If you just "leave it as it is", they will discontinue. Responding to them, in any way, gives them hope that you are a low-hanging fruit on the gullible tree.

Hi all, 

The below WS extract from BAZ talks about the interest rate applied by Gladstones, can we assume the same for DCBL or consider modifying the below and remove references to the interest rate?

(ii). Gladstones have applied the wrong interest rate of 10.25% which they appear to have made up.  The highest rate allowed in civil claims (only at the discretion of courts) is 8%. I have discovered from research that this legal representative roboclaim firm (connected to the IPC trade body) always adds 10.25% interest and are highly likely to be one of the top five 'bulk parking case litigators' shown in the Government's analysis, linked elsewhere in this statement.

  31. Gladstones indisputably issue tens of thousands of inflated parking claims every year, all of which have the wrong interest rate (a deplorable 10.25%)  and the unconscionably enhanced £60 or £70 (per PCN) which can add hundreds to some claims.  Given that the MoJ's quarterly statistics show that 90% of small claims go to default CCJs, this is clearly an abuse, and it appears to be for the profit of Gladstones and nothing to do with the Claimant's alleged £100 PCN.  I hope the Judge addresses this in the final judgment, at the very least to warn or sanction Gladstones as the court sees fit.

I think that DCB Legal only ever use the 8%.

Yes, DCBL apply 8% but that is well outdated and most judges will ignore that, the same as the fakery from DCBL

They want to deal as they don't want to go to court and be spanked, hence they discontinue

Be patient, no further talking to DCBL

Thanks. No talking to DCBL at all.

I have a hearing date of 12th Oct so need to submit the WS by the 13th September so preparing for that.

Yes, prepare for it as though it is going to happen. Plenty of time to put together a WS but don't send anything until the deadline. There's a very high probability that they will discontinue by then.

Remove the point about the interest and specific stuff about baz's case.

But the point is that he includes the standard Exhibits that you also need, and the second half of his WS deals with the DLUHC's latest analysis. Exactly what everyone should want their Judge to know.

Ok thanks everyone - I'm in process of removing Baz specific references and will take out the comment regarding interest charges.
