Papers only claim

My son was visiting a friend ( 4 occasions ) he said it was ok to park outside his house across the top of his drive as the company pcm don’t do anything. We therefore received letter after letter for the 4 occasions but threw them away thinking nothing would come of it. Then I get a court claim which I wrongly filled out I now know by adding a defence. I now have a papers only application, it’s basically a Gladstones letter with attached forms to the courts applying for papers only claim. My husband is the keeper so all addressed to him. However I didn’t disclose my son was the driver but my husband won’t appear in court for
The case, I’ve never been so stressed, he knows about it all but thinks I have basically got it covered by my defence and not that if I decline papers only that he will need to go to court. My hubby and son don’t have a great relationship plus he just can’t take time off work at this time, not that he would anyway. I jjust need to know my best step from here basically. It’s now £800

Well your sons friend was mistaken in giving him that information but that does not mean your son should be punished for this, unfortunately scammers don't care and just want money!!


In terms of your husband being familiar with what's going on he is not up to speed with the facts and you will have to tell him, these are:


HE is the only person who can defend this claim (apart from very expensive solicitor of course which is NOT!! advisable)


HE is the one that will receive a default judgement IF he doesn't defend.


HE WILL receive a CCJ if he doesn't pay the judgement (usually within 30 days or whatever the judge orders).


HE has a responsibility as the vehicle keeper whether he likes it or not (facts don't care about feelings).


And finally its decision time for him, pay it or defend it, you are not to blame for these events and your son hasn't committed murder either, just been a victim of a parasitic scammer!!


Good luck with it.

Well in all honesty., it’s my son who is worried about doing that. He doesn’t want to make their already fragile relationship worse and I can’t risk more arguments about debt collectors coming etc as we need to live together still for financial reasons, it’s a vile situation. That’s why I don’t think I can ignore them.

As I have previously said 'Facts don't care about feelings' a concept many don't understand I'm sad to say.

I don't really see what else this forum can do.

For your husband, he either pays the inflated sum before court
or let the powers to be issue a CCJ against him

We of course do not approve of this but what else can we do ??

if your son 'outs' himself , as the driver .... then, that may cause problems for CPM in court if they proceed



he (son) then may be able to 'make an offer' to said CPM ....



you will need forum members to agree or not with the above ...

Do you mean PE as it's PCM in this case

That's why Gladstones are involved, the completed circle of the scam
