    Hooray, well done, another PCM Gladstones claim bites the dust with a decent defence!

    Hi,
    I'm currently preparing a defence report for a similar parking ticket. Can you please kindly send me:
    1- A copy of Barnet Council confirming that they are now controlling that site.
    2- A copy of land registry

    Many thanks
    Dan

    To whom are you addressing the above?

    Are you having help from any forum with your defence?
    Please note, we are not a legal advice forum. I personally don't get involved in critiquing court case Defences/Witness Statements, so unable to help on that front. Please don't ask. .

    I provide only my personal opinion, it is not a legal opinion, it is simply a personal one. I am not a lawyer.

    Hi,

    Thanks, I'm referring to itsmepip if he can provide me with the documents. If not anyone who can help. I was caught in similar circumstances last year and need to prepare my defence. I've been following the forum since October last year.
    Thanks

    Itsmepip hasn't visited the forum for over 6 weeks, so may not see this. Send him a PM, then he should receive an email notifying him that you are trying to contact.

    Zaklondon was offering help in supplying a copy of the Land Registry map. Have you contacted him?

    Have you read all the Parking Prankster blogs on Heath Parade - there's lots of information there that could help you develop your defence. Google 'Parking Prankster Heath Parade' for links to many blogs on this.

    You don't seem to have your own thread here on your case. Are you getting help anywhere?

    Thanks for advice. I've sent a private message to Zaklondon but never received any email from him.
    I wasn't aware that I should have my own thread on my case so I just followed the parking Prankster blogs on Heath Parade. They are quite informative.
    The last letter I had from Gladstone asked for £160 to be paid within 14 days otherwise they took me to court so I started panicking and spent sometime in preparing my defence report however I didn't hear from them for past 5 moths until recently I received a letter before claim. I read the government website and they advised people to respond to this letter. I've now extracting some sentences from my defence report so i can reply to them in couple of days time as I am approaching the deadline of 30 days.
    I don't get help from anywhere. I'm on my own with my own research and relying on good people on this website. Do you suggest I create a new thread?Also are you suggesting that I reply to their letter before claim or should I ignore them?

    Do you suggest I create a new thread?
    Yes please, with a bit of background and a timeline of events.

    Does the latest LBC's reference number commence with a 1xxx, 3xxx, or 4xxx?

    Your own thread is the place to get the best help, not flitting in and out of other threads. The forum will see you through this.

    Why not start your own thread here ?

    Read up in the Newbies FAQ thread near the top of the forum #2 there covers defences


    Put your draft defence in your own thread for comments before sending it

    So it looks to be a "genuine" letter from them.
