Another one bites the dust

GreenDog1

I removed paragraph 32 added excel vs Wilkinson case to my WS and that would be all, thank you to everyone that helped and we will see in next few weeks how it will go

I would like to say that the judge dismissed the case and I want to thank everyone that helped!
I also want to say don’t give up and fight it these PCNs!

Great news and well done. That's a £650 monkey off your back!

ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!

What did their rep say, or was it just you and the judge? Which court?

What did you say?

What did the judge say?

What point won it? Poor signage?

The court was in Southampton, it was me, rep and the judge and the point that won was about poor signage 

Basically the rep tried to go on about that I knew the signage was there and that I agreed to the terms and conditions, then asked me if I knew the signs were installed in may 2023 to which judge stopped her there and said that “how was he supposed to know”.  Their rep made couple of mistakes and judge was a bit annoyed with her from what I’ve seen 

 Judge looked at my evidence and clearly seen that signage is obstructed and you can barely see it,  after everything was done the judge dismissed the case and when the rep asked if they can appeal again judge denied it

Brilliant. They should have known better than to try Southampton, where the Judges appear to hate parking firms' poorly evidenced claims.

Exactly!! I also forgot to mention, I did get awarded cost of assessment so I just have to wait for them…

Icing on the cake = costs too!

Sort of a little update, they still have not paid my costs of assessment even tho their rp took my bank details after the hearing, they have till tomorrow to do so however what would be the next course of action? 

Gr1pr

A Letter before Claim,  warning the legal company  ( or parking company   ) that you will seek a warrant of control via the court if they do not pay in full within xx days  ( maybe 7 or 14 days  ?  )

Send it by email as an attachment,  also providing the claim reference,  any judgment reference,  your name,  address and bank details etc

If DCBL do not pay, you can instruct the court bailiffs to collect for you. It costs a bit but you get it back as it's added to what they owe you.

As already said DCBL should have known about the Southampton court, the judges do not like parking firms or their legals. ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES ?

WELL DONE
