Urgent: Judgement in Default (I filed on time!)

CircusFrog

Hello,

Last year, with the help of this forum, I won a case for my wife against UKCPM on the grounds that a tenancy agreement has supremacy of contract over the fines.

Since then, my wife's been fined again, and the judgement was awarded to UKCPM by default (I thought I responded on time, but assumed not).

They then fined me, and I submitted basically the exact same defence as the one that won last year, though referencing that case as well.

The deadline for the Amended Defence from the judge was 16:00 on 9th May 2018.

On 9th May 2018 I sent my amended defence by email to: enquiries@reading.countycourt.gsi.gov.uk, ccbcaq@hmcts.gsi.gov.uk and craig@gladstonessolicitors.co.uk.

Do I have a case to appeal the default judgement? If so, how do I go about that? I obviously need to move quickly, as the CCJ could come into effect.


Separately, and less urgent for now, I also got through yesterday two more claims from UKCPM via Gladstones (though to my old address, I've subsequently moved, and only know about these cases because I have address forwarding on!). As the case, at least against my wife, has been won - is there some action I can take to stop them bringing these cases? They're still going back 3 years in the fines, bundling 3 at a time.

So, checking my inbox from the time, I have two emails from 'alert@notification.messagelabs.com' with 'WARNING: Maximum email size exceeded'.

It doesn't say which emails these were in response to, but it could be that the court and HMCTS didn't get the emails

Make sure they have the correct address otherwise you could end up with more default CCJs


You need to respond to each claim separately!


They have 6 years to start proceedings



If you have already received notification of this default CCJ then it is already on the register and your credit files etc will be affected. If you pay it off in full within a month it can be removed

Otherwise to get the default removed then read up on how to apply for a set aside though the ccj will remain on your files etc until the set aside hearing and then removed if you are successful

I'm just trying to get a sense of what my chances are with the set aside hearing... given that it looks as though the emails didn't get through because my defence PDF was too large.

If I was in your shoes, I would be seriously looking at taking action against the management company who took on the parking company.
This is clearly an ongoing issue, and the antics of the management company and the PPC need to be stopped.

Also it was already decdied that you won
I would sue the MC for each and every judgement against you, plus damages for interference with your lease.
