Mil Collections Claimform re UKPO residential PCN - residents parking area at Albion mill Manchester

[ANDREAMOUR]

Hi All.

Looking for a bit of help and direction here

On the 16th September

i had a letter from Mil Collections Saying debt purchased Letter before action

The letter was very vague and and The registration plate was for a car i had previously owned

i wanted to know more about the alleged debt as i didnt remember getting a parking charge

i wrote back and asked for more information ie copy of the ticket dates times Pictures if any.

I sent it recorded delivery and heard nothing back till i received a county court letter

The court letter had more information about the claim.

When i looked at it i realised that it wasnt me that was driving the vehicle at the time but a family member who was using the car whilst buying it off me paying me instalments monthly which is why the car was still in my name at that time of the alleged offence.

i never sent log book until all the payments had been paid off.

I have now received another letter from court with a hearing date etc at my local county court

Ive been looking around the web and have read up on Mil and looked at cases that they have taken to court and lost

Im not 100% sure how to attack this.

Should i send Mil a part 18 Request and ask for all the relevant information ie

The original deed of assignment

• A copy of the notice to driver

• A copy of the notice to keeper

• Photos of the Alleged vehicle causing the alleged offence

• A letter from the DVLA giving permission to use my data

And hope it puts a spanner in their works

or just go to court and see if i can get them to throw it out due to Mil ignoring my letter for more info?

Has anyone here had any experience with Mil?

Think it is part CPR 31.14 for disclosure and part 18 might not be relevant. The former is to ask for evidence mentioned in their claim. Part 18 is to ask questions.

 

What has the person who parked the car said about this ? Did they get a ticket on their windscreen ? Did they have permission by the permit holder of the parking space to park in this car park ? With some flats there are temporary permits for visitors.

It was my Nieces Boyfriend who she is no longer with and doesnt speak to him so im not able to get any info from him im afraid/ :

Thanks for your response.

Initially when i received the court letter i just wrote back as my defence that i knew nothing of the Fine and i explained that i had wrote to mil to seek the information and they had ignored me.

I will fill out the above and get the cpr31:14 sent out tomorrow

Just looking at the cpr 13:14

It asks for the claimants solicitors but in actual fact this company are not representing anybody they have bought the debts and are now trying to take them to court themselves and represent themselves

I really do hope you didn't use the word FINE in any letters nor in your defence

as that will tell them you really don't know what you are talking about or doing..

 

hence they've moved it fwd to allocation stage.

have you gotten the N180 back to them and the court

 

we need to see you full defence please

it will guide us upon how much water bailing we need to be doing for you.

 

and please do that other link I posted too

 

without those two we will be paddling around in circle.

 

mils are a DCA

there will be a name sols on the claimform

cpr goes to them

[ANDREAMOUR]

Name of the Claimant Mil Collections

Date of issue 14th December 2016

( I opted to try mediation but they passed it back to the courts as I couldn’t mediate if I didn’t know exactly what I was mediating) 

Particulars of the claim

Charges for parking on Private land

1/The claimant purchased the debt on 14/09/2016 Assignment was sent 15/09/2016

THE CLAIMANT CLAIMS

The Claim has been issued by MIL

I wasn’t aware of any claim & I didn’t receive a notice of assignment

There is definitely no Solicitors Details on the Claim Form

and from looking around on other forums

these guys seem to represent them selves and most of the time dont have a representative in court

He we go this what i sent as my defence as i didnt really know what to say

[dx100uk]

last bits please

http://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?462118-Have-you-received-a-Parking-Ticket

and have you been and taken photos of the signs there?

can you also scan up to PDF the letters you got

follow the upload

[ericsbrother]

They dont use solicitors, not even the likes of Gladstones or BWL will take these losers on.

Read all about them on the parking pranksters blog.

They dont like court as they ALWAYS lose as they have no locus standi.

reason is that the assignment of the debt isnt properly executed and these was no debt in the first place.

Yes, do the CPR 31.14 asking for proof of assignment from the landlord to enter into contracts and make civil claims in their own name for parking co,

proof of planning consent for the signage and equipment at the site,

proof that the terms offered, if forming a contract, were actually breached by way of photographic evidence and a copy of the letter of assignment of the debt that was sent to the debtor on the 15/09/16.

they wont be able to produce any of this.

In the meanwhile write to court and say that

"MIL have no locus standi and list some of the other cases where they have been ripped to shreds and say that they have no prospect of ever succeeding in their claim and that the Particulars of Claim do not fulfil the requirements of CPR 16 and rule 32.14 as MIL collections know that they are not true"

Your defence is unfortunately not going to defeat event their rubbish claim because it isnt a defence, it is a moan about the unfairness of it all and that will get you sympathy but no result

so get sending an addition to what you have said including the above statement and add

" In any case, the defendant was neither the driver nor the keeper at the time of the alleged breach so puts it to strict proof of a cause for action by the plaintiff against the defendant"

You will be obliged to send this to the court and the plaintiff.

