    Wow - just one single case today:

    Eastbourne - Civil Enforcement Ltd. No doubt a default case.

    Looks like I was out of the starting blocks too soon this morning, as on return home I see that today's list has grown!

    It's now 29/12

    That's some number of set-asides! When is Theresa May going to sort this out? So many people's financial standings are being trashed by the PPC network's headlong, blood-thirsty rush into litigation without any care for ensuring that defendants have actually received court papers before having their cases turned into a default judgments.

    Yes, that's what I was told, but not what was apparently said by *someone*. A heck of a difference - people should listen to those who actually know about the case, not Chinese whispers from a bystander.

    well done on the win and thanks for sharing ! Especially as it was a person who moved out because of the parking issues. Shame about your casual sexism however.

    Care to explain what you mean? LOC123 is female.
