You've hidden the issue date on the claim form.  What is it?

[FTMDave]

While waiting for the vital information above, let's be crystal clear about something.

Your friend has made a big mistake in not replying to their Letter of Claim.  The parasites thought that your friend therefore would not reply to a claim form, and they would get a CCJ by default. 

Your friend, to an extent, brought this upon themselves by their non-involvement with the case.  And it seems the non-involvement is continuing.  Why are you dealing with this rather than the person directly involved?  This "on behalf of stuff", as well as making us and you work twice as hard, is fertile ground for wires getting crossed, confusion, legal deadlines missed, legal arguments misunderstood and eventual defeat.

Let's have your mate here dealing with their own case please.

Rubbish advice from me corrected

He is having a life crisis going through a bad divorce. I thought I help the guy out. Someone also uninsured crashed into the back of his car last week and tried driving off:(

But you are correct, the info could be crossed/misunderstood if too many parties are involved. I will advised him to make a new post.

4 August gives ample time to defend the claim.

He needs to go here  https://www.consumeractiongroup.co.uk/topic/451401-cpm-anpr-pcn-claimform-the-atlip-centre-ealing-road-alperton-wembley-london-hao-4lw/#comments  look at post 7 and follow the instructions.

Once that urgent stuff is done please come back here and we can get on with the rest.

I'm sorry to hear about your mate's personal problems, but the court won't give a toss.

Hello.

I asked him to reply but the the guy is so down at the moment.

I will try help him as much as I can.

He isn't very clued up on these things or computer capable.

I signed up to MCOL and followed the instructions. 

I have also printed CPR 31 letter ready for the post tomorrow.

I have also re scanned and posted the pdf. 

He told me he overstayed and ignored all the letters:(

So you've done Acknowledgement of Service?

[dx100uk]

we cant ever be expected to advise PROPERLY without that info easily at hand in a post.

its why we do the sticky Q&A, save searching multiple PDF files

For how long?  Where?  When?

It was certainly a long time ago as they have invented £55 interest on top of £70 Unicorn Food Tax.

Sadly with no information it will be impossible to draft a defence and on 5 September he will have to pay all these made-up charges to them.

Chinoky please tell you friend that the way they are going will end up losing in Court and facing a bill of around £280. Overstaying is not always fatal as there are ways to counteract their claim and he can win in Court. Up to them which way they go. But he has to get involved.

For instance where is the original PCN as we need to see it. There can be multiple things wrong with it which means they cannot pursue the keeper for example. If it has been thrown away we will have to wait until the Witness Statement from Highview or perhaps from the CPR that you sent.

[FTMDave]

Thank you for this information.  It will at least make it possible to file a defence early next month.

However, several things.

1.  You say a Letter of Claim was never sent.  Are you sure?  Or was it thrown away?  If they never sent a LoC then that can be included in the defence but it would be a disaster to state this if it wasn't true.

2.  In your first post you mention the date 20.10.2019 and again in the PoCs you write xx/10/20xx.  Is this the date of the PCN?  Then if so in the defence we can hammer them for deliberately waiting four years to pump up the amount of interest.

3.  We've asked four times (this is the fifth) to see the original PCN, the most important document.  Where is it?  Has it been thrown away?  If so the CPR - which should have been sent on 11 August - might get it back.  Otherwise he will have to SAR them.

Getting basic information about this case is like getting blood from a stone.  Obviously that's not your fault.  But your mate got himself in this mess, you come along as a Gift Horse to get him out of it and he still won't put any work in.  Everyone here is an unpaid volunteer and if your mate won't lift his little finger you'll find several of us deciding to do nothing too, and very soon.

EDIT  I see fro's thread is a carbon copy.  Catford Island - Highview - overstay - claim form.  Fro is exactly a week ahead with the CPR.  It's a very good idea to follow their thread so you know what'll be coming - or not coming - next.  Fro's overstay was 23 minutes, your mate's could be within the consideration/grace periods.  But we need to see the PCN.

stop hiding details we need.

we need times/dates please

[chinoky]

Sorry the correct date is 20/10/2019.

I appreciate the help on this matter. I know the guy needs to pull his weight together. I have had words with him on multiple occasions.

The PCN is lost along with the letter of claims. Every letter before the claim form has been lost. He only knows his offense. I will read up on the other post and hopefully find some helpful info

Thanks again for all your help so far.

 

 

[FTMDave]

Understood.  Thanks.

Your mate and fro have the same defence date.  If fro hasn't received a reply to CPR by then, the next step will be for your mate to SAR them to recover the paperwork.  But there are 10 days yet.

[fro]

I decided to look up this post - I got a response to the CPR, they are making the request to their client and will provide in due course. The letter was dated the 18th Aug.

[FTMDave]

I see yesterday was the deadline to file a defence.  I take it that was done?

If by some horror it wasn't done we need the person in legal dispute - not chinoky, the person who has the claim against them - on the forum sharpish this evening.

[dx100uk]

not even logged in in over 2 weeks fat chance FTM.

 

[FTMDave]

Well either chinoky has remembered to do the defence for his idle mate ...

... or his idle mate has succeeded in his goal of losing the court claim.

[chinoky]

Hi all.

As my mate couldnt give me any details (or put in any effort). I checked a few other post and just submitted a basic generic defence.

Now he is just waiting for a response.

 

 

[FTMDave]

Well, that is good news.  I was fearing no defence had gone in and he was about to lose by default.

[FTMDave]

This rant will only be in this post, I promise to shut up after that.  The expression "to give a hand" means precisely that.  The person in difficulty is doing everything they can to help themselves, and others chip in.  Yet incredibly we have someone who caused this mess by ignoring a Letter of Claim and throwing the paperwork away, and the regulars are here trying to sort out his mess, you're here chinoky, fro who has their own difficult case kindly posted and tried to help, yet the person in legal dispute refuses to move their little finger,.

The defence should have included a paragraph about the excessive interest they are claiming, but Mr Absent has seen to that.

On their thread, fro has posted that their' solicitors promised to get the CPR documents from the fleecers - but haven't done so, after three weeks.  So the next step is to SAR Highview (not DCBL) and recover the binned paperwork.  So tomorrow his little job is to print the SAR, invest in a 2nd class stamp and get a free Certificate of Posting from the post office.

Let's be crystal clear that if the SAR reply is posted here by you chinoky, rather than the person in legal dispute, then several of the regulars will just stop contributing to the thread.
