County Court defence v Gladstones claim

Peabo

Hi Coupon-mad and thank you for your understanding post, it felt supportive. At the time of the first letter from Gladstones all I can remember is the panic and asthma attack that followed, I do normally check companies out before buying from them, but cant have done in this situation. And as you suggested, when looking on TrustPilot there are about 30 negative post regarding the company.

And if they contact me on here I will not reply, thank you for the advice.

On a different note, I took some photos at the entrance to Mile End Park Leisure Centre and found the parks sign obscured the Gemini sign when approaching and turning into the park.

And the parks sign is twice the size, so naturally sight would be drawn to it first, and the second sign would be missed unless walking!

I did try to post a link of the pics from Flicker, but wasn't allowed to

As a new poster you can't post live links. If you paste the URL from the Flicker page, but change http to read hxxp, that will break the link, allowing you to post it here. A regular will then convert it back to a live one.

Many thanks, did try replacing pp with xx but still wasn't allowed, so was wondering if folk could use this:

type https:// and www. then copy/paste:

and the same for this one

Yes, but we need the rest of the URL!!

Sorry about that, I had to edit my Flickr account as it was displaying my full name.

These are the links:

Hi KeithP, could you breakdown the dates for me, as I thought it was 14 + 14 days from the AOS date, not the 6 August?
Many thanks

The 28 days (+5 maximum added for service) is from the COURT CLAIM date and has nothing to do with the AOS date.

Thanks Coupon-mad. In light of the new pictures, I have edited point 6 and would ask if this seems reasonable?

6. The terms on the Claimant's signage are also displayed in a font which is too small to be read from a passing vehicle, and in such a position at the entrance to the park as to be obscured by the parks own signage being twice its size, that anyone attempting to read the sign would have to brake suddenly with potential to cause an accident. It is, therefore, denied that the Claimant's signage is capable of creating a legally binding contract.

The MCOL User Guide tells us:

How long does the defendant have to respond to my claim?

The court will send out a claim pack to each defendant once the claim has been issued and allows 5 calendar days from the date of issue for the service of the claim. Therefore the ‘date of service’ is the 5th calendar day after issue. Please note, if you have served separate particulars of claim then this may affect the deemed date of service (as above).

The defendant has 14 calendar days from the ‘date of service’ to file a response. If the last day for filing the response falls on a day that the court is not open (i.e. a weekend or public holiday), the court will allow the next full working day until 4pm for a response. The defendant can extend the time to respond to 28 calendar days by filing an acknowledgement of service (AOS). You will be forwarded a copy and the ‘Claim Overview’ section online will also be updated.

Thank you for this KeithP, it has taken me awhile for the penny to drop.
