Wow!! 140 posts from receiving a Claim form and the Defence isn't filed yet.

That must be some kind of record.

Nope. This one is virtually at the same stage, but 120+ posts further on!

I take it that some people just the hang of the process quicker than others. There is a tendency to take you guys for granted for which I apologise. Clearly not the quickest and was probably close to losing every-bodies interest. I get that.

So much to read and take in and under pressure to get it right.

Just like being at Uni then! (Not that I would know - never went!)

But as a retired technical engineer I can use common sense and due process to work through a case , as an ex troubleshooter I had to take a problem , ascertain what was wrong (if anything was wrong as far as the company was concerned) , decide what action to take ,what info was required , who needed it and what they needed to deal with it , get it actioned , check it's been done and test the outcome to ensure that the issue was resolved

If it wasn't a problem for my company , I had to be able to stand my ground and tell the customer why we were not liable and they should look elsewhere

I haven't had a private PCN nor been to Court

But I can understand the processes and would do what I preach if necessary

You don't need legal training to do this , just common sense , due diligence , a sense of what is right , plus loads of reading and research , the rest is acquired gradually as the knowledge builds up

I too leave the brain behind as the typing tries to catch up with the thought process

Ah, that's what all us retired engineers do! I agree with your other comments about common sense, due diligence, reading and research.

This process has been a very steep learning process for me. Clearly I could not have reached the level you are at for some time. The pressure was on because it was me. When Coupon Mad sent that letter it made so much sense. The rounding up in each paragraph! A clear demonstration of knowledge but tempered with common sense. I hope I can take this on board over the next few weeks and be of assistance to others in my position. I can take the criticism as it is founded, just could get my head round changes to what was required. Seemed like a mountain each time I had to do anything.

I have emailed the defence and the email has been received. The letter was a PDF document as it was scanned to me.

Don't worry , a lot of us have learned from this thread and that wonderful defence , it's already been adapted in other threads this week because it helps them too (anorthernsoul has used it twice today)

As more court claims get issued , we all get better in fighting back against predatory scumpanies like OPS who prey on the young and innocent

A huge debt of gratitude and respect to all on this thread. Hope you have a great Christmas

Further to my SAR request to OPS and ZZPs, ZZPs have said

Quote - Good morning,

Thank you for your email.

These 4 cases have been passed back to our client.

Kind regards - Quote

OPS have only sent copies of NTK and original windscreen ticket, and not copies of emails engaging ZZPs etc. I understood that when requested they are required to send everything in connection with the case to me.
