Gladstones --- THE PURGE

in Parking tickets, fines & parking
We are seeing more Gladstones activity of late
threatening people with court

Now, we are all aware that Gladstones are incompetent
but this could be to do with the new government rules
about taking people to court which comes in on 1st Oct

This purge could well be getting claims in before that date

At this stage, anyone receiving these threatening letters
from Gladstones should respond if the letter ref starts with #1

All of these should be responded to by the keeper, not driver,
stating that any debt is denied and requesting proof of
their claim
Keep a copy of the letter or email

As Gladstones are known to ignore anything they do not
understand, it is possible such requests will be ignored

However, if they continue to court the judge must be informed
that you attempted to mitigate, this was ignored and to date
no answer was provided.

As the courts well know about Gladstones, such ignorance
would go in your favour.

    For those that want/need it, the "chapter and verse" of the provisions to read up on.

    For a start, we'll have proper disclosure and a proper period (30 days) to respond to any letter of claim. There is lots to be interested in, here:

    But is a claim for damages, a debt in the first place?

    this does absolutely NOTHING regarding "credit clamping"

    in fact it clearly states that no responce within 30 days , they can start court action , NO mention of having to use "trace" to find the correct address , which can be as much as 5 yrs and 10 mths out of date ,

    There has never been a requirement in any proceedings of any value to prove the correct service address is used. That responsibility is on the claimant.

    But that's why the CPR contains set aside provisions (and why proceedings should not be acknowledged if there is a defect of service).

    At least with the new provisions, these legals that parking
    companies use will have to think very carefully and go
    through the hoops. They are bound to make mistakes

    What a scurrilous post. Disgraceful, in my opinion.

    Are you really suggesting that Gladstones, a reputable firm of solicitors with impeccable credentials and track record are liable to make mistakes with the changes?

    You, sir, are a bounder.
