    I like the countdown 'Days to Legal Action' ..... tick, tock!

    Abigale showing a friendly smiley face, yet just looking to screw you (ahem!).
    Abigale doesn't even work for DRPL, like any of the signatories on their letters

    Maybe they have taken on an ex WONGA employee who brought their lies and deception to DRP

    DRP have for years used fake names on their letters, same as the likes ZZPS/Wright Hassall

    Any sum which they claim which exceeds £100 is likely to be unlawful, read this

    Excel v Wilkinson

    At the Bradford County Court, District Judge Claire Jackson (now HHJ Jackson, a Specialist Civil Circuit Judge) decided to hear a 'test case' a few months ago, where £60 had been added to a parking charge despite Judges up and down the country repeatedly disallowing that sum and warning parking firms not to waste court time with such spurious claims.   That case was Excel v Wilkinson: G4QZ465V, heard in July 2020 and leave to appeal was refused and that route was not pursued.  The Judge concluded that such claims are proceedings with 'an improper collateral purpose'.   This Judge - and others who have since copied her words and struck dozens of cases out in late 2020 and into 2021 - went into significant detail and concluded that parking operators (such as this Claimant) are seeking to circumvent CPR 27.14 as well as breaching the Consumer Rights Act 2015.   DJ Hickinbottom has recently struck more cases out in that court area, stating: ''I find that striking out this claim is the only appropriate manner in which the disapproval of the court can be shown''.
