Hxcpm pcn - St Georges Car Park, Fitzwilliam St Huddersfield, HD1 5BB *WON + COSTS**

[fireintheeast]

I'm in court with them on 12th September. Exactly the same thing. I expect to win and I expect them to pay my costs.

Hi, is it the same car park in Huddersfield and the same ‘ticket was face down’ claim?

What ‘evidence’ do they say they have and what is your defence?

 

I am at the solicitors letter stage as I won’t pay either, they are complete shysters.

Same car park, same claim only evidence they have is photographs. My defence may be slightly different as the PCN they put onto the drivers car had the wrong VRN number. Signage is awful, non illuminated, ambiguous and doesn't comply with IPC code. Signage shown to be on the site map isn't correct. Letter to keeper non compliant, letter before court non compliant. I could go on. Once case is dealt with I'll post all of my defence / evidence.

Also I must remind people that Gladdys dont turn up, they use a local law firm to do the embarassing bit.

Read up on rights of audience, take a copy of the relevant legislation and challenge the person who turns up on their behalf to prove they are a solicitor and ask for their SRA roll number.

 

It is common to send along a paralegal for these cases and they dont have the right to speak in front of a judge unless they are directly employed by Gladdys or Hxpm.

 

The rep will huff and puff but be firm and ask the judge to either apply the law or you will request an adjournment as you want to cross examine the person who wrote their witness statement and neither they nor their SOLICITOR are present.

You generally get the judge telling the hapless rep that they cant now speak but can watch

Well I had my day in court.

 

Even better I won, with £300 of costs awarded to me.

 

Events turned my way on Friday when Gladstones emailed me to say that no one would be attending court and they claimed to have told the court the same.

 

Well the Judge knew nothing of that.

But he went through their evidence until he started on the signage.

He dismissed the case then.

 

A chat about their unreasonable actions led to the judge summarily settling on £300, I'd asked for more but one can't have everything!

It was all over in 20 minutes.

Good for you. Just goes to show that just holding your nerve is half the battle, having a decent defence will have got you the unreasonable behaviour costs as it means you would have won anyway.

HXCPM are particularly litigious as they are fairly new on the scene. No doubt they wil wonder about the quality of their advice from Will and John at Gladstones or is it Will and John at the IPC who have them the bum steer.
