HX Car Park Management, Gladstones Letter Before Claim

Umkomaas

Excellent report - thank you, and a great result. Well done!

Firstly congrats and secondly, this is a textbook defence and should be referred to for others.

The OP has gone through the stages in a structured way that a judge would appreciate. Clearly far superior in preparation to a Gladstones rent-a-mouth who was hoping just to turn up and collect the fee.

They won't be doing many more gigs now. Note the lie about their paperwork being POFA compliant. Shows how low this lot will sink to get a win.

Well done Birdo26 :T:T:T

Probably most judges are fed up with the incompetent
Gladstones who have become a blight in the courts
and a liability to themselves

Never mind Gladstones, another zapping for you:rotfl::rotfl:

Agreed, I will add it to the NEWBIES thread and maybe delete an old one or two when I have more time next week (half term). Especially good to see how this progressed from when Lamilad remarked:

It looks like you've put a load of defences and witness statements into a blender then poured the mixture out above.

Brilliant outcome, great court report to read. Well done to you and Mrs Birdo26!

Another case won - another one bites the dust!

Welcome - but you need to delete that post please, now. First.

You are currently hijacking someone's thread about their old case - that's not allowed even on an old 2018 thread, in case they want to come back here.

You need to start your own new thread - BUT ONLY IF WHAT YOU HAVE ASKED IS NOT ALREADY ANSWERED IN THE NEWBIES FAQS THREAD AT THE TOP OF THIS FORUM.

No link needed to the NEWBIES thread, as my signature tells you where to click back. If you are on a phone, switch the little screen OFF - for your own sake, never try to use this very detailed forum that way.

You can't even edit and delete a post (which we need you to do first) nor can you see my signature below telling you where to click, nor will you be able to read the NEWBIES thread properly on a phone.

NO REPLY HERE.

THIS THREAD IS ANCIENT AND NOT FOR GENERAL POSTING.

I wonder if someone could help. I have looked at all the feeds, including the neewbie and related and still seem to be a little stuck in my defence.
In a nutshell, Oct last year, i paid and displayed in a an HX car park. A couple of days later, i got a letter stating i have failed to purchase and/or validate a pay and display ticket. You can see my car is in transit going in and out of the car park. i did pay and display for my full stay. I ignored these letters, a colleague who uses the carpark stated that they 'try it all the time and to ignore', being heavily pregnant at the time, it wasnt on my list of things to do. Gladstone Solicitors quickly started sending letters, i then received a claims track before court which i sent off and ticked i would mediate. Since then, i have received a date to go to court 27th September and have to have my defence in 13th September (i have been on holiday so frantically writing it now) The claimant is trying to claim damages and staff costs in letters sent etc. they have now provided new evidence ANPR, that theyve searched my reg and i did not pay. I definitely did however, i wonder if i have mistyped my registration. Common sense would say they should have looked at a mistype before all the letters, however it seems i have been bombarded with generic copy and paste letters with lots of jargon about a contact between me and them whilst i parked in their car park.

i have written out some of the things i have found on the threads but if i'm honestly, it just looks like a unstructured mess. i hate that i could lose in court because i don't know all the jargon, clauses etc and they'll get money out of me when i did pay. if anyone could help, that would be amazing, thanks

If you want help and advice, you need to start your own thread. If you have read the NEWBIE sticky and didn't understand what to do, you need to read it again, it is not a quick read. If you then have a specific question, please ask it on your own thread NOT ON HERE, this belongs to another poster.
