Fluttering parking ticket

Janetx

Here is the copy of the contract that was included in the WS from Excel Parking.
I think we have only 7 days to request for the hearing to be struck out, is this what I need to do or should I wait and let the court arrange a new hearing and let the case be heard?

Hi Fruitcake,
Please see copy of Excel's alleged contract above..... 
If we send Coupon-mads letter and the strike out is accepted by the court would we loose the right to claim our costs? 

nosferatu1001

No. Of course not. 
YOu never lose the right to ASK for costs, which is all you can ever do. Ask. Even if there is a hearing. 

Janetx

Sorry just to be clear.......if we send Coupon-mad's draft letter to the Court asking the court to strike out the claim, we can still ask for our costs which  amount to

I have spent a significant amount of time researching cases, reading judgements, as I am not legally trained it has taken a great deal longer to digest. However, I will not be claiming for all the hours, that I have spent researching and defending this claim.

It's now called a Summary Cost Assessment.

I see the car park was in SA1, really hope your local court is not Swansea.    Please say it's not...

Swansea Court has been shown on this forum to have terrible Judges, who don't get the issue with parking firms and do not listen to Defendants or apply the Consumer Rights Act properly to these cases.  One crusty old Judge even started telling the D that his daughter lives/parks at the residential car park in question and that it ''needs parking management to stop rogue parking'', then he found in favour of the parking firm.

If it is, I suggest adding this Caernarfon latest strike out against VCS and hope Swansea in the South take note of what Carnarfon Judges are doing in the North-West of Wales against VCS who are owned by the same person as Excel Parking:

DJ Jones-Evans is not a happy bunny with VCS!  I really hope you are not stuck with Swansea Judges.  It will be your job to win the Judge round if so, like pushing water uphill.
