Hi Dave yes indeed we won and its wonderful news. This is obviously their way of being sore losers and inconveniencing me slightly lol. At least it it was worth it in the end and i did not have to pay their stupid over inflated pcn. JK - I would need to ask them to find out the reason for the different location. Its a silly set up if you ask me. Im guessing its been discontinued and so the court assumed they did not need to inform me. I never got anything from DCB legal, the court letter is dated on the 25th Feb, i don't know at which point it was discontinued. Yeah that's a great idea and making sure people check before attending. I did phone yesterday but it was after 4pm and they were not answering the phone. Ill know for the next time.

Good evening guys many thanks for your posts and advice. Im sorry for the late reply but i fell asleep on the sofa when i got home. The good and bad news is that the case has been discontinued, the bad news is the claimant did not inform me of this. I wasted fuel and paid for 2 hrs of parking to find this out. Not that it matters now but the lady in reception told me that the county court was in Gloucester today and not Cheltenham however my letter clearly says Cheltenham. So i'm assuming the county court moves between the 2 courts. I was actually looking forward to getting a judgement in my favour but it was not to be. The woman told me that the claimant should have informed me. Anyway guys i thank you all times a million for your professional assistance with this one. It looks like they new they would lose and gave up, its appalling that they allowed to waste the court's time as well as mine.

JK many thanks for clearing that up. People seem to think you can but at the end of the day im not out of pocket by much.

Jk apologies i thought you meant website by WS. No i have not received their WS. Dx many thanks for your help i shall read through the County COurt FAQ. The address on the front of the letter says - county court at Gloucester and Cheltenham, 1st Floor, Cheltenham magistrates court, st Georges Road, CHeltenham, GL50 3PF. lookinforinfo many thanks for you informative reply, i was going to go there straight from work but i can always come home first and put my suit on.. I wont be losing any money im afraid as im on the early shift this week and i finish at 2pm. I can claim for fuel, research and parking costs. I looking forward to celebrating lol

hi JK they dont have a website Cheltenham Magistrates Court Contact Details, Email, Cases, Daily & Archive Hearing List Records WWW.THELAWPAGES.COM Cheltenham Magistrates Court Contact Details (address, email, telephone, fax, DX and map of location), Court Cases (Cheltenham Magistrates Court...

Good evening folks, i have my hearing tomorrow at 3pm. I have never been to court for a civil matter, what is likely to happen and what do i need to do? I plan on going straight from work, i finish at 2pm, it will take about half an hour to get there, does that sound ok? I called the court late this afternoon, sadly i was too late in the day and the office was closed.

Good morning guys. I called Jacobs and asked to set up a payment plan. They told me I have to pay the £189 in 4 monthly instalments, i told them i cant afford this right now, they told me to seek financial advice from CAB sigh.

Thanks Dave Dx many thanks for your reply. Spooking the judge is a great idea I hope i win this case, its such a waste of everyone's time but the stupid process must be followed. I have just been here a couple of months longer than you, i did not realise i joined in 2006, where has all the time gone

FTMDave - Its very impressive indeed how you have excelled in this department and you can give the advice and help the way you do. The team on CAG go beyond the call of duty to help others including myself and i will be forever grateful and appreciate all the help. I do donate occasionally when i can its good to support the site. I did see someone recently on the Stroud facebook page complaining about a parking charge and i posted a link to the site and mentioned the kind of help i got on here. I got over 15k of debts wiped thanks to the the amazing help from the team on CAG. So do i just turn up for the court hearing on the 17th Apr 3pm? Should i just follow the witness statement story?

jk2054 - many thanks for your very helpful reply. That saves me a journey then and thanks for clearing that up. Ill keep what you said in mind so i have an answer for him if they do.

Hi Dave many thanks for your reply. Does that mean the court does not need a paper copy? I assumed it would but there no point driving there and back if its not essential.

FTMDave - Yes its brilliant indeed ha ha its what crooks deserve. Would i be right in thinking i should hand deliver the documents to the court tomorrow afternoon and there is no need to send them to UKPC now?

FTMDave - I got the emails sent using the Gmail method i previously mentioned. I formatted the email like you suggested.The WS and the 5 Exhibits . I took a snapshot of the sent items in my email client and saved it. I got an auto reply from all 3 addresses. Dave amazing work indeed, when i read through the WS again i was blown away with how professional it is and your now on my christmas card list lol Brassnecked i have used Thunderbird in the past. I have 8 email addresses and i tried to use a client that can handle them well in an organised way and that is free. Im not sure what email accounts you guys have but im thinking you wont get an email receipt unless your email account supports it. Im interested to find out what accounts you are using.

FTMDave - many thanks for your reply. That is the same Bluemail instructions that i found online but it does not seem to exist on my version, the Outlook one does not work either even though i ticked read receipt, must be dependant on your email account. I found an add on for my browser, it works with gmail and it works fine Ok im off to get started on the email now

Dave - i opened Outlook on my pc as it has the option to use read receipts, it never did anything though in a test email.
