ANPR Preston H&S Litigation services - claim form received? **Won at POPLA**

[schofield 16]

Dear All

.Help needed to fight this if possible.

 

Ive seen other posts on here relating to this company and this car park PNC

 

31.8.13 My stepson parked his car for 10mins while collecting a pizza after looking on this form most advice was to ignore

 

11.11.13 after some invoice's I took advice from the Form and wrote to tell them they would need to take this up with the Driver of the vehicle

 

15.11.13 ANPR wrote back with their photographs and stating that failing to disclose the driver details left the keeper responsible

 

They also stated that if i felt we had a valid case to appeal we should write to them

and they would provide us with full details for the independant appeals service (POPLA)..25.11.13

 

I wrote asking for an appeal number (buy return of post )which they haven't sent

 

4.12.13 we recd a claim form about taking my stepson to court (Northampton (CCBC)

no claim

no filled in or issue date ,

 

Sent by H&S Litigation services in London ,

 

Also a letter from H&S asking us to settle this by sending £175..

 

And a copy of an agreement between ANPR and Ann Lithgoe

(i assume the owner of the land) ,

they also sent me a nice certificate to show they were members of the British Parking Association

 

I'm a little concerned as most of the advice on the form seemed to say Ignore ..

 

All help would be welcome

 

Many thanks (sorry to go on )

Can you scan that claim form up?

 

If they have sent it

and it isnt a genuine one,

 

then these solicitors are in VERY serious trouble.

 

That is of course,

 

is if they are saying it is genuine and not a simple threat.

**you can post up images/letters by this method immediately..you don't need 10 posts**

.

set your default scan page size to A4 less than 300DPI [150 will do]

scan the required letters/agreements/sheets - as a picture[jpg] file

don't forget you can use a mobile phone or a digital camera too!!

'

BUT......

ENSURE: remove all pers info inc. barcodes etc

but leave all monetary figures and dates.

convert existing PC files to PDF [office has an installable print to PDF option]

or if you have PDF as an installed printer drive use that

or use word and save as pdf

Is the action brought by H&S in their own name ?

or "on behalf of" someone else.

Either way they will have some tough questions to answer with regards to right of audience (toothbrush) or with regards to standing (they will have none I wager).

That is, should it be an actual claim. Besides putting up the papers phone the court and check on the case.

if they are 'fake' papers and H&S have not qualified their words properly, which they may have done, then this

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/28/section/135

could await them.

But we need to see the papers and know what the court says about the purported case to determine.

[esmerobbo]

If its their normal MO it will be a draft claim form not an official one!

[lamma]

And the named 'claimant' being ?

[esmerobbo]

And the named 'claimant' being ?

 

They one I have seen was ANPR Ltd it was filled out except for the signature box or name box. Oh and of course no issuing court stamp!

[schofield 16]

I've scanned the form but struggaling to att to the thread any clue's

Follow instructions at post #3

[schofield 16]

Hi

the claimant is ANPR Ltd

 

H&S Litigation Services is named on the back as the Claimants solicitor's address

 

the form isn't stamped

 

the statement of truth has a printed name from a computer and intials in the signed area as the Litigation officer

 

They've also sent pictures of the car on paper and CD but i cant see any time or date stamp Dose that make a difference

 

Should i ring the county court in Northhampton

 

Thanks

[Homer67]

I would contact Northampton and check if this is an actual registered claim or not before you do anything else.

[schofield 16]

hi

Scan of claim form

[renegadeimp]

Looks like a threatogram to me. Plus they are in breach of OFT guidance.

[schofield 16]

Hi

 

Its kind of what i thought I've tried to contact The court in Northampton but can't speak to them

 

The automated message says please have your Claim number ready Which i don't have there isn't one on the Claim form

 

any advice on the next steps

 

Thanks

 

Thanks

[Homer67]

Then it is not a registered claim form, the others will tell you how to pick that up and complain to OFT etc.

 

Just to be sure ring the court anyway and select the option for a human, then give them the PPC details and ask if they have registered a claim against you, that should be enough info for the court to find it.

[schofield 16]

OK .I'll try and find a human option

 

Thanks

[Homer67]

Just looked at the scans - no claim number, no issue date and no stamp, naughty naughty naughty - someones going to get their tuchus smacked

[schofield 16]

Hi

 

I've just spoken to a real person at Northampton And they reckon thaty without a claim number that no claim has been sent

They cant search by name either .So no claim number.... no claim ?

 

I just need to find out who i contact next (sorry bit new to all this but its time to make a stand)

 

Thanks

[Michael Browne]

They need to decide whether the claim is for trespass or breach of contract, they can't claim both!!

[dx100uk]

I've unapproved the attachment as you left numbers/per info showing

 

that is a BLANK claimform that ANYONE can download and fillout

 

you REALLY need to strongly complain to TS/OFT BPA etc etc

 

that is against every rule in the book to do that.

[schofield 16]

Hi

 

I'll start writing to them all

 

Thanks

[lamma]

Are they claiming that they pay £100 to the landowner for every breach ?

Redact that paper and repost please.

[schofield 16]

Hi All

 

I've re scanned the letters (hopefully i've hidden everything)

 

Let me know what you think

[esmerobbo]

Oh my lord they actually sent that, you do realise its a load of cr@p I hope. That really needs complaining about to trading standards and whoever else will listen, Trevor was an idiot when he was a clamper it seems he has become even more of an idiot now he is issuing charges.

[odds]

And just for good measures, they are way out of the timescale for making a claim against the registered keeper of the vehicle having failed to con the driver for payment.
