Their new Letter Before Claim is just as bad as the previous version.
I received one LBC pre-Oct 1 which was the old style format. They've since posted me the new LBC referencing the PAP with the following line included at the end:
'We refer you to Paragraph 2.1 (c) of the PAP which obliges the parties to act reasonably and proportionately.'
...after posting a non-compliant LBC. For the second time.
It's just too ridiculous for words.0 -

That's Gladstones for you, since when have they acted
in a "reasonably and proportionately" manner. ???

Gladstones client PCM UK hit with £1500 unreasonable costs order
http://parking-prankster.blogspot.co.uk/2017/10/gladstones-client-pcm-uk-hit-with-1500_29.html
The defendant was being pursued for three parking charges totalling £300, plus fictitious charges of £180 added by Gladstones department of random numbers, £22.39 interest and legal costs of £130, totalling £632.39. Gladstones finest, Jamie Ashford made a bit of a dogs breakfast with the claim form, scribbling additions here and there.
Gladstones failed to pay the hearing fee or send in any evidence meaning that the claim was struck out.
A hearing was then held to determine costs. Coupon-mad:) and Loadsofchildren123:) assisted with the case and with producing a comprehensive costs schedule, charging at the litigant in person rate of £19/hour. This impressed the judge who said they had ''never seen a professional one like that before''
The Judge ordered £1500 against the defendant's costs''.
The amount is payable within 14 days - by Monday 30th October 2017 by PCM UK
PCM UK you have been Gladstoned well and truly:T0 -
