PCM UK LTD / MOORSIDE LEGAL CLAIM

  • That opens the floodgates in their favour
    The counter is though that it goes to court and gets thrown out which destroys their threat modelling 
    Neither of that happens. Your case isn't going to set any precedent.

    Sadly you are just a number to them. They are copying the DCB Legal MO and are almost certain to discontinue.

    they're likely nailing the money from the threats which I'd guess 75% pay
    Yep or people get default CCJs.
    How do they get ccj's though, by not responding to LoCs?

    Not responding to claim forms, often deliberately sent to old addresses. 80-90% of claims go undefended.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

    But their WS will include all that, if they don't discontinue. I suspect the latter.
    So no need for me to focus my WS on any of that then? Just the simple case law outlined within my defence. 

    I just want to make sure I have something substantial as a worst case scenario that it does make court lol

    Then study the example witness statements that are recommended by coupon mad,  especially recently 

    Check the advice threads in announcements too,  plus any recent cases at the WS stage,  because a WS is not the same as the defence

    What happened in the end? Moorside Legal discontinued or did you have a hearing?

  • Hi all, not to steal the ops post but since they havent replied and i was following the thread due to going through the same thing I thought I would update, my case was temporarily thrown out due to the POC but they were asked to send an updated POC and they did which resulted in a mediation then a court hearing date, witness statement submitted, rang the court and they paid the court fees but then a few days later they withdrew from the hearing
