County Court claim paperwork received, need to submit my defence.
Two things
1) The claim was sent to my old address - is this grounds enough to ignore completely?
2) How much do I give away in my brief defence? I have video evidence to support the fact there is no signage. Should I mention this or keep it quiet?
All assistance most welcome
You need to put up a stout defence and not worry about "giving anything away" as they are going to receive your defence anyway. Keep your video evidence for the witness statement and evidence stage a bit down the line.1 -
Thanks Le_Kirk
I notice that its Gladstones representing ESPE in this claim. I also did not get any letter before claim.
As the box for the defence is quite small, do I keep it simple? My only solid defence is that there was no signage at any point between entering said road and stopping the vehicle (which I have proof of with a drive-by video).
Are there any examples of claim form defences on this forum? I've looked but not found any so far.0 -
Write nothing on the Claim Form - absolutely nothing.
If you answer my earlier question, all will be revealed.
There are seventeen example Defences linked from post #2 of the NEWBIES thread. Read them all.1 -

Spend time reading the NEWBIES thread second post, please, look at the example defences and bargepole's thread about COURT PROCEDURES (read that in detail). And then look through the forum and read ANY Gladstones defence thread like yours then come back here more informed, and show us a decent defence draft here first.
And please just answer KeithP's question...PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
CLICK at the top or bottom of any page where it says:

Sorry Keith completely missed that as I thought your post was blank!
The issue date is 6 December.0 -

Apologies, I can't tell whether this paperwork is an LBC or a claim itself. The thread you refer to says that if it mentions 30 days and includes a response pack it is an LBC. Well this does have a response pack but no mention of 30 days. 14 days appears a lot though. The amount being claimed is now up to £411.87.
So assuming this is an LBC I need to- Send an SAR to ESPE
- Notify Gladstones about the SAR and ask them to halt data processing
- Tell both to only use my current address
- (Potentially) write a complaint to to the landowners (although as they are not commercial retail therefore I'm not a customer of theirs).
I'll go through the defences again and come back with a draft0 -
If the form came from the government run CCBC in Northampton , then it's a court claim , not an LBC
So yes to a SAR to the DPO at the PPC including a copy of the claim form as proof of I D under the GDPR law , plus a data rectification notice if they have the wrong address , tell the solicitors too
Don't bother asking the solicitors to put it on hold , they won't and the clock is ticking
Concentrate on doing what you are told by the regulars here
Do not ignore1 -

That's a witness statement backed up by evidence , not a defence
Your defence is based on legal arguments , poor or inadequate signage is one of them , as is no landowner authority , POFA , the CRA , possibly other court cases and case law too , abuse of process should also feature , plus address their POC too
Read through those 17 defences in the Newbies FAQ sticky thread and start drafting your own defence , post the draft below for critique1 -

If the biggest letters across the top of the form read Claim Form, then there is a good chance that it is a... Claim Form.1 -
OP - confirm EXACTLY what you have got. It is not rocket science her e- if it states CLAIM FORM then it is a CLAIM FORM from the CCBC and you MUST deal with it promptly.1
