CPMS LTD County Court Claim form received

Nielken

I presume I should just pay this when it comes through then?

I don't want it to get expensive at this point or damaging to me etc and I'm not sure what else to do.

Still absolutely shell shocked that anybody could think parking in the wrong space deserves a £250 charge.

World has gone mad

Yu have two sensible options

1) Pay up within 1 month of the judgement date. This avoids a CCJ appearing on your credit file for 6 years, ruining it regardless of what you do
2) Appeal, as the judge made an error in law - the PPC is not the current occupier of the land, and cannot have standing for trespass. In addition damages for trespass have to be proven, otherwise yu can only show nominal damages.

This is your choice.

I was told I would receive something by post from the court so will verify exactly what it says and see what happens from there.

Thanks everybody

If you don’t get something soon call. You don’t want to forget this.

Nielken

Should I call the court or CPMS? I definitely am not forgetting this, need to get a mortgage next year!

The court, obviously. They are the ones sending out the notice

ASsuming you decide to pay, you REALLY need to ensure this is logged with the court ASAP. Dont assume the claimant will do so.

FYI for those who were interested it as District Judge Iyer.

There is little information in the letter about what to do,how to pay etc. I'm going to call the court and make sure I get everything right, will also log the payment with the court when I make it, Thanks again everybody

Wow - Judge Iyer has earned a reputation for ‘getting’ all this stuff and becoming a bit of a Judge Jeffreys for PPCs.

Nielken

Sorry I don't understand the Judge Jeffreys reference as to whether that's a good thing or a bad thing.

All I know is that as soon as he coached the guy from CPMS into changing it from breach of contract into trespass I was stuck, none of the stuff I'd prepared mattered and it fell apart pretty quickly

Judge Jeffreys - the Hanging Judge.

Purely metaphorical - many PPCs have fallen foul of Judge Iyer in recent times.

If in a previous life you had been facing JJ, trust me, it would have been a bad thing.
