You were right to ignore all the earlier bilge they sent you, but a LBC is a formal notice of intention to start court proceedings, so you need to reply now. If you show you'd be huge trouble for them in court it may persuade them to go after an easier target instead. As dx says, snotty letter time. -
Ho! Ho! Ho! To be fair to Simon, there is one sort-of prominent-ish mention of VCS on the signs - as opposed to six for Excel! Normally a defence should be as generic as possible, but I'm musing if this once it would be worth part of the defence stating that the Defendant could not have entered into a contract with the Claimant VCS as the car park is managed by a completely different company. This might cause a light to come on Simple Simon's skull and push him towards discontinuance.

no one claim JCF v guarantors defendant 1 and 2- trial 5 march one claim JCF v guarantor defendent 1-applied for summary judgement as defence laid out poorly same claimant but against two companies (the guarantors of) same loan agreements and everything, defences are the same -
Right with you ...so was it one claim with defendants 1 and 2 or two separate claims in each name ? -
and if i pay for application to submit amended defence 1) do i have time 2)what reasons can i write in application that judge will be happy with for putting in amended defence? shall i also ask for an unless order to provide the Deed of Guarantee and Indemnity- can this both happen in the same application ? so i only have to pay once?

Post in Court Claim Against Hermes - item sent via Packlink was lost/tampered with **WON at mediation full amount **
jj58 posted a post in a topic,
Hi @BankFodder
Sorry for only updating you now, but after your guidance with submitting the claim it was pretty straight forward and I didn't want to unnecessarily waste your time. Especially with this guide you wrote here, so many thanks for that
So I issued the claim on day 15 and they requested more time to respond.
They took until the last day to respond and denied the claim, unsurprisingly saying my contract was with Packlink and not with them.
I opted for mediation, and it played out very similarly to other people's experiences.
In the first call I outlined my case, and I referred to the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 as the reason to why I do in fact have a contract with them.
In the second call the mediator came back with an offer of the full amount of the phone and postage £146.93, but not the court costs. I said I was not willing to accept this and the mediator came across as a bit irritated that I would not accept this and said I should be flexible. I insisted that the law was on my side and I was willing to take them to court. The mediator went back to Hermes with what I said.
In the third call the mediator said that they would offer the full amount. However, he said that Hermes still thought that I should have taken the case against Packlink instead, and that they would try to recover the court costs themselves from Packlink.
To be fair to them, if Packlink wasn't based in Spain I would've made the claim against them instead. But since they are overseas and the law lets me take action against Hermes directly, it's the best way of trying to recover the money.
So this is a great win. Thank you so much for your help and all of the resources available on this site. It has helped me so much especially as someone who does not know anything about making money claims.
Many thanks, stay safe and have a good Christmas!
