court date timeout

on another thread , private parking ticket dating back to 2012 ,

this is before legislation in 2012 (POFa)

at what point do you START the 6 yr clock ? is from the date you recieve a invoice , or 28 days later if they offer that

the laws after POFa are clear cut and there is now a regulated time gap between the incident and them sending bog roll - sorry invoices

so does it start at the recept date of the invoice , 14/28 days later or 3 mths later because they cannot be bothered to answer an appeal .

at this stage (now) its a company called B+W legal who are hoovering up very old cases hoping for change of address and a default.

the case in question would be easily beeten in court after the first question .


date of start of clock , please?

Surely what matters is 6 years takes you to 2018
No expert, far from it just a gobshiiiite amateur!!!!! but my guess would be it would be the date of the ticket.
Good luck in stomping on the parking fascist

Cause of action would be the date of the incident - it would be hard to argue otherwise, though they could try.

I'm not aware of any cases where a ppc tried court action on something that happened over 6 years ago.

thanks both of you , the incident was nov-dec 2010 which is pre POFa 2012 time

PPCs have not tried court after 6 yrs , well they cant can they , P+W legal are "hoovering" old cases due for 6 yrs cut off for VCS/excel in the hope of getting defaults

Plenty of debt buyers try court action after more than six years have passed so I would not put it past the ppcs or their agents to try it.

Many claims succeed because the debtor does not respond, so judgement in default.

Some of them 'find' a payment 2 or 3 years ago.

Some seem to take court action at a previous address, no response, so judgement in default. Then they manage to find where the debtor lives now!

They could even argue for a different start date though I've not seen that yet.

The point is that there is a defence as long as the debtor can and does make it.

yes it is called "credit clamping" , as per telegraph report andd being investigated by our prime minister

as for buying debts (ppc oriontated) people are fighting back , the parking Cos have an agreement with the DVLA that they cannot sell details on , several recent cases , where DPA has resulted ion £750 loses to them

this company B+W are hoovering along within the 6 yrs hoping to get defaults and play blackmail later , they are hired by the PPC , so not a lot can be done
