Letter of Claim by BW LEGAL

A great riposte by coupon mad

Sometimes it's a good idea to join the game , providing it is a considered and well thought out reply , I know solicitor's do this all the time

I suggest you reply with that carefully worded reply , it really hits home now poor their client has been

You wouldn't put your cards on the table in poker , just because the opponent asked if you had an ace in your hand , you might reply asking if they had all the same suit in theirs

Yes join in the game, and I like to copy their words back at them as you can see!

The point of asking about the £60 is to get them to dig a hole they can't get out of, that you can show at the hearing.

In your case, do the signs actually state the £60 as a specified sum, or is it vague, or completely buried in small print but £60 is in there? Have a close look and tell us.

That is excellent. It isn’t a bad idea to communicate with them then.

That's not communication, that's a shot across the bows. It could be seen by the court as an attempt to "narrow the gap" between claimant and defendant, saving the court's time and reducing the expense.

A veritable Coupon cracker. After all, it's not far off Christmas!

I am loving this. Thank you everyone. I despise these companies.

The £60 fine is on the sign but written amongst the smaller text.

ajbeats17

It actually reads:

‘You agree to pay consideration in the form of a parking charge in the sum of £100 to be paid within 28 days of issue. This is reduced to £60 if paid within 14 days.’

Coupon-mad

That's not the £60 I meant.

ajbeats17

That’s all that is on their parking signs in regards to charges.

Coupon-mad

Jolly good, and you know from the CEC16 court report I wrote, what the signs in THAT case said about vague added debt costs (YOUR SIGN WILL HAVE THIS).

ajbeats17

Excellent, thanks once again.

So it is worth adding this to the Witness statement about vague added debt costs being abuse of process?
