CEL County Court Claim

The_Deep

Please start your own thread but read this now.


Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and a smaller company have already been named and shamed, as has Gladstones Solicitors, and BW Legal, (these two law firms take hundreds of these cases to court each year). They nearly always lose) and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P.

Hospital car parks and residential complex tickets have been especially mentioned.

The problem has become so rampant that MPs have agreed to enact a Bill to regulate these scammers. Watch the video of the Second Reading in the HofC recently.

and complain in the most robust terms to your MP. With a fair wind most of these companies may well be put out of business by Christmas.

How's this looking as a first draft?

You need to add a statement of truth at the bottom.

Do not rush it.

Reply again if you amend it, after you've read loads of other examples, defences are everywhere.

You need to ask slou1983 to delete their post, it's stopping you getting advice.

OP Just send a PM to Crabman, Savvy or Soolin and ask them to deal with it for the reasons stated by C-M.

Hi guys,

I now have a Notice of Proposed Allocation, with the Direct Questionnaire to be filled in.

But it has no copy of the defence and has the text on the letter crossed out stating a copy of it is enclosed?

What's the procedure here? Fill in the form and send it back and wait?

Thanks for your help.

Quentin

Hopefully you kept your own copy!


See #2 in the newbies faq thread for a walkthrough on the pre hearing procedure

Obviously they are not sending you the Defendant, a copy of your own defence! You know what to do at this stage, and every stage, because you've read post #2 of the NEWBIES thread.

CEHELL

Ah yeah! A bit of a brain fart there,

I of course have a copy and I'm sure it's uploaded.

Do they have to provide anything to me? I have none of their 'evidence' etc?

Should I expect something?

Quentin

You have their POC don't you?


(Your defence must have uploaded - otherwise this would not be a "defended claim")


That allocation form is sent to both sides - so the claimant will have got one without "defence enclosed" crossed out!

CEHELL

This is all I have as the POC...

As I said earlier:

You know what to do at this stage, and every stage, because you've read post #2 of the NEWBIES thread.

Your questions about evidence tell me you haven't read post #2 of the sticky properly.
