UKPC - Invoice for parking outside my Gym in Chessington, Surrey

Smoof

**UPDATE**

I had my mediation appointment back in July and have heard nothing until today when we received a "notice of allocation to the small claims track (hearing)" at Croydon County Court.

- The claim has been allocated to the small claim track
- Notice of a date and time of the hearing will be sent later time
- The hearing will take one hour

I've got directions to deliver to the other party and the court office copies of all documents on which we intend to rely on - haven't I already done that by putting in a full defence to UKPC ?

What happens now ?

No you haven't.

You need to re-read the section in post 2 of the NEWBIES FAQS thread headed in red capitals:

IMPORTANT: KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN.

Whats throwing me is that the N180 was submitted to CNBC back in May, and this order doesn't appear to say anything other than "wait for further comms from Croydon CC"

I feel like I'm a step behind in the process

What you have described is normal and those are your initial 'heads up, get ready' instructions from Croydon Court.

They will soon allocate a hearing date, so if your N180 didn't cover your unavailability in Oct, Nov, December, January or February, email the court those dates/weeks now. Think carefully. Work commitments? Holidays? Birthdays or family events? Half term if you have kids?

(BTW I know they haven't asked for this. Be proactive or sod's law it'll be a date you can't do).

So you should now expect an N279 discontinuation document to arrive by email before the hearing fee is due 

The linked thread has gone up from over 400 to over 700 discontinuations, yours could soon be added

Well wad-da-ya know.. 

@Coupon-mad one last request.. can you help me finish my poem?

In summer’s warm haze, when bright days were long,

A letter arrived, abrupt and headstrong.

From UKPC, that familiar old name,

Demanding a debt, a frivolous claim.

The fine was contested, the papers were filed,

A nuisance that lingered, neither gentle nor mild.

With help from an internet forum’s wise crowd,

The arguments sharpened, the case was made loud.

Through autumn’s slow turning, the wrangle held fast,

Each message exchanged like a shadow was cast.

But December drew near, with its festive delight,

The quarrels grew weary, they faded from sight.

The parking firm saw that their chase was in vain,

And quietly dropped it, relieving the strain.

A notice then came: “Discontinued,” it read.. 

A holiday blessing, no more to be dread.

So lift up your glass, let the good cheer combust

Because..

You won your case, fair and just.

Whatever they tried, another one bites the dust!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!
