i should add , Northampton is the court that the hearing is allocated to, hence why i have now sent to the Northampton e mail  after Andy highlighted the mistake in sending to the business centre   

[FTMDave]

So you live near Northampton?

[kfdh1962]

i live in Birmingham, but from memory, i was only given the Northampton option. I would have certainly chosen Birmingham if i had the choice although Northampton is not too far

Sorry to keep harping on, but it's vital we're sure the WS has gone to the right place.

 

Can you upload the order you got from the court where there was the deadline for filing the WS?

[kfdh1962]

not a problem FTMD, i would rather be safe than sorry ,

Thanks.

 

So you were right.

 

As long as the WS has gone to the Northampton County Court (not the business centre) you're fine. 

 

I see you indeed sent to Northampton County Court.

 

The national centre for the bulk sending of on-line claims is based in Northampton, so it was a bit of a coincidence that Northampton is your local court too!

[kfdh1962]

initially i sent the e mail to the business centre , but after the advice from yourself and Andy, i re-sent it to Northampton Court e mail address a

 

Northampton County Court has it and i received the confirmation e mail

Received in the post today a letter from the court and Gladstones containing official notice of discontinuance of all parts of the claim

So they have bottled.  Could you post up the notice?  Well done you. we can alter the thread title to reflect your victory.

[FTMDave]

Well done on your victory! 

 

I thought they would bottle given the ridiculous 29 second claim, but hey, you can never be sure and it's always better to prepare too much than too little.

 

Have a think about if you want to sue them for breach of your GDPR.  They knew full well the stay was covered by their trade association's CoP and should never have even approached the DVLA, let alone passed your data to third parties and started a court claim.

[kfdh1962]

Brassnecked, i will post up the documents for information. 

 

FTMD, haven't really considered the GDPR breach , i do  recall you making that same point on an earlier post . has anyone else taken that step yet ?

[FTMDave]

Well 99% of motorists we get here are just happy that the invoice has been written off or the court case abandoned, and don't want to take it any further.  All perfectly understandable.

 

We did have someone recently in a particularly ridiculous and vexatious case, who wanted to go down the GDPR route.  However, a mistake was made - due to the fleecing company having become part of a larger group - and the initial letters went to the wrong place.  The Cagger then disappeared.  Maybe they thought it was hassle they didn't need to resend the letters.  Just speculation.

 

So if you decide to go down this road you'll be one of very few!

 

Obviously we would help, and I don't see how the fleecers could possibly defend obtaining information to demand payment for an "offence" which their own trade association Code of Practice specifically says should not be pursued.

That is good news. It takes a weight off your shoulders and you can have a well earned Christmas with no worries about parking tickets.And it sure beats the hell out of paying them anything.

I see the date on the discontinuance notice is the 7th...

 

That just happens to be the date you put your first draft defence on the thread!

 

The losers have obviously been monitoring you... PATHETIC GLADSTONES!

[brassnecked]

Yes looks like the might have been, Anyway they took fright just like Bold Sir Robin they turned and they ran.

Will and john they ran away, ran away, when witness statement reared its head, boldly they just turned and fled..........

[kfdh1962]

i did notice the dates coinciding . very appreciative of the guidance from everyone on this, and definitely considering the GDPR aspect as mentioned by FTMDave
