    A quick update in case anyone is interested->
    Had a reply in the post this week saying they had received my defence and sent to claimant. Just have to wait to see what Claimant submits.

    I just sent off my Directions Questionnaire to MCOL via email this morning.
    (Downloaded blank from; Filled out as per NEWBIES thread; printed it out; scanned it and then produced a pdf of the signed copy that I emailed to MCOL email address)

    Note: I am delaying emailing the same form to the Claimant until last minute in the hope they forget to fill theirs out :)

    You can file by email to the claimant assuming they have one for service of docs. Saves a stamp.

    Received in the post today the Court Letter telling me that my court hearing will be at the end of March next year at my chosen court location. Once again they want the evidence and statements from both parties early (Just under a month from now) :(

    Means I have just under a month to write my WS and bundle of evidence. I know what I need to do as will be my second court appearance. I will then, closer to the court date, prepare a Skeleton.

    Will post my draft WS when ready and will upload to my Dropbox account the evidence I will rely on.

    This post is for information only for those who are interested.

    Also posting off a Land Registry SIM search to see if I can prove who the landowner is in case it helps my case.

    Keep the updates coming Claxtome!

    Anyone even remotely interested in fighting this scam would be mad not to be following this compelling thread.

    If anything it shows step by step how to build a defence from scratch with, I must add, superb support from the regulars who give up their time for free. They make what few hairs I have left on the back of my neck stand up at times. :T:T:T
  • The Land Registry SIM search returned 4 titles (3 titles are Freehold and 1 Leasehold).

    Can someone tell me how I can use a title number to find out who the owner of that title is please?
    (From my research it looks like I need to send off another form to the land registry, 1 per title, at the cost of £3 each)

    Thanks
  • Yes indeedy
  • claxtome, yes please keep posting updates even when it's just to say something's been done, because it provides a useful timeline for us to refer people to (lots get anxious when they don't hear anything for a few weeks so it helps to see, for instance, how long it took between sending in the DQ and then hearing back from your local court).

    yes, now you use each title number to search the one(s) you want now you've identified there are different parcels of land under different ownership.
    A leaseholder of land will have the right to contract out to a parking company so I'd search them all if there's any doubt.

    Thanks for your replies Johnersh and Loadofchildren123

    BTW an update ->
    I have been a bit busy with other things to prepare my WS.
    I have started it and hope to post my first draft by the weekend.

    I have a question for the forum ->
    What is the purpose of tracking down the landowner for the 4 titles I know of?
    (Only thing I can think for it is to appeal to the better nature of the landowner to get the court case cancelled)

    If people reply with yes pursue it I will send these off after I have submitted my WS to court -> due first week in Dec. (Will make the cost of all this being £4 + 4 x £3 = total £16)
