County Court Claim Form

31 Posts

My daughter gas received a claim form from the county court business centre and does not wish to fight the case. However, the claimants costs on the form (copy attacched) do not seem to tally.
Could anyone please explain why the claim of £480 is suddenly £695.44?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Not too sure you will get much guidance on how to give £835.44 to UKPC.
I can honestly say that we are chalk & cheese when it comes to such matters and in this case, she openly admits to having parked where she should not have.
Our only query here is the differing amounts yhay I am unable to offer ber any advice on
But this will be won and she'll likely pay nothing. There is also no risk of a CCJ as long as the Claim is dated recently and she just defends with our help.
What's the date of issue (top right)?
It cannot be worth paying that sum of money just to avoid the simple enough tasks of using our Template Defence and then filling in a but more paperwork until they give up. No hearing is likely.
No partial admission.
No paying.
Just acknowledge and defend...

My case did go to a hearing which was a most unpleasant experience (apart from the outcome) and she is extremely scared of having to go through the same.
The date of issue is 31st January
Even if it looks like going to a hearing she will get an offer (later on) to pay less. Just before they discontinue. Don't blink...she pays nothing.
If I'm wrong, and they do not discontinue (as they almost always do) she makes an offer the day before the hearing and never has to go through anything.

By giving in and funding these scavenging scummers, she will only be adding to the misery of thousands of other gullible victims. It will not stop her from possibly getting more PCNs, whether from the scammers at her university or elsewhere in future.
It makes my blood boil when I read of victims just giving up and funding these bar stewards who prey on their gullibility and spineless attitude. It never ends there and your daughter will, at some stage in the future, be back to you begging for more advice on how to get yet another of the scavengers off her back as they will have listed her as a valuable cash cow for future reference.
Can you at least persuade her to let you do the bulk of the work in her name. She would only ever be required to show her face if it ever went to a court hearing which is not guaranteed. Please do not let your daughter fund these disgusting scammers for want of a sheltered existence whilst at university. How else will she ever learn to stand on her own feet in the real world once she leaves the closeted environment of higher education?
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'.
It is not just a choice between 'pay up' or 'go to a hearing'. Loads of time in between and every chance of a discontinuance.
No-one is saying any Defendant has to attend a hearing in the end. Highly unlikely and like I say, she makes an offer if I'm wrong about discontinuance and she wants to end it later.
We don't want people to make offers (because we are confident and we win 99% of cases) but even worse is just paying in full when a claim arrives.
The very worst move. Giving in to the scam. No Judge would allow that interest (at all) and most would also disallow all the added fake 'damages'.

I will try & help her defend as best I can although the car park is clearly marked & signed so I'm not sure what the defence might be
