Well it's been a few months since I replied back and submitted my case to the court and I haven't heard another peep from them or UKPCS. Many thanks to you all for all your help and advise against these bullies. I'd hate to think how many OAP's and other vulnerable people that these have scare-mongered into paying up for something they had no need to. Thanks again for helping to keep it real.

Thanks EricsBro. I'll call the court asap on Monday.

I have now received a letter from HM Courts & Tribunal services asking for the £25 counterclaim fee, to fill a Small Claims Questionnaire (Form N180) and an attachment asking if I would like the case to be settled using mediation. These have to be returned by the 25-09-2014. My counterclaim is for disability discrimination. Do you think my situation has a strong bases to win in court? If not. I've not yet paid the £25 fee. Would it possible to retract the counterclaim and just get the summons quashed? I've searched on line about counterclaim retraction but could not find anything and could not telephone them as they are closed at the weekend. I would really like to get the form in the post for Monday morning.

Hi Ganymede! Hopefully on: counterclaim amount of £150 (they have set this as the price of a breach so it must be true if they have broken the contract) for disability discrimination. It did say there was a £25 counterclaim fee but I haven't payed anything as yet.

Thanks Eric's bro (and everyone else)! I've ammended my draft, removed the caps and included the bullet points as suggested. A counter-claim as also been filed under the Disability discrimination.

Thanks all for you help and advice! I will mail the MCOL with my defense at the weekend and post back on the out-come.

Sorry RenegadeImp. New to all this. Whats gpeol? I Googled it and from what I can gather It's something to do with the land-owner or UKCP not losing or incurring cost's due to my parking? Do I just submit/state this in my count-court defense section on it's own or with my other explanation?

..PS. Ericsbrother. This is a draft that I've put together on the MCOL site. I was parked in a disabled bay because I have a disabled tax disc (which I have had for 2 years (check with DVLA)and I had to take my disabled friend, that has SEVERE KIDNEY FAILURE, and CAN-NOT walk very far, to the Boot's chemist to collect a prescription. I did not see any signs at NORMAL eye-level that indicated that a blue-badge had to be displayed although after recent investigations I found there is some sort of sign but was unable to read it clearly in the area that I would of been parked at the time of the summons been issued as it is high up a lamp-post and without having my reading glasses, would of been unable to read it.I am also lead to believe that the Blue-Badge-scheme ONLY (LEGALLY)applies on CARRIAGEWAYS. Due to they above I also request/demand UKPCS' disabilities policy, along with sight of the contract between the landowner and themselves. Do you think I've got my point across? I've also discovered there is a cost in making a counter-claim. many thanks Daz

Thank you Ericsbro for you reply and help. It's very much appreciated.Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. The person who I get the disability tax for has had a severe kidney infection, so it's been all hands to the pump here. Back to this bloody summons. Would it be better to reply via post and have hard copy replies [if they do reply]? or better via the web which would be quicker? and how would they [ukpc's] reply to my demand of the disabilities policy between them and the landowner if via the web? I've had a look around for the first summons that they sent me via the post [this was after the mandatory plastic-bag-penalty-fine that they stuck on my window-screen], but I'm unable to locate it. I'm sure I just binned-it. The date's and time that they listed on the county court summons seem about rite as I can re-call. I did manage go down to the car-park to take some photo's of there warning signs but I can't find them anywhere on my phone, so will be popping back down asap. I do recall there been some literature about people parking the disabled bays must display a blue-badge. We only parked there initially because the disabled-bay was within walking distance to Boot's the chemist where my disabled friend had to collect a prescription. This I will be fully stated in my reply to UKPC. Lastly. Should I file a counter-claim for harassment and the stress this summons has caused? Or would that be costly and better left till [if] they want to follow the court-case to local court? Once again. Many thanks for your help. Daz

Thanks for the reply Dragonfly. Much appreciated. Here are the scanned images off the summons. I scanned them all. 5 in total as was not sure which parts you required.

Hello folks! A Newbie here! Sorry if this is in the wrong section/thread. I've received a UKCP's County Court letter today [28-08-2014]. This was from parking in a local shopping center, in a disabled bay on 08-02-2014. I Ignored the first summons due to the person that I took shopping as kidney failure and can-not walk long distances. I have a disabled-tax-disc, but not a blue badge so just Ignored the summons. The summons is a 4 page letter for £150 amount claim + £25 court fee's I have 14 days to reply and have a link to moneyclaim.gov to add my claim Number and a password. I don't know what the MCOL site is all about. Is that if I want to make a counterclaim? should i dispute the whole claim or part of the claim? Should i make a counterclaim against the claimant? Any help with this summons would be greatly appreciated. Daz PS. Can this letter be replied to on-line or do I have to post the thing back to County Court Bulk Centre NN1 2LH
