Thank you.
Yeah, I guess they didn't like the spanking...

At the end of the day, if Gladstones has no money to pay, the bailiffs will seize goods

The bailiff won't , not on a warrant of control

If they've missed the deadline, apply for a warrant of control. Keep copies of your account statement showing no payment in case they have hit a delay and it shows up later.

Great news, Gladstones have finally paid... 8 days after having said the monies were electronically transferred and being put to strict proof, miraculously the payment arrived on my account this evening :beer:

Thank you again for all your support :T

So, one might surmise, they lied... :eek:

Very glad you extracted money from them though. All good! :T

I have had a similar request for tickets from the apartment block where I live saying they intend to file a claim soon -

There are four tickets and these were not attached to the car at the time

I do not have the funds to pay these at present,.as I live and own an apartment at the block a I would hope that management may be able to help or arrange a reduced fee it. Currently stands at 640 pounds and simply so not have the funds to pay at present

Is it worth contacting gladstones to negotiate a reduced fee or is this a waste of time?

Any assis would be great appreciated

It's a waste of time trying to negotiate.

Defending the claim is how to get it lower than £640 because the PPC can only recover £400 (if the PCNS were £100 x 4) plus about fifty quid court fees - and that's only if you lose.

99% of people here who stick around and follow all advice, win. Have done consistently for some two years now.

And the 1% who lose (of those who attend a hearing - as per our clear advice) pay less than the claim by pointing out to the Judge that the fact the claim is inflated by £60 per PCN and more.

You need to read the NEWBIES thread post #2, and learn how to win.
