You must pay nothing unless a CC Judge says so  Read this and complain to youe MP

They have added what appears to be an extra unlawful amount for debt collection. Judges have dismissed an entire claim because of this. Read this and complain to your MP.

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''.

Yes you send a copy of your V5C when emailing a SAR to a parking firm.  But do not sit back and wait for the SAR reply, you have a defence deadline and can easily adapt the template defence without sight of the SAR images and data, which will be more useful at WS stage anyway.

oh, i did not attach a copy of my V5... should I do that?

Yep, you need to prove your ID and the V5C is good proof - no need for photo evidence such as passport or driving licence.

Right so give them something else; you know what not to send because we say this all the time.

For example, don't you think you are the only person with that claim form?

sorry for being a bit slow, but do you mean for me to use the claim form as a form of id along with the V5 ?

Yes, that's exactly what's meant.

date of issue 18 nov 2021

With a Claim Issue Date of 18th November, you have until Tuesday 7th December to file an Acknowledgment of Service. Do not file an AoS before 23rd November, but otherwise there is nothing to be gained by delaying it. 

To file an AoS, follow the guidance in the Dropbox file linked from the second post in the NEWBIES thread.

Having filed an AoS in a timely manner, you have until 4pm on Tuesday 21st December 2021 to file your Defence.

That's over four weeks away. Plenty of time to produce a Defence, but please don't leave it to the last minute.

To create a Defence, and then file a Defence by email, look again at the second post on the NEWBIES thread - immediately following where you found the Acknowledgment of Service instructions.

Don't miss the deadline for filing an Acknowledgment of Service, nor that for filing a Defence.

Do not try and file a Defence via the MoneyClaimOnline website. Once an Acknowledgment of Service has been filed, the MCOL website should be treated as 'read only'.

Op have you used a short version of your real name?

If so

Can I change my username?

In most circumstances, we don't allow this.

The only reason we will change your username is if it puts your privacy at risk e.g. you've inadvertently registered using your name, email address or something which gives away your identity within your username.

If you fall into this category, email the Forum Team your current username, the email address you registered with and three alternative usernames in order of preference.
