County Court Claim from SIP

applebys

Hi, I am in need of some advice please.

My nephew started driving last year and got quite a few private parking tickets, which he has ignored all of them.]

He got this county claim for SIP and we really need some advice on what to do?

When we go to Money Claim online it gives us these options below: - which one do we click on?

Thanks for any advice you can give,

Available options

you need to read post #2 of the NEWBIES FAQ sticky thread , especially the posts linked to info by BARGEPOLE and LOC123

the bargepole link gives exact instructions that answer your question above, proving that you have not read his advice


only do the AOS for now , nothing else


then start drafting your DEFENCE and post it below for critique


this other SIP thread is also worth a read

SIP often have issues with their contracts. Is there a specific location or would you rather not say.

The_Deep

This is an entirely unregulated industry which is scamming the public with inflated claims for minor breaches of contracts for alleged parking offences, aided and abetted by a handful of low-rent solicitors.

Parking Eye, CPM, Smart, and another 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 lose most of them, and have been reported to the regulatory authority by an M.P. for unprofessional conduct

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 they will be out of business by Christmas.

Hi, I am reading through the newbie threads.

But I have another question - I am replying to the county court claim.

Do I click defend all this claim and do I also click on contest this jurisdiction?

Thank you

Quentin

Please follow the advice in the Newbies FAQ thread.

There is a walkthrough there showing you exactly what boxes to tick!

See #2 there and follow the link to the AOS walkthrough

Do I click defend all this claim

Obviously!

and do I also click on contest this jurisdiction?

No. But this is ALL covered by bargepole in the NEWBIES thread link about what happens when and how to fill in forms.
