UKPC Set Aside Hearing

Coupon-mad

So, is there no evidence that you attached with the first WS that you even need to nod to now?

@Coupon-mad Thank you so much for all your help.  Without your help I wouldn't have had a clue.  Im about to scan the lot in one document and send over to the court and solicitors in the morning.  Do i not send to UKPC as well?

Coupon-mad

No.  Not if they are using a solicitor.

That would be like buying a house and expecting to talk to the seller in person about exchanging contracts, or sending them a document! The solicitor is being used for a reason,

@Coupon-mad after sending the document tomorrow do you think it would be wise to raise a SAR with the solicitor? 

KeithP

No point in sending a SAR to a solicitor. 
They have nothing. Maybe you'd get a copy of the Claim Form back.

Coupon-mad

No need for a SAR and that (in some Judges' eyes) throws away the argument that the POC don't explain anything about the breach.

Don't hand UKPC a lifeline!

@Coupon-mad ok thanks

Have you created the document on a computer, printed it out and now going to scan it back in? Why?

I meant I was going to merge all of the scanned exhibits into the main template then save as a PDF.

Good.

And once you have done this application, there's one more urgent thing to do:

Please, please also find time to do this new Call for Evidence this month:

https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/80375249/#Comment_80375249

The Committee invites evidence on:

• The ways in which the County Court engages with litigants in person, and how this could be improved

• The causes of action giving rise to claims in the County Court

• What future reforms to the County Court should be considered.

Please tell them that private parking firms and their bulk litigators are the problem as far as small claims delays are concerned, as they dominate court lists. Parking claim numbers are rising every year and will make up about a third of all small claims in 2023, based on the 2022 figures that the MoJ divulged in the DLUHC's recent Parking Code of Practice Call for Evidence:

https://www.gov.uk/government/calls-for-evidence/private-parking-code-of-practice-call-for-evidence#:~:text=The%20call%20for%20evidence%20is,help%20the%20decision%2Dmaking%20process.

About half a million parking claims are now made (2023 likely figure).

The MoJ must separate parking cases with a new pre-action protocol requiring use of ADR instead of inflated debt demands and bulk litigators who want court. It should be a last resort but it's the first.

These MPs are inviting evidence not rants or opinion so we need people like you to respond, who are currently caught up in this CCJ nightmare that you are. Bulk litigators for parking firms are playing fast and loose with old addresses and causing CCJs galore.

Probably hundreds of thousands per year, given half a million parking claims filed and the MoJ stats tell us that 90% of most claims go to a default CCJ.

You have a relevant CCJ nightmare case and evidence to show the Committee to state that parking claims are exaggerated rogue claims and the whole framework needs to be removed from the inappropriate 'debt claims pre-action protocol'.  Ideally, parking cases should NEVER go to county court and should not be able to affect people's credit rating, probably millions of times in recent years.

This is a hidden scandal. You want to change things?

This Committee is your voice.

Interested parties have until 14 December to make a submission to the committee.

Please do it now while the case is fresh in your mind and you can show pics of the letters and tell them how awful it is that a 'rogue' firm can ruin your credit rating for a £35 court fee, yet to unpick this farce, you are expected to pay £275 per claim, despite the fact that the CLAIMANT is at fault and caused all this by playing fast and loose with old addresses and using the county court system as a conveyor belt to free money.
