Gladstone County Court Claim

Coupon-mad

The Claimant’s representatives, Gladstones Solicitors Limited, have artificially inflated the value of the Claim from £100 to a total of £480.

They can't have done - this must be about more than one PCN.

3 further Parking charges
3 x £60
inflated to 3 x £100

then the additnal charges

so how would i clear up that point in a concise way? i feel they targeted the vehcile due to its nature and type.
after thye cancelled 1, thoight not going to cancel the others.

So this needs to say:

The Claimant’s representatives, Gladstones Solicitors Limited, have artificially inflated the value of the Claim from £300 to a total of £480.

Are you SURE it's only £480 at the bottom right of the claim form? I would expect it to show a fake £60 added to each £100, plus court fees and possibly fake legal costs too, making the claim more like double the £300.

your right, tickets are now £480 with the addiotnal £60 added included.
then interests of £20 pusuant to S69.... continuing to judgement at £0.11 per day.

amount claimed £500+
court fee £60
legal rep costs £70

total £630+

So the entire point of the template wording is to show double recovery, thus:

The Claimant’s representatives, Gladstones Solicitors Limited, have artificially inflated the value of the Claim from £300 to a total of over £630, artificially and with no lawful justification, taking it above the sum needed to engage High Court Enforcement Officers, should a Defendant fail to defend in time. This is a clear abuse of process and the Defendant asks that the court uses its case management powers to strike the claim out for that reason and not allow any relief from sanctions for this highly litigious Claimant, whose solicitor representatives should know better.

thanks so much

each ticket is more likely to be £100 , not £60 , plus the inflated charges

how many tickets ? 3 or 4 ?

multiply that number of tickets by £100 and you get the initial default parking charges total

this figure per ticket should be on the signage and on each and every pcn

ie:- get the facts correct, its not £100 inflated to £480 or £630+

its the total charges for all the initial pcn,s added together, plus additional fees and charges


for info, any initial £60 charge is usually the £100 minus 40% discount for early payment (the so called bribe) - you are letting that reduced figure cloud your judgment and make your maths flawed

on page 1 of this thread you talk about 3 pcn`s , as you do on your previous thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5860788/gladstones-lbc-recieved

so for each pcn it was £100 reduced to £60 for early payment, so the charge per pcn was £100 and is probably what the signs tell you as well

3 x £100 = £300 , so how did they get it to £480 ? , simple

they add £60 onto each pcn for debt collection

3 x £160 = £480 , which is what they were claiming on the LBC

so the £60 has been added 3 times, once for each pcn

this is simple maths , not rocket science

the rest of their court claim is legal fees , added charges and interest etc

so its £300 which has been inflated to £480 plus fees and charges and interest taking it to £630+

Update: Received letter from Manchester County

GENERAL FORM of Judgement or ORDER

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1. Claim is struck out as incoherent and having no prospect of success CPR 3.4
2 Because this order was made without a hearing, the parties have the right to apply to have the order set aside, varied or stayed. A party making such application must send or deliver the application to the court (together with any appropriate fee) to arrive within 7 days of service of this Order.

can someone tell me what this exactly means?

LOL, it means you won! No hearing needed, their claim is struck out.

Unless Gladstones appeal in time, this is dead in the water as the lovely Judges (was it DJ Iyer?) at Manchester have struck the claimant's case out as ''incoherent and having no prospect of success CPR 3.4''.

:T

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
