I thought high court "bailiffs" only got involved if the figure ((court owed) was greater than £600 , I cannot see those photobucket links as I use an ad blocker

Yes you are correct. Taken from one of the OP's myriad other threads.

Ive just got a letter through dated Tuesday 21st stating that i never replied to the claim form and are now ordered to pay Horizons parking fine £500, interest £32.58 and legal fees £155

I assume (and the OP has probable stated somewhere) that this was more than one ticket.

umm , right , probably watching to much TV here , but I thought that the "high court mob" did not give any notice , (AKA "wont pay , take it away" , it was the county court that gave a date , and warnings , the escalated to high court ,

just wondering if this is another DCBL dirty trick

according to that letter , the county court judgement was started on 22/06/2017 , and they have issued (or sent) that letter on the 23/06/17 , was the judgement day the date of the default or the default date + 28 days

DCBL are slimey !!!!!!s , and have been cought before trying to pretend high court

I'm quite confused by the terminology and words being thrown around here

There are 3 parking charges which have had numerous add ons, legal fees, dcbl fees, interest and court costs etc to push it to £800 i think without looking.

If i lose in the set aside hearing do i have to pay for DCBL costs also?

Why have they brought DCBL into this at this stage despite there being a hearing for a set aside?

What evidence do i take into my set aside hearing?

And in reply to pappa golf

Judgement day was 14th April i think, the 28 days took it to aroubd 12th May. I applied for the set aside on the 17th April

If DCBL are acting as bailiffs with a High Court writ (could be if the sum does exceed £600), then you need specialist advice, not parking charge advice - there's a bit of a difference.

amongst the other things , lets start with ther claim

Ive just got a letter through dated Tuesday 21st stating that i never replied to the claim form and are now ordered to pay Horizons parking fine £500, interest £32.58 and legal fees £155



1: the parking tickets are set at £100 , wierd innit that they have gone for £500 , thats £166.66p each
2: the max figure for legal fees is £50
3: I also question the interest charged

thanks for the link guys, posted my question to them, how long does it take to reply?

my question is below

There was a court summons sent in February, the defence was sent immediately. A month later (in March) the court sent a letter stating it had not received a defence and that a default judgement was made against me.

I immediately applied to have this set aside with form N244, within 3 days of the judgement being made. In May, the court sent a letter stating that a hearing date has been arranged for the set aside on the 3rd July and sent this to both parties.

As i am waiting for the set aside hearing to take place, i never paid the debt, because i deny that i owe the money.

On June 23rd, i received a letter from DCBL enforcement agency which stated that i owe the claimant £687.58. It then states that (the court judgement or order or (sic) enforcement power...) County Court Northampton, Date of CCJ 21/03/17, High court name Queens Bench, Judgement date 22/06/17, Judgement ref >left blank<. ... I don't understand what this means though.

It then goes on to state Debt £805.33, Interest £0.15, Compliance stage fee £90, Total sum £895.48. I need to contact the enforcement agent to pay by the 4th July.

What i don't understand is why am i receiving bailiff letters for a high court judgement dated the 22nd June when i have got a set aside hearing on the 3rd July, and i need to comply with this letter and pay by the 4th July which is a day after the set aside hearing.

I also don't understand why the company are getting bailiffs involved when there is a date set for a set aside hearing that they are aware of.

Finally i don't understand why the sums are increasing as they are, there is an unexplained £117.75 increase from the "owed money through judgement" and what DCBL claim is the "debt" (687.58 > 805.33). There is then interest and a compliance stage fee which i do not understand as nothing has been done, except a letter sent to myself demanding payment, this has taken it up by another £90.15 to £895.48.

@chad888. Are you the same poster as cottom888?

There's a chance of this becoming rather confusing
