Hi All,
Thanks for the help on this forum so far.
Brief overview so far -
1.ES parking enforcement ltd - fluttering ticket.
2. Their claim rejected, usual appeal to IAS option withdrawn by said parking company.
3. Chased by Wright Hassal - ignored.
4. LBC from Gladstones.
5. Sent initial response - (thanks Loadsof children for good letter basis)
6. Now in receipt of second Gladstone letter, with usual trash quoting Elliot v Loake, and threatening to issue a claim in 14 days.
Now, 2 things -
a) They keep writing to a previous address, despite ES and Gladstone always being told, explicitly, the contact address (consequence is second letter has been received after their 14 day deadline). Im concerned if this continues (sending to wrong address) that I will miss the court papers and end with a judgement in my absence.
b) How do I get the court, assuming we get there, to consider my costs/compensation for distress and costs asociated with defending the (entirley baseless) claim?
I will post my draft defence, if I receive court papers, for your critique.
Thanks for your help guys.
