So I'm going to court...

Well done! That's really good news.

As far as payment, I would be inclined to wait. Surely it's up to them to find out how to pay you. They have your name and address so can send a cheque if nothing else. If they want to pay another way, they must put in the effort. Of course, another method may not be convenient. You might not want to give scammers your bank details.

Perhaps you would like a Postal Order? That would cost them extra and they would have to go out to buy it ...

Nicely done - did you ask for £179? I wonder how that was calculated

For payment, they should have 14 days to pay, I belive - the order should give you some clue - after which you do not, if payment hasnt been receivd, need to start a small claim (come on pappa, you know better )

As there is a court order for payment, you can enforce this as any other order from a court, by giving the court some money> they can then potentially directly take money from the C, or failing that you let the costs add up until it hoits over £600, then a HCEO can be called in - they can lawfully break in and seize goods to be sold in order to pay you. That woul dbe hilarious

On a more realistic note, epxect a cheque to arrive about 2 days after the deadline...

Well done, a good result

Wonder what happened to the Gladstones boys
(Pinky and Perky) with all this.

I suspect they may have been making a new
version of the movies "LOONEY TOONS"

I am sorry, but I think that you have been short changed. £179 for the hassle you have been subjjected to is, imo, an insult.

How many hours did you spend on this? A lot more than nine I'll venture. Added to which your leasehold right to quiet enjoyment was compromised, you were lied to, the charge went up to £240 at one stage, (fraud?), the POC were inadequate, they failed CPRs,

If you spent 30 hours on this you received £6 an hour for your labour, not to mention the time others on here have spent helping you.

I would definitely not be pleased with the result.

Less than minimum wage - but higher than the peanuts that Gladstones pay their interns.

UPDATE

On a final note, the Claimant have been ordered to pay me £179, but I can't imagine they're a) going to get in touch and ask how I'd like to be paid b) be particuarly easy to get the money from.

What do I do now? Contact them directly with bank details and copy of judges order? The order stated payment must be by 30th Jan, So I wonder if I inform them now I will be passing this onwards if not paid by then?

they "should" send you that cheque mentioned above around or just after deadline day, so wait and see

if they fail, you can pay money to set the bailiffs on them I believe

all explained on the MCOL site

https://www.moneyclaimsuk.co.uk/warrant-of-control.aspx

a warrant of control (seeing as its under £600)

a good result for you nevertheless, nice to see the boot on the other foot and UK CPM will have lost a fair few hundred on thius matter alone

and keep up with the RA and the management association etc

excellent , no dout you have there address tom write to , dont forget to start a small claims if they forget to pay

Totally and utterly wrong advice.

If you have a Judgment saying the other party has to pay you a sum of money, and they don't pay it, you do NOT start a claim.

You apply to the Court for a Warrant of Control (or High Court for a Writ of Control if over £600), and the bailiffs will call. The fees for all that are added to the debt.

ok , accepted , tho in a lot of cases bailliffs are useless , especially with slimey companies like this one

Well done Jhpt. Now why not turn the heat up on the RA to get shut of the PPC on the back of your court win.

Tell them you’ve won costs against the PPC, and should they come after you with any further tickets, you will be joining the RA in a harassment case against them.

Can you put up some notices so other residents are aware that the PPC can be and has been beaten at court.

Time for some mischief, underpinned by your legal success.

System

You could call the Gladstones payment line.

You: Hi calling about a judgement
Them: How will it be paid?
You: That's what I want to know.

Record it as we want a laugh.
