Without proof of filing in court the acknowledgment of service I don't think it is worth pursuing the point, although you could mention it if there is a discussion about the difficulties under which you have been working.

you need to file your N244, together with cheque or with form EX160 for fee remission (https://www.gov.uk/government/public...-tribunal-fees)

There is a guide for completing the form here https://legalbeagles.info/library/ho...-judgment-ccj/

I am back in the UK sorry about that, long booked….

Thanks, noted your comments from the 20^th January and understand. I keep reading the guide to completing the form on this site.

There are notes on the record with the court and correspondence back and forth about her MH problems and the breathing space. I have added a small addition re this to your guidance from 16^th January 26.

I assume I need to send in the Litigation Friend form N234 also on submission (with the N244 and and EX160).
Anything else at this stage ?

Thankyou.

I can't think of anything else that might need sending to the court

Quite an attractive offer I wish someone could have taken notice earlier to save the work and anguish.
It would appear to be £100 for each of the two tickets in one claim.
A couple of questions here first -

1. To a consent set aside order I think the cost you said before would be £123.00 instead of the £330.00. So who pays that ? if the Defendant this would be a cost to the defendant of £323.00.
2. As there is a CCJ I assume this is on her credit score – does that get removed, if so whose responsibility is that ?

Thankyou.

Answer to questions:
1) as you are applying for fee remission this should not be an expense for you
2) if an application to set aside a CCJ is successful it will be removed automatically from the register, and then from Credit Records. It takes a while and you will need to check her credit ratings.

Whilst any payment to these companies is generally discouraged, I can understand why you want to see an end to this matter.
You have enough on your plate without the stress of a court fight, so good luck.

Thanks for your prompt reply – so reassuring to have someone to clarify and take a second view.

1. Yes submitted the EX160 court fees application – I think she may get some relief as part time works with Universal Credit support.

1. CCJ on record – yes was thinking get an Experian/Equifax score now and monitor. Thanks for confirming that.

We are torn on the payment of the £200. The first matter 11/10/20 The Range Watford, parked for 22mins it was on a Sunday morning before the store opened at 10am. She has no recollection, therefore no admission. Clearly from images her old car, one driver in the photo non identifiable, frequented the town of Watford at the time. The first signs of psychosis appeared we noticed in October 2020.
Its harsh, but a lot of us get caught out by these measures from time to time……

The second PCN in the claim made up of two PCN’s does grate on me.
06/04/21 Novotel Stevenage – She recalls going to that hotel, around that date looking for a cheap room, been living in her car for 4 months by then taking cheap hotels when funds allowed.
Estranged from her family and evidence of being quite ill at that point. She recalls going to that hotel date unknown, was hearing voices and so on as she walked around the hotel.
On 16^th April – 10 days later surfaced at Grandparents in the midlands in a terrible state couldn’t speak, barely eat. I took her to Coventry A&E 2 days later where she was assessed by on call psych team.

I’m thinking offer £100 (on the assumption that in their view its £100 for each PCN).
But for the reasons described in a letter the second part of the claim the Novotel matter is not acceptable or justified and ask them to accept £100.
We/she pays the set aside which might be the full £123 with their set aside consent or less if she receives a reduction due to her income.
Feels more reasonable and just but that’s my outlook.

(Correct have 19 or 20 PCN’s still pending with DRPL and a former landlady asking for rent arrears but this is the priority).
