lost my case and ended up having to drop it. In your case it's very straightforward IMO as you got damages for their misconduct. They will know they can lose £750 + court fees and with you winning the case they will be scared too. Happy to support as much as needed and if you want my letter as a starting point then PM me.0

I do not think that the Law is lax, I think that judges fail to put themselves in the place of TMOTCO.
This can no doubt be very stressful for a lot of people, threats of CCJs, ruination of their credit rating, letters from DCAs, and the reluctance of most people to argue the toss with a judge. Judges at this level are not legal collosii, they are usually former solicitors, and we all know how peone solicitors are to mistakes.
If you defend a claim and win, the law is supposed to put you in the position you were before the incident occurred. In this case the law has failed so to do, you are out of pocket.
Personally, I would make a complaint against this judge to the LCD.You never know how far you can go until you go too far.0 -
Hi all
Looking for some advice please
Our cheque turned up yesterday, dated 20th April and was sent 2nd class
Lamilad- you mentioned about the warrant of control- so we have a case here? We were meant to receive payment by the 21st so we got it a day late? Is it worth the hassle or will they not bother with it only been one day now that we have received the funds?
Thanks!0 -
While I'm not an expert I'd not waste time for 1 day. You have the case for the DPA which is worth pursuing IMO.0

Hello,
I have been reading though various forums and am looking for help.
My son received a fine from uk car park management for parking outside his rented accommodation on double yellow lines back in January. This letter arrived at my house where his car is registered and also he is on electrol roll. A picture was included that was taken from a house opposite his rented accommodation. The letters were ignored and stopped.
Since then he has received letters from gladstones addressed to his rented accommodation, which he has also ignored. Now he has a county court claim form which we need to respond to by tomorrow.
They are claiming
£166.25 (includes £6.25 interest)
£25 court fees
£50 representation cost
£241.25 total
Please can someone help? Do we need to pay or can we dispute?

Did you bother to read the claim form that says you can extend your time to file a defence to 28 days, by simply Acknowledging the claim? You can do this INSTANTLY, ONLINE
Go set up your new thread - what you agreed to do, wen you signed up just now - and post details there. Do NOT reveal who drove the vehicle, EVER. Cal them "the driver". But first - acknowledge the claim. You do not contest jurisdiction unless you live outside england and wales. You keep the defence section ENTIRELY blank.0
