Small Claims date received

Quite right, there is no WS there, and no pictures of a sign actually in that bay, just a pic showing a sign in another run of bays to the right, and a stock picture of *a sign* and an undated aerial view with some hand-drawn crosses on it, but no explanation as to what those crosses are meant to signify, nor proof that there are all those signs there (if it is assumed the crosses are meant to suggest signs).

No explanation of why two PCNs were issued in one day, for the same parking event (car not moved).

No explanation as to how £100 becomes £160 per PCN, when we all know Debt Recovery firms offer a no-collection, no fee' service and Link has paid NO-ONE a sum of £60 for debt collection, so there are no damages.

Let's hope the court have the same set of (bad) mish-mash evidence and no WS.

I would cover these issues in your skeleton argument, I think.

Gladstones do muck these cases up!

WS and evidence had to be submitted on 5th March,(I sent mine recorded delivery to the court) is it worth leaving it a few days and then checking with the court what they have received?
And if they got the same what do I say?

Coupon-mad

I would not check with the court. I would just include a line about this in your SA, and send that to the court and G's 48 hours before the hearing, with your costs schedule.

Did you send all your WS & evidence to Gladstones too, we hope? Just checking again.

Lynn, if I were you I would now remove that dropbox link.

You have made a pretty poor attempt at hiding things.
E.g. your full name is in clear view in several places, as is the PCN numbers, precise times, etc.
Your postcode and car reg can be made out through your near transparent 'confidential' masks.

All these things make it possible to identify you and your specific incident.

Now that it has been determined that there is no Witness Statement there, probably best to remove that Dropbox image.

I agree, remove it now we've looked. You don't want Gladstones spotting that.

Thanks I have removed it and yes I sent everything to GS the same time as it got posted to the court.

I disagree with C-M here actually

I WOULD ask the court what they have received from the C. That way you can let the court know, NOW, that you do not have a WS. It makes you appear significantly more credible if you have a contemporaneous record before the hearing that you did not have a WS, juust in case GS sent one to the court. Either through incompetence or malice.

You should be writing a skeleton argument now, summarising your defence and rebutting their pathetic documents - including that the C has failed to serve a WS, so you ask that the claim is dismissed as they cannot prove any element of their claim.

So I rang the court this morning and after being put on hold for a couple of minutes was told that it takes a week or so for the court to process documents received and if they haven't received a WS from the claimants this will be passed to the Judge for his directions and I would be informed of any decisions.
I'm taking this as a WS has not been received and am going to write my skeleton accordingly.
Hope to post it on here in next few days.
Thanks everyone for getting me this far :A

Apologies if I have written here and should not.
You helped another “theblackfox” with information/advice regarding Witness Statement /Civil Proceedings Rules/ Draft Defence and CCJ set aside application. I seem to be unable to find those posts despite using the advanced search facility and watching the videos on how to search for posts in threads numerous times. I am trying to write a Witness Statement and Draft Defence to send with N244 and the information on here is invaluable if you can find it again. Now I copy down the gist of everything I’m reading as I never seem to find the same information threads/posts a second time. Please can you help with directing how I may find the thread started by “theblackfox” titled Gladstones / Euro Car Parks / CCJ / Wrong Address. I believe the start date was 18th October 2017 @ 5:18pm.
Many thanks in advance, Marni68

You need to start your own thread. Advising two people in one thread is bound to lead to confusion.
