Hi there

 

i have a letter before action from Gladstones Solicitors regarding a PCN,

which happened 16th October 2017 outside a sandwich shop,

this was the only parking spot available and i was having dizzy spells and needed to eat.

 

When i came out of the sandwich shop and noticed someone taking pics of my vehicle,

i approached them to explain the situation but they simply ignored me.

The parking restrictions were not clearly displayed.

 

They have given me 30 days to respond from the date of the letter

- 15th November 2018 and the 30 days fall on Saturday 15th December 2018.

 

I would really appreciate some advice on this as a matter of urgency.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

Roland

It is just another threatogram but I would be tempted to respond and tell them that you know that they are useless as you have just read about yet another magnificent failure to attend court over a claim in Romford resulting in a loss of money for their clients. Ask them why dont they just shut up and send you £60 to avoid the humiliation later, it will be cheaper for their clients that way.

 

 

I really do mean it. Copy the letter to the parking co and make sure that you put cc Euro Parking on the gladstones letter so they cnat just bin it and tell porkies to their client

Many thanks,

send exactly as written in my post #8 above from "you know they are useless" to the end of the paragraph.

 

It really is that simple. The point of this is they have just had another loss at court so you are letting them know you will happily dish out some more of that. You are telling the parking co this beacuse Gladstones charge them money for no action and that they will merely be paying for bad advice as well as your costs if they take the advice of the owners of the IPC who happen to be the same people

from what you say about the place there is little chance that the claim will succeed.

The lack of signage, the lack of mitigation by the person taking the pictures ( telling you to read the signs or move the vehicle for example) and probably no authority to offer contract in the first place.

 

Have you still got the paperwork they originally sent?

Is the site near to you and can you get there and take some pictures or at least give us the exact location so we can have a look on goggleyes.

 

As for why you were there- irrelevant, mentioning it will could be damaging, you have either been offered a contract to park there or you havent.

opps internet went

 

the issue is that IF they do issue a claim through Northants bulk

then what they will do is use that email ad to file their witness statement at 1 min before the deadline

thus effectively nulling anything you put.

 

send them an additional email

that the address used is NOT monitored 24/7 and is NOT to be used to file ANY legal documents now or in the future and it is now closed.

 

WISE UP!!

it doesnt matter whose email it is you dont use email. They have a habit of emailing court documents at midnight on the day of a hearing and then claiming thye delivered them in good time.

 

We keep telling people to read a number of threads before any action and this is one of the reasons why.

 

In theory they could serve a summons vis email as long as the court agrees to this. I have done it to a large corporation who has a "problem" with their post room and claims they dotn receive stuff on a regular basis.

they are claiming breach of contract but dont actually state in what capacity they are suing you as they say driver/keeper.

The only certainty they have is that you were the keeper at the time.

 

We haven't seen the ticket they issued at the time

( what? they didn't issue one then they need to show their operative is either a n employee or has registered themselves as data processors with the ICO- that wont have happened) or the NTK.

 

We need to know when it was sent and any communicaton you have had with them as you dotn emntion any until your email response to their lba.

 

get the CPR 31.14 sent off now and you will then have enough time to use their non compliance against them in your outline defence

so no contract or planning consent reference? 

that is more ammunition to you as you can state that you do not belive they have the necessary permissions as they have failed to produce them.

 

The signs saying patrons only is a 2 edged sword, if you arent a patron you are a trespasser and that is nowt to do with ECP and if you were a customer then the rest of the terms are of little consequence as you have fulfilled the important bit.

 

the other points are really and rather than or so the furhter you get down that list of dos and donts the less importance they have

so they avoid actually showing they have a contract to be there in the first place.

 

Now you can sue this against them  by stating that they have failed to produce a contract with the landowner that assigns them the right to enter into contracts with the public and to make civil claims in their own name so you do not believe they have " locus standi" in this matter.

 

You further believe that they failed to get consent for their signage under the Town and Country Planning Act 2007  and thus the signs offering terms are there illegally.

 

Therefore it is not possible to enter into a criminal compact so there was no contract between the claimant and the defendant.

 

If you have time you add thsi to your outline defence that has to be back within the 33 days.

If you have alreday put in an outline defence you use this as the opening gambit to your witness statement as it will force them to either show the contract or drop the claim/lose the claim.

 

Gladstones are trying to do this on the cheap because to actually put some effort into this would be financial suicide. That is why they usually drop a well defended claim before the hearing or they lose their client a small fortune in costs.

Thank you ericsbrother for getting back to me, interesting to know that they have no contact with the landowner.... I haven't filed the defence yet which is due next week and i do need some guidance in putting one together, would appreciate it, thanks.
