So do I just draft a letter addressed to the court, saying that I want an oral hearing or should I have got an N180 form? If I do have to draft a letter for the court, who do I address it to? How do I know the right court official will receive it? I assume it will look something like: Also for @lookinforinfo 's letter: This letter sounds a bit informal and a tad aggressive - is that OK? Edit: Just wanted to add that even though it is aggressive, I was worried that it might disadvantage me or that PCM/Gladdys would just ignore it (or maybe I'm just scared )Also, I have been reading through various posts on the forum regarding gladdys and in many of them, they had an N180 as well - hence my questions. Apologies if it seems like I'm being lazy.

This may sound like a stupid question and I’ve googled it but how do I exactly inform the court, do I write a letter/email to them? Thanks in advance

Should I just write a letter/email to the court insisting I would like a oral hearing? Or is there a form? Also should I inform Gladstones as well?

I have received a letter from Gladstones saying they are going to carry on with the claim, and intend to request the case be dealt with on papers rather than a oral hearing. They have elected not to mediate and have said they are happy to listen to any genuine payment plan. They have also attached the clients completed directions questionnaire which they have said they will file to the court upon request.

so ive tried to post my defence letter as today is the last day for the claimant to reply to the 31.14 letter however i cant log into the claim, ive used the claim number and password from the letter and it is coming up as incorrect, when i did my acknowledgement form i had no issues, i plan on calling the help desk tomorrow, i was wondering if they had withdrawn the claim. Thanks for all of your help so far.

Also another point, when i received the charge, the letter wasn't sent to where the car is registered, my car is registered at home however all the letters was sent to my Uni address.

I have done the acknowledgement form, so my next step is to write a letter of defence? who do i send it to? sorry i don't know much about this

hi, so after months of not hearing anything i got this letter this morning, what would you recommend i do? if anything?

:’) thank you!! I will do

hi, so i have an update, i received a letter again from TRACE, saying i had 7 days from the 4/4/18 to pay, if i had missed this, then they will transfer it to their solicitors and be dealt with and i still haven't paid.

thank you a lot, my faith in humanity has kind of been restored!

thanks for the advice, this is looking promising! could you please elaborate what DF and EB mean, thank you

The permit was in the passenger foot well but you could see it from outside of the car.

1. 30th January 2018 2. Yes i appealed, this is what i said: I recently bought a new car, my permit had yet to be stuck onto the new window so it was left on the dashboard. Presumably a gust of wind blew the permit from the dashboard onto the front seat. I was in a lecture when my housemate saw the traffic warden and ran outside to challenge him, however he had disappeared. He got photographic evidence of the permit on display in the front of the vehicle minutes after the traffic warden issued the ticket. The time the ticket issued was 10:48am, the time-stamp on the first photo taken of the ticket and permit on display was at 10:56am (delay caused by searching for the traffic warden). The permit was clearly visible from any angle, which is backed up by photo evidence. The photos were taken by a housemate who did not have access to the inside of the car, so he saw what the warden would have seen. I live in a rented house that issued 2 parking permits, only two residents of the house can drive (me and one other), so there is no reason why my permit wouldn't have been in the car. I understand that the permit should have been on the dashboard, but due to my circumstances i hope that you can show me kindness and allow me this once. I cant currently afford to pay the charge and it will leave me in dire financial circumstances, potentially leaving me in the situation where i cannot afford to travel home to see my dad, my mum recently passed in December and he relies on me to come home to visit him every weekend. I can provide photos when requested. Thankyou for time. 3. I have recieved a letter i don't know if it is a NTK, I recieved it on the 14th of March, there is no photographic evidence, it is a letter from Trace who are a debt recovery company, the letter says i have to pay £160 as the case has been passed on to them. The only thing I have recieved from PCM was the ticket on my windscreen. 4. There was no reply from PCM however they have claimed to reply but i haven't received any reason or letters as to why my appeal was declined. 5. PCM-Parking control Management, however it has now been passed to Trace-debt recovery

We don't have allocated parking and I'm a student at Hertfordshire University living in a rented properly for students. I received the parking charge on the 30th of January, appealed on the 1st and said this: I recently bought a new car, my permit had yet to be stuck onto the new window so it was left on the dashboard. Presumably a gust of wind blew the permit from the dashboard onto the front seat.

Apparently it was declined and i was sent a letter in the post on the 2nd of Feb which i still haven't received and i was made aware of this when i rang up after receiving a letter stating i have to now pay £160 as i didn't enquire about the appeal within 14 daysand it says on this on the back of the parking charge that if i didn't receive a reply in 14 days i had to call, I wasn't given any reason as to why it was declined. this happened in salisbury village a residential area in hatfield.

It is a residential area, I live in the area and my car is normally parked there. The area is controlled by PCM and you need permits to park there. I hope this helps.

Hi, I received a parking ticket for £60 if I pay it in 14 days and £100 if I pay it in 30 days from a PCM (Parking control management), I have a permit however it was on the floor of my car but visible through the windscreen, I still got a ticket, I appealed the ticket and I still have no reply. I got a letter in the post stating I now have to pay £160 because I haven’t paid, however I was waiting for the reply from the appeal I called and apparently if I hadn’t heard in 14 days from the appeal I should of called them and I was made aware that it said this on the back of the parking ticket, however they claimed to have sent a letter declining the appeal on the 2nd of February which I still haven’t received, I appealed on the 1st of February and the ticket was issued on the 30th of January. What shall I do? Thanks