( no bad thing, they may well drop the matter once they realise you are starting to use the right words

You now have to find out all about the original alleged breach.

This was a residential parking place so likely that it wont have the right permissions nor the right signage to form a contract so you need to get pictures of the signs to use when the case is allocated a date.

alos, clear your messages of old junk, it is not possible to message you until you do

[ANDREAMOUR]

For a windscreen ticket (Notice To Driver) please answer the following questions....

I was not the driver of the vehicle.

My nieces boyfriend was buying the car from me and paying instalments.

the car was to be in my name till he had paid it off.

My niece isn't in contact with the lad anymore so can't get any information.

5 Is there any photographic evidence of the event? Don't know

7 Who is the parking company? U.K. Parking patrol office Ltd  

8. Where exactly [carpark name and town] residents parking area at Albion mill Manchester

For either option, does it say which appeals body they operate under. No

 

 

 

 

PAPLOC+N1+N157.pdf

[ericsbrother]

so parking co is called UK parking patrol office? They joined the IPC in nov 2015 so their nTK wont have been POFA compliant.this is another point to make in your amended defence.

Have you still got the letter(NTK from them? That is more useful than everything you have posted up so far as it can kill the basis of any claim.

all of th above relates to a ticket, not a court claim.

Have you got rid of all of your junk messages in your in box yet

[ANDREAMOUR]

Thanks E-B

Im drawing up Cpr 16 letter now

Will get one ready for court also

[ericsbrother]

sent you a PM that may be helpful,

 

 

dont normally do this so let me know if it is useful to you or not.

 

Will continue to try and help here,

make sure you read up on MIL at the parkingpranksters blog as you can use the info there to help word your additional defence points

 

You havent read the post properly,

CPR 31.14 request for documents goes to MIL

 

A CPR 16 is request for strike out of claim and that goes to court,

either as part of your amended defence or as a separate document.

 

A copy of the amended claim should be sent to MIL,

you dont need to send a copy of the CPR 16 request to them.

 

Post up what you propose to say in the amended defence submission before you send it,

we may change words,

the order of things

or suggest additions.

 

 

Knowing what their signs say would be massively helpful,

do you know anyone who could photograph them and send them to you as an email attachment so we can have a look?

 

from what I can see on Google,

the signage is hidden,

you cant see it from the road

and the writing is very small

or it is not opbvious that a contract is being offered at all.

 

 

The wording of the contract may well be too vague or confusing to create an obligation

but that is a matter for the written evidence bundle you will have to exchanege before the matter is heard.

 

 

Do you have a date for the hearing yet?

[ANDREAMOUR]

I will check out parking pranksters and get some case history for mill.

If need be I could take a trip to Manchester and get pictures.

 

Sorry I don't have any correspondence from the parking company. I have cleared my inbox

 

It has been transferred to Birmingham now and I have an initial date 9th May but the claimant needs to pay £25 hearing fee by 6th march or the case could be removed from the list

[ericsbrother]

keep an eye on the clock,

if they are late paying

ask for the claim to be struck out

otherwise they may resurrect it at some point (unlikely)

If you ask for a strike out make sure you say that the POC is defective,

no chance of success based upon (list a load of others where they have fallen down)

and say that they are abusing the courts to try and coerce people into paying them when no monies could possibly be due to them as assignment of debt is improperly notified

forgot to ask, who signed the particulars of claim? MIL have a problem with using a fake name to sign off their forms.

[ANDREAMOUR]

Its signed by Alan Davies Managing Director.

 

Just Had a letter from DVLA with information of Companies that Have Requested My Details and there is nothing from Mil Or Uk Parking Patrol Office Ltd

 

I called the dvla to confirm this and they said i wasnt the owner of the vehicle on the date in question.

 

I think MIL have got their dates mixed up. ( :

 

DVLA are sending me an acquisition of disposal for the vehicle in question

[ericsbrother]

you have asked the wrong question of the DVLA,

you were suppoed to ask WHO has accessed your details EVER,

not ask them about a company that has illegally bought the information from some other bandit.

 

 

You must read what is written here and elsewhwere very carefully so you dont make an assumption about what is said or asked for.

[ANDREAMOUR]

I wrote a complaint to them before i came on here about my data being used unlawfully and asked them who they had supplied my information to and when.

 

There was only 3 occasions dating back to 2013

2 from the council and 1 from parking eye dated 8/7/2014

[ericsbrother]

PE dont pass on the info so nothing to do with them.

 

The DVLA have confirmed that the keeper details have been acquired but there seems to be an error so you need to go back to them and clarify this matter.

 

Also,

as part of your CPR 31.14 request

you need to ask for "strict proof" of who the driver was at the time of the event.

 

As your DVLA data indicates you weren't the keeper (!)

then the parking co must have been informed that you were the driver at the time by someone

so they will have to produce that info or admit that they don't have any evidence.

 

It could be that the family member got the NTK and decided to tell the that you were driving.
